英语完形填空，往往是学生最头疼的题目，一眼看上去，都差不多，但答案却只有一个，所以我们要找到解题技巧，用最短的时间，选择正确答案。
五、注意经验常识
考查考生在日常的学习和生活中所积累的经验和基本常识，以及一些基本的科学常识。请看下面北京卷中的一个小题：
But we run so much that, afterwards, we had trouble ___45___.
A. speaking B. moving C. sleeping D. breathing
【分析】跑得太多，其结果当然是上气不接下气，即呼吸(breathing)困难了，我们一般都会有这样的生活经历。
六、注意文章结构
考查考生对文章脉络层次的把握能力。请看下面全国卷中的一个小题：
First of all, I respected his devotion to teaching___43___, I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talkFinally, I was attracted by his lively sense of humor.
43. A Later B. Secondly C. however D. Therefore
【分析】本文的写作结构很清楚：开篇点题难忘的哲学教授；诸条陈述何以难忘：前有First of all提起, 后有Finally落脚，那么中间只有用Secondly来过渡了。
七、注意逻辑推理
考查考生根据文意和所掌握的知识经验进行简单的逻辑推理来确定选项的能力。请看下面全国卷中的一个小题：
He was reading my words out loud to the classthe whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment. I did my best not to show ___53___, but what I was feeling was pure happiness
53. A. shock B. wonder C. worry D. pleasure
【分析】一个学生的作品被老师选中且在班上宣读时该会是怎样的心情? 那当然是愉快啦！
八、注意语法规则
考查考生语法知识的运用能力。近年来完形填空题中单纯考查语法知识的题一般不考，只是偶尔有个别考题。请看下面全国卷中的一个小题：
Can I? I dont think I can, Tracy said with a laugh. But l do have ___46___ when things come to me for no reason.
46. A. events B. chances C. feelings D. moments
【分析】由后面的when引导的定语从句可知，前面的先行词应是表时间的词，所以选moments。
