I. 解题思路
完形填空题旨在测试学生综合运用英语的能力，做此题必须通篇考虑，掌握大意，综合运用所学词汇、语法及常识进行判断推理。解此类题主要从以下四步做起：
第一步 重视首句，把握开篇。完形填空一般无标题，首句一般不留空白，是完整的一句，全文信息从此开始。细读首句，可判断文章体裁，预测全文大意。
第二步 快速阅读全文，掌握大意。阅读要一气呵成，尽管有空格、生词或不明白的地方，仍要快速读下去。阅读时要注意找出关键词或中心词，划出与人物或情节有关的词，以便形成思路。注意不要在未掌握大意的情况下边阅读、边做题，这样速度慢、准确率低。
第三步 瞻前顾后，灵活答题。“瞻前顾后”，即先读所要填词的句子，回顾上一句，兼顾下一句。如果一句中有两个空白待填，在初定答案时要“双管齐下”，在两处同时试填，然后再通读全句，确定答案。
第四步 通读全文，调整答案。把填好的短文通读一遍，进行核查。同时注意以下三点：
1． 上下文的一致性：即时态、语态的一致；代词、名词、单复数的一致。
2． 从语法和惯用法及习惯搭配、甚至语感入手，看所填词是否符合上下文的逻辑。
3． 段与段、句与句之间的衔接是否连贯。
II. 解题方法
用语篇知识做完形填空题是一个好方法。语篇是衔接合理、符合逻辑、语义连贯的一个个语言单位。每一篇文章都会涉及到衔接与连贯。语篇的衔接有词汇手段和语法手段两种。现介绍如下：
一、词汇手段
英语词汇衔接关系分为两大类：复现关系和同现关系。
（一）复现关系
词汇的复现关系指某一个词以原词、同义词、近义词、分义词、下义词、概括词或其他形式重复出现在语篇中，语篇中的句子通过这种复现关系达到相互衔接。因此，词汇的复现关系可分为原词复现、同义词复现、近义词复现、上下义词复现和概括词复现几种。例如：
People form new companies to make goods and service because they hope to 1 a profit, they work to improve their goods and service, to devise new products, and to make a profit.
A product must be something that 2 will choose to buy. This gives the consumers some power whatever they are willing and able to buy is called demand. 3 is made and offered for sale is called supply. The demand for a product or service always affects cars 4 of that product or service. For example, 5 consumers buy only small cars; manufacture will keep on making them. If consumers buy only large automobiles, manufactures will make these instead. Sometimes the quality of the service that is available will decide which cars are bought.
1．填make, 句末make a profit与此处原词复现
2．填consumers,与下句中的con?鄄sumers原词复现
3．填Whatever，与前一句whatever原词复现
4．填supply，与前一句supply原词复现
5．填if，后词复现
（二）同现关系
词汇的同现关系指词汇共同出现的倾向性。在语篇中，围绕一定的话题，与之相关的词汇往往会同时出现，而其他一些词就不大可能出现。例如：写一篇文章描述教室，下列词汇就可能出现：classroom, blackboard, desk, chair, teacher, students， floor等。这些意义相互联系的词汇属于同一个词汇套，形成词汇链，当我们遇到其中某些词语时，就会自然想到词汇链中的另一些词。例如：
1. My grandmother worked hard all day, making butter, washing clothes, cleaning the house and even _____ in the field when help was scarce.
填 working，与后边the field 同现
2. For example,there was the time I called in _____ to fix my refrigerator before it was too warm.
填repairman,与fix my refrigerator同现
3. I unusually have the problem of parents coming in and telling me how they really _____ their kids. They tell me they stand over them when they do their homework. They check their work and make a big fuss over grades. They criticize the kids over everything having to do with school.
填treat,与后边tell,check,criticize同现
