【纯空格题的解题技巧】
是指“在空格处填入一个适当的词”这类题。这类题通常只考代词、冠词、关联词和介词。那么什么情况下填代词？何时填冠词？何时填关联词？何时填介词呢？
一
1.… although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while，she knew that this was a present which was bound to please _____.him
him 及物动词please(使……高兴)后缺宾语，应填代词；由语境和常识可知，给父亲买礼物，应是使父亲高兴，故填宾格人称代词him。
2. Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult ___was to choose a suitable Christmas it present for her father.
it 动词was的前面显然缺主语，应填代词；由句式结构可知，填it，在宾语从句中作形式主语，真正的主语是to choose…。
3.It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty(960—1279)was very anxious to help his rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about ____day it and night.
it 介词about后缺宾语，应填代词；由句意或前后逻辑可知，应填it，指代前文中的(how) to help his crop grow up quickly。
4. I wanted to reward the old woman for the trouble I had caused ____ . her
her 因(that) I had caused是定语从句，先行词是trouble，代表先行词的关系代词that在从句中作宾语，被省略了；由搭配 cause sb. trouble(=cause trouble for sb.给某人造成麻烦)可知，填宾语人称代词her，指代the old woman。
【备考策略】
当句子缺主语或宾语时，填代词。
因为充当主语或宾语的应是名词或代词，而在语法填空的纯空格中一般不要求考生填名词，所以只要句子缺主语或宾语，就该填代词。
此时，要根据前后语境，看该空格是指人还是事物，指男还是指女，是单数还是复数。除人称代词外，也有可能是填不定代词等。还有可能是填作形式主语或形式宾语的 ____ (it 如第2题),替代后面作真正的主语或宾语的不定式、动名词或从句。
二
1.Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not ___ pleasant experiencea：people stepped on your feet
a 句中experience意为“经历”，是可数名词；作表语的名词experience前应填限定词；由冒号之后的内容可知，一年的这个时候去购物并不是一次愉快的经历，表示“一次”用不定冠词，故填a。
2. It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty(960—1279)was very anxious to help ____ rice crop grow up his quickly.
his 在作宾语的名词前, 应当填限定词; 由句意和常识可知, 这个急性子人急于使 “他自己的”禾苗长得快，故填形容词性物主代词his。
3.…the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to ___ small a town some 20 kilometres away where there was a garage.
a 作宾语的名词small town前应填限定语；
由句意可知，此处指将车拉到离那里大约有20公里远的“一个小镇”去修，表示 “一个”，用不定冠词，small以辅音开头，故填a。
4.I had noticed three hens running free in my hostess’s courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table.
___________ villagers brought me goat’s Other/Some cheese and honey.
Other/Some 作主语的名词villagers前应填限定词；相对招呼“我”在她家吃住的那个old peasant woman，拿goat’s cheese and honey来同“我”饮酒聊天的应是“其他的(Other)” 村民，或者理解为“有些(Some)”村民。
【备考策略】
在作主语、____宾 语或 ____表 语的名词或“形容词+ 名词”前，填限定词。
限定词是指冠词、形容词性物主代词，或可以作定语的不定代词等。此时，要根据句子的意思来确定空格的语境意义，由此来判断具体填什么词。如表示特指，大体相当于“这、这些、那、那些”时用___________定冠词the ；表示“一(个，本,座……)”时用不定冠词a或an；表示“某人的”，用__________________形容词性物主代词；表示“一些” 用some，表示“另一个”用another，表示“其他的”用other等。
三
1.She found some good quality pipes ____ on sale.
on 名词sale在句中不作主语，也不作动词的宾语，就应是作介词的宾语，空格处应填介词；因表示“出售”的on sale是固定搭配，故填on。
2.When Jane got home，with her small but well-chosen present in her bag， her parents were already ___ table having at supper.
at 名词(table)在句中不作主语，也不作动词的宾语, 就应是作介词的宾语; 由having supper可知，填at；因为at table表示“在餐桌边，在进餐”，也是习惯搭配。
3.Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. __________ these proverbs there are Behind/In often interesting stories.
Behind/In 因名词these proverbs在句中不是作主语，也不是作动词的宾语，应当是作介词的宾语，即空格处应填介词；由表示存在的句型可知，应当是指在某个地方或某个时间存在,此处应是指“在中国的这些成语故事的背后 / 里面” 常常有有趣的故事，故填介词Behind或In。注意，在句首，要大写首字母。
4.He was very tired __________ doing this after/from for a whole day, but he felt very happy.
after/from 因动名词短语doing this不是作主语，也不是作动词的宾语，应是作介词的宾语，即空格处应填介词；又因“他感到很累”应是“在他做了一整天事之后”，表示“在……之后”，用介词after；另外 be tired from doing(因做某事而累)是固定搭配，故也可填from。
5.I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me were arguing as to who should have the honour of receiving me ___ a guest in their house.as
as 因名词a guest在句中不作主语，也不作动词的宾语，可推断是作介词的宾语, 应填一个介词; 又由句意“把我当作客人来接待(receive sb. as…)”，可知填介词as。
6.When the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village， I wanted to reward the old woman _____ the for trouble I had caused her.
for 因名词the trouble在句中不作主语，也不作动词的宾语，应当是作介词的宾语；表示“因……而酬谢 / 报答某人”是 reward sb. for sth.，故填for。
【备考策略】
当空格后的名词、代词或动名词不是作主语、表语，也不是作动词的____宾 语时，填 ___ 介词。
因为名词和代词最典型的用法是作主语或宾语，既然不作主语和动词的宾语，就应是作介词的宾语了，所以要填介词。具体填什么介词，由介词与该名词的搭配及其意义(如上述题 1～3)来决定，也可能是由动词或谓语与介词的句式搭配(如上述4～6题)来决定。
四
1.____he thought he could escape attention If by sitting at the back, he was wrong.
