15. A. and then B. and so C. even if D. but if
【解析】本题考查了相似句型的对比关系。空格处要填的部分与前部分if he did not know them形成对比，这句话的大意是说：如果店主认识那些顾客了，就会询问他们的家庭或是开些玩笑。 11. 利用平行结构解题
平行结构指的是结构相同或相似，意思密切关联，语法一致的句子或词组成串排列的语言现象。这些结构的形式整齐匀称，内容联系紧密。
Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is___51___for children to work at home in their free time. ___52___, they argue that most teachers do not___53___ plan the homework tasks they give to pupils.
51. A. unnecessary B. uninteresting C. unfortunate D. unimportant 52. A. Nevertheless B. However C. Therefore D. Moreover 53. A. considerably B. favorably C. properly D. pleasantly
【解析】排比结构由Many people think that...They say that...they argue that...所组成。在意义上表现了人们(学生家长)对学生课业负担过重的抱怨。首先把握结构所体现的“主题” —— 抱怨作业太多。其次，理解三句之间在表达意义上的递进关系。即：作业过多“too much homework”;所以，课余学生在家做作业是没必要的“unnecessary”;不仅如此，教师对作业的设计也不合适“not properly”。故答案分别为A、D、C。 Companies with low accident rates plan their safety programs, work hard to organize them, and continue working to keep them ___42___ and active. 42. A. alive B. vivid C. mobile D. diverse
【解析】因空格处与and后面的active是平行的，所以答案为与active意思相近的alive。 12. 利用暗示和对应解题
此类题型对文章故事情节发展线索的逻辑考查是重点。暗示与上下对应的思维方法，是突破此类完形填空最关键的思维方式。做题时要有全局观念，进行连贯性思维，把每个空白处的含义与前后句的意思联系起来理解，进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。难选之处前后通常多有暗示，这种暗示多为后面暗示前面。如： ...he would join student groups to discuss a variety of ___47___: agriculture, diving and mathematics. 47. A. questions B. subjects C. matters D. contents
【解析】此题后面的冒号部分有提示：agriculture，diving and mathematics是他们谈话讨论的话题，由此可得出本题的答案为B。
Everybody moved quickly in order to ___6___ the seats they wanted. I was ___7___ to get a seat near the tail, but… 6. A. fetch B. hold C. keep D. get
【解析】本题的答案可由后面的get a seat得出。 13. 根据文章的感情色彩解题
考生在第一遍通读时，应在掌握文章大意，弄清作者思路的基础上，着重寻找反映语境褒贬性的标志性词汇或句子，这些标志性词汇或句子往往对文章的语境褒贬性起着决定性的作用。如：
When Ed first phoned and ___37___(suggested) we play, I 1aughed quietly, figuring on an ___38___(easy) victory. After all, Ed’s idea of ___ 39___ (exercise) has always been nothing more ___40___(effort-making) than lifting a fork to his mouth. ___41___(As long as) I can remember, Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family, and ___42___(strangely) proud of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers.
【解析】读这一部分，我们明显看到作者是看不清Ed的，用词有laughed, victory, nothing more than, least fit, strangely, big stomach等。在这样的描述下，人们就会很容易地想到，“我”与Ed比赛，那简直易如反掌(an easy victory)，在“我”眼中他那么差，然而他却以自己为自豪，我们怎么会觉得不奇怪(strangely)呢?因此从对人物反面的描述，即可得出答案。
I was so surprised that I was ___47___(speechless). My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. ___48___(As a result), at the point in our game when I’d have predicted the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was ___49___(instead) 7 to 9 and Ed was 50 (leading).
【解析】surprised 一词道出了情况的转折，我们可以看到这时作者用词的转变。made an effort，get into shape 等这些褒义词的使用对这些空的选择起到了很好的引导作用。speechless, instead 都是由惊讶得出的。 The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population. ___1___ homelessness has reached such proportions that local government can’t possibly ___2___. To help homeless people___3___independence, the federal government must support job training programs, ___4___the minimum wage, and fund more low-cost housing.
要看懂第一句话，为了帮助the homeless，所以选项必须全部支持这个主题，要选择与主题态度相关的词。 14. 综合利用各种线索解题
从字里行间寻找能够利用的线索。如书写和形态变化线索(graphic and morphological clues)、词汇线索(lexical clues)、句法线索(syntactical clues)、社会文化线索(socio-cultural clues)，并根据有关的线索进行猜测，作出合理的判断。如：
And the clerk confirmed that his plane was leaving at nine o’clock three days from that day… Since he was ___44___ in three days, Andy didn’t lose anytime. 44. A. moving B. returning C. staying D. leaving
【解析】单从这句来看，考生实难判断出正确答案，但如果结合前文，就可以找到设空部分的解题线索——上文中出现的词汇leaving。故本题答案为D。
有时题目的答案在短文中就有出现，如能找出线索，解题就易如反掌。如：

30 we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very 31 about what had happened to the elderly couple.
