考研英语做题技巧
1、浏览选项。浏览选项说的直白些，就是找选项的第一句话，抓关键句中的主题词。这些主题词的词性多以名词、动词为特点。尤其要注意其中的专属名词和标志词。如人名、地名、连接词、数字等。通过这些词我们往往能反推出文章里应该有的内容，如果能找到这样的内容，答案就会十分清楚。因此我们建议大家在浏览选项时，将主题词和信号词找出并划记下来，然后再向下做题。
2、重点排查。有些题目，在看第一遍时，就可以凭知识、阅历选出答案。然后在接下来的题目当中，我们就可以按顺序做题了。你需要重点注意剩下的空格前后都有什么：如果是补充段落，则可能前后都要看;如果要补充的是段首句或小标题，则重点看空格后面;如果补充段尾句或小标题下面的内容，则重点看空格前面。那些有词汇复现的选项要么就是正确答案，要么就是干扰选项。
3、找突破口。一般的选项都会有主题词，但不一定有信号词，所以有信号词的选项往往就是突破口。
4、核实答案。在做完后，要进一步阅读整篇文章。以便检查文章的完整性和逻辑性。完整性和逻辑性较好，则说明答案正确率较高，反之则较低。总言之，整体阅读也是一种重要的解题技巧。
