英语语言点自主训练“四步曲”
英语语言点训练是属于基础知识的重要组成部分，在一般情况下，都是由老师来设计和组织训练的。但对于一个基础较好的学生来说，是完全可以通过自主设计和训练来完成的。下面通过一段文章来举例说明如何运用“四步曲”来实现自我训练。这“四步曲”就是一划、二挖、三填、四读。
一划：在原文中就某些知识点划线。划线部分通常是动词时态、语态、语气、主谓一致、非谓语动词（to do/doing/done）名词性从句、状语从句中的连词、定语从句中的关系代词和关系副词、动词短语、介词、某些重点句型结构中的关键词（见下文划线部分）However,it was not until the eightteen and nineteenth centuries that the exploration of the botanical world began on a large scale.Europe had become interested in scientific discovery and the European middle claes took great interest in collecting new plants.This attraction to exotic
plants grew as European nations,like the Netherlands,Britain and Spain,moved into other parts of the world like Asia and Australia.Brave young men took the great opportunity of going on botanical expeditions,often facing many dangers including disease,near-stavation,severe environments and conflicts with the local people.二挖：把划线部分挖空变成填空题
However,it_____ was not _until___the eightteen and nineteenth centuries that the exploration of the botanical world began on a large scale.Europe had
become_interested__(interest) in scientific discovery and the European middle claes _took___great interest in collecting new plants.This
attraction _to__exotic plants grew _as_European nations,like____ the Netherlands,Britain and Spain,_moved____ (move)into other parts of the
world like____ Asia and Australia.Brave young men ___took__the great opportunity of going on botanical expeditions,oftenfacing_____(face)many dangers including disease,near-stavation,severe environments and conflicts with___ the local people.
三填：在原文基础上还原填空
四读：在还原填空后，反复朗读原文，形成语感，直到脱口而出。
这种自主设计练习模式适用于高中各个年级，而且原材料就直接取自于教材，所以是一种实用而又有效的练习方式。如果能坚持用这种方法来训练的话，对完形填空特别有帮助。另外，对书面表达也有重要的迁移作用。
