本部分為一篇300~450詞的短文，文中有15處空白，每處空白給出了4個選項，要求應試者根據短文的內容從4個選項中選擇l個答案。
表面上來看，選擇填空就是要求考生把每個句子中刪掉的詞給恢復出來。實際上，它考查應試者能否正確把握文章內容的能力，以及對于一定語境中規(guī)范的語言成分的掌握。它不僅測試應試者在句子水平上運用語言的能力，它還測試應試者在語篇水平上綜合運用語言的能力。因為，選擇填空中的填空是與文章的上下文有緊密聯(lián)系的，不是孤立的、不相關的。因此，要做好選擇填空題，必須首先通讀整篇文章，弄清文章的大意和邏輯關系，根據空格所在句子的結構、語法、照應關系、語篇的組織結構等信息，通過邏輯推理和語用推理等手段最后確定答案。
