完型填空题的答题方法：

解完型填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要注意句子间的关系及句子与段落的关系。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。例如第12小题考查名词。A. words话；B. action行动；C. ideas思想；D. experience经验。句意：当我的话伤害某个人时，疼痛却永远不会消失。根据上文“Robert，your constant（不断的）bad words are hurting me．If you ___2___ to be this rude，you will get into big trouble．”的提示可知，故选A.

有时也会根据语境，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。例如第7小题考查形容词。A. crazy疯狂的；B. afraid害怕的；C. sad难过的；D. bored烦恼的。因为伤害了他的感情，所以会使他感觉难过。根据语境推断出，故选C.

关注连词，考查学生对行文逻辑、句子关联的理解能力。此项用来考查学生在缺少连词的情况想，通过阅读能否理解句子的与句子的关系，是否了解行文逻辑的要求，能否掌握表示因果、转折、并列、条件、让步等的连词的用法。例如第11小题考查连词。A. while在……期间；B. after在……之后；C. when当……时候；D. where在哪里。句意：当我在身体上伤害某个人时，伤口最终会愈合。与下文的when I hurt someone with my___12___，是并列的。故选C.
