点睛：完形填空考查的是单词、语法、句式等的综合能力，对于每个学生来说都是难点。 在所给的每篇文章中都有一定量的生词，要通过语法关系，猜测整句句义，然后做题。 这就要求你既要有足够的单词量，还要有对整句的把握能力。首先花几分钟进行整体的阅读，弄清楚时间，人物及情节。不提倡看一个做一个，平时的学习中要注意多积累固定句型，考试时才能准确判断出相应的知识点。如果是考查名词，动词的词义辨析，一定要结合上下文去找出相关的信息，切记要有耐心，如第2小题的答案age是根据上文“I'm Rose. I'm 87 years old”推断出来的，考查连词要结合上下句，判断是并列关系，转折关系或因果关系等，如第9小题。
