如果你有60秒的时间填一个空格，你的时间分配是怎样的？

　　很多学生的情况是5秒钟看题，30秒看文章，找不到，再看题5秒，15秒再找，最后5秒填一个词／词组（求瞎填概率），最终的结果就是速度慢和正确率低。

　　想要拿稳填空题，首先要学会正确的时间分配，阅题的时间多于浏览文章（例如：30秒阅题，25秒浏览文章，5秒填词）；其次在阅题时要学会预判，苏州环球教育（原环球教育）姚雪老师以下面例子说明预判的必要性。

　　C4T4P2

　　Complete the summary of the last two paragraphs of Reading Passage 2

　　Much of the work of archaeologists can be done using written records but they find 24…… equally valuable. The writer describes archaeology as both a 25…… and a 26…… . However， as archaeologists do not try to influence human behaviour， the writer compares their style of working to that of a 27…… .

　　空24填一个和written records同等重要的词，常识判断能够和书面记录并列的最简单就是非书面记录，所以我们要找的是口头记录；

　　空25和26是并列，且都是可数名词单数，所有我们要找两个 a ；

　　空27也是一个可数单数名词，并且整句话是比较，稍微运用语法不难看出their指代archaeologists，that指代style of work-ing ，那么空格缺的只会是一个职业；

　　现在再回到原文，答案就很明显了：

　　A commonly drawn distinction is between pre-history， i.e. the period before written records -and history in the narrow sense， meaning the study of the past using written evidence. To archaeology， which studies all cultures and periods， whether with or without writing， the distinction between history and pre-history is a convenient divid-ing line that recognises the importance of the written word， but in no way lessens the importance of the useful information contained in oral histories.

　　Since the aim of archaeology is the understanding of humankind， it is a human-istic study， and since it deals with the human past， it is a historical discipline. But it differs from the study of written history in a fundamental way. The material the ar-chaeologist finds does not tell us directly what to think. Historical records make statements， offer opinions and pass judgements. The objects the archaeologists dis-cover， on the other hand， tell us nothing directly in themselves. In this respect， the practice of the archaeologist is rather like that of the scientist， who collects da-ta， conducts experiments， formulates a hypothesis， tests the hypothesis against more data， and then， in conclusion， devises a model that seems best to summa-rise the pattern observed in the data. The archaeologist has to develop a picture of the past， just as the scientist has to develop a coherent view of the natural world.

　　基本的预判内容包括：词性（若是名词：单复数／是否可数；若是动词：是否为三单）、褒贬义、是否为专有名词（地名／人名／职业／植物／动物）、特殊结构。

　　各举一个例子：

　　C5T4R3

　　34.Day length is a useful cue for breeding in areas where ________ are unpredictable.

　　可数名词复数

　　39.There is no limit to the photosynthetic rate in plants such as __________.

　　植物

　　C4T4R1

　　9.Yessis links inadequate diet to_________.

　　贬义名词

　　C7T4R1

　　The Egyptians had 8_______ , which could lift large pieces of 9 _________and they knew how to use the energy of the wind from their skill as 10__________.

　　空10：职业

　　C8T2R3

　　40. Odours regarded as unpleasant in certain ____________ are not regarded as

　　unpleasant in others

　　certain=some, some…others…的结构

　　预判的目的是更快更精准的找到答案，而前提是我们具备基础的词汇和语法。
