——瞻前顾后话语境
根据上下文提供的信息进行分析及推理的能力是学生应该形成的一种能力, 高考中的完形填空题中绝大部分属于这种题型。有的根据上文, 有的根据下文, 有的要上下文结合甚至通篇看完并理解才能做出正确的选择, 所以学生做此类完形填空题时, 一定要兼顾上下文语境。
1. 答案在上句语境中发现
When the Miami Airport was under construction in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2, 500 square meters of dirt paved so the cars could be on site when the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away! No other local paving company wanted to do the job, stating it couldn’t be done in such a ________ time.
A. short B. vacant C. initial D. regular
分析: 为什么没有公司想做? 根据上句语境“离官方规定的时间仅有10天”可知任务很紧, 说明这项任务不可能在“短”时间内完成。short符合语境。
2. 答案在下句语境中推知
有时孤立看留空格句子, 好像答案很难推出, 但联系下句意思, 就会发现问题。
Our next challenge was to keep the rock mixture ________ enough. All the available water wagons were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one.
A. cold B. wet C. loose D. clean
分析: 从下文“需要洒水车”可知“既然是洒水车”一定会让……“湿”, 这里是要让“the rock mixture wet enough”。故B符合语境。
