初三英语期末总复习系列 (首字母填空) 常用的答题技巧如下： 1. 通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解 每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。
因此通读全文时要一气呵成，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清大意。
2. 复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词 要特别注意文章的开头和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息。
在阅读过程中，要学会跳读，即采用暂时回避的方式。
约3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，要根据构词知识或上下文加以猜测。
3. 反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲合理 精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语、固定搭配或句子，并注意单词的正确形式。
4. 认真复查全文，把握整体和词形 检查文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无句型结构及语法错误。
比如填q ，要求填写quickly ，而多数考生只知道填写quick ，忽略了词性问题。
因此，深思熟虑很重要。
