例如,The speaker who does not have specific words in his working vocabulary may be __49__ to explain or describe in a __50__ that can be understood by his listeners.(1994)
50. [A] case [B] means [C] method [D] way
我們看一看50題,可以很容易發現四個選項都是名詞,很顯然,這是一道讓我們選擇名詞的完型填空題。回到原文,我們去尋找相關線索,很容易可以定位到空格前面有一個介詞in, 這個介詞就是我們解題的關鍵。我們需要做的就是對比四個選項,看哪一個選項能和in連用。首先,我們最熟知的就是by means of,意為“通過…方法 ”,所以可以直接排除B. 同樣的道理,C選項通常的表達為“with the method ”。這樣,我們看,還剩下AD兩個選項。A選項通常的搭配是“in case that”意為“萬一”。所以,通過以上與介詞搭配的分析對比,最后我們確定出答案為in a way, D為正確選項。
例如,For example, it has long been known that total sleep _46_is 100 percent fatal to rats, yet, _47_ examination of the dead bodies, the animals look completely normal. (1995)
