g and mathematics是他們談話討論的話題,由此可得出本題的答案為B?! verybody moved quickly in order to __6__ the seats theywanted. I was __7__ to get a seat near the tail, but… 6. A. fetch B. hold C. keep D. get 【解析】本題的答案可由后面的get a seat得出?! ?3. 根據(jù)文章的感情色彩解題 考生在第一遍通讀時,應(yīng)在掌握文章大意,弄清作者思路的基礎(chǔ)上,著重尋找反映語境褒貶性的標(biāo)志性詞匯或句子,這些標(biāo)志性詞匯或句子往往對文章的語境褒貶性起著決定性的作用。如: When Ed first phoned and __37__(suggested) we play, I1aughed quietly, figuring on an __38__(easy) victory. After all, Ed’s idea of__ 39__ (exercise) has always been nothing more ___40___(effortmaking) thanlifting a fork to his mouth. __41__(As long as) I can remember, Ed’s been theleast physically fit member in the family, and __42__(strangely) proud ofhimself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his Tshirt andtrousers. 【解析】讀這一部分,我們明顯看到作者是看不清Ed的,用詞有l(wèi)aughed, victory, nothing more than,least fit, strangely, big stomach等。在這樣的描述下,人們就會很容易地想到,“我”與Ed比賽,那簡直易如反掌(an easy victory),在“我”眼中他那么差,然而他卻以自己為自豪,我們怎么會覺得不奇怪(strangely)呢?因此從對人物反面的描述,我們得出這些答案就不難了?! was so surprised that I was __47__(speechless). Mycousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. __48__(As a result),at the point in our game when I’d have predicted the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was __49__(instead) 7 to 9and Ed was __ 50__ (leading). 【解析】surprised 一詞道出了情況的轉(zhuǎn)折,我們可以看到這時作者用詞的轉(zhuǎn)變。made aneffort,get into shape 等這些褒義詞的使用對這些空的選擇起到了很好的引導(dǎo)作用。speechless, instead 都是由驚訝得出的。 The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’spopulation. __1__ homelessness has reached such proportions that localgovernment can’t possibly __2__. To help homeless people__3__independence, thefederal government must support job training programs, __4__the minimum wage,and fund more lowcost housing. 考生要看懂第一話,為了幫助the homeless,所以選項必須全部支持這個主題,要選擇與主題態(tài)度相關(guān)的詞?! ?4. 綜合利用各種線索解題 完形填空題主要考查短文閱讀理解的能力。因此考生必須閱讀全文,弄清句子與句子之間的關(guān)系,準(zhǔn)確理解全文。為了答好題,考生必須從字里行間尋找能夠利用的線索。如書寫和形態(tài)變化線索(graphic and morphological clues)、詞匯線索(lexicalclues)、句法線索(syntactical clues)、社會文化線索(sociocultural clues),并根據(jù)有關(guān)的線索進行猜測,作出合理的判斷。如: And the clerk confirmed that his plane was leaving atnine o’clock three days from that day… Since he was __44__ in three days, Andydidn’t lose anytime. 44. B. returning C. staying D. leaving 【解析】單從這句來看,考生實難判斷出正確答案,但如果結(jié)合前文,就可以找到設(shè)空部分的解題線索——上文中出現(xiàn)的詞匯leaving。故本題答案為D。 有時題目的答案在短文中就有出現(xiàn),如能找出線索,解題就易如反掌。如: Many experts believe parents should gently look over thework of younger children and ask them to rethink their __12__. A. exercises B. defects C. mistakes D. tests 【解析】許多專家認(rèn)為家長應(yīng)簡單地看看孩子的作業(yè),并讓他們自己重新思考自己做的練習(xí)。能與句中work照應(yīng)的只有選項
