初中英语专题练习——短文填空
解题技巧：
1.第一遍通读全文，对文章有一个整体认识，了解故事的时间、地点、人物等之间的关系，为下一步填空打下坚实的基础，切忌看一空填一空。
2.第二遍逐句阅读并填空，根据句子的语法以及上下文的整体逻辑关系用恰当的词填入空白，特别是有时根据意思可能有多种用法时，应填入恰当的单词并符合英美人的习惯表达，不要受汉语的影响。例如：“我看一看你的信”，关于“看”的就有六个，这就需要进行筛选，只能用read，不能用watch, see, look, have a look at, look at等。
3.第三遍复查答案。将填空的短文再完整地阅读一次，以检查全文是否通顺，所填答案是否最为合理，形式是否正确等等。
