1.各小题有四项答案的完型填空中，只有一项最佳，其余均是干扰性的或迷惑性的。做完型填空时，要注意下列几个步骤：
第一步，要快速通读全文，了解文章大意，正确分析、归纳文章主旨。
第二步，在理解文章大意基础上，对每道题所给的词语进行剖析，考虑语境，上下呼应，运用逻辑思维进行推理，再根据自己最有把握的、最熟悉的短语、习惯用语、动词形式和句子结构等，先完成简单的，把难的留在后面。
第三步，再细读全文，集中精力解决难点，填补空缺。
第四步，答题完毕，遵循由整体到局部、由局部到整体的规律，再耐心通读全文，认真复查所选答案是否得当，语法是否正确，逻辑推理是否合理。
2.首字母已给的完型填空比“四选一”的完型填空还要难些。除了掌握上述四步的答题技巧外，还要了解空格所缺词的词性，确保语法的正确性，注意数的变化。在填名词时，应联系文章的主题，注意它的单复数;在填动词时，要注意它的时态、语态;在填连词时，注意分析文章中前后句和上下文的逻辑关系;在填形容词和副词时，注意比较级和最高级的用法;在填代词时，要注意它的性、数、格是否准确;在填介词时，注意它的固定搭配和常用语法特点。

名师点评
本文讲述了一个国王为了考验两个人，让他们往篮子里打水，忠诚的人不遗余力地往空篮子里打水，直到国王归来。结果不仅获得了一枚金戒指，而且得到了国王的信任。
答案简析
1.C。这里did和finished都表示完成了这项工作，而给篮子装满水是不可能的，国王应在两人开始打水后不久离开，所以应选began。
2.B。往篮子里盛满水是永远不可能的，故选择never。
3.A。两者中的另一个用the other加名词来表示。
4.C。the first man想离开，因为他觉得自己干的是无用功，故选择nothing意为“从事某项工作”。
5.D。pick up意为“捡起”，pick away意为“放好”，take away意为“取走”，而throw down意为“扔掉、丢弃”，比较贴近文意，为正确选项。
6.A。根据文意，另一个人一直在打水，故选water。
7.B。不停地打水必然会导致井空，故选empty。
8.B。while引导从句时，从句应用延续性动词，before和since不符合文意，as soon as…表示“一……就”为正确选项。
9.A。国王是因为这个诚实的人所做过的事情而表扬他，所以应用完成时态have done。
10.D。国王讲的最后一句话是含有 “so……that”结构的复合句，意为“如此……以致”故选that。
