第一项法宝是定位词。虽然有时instruction中会告诉考试出题段落，但是大多数时候instruction并没有那么“友好”，所以大部分情况下还是需要我们去分析summary的第一句话，或者是第一个空格前的句子，找到定位词，作为快速阅读的基准，然后到文章中找到相应的出题段落。定位词的选择多以名词为主，因为名词相对与动词、形容词和副词来说变化形式最少的，而且名词中包括人名，地名，机构名，时间，日期，这些都是相对来说EYE-CATCHING的词，能比较快的在文章中找到。
例如Also, an older program knows as was introduced at SAH.
这时候的定位词的首选是SAH，但是如果SAH在文章中出现次数很多，那么它就不具有定位词的独特性了，这时候我们还是可以选择另外一个名词，只是需要加上一个简单的限定，older program。
第二项法宝是空格分析。当定位到某段文章后，对于只填2-3个词的空格来说范围还是过大，那么如果要再缩小范围，审题时的空格分析就会起到不可忽视的作用。空格分析首先要分析的是空格的词性，是动词，名词还是形容词。如果分析出来是名词，那么就要看看是单数还是复数形式的名词；如果是动词的话就要看看是否是第三人称单数需要加S。而且有的时候空格前后的句子或词语也会给答案的范围再次进行一次限定。
例如：In the first strategy, wards with the lowest absenteeism in different periods would win prizes donated by
这句话的空格首先可以分析出来应该填的是一个名词，然后看空格前的那个动词donated，donate的意思是捐赠，捐献，一般来说能够捐赠或捐献的要不就是有钱的人，要么就是某个机构，所以可以确定这个空格中要填的内容不是机构名就是人名，而他们都是大写字母开头的。
又如：In 1774, He took on a number of , who stood at a long central desk….
这个空格也可以首先分析出来填的是名词，然后由“a number of ”可以判断出这个名词应该是复数形式，最后，看到空格后面的一个定语从句用“who”来引导，所以可以得出结论，这个空格填的应该是某一类人，而且是复数。
第三项法宝是关系词。关系词就是句子和句子，或者句子内部连接的关系，常在summary中考到的是并列关系，比较关系和因果关系。并列关系的连接词是and, as well等，尤其是and用的更多。比较关系常见的连接词为than，compare to等。如果一个空格前用的是并列关系或是比较关系的话，我们可以确定的是所要填的词和关系词前的那个词词性应该是一样的，而且词义是属于同一个类别的。因为只有相同词性，相同的类别才有可并列性和可比性。例如：The use of persistent chipping was also widespread in Europe and among other peoples such as the Chinese and 这个空格前是并列结构
真题演练
Others feel there is more of a case for the theory. Harnessing the wind would not have been a problem for accomplished sailors like the Egyptians. And they are known to have used wooden pulleys, which could have been made strong enough to bear the weight of massive blocks of stone. In addition, there is some physical evidence that the ancient Egyptians were interested in flight. A wooden artefact found on the step pyramid at Saqqara looks uncannily like a modern glider. Although it dates from several hundred years after the building of the pyramids, its sophistication suggests that the Egyptians might have been developing ideas of flight for a long time. And other ancient civilisations certainly knew about kites; as early as 1250 BC, the Chinese were using them to deliver messages and dump flaming debris on their foes.
