做完形填空首先要通读全文，了解大意。一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格，所以，必须先通读一至两遍，才能大概了解文章的内容。千万不要看一句，做一句。其次要逐句分析，前后一致。选择答案时，要考虑整个句子的内容，包括搭配、时态、语法等。答案全部填完后，再通读一遍文章，检查是否通顺流畅了，用词得当，意思正确。

11~13.【答案】B、C、B【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据文章第一段Ifyouwanttorelievethestingorbiteoftheseinsectsnaturally，bananapeelcanhelpyou.Rubthered，inflamedbiteswiththeinsideofthebananapeel.Thebananapolysaccharides（多糖）infiltratetheskinandreducetheswell.（如果你想自然地减轻这些昆虫的叮咬，香蕉皮可以帮助你。用香蕉皮内侧摩擦红肿的咬痕。香蕉多糖能渗透皮肤，消肿。）可推断，当你被蜜蜂蜇伤后，你可以用香蕉皮内侧摩擦红肿的咬痕，从而消肿。故选B。

（2）标题判断题。根据下文Springthensummeriscoming，andthere'sonelittleannoyingthing：theflies.Tocatchthem，youcanmakeatrapmadeofnaturalingredients.Allyouwillneedisalargeyogurtcup，bananapeels，ahammerandanail.Makeholesatthebottomoftheyogurtcupwiththehammerandnail，placethebananapeelsinside，turnitover，andplaceitnearthefoodthatyouaretryingtoprotect.Flieswillgetintothesweetsmellintheholes，butthereisnowayoutoftheyogurtcup.（春天和夏天都来了，有一件事很烦人：苍蝇。为了捕捉它们，你可以用天然原料做一个陷阱。你所需要的只是一个大酸奶杯、香蕉皮、一把锤子和一颗钉子。用锤子和钉子在酸奶杯的底部打洞，把香蕉皮放进去，把它翻过来，放在你想要保护的食物附近。苍蝇会钻进香甜的洞里，却没有办法从酸奶杯里出来。）可知，本段主要讲述的是我们可以用香蕉皮来制作一个陷阱用来捕捉苍蝇。选项C"Naturalflytrap（天然捕蝇器）"符合本段主要内容。故选C。

（3）细节理解题。根据文章第四段Itturnedoutthatthebananapeelabsorbsheavymetalssuchasleadandcopperfromthewater.（事实证明，香蕉皮可以吸附水中的铅和铜等重金属。）可知，香蕉皮通过减少化学元素来净化水。故选B。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了香蕉皮的用途。

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

14~17.【答案】A、D、A、D【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段OutsideCapeTownonthebanksoftheEersteriver，VergenoegdLöw，theWineEstate，hasrepurposedacenturies-oldpracticebygatheringagroupofduckstokeepitsvineyardsfreeofpests.（在开普敦郊外的埃尔斯特河畔，VergenoegdLöw葡萄酒庄园重新利用了一个有几百年历史的做法，养了一群鸭子，让葡萄园免受害虫的侵害。）可知，葡萄园里的鸭子可以使葡萄园远离害虫。故选A。

（2）细节理解题。根据第四段Theducks'"annualleave"takesplaceduringtheharvest（they'deatthegrapes）.（鸭子的"年假"发生在收获季节（它们会吃葡萄）。）可知，葡萄园里的鸭子在特定的时间离开葡萄园。故选D。

（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段"Ifwecanachievethat，wecanthenputbacksomeofthat（income）intoourpeople，intoourland，andbecomemoresustainable，"Vissersays.（Visser说："如果我们能做到这一点，我们就可以把一部分（收入）投入到我们的人民和土地上，变得更加可持续。"）可推知，葡萄园使用鸭子的方法绿色环保。故选D。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一个葡萄酒庄园利用鸭子来使葡萄园远离害虫。

阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料；其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。
