答案 A

在解填空题时有一个小技巧，如果5个选项全是动词，其中有一个与其中两个三个甚至四个动作方向是相反的，那么这个单独的选项就应是正确的选项。同样可以类推到形容词。

二.搜索关键词

一定要熟悉关键词常出现的几个点：

*主语或宾语的具有强烈感情色彩的修饰语;

*谓语动词的具有强烈感情色彩的修饰语;

*人物或事物的特征身份、性格、动作;

*与空格在句子构成中起到相同作用的词汇或短语;

*空格之后紧密跟随的短语，分句。

做完一道题要总结一下关键词给出的形式以及如何去发现和识别它。

注意：以上二步骤无必然先后关系。在初期解题打好基础，先找关系，再寻关键词。当进入一定境界，题型已基本熟悉，对关键词的若干藏身之所已了然于胸之际，往往还未看到空格，还未看到逻辑关系词，在读到这些关键词时，就已经能够感觉到它们在向你召唤。
