我们一般认为完型填空题属于送分题，因为考题通常是从当年教材所给出的文章中挑选一篇直接出题。但需注意在考题设置时并不是原封不动将原文搬过来，而出题点和空格的设置都会有变化，这就说明平时在做题时不要背答案，而且要把文章中所有的单词尽可能都弄明白，否则送分题也有可能成为丢分题。因此，我在这里建议大家在复习时要紧扣教材，不要在从外面找不相关的题做，这样是一点帮助也没有的!
完型填空，即cloze,旨在考察综合运用英文能力，考题主要从3个方面设计：1)词法结构 2)语法结构 3)前后逻辑关系。词法上考查实词(动/名/形容词)比例高于虚词(副/介词)。另外还有多义词/短语;短语的固定搭配等等。因此我们在讲课时会逐字逐句帮大家理解每篇文章，体会做该题的技巧。
那么，在大家做完型填空题时最好能在文章标题的指引下，先通读全文，对文章大意有个了解，接下来在细读这个环节中才会有的放矢，而不会像没头苍蝇瞎蒙乱猜。最后一遍是查读，顾名思义，边检查边读，将一些拿不定主意的最后确定下来，这样效果会最佳。
B. 2007年真题讲解。(来自于教材的第七篇，但出题点和空格位置发生较大变化。)
下面的短文有15处空白，请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1个最佳选项。
An Intelligent Car
Driving needs sharp eyes, keen ears, quick brain, and coordination(协调)between hands and the brain. Many human drivers have all(51)and can control a fast-moving car. But how does an intelligent car control itself?
There is a virtual(虚拟的)driver in the smart car. This virtual driver has“eyes,”“brains,”“hands”and“feet,”too. The minicameras(52)each side of the car are his“eyes,”which(53)the road conditions ahead of it. They watch the(54)to the car’s left and right. There is also a highly automatic driving(55)in the car. It is the built-in computer, which is the virtual driver’s“brain.”His“brain”(56)the speeds of other moving cars near it and analyzes their positions. Basing on this information, it chooses the(57)path for the intelligent car, and gives instructions to the “hands”and“feet”to act accordingly. In this way, the virtual driver(58)his car.
What is the virtual driver’s best advantage? He reacts(59).The mincemeats are bringing(60)continuously to the “brain.”It completes the processing of the images within 100 milliseconds.(61),the world’s best driver needs at least one second to react. Besides, when he takes(62),he needs one more second.
The virtual driver is really wonderful. He can reduce the accident(63)considerably on expressways(高速公路).In this(64),can we let him have the wheel at any time and in any place? Experts(65)that we cannot do that just yet. His ability to recognize things is still limited. He can now only drive an intelligent car on expressways.

文章详解：
1. 标题An(冠词，表数量，一个，一种) Intelligent(聪明的、有头脑的、智能的) Car(汽车。这是理工类常涉及考题的!)
2. Driving(动名词做主语，是开车的意思) needs(谓语动词，需要) sharp(灵敏的) eyes, keen(敏锐的) ears, quick(快的) brain(大脑、头脑), and coordination(协调)between hands and the brain.
3. Many(许多的，修饰复数可数名词) human(人的、人类的) drivers have all(所有的，相当于形容词，与前面一句联系，后面应该跟复数概念的名词或代词。)(51)and can control(控制) a fast-moving(复合形容词，快速移动的) car. (51).A.these(指代eyes, ears, brain, hands) B. them(不符合英文说法) C. this D. that
4. But how(如何、怎么样，常用疑问词，回答一般表示方式) does an intelligent car control itself(反身代词，代替car)?
意思：一辆智能汽车如何来控制它自己?这就为下文做了铺垫。接下来，下一段要谈how了。
5. There is a virtual(虚拟的)driver in the smart(= intelligent) car.
这是一个there be句型，某处有某物，这是英文中一个非常常见的句型，需要注意，主语在be动词之后。如: There are three people in my family. (我家有三口人。)
译成中文：在智能汽车里，有一位虚拟的司机。(超纲词一般会给出中文注解。)
6. This virtual driver has“eyes,”“brains,”“hands”and“feet,”too(也，一般放句尾).
意思是：这位虚拟的司机也有眼睛、大脑、手和脚。
7. The minicameras(微型相机，请注意该单词的构成：mini( 微型的、迷你的) + camera(相机))(52)each side(每一边) of the car are his“eyes ”,which(53)the road conditions ahead of it.
52.A.in B. above C. to D. on
分析52：考察介词搭配，应该是：on…side, 如： There are many trees on both sides of the road. (马路两边有很多树。)
which(53)the road conditions ahead of it.这是一个由which引导的非限定性定语从句，修饰前面的先行词eyes,所以后面句子变成了eyes ______ the road conditions(情况) ahead of(在。。。前方) it.
53.A.change(改变、变化) B. observe(观察、观看)
C. improve (改善、提高) D. meet(遇见、接人)
略有一点常识都会判断得出答案B，因为司机开车时眼睛总会注意观察前方的路况。以减少交通意外、事故的发生。
8. They(代词，指代eyes) watch(观看、观察=observe,为了避免词汇重复使用) the(54)to(介词，位于某物的某一方向) the car’s left (左边)and right(右边).
54.A.police(警察部门)B. traffic(交通)C. pets(宠物)D. trees(树)
根据前后两句话的关系，很容易推断出B.
9. There is also a highly(高频核心词，相当于very 非常) automatic(自动化的) driving(驾驶的)(55)in the car.
55.A.button(按钮、纽扣) B. door (门)
C. system(系统、体系) D. activity(活动)
分析：这个空格相对难度较高，在填之前一定要按照我前面介绍的那样，通读前后文，注意句与句之间的关系。实在拿不定主意的可以先放一放，等都完了后在填。
10. It(代替上文空格里的词) is the built-in(复合形容词，内在的) computer, which(引导非限定性定语从句，修饰computer) is the virtual driver’s“brain.”
事实上，在读完这句话后，上个空我们可以确定应该填system.
11. His“brain”(56)the speeds(速度) of other(其它的) moving(移动着的) cars near(在。。。附近) it and analyzes(分析)(认识该词对于填56空很重要!) their(指代moving cars near it) positions(位置).
56.A.calculates(计算出) B. reaches(到达)
C. gathers(聚集、收集) D. reduces(减少)
分析：根据后半句，分析它附近移动着的汽车的位置，可推断出前面应是计算出他们的速度。
