浏览全文时要重点了解文中所叙述关键点(解题关键:题目暗示点):人物、时间、地点、事件,即who,when,where,what。完形填空命题的原则一般是第一句话不挖空,目的是使读者进入语境,因此一定要认真阅读这句话。
例如:Why is a space left between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next?
1)Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is veryvery_____.
A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous
转折必有暗示,根据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_____questionsand she didn’t scold us either.
A. no B. certain C. many D. more
关联必有暗示,根据and的提示,又发现后面either的暗示,我们可以明确所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词,因此答案是A。
3)Here’s a fellow who just walked into a bank and helped himself_____so much money.
A. for B. by C. to D. of
本题考查词组,选项是介词,我们参考动词helped himself,一一搭配,只有C表示自取、拿,故选C。
4)Soon I heard a_____like that of a door burst inand then a climb of feet.
A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout
词义辨析题,题目中I不是主语、a door burst才是真正的主语。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。
5)And video cameras can be used to_____people’s actions at home.
A. keep B. make C. record D. watch
主语是暗示点, video cameras能做的动作是记录。故选C。
6)It has been many years since I was last in London_____I still remember something that happened during that visit.
A. and B. for C. but D. as
时间暗示: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.
