1. 通讀全句，判斷是否為定語從句。

4. 確定從句中所缺的成分，從而做出正確的選擇。

5. 將選項填入句子中，看語意是否通順。

6. 在此過程中，還要注意標點符號的位置，以及并列連詞but, and的作用。

根據(jù)文化背景常識：①利用英語國家的文化背景知識，英語國家的文化背景知識包括英語國家的風俗習慣、歷史事件、地理位置等。我們做題時若能積極調(diào)動自己的文化背景知識，注意中西文化各方面存在的差異，將會大大簡化復雜的分析與判斷過程，選出正確的答案。②結(jié)合生活常識，避免常識性錯誤。完形填空文章的內(nèi)容經(jīng)常與日常生活相關(guān)，因此當我們對語言的把握不準確時，可充分利用社會知識和科普常識來幫助判斷，這就要求我們平時既要多體驗生活，又要博覽群書。

例1：      Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They are very busy working to   support   the family. They don’t act in the  romantic  ways that I read in books or I se on TV.      Flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.

A. Taking            B. Passing           C. Buying            D. Sending

[分析]利用文化背景知識解答。眾所周知，Valentine’s Day為西方國家的情人節(jié)，這一天情人之間、夫妻之間一般是要互送鮮花來慶祝的。因此借助這一文化背景知識很快可以選出答案。

例2：Roberta appeared on the stage. She took a deep breath and began to  speak . Now she was Portia, a strong-willed        in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. The theatre was filled with people. She was speaking with a power she had never before experienced, the words flowing  smoothly  from her.

A. member          B. actress             C. player              D. character

[分析]本題考查文化背景知識。莎士比亞為英國文學巨匠，他的作品人們耳熟能詳，尤其是《威尼斯商人》更是廣為人知。其中主要人物有樂于助人的安東尼奧，貪婪自私的夏洛克，還有機智、漂亮的鮑西亞。根據(jù)文意可知此題答案。

例3：Fire stations are strangely exciting places. In the normal course of events the great doors are shut, and behind them, the fire-engines wait peacefully, brightly cleaned and lovingly cared for. But the  moment  the fire alarm sounds, the huge doors open immediately and the firemen come       .

A. fleeing            B. laughing                   C. jumping          D. rushing

[分析]考查生活常識。每當有火警的時候消防隊員都是快速出動，此處用rushing表示方式，修飾come。Fleeing“逃逸”，laughing“笑”，jumping“跳”，均與語境不符。

例4：It was New Year’s night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep____ sky.

A. grey                B. blue                 C. black               D. cloudy

[分析]考查生活常識。晚上天空的顏色一般是深藍色。
