核心考点聚焦
解题步骤
1:答题前应先速读全文，理解文章主旨和文章框架。切忌边看文章边作答。
2:作答时应先细读每个选项,注意填的选项与上下文语义是否衔接、逻辑是否连贯。
3:每选择一个选项，都要确保其他选项均不能填入该空格处。
4:作答完成后，还应再次通读全文,检查填的选项是否正确。
解题方法: 根据逻辑线索解题
语篇是连贯的，换言之,语篇之所以不是一堆散乱的语言片段，是因为组成语篇的各部分(段落、句子、短语等)之间具有一定的逻辑语义关系。语篇中的各种逻辑关系通过一些标志词体现，牢牢抓住这些逻辑关系词，问题往往可迎刃而解。
逻辑关系的标志词
转折让步关系:but、yet、hwever、althugh、instead、thugh、while、whereas despite等。
并列递进关系:and、r、als、besides、even 、similarly、in the same way、meanwhile、furthermre、mrever等。
因果关系:therefre、thus、as a result、 fr this reasn 、f curse等。
解析、举例关系:fr example、fr instance、that is t say、in ther wrds、that means等。
巧用代词线索
代词用于指代上文提及的人、事物或整句话。但凡空格前后、选项中出现代词时，应查找到具体代指的内容,代人选项后检查前后语义是否连贯、合乎逻辑。巧用代词线索,不仅有助提高解题速度，而且有助提高答题的准确率。
考点一
空格在段首
当空格设在段首时,最可能存在以下两种情形:一是空格处可能是段落主题句。此时，考生应仔细阅读段落内容,选择与段落大意一致的选项。二是空格处可能是过渡句，起承上启下的作用。这种情况下，考生需要瞻前顾后，即阅读上一段结尾部分及空格后面内容，寻找能将前后内容衔接起来的过渡句。
________ It must be true that sner r later, everyne finds his r her way back t nature. I recmmend that yu find yur way in style.
A. This time there was n tent.
B. Things are ging t be imprved.
C. The trip they tk me n was a rugh ne.

E. I must say that I have certainly cme t enjy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was n shade as the trees were n mre than 3 feet tall.
考点二
空格在段中
【解析】E。本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了作者由不喜欢野营到喜欢野营的过程。本空位于文章最后一段，根据整篇文章的行文思路来看，最后一段是在总结、升华文章的中心思想，故结合本空格的后一句“每一个人迟早都会找到回归自然的方式”可判断出选E。
段中设空可为段落主题句或展开句。解题时要注意分析空前后的逻辑关系。设空处可能是以转折手法引出的主题句，或者是用来承上启下的过渡句，也可能是补充前文的具体的事实、事例和说明。因此第一步需要依据信息词将部分选项排除之后，把剩下的几个可能正确的选项依次代人设空处，最终确定哪个选项和空白处前后内容能达到语意连贯，逻辑关系清晰，从而得出正确答案。

When peple try t interrupt yu, have set hurs planned and let them knw tcme back during that time r that yu'll find them then. ________. It can help t eliminate(消除) future interruptins.

E. It's imprtant that yu let them knw when yu'll be available
F. It might seem unkind t cut peple shrt when they interrupt yu
G. Leave it pen when yu're available t talk and clse it when yu're nt
考点三
空格在段尾
【解析】E。空前一句说“当有人试图打扰你时，提出新的沟通时间，让他们在预约时间过来或者你去找他们”，空格后说“这样做能帮助你消除未来受到打扰的可能”，E项“让他们知道你什么时候有空是很重要的”可起承上启下的作用，故选E。
段尾句多为承上启下句或概括总结句。解题时可从这个角度去思考:这一空是归纳本段主旨还是引出下一段的内容？如果在选项中找不出与前文的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否体现出了衔接。认真阅读下一段的开头几句，看是否能与选项紧密连接起来。当空格设在段尾时，空格处通常是为概括性的结论，这时应注意查找包含结论、总结的选项，如therefre、as a result、s等表达。
Keep yur sleep/wake schedule n weekends. If yu're tired ut by Friday night, sleeping in n Saturday culd sund wnderful. But cmpensating n the weekends actually feeds int yur sleepiness the fllwing week, a recent study fund. ________

E. If the steps yu take are wrking, keep it up.
F. Stick t yur set bedtime and wake-up time, n matter the day.
G. Recnsider the 15 minutes yu spend in line at the cafe t get cffee.
【解析】F。由本段首句可知本段是在讲述“在周末要坚持执行你的睡觉和起床时间表”。本空位于段尾且与后段无明显衔接，故其应是起总结归纳本段主旨的作用而不是引出下一段的内容。F选项的句意“坚持你所设定的就寝和起床时间，不管是哪天”和本段主旨相符。故选F。
