第一，快速通读全文，了解文章主旨：Maria — small mountain village — to school — didn’t go to high school — work — USA — far away — didn’t know English — study English very hard — speak English very well — studying typing — have a good future in the 10 country.
把握文章语境，顺藤摸瓜。读后作出分析：女孩，家境贫寒（穷），美国，远离故土，语言不通，发奋学习，打字，憧憬未来。

She 1 to school — 2 she didn’t go to high school.分析：前句肯定，后句否定，关联词含转折之意，故空题2应选A. But。不选However的原因是However要用逗号隔开。When she 4 in the USA with her family，分析：举家赴美，到达某地的词组有got to，reached，arrived at / in，moved to+地点，故空题4选arrived。
先做最有把握、最熟悉的短语、惯用法、动词形式和其他语言结构的题目，在没有弄懂的情况下切不可自行断意。
第三，抓住文章的内在逻辑，调动生活经验，凭借句型结构、习惯用语、语法常识进行推断猜想。
She missed her friends in her hometown far away 5 the big city.因为远离，所以思念。根据词组far away from 可以找到答案。空5为from。
and now she is studying typing, she wants 9 a typist（打字员），从词组搭配want to do和want to be可以分析：想当/成为打字员是一种职业，故应用want to be a typist；而想打字应该写为want to type。想在他乡打拼憧憬自己的美好未来，他乡对于远离故乡的人就是一个新的世界。She hopes she will have a good future in the 10 country. 故空10可以推断为new。
第四，集中精力，突破难点。反复琢磨，照顾整体，联系上下文，排除明显错误，缩小选择范围，得出最佳答案。
At first she didn’t know English 6 . She began to study English very hard，初赴美国，语言不通，刻苦学习。难点是didn’t know English 6 . 推断出一点也不懂英语。排除A，B，C答案。（A. a bit，修饰形容词和副词，放在形容词、副词之前，不符合题意。B. a little，修饰形容词、副词和不可数名词，也可以修饰动词，放在动词词组之后和句末，not ...a little 含义为不是一点，而是很多，也不符合题意。C. a lot，与答案很接近，易于混淆，如果选用，At first she didn’t know English a lot. 则含有肯定之意，而短文含义倾向否定，指“根本不懂英语，一点也不懂英语”，则C又排除）答案选D. at all, didn’t know English at all，含义符合题意。
After a long time of hard work Maria 7 able to speak English very well. She didn’t stop 8 English at night, 通过艰苦努力，英语能够讲得好。应用过去时态，因而答案只能在B. could与C. was之中选择。而could之后应接动词原形，所以答案选C，was able to speak English very well.符合题意。
第八空指继续不停地在夜晚学英语（做同一件事）。只要区别stop to do （停下来做别的事）与 stop doing （停止正在做的那一件事），答案D. studying便确定无疑。
第五，选答完毕，再读全文，核实语言是否流畅、脉络是否贯通、看人称与数是否一致、动词时态是否准确、短语搭配是否得当、疑难之处是否清晰、情节发展是否合理等项目。
