本题为词汇填空题,主要考查上下文语境理解和固定搭配。解题核心在于:
- 锁定空格前后逻辑关系,判断所需词性(如形容词、动词等);
- 匹配选项中对应词义,注意习惯用法(如固定短语搭配);
- 排除干扰项,重点关注选项中与语境矛盾或词性不符的词。
第26空
关键点:短语搭配
原文:the 26 ups and downs of investment markets

第27空
关键点:逻辑关系
原文:not so much the ups, but 27 the downs
分析:前后对比强调“更关注下跌”,需用副词加强语气。definitely(肯定地)突出“更关注下跌部分”。
第28空
关键点:修饰语选择

第29空
