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(shū)寫(xiě)和形態(tài)變化線索(graphic and morphological clues)、詞匯線索(lexical clues)、句法線索(syntactical clues)、社會(huì)文化線索(socio-cultural clues),并根據(jù)有關(guān)的線索進(jìn)行猜測(cè),作出合理的判斷。如:
And the clerk confirmed that his plane was leaving at nine o’clock three days from that day… Since he was ___44___ in three days, Andy didn’t lose anytime.
44. A. moving B. returning C. staying D. leaving
【解析】單從這句來(lái)看,考生實(shí)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(shí)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 the work of younger children and ask them to rethink their 12 . 13875974090
A. exercises B. defects C. mistakes D. tests
【解析】許多專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為家長(zhǎng)應(yīng)簡(jiǎn)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(xiàng)A。
