　　Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers (地理学家) compare and contrast __71__ places on the earth. But they also __72__ beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a __73__ The word geography __74__ from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth” and graphein, __75__ means “to write.” The English word geography means “to describe the earth.” __76__ geography books focus on a small area __77__ a town or city.

　　2. A. experienced B. determined C. established D. accustomed\=

　　3. A. efficiency B. technology C. art D. perfermance

　　在第 1题中，adapt动词常与“to”搭配，表示“适应”，因此，技巧之一要注意动词或词组的搭配。第2题中，也是习惯搭配。

　　高分秘籍

　　一、通读全文，了解文章大意

　　这是做完形填空的第一步，以快速阅读的方式浏览全文，了解文章大意，抓住主题和关键词，为解题做好准备。通过全文，了解文章大意的好处在于对语篇有一个整体的了解，可以避免断章取义，减少解题时的盲目性。但在迅速浏览全文的过程中，切勿望生词而却步，恰恰相反，碰到不明白的地方应掠过去，等到填空需要细读时再去理会。

　　二、抓住首尾句

　　在阅读时要特别注意文章的第一句和最后一句，因为它们通常是文章的主题句，是全文的中心所在。从第一句中可以窥见作者的写作目的，把握作者的写作思路以及文章将要叙述的内容。而最后一句是作者对文章内容的归纳总结，表明作者的观点和态度，有利于加强考生对文章的理解。

　　三、联系上下文，进行逻辑推理

　　完形填空中有些空格的四个选项从词汇搭配、语法和单句的角度考虑均行得通。但由于文章是一个完整的统一体，词、句、段三者存在着内在逻辑关系，此时，需要在煞定合理的答案。

　　四、运用背景知识解题

　　背景知识在解答填空题时往往具有重要的辅助作用。有些空格不需要花费太多的时间去研究上下文，有些无论从上下文还是从词汇、语法着眼都无法找到解题信息，而运用背景知识也许很快。

　　根据四级考试大纲，完型填空满分占710分的10%。其主要形式是在一篇约300词的文章中留出20个空白，要求考生从每题给出的4个选项中选出最佳答案，使补全后的文章意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。

　　相比较以前，完型填空的阅读量加大了。文章从以前的250词增加到现在的300词。做好完型填空虽然也需要好的英语功底，但是我们可以列出一些方法和要点，供大家参考，提高复习和做题的效率。

　　一、完型填空测试的步骤

　　1． 完型填空题测试点

　　完型填空题测试点主要在语法、词法、理解、综合、背景知识几方面。具体讲：

　　语法题包括词序、结构词（连词、介词的搭配）、动词词形（时态、语态、语气、动名词、不定式、分词）、不定代词的用法、比较级的使用。这类题的选择一般在句子里就可做出正确判断。词汇题一般是实义词，包括名（(词组）、形容词、副词等，不仅包括它们的同义词、近义词，而且还包括词的搭配、习惯用法。选择时要根据上下文，甚至在通篇理解的基础上，往往不能根据一句话做出准确的选择，要防止“见树不见林”的现象。

　　背景知识题主要是考查读者的常识。有时文章中提供的信息并不够，还需要与读者头脑中储存的一般知识信息结合起来考虑，最后做出符合常识的最佳选择。当然，试题的设计者应尽量避免这类题的出现，因为它已超出了语言考查的范围。综合题在英语知识运用（Cloze Test）中也占一定的比例。特别是在近几年考试中，这种题的出现加大了试题的难度，它往往在一道题中对词汇和语法同时进行了考查。

　　2．做完型填空试题的一般方法、步骤

　　(1)细读首句、启示全文。完型填空所选短文一般无标题，但首句通常不设空格，因此它往往是了解文章全貌的“窗口”；因此可判断文章体裁，推测文章大意，对我们理解全文有重要的启示作用。

　　(2)通读全文，掌握大意。先要稳下心来，“硬着头皮”把短文从头到尾快速阅读一至两遍，以从整体上感知全文，掌握大意。跳过空格、不看选项、快速阅读，困难肯定是有的。但要注意文中的暗示，努力找出关键词。如果是故事性文章，那时间、地点、人物就是关键词； 抓住了关键词就抓住了故事的线索，进而理解全文，此时选填就不会是胡猜乱填。

　　可见，通读全文进而掌握大意是做好“完型填空”的先决条件。在掌握了短文大意之后，才可边读短文边选择答案。在阅读过程中，也许有些答案会在脑海中浮现，有些觉得很有把握或是不大，这时最好不要急于动笔，先读完。因为有些空白处，从单一的句子本身来看是难以确定答案的。因此，完型填空难度在于要能大致读懂一篇留有许多空白的短文，这就要求考生具有相当的阅读能力和通过长期大量阅读而形成的语感。

　　(3)瞻前顾后，先易后难。瞻前顾后即前后观察，对空格前后句子作深入分析，确定空格在句中的意思。如果是语法问题，不仅要考虑时态、语态，还要考虑整个词法、句法。如果是语义问题，要从上下文分析，依据短文自身完整的语言环境进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。先易后难就是首先选出那些只根据上下文就能确定的、直接的、明显的答案，诸如固定词组、常见句型等。这就增强了信心，减轻了心理压力，以便集中精力解决难度较大的选项。瞻前顾后，不要忘记首尾照应，首句之重要大家已注意，同时不要忽视尾句的画龙点睛的作用。另外要牢记文章的中心思想，每个空白处的含义与前后句的意思要联系起来理解。文章最前面的空格提出的问题很有可能要到文章的末尾才能找到答案。

　　(4)上下连贯，合乎逻辑。这是从句子结构的角度来考虑。如果空白处位于引导状语从句的位置上，则首先要分清是何种状语从句（时间、原因、条件、结果、目的、让步、比较关系、行为方式……），然后再选择适当的词填空。总之，填入单词后要使句子意思和结构都完整，上下连贯，合乎逻辑。

　　(5)复核全文，消除疏漏。填空全部完成后，还要通读一遍，检查是否前后贯通、内容清楚、主题突出。复读过程中，如果有某些地方意义含混或矛盾，就应该依据文章的中心意思来重新考虑。凡不通之处，必有待推敲的疑点。应从意义和语法两个角度仔细权衡，加以改正，以便弥补疏漏。从语法上，检查一下所完成的句子是否主谓一致：时态、语态是否正确；句词、代词的性、格是否一致；动词、形容词、名词与介词的搭配是否准确无误。对于个别难度较大的空项，可以凭着自己的语感，坚持第一感觉选择的答案。
