技巧一

完型在"填空"的时候，切忌用中文的"搭配"去感觉，也就是所谓三大出题技巧之一的"中文代入"。要思考英语的搭配，不要死记，要理解和搜集。

技巧二

首段首句不出题，是主旨句（2001年除外），除首句外基本每句话都要出题，首段首句没有读懂就不要做下去；

技巧三

考研完型填空里面名词、动词、形容词，这些实词的考点往往被给出明确的线索，存在于改填空的前后，对该填空进行前后联系(名词前面adj。后面从句;形容词前面adv。后面n.;动词前面主语后面宾语等等)指示，考生如果能够判断出前后的关键而又是少量的信息，可以保证题目做对

技巧四

如出现陌生的选项词汇，而我们又不认识的时候，这里注意，蒙也有技巧，一般来说选择相对简单的词汇，不要选择偏的怪的词汇。如第7小题，考查动词辨析，句意：水很清澈，看起来很适合喝。于是他把水瓶装满，拿给智者。A. threw扔；B. filled填满；C. got得到；D. opened打开。根据上文The water was very clear and looked fit to drink.可知下文是说他把水瓶装满水。根据题意，故选B。
