文章中會出現四個黑色的方框，要求考生將所給句子插入這四個位置中合適的一個位置。在考試時，只要雙擊選定的黑色方框即可。這種題型重點考察考生對原文中的上下文語境和句子之間關系的把握。因此，解決這種題型的關鍵在于仔細閱讀待插入句子，從中提取能夠承上啟下的線索詞;然后，根據線索詞對上線文作出預測;最后，回到原文讀預測內容，并根據原文本身句子間連接的緊密度進行排除即可。
掌握句子與句子之間的關聯方法是句子插入題的關鍵
1、形式上的關聯：主要為邏輯詞(因果、轉折、遞進等)和指代詞;
2、語義上的關聯：重復的概念;
下面來看一道例題：Whatdo you remember about your life before you were three? Few people can remember anything that happened to them in their earlyyears.Adults' memories of the next few years also tend to be scanty.Most people remember only a few events--usually ones that weremeaningful and distinctive，such as beinghospitalized or a sibling’ s birth.

Other importantoccasions are school graduations and weddings.
Where would the sentence best fit?
解析：仔細閱讀所給句子，從中提取線索詞;該句表示其它的重要事件包括畢業和結婚，句中主語other important occasions出現了other這個指示代詞，因此，我們可以預測前文一定出現過某些事件。接下來，我們回到原文中至少從第一個黑方框前一句話開始閱讀，在原文中尋找預測的內容。在文章中的最后一句，說大多數人僅僅記得一些事件(a few events)，即那些有意義的和獨特的，例如住院或者兄弟姐妹的出生。因此，other important occasions應該放在a few events之后，所以待插入句子只能放在最后的位置。
在以上內容中，我們了解了句子插入題(Insert Text Questions)主要考察的是句子與句子之間的關聯方式，并且分析了一道例題。這一章，我們繼續來分析一道例題，然后再來研究一下這種題型的出題原理。
Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged? Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans. Very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. In 1979, a team looking for fossils in northern Pakistan found what proved to be the oldest fossil whale.

This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages.
Where would the sentence best fit?
解析：在被插入句子中提到this is a question，說明前文一定有提到過某個問題;帶著這個預測信息回到原文中發現，第一個黑方框后面即是一個疑問句：How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged?(走路的哺乳動物和游泳的鯨魚之間的差異是如何過渡的?)，所以把被插入句子放在第二個黑方框的位置，補充說明這個問題是一個困擾了科學家很多年的問題;因此正確答案為第二個黑方框。
根據上一章中的考點和兩道例題來看：首先，句子插入題只出現在倒數第二道題的位置，在這道題之前我們已經完成了至少10道題，而這道題需要我們插一句話到文章中;這就意味著這句話一定不能夠改變原文本來的內容和意思;另外，我們可以猜測需要被插入的句子應該是原文中本來存在的，而非出題者寫的;因此，這種原文本身存在的，去掉又不會影響原文意思的句子，一定是文章中不重要的句子。而什么樣的句子在文章中不重要呢?一般來說，或者承接前文繼續解釋說明，或者引出后文，或者承上啟下的過渡句。因此，句子插入題只需去找該句子和前后文的重復即可。
