浅谈完形填空

1.上下文对照，考查学生捕捉关键词的能力。

解完型填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要阅读下句或者若干句才能明白。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。比如第55小题，考查动词。A. surprised 使惊讶；B. disappointed使失望；C. touched 触摸，感动；D. depressed沮丧。根据空后的"but"和下一段的"when most people would never open the door to someone like me"可知,这个人看上去很惊讶。故选A。

2.设置语境，考查学生的分析推理能力。

旨在考查学生在选项都符合语法及句子结构的情况下能否利用前后语境去推断出正确答案。47小题，C考查形容词。A. willing 愿意的；B. anxious焦虑的；C. likely可能的；D. pleased感到高兴的。句意：他更很可能是抢劫而不是帮助我。be likely to do sth.很可能做某事。故选C。48小题8，A考查副词。A. politely 有礼貌地； B. stubbornly 固执地； C. repeatedly重复地；D. hurriedly匆匆忙忙地。句意：所以我有礼貌地拒绝了。故选A。根据47小题，可知48小题的答案。
