根據文章的感情色彩解題
考生在第一遍通讀時，應在掌握文章大意，弄清作者思路的基礎上，著重尋找反映語境褒貶性的標誌性詞彙或句子，這些標誌性詞彙或句子往往對文章的語境褒貶性起著決定性的作用。如：
When Ed first phoned and ___37___(suggested) we play, I 1aughed quietly, figuring on an ___38___(easy) victory. After all, Ed’s idea of ___ 39___ (exercise) has always been nothing more ___40___(effort-making) than lifting a fork to his mouth. ___41___(As long as) I can remember, Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family, and ___42___(strangely) proud of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers.
【解析】讀這一部分，我們明顯看到作者是看不清Ed的，用詞有laughed, victory, nothing more than, least fit, strangely, big stomach等。在這樣的描述下，人們就會很容易地想到， 「我」與Ed比賽，那簡直易如反掌(an easy victory)，在「我」眼中他那麼差，然而他卻以自己為自豪，我們怎麼會覺得不奇怪(strangely)呢?因此從對人物反面的描述，我們得出這些答案就不難了。
I was so surprised that I was ___47___(speechless). My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. ___48___(As a result), at the point in our game when I』d have predicted the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was ___49___(instead) 7 to 9 and Ed was 50 (leading).
【解析】surprised 一詞道出了情況的轉折，我們可以看到這時作者用詞的轉變。made an effort，get into shape 等這些褒義詞的使用對這些空的選擇起到了很好的引導作用。speechless, instead 都是由驚訝得出的。
The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population. ___1___ homelessness has reached such proportions that local government can』t possibly ___2___. To help homeless people___3___independence, the federal government must support job training programs, ___4___the minimum wage, and fund more low-cost housing.
考生要看懂第一話，為了幫助the homeless，所以選項必須全部支持這個主題，要選擇與主題態度相關的詞。
