【名师点睛】完形填空题考察比较全面，涉及到词汇、语法、时态或者词意相同用法不同等问题，旨在考察学生综合运用语言知识的能力。做此题时必须通篇考虑，先掌握大意，再综合运用所学词汇、语法及常识进行推理判断。联系上下文，抓住线索进行答题。

例如，第16小题， “Many years later, I was in a department store____16____someone said, “Polly?” I turned to see the big gray eyes.”，由句意可知，当我听到一个人喊我的时候我正在百货商店里。When和while都有当…时候的意思，这就需要区分when和while的不同了。when既可表示某一点时间，也可以表示某一段时间，在when引导的时间状语从句中,其谓语动词可以是延续性的，也可以是非延续性的，可与主句中的谓语动词同时发生，也可在其后发生，while只能表示某一段时间，不能表示某一点时间。在while引导的时间状语从句中,其谓语动词只能是延续性的，而且也只能与主句中的谓语动词同时发生或存在。另外,when和while的区别还在于：while引导的时间状语从句多用进行时态,而when引导的时间状语从句多用一般时态，句中此处表示某一时刻。故选B。
