二. 解题技巧
【技能1】前后照顾
使用上下文信息,选择或填写正确的单词是解决完形填空问题最常用的方法之一。当我们做四个选择和一个完形填空时,我们有时会发现每个选项都可以从语法的角度来解释。在这种情况下,我们应该仔细阅读上下文,正确的答案将在上下文中得到提示。尝试以下例子:
【例1】What do I remember about my childhood? There were good things and bad things. We used to live________ , and my parents always got up early in the morning to feed the cows and sheep.
A. in a town
B. on a farm
C. on a busy street
D. in a city
【解析】B 这一段主要讲述了作者回忆起他小时候居住的地方。从四个选项来看,语法上是有可能的。但通过以下my parents always got up early in the morning to feed the cows and sheep.提醒我们,作者生活在农村,选择B作为正确答案。
【例2】I always remember waking up to the smell of the breakfast my mother was cooking. What a wonderful smell! I used to _________ ,wash quickly and run downstairs. My breakfast would be waiting for me on the table.
A. leave the bed
B.lie in bed
C. jump out of bed
D. get up
【解析】C 每天早上妈妈做的早餐都会散发出诱人的香味,让我躺在床上立刻起床。根据题干,A、C、D与床有关,但根据上下文情景的提示,这里还要表达作者迫不及待的心情。所以只能选C。
【技能2】情感态度:难题
在形容词中,副词分为三种情感:
(1) 正情感:happy ,amazing等
(2)零情感:fast ,slow ,surprising等等
(3) 负情感:sad ,disappointed等等
【例】Among them, a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking. I had seen him around, and I knew he was always laughed at. He seemed unsure of himself, and was so pale that it ____ us to look at him.
A. worried
B. surprised
C. taught
D. hurt
【解析】D 从上面的描述可以看出,他的脸是如此苍白,以至于看着他会感到不舒服。所以选择形容词hurt。
【技巧3】固定搭配
【例1】On the train, Tom was looking 1 for his ticket because the conductor was coming __2 to his ticket.
1.A. out
B. forward
C. anywhere
D. everywhere
2.A. down
B. up
C. in
D. on
【分析】第一空间是指Tom在火车上到处找票,所以选择D。everywhere是最好的答案,anywhere常用于否定句和疑问句。
第二空格意味着列车员上前查票,走到某人面前 up to sb.选择B作为固定短语的搭配。
[例2 ] Whenever I’m __ __, I still look back at that yearbook.
A. away
B. out
C. behind
D. down
[分析]这篇文章讲述了一个叫里克的学生的变化:从经常被嘲笑,没有信心到充满信心和被喜欢。这个问题是本文的最后一个问题,我想表明,每当我遇到挫折时,我总是会想到那一天。be down,固定搭配,表示情绪低落。
【技能4】词义辨析
在选项中设置四个词性相同、含义相似的词是完形填空命题中常用的手段之一。在做这样的话题时,你必须在特定的语境中选择最好的,或者你也可以考虑一些固定的短语搭配来做选项。在完成第一个字母填空时,应特别注意空格中缺少的单词的词性和短语搭配。
【例】A Japanese manager once said he himself and his workers would all stand while they were having meetings. Do you __________what he means?
A.think
B. guess
C. know
D. understand
【解析】C 这一段讲述了一位日本经理和他的员工在会议上站着的故事。这个问题是你知道他说话的意思吗?
【技能5】中心主题
文章的最后一句通常是积极的态度或观点。
【例1】I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff’s team. He became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his . The fact that it has made a difference in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

【解析】 D 本文提到,在参加学生会主席选举后,“我”被邀请参加Jeff的竞选团队,并发挥了巨大的作用,帮助Jeff竞选成功,也得到了灵感:无论在哪里,只要他们发挥作用,这是真正的奖励,会给自己带来美好的感觉。说我也是他成功的一部分,所以选择success。

A. teachers

D. friends
【分析】这篇文章讲述了“我”出生后不久父亲去世的故事。阿姨玛丽一直扮演着父亲的角色,带着“我”长大。因此,在过去的40年里,“我”每天都会给她送父亲节贺卡,以表达“我”不断加深的感激之情。因此,这个话题选择了C。
【技能6】简单逻辑
分为因果、并列、转折、否定。
【例1】For more than sixty years, Aunt Marion didn’t and still don’t think of herself. ___ she is forced to come up to the front, my aunt will stand in the back in family photos, and she doesn’t think that her efforts have made much…

【解析】D 最能凸显出 poster without的介词是without 否定介词和前面的no 对应,双重否定表肯定。
【技能7】场景还原

A. eye
B. face
C. heart
