1.各小题有四项答案的完型填空中，只有一项最佳，其余均是干扰性的或迷惑性的。做完型填空时，要注意下列几个步骤：
第一步，要快速通读全文，了解文章大意，正确分析、归纳文章主旨。
第二步，在理解文章大意基础上，对每道题所给的词语进行剖析，考虑语境，上下呼应，运用逻辑思维进行推理，再根据自己最有把握的、最熟悉的短语、习惯用语、动词形式和句子结构等，先完成简单的，把难的留在后面。
第三步，再细读全文，集中精力解决难点，填补空缺。
第四步，答题完毕，遵循由整体到局部、由局部到整体的规律，再耐心通读全文，认真复查所选答案是否得当，语法是否正确，逻辑推理是否合理。
2.首字母已给的完型填空比“四选一”的完型填空还要难些。除了掌握上述四步的答题技巧外，还要了解空格所缺词的词性，确保语法的正确性，注意数的变化。在填名词时，应联系文章的主题，注意它的单复数;在填动词时，要注意它的时态、语态;在填连词时，注意分析文章中前后句和上下文的逻辑关系;在填形容词和副词时，注意比较级和最高级的用法;在填代词时，要注意它的性、数、格是否准确;在填介词时，注意它的固定搭配和常用语法特点。
