总体来讲，短文匹配主要考查主题句、细节句、过渡句。短文匹配的目标是使得通篇过渡自然、逻辑通顺。
中心句/主题句
一般在首段的首句或末句，是对已经展开或即将展开的内容的一个总体描述；
细节句
一般在段落中，与该空前后的描述方向基本一致；
过渡句
一般有明显过渡词，留意选项中或者文章中是否出现了过渡词。
广东专升本的短文匹配是五选五，没有干扰的选项，文章较短、难度不大、通俗易懂也不枯燥，因此要做全对是考生可以达到的目标。
考生想要锻炼该部分能力的话，建议可以拿近年高考七选五练手。
短文匹配的做题技巧
一、阅读首段
阅读首段的目的是知道这篇文章围绕什么话题展开，心里有个大概。
例：When people go to the movies today, they can settle in to watch and listen to a story. But what if when the lights dimmed and the movie began, there was no dialogue, sound effects, or music? Those silent films are important to film history.
解析：首句the movies today和末句silent films告诉了读者本文围绕“电影”展开，而且是新老两代电影。
二、浏览所有选项
浏览所有选项，找出每个选项的关键词，带着它们阅读文章。这样做的目的是节省时间，高效定位。
例：（原文略）
A. It marked the beginning of a new era.
B. That’s what the first movies were like.
C. Music was chosen to fit the mood of the movie.
D. However, there was no sound in the movie itself.
E. Many silent film performers had trouble with the new format.
解析：关键词一般为选项中的主谓宾或主系表、目的、方式、专有词等。
三、在挖空的前后句/上下段找关键字句
段中句，看前后；段首句，看下文。这里可以注意逻辑词、代词、原词重复或同义替换等情况。
例： People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.
A. It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.
B. Negative self-talk damages self- confidence and decreases self-respect.
C. It helps one to remain clear headed and confident in difficult situations.
D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.
E. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.
参考答案：D
解析：段首句，看下文。后文“People who think positively……”阐述了积极思考对人的各种好处，与D选项several beneficial effects对应。People who think positively也与D选项Positive thinking对应，属于原词重现。
四、先易后难
切勿在一个空上“死磕”，如遇挖空处看似能与一个以上的选项匹配，先把更确定的完成。
例：When movie theaters showed silent films, a musician was often there to play live music along with the movie. Occasionally, musicians or theater staff also produced sound effects, such as tires screeching or doors slamming. Instead, the story was told through the performers’ motions and through words shown on the screen.
A. It marked the beginning of a new era.
B. That’s what the first movies were like.
C. Music was chosen to fit the mood of the movie.
D. However, there was no sound in the movie itself.
E. Many silent film performers had trouble with the new format.
参考答案：C；D
解析：该段围绕“声音”阐述，与之相关的选项有C、D；instead有“相反/代替”的意思，也就是instead前后描述的内容不相同，第二个空就需要一个能使instead前后过渡自然的句子，D选项However（然而）和no sound符合这里的分析，选D。此时分析第一个空和C选项：such as tires screeching or doors slamming列举了两种不同情况下的声响，对应C选项中的was chosen to fit the mood。
