该题形要求高中生必须具备快速阅读理解一篇抽去相当数量词汇文章的内容领悟能力和分析推断能力,综合运用所学语法知识、词汇辨析能力,常识和逻辑推理能力,和具有一定的跨文化交际意识和能力。
逻辑推理能力:完形填空对篇章逻辑推理能力的考查主要表现在考生能否根据句中,句间甚至是整篇文章的逻辑关系,比如因果、转折、并列等关系,选出正确选项。主要包括以下几个方面:
(一)句中逻辑推理能力
(二)句间逻辑推理能力
(三)篇章逻辑推理能力
(四)篇章原词重现
(三)篇章逻辑推理能力
篇章逻辑推理能力:根据整个篇章的上下文联系及逻辑关系,推断出正确选项。

2、【解析】B。考查篇章逻辑推理能力。根据语义提示可知,gone与上文(本段)的left,构成同义词所以答案选B项。句意为乌鸦都是等到所有人(离开)后才回巢。故答案为B“离开”。其他选项的含义分别为:A“感到困惑”,C“感到很累”,D“喝醉了酒”。
