文章的第一句话惯例性的没有设空，让我们对于文章的体裁和大意有一定的把握，所以考生应该学会利用第一句。
21题，我们从两方面可以确定是order，首先，点菜动词用order，如果考生不知道这个用法，可以根据第三行的order选择，尽管词性不同，但是做了很有帮助的提示。
22题，固定搭配，take sth. out of， 把…从… 拿出来。
23题，固定短语，divide sth. into two halves, 把…分成两半。选项当中的cut有一定的迷惑性，但是指把东西切成两半，所以最佳选项还是divide。
24题，指一份，用one。
25题，考查动词短语，get down：下来，写下。Settle down：定居。Set down：放下。Turn down：拒绝。所以应该选set。
26题，根据下文I要给老夫妇买吃的，肯定是觉得他们poor。
27题，afford表示时间或金钱方面可以支付的起。Pay要和for连用。其它两项词义不符，所以应该选afford。
28题，根据上下文我们可以推断这个地方需要一个引导时间状语从句的连词，表示“当…时候”，所以在while和as中选择，而while多强调主从句动作同时发生，多和进行时连用，所以用as。
29题，rise to one’s feet，固定短语，表示站起来。
30题，be willing to do sth.，固定搭配，表示愿意干某事，并且意思符合。
31题，考查了上下文之间的照应，我们可以在第38空后找到提示，第三次都礼貌拒绝，那么前两次肯定也是礼貌拒绝了，所以这道题应选politely。
32题，make it a habit，固定搭配，表示形成一种习惯的意思。
33题，根据上文提到夫妇习惯什么都分享，但是下文却说一直是man在吃而Lady一口都没有吃，所以I感到很吃惊。选surprisingly。
34题，既然lady一口都没吃，肯定是在看她的丈夫在吃，所以选watching。
35题，Again提示I重复了前面的动作，而后面又是被refuse了，所以肯定是要重复前面要求给couple买食物的动作，所以选asked。
36题，wipe one’s face with a napkin，用纸巾擦脸。
37题，考查情态动词，这里应该选could，表示能够。
38题，从上下文的信息中可以推断出在被拒绝后，我好奇的问lady原因，所以选after
39题，一连串的问题告诉我们这里应该是好奇的问，curiously。
40题，首先从语法上看，wait for后面要跟宾语，所以把how和why排出，根据后面的回答，等的是teeth，确定这里选的应该是what。
从以上的分析我们不难发现，今年的完形考点很正，着重于考生的基本功和逻辑推理能力，只要考生在平日的学习中加强词汇和语法能力，做题过程中注意“前顾后盼，上下求索”，那么完形成绩的提高指日可待，加油！
