根据文化背景常识：①利用英语国家的文化背景知识，英语国家的文化背景知识包括英语国家的风俗习惯、历史事件、地理位置等。我们做题时若能积极调动自己的文化背景知识，注意中西文化各方面存在的差异，将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程，选出正确的答案。②结合生活常识，避免常识性错误。完形填空文章的内容经常与日常生活相关，因此当我们对语言的把握不准确时，可充分利用社会知识和科普常识来帮助判断，这就要求我们平时既要多体验生活，又要博览群书。

例1：      Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They are very busy working to   support   the family. They don’t act in the  romantic  ways that I read in books or I se on TV.      Flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.

A. Taking            B. Passing           C. Buying            D. Sending

[分析]利用文化背景知识解答。众所周知，Valentine’s Day为西方国家的情人节，这一天情人之间、夫妻之间一般是要互送鲜花来庆祝的。因此借助这一文化背景知识很快可以选出答案。

例2：Roberta appeared on the stage. She took a deep breath and began to  speak . Now she was Portia, a strong-willed        in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. The theatre was filled with people. She was speaking with a power she had never before experienced, the words flowing  smoothly  from her.

A. member          B. actress             C. player              D. character

[分析]本题考查文化背景知识。莎士比亚为英国文学巨匠，他的作品人们耳熟能详，尤其是《威尼斯商人》更是广为人知。其中主要人物有乐于助人的安东尼奥，贪婪自私的夏洛克，还有机智、漂亮的鲍西亚。根据文意可知此题答案。

例3：Fire stations are strangely exciting places. In the normal course of events the great doors are shut, and behind them, the fire-engines wait peacefully, brightly cleaned and lovingly cared for. But the  moment  the fire alarm sounds, the huge doors open immediately and the firemen come       .

A. fleeing            B. laughing                   C. jumping          D. rushing

[分析]考查生活常识。每当有火警的时候消防队员都是快速出动，此处用rushing表示方式，修饰come。Fleeing“逃逸”，laughing“笑”，jumping“跳”，均与语境不符。

例4：It was New Year’s night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep____ sky.

A. grey                B. blue                 C. black               D. cloudy
