Question

【題目】 A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.

In American history, Benjamin Franklin was a scientist, inventor and writer as well as a leader of the American Revolution. 【1】

Franklin wrote a book called “Poor Richard’s Almanac”.【2】 Some of them are still used today, like this one: “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like, “A penny saved is a penny earned.”【3】

Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. The first ones are about love. Some people say, “All is fair in love and war.” They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.

【4】In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.

Here is another popular saying about love: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a man’s love if she prepares his favorite foods.

“【5】” This proverb is true in love and war or other situations. It means that what you do is more important than what you say.

We have to stop here, so we must say, “All good things must come to an end.”

怎樣才能做對英語的補全短文

1、做題總思路：

　 從分析題型知道，它只不過是要找出各選項在原文的出處而已，并且這個出處已經(jīng)確定了5個填充處給予選擇。

　　針對這類題的要求和特點，我們可以運用綜合分析排除法來選出正確的答案：一是不“符合語法知識”的排除，二是不“符合邏輯結構”的排除，三是不能使填充處“前后內(nèi)容銜接、意思連貫”的排除。因此，做這類題的重點，一是選項句子，而選項句子重點是它的中心詞，包括：名詞、代詞和連接詞，這三種詞是我們必須重視的，也是我們了解該選項句子意思，運用上述三種方法的前提，二是填充處的前后段或前后句子，弄清楚這個填充處所在位置的意義以及其前后段或前后句子的邏輯關系和內(nèi)容意思，也是運用上述方法的前提。

2、做題步驟：

（1）第一步：找出各選項句子中心詞：名詞、代詞和連接詞，了解這句子的大概意思（要該選項中劃出其中心詞并簡要寫其大意）。建議：如果有點英語基礎，在做這一步之前最好快速游覽一個全文，了解全文大概是講什么的。然后，根據(jù)各選項句子的大概意思，初步設想一下它們最有可能的位置和彼此順序。

（2）第二步：按順序了解某一個填充處前后段或前后句子的邏輯關系和大概內(nèi)容意思。這也是類似找中心句子與中心詞的方法，找出前后段最接近填充處的句子的中心詞（名詞、代詞和連接詞），或者找出填充處前后句子的中心詞，了解其大概意思和相互間的邏輯關系。

（3）第三步：把選項句子中心詞及其大意與填充處前后段或前后句子的邏輯關系及大意進行對照，運用下述的做題技巧，綜合分析排除，確定最有可能的選項或直接確定答案；并把確定了的答案劃去和把最有可能的選項（A、B、C…）寫到填充處，無論能否確定答案，都要接著往下做下一個填空處，以如類推。因為這類題是5選5，基本上是一個蘿卜一個筐，每個選項最多只能用一次，并且都必須用上，所以，不能確定最后唯一答案時，基本上可以通過做其它的填充處，甚至到最后把所有的填充處綜合起來推敲，也可以確定各填充處的答案，因此，不要急于求成，困死在某一個填充處上。

（4）第四步：利用綜合分析排除法，最后理順并最終確定各選項的所有位置。確定了所有答案后，把各選項對號入座，進行檢查和印證。
