点睛:1. 完形填空解题技巧之一:上下联系—寻信息。完形填空中经常会出现前面的信息为后面的空白提供暗示,而后面的信息有可能是前面空白的答案的情况。这时,要联系上下文,寻求信息以确定答案。第18小题,考生可以根据前两句中的“wallet”和第三段中的“wallet”来确定答案。
2. 完形填空解题技巧二:左顾右盼—找搭配。英语中,有些单词词义相近,而句型结构及跟其他词的搭配却截然不同。考生不能单从词义上去辨析,而应审查空白前后的名词、动词、介词或非谓语动词等,比较与各选项的搭配关系,然后确定答案。在33题中,考生可以根据该空前的faith确定搭配关系。如果考生从show来入手,那么就很困难了。
