e)詞組、習語和習慣用法:對於這一類選擇題,不能利用語法知識進行判斷。因此平時的日積月累就十分重要。只有熟悉其意義和用法,才能準確迅速地做出判斷。識別短語注意搭配一類短語是由動詞+介詞,或動詞+副詞構成,在現代英語中,這類詞組很多而且實用性強、結構簡練,使用靈活,表達生動,如break the ice,look forward to,keep an eye on,catch one’s eye等;還有一類使用極廣的是介詞短語,如with regard to,at the age of等。如果平時能注意詞組、短語的整體記憶,掌握它們的搭配規律,在做完形填空時就能得心應手,減少失誤,提高完形填空的命中率。
Many people find that regular physical activity gives them an unexpected benefit. They sleep better and wake up feeling more -61-(refreshed),in part due to increased amounts of deep sleep. Deep sleep may play a role in the body restoring itself -62-(physically),as opposed to REM(rapid eye movement) or dreaming sleep. Researchers have found that physical exercise,especially -63-(done) in the afternoon or early evening,produces more 64(deep sleep) early in the night. -65-(Exercise)can also help you get a better night’s sleep in a number of indirect ways. The relaxation and tiredness -66-(caused) by exercise can improve sleep.
Exercise encourages weight loss and also may -67-(relieve) depression. Exercising later in the day can also help delay the -68-(nighttime) drop in your body’s temperature. The -69-(benefits) of exercise are especially important for older people,-70-(since) exercise has been shown to increase the amount of sleep senior adults get in a night and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. But be sure you finish exercising at least 4 hours before bedtime---working out later than that could leave you too excited to fall asleep easily.

解析:瀏覽一下本篇短文,我們就知道這篇短文的主題句就是:Many people find that regular physical activity gives them an unexpected benefit. 因此我們就知道這篇文章是談論鍛鍊身體方面的。下文的填空就是關於這一方面的。我們在上文已經談到“完形必須服從完義,單句必須服從段落,段落必須服從全 文,局部必須服從全局”的解題原則。
在這一篇短文的第一段,我們從physical activity和in the body得到啟示,62題應該填a. physically;從第二句和第三句的deep sleep得到啟示,64題應填c. deep sleep; 62與64題的做法很典型地體現了“完形必須服從完義”,“單句必須服從段落”的原則。而61與63題則根據“瞻前顧後,尋找關聯”的原則就可以解出,一個人如果sleep better,那么醒過來就會感到refreshed,我們do exercise而不是made,functioned,或conducted exercise。我們在做65題時,可以從第一段和第三段得到啟示,第一段提到兩處‘physical activity’ 和‘physical exercise’,而第三段有5處exercise或exercising,結合第二段的意義,就不難看出65題應填a. Exercise. 再看69題,從單句的語法上看,四個選項都可以填進去,從單句的意義上看,benefits,ways,places三個選項都可以填進去,但從全文來看,特別是文章第一句的‘regular physical activity gives them an unexpected benefit’,就只有b. benefits填進去才對,而且是唯一的答案。65題和69題的做法體現了“完形必須服從完義”,“段落必須服從全文,局部必須服從全局”的原則。
