【答題策略】

1. 克服畏难、急躁情绪。与其他题目相比，短文填空题的篇幅相对较长。面对短文中的空格，同学们很容易产生焦躁、压抑等负面情绪。事实上，这种情绪状态不利于同学们精准判断短文填空题的考查要求，进而引发错误问题。

2. 避免跳跃答卷。短文填空题空格问题的难度不同，在粗读全文的过程中，某些性格急躁的同学在看到一个空格后，很容易急着选出一个答案。事实上，这种跳跃答题方式会干扰其整体解题思路，因此，在答题过程中，必须纵观全文、通篇考虑。

3. 动笔时，要先易后难，这样的顺序完成解答比较合理。同学们应注意，要从文中同样结构或类似结构中寻找提示，然后大胆地作出猜测。

4. 联系上下文。如果某问题选项从语法角度无法确定，则必须从语篇（前提示、后暗示）意义上加以鉴别，调动自己的生活常识和文化背景知识正确作答。
