(二)从上下文相关内容考虑
　　[例 1] One day Mrs. Nanete. O'Neill gave an arithmetic to our class. When the papers were marked she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.
　　A. test
　　B. problem
　　C. paper
　　D. lesson
　　该题撇开具体上下文，A、B、C、D四个选项都能成立，而在把握全文整体意思的情况下，很容易找到下文的重要信息词：the test。故选A。
　　[例 2] "In her eyes he couldn't do anything ."
　　A. wrong
　　B. great
　　C. good
　　D. strange
　　在他母亲眼中，他不可能做出什么事呢?仅从这一单句考虑，四个备选答案都没错。但根据上文的She loved John very much以及下文提到的：当John与其他士兵一起接受检阅时，观众嘲笑John与其他士兵步调不一致，而他母亲却大叫：They are all out of step except my John!到此，我们才能选出A项为正确答案。
　　【例 3】 ... in fact he had tried a few. First of all he was a window-cleaner... Then he became a bus conductor...
　　A. ones
　　B. years
　　C. tasks
　　D. jobs
　　以上四个选项都可以用a few修饰，但根据下文的a window—cleaner和a bus conductor可知，正确答案为D。
