Julie said she had never seen 27． (如此) dangerous fires. Most animals, even many birds, were not fast enough   28   (逃脱).

Julie said, “We didn’t have children   30   (我们自己); this is what we spend our time doing. We think it's worth looking after our babies no matter what they are...”

〖命题探究〗

此类短文填空题一般会给出汉语意思或英文单词。做此类短文填空题时，要准确理解语意，根据文中同样结构或类似结构确定应填词的词性和词形。不可简单地都填原形词。若空格内填的是名词，要考虑其单复数形式；若填的是形容词或副词，则要考虑其是否属于比较等级；如若填的是动词，则要特别注意考虑其时态和语态。如在句首，还要考虑其首字母的大写。

〖解题秘籍〗

1）阅读图文弄清大意。

快速阅读全图和全文，掌握大意，抓住关键词语和文章的主要线索。一定要先整体快速读完，不能边读边做，因为后面的信息往往有助于对前面细节的理解，从而有利于对主题思想的领悟。

2）理解句意得出答案。

掌握了文章的大意后，做题时首先要推测句意，根据句意来填词。一般情况下理解了句意，要填的词语也就顺利出来了。有时单个句子不好理解，就要借助上下文来理解，或根据整篇文章的大意来推测出这个句子的含义。

3）先易后难，多方位考虑。解答时，如果个别空格填不出，也可以先做下面的题。做完较容易的题目之后，再集中精力思考那些难题。有的难题可能只知其意而不会写，这时要从多方位考虑。英语中一意多词表达法比较多，只要考生能根据词意填入正确的词即可。因此在明确空格词意后，可以把表达此意的有关的词在脑海中罗列出来，找出最好的和最有把握的词填进去，这样难度就大大地降低了。

4）复读图文检查验证。做完后，通读全文，判断初定的答案能否使全文连贯流畅，内容清晰完整，情节合乎逻辑，语义和语法正确，再检查全文的人称、时态、主谓语是否一致，还要注意所填单词是否要作词形变化：如名词是否要用复数，形容词是否要用比较级，动词是否要变时态。发现问题，及时更正。
