一.词汇复现
【解题技巧】
复现是一种语义衔接手段,它通过原词、同义词或近义词、反义词、上义词、下义词、同源词或同根词等重复出现来表达某一概念,使整篇文章上下连贯,有机地衔接在一起。因此,考生可根据文章的具体情况,理解文章的结构和语境,利用文章中的复现现象来选择正确的答案。
【典题演示1】
原词或者同根词复现指的是相同的单词或者同根词在原文中反复出现,达到衔接文章的目的.
1. “I’m going to inspire so many people,” she said. “I’m ready to 60 .” And shine she did.
A. shine B. fly C. dance D. score
答案:A
解析:考查动词词义辨析。句意:“我准备好发光了”。A. shine照耀、发光;B. fly飞行;C. dance跳舞;D. score得分。由上文“I’m going to inspire so many people”和“And shine she did.”可知,Douglas认为自己将会激励很多人,即自己会发光,影响到很多人,故选A。
【典题演示2】
同义词或者近义词复现指的是意义相近或者相同的单词在原文中反复出现,以此来达到衔接文章的目的.
Whatever_______ life in Italy might have, the problems are forgottrn once you sit down to a big meal with friends and family.
A. disadvantages B. meanings
C. surprises D. opportunities.
【答案】A
【解析】根据下文的the problems可知,该空指的应是生活在意大利的劣势(disadvantages)。
【典题演示3】
反义词复现指的是和前文中词义相反的单词在原文中出现, 以此来达到衔接文章的目的.
It might sound like one long, expensive vacation, but the couple has an unusual way to make their travel _________
A. safe B. busy C. helpful D. affordable
二.利用逻辑推断
【解题技巧】
句子之间的逻辑关系主要包括:
并列关系 (连接词有and, while, as well as等);
转折关系 (连接词有but, however, whereas, nevertheless等);
因果关系 (连接词有so, therefore, thus, because, for, since, as等);
让步关系 (连接词或短语有though, although, despite, in spite of等);
条件关系 (连接词或短语有if, unless, once, provided that)
顺序关系 (连接词有before, after, first, second, then, next, finally)。
【典题演示1】
“But it’s also a great ___53___, for it can sometimes take days to organise a single event,” Ribeiro said.
A. lesson B. pleasure C. success D. challenge
【答案】D
【解析】文中的并列连词for表原因,对解题起到了关键解释作用,为正确选择提供了线索。
三.利用语境提示
【解题技巧】
在完形填空中,我们一定要在快速阅读文章的过程中,仔细找出能够
反映作者态度和感情色彩的重要词汇,它们往往是名词、形容词、副
词或动词。
①关注故事的转折点和相关人物的情绪变化;
②判断作者与文中其他人物的情感态度;
③积累表达“爱憎好恶”的词汇和固定短语。

42.【答案】B
【解析】逻辑推理题。根据上句可知,Gabby Douglas要成为奥运冠军,据此可知,她整理好在Virginia的床铺准备出发。pack up意为“整理”。
43.【答案】A
【解析】逻辑推理题。根据前文可知,她要成为奥运冠军,所以她离开了她熟知的一切,故该处指她对她的两条狗说再见。
44.【答案】C
【解析】逻辑推理题。根据该句中的“the beach”和“waves on her board”可知,该处指在踏板上冲浪。ride waves意为“冲浪”。
四.利用背景和生活常识
【解题技巧】
完形填空的语篇中往往渗透着诸如文化科学、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。在做题时,若能积极地调动自己掌握的文化背景知识和生活常识,巧妙地加以运用,特别是注意中西文化的差异,将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程,节省宝贵的时间,从而轻松地做出正确判断。另外,利用生活常识和文化背景解题也需要考生结合逻辑推断,谨慎选择。

【典题演示1】
原词或者同根词复现指的是相同的单词或者同根词在原文中反复出现,达到衔接文章的目的.

并列关系 (连接词有and, while, as well as等);
转折关系 (连接词有but, however, whereas, nevertheless等);
因果关系 (连接词有so, therefore, thus, because, for, since, as等);
让步关系 (连接词或短语有though, although, despite, in spite of等);
条件关系 (连接词或短语有if, unless, once, provided that)
顺序关系 (连接词有before, after, first, second, then, next, finally)。

反映作者态度和感情色彩的重要词汇,它们往往是名词、形容词、副
词或动词。
