如何推断后续内容(6)
推断文章后续内容是要求考生根据语篇结构或行文逻辑对文中没有明说的内容进行合理推测，包括推断某一事件可能的结局、下一部分可能涉及的内容、文中人物下一步可能要做的事情等。这类题常见的设问方式有：
(1)The paragraph following the passage will most probably be ________.
(2)Which of the following statement will best continue the first/second/third paragraph?
(3)Which of the following would best complete the passage?
(4)What will the writer probably talk about in the following paragraph?
◆ 技巧点拨
1．把握作者的写作思路。文章可能按照事件发展的经过描写，也可能按因果关系、对比关系来叙述，据此可以对文章的后续内容作出比较科学、合理的推测。
2．把握文章的结构，注意最后一段，特别留意最后几句话。
◆ 活学活用
阅读下列短文，按要求完成读写任务
Recently a man came to me，because he was told that there is fluid(积液) around his heart.After trying many drugs which were of no use to reduce the fluid，the doctor told him the only other choice was to have an operation.He refused because he knew that every illness has a mental cause and that if he had the operation but did not clear the mental cause，the fluid would return.At last，he searched the Internet to find a metaphysical healer(玄学治疗师)，and he found me.
The mental cause of his disease was an experience of breaking up five years ago with several friends，whom he had known for over twenty years.This experience broke his heart.Not knowing how to “mend” his broken heart，his body created a “repair” by surrounding his heart with fluid to protect it from the sad feelings.
Our work focused on reminding him of the feelings of being loved and forgiving his friends.Months later，his hearts was mended and the fluid disappeared.He left my office after the final session with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.
The key is：to create a healthy body，you must be healthy not only in body，but also in mind.
To be mentally healthy，you need to build up strong relationships.Creating strong relationships will insure that you are accompanied by a network of loving persons.It is important for building a support system that lifts your spirits.Even when you are alone，you will not feel lonely or upset.Strong relationships are not spaceships——they are not hard to build.
