“語法填空”從樣題的命題形式來看，“語法填空”題仍屬于國(guó)外一直使用的一種完形填空題，在國(guó)內(nèi)的傳統(tǒng)練習(xí)和測(cè)試中也很常見。一般認(rèn)為，這種不提供選擇項(xiàng)的“語法填空”題比這些年來高考采用的提供選擇項(xiàng)的完形填空題的難度略大。但也有人認(rèn)為，這種無選擇項(xiàng)“語法填空”題由于沒有干擾項(xiàng)反倒有利于考生更好地發(fā)揮其英語水平。
解“語法填空”題的一般步驟是：
一、瀏覽全文 把握語篇
瀏覽全文的目的是把握其大意，為下一步“填空”做好“語義”上的準(zhǔn)備，因?yàn)椤罢Z義”決定著空白處應(yīng)填一個(gè)什么意思的詞語并采用什么樣的語法形式。在通讀全文的過程中，為較好地把握其大意，很有必要弄清該文的體裁、題材（語題）、中心思想、寫作主線、段落大意、段落層次等。這些有利于考生真正讀懂全文大意，也有利于在“填空”時(shí)進(jìn)行必要的邏輯推理。
二、邊讀邊填 先易后難
在通讀全文，基本了解文章大意之后，就可以動(dòng)手填空了。填空的過程是一個(gè)判斷空白處應(yīng)填詞語的“語義”（已給出詞語的除外）和正確的語法“形式”的思維過程。遇到一時(shí)想不起來的空，先跳過去，等檢查時(shí)再仔細(xì)對(duì)付，不要用太多的時(shí)間停留在一個(gè)單詞上。
三、驗(yàn)證復(fù)查 清除難點(diǎn)
有時(shí)間的話，進(jìn)行復(fù)查是必要的。復(fù)查的方法是：將所有答案“填進(jìn)”短文并進(jìn)行通讀，以最后確定答案。
另外，一題多解也是此種題型常遇到的問題之一。
