很多人看到學測的「文意選填」就直接放棄，畢竟這種字數超多的填充題，讓人一看就軟腳，裡面又一大堆生字，應考的人哪有時間去思考要怎麼解題啊。
其實，重點在於「詞性」！只要能夠搞懂名詞、動詞、形容詞、副詞、介系詞、連接詞等基本詞性，就能至少拿下一半的分數。
以下為解題步驟：
1. 先看題目下方的單字，去分析他們的詞性，請注意以下的字。
→ -ing結尾的字可以當形容詞（現在分詞當形容詞用，放在be動詞後面）也可以當名詞（動名詞當名詞用）。
→ -ed結尾的字則可以當一般規則動詞的過去式，也可以當形容詞（過去分詞當形容詞用，放在be動詞後面，多為被動式）。
→ -s結尾的字，除了當複數名詞之外，也有可能是第三人稱單數的動詞型態。
2. 接下來就分析文章裡面的空格，以句子為單位，去看句子裡面少了什麼詞，就填什麼詞進去。
兩個最常用到的句子結構是：
→主／名詞＋動詞＋受／名詞
→主／名詞＋be動詞＋形容詞
3. 如果還不確定，我們分得更細一點，以格子前後來判定，以下為參考的方向。
→名詞前面有空格，就填入形容詞（adj, -ing，偶爾會有-ed）或是動詞（這時候名詞是句子裡面的受詞）。
→be動詞後面有空格，就填入形容詞（adj, -ed, -ing等）。
→名詞是主詞時，後面若有空格，就填入動詞（原型v, -s, -ed等）。
→介系詞後面放名詞。
→當然也會有例外，這就要看本身的程度了。
4. 如果有些空格很難選答案，就找對比（快／慢、過去／現在、男／女、貧／富、好／壞或其他二元對立）和資訊（人名／地名／時間等）。不要理會不懂的字。
「文意選填」也不過就這樣子，真的很簡單。作答過程不要想太多，遇到不會的字也不要太緊張，只要努力推理，找出每個句子缺少的詞性就好！
接下來，我們就直接單挑98年學測的「文意選填」吧，我已經把提示部份寫在旁邊了，就跟著練習、推理看看吧。
Familiar fables can be narrated differently or extended in interesting and humorous ways. The end of the famous fable of “The Tortoise and the Hare” is well known to all: the tortoise wins the race against the hare. The moral lesson is that slow and steady wins the race. We all have grown up with this popular version, but the (31，主詞前加形容詞，又可參考相對資訊：同／異) fable can be extended with different twists. At the request of the hare, a second race is (32，形容詞，判定為被動式) and this time, the hare runs without taking a rest and wins. The moral lesson is that (33，and會連結相同詞性，此處選和consistent成組的形容詞) and consistent will always beat slow and steady. Then, it is the tortoise that (34，that後接動詞) the hare to a third race along a different route in which there is a river just before the final destination. This time, the tortoise wins the race because the hare cannot swim. The moral lesson is “First (35，副詞後面加動詞) your strengths(受詞), and then change the playing field to suit them.”
But the story continues. Both (36，形容詞後面放名詞) know their own drawbacks and limitations very well; therefore, they jointly decide to have one last race－not to decide who the winner or loser is, but just for their own pleasure and satisfaction. The two (37，少動詞) as a team. Firstly, the hare carries the tortoise on its back to the river. Then, the tortoise carries the hare and swims to the (38，名詞前面放形容詞) bank of the river. Lastly, the hare carries the tortoise again on its back. Thus they reach the (39，名詞前面放形容詞) line together. Overall, many moral lessons from the last match are highlighted. The most obvious one is the importance of (40，介系詞後面放名詞). Another moral which also means a great deal is “competition against situations rather than against rivals.”
(A)arranged → 動詞（過去式）、形容詞（過去分詞）
(B) challenges → 動詞（第三人稱單數）、名詞（複數）
(C) competitors → 名詞（複數）
(D) cooperate → 動詞
(E) fast → 形容詞、動詞（幾乎不可能，因為動詞的意思是「絕食」）
(F) finishing → 形容詞（現在分詞）、名詞（動名詞）
(G) identify → 動詞
(H) opposite → 形容詞
(I) same → 形容詞
(J) teamwork → 名詞
其實很簡單吧，希望參加學測的孩子們都能拿高分，尤其是我最親愛的學生啊啊啊！
