點評 解題策略
1）從意思上判斷 在做題時最重要的是要讀懂空白前后的句子，正確理解了這些句子后，根據(jù)意思的連貫性、邏輯性或者線索詞從選項中選取正確答案．在讀懂意思的基礎(chǔ)上，再利用線索特征詞等進一步確認答案．
2）從詞匯上鎖定線索 做保持對一些線索詞的敏感是非常重要的，要好好關(guān)注空白前后的名詞和動詞，然后在選項中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等．其次是一些專有名詞，比如說數(shù)詞、代詞、時間、年代、地點/名稱等．尤其是在讀不懂句子的情況下，利用這樣的線索詞尋找答案是很有效的方法．
3）從關(guān)聯(lián)詞作為切入點 通常，英語的句段之間經(jīng)常會運用關(guān)聯(lián)詞表示過渡和銜接，讓文章的思路與更清楚、邏輯更連貫，因此文章中和選項中表示各種邏輯關(guān)系的路標性信號詞在選擇答案時都是很重要的線索．在做題時可將這三個層面的線索很好地結(jié)合起來．
