代词主要用来代替上文中已提及的人或事物。它对语境的依赖很强，所以代词非常适合在语篇中进行考查，这也就不难解释为什么代词几乎每年必考了。
一、考点归纳
语法填空中对代词的考查是通过纯空格形式来考查的，从往年的高考题来看，代词的考点主要包括以下几方面：
1. 人称代词。在句中作主语用主格：（单数）I，you，he，she，it，（复数）we，you，they；作宾语用宾格：（单数）me，you，him，her， it，（复数）us，you，them。
2. 反身代词。在句中作宾语或同位语：（单数）myself， yourself，himself，herself，itself；（复数）ourselves，yourselves，themselves。
3. 名词性物主代词。在句中作主语、宾语、表语：（单数）mine，yours，his，hers，its；（复数）ours，yours，theirs。
4. 在句中作主语或宾语的不定代词。表示两者或多者的有both，either，neither，all，any，none；复合不定代词有anything，anyone，anybody，something，someone，somebody，nothing，nobody等；替代词有that，one，those等。
5. 指示代词。有this，these，that，those等。
6. it的用法。指前面已提到的事物、想法或情况等；指时间、天气、距离、环境等；作形式主语或形式宾语；用于it is...that...强调结构。
二、解法指导
纯空格的语法填空题，当句子缺主语或宾语时，填代词。因为在句中充当主语或宾语的应是名词或代词，而在语法填空的纯空格中是不要求考生填名词的，所以只要句子缺少主语或宾语，就该填代词。
在确定填代词后，再根据语境，弄清所缺主语或宾语具体指代上文或下文中的具体内容，结合上述几种代词的不同意义和用法，确定填具体哪个代词。
除了一些习惯的搭配外，如some...others、those who...、by myself等，在选择代词时，我们要从人称、性、数等方面进行考虑，是指代人还是指代物。
[例1]（2012年广东） “Do you need those glasses for medical reasons？”the teacher asked. The new boy shook his head. “Then I’d appreciate it if you didn’t wear them in class...
The new boy looked at the teacher for a few seconds and...Then he took off，gave a big smile and said “That is cool”.
解析：此处是纯空格题，句子took后缺少宾语，应填代词；根据语境可知，是指前文的those glasses，故填them。
[例2]（2010年广东） He asked his teacher，“Sir，the water was awful. Why did you pretend to like ？”
解析：及物动词like（喜欢）后缺宾语，应填代词的宾格形式；指前面提到的“水（the water）”，故填it。
[例3]（2011年广东） I rose from my seat and walked to the front of the bus. I sat next to the man and introduced myself. We had an amazing conversation...
I’m glad I made a choice. It made of us feel good.
解析：made后缺宾语，用代词；由上文 “We （I and the mentally disabled man） had an amazing conversation”可知，指作者和那个智障人“两个人”，故填both。

（1）
It was my first day at school in London. 1 felt both excited and nervous. On 2 way to school I wondered how I should behave 3 and if I would be accepted by other students.
When I reach school，my teacher had an conversation with me before class and it made 4 of us feel good. Then I was brought to the new class.
My teacher was called Mr. Jones. 5 was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield. First he asked a boy if he knew Dickens’ birthplace，but he didn’t guess right. Another boy called Brian，said：“Timbuktu”，and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said：“Portsmouth”，and everyone stared at 6
because Mr. Jones said I was right. This made me very popular and I found 7 easy to get along with others after that. I made several friends and had a good time with 8 . At the end of the day，I was no longer a stranger.
（2）
We were 1 busy preparing for the opening ceremony of the comin
g sports meeting these days. This morning， 2 held a meeting，discussing buying a class uniform for the performance at the ceremony. We reached a quick agreement on the design but 3 was terribly difficult to decide on its color. Some students advised red while 4 suggested blue. After a long discussion，we gave up 5 ，choosing white instead.
In the afternoon，our headmaster recommended three online shops to 6 . Unfortunately，the T-shirts in the first shops were a little expensive and 7 in the others were of poor quality. Since the opening ceremony was around the corner，we seemed to have no choice but to choose one of 8 . Finally，we made a bargain with the boss of the first shop. 9 agreed on our price，as well as offering two free ones for our teachers，which surprised us greatly. There was no doubt that he became a friend of 10 after the excellent buy. We could hardly wait for the performance！
