完形填空題與單項選擇題不同，它給出的是一篇意思較為完整的短文。做該題型試題時，首先應(yīng)跳過空格通讀全文，以全文為背景，聯(lián)系句子的上下文進行推理和判斷，從4個選項中選出一項進行試填。考生可以從詞義用法、固定搭配、邏輯推理和上下文的聯(lián)系等方面去考慮。最后應(yīng)再把全文通覽一遍，細心檢查所選答案能否使短文上下連貫，前后呼應(yīng)，詞句通順，使短文意思完整。檢查時還應(yīng)從語法、慣用法、邏輯推理和事情發(fā)生的情節(jié)等方面進行考慮，以達到準確無誤之目的。第9小題是考查動詞的辨析，句意：幾個世紀以來，鹽也很難買到。sell賣； get得到； take帶去；根據(jù)下文“Its usefulness, together with rarity made it very expensive.”可知鹽很稀有，可知不易買到，故選B。
