一．完型填空
（1）入手？
1.首先要以很快的速度浏览全文，掌握文章的主旨，不要急于看
选项。浏览全文时要重点了解文中所叙述的人物、时间、地点、
事件。
第一句话往往解 释了文章的主题内容，对我们把握文章意思很重
要，因此一定要认真阅读第一句话。例如：Why is a space left
between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next?
这句话从铁轨之间的 缝隙引出了问题，文中内容应与热涨冷缩的
物理现象有关。
2.根据故事情节的发展确定所填词 与哪个词有关。
3.将所选定的词放到文章中检查。
（2）操作
1.找定位词
联系上下文，找到对选择有提示作用的词，这些词可能是同义词
或反义词。例如：
1)Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is
＿＿＿＿＿.
A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous
根据转折连词but的提示，所填入的词应与shallow相 反，因此
答案为A。
2)Mrs O’Neill asked＿＿＿＿＿
either.
A. no B. certain C. many D. more
and是一个并列连词；either为副词，用在否定句或否定词后加强
语 势，由此可以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词，因此答
案是A。
2.通顺逻辑，寻求搭配
注意固定的搭配，包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以
及形容词与名词的搭配等，同时 要根据内容选择正确的短语。例
如：
Here’s a fellow who just walked into a bank and helped himself＿＿
＿＿＿so much money.
A. for B. by C. to D. of
表示“自取 ，随便拿”这个意义的短语是故答案
为C。
3.扎实基础，搞清辨异
Soon I heard a＿＿＿＿＿like that of a doo
climb of feet.
A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout
选项中的四个词都 表示不同的声音，但B，C，D项的三个词都
是指从嗓子里发出的声音，而sound则表示各种各样的 声音。因
此答案是A。
4.看清执行者，确定所选词
And video cameras can be used to＿＿＿＿＿people’actions s at
home.
A. keep B. make C. record D. watch < br>句中动作的发出者是因此答案是C，意思是“记
录”。
5.寻求上下逻辑，从容确定关系
＿＿＿＿＿I
still remember something that happened during that visit.
A. and B. for C. but D. as
根据句前的many years和句后的still remember答案应选表示转
折的连词but.
6.了解生活常识，确定相关知识
(I
＿＿＿＿＿hospital.
A. animal B. biggestC. plant D. nearest
在这样的紧急情况下 ，人们的第一个反应是到最近的医院就医，
因此答案为D。
