本次選取的完型填空題是一道真題，我對比較重要的幾個題目進行了詳細的講解，大家一定要把答案解析仔細的分析一下，最好對於一些大體思路提出一些自己的想法。
還是那句話，作對題目不是目的，記住詞彙、掌握方法才是最終目的。
完型填空練習:
Do you wake up every day feeling too tired, or even upset? If so, then a new alarm clock could be just for you.
The clock, called SleepSmart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits __1__ you to be in your lightest phase of sleep __2__ rousing you. Its makers say that should __3__ you wake up feeling refreshed every morning.
As you sleep you pass __4__ a sequence of sleep states―light sleep, deep sleep and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep―that __5__ approximately every 90 minutes. The point in that cycle at which you wake can __6__ how you feel later, and may __7__ have a greater impact than how much or little you have slept. Being roused during a light phase __8__ you are more likely to wake up energetic.
SleepSmart __9__ the distinct pattern of brain waves __10__ during each phase of sleep, via a headband equipped __11__ electrodes (電極) and a microprocessor. This measures the electrical activity of the wearer’s brain, in much the __12__ way as some machines used for medical and research __13__, and communicates wirelessly with a clock unit near the bed. You __14__ the clock with the latest time at __15__ you want to be wakened, and it __16__ duly (適時地) wakes you during the last light sleep phase before that.

答案:CBAAD BDACB CDDBC ACBDA
答案解析:
1,詞彙搭配題.本題考查動詞wait與介詞構成的詞組的意思的辨析.wait around的意思為呆呆地等,空等.wait for的意思為等待,等候.其它兩個介詞與wait不構成詞組.
2.語境題.本句的意思為這個鬧鐘,叫做SleepSmart,測量你的睡眠周期,並等待你進入你睡眠的最輕的階段,叫醒你______.分析該句話後可知,本句是講這個鬧鐘的作用,由常理可知,必然是在鬧鐘叫醒你之前.所以應該選before.
3. 詞彙搭配題.本題主要是考察意思比較相近的詞彙的辨析.第一組是ensure和assure.ensure意為確保某種行動或動因的結果一定會發生,常用句型為ensure that...保證...,ensure sb.sth.保證某人得到某物.assure指以十分肯定的語氣向別人保證,某事一定會發生.第二組是require和request,這兩個詞都有要求的意思， 但是require與request的區別就在於前者還可表示客觀上的需求，比如說Building requires woods.而request只能表示主觀上的要求，不能表達客觀上的需求.由此分析可知正確答案為ensure.意思為它確保你睡醒時感覺神清氣爽.
4. 詞彙搭配題.本題考查動詞pass與介詞構成的詞組的意思的辨析.pass through的意思為通過,經過,穿過;經歷.pass into的意思為進入.pass on的意思為去世,傳遞.pass about無此搭配.由此可知應該選擇through.這句話的意思為當你睡著時,你經歷一個睡眠狀態的順序-輕度睡眠,深度睡眠,REM睡眠.
5. 語境題.本題的解答有賴於對前一句話的理解.注意到前一句中的a sequence of sleep states,意思為一個睡眠狀態的順序,再結合本句的every 90 minutes.可以確定應該選擇含有重複意思的repeat,即這個睡眠狀態的順序每九十分鐘重複一次.
6和7.語境題.對這兩個空所在的句子進行深入分析:The point in that cycle at which you wake can __6__ how you feel later, and may __7__ have a greater impact than how much or little you have slept.首先用到我們之前講到過的標誌詞法,找到and,and連接的是兩個分句,我們知道and引導的兩個句子只有可能是並列結構或者是遞進結構. 再分析第二個分句,明顯是一個省略句,我們把第二句還原The point in that cycle at which you wake may __7__ have a greater impact than how much or little you have slept.注意到第二句中的a greater impact可知這兩句話應該是遞進的關係,即第一句講某物有影響,第二句又講有更大的影響.所以第一個空應該選擇含有影響意思的動詞,即affect. 又因為知道了兩句話之間的遞進關係,由此可以確定第七題應該選擇表示遞進關係的even,意思為甚至.
8.詞彙搭配題.選項四個詞彙都是比較常見的,將選項四個詞彙帶入空格,可以很容易選出含有意味著意思的mean.我要說一下本題的另外一個作用,在完型填空中常會用到一種叫做復現結構的解題方法,也就是在上下文中重複的講一件事.本句話講在輕度睡眠時被叫醒意味著你被叫醒時會精力充沛.回想到第二題,可以很容易的驗證應該是在叫醒你之前讓你進入輕度睡眠狀態.
9和19.詞彙搭配題.分析該句話SleepSmart __9__ the distinct pattern of brain waves __10__ during each phase of sleep,對前半部分,其主語為SleepSmart,賓語為the distinct pattern of brain waves,由此可確定應該選擇記錄意思的record.後半部分,由所填動詞引導的部分在句中作定語,修飾the distinct pattern of brain waves,其意思為在在睡眠每一個階段____的腦電波,由此可確定應該選擇含有產生意思的produce.
11,詞彙搭配題.本題考查固定搭配equip with,意思為裝備,配備.
12和13.詞彙搭配題.選項12主要考查固定搭配the same...as...,由句子some machines used for medical and research __13__,並考察四個選項,很容易選出含有目的意思的purpose.
14. 詞彙搭配題.分析You __14__ the clock with the latest time的主謂賓,主語為you,賓語為the clock with the last time,所填入的動詞做謂語,即你...鬧鐘,考察選項的四個詞彙,program作動詞時的意思為編製程序,在此處引申為調,即調鬧鐘.
15.詞彙搭配題.本題考查定語從句的先行詞,由空格前的at,很容易選出which.
16. 語境題.本題實際上是考查兩個句子之間的邏輯關係.分析句子You __14__ the clock with the latest time at __15__ you want to be wakened, and it __16__ duly (適時地) wakes you during the last light sleep phase before that.前一句話的意思為你把鬧鐘調到你想要被叫醒的最近的時間,後一句話並且它可以在你所定的時間之前的一個輕度睡眠階段叫醒你.由此可以確定兩句話是遞進關係,所以應該選擇then.
17.語境題,根據句中的invented並考察四個選項,可以確定應該選擇concept,它指形成這個鬧鐘的這種想法.利用復現結構,看到本文的最後一句a company created by the students to develop their idea.中的idea.
18.語境題,本題主要是考察一個時間上的邏輯關係.前面講鬧鐘這個想法被發明,後面講一個朋友抱怨睡醒後很累並且測試的表現很不好.由此可判定鬧鐘的發明應該是在朋友的抱怨之後,即應該選擇after.
19 和29.分析句子「__19__ sleep-deprived people ourselves, we started thinking of __20__ to do about it,」前半句話在句中作狀語,關鍵是他到底做什麼狀語?由前半句中的ourselves,以及後半部分中的we,可以確定前半句話作方式狀語,即用as 引導的方式狀語.本句話是對整個文章的一個總結,結合上下文,空格20應該選擇what,整句話的意思為作為我們這些被剝奪睡眠的人,我們開始考慮關於它該做點什麼了.
