完形填空技巧—— 再次阅读,检验答案 完形填空题的答题过程首先是一个阅读的过程。在整个答题的过程中,需要不断地阅读文章,有些句子和段落甚至需要阅读四至五遍,从各个不同的角度来进行推理,才能确保答案的正确。 初选答案之后,可能会留下一些空格拿不定主意没有填,还有一些虽然填了,但没有把握。因此,有必要再次阅读文章,从语义和逻辑的角度重新审视全文,检验答案,看其是否条理清晰,符合逻辑。与此同时,还应根据上下文对有疑问或把握不准的答案进行推敲,将未填的空格全部补齐。 最后,最好把答案代进文章中再通读一遍,甚至可以默默地将短文译为汉语,像说故事一样把文章讲给自己听一遍。如通顺流畅,则答案基本正确;如连自己都觉得讲不下去,则答案必有问题,要立刻进行修改,最终达到全文意思、语法、结构等各方面的一致和完美。 ④The way was blocked,so I went by an alternative road. 这条路被挡住了,因此我走了另一条。 【即境活用5】 You have the________of living in the city or living in the countryside.
