第四部分 完形填空
简单说完形填空就是选词填空,给5个单词填写在不同的位置, 1篇短文5小题,每题3分,共15分.
以下完形填空题(100%实考题)题目难度较低,根据预测考试出现几率总结20篇,建议强记,可以直接看内容后背答案,确保完型的15分不丢。
解题思路:一般是一篇150字左右的短文中间留5个空缺部分,5个选项中选出最佳答案填入相应的空格内,一个空格只能填一个选项。
做题前快速浏览短文,忽略空白,掌握文章大意,之后以巨资为单位仔细阅读,逐个填空, 根据上下文,常识和词语,根据文章内容判断选择。先易后难, 利用已选出的正确答案推测未知答案。比如说一段话的结尾是句号,接着是空格, 那么这个空格主要从下面的答案中找一个以大写字母开头的单词,因为句首需要大写;比如说the后面需要跟的是名词,你就从答案中找名词属性的单词。确定一个少一个,剩余不会做的题目,可以填还有选的选项, 不要填重复的答案。
本部分不做红色标注,建议有一定基础的同学进行温习掌握,如基础较差可考前突击复习。
