【名师点睛】

做故事类解题步骤：

1、通读全文，了解大意

越过空挡，通读全文，理顺题意，找出信息词，建立语言的整体感。这是做好完型 填空题的关键。因为完型填空题的特点是着眼于整体理解。文章首句From her lifeguard station at the shallow end of the swimming pool, Jessica noticed clouds gathering in the sky.就可得知这篇文章发生在游泳馆，且与天气变化有关。

2、细读首尾，推测意图

文章的首句是全文的“窗口”，尾句是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔。这样，通过阅 读首句和尾句，就可以了解背景知识，对于空格位置的词语进行大胆分析和判断，以便揣测作者的意图，理顺思路，为后面的答题做好铺垫。

3、综合考虑，瞻前顾后

在通读全文的基础上，根据全文大意，展开逻辑思维，瞻前顾后，分析这一空格处在句中的地位，前后的关系和它所起的作用，认真观察选项，仔细推敲，确定最佳答案。 比如By the time she took a break at 2:30, the wind was picking up and the sky was getting . 有前面知道云开始聚集，所以天变黑了，故选D。The pool manager over the loudspeaker that the pool was closing , due to a severe weather warning.既然天气变了，经理肯定是要宣布赶紧撤离，这合情合理，故选A、C.。

4、复读全文，验证答案

做完题目以后，要立足整体，再次通读全文，从语法入手，检查一下句子的时态、语法、主谓一致、代词的性、数、格以及词语的搭配等是否正确。若有疑问，必须根据文章的中心思想，从意义、语法的角度来仔细权衡，加以改正，弥补疏漏。比如The front door was only a few feet away, the wind was so strong that Jessica and Zack had to their way out of the car and into the house. 前面说只有几步之遥，后面说风太大，可见这是转折关系，故选C。风太大，他们要出去的话，就像抗争一样，用了比喻，故选C。
