做完形填空時，首先要通讀課文，明白主旨大意，然后再做題。做完形時要記住“瞻前顧后想結(jié)果”這一原則，根據(jù)上下文以及語境做題，切忌主觀臆斷。另外，平時還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空常考名詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時，首先要確認四個選項的含義，然后分析語境和邏輯關(guān)系，確定答案。

本文第四題考查名詞。先確定四個詞的意思。team隊；bank銀行；shop商店；school學校；根據(jù)“Lewis asked Dennis for his autograph(親筆簽名), saying, “My name’s Lewis and one day I want to ___5___ your cars.””可知Dennis 應(yīng)該是車隊經(jīng)理，故選A。
