Unit 3　Under the sea 完形填空之利用語境解題 方法指導 做完形填空題時牢記上下文的關(guān)聯(lián)和語境暗示對解題會很有幫助。上下文是形成語境的基礎(chǔ),做題時要學會瞻前顧后,做到詞不離句、句不離段、段不離文。因為有時如果單獨看空格,看似幾個選項填入空格都沒有錯,句子也通順,但結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容來理解,就只有一個最佳答案。像這篇完形填空的第1題,下文明顯出現(xiàn)了treatment,還有第11題和第12題,這兩題關(guān)聯(lián)很大,是相輔相成的。14題和上文的last swimmer相對應。 典例引領(lǐng) (2016天津) The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.

Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to　15　her friends and praise their acplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach　16　,“The highest honor goes to Cathy!”Looking around, he continued,“Cathy has inspired us with her　17　and enthusiasm.　18　skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(財富)one can hold is the heart.” It was the greatest　19　of my daughter’s life.
