一、注意前后語境
考查考生根據(jù)上下文提供的信息進(jìn)行分析及推理的能力。高考的完形填空題中絕大多數(shù)屬這種題型。有的根據(jù)上文、有的根據(jù)下文、有的要上下文結(jié)合,甚至通篇看完并理解才能作出正確的選擇。請看下面廣東卷中的一個(gè)小題(題中保留了原題中的題號(hào),下同):
“As a matter of fact, I’ve got someone in the office at this very moment who might ___49___.” She wrote down a number, and held it out to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”
49. A. hireB. acceptC. suitD. offer
【分析】根據(jù)下文,這個(gè)婦女告訴他第二天可以去上班了,可見,她認(rèn)為作者是適合(suit)的。
二、注意固定搭配
考查考生對常見的英語固定短語和習(xí)慣用法的掌握情況。如動(dòng)詞與名詞的搭配;動(dòng)詞與介詞或副詞的搭配;介詞與名詞的搭配等。這類搭配在高考完形填空中時(shí)有出現(xiàn)。請看下面全國卷中的一個(gè)小題:
I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them ___44___the telephone.
44. A. with B. by C. fromD. on
【分析】表示“通過電話”交談,用on the telephone 或by telephone,這是習(xí)慣搭配。
