【解題步驟】
(一)速讀全文,把握大意,粗選答案。
1.速讀全文,首先判斷本次完形填空屬于論說(shuō)文體,首段沒(méi)有空格,它往往就是文章的中心,它體現(xiàn)的觀(guān)點(diǎn)往往決定了全文的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。從本文首段可以看出作者重點(diǎn)論述對(duì)于年紀(jì)大一些的人的教育和再學(xué)習(xí)的問(wèn)題。又根據(jù)每一段首句提供的信息,可以判斷本文的主題為教育。闡述了教育對(duì)于每個(gè)階段的人的重要性和終身學(xué)習(xí)的意義。
2.順手牽羊,粗選答案。
75. 在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,meet the new need表示“滿(mǎn)足新的需要”,desire愿望,欲望;realm界,領(lǐng)域,范圍; intention意圖,意向,目的。均不能與meet搭配。所以只有B項(xiàng)正確。
76. 在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,與education buget只有portion,所以此句的主語(yǔ)構(gòu)成“教育預(yù)算的大部分”!菊Z(yǔ)境詞匯題】
79. more often than ever“很頻繁地,比以往任何時(shí)候都”。【固定搭配題】
82. transition名詞,表示過(guò)渡,轉(zhuǎn)變,變遷。常用的搭配transition (from sth.) (to sth.)表示從……過(guò)渡到……【固定搭配題】
