　　速读全文，把握大意，粗选答案。

　　1.速读全文，首先判断本次完形填空属于论说文体，首段没有空格，它往往就是文章的中心，它体现的观点往往决定了全文的观点。从本文首段可以看出作者重点论述对于年纪大一些的人的教育和再学习的问题。又根据每一段首句提供的信息，可以判断本文的主题为教育。阐述了教育对于每个阶段的人的重要性和终身学习的意义。

　　2.顺手牵羊，粗选答案。

　　75. 在四个选项中，meet the new need表示满足新的需要，desire愿望，欲望;realm界，领域，范围; intention意图，意向，目的。均不能与meet搭配。所以只有B项正确。

　　76. 在四个选项中，与education buget只有portion，所以此句的主语构成教育预算的大部分。【语境词汇题】

　　79. more often than ever很频繁地，比以往任何时候都。【固定搭配题】

　　82. transition名词，表示过渡，转变，变迁。常用的搭配transition 表示从过渡到【固定搭配题】

　　85. a sense of identity 自我认同感，是固定搭配。【固定搭配题】

　　逐句细读，答易留难，各个击破。

　　67. B)。本题四个选项都可以与on连用，比较难选择，留到最后仔细考虑。【语境词汇题】

　　68. D)。分析此句，主语中心词approach方式，这句话主干表达的意思为现在这种方式不足以适应挑战。，所以选项中只有D项符合此义要求，其他选项均与此义相去甚远。【语境词汇题】

　　难点点拨 干扰选项是C项，essential这个单词看起来难度很大，意思是重要的，必要的，很多考生一看见这个词认为这个答案可能就是它，具有很大的迷惑性，根据句意，只有D项符合句意要求。

　　69. A)。根据复现原则，本段句首出现形容词current表示现在的，现行的，此题选项中currently副词表示如今，当下，所以此选项很可能就是A项，根据句子表达的意思以及上下文语义逻辑关系，只有A项正确。【语境词汇题】

　　70.C)。此题有一定的迷惑性，这个迷惑性出现在B项和C项，B项是表示障碍，C项挑战。根据原词复现原则，上一段中出现名词challenge挑战，此题选项中出现challenges, 所以此选项很可能就是C项。而且从含义上来说，接下来这一段所讲的三点内容也不属于具体的障碍，只是说我们面临的一个挑战，面临的问题，所以我们这里面要选C。【语境词汇题】
