“首字母填詞”是根據句意和已給的首字母,在句子的空白處填上適當的單詞,使句子意思完整、語法正確的一種題型。該題型既考查學生的單詞記憶和拼寫能力,又考查學生對句子的理解和運用能力。做好這類題,主要從以下幾個方面入手。
1. 通讀全句,把握句意。只有文章意思清楚了,才可能根據文意進行合理的判斷,從而有可能突然產生“靈感”,將斷層點的意義信息比較準確地反映出來。
2. 注意精讀,反復琢磨。做這類題,有的可根據固定用法來判斷,有的可通過上下文意思判斷。遇到難詞時,就抓住空詞句及其前后的句子反復推敲、再三琢磨該詞在句中的作用,由此判斷出該詞的意義。
3. 把握詞義,填寫準確。這里的“準確”應包括:1)符合要求。即所填單詞必須以規定字母開頭。2)符合意思。既符合整篇文章的基調,更符合所在句子的含義,不可出現意義斷層,說東道西的情況。3)符合語法。意義相符了,單詞選準了,還要注意所填單詞是否要作詞形變化:如名詞是否要用復數形式,形容詞是否要用比較級,動詞是否要變時態等。
4. 復讀全文,驗證答案。看所填單詞是不是最佳單詞,拼寫是否準確無誤,詞形是否要作必要的變化,短文是否前后連貫一致,情節發展是否合理,議論是否合乎邏輯等。
