【名师点睛】

在完成完形填空时我们可以使用语篇标志进行解题。语篇标志是指能表明各个句群或段落之间的内在联系的词语。如表示结构层次的语篇标志有firstly， secondly， thirdly， finally等；表示逻辑关系的词语有therefore， so， thus， but， however等；表示递进关系的词语有even， besides， what’s more等；表示时间关系的词语有before， after， so far等；表示选择关系的or， whether…or…等。根据这些语篇标志，我们就可以迅速弄清上下文的关系，理清文章的脉络层次，从而做出正确的选择。如：

● First of all， I respected his devotion to teaching…______， I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk…Finally， I was attracted by his lively sense of humor. (全国卷)

A. Later B. Secondly C. However D. Therefore

解析:最佳答案为 B。考生如果注意到了文章上下文中的语篇标志词语first of all 和 finally，再比较四个选项，显然只有选secondly 最恰当。

结合本文56题Throughout the years, _____ Mom would remind me I should be looking for someone to get married to，I’d say, “Ma, I have plenty of time.”句意：这些年中，无论何时妈妈提醒我要找一个人结婚的时候，我总是说，妈妈我还有时间。根据句意可知本题需要一个连词来引导时间状语从句。所以使用whenever。
