）1研读首句，判断主旨和完型填空题相同的是，选词填空题的首句通常不设置空格。考生可根据首句来判断文章的体裁、背景、写作意图甚至中心思想。文章首句一般对全文起概括或提示的作用，因此，研读首句对解答此题比较重要。例如：大学英语四级考试2014 年 6 月（第 2 套）“选词填空”的第一句话是：The fact is,the world has been finding less oil than it has been using for more than twentyyears now.（事实上，20 多年间，全球的石油勘探量比石油的实际消耗量小。）根据这句话，我们就可以判断：石油的消耗量大于石油勘探量，那么全球的石油是供不应求的，这也是文章的主题。那么下文可能围绕石油供不应求的原因来写，也可能阐述解决此问题的措施，倡导大家解决石油问题。由此可见，把握文章脉络、掌握文章主题对解题来说极为重要。2通读全文，把握大意）根据各段首句及末句中的关键字迅速通读全文，从整体上把握文章大意，明确文章主题及结构层次。很多考生认为自己的英语基础水平较差，通读全文就是在浪费时间，不如直接做题，但是，通读全文能够帮助考生了解文章脉络，这对解答题目大有裨益。通读全文，即用较快的速度阅读全文，考生可采用跳读、略读等方式来了解文章大意，掌握文章内容。注意通读的时间不能太长，一般为1 分钟左右，最多不能超过1.5 分钟。此处以大学英语四级考试 2014 年 6 月（第 2 套）“选词填空”为例进行讲解。The fact is, the world has been finding less oil than it has been using for more thantwenty years now.
