One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air?conditioned and I couldn’t face my 71 apartment. Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the 72 between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the 73 every time she leaned over to talk to him, 74 he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such 75 in a public place? I thought the movie would be good for my English, but 76 it turned out, it was an Italian movie. 77 about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and 78 on my popcorn ( 爆玉米花). I’ve never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, 79.
After a while I heard 80 more of the romantic?sounding Italians. I just heard the 81 of the popcorn crunching ( 咀嚼) between my teeth. My thought started to 82. I remembered when I was in South Korea (韩国), I 83 to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean—I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, 84 I saw him again in New York speaking 85 English instead of perfect Korean. He didn’t
even have a Korean accent and I 86 like I had been betrayed.
When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 87 we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 88 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to 89 in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it 90 out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We’ve been speaking Korean at home ever since.

【答案解析】：
71.B 本题考查考生理解能力。在夏天，公寓里没有空调，所以应该很热。故答案为hot。
72.D crack指“裂缝”，blank指“空白”，break指“破裂，休息”，opening指“空缺，口子”。这里指通过两个人头之间的空隙来看电影，应该用opening。
73.D 这里考查词汇和理解。原文表示前面人头位置一变，自己就要改变角度看电影。A指“方面”，B 指“视野”，C指“空间”。因此，应该选择D.angle。
74.C 联系上题，“男的侧身过去与女的说话”与“女的侧身吻男的”两者之间应该是选择关系，所以答案为or。
75.C 本题是对上文中男女两人的所作所为的描写，作者不明白为什么美国人那么喜欢在公开场合展示情人间的亲密。只有C指两个人之间的亲密。
76.D 这里不是状语从句，而是定语从句，表示“正
如接着自己所看到的一样”，具有此功能和意义的是as。
77.B 从时间关系上来看，作者是看了一个小时后才决定放弃电影的，所以答案为after。
78.A 本题考查固定搭配concentrate on，表明作者放弃看电影，而开始专心吃爆米花。B chew on指思考某事情。
79.C It tasted pretty good与上文的I’ve never understood why they give you so much popcorn之间应该是转折关系，所以答案为though。
80.C 从下文只能听到嚼玉米花的声音判断本题答案为no，表示听不到电影中的浪漫声音。
81.B 参照上题，嚼玉米花的声音应该用sound表达。
82.B 从下文中自己所想可以判断这里表示自己的思绪开始游荡，能表达此含义的是wander。wonder 表示“诧异，纳闷”，depart表示“离开”，imagine表示想象，都与上下文不符。
83.D 叙述自己过去的事情，又表示经常性行为，应该用used to。
84.A 从下文的betray可以判断，在作者发现Kojak说得一口流利的英文之前一直把对方当作朋友，
四个选项中能表示“到某时为止就不……”的是until。
85.B 参照上文，这里表示作者所喜欢的Kojak到美国之后不再说韩语，而学说英语。与perfect语言相对的应该是不正规语言，应该是informal，其他artificial(人工的，假的)、practical(实际的)都与perfect 不对立。
86.A 本题考查的是固定搭配feel like，表示自己看到这种情况的感觉。
87.D 本题答案为once，表示“我们一开始学习英语，母亲就提出了一个建议，建议我们在家里都说英语”。
88.B 此处考查上下文理解。从we all seemed to avoid each other 与we sat at the dinner table in silence 来看，答案应该是quiet，即“屋里十分安静，大家都避免和对方说话”。
89.D 此处考查固定搭配和词汇。prefer A to B表示相较于B，更喜欢A。而从各选项来看，可以判断答案为speaking，其他都要带宾语。
90.C 原句表示：“母亲试着说点英语，结果是错误百出，我们都禁不住发笑。”work out表示“解决，设计出，计算出”，come out表示“出来，出现，真相大白”，get out表示“逃脱，离开”，make out表示“填
写，理解，辨认出”。四个短语，能表达结果含义的是come out。

大学英语四级完型填空答题步骤及技巧 答题步骤 首先,我们来看完型填空的解题步骤 （一）通读全文，了解文章大意 阅读理解是做Cloze的基础, 因此应该在对全文有了较全面的了解的基础上, 再开始做选择题, 切忌为了节约时间, 在未掌握大意的基础上“拿起来就做, 见空就填, 边填边理解”.那样做的结果, 不仅不能够节约时间, 而且会因为只考虑到所填的词在短语或句子内是否可行而忽略了整篇文章的连贯和结构, 造成选择错误. 因此,速读全文要一气呵成，尽管有空格、 生词或不明白的地方，仍要快速读下去。读时要注意找出关键词、中心词，划出某些代表 人物和情节的词，以便于形成思路。 当然, 由于考试时间有限，只能用略读法(skimming)将全文快速浏览一遍，明确文章的主题、 体裁。尤其要认真阅读全文的第一句，因为第一句都是一个没有空格的完整的句子，对后 文的重要提示。 （二）抓住首尾句 在阅读时要特别注意文章的第一句和最后一句，因为它们通常是文章的主题句，是全文的 中心所在。从第一句中可以窥见作者的写作目的，把握作者的写作思路以及文章将要叙述 的内容。而最后一句是作者对文章内容的归纳总结，表明作者的观点和态度，有利于加强 考生对文章的理解。 （三）联系上下文，进行逻辑推理 完形填空中有些空格的四个选项从词汇搭配、语法和单句的角度考虑均行得通。但由于文 章是一个完整的统一体，词、句、段三者存在着内在逻辑关系，此时，需要在上下文中寻 找有关的提示或暗示，对文章的情节进行逻辑分析，抓住主要语言信息的词语，理顺句与 句之间的关系，确定合理的答案。 （四）逐题选择答案 浏览全文之后，开始进入逐题做答阶段，运用查读法(Scanning)，对所有选择项从语法、 搭配和语篇等方面进行反复推敲，从而选出最佳答案。做题原则是瞻前顾后，灵活答题。“瞻前顾后”，即先读所填词的句子，回顾上一句，兼顾下一句。如果一句中有两个空白待 填，在初定答案时要“双管齐下”，在两处同时试填，然后通读全句，确定答案。答题方法：1）择优法：根据文章及结构边读边填，如果能够立刻判定最佳答案的，不必再去逐个考证
