例如:
Getting enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for excess vitamins. Many people ____ believe in being on the "safe side" and thus take extra vitamins. (96)
A. nevertheless B. therefore C. moreover D. meanwhile
六.从逻辑推理、常识等角度考虑
解答完型填空题时,有时文章中提供的信息还不够,还需要考生把符合常识的一些知识信息结合起来考虑,最后选出符合常识的最佳答案。因此,考生的知识范围越广,对文章的理解就越容易,整体上知道所选短文在说什么,那么局部上的每一个空填起来也会得心应手。例如:
(Immediately) the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the_____hospital.
A. animal B. biggest C. plant D. nearest
分析: 在这样的紧急情况下,人们的第一个反应是到最近的医院就医,因此答案为D。
七. 排除法
如果不能很有把握地直接看出某一道题的答案,可以把排除法和词汇、语法分析结合起来运用,从而缩小选择的范围,提高答题准确率。例如:
Specialists in history and economic, have ____ two things
A manifested B approved C show D speculated
分析:这段中提到的历史及经济学家们要提出事实来支持自己的观点。Manifest指表明,显示,主语是某事或某物,例:the photograph manifested the truth of what she said.
approve指批准,赞同; speculate指思索,推测,不及物动词,与on连用。从词义和搭配上看,以上三个词都不符合,所以排除。
