【学法指导】

1.在做完形填空时一定要注意and/but/so/besides/however/furthermore/moreover/in addition/what’s more等词汇、固定结构的运用。它们连接了上下文，起着承上起下的作用。像but（但是）、however（然而），表示转折，这说明前后的内容相反或相对。把握住这一点，做起题来就会得心应手。比如59小题，A考查并列连词。A. but但是；B. then那时；C. so所以；D. for因为（并列连词）。句意：虽然腿还是肿的，但我是在行走了，而且我有我的脚！根据句意，这里是但是，but(表示转折)。then然后；so所以；for因为。根据语境可知，答案选A。

2.上下文对照，抓关键词。

解完型填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要阅读下句或者若干句才能明白。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。比如第50小题， A考查动词。A. change改变；B. bother干扰；C. help帮助；D. happen发生。句意：当听见大夫们提到有可能截去我脚的时候，一切都会改变。根据句意，这里是改变。（would+动词原形，表示对过去预测，即过去将来时）。根据语境可知，答案选A。
