正确答案:(1)B.考查动词及语境理解。A.hired租;B.drove开车;C.repaired修理;D.employed雇佣。根据下文then asked me to drive through the downtown可知然后让我开车穿过市区,说明我当时开的出租车。故答案为B.
(2)D.考查动词及语境理解。A.carry搬;B.find发现;C.see off送行;D.pick up捡起,接。根据下句 I walked

完形填空题的命题趋势
解题步骤:
1.通读全文,理解大意。重视首句信息,跳过空格,浏览全文,从整体上感知全文,理解文章大意,这是解题的基础。
2.瞻前顾后,避难就易。在理解文章大意的情况下,结合各选项的意义和用法,遵循先易后难的原则,先解决那些自己有把握的问题。对少数难题,暂时跳过,或许在上文中难以判断的题在下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示,或许一个在前面不能解答的题在填出了另一空后会令你豁然开朗。
3.复读全文,解决残敌。借助已经补全的空格,对全文有了更清楚的理解,可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题。
4.再次复读,弥补疏漏,全部做好后,务必要结合自己选择的答案重新阅读短文内容,确保全文文意连贯。
