完形填空——核心考点之语境词汇
1. 语境把握
语境线索是指上下文明示或暗示的信息、逻辑关系及语义关系。做这类题重要的是在选择答案前认真通读上下文,不能只关注选择空项所在的句子。对以下三种语境的把握有助于选出正确答案。
(1)答案在选择空项上文之中。因此,做这类题时,要“瞻前”。
【真题】An earthquake hit Kashmir on Oct. 8, 2005. It took some 75,000 lives, 67 130,000 and left nearly 3.5 million without food, jobs or homes. (2007.6)
67. A injured B ruined C destroyed D damaged
【分析】根据题意,空格前为死亡人数,It took some 75, 000 lives的意思是“地震造成了七万五千人死亡”;空格后为失业和无家可归的人数,因此根据文章的语境,空格处应是“受伤”一词,所以injured为正确答案。
(2)答案在选择空项下文之中。因此,做这类题时,要“顾后”。
【真题】But today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the 72 that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to come. (2006.6)
72. A practice B outlook C idea D scheme
【分析】本题中that为关键词,其后的句子为同位语从句,且整句话表达了观点,所以选idea。
(3)答案在选择空项的上文和下文中都能找到。因此,做这类题时,要“瞻前顾后”。
【真题】72 While mini-cars and luxury foreign brands are still popular, everything in between is 73 . Last year sales fell 6.7 percent, 7.6 percent 74 if you don’t count the mini-car market. (2009. 06)
73 A surging B stretching C slipping D shaking
【分析】上文“While”和“still”表示转折,暗示选择空项需要与上文的“popular”形成对比;考生继续向下读,根据下文中介绍去年的销售额下降6.7%和7.6%,可以判断此空也涉及销售额的下降问题,故选C项slipping“下跌,减退,滑倒”,其他选项均为干扰项。
