10、论证的逻辑性等。正因为完形填空题主要考查考生对语境的理解能力，所以空格的前后多有暗示(后文暗示前文的居多)。考生在做题时，一定要从整体上把握文章的内容，弄清文章的结构和文章的内在逻辑关系，结合语境辨析所给选项，从中选出最符合语境的选项。例如上文第3题，结合上下文可知“Growing Hope”这个组织对Mitchell给予了帮助，故第3题要填Grateful，表示他对这个组织非常感激。 .阅读七选五Have you ever noticed that when your friend likes something, you like it, too.

22、eses” became an idiom 10 (common) used by many people.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。在英语中，keeping up with the Joneses意为“与他人攀比”。本文讲述了这个表达的由来。1expression考查名词。空格中所填单词在句中作主语，需用express的名词形式。“keeping up with the Joneses”为expression的同位语。2which考查定语从句。此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，which指代先行词D|S125 a week，并在从句中作主语。3wealthy考查形容词。空格中
23、所填单词在句中作定语，修饰名词neighborhood，故用wealth的形容词形式。4riding考查固定搭配。go riding意思是“去骑马”。5parties考查名词复数。此处party意为“派对”，是可数名词。因为big前没有冠词，所以party需用复数形式。6but考查连词。句意：这就像是一场赛跑，但是这场赛跑最终以Momand 夫妇不再能够负担起这种新生活方式而结束。本空前后两句为转折关系，故用but。7an考查冠词。这里泛指纽约市的一家公寓，故用不定冠词an。8to keep考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式作目的状语。9sold考查动词的时态和语态。这里是描述过去的事，用一般过
24、去时。sell well意思是“畅销”，无被动语态。10commonly考查副词。空格中所填单词在句中修饰动词used, 需用副词形式，故填commonly。tips 语法填空之提示词为动词(1)第一步：分析句子结构，确定句中是否缺少谓语。如果缺少谓语动词，则是考查动词的时态或语态。第二步：看主语与谓语之间是主动关系还是被动关系，以确定用主动语态还是被动语态，同时还要根据语境考虑用哪种时态，同时要注意主谓一致。第三步：如果动词不作谓语的话就要考虑在句子中的成分。例如上文第8题，学生容易直接使用keep，因为情态动词后面用动词原形，但实际上，如果读懂此句就不难发现这里是使用动词不定式作目的状语。
