思路解析:做需要阅读文章类的题目时都要先浏览一遍整篇文章,以便了解大意,然后回过头来再仔细推敲每一个空白或选项,要注意上下文的联系。第一个空白后有一句"After doing the shopping",可知这位女士是去购物,所以(1)处应写 do。(2)处答案不难看出应是tea,因为后文指出她是在茶馆,而且提到她去"have tea"。(3)处应该是to,因为我们有短语 look forward to,to 为介词,而空格后正好是动名词形式,语法和意思上都符合。(4)前说到"The waitress felt rather sorry",后面有提到让她和一位先生共用一张小桌子,可见没有地方了。所以此处合适的词应是no。(5)处应填but,是因为这位喝茶的常客"感到很失望",紧接着描写她"非常想喝茶",这之间显然是转折关系。(6)"showed her a table by the front window"这一工作应是女侍者的职责,所以此空应是waitress。(7)根据句意可知,此处应填关系副词引导非限制性定语从句。(8) 因此空之前动词用的是过去进行时态,所以此处应填when (并列连词),表示突然性。(9)pick up 构成词组,也符合此句的意思。(10)根据上文提到的cake可知。
参考答案:(1)do (2)tea (3)to (4)no (5) but (6)waitress (7)where (8)when (9)up (10)cake
黑色陷阱:(1)受go shopping 的影响,此处可能误填 go,因前面说到她"often goes to the beautiful town of Harrogate",后面又出现"After doing the shopping ",所以 go 不好。(5)处有可能误填 and,是因为对空白前后句的关系没搞清楚。(7)处可能因为对定语从句掌握不够好或对句子结构不清而错填或填不出。(8)处可能会误填如then 之类的词。是因为对当时的情景理解不到位,或对此句型不熟悉。
绿色通道:解此类题应先掌握全文大意。再从上下文信息去推测答案。要能发现其中涉及到的常用句型和短语。最后再通读全文,检验答案的正确性。
