1.浏览全文时要重点了解文中所叙述的人物、时间、地点、事件，即who，when，where，what。
完形命题的原则一般是第一句话不挖空，目的是使读者进入语境，因此一定要认真阅读这句话。
例如：Why is a space left between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next?这句话从铁轨之间的缝隙引出了问题。根据常识，文中内容应与热涨冷缩的物理现象有关。
2.根据故事情节的发展选词，确定所填的词与文中哪个词有关系以及动作是在什么场合发生的。
3.试填之后将所选定的词放到文章中复读检查。(“字面译、通逻辑、搞代入、全文译”)
具体操作中应注意的问题
1.看清上下文，找准定位词
充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。例如：
1)Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is very very___________.
A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous
根据转折连词but的提示，所填入的词应与shallow相反，因此答案为A。
2)Mrs O’Neill asked_______questions?and she didn’t scold us either.
A. no B. certain C. many D. more
and是一个并列连词；either为副词，用在否定句或否定词后加强语势，由此可以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词，因此答案是A。
2.通顺逻辑，寻求搭配
注意固定的搭配，包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的搭配等，同时要根据内容选择正确的短语。例如：
3.扎实基础，搞清辨异
Soon I heard a_______like that of a door burst in?and then a climb of feet.
A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout
选项中的四个词都表示不同的声音，但B，C，D项的三个词都是指从嗓子里发出的声音，而sound则表示各种各样的声音。因此答案是A。
4.看清执行者，确定所选词
And video cameras can be used to_______people’s actions at home.
A. keep B. make C. record D. watch
句中动作的发出者是video cameras?因此答案是C，意思是“记录”。
5.寻求上下逻辑，从容确定关系
It has been many years since I was last in London_______I still remember something that happened during that visit.
A. and B. for C. but D. as
根据句前的many years和句后的still remember答案应选表示转折的连词but.
6.了解生活常识，确定相关知识
在这样的紧急情况下，人们的第一个反应是到最近的医院就医，因此答案为D。
