做这类首字母填空的题目，首先第一步要通读全文，明确本文的主题是介绍悉尼这座城市的基本概况，对文章整体内容有初步认知。第二步逐空结合上下文的语义逻辑、给出的首字母提示，同时结合已学的固定搭配、语法规则推导答案，推导完成后还要把答案代入全文通读，验证短文是否通顺、语法是否正确。比如看到后文描述冬夏气温就可以对应到是在讲天气，看到be ... for的结构就优先联想学过的固定搭配be famous for，同时还要注意部分名词需要根据语境变形为复数形式，保证语法正确。

【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，理清故事整体脉络：本文讲述了16岁的女孩Helen遇到摩托车事故后，运用自己掌握的急救知识主动救助伤者，最终挽救伤者生命的故事。解题时每一个空都要结合上下文的语境提示、固定短语搭配来判断，先排除明显不符合故事逻辑的选项，再对比剩余词义选出最贴合场景的答案：比如听到巨响后正常人的反应是冲出门查看，受伤后还能说话属于幸运的情况，止血需要用到绷带这类线索都可以直接对应正确选项。
【解析】
1. 前文提到Helen听到街上传来巨大的声响，结合常理她会立刻冲出门查看情况，rushed（冲）符合语境，jumped跳、drove开车、rode骑都不符合当时的场景，选A。
2. 后文提到男孩躺在地上，腿部严重受伤，说明发生了事故，旁边的摩托车是损坏的，broken（破损的）符合逻辑，huge巨大的、noisy吵闹的、fast快的都和事故场景不匹配，选B。
3. 前文说男孩的腿几乎在膝盖处被切断，后文说他还能正常交谈，这是很幸运的情况，Luckily（幸运地）符合语境，Suddenly突然、Hopefully有希望地、Naturally自然地都不符合此处的情感逻辑，选C。
4. 男孩受了重伤，此时正处于剧烈的疼痛中，固定搭配in great pain表示“处于极大的疼痛中”，spirits精神、condition状态、surprise惊讶都不符合，选B。
5. 后文提到她还参加过英国红十字会的急救课程，说明她掌握一些急救知识，knowledge表示“知识”符合语义，control控制、duty责任、advice建议都不符合，选D。
6. 她利用自己接受的培训快速检查伤者的状况，check（检查）符合急救的操作逻辑，decide决定、plan计划、describe描述都不符合，选B。
7. 后文提到她用绷带按压伤口止血，说明她回家取的是绷带bandages，schoolbags书包、newspapers报纸、scarves围巾都不是专业止血用品，选C。
8. 她取完东西之后返回到事故现场，scene表示“现场”符合语义，hospital医院、school学校、house家都不符合，选A。
9. 后文说周围的人不知道该怎么处理事故，不敢上前，说明他们都太害怕了，scared（害怕的）符合语境，angry生气的、bored无聊的、sorry抱歉的都不符合，选B。
10. 句意是“我尽全力用绷带按压伤口直到救援抵达”，until表示“直到”符合逻辑，after在…之后、when当…时、as当…时都不符合此处动作持续的逻辑，选C。
11. 她一边给伤者止血安抚他，一边等待医生赶到，waiting for表示“等待”符合语境，calling for呼吁、looking for寻找、asking for索要都不符合，选A。
12. 最终虽然没能保住伤者的腿但是保住了他的生命，Helen的行动起到了关键作用，actions（行动）符合语义，words话语、thoughts想法、feelings感受都不符合，选C。
13. 句意是如果没有Helen用到的这些简单却有用的急救技能，事故的后果会严重得多，useful（有用的）符合语境，new新的、different不同的、modern现代的都不符合，选D。
14. 懂急救让她足够勇敢，能够直面事故现场保持冷静，brave（勇敢的）符合后文“其他人不敢上前她却站出来”的描述，careful仔细的、clever聪明的、kind善良的都不符合，选A。
