英语短文填空未给出单词提示型的解题技巧
在不给任何提示的情况下填空，难度较大，主观性较强，有时可能出现多种答案。
（1）连词、关联短语结构。常用的连词有and，or，but，so，for，while等，常用的关联短语有both...and，either...or，neither...nor，not only...but also等。如：
①Little Wang Jun could not go to school, ___________ his family was too poor.
此处表示原因，引导的分句其实是一种解释说明，不是必然的因果关系，且前面有逗号隔开，故填for。
②___________ Marrie and Jannie like going to the theatre.
横线处的词与后面可以构成both...and，故答案为Both。
（2）冠词、介词和常用的副词。冠词只能是在a，an，the之间判断；常用的介词有in，at，on，before，during等，通常考查固定搭配；副词的量还是比较多，常见的有however，never，yet，much等，但一般不会考查-1y形式的方式副词。如：
①Jackie likes to drive at ___________ high speed.
这里考查的是不定冠词的习惯用法，答案为a，构成at a high speed，＂以高速＂开车。
②Old Tom’s granddaughter used to visit him ___________ Saturday afternoon.
Saturday afternoon是指定的某天下午，所以不用介词in，而用on才是正解。
③It was only one day left, ___________, his father had no idea to answer him.
观察上下句，可以看出是转折关系，且横线与前后用逗号隔开，排除but，所以答案是however。
（3）上下文中出现的相关词。这一招是最为灵活的，但也是最难的。学生可以根据上下文关系和自己积累的知识，填入某个已出现的词或其反义词或其同类的某个词。
答案的线索可能在本句，可能出现在上下相连的一句，还可能出现在比较远的地方——上下段中与此段位置大体相当的句子。如果该横线出现在某段的首句，则线索可能在上下段的首句；如果横线出现在某段的末句，则线索可能在上下段的末句，以此类推。如：
Tony ___________ travelling abroad, but dislikes staying home watching TV.
由第二句话中的dislikes可以判断出，此横线处应该是填其反义词likes。
（4 The children were playing on the ground, enjoying ___________, dirty but happy.
从句中的happy可以猜出孩子们是开心的，所以应用enjoy oneself短语，故其答案为themselves。
（5）从句引导词。从句是此题型最为常见的一个方向，主要检测学生对引导词的掌握程度。如：
①He did not done ___________ his father had asked him to do.
通过审题可知，横线所在为宾语从句的引导词，此引导词在从句中充当宾语，且指物，所以是what。
②Those ___________ want to go to the village must sign here.
经过分析可以判断出横线所在为定语从句的引导词，进一步分析可知先行词为those，且指人，所以只能填who。
（6）短语动词结构。短语动词是以动词为中心的两个或多个词构成的短语，此类短语中往往是动词与介词或副词连用的多些。如：
Mrs. Baker was ill, so her daughter had to ask for leave to take ___________ of her.
生病需要人照顾，所以答案是care，与前后词构成take care of。
（7）介词短语结构。介词短语即多个词的组合起介词作用的短语，如：except for，due to等。如：
Mr. Smith took a plane to London ___________ of taking a train.
此题中说到两种交通工具，所以可以理解此句是＂坐……而不是坐……＂的意思，故答案为instead，以构成介词短语instead of。
