在行文过程中,文章往往围绕一个主题展开,因此,句与句之间,甚至段落之间存在必然的关联。语义关联题旨在考查考生对语境的整体把握能力,考生如果没有整体意识,往往很难找出正确答案。解答此类题目时,考生需要考虑设空处与句内其他部分、前后句甚至相隔较远的句子在语义上的连贯性。换言之,要充分考虑上下文语境,根据语义的连贯性解题。

(2025·石家庄质检)How do we measure what makes a good conversation Is it by how many times we laugh Or is it 1 by how we feel afterwards—how deeply the words have 2 us There is one conversation where I can 3 almost word for word in my head.These words have even 4 the course of my life.
In 2016,I walked into a small valley in Jordan.A young boy called Faisal saw me kicking a football with some kids and 5 me.
“I saw you playing football,” he told me.“You were very good.”
“Thanks,” I replied,“but you're being too 6 .I am not good at it.”
“Oh yes,” he said.“Your skills are 7 .But it was good of you to play with the boys.”
He told me about his two jobs—one looking after sheep in the hills,and one looking after tourists.The sheep were easier,he said.Later,as he 8 how the world was,he told me a saying:“Give without remembering; take without 9 .”
Faisal's background was quite different from mine.And yet he held this 10 philosophy,and the more I travel,the more I see that the world is 11 a good place.There is more that connects us than divides us—of that,I'm certain.
The fact that I will again have the 12 to be part of these remarkable conversations—each will be unique,and may even leave a 13 in my life—is still one of the most exciting 14 of travel for me.For that possibility,I'm forever 15 .
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者 2016年在约旦旅行时偶遇了一位放羊少年 Faisal。Faisal赞美了作者的善良,并和作者分享了他的人生哲学“施恩勿记,受恩勿忘”。这次经历也让作者更加坚信世界是美好的。

C.accompanied D.defined
