修饰同现
修饰同现指某些存在固定修饰关系的单词和短语共同出现在语篇当中。如在短语a populationof和anumber of中,修饰population和number,要用large或small,而不能用many或few。答题时,考生可根据中心词与修饰语之间这种常见的固定关系和具体语境来选择正确的答案。
例5 When I was 50,my weight problem began toaffect me 19 I didn't want to live the rest of my life withthis extra weight any more.
19.A.temporarily
B.recently
C. seriously
D.secretly

例 6
Stepping out not only helped a brother in__59,it also gave my kids the sweet taste of'helping oth-ers. It'll go a long way with them.
59.A.fear
B.love
C.need
D.memory
解析:help sb.in need是一个常见的表达,介词短语in need作后置定语,修饰动词短语help sb.中的宾语。根据上下文和本句语意“走出去不仅仅帮助了在危难中的兄弟,也让孩子们尝到了帮助别人的甜头”,可知选C项。
例7 4l
January 26,Billy and three other chil-dren had died.
41.A.From
B.On
C.By
D.After
解析:从题干来看,谓语动词为过去完成时,引导时间状语的介词只能用by。因为在四个选项中,只有“by+过去时间”才能修饰过去完成时,所以选C项。

值得一提的是,结构同现和修饰同现往往是一些相对固定的表达方式,在完形填空题中所占的比例相对较小。尽管如此,考生也不可忽略。
black意为“黑色”或“黑暗的”。black out意为“熄灭灯火…‘停电…“昏厥”,也引申为“扣发”(文章)和“封锁”(新闻)。
go black则是说人昏倒之时,眼前一片漆黑。
日常生活中,黑色是不受欢迎的色彩,通常与“阴郁不快”“倒霉”“不吉利”等概念联系在一起。
a black spot则指经常发生恶性交通事故的路口或路段。路标上常用醒目的黑体字写上Accidentblack spot,以提醒开车者小心开车。
black还含有“毁坏”或“玷污”的意思。paint sb.black就是蓄意把某人说得一无是处,说某人坏。
