运用跳读或边读边猜等技巧把握中心大意。
短文的中心直接影响故事情节的发展，决定着各小题选项该如何确定。通过一到两遍的阅读，有些小题答案会在我们的脑海里浮现，比如2空填do，3空填something或food，5空填home或house或hisfactory，7空填and等等。
[注]此时不要急于确定答案！

二、妙招二重视首句获信息
重视首句、突破首句。完形填空题所选用短文的第一句话通常是不设空的，目的是给同学们一个整体印象，同时提示短文的中心内容或提供故事发生的时间、地点、背景等。

7.A.writeB.waitC.lookD.pay
首句Atourschool，wesometimeshaveaspecialdaytohelpothers.有提纲挈领之效，简明扼要地提示我们，作者的学校有一个特殊的日子，那就是帮助别人献爱心的日子。有助于我们理解全文。甚至让我们毫不犹豫地确认1空应添单词home.

三、妙招三全面考虑定选项
整体理解短文、把握中心并根据文中线索（含体裁、时态变化线索、词汇线索、句法线索、社会文化线索、上下文线索等）由易到难地做出选择。
[注]不要试图从头至尾地去解答完形填空题。有的选项内容在短文的其他地方有较为明确的提示，甚至原封不动地重现。

1.由上下文可知她决定去旅游，decidedtodosth.意为决定做某事。
2.根据下文可知直到火灾发生的那一天情况一切正常。
3.从下文的captain，deck，可确定她是乘船去旅游。

7.asquicklyas意为尽快地

四、妙招四复读全文验答案
把填充后的短文反复阅读一两遍（甚至多遍），逐一检查、校对所选答案是否符合短文中心及上下文要求，并确保没有不符合语言规范、不符合语法规则的选项。
[注]很多同学做完形填空题存在一个误区，把很多的时间放到四个选项的比较上，这会降低解题效率。正确做法应是：
顺藤摸瓜，首先是藤，你拿到文章之后要重点读第一句。
瞻前顾后，在文章空格的上下文处，你觉得这个地方需要什么词，带着这个目的到四个选项里找。
顾全大局，做一道题时应该在段落里面理解一句话。
认清细节，比如考固定搭配的题。
猜想试题
阅读下面短文，掌握大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
