一、學會審題，注意把握問題的着重點
仔細審題是解題的最基本要求，疏忽大意很容易造成誤選。
---What happened to the priceless works of art?
--- _______.
A. They were destroyed in the earthquake
B. The earthquake was destroying them
C. They destroyed in the earthquake
D. The earthquake destroyed them
析：此題問題的着重點是“藝術品怎麼啦”而不是針對“地震”而言，因此，最佳選項應爲A。
二、結合上下語境，推出正確答案
此類題多爲截取的生活場景，句式靈活，用詞地道，表現出用語言來解決實際生活的問題，因此，不能死套語法框框，而應重在對語境的理解和把握，進行具體情況具體分析，選出符合邏輯行文的正確選項。例：
1. ---You seem to have lost your way. _______?
---Yes, I'm looking for Wangfujing Street.
A. Are you looking for something
B. Where are you going
C. Need help
D. What are you looking for
析：根據上下語境的線索推測出問話人“詢問對方是否需要幫忙”，因此答案應爲C。
2．We have't enough books for______ ; some of you will have to share.
A. somebody
B. anyone
C. everybody
D. nobody
析：根據下文“some of you will have to share”可判斷出“書籍不夠每人一本”，因此正確選項爲C。
三、抓住關鍵詞，打開解題的切入點
很多情況下，題幹上會有一個關鍵詞的'提示，只要快速鎖定該詞，不但能找準答案，而且還能節省寶貴的時間，提高解題速度。
1．Years ago, we didn't know this, but recent science______that people who don't sleep well soon get ill.
A. showed
B. has shown
C. will show
D. is showing
析：根據關鍵詞“recent”判斷正確答案爲B。
2．The group, ____ by Tseng Yungchuan, arrived in Beijing on Wednesday to help push for Taiwan to be opened to mainland tourists.
A. leads
B. leading
C. led
D. having led
析：根據關鍵詞“by”判斷，正確答案爲C。
四、關注標點符號能快速鎖定最佳選項
英語的標點符號常常是我們藉以判斷最佳選項的重要信號，因此，我們在審題時要特別注意它的功能，不同的標點有不同的作用。
1、--- ______ a second time, will the man have one more try?
--- I'm sure he will.
A. Turn down
B. If turning down
C. He was turned down
D. If turned down
析：根據逗號“,”的功能判斷，逗號的前部分要麼是從句要麼是非謂語動詞（短語）或獨立主格，此空應用被動結構，所以答案選D。
2. _____ some exercise every day —I'm sure you'll get fit sooner or later.
A. To take
B. taking
C. Have taken
D. Take
析：破折號“——”相當於“and”，前後結構應保持平衡，因此答案爲D。
五、巧妙運用“排除法”，既方便又快捷
有時四個選項中一眼掃過去，會發現有三個是不可能的，這時採用“排除法”是最明智不過的。
With a lot of difficult problems ______, the newly-elected president is having a hard time.
A. settled
B settling
C. to settle
D. being settled
析：既然“新總統現在的日子不好過”；“許多問題需要去解決”即發生在將來應用不定式，排除其餘選項，正確答案爲C。
六、採用“還原法”，再現廬山真面目
有些句子設題上具有一定的隱蔽性和迷惑性，原因是它已改變了原先的句式或省去了一些內容，使我們從表面上不容易辨別出其句型結構，增加了理解的難度。這時巧妙使用“還原法”能大大降低句子的難度，使人豁然開朗，茅塞頓開。
1、The more he thought about it, the more questions he thought of_____.
A. to be asked
B. being asked
C. asking
D. to ask
析：此題用介詞“of”設陷阱，受定勢影響會誤選-ing形式，但若能把後面部分還原爲“he thought of more questions to ask”，就能斷出正確答案爲D。
2. ---Can I help you?
---Yes, please. Do you have any books on cooking?
---There are only a few, _______.
A. if any
B. if have
C. if some
D. if do
析：最後一句爲省略句，補充完整爲“…, if there are any.”，得知正確答案爲A。
七、去掉插入語，化繁爲簡
有時設題特意加上插入語，使句型顯得繁雜，這時只要去掉插入語，題幹就簡單明瞭，一目瞭然了。
---Is that the small town you often refer to?
---Right, just the one_____ you know I used to work for years.
A. that
B. which
C. where
D. what
析：去掉插入語“you know”就知道答案爲C。
八、以邏輯爲主線，敲定答案
留意非謂語動詞與句子主語的邏輯聯繫能迅速圈定答案，如下題正確答案應爲C。
While watching television, ________.
A. the doorbell rang
B. a black cat suddenly ran in
C. we heard the doorbell ring
D. an unexpected visitor came to visit me
九、通過對比關係，鎖定目標
句中如含有thoughalthoughtut howeverwhile等表示對比關係的詞時，我們就可根據前後的關係確定正答案。
1. They wanted to charge ＄5000 for the car, but we ______to bring the price down.
A. tried
B. managed
C. failed
D. had
析：根據轉折關係得知“設法做成了……”，故選B。
2.---I think George does't really care for TV plays.
---Right, _____ he still watches the program.
A. and
B. but
C. or
D. so
析：通過前後內容對比，“不喜歡看電視劇”與“仍然”是轉折關係，故用but.
十、掌握固定句型，許多問題可迎刃而解
鼓勵學生自己歸納在學習中常見的一些固定句式，這對於提高單選題的準確率及書面表達的規範性都有好處。如，“祈使句+andor + Sb. will …”；“It +be +some time +before …”；“It wasn't until…that…”等。
The flu is believed_____by viruses that like to reproduce in the cells inside the human nose and throat.
A. causing
B. being caused
C. to be caused
D. to have caused
析：“. be said elieved to +V…”爲固定句式，再結合“by”判斷這裏應用被動，故選C。
