解答完形填空的三大策
词语同现、词语复现和逻辑推理是解答完形填空的三大策，领会和掌握这三大策对提高完形填空的解题速度和准确率大有裨益。
1.词语同现。
根据后文中sheshouldnotmove，可以判断选B。
2.词语复现。
词语复现指某一个词以原词、同根词、同义词、反义词(如wrong,notcorrect)、上义词、下义词等方式重复出现在语篇中，语篇中的句子通过这种复现关系达到相互衔接。比如：Onemorelookandhenoticed45shootingout…
根据后句中thefirewasputout判断选A。
3.逻辑推理。
在做完形填空时许多考生都会有这样的经历，即使他们对选项当中的每个词的意思都非常清楚，但得分不高。因为完形填空考查的是一种综合能力，不但是对词汇的考查，而且对句子间和上下文之间逻辑关系的推断也是完形填空考查的重点。其中逻辑关系主要包括因果关系、转折关系、对比关系、并列关系等。

试题分析：
61.attraction考查名词。形容词top后面跟名词形式。
62.wasallowed考查时态和语态。根据句意作者是被允许走近这些动物。
63.officially考查副词。修饰动词用副词形式。
64.to考查介词。固定短语：gobackto“回到”。
66.permitted考查过去分词。被修饰名词和permit之间是被动关系，用过去分词。
67.introducing考查现在分词。介词后面用动词名词。
68.its考查代词。指代前面的twin，用its。
69.days考查名词复数。Few修饰复数名词。
70.the考查冠词。固定短语：one…theother“一个……另一个”。

hissteadily
71.that→where介词后面的宾语从句缺少状语表示地点。
72.but去掉Though不和but连用，故去掉。
74.honest→honesty此处是指“诚实是他成功的秘诀”，用名词形式。
75.or→and从句意判断是并列关系，把or改为and。
76.using→used此处表示被动含义，beusedfor“被用来去做”。
77.becoming前加of固定短语:dreamof梦想做某事。
79.our→his此处指叔叔的生意，用his指代。
80.steady→steadilygrow指增长，不是系动词，故用副词修饰。
