利用语法分析解题
完形填空虽然以语境填空为主,但也有部分考查语法项目的题目。对于这类题,考生可以利用平时所学的词汇知识,分析单词(组)的使用范围、动词的及物和不及物,并利用句子结构、句式特点等知识全面衡量所有选项排除干扰。如:
___51___do you suppose he asked for them?
51. A. What B. How C. Who D. Which
【解析】本题中,do you suppose为插入成分。he asked for them是一个相对独立和完整的句子,因此空格处应该用副词How来修饰谓语动词asked,而不能用代词What, Who或 Which。
___8___ I had been born in the 16th century, I would have had no job.
8. A. Because B. While C. If D. Since
【解析】根据后面的I had been born in the 16th century可知这只是个假设,是一个虚拟语气的条件句。故前面要用if引导。
