9、有的由相邻不远的一组句子决定， 还有的由语篇内容综合决定。因此， 完形填空设空分为句子层次、句组层次和语篇层次。设空的难度， 从句子层次到句组层次， 再到语篇层次， 依次递增。1句子层次完形填空的设空答案由一个句子决定。其所提供的四个选项往往在语法上都能成立， 但从语境来看， 却只有一个选项是最合适的。例1 I could hardly wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to _ the coffee,
10、 tea and morning goodies.Astart BCookCset Dserve 【解析】 Acook(烹调)与后面的宾语coffee和tea不搭配， 它可以与breakfast搭配；set(摆放)，serve(端饭菜)都必须有服务对象， 通过对全段的理解可知我一早就去厨房，此时家里其他人都还没起床； start(开始动手)正说明一开始的情况。 例2 For hours, the secretary took no notice of them, hoping that the couple would finally become _ and go away.Asurpris
11、ed BdisappointedCworried Dtroubled【解析】 B根据句子中的took no notice和go away可以判断出答案。 例3 I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a“_”， or.ACry BLaughCChat DSigh【解析】 B 根据“Funny”可以判断出答案。 2句组层次完形填空题有的设空仅仅根据一个句子往往解决不了问题， 必须联系上下句， 甚至更多的句子才能得出答案。有的试题需要考生越过句子， 甚至是段落来进行理解和推断。句组层次的题型， 比句子层次
12、的在难度上提高了。 例4 And they asked why I would risk everything for a dream. I made my _1_ to start my own company and leave my secure position after _2_ a regional sales meeting. The vicepresident of our company delivered a _3_ that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what
13、 would they be？” After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a god？” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment.1A.planBPromiseCdecision Dmind2A.attending BJoiningCentering Dholding3A.newspaper BBookCreport Dspeech 【解析】 1.C从空后的to start my own
14、 company and leave my secure(无忧无虑的) position我们知道这是作者作出的“决定”。2A从空后的a regional sales meeting 我们知道作者是参加会议。3D从He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be？” 以及后文我们知道， 他作的是一个“演讲”， 而不是作报告。 3语篇层次完形填空的设空答案若从单句或局部来分析， 所给的四个答案在语法或结构上都是正确的， 若统观全篇， 则只有一个是正确的。语篇层次是完形填空命题的较高层次， 这个层次的题难度
15、较大， 做题时需要具备很强的阅读理解能力以及逻辑推理、分析判断的能力。 例5 Dear Laura，I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program.You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in todays world.Well, Im here to give you _ .So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still exists and lives even
16、 in the everchanging world of me, me, me! I thought youd love to share this story.Ahope BAdviceCsupport DcourageYours，Hilary 【解析】 AYou doubted that such unselfish love would happen in todays world.这句话正体现作者要说明的中心是unselfish love(无私的爱), 而信的结尾又作了肯定回答that kind of love still exists and lives even in the e
17、verchanging world of me, me, me！首尾呼应， 中心明确。把握住这个中心， 对选出正确选项极有帮助。本小题在第一段中体现出对全文的概括， 文中的you持怀疑态度， 作者当然不可能support(支持)、courage(鼓励)；advice(劝告)是在对方没主意的情况下发出的；hope(希望)正是针对怀疑而来， 作者在下文中用事实给you以“希望”， 打消you的怀疑。 例6 Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the_ and have
18、made up their minds to ring the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run day and night through the narrow High Street. .“Not really，” she said, “actually we are proper bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church.I left the church with the sound of t
19、he bells ringing in my ears.”Acollege BvillageCtown Dchurch 【解析】 D该题答案提示一直到最后(I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church.I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.)才出现， 答案选D。阅读理解。阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 One evening in February 2007. A student named Paula Ce
20、ely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . Thats when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the
21、railway tracks. Ceelys near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing. I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the
22、 path of a speeding train, she told the BBC. W ho is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceelys story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, But our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are fille
23、d with small problems. And its not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards. The problem with his argument in the book is that its not clear why he only focuses digital technology, while there may be a number o
24、f other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is somet
25、hing specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesnt say.Its a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures o
26、n car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe its also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between
27、humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology. If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines.

They have probably been fooling us for just as long.( )1.WhatdidPaulaCeelythinkwasthecauseofheraccident?A.Shewasnotfamiliarwiththeroad.B.Itwasdarkandrainingheavilythen.C.
