答案与解析：
提示  这是一篇关于作者与Ed打网球的短文，第一句便点了题。所以我们可以推知，后面的内容必然会紧紧围绕这一主题进行展开，讲述一些与这一事件相关的事情，诸如胜负、健康和体力、运动服装、尤其是比赛的过程等等。这样，对于后面的答题，我们就会心中有数。
然后通读全文。于是你不难发现，整篇内容可大体上分成两部分：开头到（13）空前一句为止，主要说的是比赛前的一些事情；后面的部分则是讲的比赛中的事。这两部分既相对独立，又彼此不可分割。所以答题时，每空既可以相对独立地侧重各自这一部分中的语境，但又必须自始至终置于整个语篇的逻辑中来衡量。
1、  C。必须读完全文才能知道答案。原以为可以轻易取胜的比赛，后来出现的比赛场面竟十分出乎以外，让人大为惊奇（surprising）。只有这时，才有理由作出选择。
2、  D。不论根据语境还是语法，都可以知道这里该用suggest“建议”（后面句子中的从句的谓语动词要用“(should) + 动词原形”的虚拟语气）。
3、  C。根据后面第（6）空所在句的内容（Ed是家里身体素质最差的），便知作者“可望（figuring on）轻易取胜”是有道理的。
4、  A。开篇就说了打网球的事，这里填入exercise顺理成章。
5、  D。本题关键在于理解句意，同时采用排异法，既可以得出正确答案。Effort-taking意思是“费力的”。这里含有对Ed轻视的口吻：你出主意打球到容易，打起来就麻烦了。
6、  B。四个选项似乎都不适合填入该空，但用排异法，你会发现只有as long as比较合适。As long as的这种用法相当于as far as“就……所（知；而言等）”，大意是：只要想到他，头脑中的概念就是“他是家里身体状况最差的”。
7、  A。既然身体最差，还要自豪，当然奇怪。
8、  D。人们对有生理缺陷的人体建议时应该注意方式。以开玩笑的轻松语气说话应该是比较合适的。B、C显然错误；care about意思是“介意；关心”，与后面的内容部吻合，所以A也不对。
9、  B。从第(8)空前一句“His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers.”便知Ed的T-shirt太小了点，所以需要买一件大一点的。
10、C。从本空所在句后面的内容可知，Ed已经来到网球场地，否则不可能知道他的装束打扮。arrive for“（到）来做……”。
11、A。由于Ed把T-shirt扎在裤子里，当然过去一贯腆着的肚子就看不见了。
12、D．惊奇的程度与nervous，curious或careless都无关，到是常会惊奇得说不出话来，即speechless。
13、B。前面已经对“作者必胜”作了很多铺垫，可是结果一开始，却出现了相反的局面。
14、C。前一句说：作者预计会以9比1大获全胜。结果却适得其反，7比9，所以此处要用instead“相反”。
15、A。根据14的分析，可知Ed领先（即leading）。
16、C。根据后面的语境可知，比赛在继续。所以A、B都不对。而D项的decided与后面的内容to play like two mad men缺乏逻辑上的联系，讲不通。Continue to play“继续打球”，而却打得十分疯狂。
17、B。这是一道难题。要想选出正确答案，必须注意两点：1、本句的意思：我当时非常……我是否还能继续或下去。（实际含义是“怀疑自己能转败为胜”）2、前后的语境：自己输了，要得那么多分才能赶上。所以这里用doubts是最恰当的。
18、A。这里score是动词，意思是“获得（多少）分”。Receive的说法是错误的。
19、D。一场势均力敌的比赛后，“累得不能动弹”是非常符合逻辑的。
20、B。从文篇的前半部分，我们知道，作者蔑视他的老表。但比赛的事实教育了他，使他对Ed另眼相看，其情感色彩正与过去相反：尊敬（respect）。
    结论  做完型填空时，可以联想，但不能主观臆断；要始终注意上、下文和前后的逻辑
联系，否则就会出错。例如本篇，假如你只注意前面的内容：Ed的身体条件差，“我”可以
轻易取胜，就凭想当然，那么15、17等空就必然会选错，或者不知该如何选。

我打了一场反对我的表哥埃德回力球上周这是一种最令人惊讶的与累人的游戏,我曾经有过…艾德首先打电话和建议我们玩吗我大笑,悄悄地,计算在一个简单的胜利毕竟,爱德的运动一直没有更多的effort-making比起重叉到嘴边。只要我能记住,爱德一直最健康的身体在家庭成员,奇怪的自豪他的大胃一直猛增了自己的t恤、长裤之间…虽然家里人经常开玩笑艾德拒绝购买一个较大的t恤或是减肥所以当埃德来参加我们的比赛不仅与底部的衬衣聚集在他的裤子,但也有肚子都没有注意到。我很惊讶,我吓得目瞪口呆,表哥一定努力使自己进入状态。

因此在我们比赛之前,我曾预言(预计)的比分大概是9比1对我有利这是9-and艾德通向7是痛苦,突然意识…我们继续玩就像两个疯子当比分是16上,我有严重怀疑活着直到21岁,更不用说得分那么多分当比赛终于结束,我们俩都躺躺在地上,累得一步也挪不动。在一定程度上,我认为我们都赢了,我赢得了这次比赛,伊德表弟赢得了我的尊重。
