中考英语试题中的“完形填空”目前难度并不大，但是在初中阶段养成良好的解题习惯不仅为英语学习奠定一定基础，也为升入高中学习打下一定的阅读基本功。
现将五步解题法教给大家。经常操练，可以提高速度和准确率。 同学们可以参考一下：
一、Skip快速跳读全文，抓住大意
首先快速跳读全文１遍，抓住全文的主旨，了解作者的态度、意图、褒贬目的等，这是选择正确答案的先决条件。
完形填空一般首句是一个没有空白的完整的句子，往往点明短文的性质如议论、说明或叙述等。它能为考生预测短文的体裁与全文大意提供重要信息。学生应学会跳过空缺通读短文１遍， 抓住首句的信息，进而捕捉全文中的关键词语，并特别注意那些表示因果、递进、转折、指代等意义的连接词、副词、同位语，最后归纳出全文大意，掌握全文主旨。
二、浏览题目答案，明确要求
在跳读全文、抓住大意之后，开始填空。此时答题一定要耐心观察，仔细揣摩，理解已知信息的意义，理顺词句之间的逻辑关系、上下文的联系，推理判断得出最佳选择。
三、集中思想开始答题，避开疑点，先易后难
掌握全文大意以后，可以以此为主线，对所给A、B、C、D中的词语的确切含义进行分析比较，瞻前顾后， 仔细观察上下文中的暗示和含义。然后运用逻辑思维去推理判断选定答案。填空过程应从易到难，遇到少数疑难问题时不可徘徊不前，那样会影响做题速度，不如暂时绕开难点，先去处理那些为上下文能确定的直接的、明确的答案。一般固定词组、习惯搭配、常见句型与明显的语法结构等容易判断。
四、仔细斟酌，一一解决疑难
走完前三步，借助已补全的空白，就对全文有较清楚的理解了。接着集中解决少数疑难问题。先看看哪些词语的意义与本文意思不符，然后再综合运用词法、语法知识，仔细反复推敲，选出正确答案。
五、复读原文，验证答案
完成了填空，不可孤立地去检查各个填空，还要再通读一遍全文，再检查一次，看看选词是否得当，语法 是否正确，文意是否贯通，逻辑推理是否合理。要求学生从思想上重视这最后的弥补疏漏、改正错误的机会，以争取好成绩。
