完形填空更注重對篇章語境的考查，而并非單純孤立的考查語法和詞匯知識。做好完形填空的題目，考生日常要注意對段落和上下文的把握，要善于捕捉文中提供的信息。在單項填空中提到的幾項解題方法同樣適用于完形填空，考生應(yīng)該在深刻領(lǐng)會的基礎(chǔ)上綜合運用各種解題方法。華洋專家提出“三遍閱讀法”解題，通過第一遍閱讀快速瀏覽，根據(jù)不完整的句子掌握短文的大概意思，知道文章在講一些什么事情，不需要糾纏細節(jié)的東西。因為時間上的限制，這遍閱讀要快，在快速閱讀中盡可能充分理解短文意思。第二遍就是分析選擇，在第一遍的基礎(chǔ)上，認真分析每一個空白，根據(jù)上下文，語法、詞法等基本語言知識，給每空選出答案。第二遍閱讀要求考生盡可能仔細，認真分析短文的每一個細節(jié)。第三遍把做好選擇代入文章進行通讀，檢查有沒有遺漏或者錯誤。這一遍一般也要求要較快的完成，實際是對自己前兩遍工作的一個復(fù)查驗證。如果能夠認真的完成上述三遍閱讀，完形填空應(yīng)該能夠得到很好的成績。有的考生在開始的時候覺得三遍特別費時間，拿到題目讀了第一句就要做出選擇，其實這是不好的做法，“欲速則不達”，沒有第一遍閱讀，不了解短文的大致意思，很難快速而高準確率的做出選擇。

通過第一遍的快速通讀，我們大概了解這篇短文主要是講英國大笨鐘名稱的由來。1的三個選項中，表示全世界文明應(yīng)該用throughout the world. 這也是個習慣用法。2是對語態(tài)的考查，“被稱為”要用被動語態(tài)，[A]、[B]語態(tài)都不對。關(guān)于命名有兩個故事，因此3選about. 4是考查動詞的習慣搭配，name after表示“以……命名”。故正確答案為after. 如果考生并沒有掌握這個詞組也能通過上下文選出正確答案，因為下一句就有同義詞組call after. 5也是考查考生對上下文的把握，人們稱Benjamin Caunt為Big Ben，因此指代Benjamin Caunt應(yīng)該是him. 6考查習慣搭配，in charge of 表示負責，主持（工作）。7是說大家討論、商量鐘的命名問題，因此應(yīng)該是discussion，decision的意思是決定，而fighting 表示爭吵，意思都不妥當。8利用排除法很容易得出正確答案，[A]、[C]都比較容易排除，因為很明顯時態(tài)不對，因此正確答案是[B]。通過分析我們知道，9處應(yīng)該是個狀語，做狀語的一般詞性為副詞而不是形容詞，因此正確答案為suddenly。10考查慣用詞組，from then on 從那時起，from now on 表示從現(xiàn)在起，一般沒有from that on 的說法。

On the way home my wife saw a bookshelf outside a shop. “ 1 it,” she said. “we will 2 it home on the roof-rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.” Ten minutes 3 we were back with the bookshelf. I drove slowly. Other 4 seemed more polite than usual. The driver even stopped traffic to let us through. After a while my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars 5 . Why don’t they overtake(超車)?” Just at that time a police car did overtake, and two officers inside asked us to 6 their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at the church. One of the officers came to me and said, “Do you need any more 7 now?” I said, “You’ve been very 8 . We live just down the road.” He was looking at the bookshelf. “Oh, he said and 9 , we thought it was something else.” Suddenly I understood 10 the police drove here.

【精解】解答該題，需要對短文通讀，了解文章的大概意思。本文的大意是我跟妻子買了一個書架放在車頂上運回家，街上的其他司機們都很禮貌的給我們讓路，后來更有警車給我們開路，最后我才恍然明白警察誤以為出了什么事情才來幫我們。了解了大意之后對每個空白和選項進行詳細分析，選出正確答案。因為第一句話說我跟妻子在回家路上在一家商店外面看到一個書架，因此空白1處應(yīng)該選“buy”，買了之后應(yīng)該是帶回家，2中carry表示“去取回來”，文中是說在“回家路上…”，意思不對，這里應(yīng)該填一個動詞，因此C也不對。3處需要把表示時間的短語補充完整，根據(jù)后半句的意思“我們帶著書架回家”，肯定是在“說完、買后”，因此應(yīng)該是“ten minutes later”表示妻子說完的10分鐘后我們就帶著書架回家了。第4處重點考查考生對上下文的把握，后面的一句話說有個司機甚至停下來給我們讓路讓我們過去，因此前面應(yīng)該是說今天的“司機們”都比平時有禮貌，而不是“警察”或者“清潔工”。看到別人讓路這種不同平常的現(xiàn)象，妻子比較奇怪為什么后面的車不超車上來，因此，5應(yīng)該選“behind”。正說著，一個警車超車上來并讓我們跟在他們的后面穿過擁擠的交通，因此6應(yīng)該選“follow”，“take”和“move”的意思放在這里都不對。7的三個選項中，應(yīng)該結(jié)合上文“警察給我們帶路”是幫助我們，因此是說“還需要幫助”嗎？選help。對主人公老說，警察剛才的做法已經(jīng)非常的“和善，友善”，而不是“禮貌（警車不必要對一般的司機格外禮貌）”或者“聰明”，因此8處應(yīng)該選kind。然后主人公給警察說就住在這條街，警察意識到他們誤解了，因此是9選“l(fā)aughed”，這個時候，主人公恍然大悟，明白為什么警察開車到這里了，10選“how”。
