第一句提到了暴风雨,那么第一个空格应该是天空变暗(dark),闪电过后,接着(followed by)就是雷声(thunder),一阵大风刮进房间,我的宝贵的资料(flew)到了空中,我就跳起来去抓(catch)那些资料,但有些飘(sailed)到了窗外,等我跑出去时大点的雨滴开始下下来了(fall)。
我一回到房间,雨(rain)就下得很大了,我挣扎(fought)着去关窗,我关上了窗,但全身湿透,就在此时,我听到后院传来一声响声(sound),一棵树断了。
从以上分析可以看到,在拿到一篇文章后,最好先浏览一遍,即使有信息空缺,有些可以凭自己的常识来补全,实在不行的可借鉴选项,补全信息,读完全文,再来填空,这样可以让自己有一种居高临下的感觉,能更好地把握全文,可免于掉入选项中的一些“陷阱”。假如考试拿到题目就做,有可能一开始就进入了理解误区,因而导致整篇文章的理解错误,这就是为什么有些考生反映有时做得蛮好有时却失分很严重。
严格按照解题的三个步骤去做,对提高完型填空的解题能力大有好处。
