新课标高考考试英语语法填空题设空设空大致有如下特征：
无提示词一般考查：冠词、介词、连词、代词、助动词、固定搭配等
有提示词一般考查：谓语动词、非谓语动词、形容词、副词、名词等。
具体方案：
(一)、给出动词基本形态，填写词性词形转化(转为名词、形容词)，或填写谓语部分，或是填写非谓语动词；
(二)、给出词汇，词性的变化，如名词、动词、形容词、副词之间的转化，名词的复数形式，给出形容词，需要填写比较级、最高级，或词性词形转化，转化为副词，或是填写反义词(前缀)；
(三)、给出副词，填写比较级、最高级，或是填写反义词；
(四)、不给词汇填写限定词的时候，非常可能是填冠词、人称代词主格宾格形式，物主代词、反身代词的单复数形式。形容词性物主代词或some、any、other、another等限定词；有些名词前有限定词，譬如：序数词，形容词的最高级等，其前用定冠词。
高考考试英语语法填空不给提示词范例：
例：The adobe dwellings built by the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest are admired by even ______ most modern of architects and engineers.
答案与剖析：the。这里名词由形容词的最高级修饰，因此用定冠词。
例：He owned ______ farm, which looked almost abandoned.
答案与剖析：a。名词farm前应该有冠词，由于在文章中首次出现，所以用不定冠词。
例：After the student left, the teacher let ______ student taste the water.
答案与剖析：another。上文谈到一个学生让老师品尝他从沙漠里带了来的泉水，当那个学生离开后，老师让另一个学生品尝这泉水的味道。依据语境这里填写限定词another。
例：Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said ______ was a wonderful holiday destination.
答案与剖析：it。第二个句子中的宾语从句缺主语，这里it代替前文提到过的Miami。
例：For those who fly to Guilin, its only an hour away ______ car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.
答案与剖析：by
例：There were many people waiting at the bus sTOP, ______ some of them looked very anxious and disappointed.
答案与剖析：and。There were many people waiting at the bus sTOP是个完整的句子，some of them looked very anxious and disappointed.也是个完整的句子，两句之间是并列关系。
例：______he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was
wrong.
答案与剖析：Although/Though。这里有两个句子，______ he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back和he was wrong.，且两个句子之间没分号或句号，依据句意可知，第一个句子是让步状语从句。
例：As natural architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly ______ thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.
答案与剖析：how。由于...the Pueblo Indians figured out和...the adobe walls needed to be...是两套主谓关系，即两个句子，它们之间没句号或分号，空格处一定是填连词；依据句意，确定填写连词how。
例：I didnt understand ______ this would happen and my credit card had already been charged for the reservation.
答案与剖析：why
例：Id skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain TOPs and dark waters of the Li River ______ are pictured by artists in so many Chinese paintings.

高考考试英语语法填空有提示词范例：
例：Id skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain TOPs and dark waters of the Li River that are pictured by artists in so many Chinese ______ (painting).

例：While there are amazing stories of instant transformation, for most of us the ______ (change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. 答案与剖析：changes。该词后面的动词是复数形式，因此change用复数形式。

例：This cycle ______ (go) day after day: The walls warm up during the day and cool off during the night and are thus always a timely offset(抵消) for the outside temperatures.
答案与剖析：goes。依据句中的时间状语day after day和后面的句子中用的时态，可以确定该动词用一般目前时态形式，主语是单数，因此动词用数三人称单数形式。
例：It was raining lightly when I ______ (arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn.
答案与剖析：arrived。所给动词arrive前是代词I，这里应该是谓语动词，由于主句的时态是过去时态，因此这里用过去时态。
例：When a new day breaks, the walls have given up their heat and are now cold enough ______ (cool) the house during the hot day; at the same time, they warm up again for the night.
答案与剖析to cool

例：He spit it out, ______ (say) it was awful.
