完形填空之利用因果关系解题
方法指导
在完形填空中,因果逻辑关系阐述了两个事件或者事实之间的内在联系,出题者为了考查考生的阅读能力和逻辑分析能力,经常会将因果颠倒,考生需要注意辨别实际的因果关系,防止受到迷惑。表示因果关系的词语有:because, because of, for, since, due to, thanks to, as a result of, as, so, thus, therefore, consequently, in consequence, as a result, result from, result in, cause, lead to等。有时候文章中虽然没有出现表示因果关系的标志性词语,但是在逻辑上也存在着因果关系,这时候考生就需要自己进行判断和推理了。 典例引领 (2015天津)

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文,题材是人物故事类。我和未婚夫要买一套房子,可是我们看中的房子的价格大大超出了我们的购买能力。通过我们的努力争取,更是由于房主的善良我们最终得到了梦寐以求的房子。这期间究竟发生了什么故事呢?
1.B 根据本句中的But及and后的内容可推知,我们买房子的资金是有限的(limited)。 2.A 一位代理人向我们特别推荐了一套房子。
3.C 尽管她对房子的描述听起来非常好,可是价格却超出了我们可承受的范围。beyond超出,符合语境。 4.A 可是她一直力劝我们至少(at least)看一下房子。
5.C 根据后文对房子的描述可知答案为C项。It was love at first sight.那是一见钟情。 6.B 我们在那个家里感觉到了婚姻带来的温暖和幸福。与warmth对应的应是happiness,故选B项。 7.D 每天我们都会坐在湖边,看着那座房子,想象着居住在里面会是什么样子。考查宾语从句。设空处在从句中作like的宾语且表示“事物”,故答案为what。 8.B 根据后面的their offer可知答案为B项。
9.D 我们的出价远远低于他们的要价,没想到他们并没有嘲笑(laugh at)我们。 10.A 他们不但没有嘲笑我们,反而(instead)更改了他们的要价。
11.C 尽管要价还是大大超出了我们的支付能力,但比最初的要价低了很多。

13.D 即使是这样,我们还是决定直接去和房主(owners)面谈。根据后面的the owner可知答案为D项。 14.B 我们给出了最后的出价,这个价格还是(still)比另外那个买家出的价低好几千美元。 15.D 我们明白这个现实,可是我们不得不去努力争取。根据语境可知此处表示转折,故选D项。 16.D 房主答应把房子卖给我们,接下来他解释了(explained)这么做的原因,后面就是他说的原因,故选D项。
17.C 他知道我们有多么爱这个地方,也会感激(appreciate)他们这么多年来倾注在这所房子上的心血。
18.A 他知道把房子卖给我们会损失一些钱,但是这么做是值得的。
19.B 他告诉我们这个差价就算是提前送给我们的结婚礼物了。此处指两种出价的差价,故选B项。 20.A 根据上文的描述可知这所房子的主人对我们太好(kind)了。
