点睛：（一）先读问题，弄清考查要点，以便能带着问题看文章，这样会心中有数，有的放矢。
(二)快速浏览全文，掌握全貌，注意发现与问题有关的信息，如果时间紧，至少要扫视一下起首段和尾段。再把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。此时，不要忙于答题。
(三)细读原文，捕捉相关信息词，掌握短文细节内容。这是解题的关键，应特别注意以下几点：
1. 抓住四个"W"和一个"H"，就是边读边用铅笔做些标记，把What (事件)，When(时间)，Where(地点)，Why(原因)，How(经过)划出来。抓住了四个“W”和一个“H”，就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。
2.抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等。因为这些词具有因果，让步，递进，转折，指代，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。这对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。
3. 注意领会文章的寓意。

【详解】句意：每天早晨大声朗读是提高英语水平的好方法。固定句式：it's a way to do sth“它是一个……的方法”，it作形式主语，用动词不定式to read aloud作真正的主语，故填It；to；read。
33．Cooking takes up my mum’s much time
【详解】根据所给标点可知，本句为陈述句。cooking为动名词作主语；takes up作谓语；my mum’s much time作宾语。故填Cooking takes up my mum’s much time“做饭占用了我妈妈很多时间”。
34． Should waste
【详解】句意：这个女孩不应该把钱浪费在无用的事情上。考查陈述句变一般疑问句。句中有情态动词should，变一般疑问句直接提前，首字母大写，填Should；情态动词后接动词原形，用waste。故填Should；waste。
