上海市中考英语首字母填空练习首字母填空类短文题是近几年各省、市中考题经常采用的题型之一，这种题难度相对较大，考生失分现象很严重。

主观型首字母填空也称为限制型完形填空。

它的特点是将一篇文章中若干个词“掏空”，留下该词的首字母，它既作为提示又作为限制，让我们根据短文的意思把单词拼写完整，使文章连贯。

学生们在通读全文、掌握大意的前提下，采用先易后难，再逐项填空的应试策略。

做题时要通过字里行间来捕捉信息，既要理清逻辑，又要综合考虑，最后通过复读全文来消除疏漏。

给首字母填空类短文的阅读题属于能力测试的范畴，它考查的范围极广，可以是英语知识的方方面面，还可能涉及其它学科。

它要求考生在充分理解短文的基础上将单词拼写出来，并且单词形式合理，符合语法规范，符合短文需要。

下面就讲一讲做这类题的方法与技巧：1. 通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样，首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。

每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。

因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。

因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。

2. 复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。

在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。

在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。

另外，要学会跳读，即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。

有些短文填空题，有时出现约3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的词义。

3. 反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲技巧再次通读短文，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。

这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词的正确形式。

4. 认真复查全文，把握整体和词形做完以后，再认真读一遍，检查所填写的单词是否与文章要求相符，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无句型结构及语法错误。

从实际中看，很多学生能够充分利用词首字母和短文内容填写单词，但是，问题往往出现在单词的形式变化上。

比如填q ，要求填写quickly ，而多数考生只知道填写quick ，忽略了词性问题。

因此，深思熟虑很重要。

通过以上对首字母填空类型题的讲解，同学们一定对这类题型有了更多的了解，掌握了此类题的考点和做题的技巧后，给同学们准备了以下的练习题，请同学们及时巩固学习内容。

Last month he went to New York, U.S.A. He couldn't go anywhere alone because he didn't understand people there. 所谓有因必有果，如果读完以上三句句子，我们不难发现后面两句是第一句的因，从后两句来看，上个月他去了美国纽约（去干吗呢？）。
