怎樣巧用“線索法”做完形填空?
A formal letter is very different from an informal letter. Formal letters ___1___ to businesses, schools or government offices. ___2___ letters are for relatives, or former(以前的) teachers. You may write an informal letter by hand, but you should ___3___ a formal letter.
1.A. send B.are written C.write D.are dropped
2.A. Informal B.Formal C.Business D.Relative
3.A. copy B.type C.write D.share
【解析】1. 選B。該句缺少謂語動詞,而寫信應用被動語態。該句意為“正式書信是寫給商業部門、學校……”。D雖用了被動,但搭配不當。drop sb a line為“給人寫信(短信)”。
2.選A。前面說的是正式書信,這里說的是寫給親戚、好友或以前的老師的,較隨便,即非正式書信。
3.選B。通過but可知,此處說的是非正式書信與正式書信的寫作方式的不同,非正式書信可以手寫,但正式書信要正規得多,得打字。
2.巧用因果關系線索解題
即根據上下文的因果關系進行推斷,從而得出所需答案。如:
It was a strange noise that made the man ___1___ his car soon after he left a village ___2___ London. He got out of his car and ___3___ the wheels(車輪) carefully, but as he found nothing ___4___ he continued his way.
1.A. start B.stop C.slow D.speed
2.A. to B.for C.from D.of
3.A. repaired B.examined C.cleaned D.looked
4.A. wrong B.danger C.interesting D.matter
【解析】1.選B。他在去倫敦的路上,一陣奇怪的聲音驅使他把車停了下來。這可從He got out of his car…推測出來。
2.選B。leave…for…是個固定短語,意為“離開……到……”。
3.選B。在聽到奇怪的聲音后,他停下車來仔細檢查輪胎(看看出現了什么問題)。
4.選A。從下句“他又繼續趕路了”可知,“因為他沒有發現毛病”。nothing wrong意為“沒有毛病”。
3.巧用具體示例線索解題
即根據文章中所提供的具體實例進行分析,將與具體示例有關的信息進行優選,將與具體示例無關的信息進行排除,從而便可得出所需答案。如:
Every student must wear their ___1___ when they are at school. There are ___2___ items of uniforms: suits, dresses, shorts, skirts and T-shirts. There are also Wasley schoolbags, caps and socks.
1.A. long hair B.thick glasses C.sports shoes D.school uniforms
2.A. much B.three C.many D.a lot
【解析】1.選D。本段談論的是在校生穿校服的事情,而不是穿運動鞋,蓄長發、戴墨鏡并不是學校所提倡的。
2.選C。suits, dresses, shorts, skirts and T-shirts等是服裝的個例,前面只有填“校服”才與之相配。
