解題步驟

1:答題前應先速讀全文，理解文章主旨和文章框架。切忌邊看文章邊作答。

2:作答時應先細讀每個選項，注意填的選項與.上下文語義是否銜接、邏輯是否連貫。

3:每選擇一個選項，都要確保其他選項均不能填入該空格處。

4:作答完成后，還應再次通讀全文，檢查填的選項是否正確。

解題方法：根據(jù)邏輯線索解題

語篇是連貫的，換言之，語篇之所以不是一堆散亂的語言片段，是因為組成語篇的各部分（段落、句子、

短語等）之間具有一定的邏輯語義關系。語篇中的各種邏輯關系通過一些標志詞體現(xiàn)，牢牢抓住這些邏輯關

系詞，問題往往可迎刃而解。

邏輯關系的標志詞

轉折讓步關系:but、yet、however>although>insteadthoughtwhile、whereasdespile等。

并列遞進關系:and、or、also>besides、even、similarlyinthesameway>meanwhilesfurthermcre>moreover

等。

因果關系:therefore、thus、asaresultfor（hisreason、ofcourse等。

解析、舉例關系:forexample、forinstance>thatistosay^inotherwords>thatmeans等。

巧用代詞線索

代詞用于指代上文提及的人、事物或整句話。但凡空格前后、選項中出現(xiàn)代詞時，應查找到具體代指

的內容，代人選項后檢查前后語義是否連貫、合乎邏輯。巧用代詞線索，不僅有助提高解題速度，而且有助提

高答題的準確率。

空格在段首

當空格設在段首時，最可能存在以下兩種情形:一是空格處可能是段落主題句。此時，考生應仔細閱讀段

落內容，選擇與段落大意一致的選項。二是空格處可能是過渡句，起承上啟下的作用。這種情況下，考生需

要瞻前顧后，即閱讀上一段結尾部分及空格后面內容，尋找能將前后內容銜接起來的過渡句。

Ilmustbetruethatsoonerorlater,everyonefindshisorherwaybacktonature.Iremenci(hatyoufind

yourwayinstyle.

A.Thislime(herewasnotent.

B.Thingsaregoingtobeimproved.

C.Thetriptheytookmeonwasaroughone.

D.1wastolearnalotaboutcampingsincethen,however.

E.ImustsaythatIhavecertainlyetoenjoycamping.

F.Afterthetrip,myfamilybecamequiteinterestedincamping.

GTherewasnoshadeasthetreeswerenomorethan3feettall.

【解析】E。本文是一篇記敘文，文章講述了作者由不喜歡野營到喜歡野營的過程。本空位于文章最后一段,

根據(jù)整篇文章的行文思路來看,最后一段是在總結、升華文章的中心思想，故結合本空格的后一句“每一個

空格在段中

段中設空可為段落主題句或展開句。解題時要注意分析空前后的邏輯關系。設空處可能是以轉折手法

引出的主題句，或者是用來承上后下的過渡句，也可能是補充前文的具體的事實、事例和說明。因此第一

步需要依據(jù)信息詞將部分選項排除之后，把剩下的幾個可能正確的選項依次代人設空處，最終確定哪個選

項和空白處前后內容能達到語意連貫，邏輯關系清晰，從而得出正確答案。

F.kmightseemunkindtocutpeopleshortwhentheyinterruptyou

GLeaveitopenwhenyou'reavailabletotalkandcloseitwhenyou'renot

【解析】E?？涨耙痪湔f“當有人試圖打擾你時，提出新的溝通時間，讓他們在預約時間過來或者你去找他

們”，空格后說“這樣做能幫助你消除未來受到打擾的可能”，E項“讓他們知道你什么時候有空是很重要的”

可起承上啟下的作用，故選E。

空格在段尾

段尾句多為承上啟下句或概括總結句。解題時可從這個角度去思考:這一空是歸納本段主旨還是引出下一段

的內容？如果任選項中找不出與前文的關聯(lián)，此時可考慮與下一段開頭是否體現(xiàn)出了銜接。認真閱讀下一

段的開頭幾句，看是否能與選項緊密連接起來。當空格設在段尾時，空格處通常是為概括性的結論，這時

應注意查找包含結論、總結的選項，如therefore、asaresultso等表達。

soundwonderful.Butpensatingontheweekendsactuallyfeedsintoyoursleepinessthefollowingweek,arecent

E.Ifthestepsyoutakeareworking,keepitup.

F.Sticktoyoursetbedtimeandwakeuptime,nomattertheday.

GReconsiderthe15minutesyouspendinlineatthecafetogetcoffee.

【解析】F。由本段首句可知本段是在講述“在周末要堅持執(zhí)行你的睡覺和起床時間表”。本空位于段尾且與

后段無明顯銜接，故其應是起總結歸納本段主旨的作用而不是引出下一段的內容。F選項的句意“堅持你所

設定的就寢和起床時間，不管是哪天”和本段主旨相符。故選F。
