22、mes itself. 蜡烛照亮别人，却毁灭了自己。高频考点拾贝完形填空系列结合近几年高考真题可以看出：“完形填空”命题的一个显著特点是以考查实词为主。实词包括名词、动词、形容词、副词和代词等，这些词又统称为信息词。选准这些信息词，考生要从整体上理解文章的内容，在上下文情景中运用所学词汇，不能单纯从语法结构上确定答案。但“完形填空”不同于“阅读理解”。“完形填空”仍然是考查语言和词汇的运用，只不过是考查从语篇层次所设定的语境中综合运用语言的能力，在这一点上，又与着重考查语法和词汇运用的“单项填空”及“语法填空”题型不同。所以，要答好完形填空题，考生必须具备迅速找准主题，理顺文章层次关系，领会作

Her_54_in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined_55_. 本文是记叙文，记述了自己通过加入舞台设计小组和Mrs. Neidl对自己的影响，作者彻底改变了自己，变得不再像以前那样胆小，文章的第三段是个转折，考生在做题的时候可能把握不了这个变化，导致后面的连续失误。
