一、专题知识梳理 1.动词解密： 我们都知道，首字母填空第一步应该先判断词性，这个虽然在实际做题过程中，是一个一闪而过瞬间做出的判断，但是我们有必要把这个思考过程用慢镜头的形式放慢，我们一起来分析下，什么样的情况下，这个空格里填的词就应该是动词。所以，我们把上海历年真题拿出来做一个汇总来看下，能否发现什么规律。
(1) 空格前有助动词出现，这也往往是某种时态或者是被动语态的信号。如: has, had, was, did, does等 真题例句： ①、She was not a 2 to eat her favorite food by the doctor. 此句动词为被动语态形式，看by可知动作发出者不是主语she ②、However, modern technology has c 92 all that. 此句为完成时态，has作为助动词是现在完成时的标志词，动词应为完成形式。 (2) 空格前有情态动词时，如：can, must, will, should等， 真题例句：These places often have thin walls which can't s 95 the noise from next door. (3) 空格前有动词连接的不定式结构时，如：used to _____。 Stop to ____ 真题例句： In fact, one million people in Britain would like to m ____93__because they don't get along well with their neighbors (4) 复合句的主句和从句的（初中主要是宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句）主语后面。如： 真题例句： ①、This m__96_ that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves. ②、and try to forget that you d 101 this when you wake up the next morning (5) and或or等并列连词连接的两个句子时，某一个句子缺乏谓语时。如： 真题例句：Six weeks later, Christopher tried to phone Jeff and f 92 he had moved and left no link address. 2. 解题技巧：
