24、下文逻辑关系的能力。3.根据此类题型特点,预计2016年在考查形式上不会有太大变化。在文章的选材方面可能会更富有灵活性,会出现一些生活气息较浓的文章或者一些趣味性的话题。做阅读填空首先是通读全文,大体掌握文章大意,然后通读答案,迅速找出和文章相对应的关键词,将选项填入文中,再次通读全文,研究多余选项,最终确定答案。1.先看选项,通过选项中句子的句意或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的可能位置。2.再看空前空后,由于句子与句子之间有一种相关的联系,所以我们可以在选项中寻找与空前空后的句子有某种必然联系的关键词,从而选择正确的答案。3.注意代词在句子中的使用,利用代词的指代作用,我们可以从选项中找到相关的信息。4.注意一些特殊疑问词,如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词,那么就要寻找相对应的回答语。做题时需要注意的两个问题:1.如果问题设在段首,通常是段落的主题句。寻找主题句时,着重阅读后文第一两句,锁定线索信号词,然后在选项中查找相关特征词,最后看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。 2.如果问题设在段尾,通常是结论或概括性的语句,关键词要在空白前的一句或两句中寻找。 注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore,as a result,thus,hence,in short,to sum up,to conclude,in a word等词语。
