　　1.简化句子

　　根据构造的成分，句子可以分成主干和修饰成分。主干是一个完整的主谓结构，而修饰成分可能是从句，定语或者状语。为了准确快速地理解句子的意义，你必须分析句子的结构。但有时你并不需要掌握句子的确切意义，因为有些句子逻辑关系极为明显，你只需通过这些揭示逻辑关系的过渡词或者语气词和理解其中的关键词就可以解题。所以，很多时候你并不需要真正的掌握句意，你只需将不可能包含过渡词和关键词的修饰成分略掉，这样可以帮助你快速地找到正确答案。

　　2.关注过渡词与关键词

　　特别留意那些决定句子结构的过渡词，这些过渡词经常是连词，有时也会是语气态度词。通过它，你可以确定句子的组织形式(并列，或者转折)，选择与之相匹配的词。

关键词是指那些决定句子内涵，正负态度和贬褒意义的词汇。一旦你识别了这些关键词，再由句子的构造的逻辑关系，空格的内容就显而易见。这里，最重要的是你对过渡词和关键词的敏感性。
