一、完型填空的特點
1、完形填空考試首先是測試考生對篇章的理解能力。雖然所給出的文章被抽去了20個詞，但是整篇文章的內(nèi)容仍是可以理解的。如果考生不能理解文章內(nèi)容，就難以將正確的詞填入文中。這也就是完型填空題與以單句形式考核詞匯和語法的實體的根本區(qū)別。由此可見，考生在作題時必須時刻從上下文考慮，部應該只看到所添的詞在短語或句子內(nèi)是否可行。因此，在作題時最好將全文通讀一下，了解了全文的意識以后在作題。
2、完形填空考試還測試考生使用詞匯和語法結(jié)構(gòu)的能力。文章中留出的每一個空格要求填入一個詞?？荚嚧缶V規(guī)定：“填空的詞項包括結(jié)構(gòu)詞和實義詞”。結(jié)構(gòu)詞（也稱虛詞，有代詞、冠詞、介詞、連詞、關(guān)系詞等）主要是表示語法結(jié)構(gòu)關(guān)系的，在選用結(jié)構(gòu)詞時便需要考慮在語法上是否恰當。對實義詞（名詞、形容詞、數(shù)詞、動詞和副詞）的選擇既要看其意思用在句中是否得當，也要看它與其他詞的搭配關(guān)系是否合適。
二、完形填空的一般性做題規(guī)律
中心主題原則：考生應充分利用段首句提供的信息，去挖掘文章的思路，尋找文章的脈絡與線索；
復現(xiàn)、改寫原則：由于完形填空的文章是一個意義相關(guān)聯(lián)的語篇，圍繞一個話題論述因此在行文中詞語的重復、替代、復現(xiàn)和同現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象是不可避免的。根據(jù)這個原則，某一個空格所對應的答案很可能就是在上下文中復現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)的相關(guān)詞，考生可以根據(jù)這些詞之間的有機聯(lián)系來確定答案；
熟詞辟義原則： 考生熟悉的單詞詞義，但根據(jù)文章的上下文中確是例外一層含義；
代入、排除原則：分析備選答案之間的異同，將自己認識的選項帶到原文中，從而排除干擾項選出正確答案。
