【方法技巧】“选择型完形填空”的阅读技巧
完形填空题不同于单项选择题, 它所给的是一篇意思完整的短文, 所选的答案处在整段或整篇文章之中。

因此, 做完形填空题时, 一定要将短文从头至尾跳过空格快速通读一遍, 对文章有个全面的了解。

切忌在未了解文章大意前就忙于逐项对空格选填。

做选择型完形填空时, 可以从以下三个步骤入手:
1. 通读全文, 跳开空格了解信息, 初步掌握短文大意。

阅读时, 要重视短文首句, 这个句子往往点明了全文的中心, 对短文理解很有帮助; 如果遇到个别生词, 要么通过上下文或构词法等猜测词义, 要么暂时略过。

2. 细读各句, 抓住短文的关键词, 边读边选初定答案。

这时要细心谨慎, 逐句细读、分析, 善于发现和利用短文中的关键信息, 确定正确答案; 有时所给的选项看似语法正确, 但语境不同, 这就要求每填一空都要语法正确、前后呼应、合乎逻辑, 注意语境。

3. 复读全文, 结合文意瞻前顾后, 检查答案确保无误。

当选完答案之后, 至少要复读一遍, 检查所填选项是否能使短文文意通顺, 语法是否正确, 搭配是否合理等。

如果某个空格处难以确定答案, 可将四个选项一一去试, 直到语句通顺、语法正确为止。

Ⅲ.阅读理解(10分)

I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇的)about what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one! ”she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening
to this“time machine”as she shared her wisdom(智慧)and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. ”
“There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. . . ”
