点睛：完形填空题与单项选择题不同，它给出的是一篇意思较为完整的短文。做该题型试题时，首先应跳过空格通读全文，以全文为背景，联系句子的上下文进行推理和判断，从4个选项中选出一项进行试填。考生可以从词义用法、固定搭配、逻辑推理和上下文的联系等方面去考虑。最后应再把全文通览一遍，细心检查所选答案能否使短文上下连贯，前后呼应，词句通顺，使短文意思完整。检查时还应从语法、惯用法、逻辑推理和事情发生的情节等方面进行考虑，以达到准确无误之目的。具体到本题当中，第4小题是考查名词辨析，只有从下文中的句子“The room was full of her ____9____ about the expensive wallpaper.”才能得出正确答案。第5小题是考查连词辨析，需要通过上下语境判断而得出答案，前后句表示转折关系，故答案为D。