If 因he thought…与he was wrong是两个句子，且两者之间没有关联词，必定是填关联词；根据两句之间的逻辑关系，应填表示条件的If。意为“要是他想坐后排可以逃避老师注意，那他就错了”。
2.My friends walked me to the bus stop and waited with me _____ the bus arrived.until
until 空格前后都是句子且这两个句子之间没有关联词，应填关联词；由两句之间的逻辑关系可知，是“等到车来”，表示 “直到”用until，引导时间状语从句。
3.Behind him were other people to _______ he was trying to talkwhom ，…
whom 空格前后都是句子且这两个句子之间没有关联词，应填关联词；后面一句应当这样理解he was trying to talk to the people, 可见, 后面一句是定语从句，先行词是people, 直接在介词后应用关系代词 whom引导定语从句。
4.Jane paused in front of a counter _____ where some attractive ties were on display.
where 因空格前后都是句子，且这两句之间没有关联词，必定是填关联词；由句意和逻辑可知，“陈列引人注目的领带”应是在“柜台”里，因此，a counter是先行词，其后是定语从句，要填的词在从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where。
5.One day， he came up with an idea _____ he would pluck up all of his crop a that few inches.
that 空格前后都是句子且这两个句子之间没有关联词，应填关联词；由前后的意义关系可知,空格后是同位语从句, 说明idea的具体内容；名词性从句的结构和意义已非常完整，故用that引导。
6.He was very tired after doing this for a whole day，____ he felt very happy since but the crop did “grow” higher.
but 空格前后都是句子且这两句之间没有关联词，应填关联词；又因后句的he felt very happy与前句的He was very tired是转折关系，故填but。
【备考策略】
当空格前后都是句子(一个主谓关系算一个句子)，且这两个句子之间没有关联词时（两句之间是逗号或无标点），填________关联词；若并列的两个或几个单词或短语之间没有连词，填表示联合、选择、转折等意义的并列连词。
具体填哪个关联词，由两个或几个单词、短语或句子之间的逻辑关系来决定。若是句子与句子之间，还要分析整个句子的结构，分清主句与从句，弄清从句在整个句子中作何种成分，确定从句类型(在整个句子中作主语、宾语、表语、同位语就是________名词性 从句；作定语叫定语从句；表示时间、地点、原因、条件、结果等的从句叫______状语 从句)，以及引导该类从句的关联词的使用特点(如引导定语从句的关联词一定是代表先行词并在从句中作句子成分的；引导名词性从句的关联词，that没有任何意思也不作任何句子成分，即句子结构和意
思完整时即填_______that ，而if或whether有“是否” 之意但不作句子成分，who，whom， which, when， where， how等则有意思也作句子成分) 来决定。
五
1.Listen to these words from Darwin P. Kingsley： “You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you ______ do. could There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations of your own mind.”
could 因空格后的do是原形，而thought是一般过去时，所以空格处应当是填情态助动词；又由前面You can do things和后文的you can do可以提到启示，此处也填can，只不过用其过去式
(由thought可知)，故填could。句意是“你能做你(以前)从未想到过你能做的事”。
2.I explained that while I didn’t carry any cash, I _____ happen to have a new did blanket, and asked him if he could use it. He was thrilled.
did 因谓语动词happen是原形，而前后语境的谓语动词都是过去式，时态不一致，所以此处应填情态动词或助动词；由句意“我解释说，虽然我没有带现金，但我的确恰好有一张新毯子”，故填助动词did，对谓语动词进行强调。
3.What’s amazing is that Pluto_______ can/does understand everything dad says. Their communication is as near to being perfect as possible…Each seems to know what the other needs at any time. Never once ______ I heard have anyone shout at Pluto or even raise their voices. 因主语是第三人称单数，而前一空后是却是动词原形，根据语境是一般现在时，可见此空必
定填情态动词can(能够)，或者填助动词does(真的, 的确), 强调understand。后一空, 该句以否定词never开头, 用部分倒装; 又由语境和never 可知，谓语动词应用现在完成时，故填have。
4.Once when I returned from a Saturday baseball game，___ was Steve who took it the time to ask me what happened.
由句子结构可知，填it构成强调句型。
5. In fact, micro blog itself is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it ______ matters. We should take the that advantages and avoid some bad effects.
与前面的it is构成强调结构。
【备考策略】
(1)若句子结构较完整，空格后的谓语动词是原形，特别是与上下文时态不一致或主谓不一致时，很可能是填______情态 动词，或强调______谓语 的 do，does， did，或构成部分倒装的助动词do， does，did等(如上述1～2题)。
(2)还要注意有可能是部分倒装，填助动词have，
has，had与主语后的过去分词以构成完成时(如上述第3题)。(3)填it或that，以构成it is/was…that/who…这个强调句型(如上述4～5题)。
