解题策略
FOUR-STEP STRATEGY先做 句中挖空（28、29 空）
这两空线索最直接：28 讲"学习点放哪里"（卧室/厨房/客厅），29 讲"学习用品摆哪里"——选项与前后文话题直接呼应，先确认它们并划掉已选选项。
划掉已经确认的选项
每确定一空，就把对应选项字母划掉。剩余选项越少，后面排除越简单。
再做 段首挖空（27、30 空）
段首句通常是概括整段内容的主题句。方法：读挖空后面的句子，看它们在讲什么，往前推导"这一段在说哪件事"，再去选项中找能概括它的句子——27 后文列举目标的种类，30 后文列举日历的类型。
最后做 段尾总结句（26 空）
开头段的段尾通常是总结句，从"新学年全新开始"升华到"为新学年做准备是明智的"，再引出下文四项具体准备。剩余选项中常有一个"多余项"，它内容虽相关（如"多参加体育比赛"）但文中无对应位置，最后必被排除。
