完形填空——同义复现法
同义复现是英语中常见的一种现象。为强调某一意思, 但又不想重复使用某个词或短语。在完形填空题中, 同义词或同义短语的位置多半比较靠近, 很容易找到, 所以同义复现法是很好的解题技巧。不需要过多的推理, 只需确定是哪里使用了同义复现, 然后从选项中找出与之相符合的一项即可。
题号 原文内容 选项

We all have some keys in life, some visible and others invisible. Visible keys play an important part in our life, making our life convenient and comfortable. If we lose them by accident, we tend to get into a mess.
The same is true of invisible keys in the course of our study and growth. Teachers’ guidance is of great benefit to our gaining knowledge. Parents’ words of comfort and encouragement help us build up confidence. With the help of our friends, we’re likely to overcome difficulty and succeed. We feel greatly honored to have access to these invisible keys, which are priceless gifts in our daily life.
In a word, a key is to a man what water is to fish. Whether the keys are visible or invisible, they are well worth treasuring. Only by making full use of them can we open the door of success and make great contributions to our society.
