[例25] Just then a handsome young man,__18__noticed me and the ticket, came towards me with a big smile, （2013年深圳一模）
解析：18．答案为who。 考查学生根据上下文语境和句型结构准确使用关系代词的能力。
[例26] \\_I have changed it in the cinema’s store? （2013年深圳一模）
解析：21．答案为but。考查学生正确使用转折连词的能力。
22．答案为before/until/till。考查学生在语境中正确使用从属连词的能力。 [例27] I wanted to see as much of the city as possible in the two days ___32___I was to return to Guangzhou. (2008年广州一模)
解析：因I wanted to?是一个句子，I was to return?也是一个句子，这两个句子之间没有连词，也没有分号或句号，一定是填连词；根据句意和两句之间逻辑关系，可知“参观这个城市的尽可能多的地方”应是在“返回广州”之前，故填before。
6、若结构较完整，空格后的谓语动词是原形，特别是与上下文时态不一致或主谓不一致时，很可能是填情态动词或表示强调或倒装的助动词(do, does, did等)。
[例1] What is acceptable in one country 31 be considered extremely rude in another. (珠三角五校联考)
解析：句中What is acceptable in one country是主语从句，空格后的be considered是谓语；因其中的be是原形，故空格处必定是填情态动词或助动词does(由语境可知是一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数)；由句意及作者的语气可知，需填表示“可能”的情态动词may。
[例2] He had no time or energy to play with his children or talk with his wife, but he ________ bring home a regular salary.
解析：这是一个由but连接的并列句，由前一分句的谓语动词had是一般过去时可知，后一分句的谓语动词bring也应用一般过去时；可是，bring却用的是原形，既与语境的时态不符，也与主语he不一致，该句不是倒装句，因此，此处必定是填情态动词或表示强调的助动词did；由句意和作者的语气推测，应当填对谓语动词表示强调的助动词did(的确)。
7、由特殊的句式结构来判断空格应填的词。
(1)由it is…that…强调结构形式，判断填it还是that。
[例1] …and 40 was only after I heard she became sick that I learned she couldn’t eat MSG (味精)! (2007年广州一模)
解析：由句式结构可知，本句为强调句，应填it。
[例2] It is the doll__18___my sister loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas.（2012年深圳一模）
解析：18．答案为 that。 考查学生在强调句型中连接词的使用。
(2)由倒装句式判断，是填构成倒装的条件的only, so, neither, nor, never, hardly, seldom, not, until, had等，还是填do, does, did等。
[例] _______with hard work can you expect to get pay rise.
解析：由can you expect to…可知，这是倒装句，根据构成倒装的条件可知，应填副词only，因为“only +状语(with hard work)”放在句首，句子要用倒装。
(3)由it作形式主语或形式宾语的句式判断，空格处是否填it。如：
[例1] …as 32 took them just three minutes to steal paintings by two world-famous artists… (2008年佛山二模)
解析：由句式结构可知，这是it takes, sb. some time to do sth.句型，本句的不定式to steal paintings是真正的主语，空格处填形式主语it。
[例2] Dating sites also make 36 easy to avoid someone whom you are not interested in. (2008年惠州二模)
解析：由句式结构可知，to avoid…是真正的宾语，easy是宾补，空格处应填作形式宾语的it。
(4)so /such…that…句型。如：
[例] This made the goat so jealous__34__it began plotting against (谋划对付) the donkey. (2007年惠州二模)
解析：由句式结构可知，这是so…that…句型，应填that。
(5)more…than… (与其说……不如说……，比……更……)句型。
[例] Cynthia’s story shows vividly that people remember more how much a manager cares 40 how much he pays. (深圳宝安期末)
解析：由句式结构可知，这是more…than…句型，故填that。句意是与经理所给的报酬相比，雇员更铭记于心的是他的关心。
