　　1. A. past B. present C. future D. old
　　2. A. due B. because C. despite D. regardless
　　3. A. chances B. results C. orders D. rates
　　4. A. men B. women C. children D. people

　　完型填空解题思路：
　　1. 借助被选项的特点缩小答案范围，确认答案判断方向;
　　2. 借助空格两端的搭配结构特点判断答案;
　　3. 借助空格所在句子中用词特点猜测答案;
　　4. 借助空格所在句子句意判断答案;
　　5. 围绕文章中心(标题反应内容)猜测答案;
　　6. 借助上下文用词/语意判断答案;
　　Rise in number of Cancer(癌症) Survivors(存活者)
　　1.A.借助搭配结构特点：in the past(在过去)， at present(目前)， in the future(未来)，old不于介词in 搭配使用， 因此首先排除B和D。空格所在的句子使用一般过去时态， 因此空格处所在的时间状语应该与过去的时间相关， 因此A是答案。
　　2.B. 借助搭配：due to/因为; because of/因为; despite是一个独立使用的介词; regardless of/不管， 不顾; 因此答案只能来自B或D。 空格所在句子的前面部分结构说“许多病人现在活的时间更长”， 空格后面的结构说“在病情确诊和治疗方面的改进”， 显然这两个部分在句意上存在因果关系， 因此B是答案。
　　3. D。 借助空格所在的搭配结构“死亡...”判断D((死亡)率)最通顺， 该句的基本结构说“死亡...在过去三十年间下降了”， 把D(比率)放入空格中也很通顺， 因此D就是答案。
　　4.C. 空格前面的结构中出现了“男人”和“女人”，被选项中能与“男人”和“女人”能形成并列的是“孩子”， 因此C是答案。
　　5.A. define...as.../把...定义为....。
　　25、
　　6. A. between B. from C. during D. since
　　7. A. numbers B. periods C. times D. rounds
　　8. A. cancer B. accidents C. flood D. fire
　　9. A. strong B. alive C. healthy D. happy
　　10. A. fix B. lower C. study D. increase
　　标准答案： B,C,A,B,D
　　6.B.from...to.../从...到...
　　7.C. ...数字 + times+ as many/ much/big/ as...(...是...的...倍)， 如： Our house is two times as big as yours.我们的房子是你房子大小的2倍。
　　8.A. 选项A放入空格中与其后面的名词(幸存者)恰好组成文章主题词—-癌症幸存者，因此A是答案。
　　9.B. 空格所在的句子说“研究也发现64%患有癌症的成年人能期望在五年以后还...”， 结合文章主题—癌症幸存者(癌症患者的生存问题)， 综合判断B(活着的)是答案。
　　10.D. 被选项中B和D在词义上相关(正反义词词组)，答案可能出自这两个选项。　空格所在的句子说“政府希望五年的生存率到2010年能...到70%”， 因此D(增加)是答案。
　　26、
　　11. A. order B. old C. younger D. young
　　12. A. very B. rather C. much D. more
　　13. A. little B. least C. less D. better
　　14. A. say B. tell C. speak D. talk
　　15. A. small B. growing C. fixed D. mixed
　　标准答案： A,C,B,A,B
　　11.A. 连词and引导的并列结构在语意色彩上应该一致， 因此首先排除C 和D(它们与and 前面的内容(65岁)形成了语意的对比， 而不是一致)。 空格所在的句子说“报告说大多数的生存者年纪为65岁， ...”， 借助该句意判断A(更年长的)是答案。
　　12.C. 能修饰形容词/副词比较级结构结构的副词是much, too, even, still等， 因此C是答案。
　　补充：
　　more 修饰三个及三个音节以上的形容词/副词， 构成它们的比较级，如：more beautiful, more difficult
　　13.B. 被选项中只有least能与at搭配使用：at least/最少;
　　14.A.空格后面是作宾语的从句， 被选项中能带宾语从句的只有say
　　提示：完型部分的一个常见考点是考察习惯搭配， 所以复习中要注意单词的习惯搭配特点及常见搭配结构。
　　15.B. 借助空格所在的搭配结构(...数字)首先排除D(混合的)。其它三个选项都可以与“数字”搭配， 分别形成：“小的数字/少量的”， “不断增大的数字/ 越来越多的”， “固定的数字/数量不变的”。而选项B放在空格中形成的短语结构(越来越多的癌症幸存者)与文章主题内容(癌症幸存者人数增加)一致，因此B是答案。
