（三）具体操作中应注意的问题
1. 看清上下文，找准定位词
充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。例如：
1) Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is veryvery＿＿＿＿＿.
A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous
根据转折连词but的提示，所填入的词应与shallow相反，因此答案为A。
2) Mrs O’Neill asked＿＿＿＿＿questions and she didn’t scold us either.
A. no B. certain C. many D. more
and是一个并列连词；either为副词，用在否定句或否定词后加强语势，由此可以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词，因此答案是A。
2. 理顺逻辑，寻求搭配
注意固定的搭配，包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的搭配等，同时要根据内容选择正确的短语。例如：
Here’s a fellow who just walked into a bank and helped himself＿＿＿＿＿so much money.
A. for B. by C. to D. of
表示“自取，随便拿”这个意义的短语是help oneself to…故答案为C。
3. 扎实基础，搞清辨异
Soon I heard a＿＿＿＿＿like that of a door burst inand then a climb of feet.
A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout
选项中的四个词都表示不同的声音，但B，C，D项的三个词都是指从嗓子里发出的声音，而sound则表示各种各样的声音。因此答案是A。
4. 看清执行者，确定所选词
And video cameras can be used to＿＿＿＿＿people’s actions at home.
A. keep B. make C. record D. watch
句中动作的发出者是video cameras因此答案是C，意思是“记录”。
5. 寻求上下逻辑，从容确定关系
It has been many years since I was last in London＿＿＿＿＿I still remember something that happened during that visit.
A. and B. for C. but D. as
根据句前的many years和句后的still remember答案应选表示转折的连词but.
6. 了解生活常识，确定相关知识
(Immediately)the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the＿＿＿＿＿hospital.
A. animal B. biggest C. plant D. nearest
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
