通过完形填空锻炼预测能力

在完形填空任务中，预测推理能力扮演着极其重要的角色。以下是该能力的三个关键环节：

1. 整体把握：帮助你从宏观上把握文章的主题、结构和逻辑关系，这对于正确选择词汇和短语至关重要。即便掌握了丰富的词汇和扎实的语法知识，如果不能理解段落的整体意思，也可能选错答案。

2. 推理判断：基于对上下文的理解，你可以进行合理的推测和判断。例如，在遇到不认识的单词或表达时，可以通过前后文提供的线索来推断其意义和用法，从而做出正确的选择。

3. 连贯性与一致性：上下文理解还涉及到确保所填入的内容与全文的风格、语气和信息一致。这有助于保持文本的连贯性和逻辑性，使得填充后的文章读起来自然流畅。
