“首字母填詞”是根據(jù)句意和已給的首字母，在句子的空白處填上適當?shù)膯卧~，使句子意思完整、語法正確的一種題型。該題型既考查學生的單詞記憶和拼寫能力，又考查學生對句子的理解和運用能力。做好這類題，主要從以下幾個方面入手。

1． 通讀全句，把握句意。只有文章意思清楚了，才可能根據(jù)文意進行合理的判斷，從而有可能突然產(chǎn)生“靈感”，將斷層點的意義信息比較準確地反映出來。

2． 注意精讀，反復琢磨。做這類題，有的可根據(jù)固定用法來判斷，有的可通過上下文意思判斷。遇到難詞時，就抓住空詞句及其前后的句子反復推敲、再三琢磨該詞在句中的作用，由此判斷出該詞的意義。

3． 把握詞義，填寫準確。這里的“準確”應包括：1)符合要求。即所填單詞必須以規(guī)定字母開頭。2)符合意思。既符合整篇文章的基調，更符合所在句子的含義，不可出現(xiàn)意義斷層，說東道西的情況。3)符合語法。意義相符了，單詞選準了，還要注意所填單詞是否要作詞形變化：如名詞是否要用復數(shù)形式，形容詞是否要用比較級，動詞是否要變時態(tài)等。

4． 復讀全文，驗證答案?？此顔卧~是不是最佳單詞，拼寫是否準確無誤，詞形是否要作必要的變化，短文是否前后連貫一致，情節(jié)發(fā)展是否合理，議論是否合乎邏輯等。

[實題分析] 根據(jù)短文內容及首字母提示，寫出所缺單詞，補全短文，使短文完整通順。

George and his wife were looking around for a bigger house. The first place they saw was a bit f__1__ from their office. It would take much time to go to work. The second place was larger b__2__ didnt have a garden. Then they visited a t__3__and a fourth places. Both were too expensive. They n__4__lost hope.

Yesterday they f__5__ a less expensive house—a four-bedroomed house with a little lawn at the front. It was just what the children n__6__. But some of the roofs and walls were b__7__. George needed much money to r__8__the house.

So George asked his father to lend him some money. Georges father wasnt sure if his son would be a__9__to return the money. He thought for a while, then he said, “You grew up w__10__ a garden. I dont think its a must for the children to play in a garden.”

[試題解碼]通讀全文，可以了解到本文講述的是George一家找一套大房子的選房過程。

1. 從后面句子中的take much time to go to work可知應填far，far from意為“遠離”。

2. 該空前后兩部分具有轉折意義，應填一個轉折連詞，but既符合首字母要求，又表示轉折意義，所以填but。

3. 從后面的a fourth可得出此處應填third。

4. George夫婦在看了四個地方后，都不滿意，可知他們幾乎失去了希望，所以應填nearly。

5. 從句意可知他們找到了一處較為便宜的房子，所以確定應填find，再根據(jù)全文的時態(tài)，得出應填found。

6. 從句意可知這塊草地正是孩子們需要的，所以應填needed。

7. 此處所填的單詞應該和后一句連起來看，此句的開頭是一個but，可知房子雖好，但房頂和墻壁有問題。后一句說George需要很多錢。根據(jù)首字母可知是房子有破損，所以應填broken。

8. 房頂和墻壁有破損，自然是需要修補，所以應填repair。

9. 根據(jù)句意可知George的父親是在猶豫George能否還了錢，be able to意為“能夠做……”，所以應填able。

10. 根據(jù)上下文得出，父親不想給George借錢，因此把George小時候沒有在花園玩兒，也長大了作為借口，所以應填without。
