一、注意前后语境 考查考生根据上下文提供的信息进行分析及推理的能力。高考的完形填空题中绝大多数属这种题型。有的根据上文、有的根据下文、有的要上下文结合，甚至通篇看完并理解才能作出正确的选择。请看下面广东卷中的一个小题（题中保留了原题中的题号，下同）：
“As a matter of fact, I’ve got someone in the office at this very moment who might ___49___.” She wrote down a number, and held it out to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”
49. A. hire B. accept C. suit D. offer
【分析】根据下文，这个妇女告诉他第二天可以去上班了，可见，她认为作者是适合(suit)的。
二、注意固定搭配
考查考生对常见的英语固定短语和习惯用法的掌握情况。如动词与名词的搭配；动词与介词或副词的搭配；介词与名词的搭配等。这类搭配在高考完形填空中时有出现。请看下面全国卷中的一个小题：
I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them ___44___the telephone.
44. A. with B. by C. from D. on
【分析】表示“通过电话”交谈，用on the telephone 或by telephone，这是习惯搭配。
