四、考点
主要包含语境推断、词汇复现、逻辑推理、固定搭配、生活常识和语法知识六种命题角度，其中以语境推断为主。
解题技巧
在做生活哲理类完形填空时需从以下几个方面着手。
1、吃透首节对哲理的介绍
为了亮出观点，表明写作目的，体现文章的主旨大意和主题思想，哲理性记叙文多在文首提供哲理。另外，首节还有可能介绍生活哲理给作者所带来的好处及作者悟出哲理的途径。利用这些特点，可以巧妙推断文章开头部分的空缺信息。
2、分析哲理的悟出过程
哲理通常是作者有感而发的生活体验，是从生活中获取的人生教益。因此，在首节结束之后，作者会详细介绍悟出哲理的过程，也就是自己从生活中获取教益的心路历程。用心分析这个过程，弄清其应在什么样的情况下才能被人们悟出，或者主人公会有什么样的心路历程,是一个关键的步骤。
哲理性记叙文往往在文章末尾重提哲理，以便作者再次抒发内心情感，表达哲理重要意义，并暗示读者在今后的人生中应该接受哲理的引导用性理规范自己的言行。
做好该类完形填空要注意：研究首尾——找主题，下联系——寻信息，左顾右盼——找搭配，思前想后——觅逻辑，语境分析——辨词义，集中精力——破难题。

动物们喜欢吃绿色、新鲜的草，当他们在这边吃草的时候，他们总是会觉得那边的草更绿，这就是＂这山望着那山高＂这句俗语的意思。但实际上可能并非如此，所以作者建议我们要＂知足常乐＂，珍惜和享受现在所拥有的。
16. A【解析】句意：当那里有充足的雨水时，草会更绿。考查名词辨析，rain 雨水，snow 雪，sunlight 阳光。根据下句话When the weather has been dry, the grass is brown.＂气候干燥时，草会是棕黄色的＂，故与此相对，应该是＂雨水充足时＂，故应选A。
17. A【解析】句意：动物们喜欢吃绿色新鲜的草。考查形容词辨析，green 绿色的，brown 棕色的，yellow 黄色的。根据下句话And if the grass in one place is greener than the rest, animals___3___to eat that grass.可知，动物们喜欢吃绿色的草。故应选A。

21. C【解析】句意：别的地方的草总是看起来更绿。考查副词辨析，seldom 很少，sometimes 有时， always 总是。根据上文提到的这个俗语＂The grass is greener on the other side of the fence.＂可知，那边的草总是比这边的草更绿。故应选C。
