14种技巧解尽高考英语完形填空(13)

　　根据文章的感情色彩解题

　　考生在第一遍通读时，应在掌握文章大意，弄清作者思路的基础上，着重寻找反映语境褒贬性的标志性词汇或句子，这些标志性词汇或句子往往对文章的语境褒贬性起着决定性的作用。如：

　　When Ed first phoned and ___37___(suggested) we play, I 1aughed quietly, figuring on an ___38___(easy) victory. After all, Ed’s idea of ___ 39___ (exercise) has always been nothing more ___40___(effort-making) than lifting a fork to his mouth. ___41___(As long as) I can remember, Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family, and ___42___(strangely) proud of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers.

　　【解析】读这一部分，我们明显看到作者是看不清Ed的，用词有laughed, victory, nothing more than, least fit, strangely, big stomach等。在这样的描述下，人们就会很容易地想到， “我”与Ed比赛，那简直易如反掌(an easy victory)，在“我”眼中他那么差，然而他却以自己为自豪，我们怎么会觉得不奇怪(strangely)呢?因此从对人物反面的描述，我们得出这些答案就不难了。

　　I was so surprised that I was ___47___(speechless). My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. ___48___(As a result), at the point in our game when I’d have predicted the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was ___49___(instead) 7 to 9 and Ed was 50 (leading).

　　【解析】surprised 一词道出了情况的转折，我们可以看到这时作者用词的转变。made an effort，get into shape 等这些褒义词的使用对这些空的选择起到了很好的引导作用。speechless, instead 都是由惊讶得出的。

　　The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population. ___1___ homelessness has reached such proportions that local government can’t possibly ___2___. To help homeless people___3___independence, the federal government must support job training programs, ___4___the minimum wage, and fund more low-cost housing.

　　考生要看懂第一话，为了帮助the homeless，所以选项必须全部支持这个主题，要选择与主题态度相关的词。
