? ? ? ?①重點(diǎn)讀懂第一段第一句。
完形填空在這一點(diǎn)和閱讀理解很像,經(jīng)常會(huì)在第一段第一句引出文章議題,只要讀懂這一句就能把握文章主要方向,做題也瞬間容易了。例如:
Some people worry about my collecting of those fascinatingbirds and animals that they pay to see in the z00. One of the questions that is always askedis_ 51 I became an animal collector.
?、谌Τ鲞x項(xiàng)與文章相同的詞。
只要發(fā)現(xiàn)題目選項(xiàng)有與文章相同的詞,一定要圈出來并加以推敲,極有可能就是答案。例如:
But_ 54 , after long waiting, the company posted each person such a letter. If the_ 58 letter surprised and delighted thousands of employees, the second letter almost_ 59 _them to tears.
以下為第54題的選項(xiàng):
A. to their surprise
B. to their despair
C. with good luck
D. with bad luck
根據(jù)全文情景,本題可選A或C,但是因?yàn)楹笪脑俅纬霈F(xiàn)了A選項(xiàng)的 surprise,所以選A的理由更加充分。這種技巧,每年完形幾乎都能用得上!
③圈出同義詞&反義詞。
只要發(fā)現(xiàn)題目選項(xiàng)有與文章相關(guān)的同義詞或反義詞,一定要圈出來,答案通常就在這些詞里面。例如:
(1) As he puts himself in his student's place, he is able to understand his_ 52 and they're able to understand him.
A. pupils
B. classmates
C. fellows
D. friends
文中出現(xiàn)的student和A選項(xiàng)的pupil (學(xué)生,常指小學(xué)生)相近,而答案的確就是A。
(2) The second letter almost_ 59 _them to tears.So who would not be touched by such care?
A. moved
B. changed
C. swept
D. hit
文中的touch有“感動(dòng)”的意思,與A選項(xiàng)的move“感動(dòng)”對(duì)應(yīng)。
?、軓木浜凸潭ù钆洹?/strong>
完形也會(huì)考到從句和固定搭配,所以學(xué)好從句以及記好固搭配不僅對(duì)單項(xiàng)有用,對(duì)完形也大有裨益。例如:
56 I grew a little older, we lived in Greece.
A. Since
B. Although
C. When
D. So
時(shí)間狀語從句,選C。
I have a_ 57 number of pets, ranging from snakes to seahorses.
A. many
B. much
C. great
D. big
固定搭配a great number of (大量) ,故選C。
?、萃嘏懦?。
有時(shí)候有的選項(xiàng)屬于同一類型,簡(jiǎn)而言之,如果選了其中一個(gè)另外一個(gè)也符合,這就造成了沖突,所以兩者或三者都應(yīng)排除。例如:
58 , because people today live longer after an ilness than people did years before.
A. Therefore
B. However
C. Moreover
D. Whereas
選項(xiàng)B和D都可表示“ 然而”,屬于同元素,因此可以優(yōu)先排除。
Just as the chairman_ 62 , on the day of receiving the second letter, thousands of employees rushed back to the company.
A. did
B. acted
C. expected
D. understood
選項(xiàng)A和B放到第62題里,都可表示"正如老板所做的一樣",屬于同元素,因此可以優(yōu)先排除。
