一、选词填空题的命题特点
选词填空相当于完形填空的一种变形，即将一篇短文中的若干个词抽出，要求考生在每个空格处填上一个词，使短文意思完整。该题型是对考生综合能力的考查，包括阅读理解能力、基础语法能力、单词拼写能力和语言表达能力等。通过观察近几年的中考题可以发现，选词填空的文章以记叙文和议论文为主，一般设10至12个空，每空一词。所填单词也以实词为主，兼顾虚词。其考点如下： 1. 考查词性、词形的转换。这一考点通常占较大比重，集中考查动词的时态及语态、形容词和副词的比较级和最高级、名词的单复数等知识点。这就要求考生首先要理解短文的主旨大意，弄清语法、句子的结构等问题。
2. 考查固定搭配。对于这类题目，我们平时要注重固定搭配的积累，比如习惯用语中的介词、固定句式中的连词等。
3. 考查关联词。关联词连接两个或更多的分句，体现了句子之间的关系。它们在句中虽不是主要成分，但起着衔接和连贯的作用。关联词的选择主要取决于考生对上下文的理解。
4. 考查推断能力。该考点侧重考查考生对整篇文章的把控能力，能根据已有的信息进行适当的推断，做出正确的判断。 二、选词填空题的解题步骤
1. 跳过空格，通读短文，了解大意。
在做题时，要跳过空格处，快速阅读全文，注意找出关键词，从整体上把握全文大意。要注重对短文首句的理解，善于以首句的时态、语气为立足点，理清
文脉，推测文章主题。
通过上下文的句子，充分理解短文的内容，注意发现固定搭配，凭借语感积极主动地猜测空格处所缺的信息，根据需要从备选词汇中寻找匹配的答案。 2. 精心解题，确定语意，边读边做。
认真复读短文，确定空格处所需词语的意义；再根据空格处在句中的位置，判断其在句中充当的成分，从而确定所填词的词性；然后依据词语搭配和语法规则，判断所填词的正确形式。做题时，要先易后难，首先选出那些根据上下文能确定的答案，比如固定词组、句型或常见的语法结构等。对于一时把握不准的空格，可以暂时放一放，把容易做的先做好。把所有能够确定的空格填完后，再通读全文，利用排除法等来确定把握不准的空格。答题过程中不要把注意力只集中在空格处，而忽略其与全句、全文的关系，适合单句的选择未必适合全文。所以，要注意单句与中心思想的关系，围绕中心思想确定答案。 3. 三读短文，上下参照，验证答案。
细读一遍完成的短文，从上下文内容是否协调一致、语法结构是否正确无误等进行综合验证，凡有疑问必须重新推敲考虑。 例如：
根据短文内容，从方框中选出恰当的单词或短语填空，使语意通顺完整。每个选项只能用一次，有两项剩余。
