学习策略
单项填空是在特定的语言环境中考查考生综合运用语言的能力。
一、做好单项填空题型的正确方法
要想做好单选题，除了夯实基础知识外，更重要的是提高阅读理解能力，因为单项填空题是最小的阅读理解单位。只掌握基础知识而不注重培养阅读理解能力是治标不治本的做法，把掌握基础知识和提升阅读理解能力有机地结合起来，这才是提高单选题的解题能力和提升英语学习效率的正确做法。
二、英语学习的一个误区
单选题只是英语高考考查的一个题型。同学们应把英语学习的大部分时间和精力放在阅读、写作、听力训练上，利用听、说、读、写、记、背、练等多手段、多途径提高自己综合运用英语的能力。

一、完形填空题型考生失分原因
根据2011年新课标地区的高考完形填空题的阅卷情况，该题型仍侧重在具体语境中对名词、动词、形容词、副词等实词的考查。针对考生在试卷中出现的一些错误，我们总结出如下原因：
1．孤立地就题答题，忽视上下文语境；
2．不会正确运用文化背景知识和生活常识进行解题；
3．不会正确把握句子之间的逻辑关系；
4．没有全局观，缺乏通篇意识；
5．不会正确把握文章的主旨大意；
6．忽视语篇中的语法现象；
7．犯经验主义错误(思维定式错误)；
8．忽视语篇标志词；
9．没有掌握合理的做题顺序。
二、2012年高考英语完形填空预测
根据近两年高考英语完形填空的考查情况，我们可以预测2012年高考英语完形填空题型的命题将保持相对稳定，并继续体现新课程理念。选题时会注重选取贴近考生生活、时代感强、新颖的材料；设题时会注重考查考生英语学习策略、自主学习等方面的能力。
1．设空继续以实词为主，虚词为辅。为了提高试题难度，引导考生从整体上理解文章内容，全面把握信息，备选项多涉及实词，名词、动词、形容词、副词占80%～90%以上。
2．试题考查会继续以情景意义选择为主。大部分题目需要考生从全文出发，根据上下文语境或行文逻辑作出判断，这体现了“突出语篇”的命题理念。考生需要根据文章的整体内容，从层次结构和内容的逻辑关系上，选择符合文章情节的答案。
3．会设置一些干扰性强，重细微辨析的备选项。这就要求考生要结合文章内容的具体情景或备选项词语的习惯用法选出正确的答案。
