同学们在平时做题的过程中有没有发现这样的现象：有些题目看起来似曾相识，轻而易举就可选出“正确答案”，结果往往发现自己错了。这些题目就是我们所说的“陷阱题”。它们看似简单，实则不易解答。出题者往往设下“陷阱”，如果大家用固定的思维方式去考虑，就会误选答案。近年来，高考试卷中也常有这种性质的试题出现。当同学们遇到这种题时，既不可“轻易下手”，也不可不知所措，而应做到先三思而后行。首先，同学们要认真审题，发现“陷阱”。要灵活地运用语法规则，理顺思路，寻找“陷阱”。其次，要运用多向思维，分析“陷阱”。不要用习惯的、单一的、片面的思维去解题。再次，要去伪存真，识别“陷阱”。要抓住基本知识点及特殊现象，不厌其烦地归纳理解，认清选择题目中的“鱼目”及“珍珠”，避免落入“陷阱”。最后就是要加强验证，跳出“陷阱”。这就要求学习者要有良好的检查验证习惯，掌握验证的方法，即使落入了“陷阱”，也能在验证过程中，发现“陷阱”，并迅速地跳出来。
