摘要： 短文填空是中考英语试卷最难题目之一，它的分值是15分，分为10个小题，每小题1.5分，占整份英语试题分值的12.5%(15/120)。短文填空一般在一篇200~250字左右的故事性短文中挖出1 根据短语，句型以及习惯用语的常用搭配来填词的方法。如：
【典例】 With the environment becoming worse and worse, more and more people realize the importance of protecting the environment. But there are still some people paying less (1) to it. They are still doing something harmful to the environment.Last Sunday I went to the Plant Garden to enjoy (2) . When I stepped into the gate of the garden, I felt comfortable at first because I could breathe the fresh air and enjoy the beautiful flowers and trees.
But to my (3) , I saw a man lying in a sleep net hanging (4) two trees. I thought this kind of behavior would hurt the trees. How could he make money by hurting the trees like this? Without trees, how could we get the fresh air? I don’t know how to express my anger. I think (5) is our duty to protect the environment. So something must be done to stop this kind of behavior.
【分析】：
(1)A. 寻找搭配：从空格前后我们可寻到短语搭配：“pay attention to”。B. 判定答案：由搭配可知，此处填attention一词。C. 检查复核：attention代入后，意思通顺，符合逻辑，且attention是不可数名词，不用+s。
(2)A. 寻找搭配：从空格前我们可寻到短语搭配：“enjoy oneself”。B. 判定答案：由搭配可知，此处缺了oneself一词。前面是I，所以此处填myself。C. 检查复核：myself代入后，意思通顺，符合逻辑，且myself没有词形变化。
