本文作者讲述了他自己在等他朋友萨姆的来信时，收到了一张明信片，上面有美丽的风景---一些悬崖和大海。但是没有萨姆的信。雨水使明星片的书写内容看不清楚了，包括寄明信片的人的名字。作者想这是谁给他的明信片？萨姆的信在哪里？就在这时电话铃响了。萨姆打电话给作者，问是否收到他的明信片。他说他们改变主意了，去了海边，没有去伦敦。作者两个谜团都解开了！

【7】句意：我不能看见其他的任何东西。A. something某物，某事，一般用于肯定句；B. anything任何东西，任何事情，一般用于否定句；C. nothing无事物，没有东西；D. everything一切，所有事物。本句是否定句，可知填anything；选B。

完形填空集阅读理解、语法、词法、句法于一体，考查语言的综合运用能力，是难度最大的题目。解题的方法要带着空，通读文章，搞清事件发生的背景；再读全文，搞清短文内容；最后根据句意，联系上下文确定每个空的正确答案。它的主要题型有（1）考查词义辨析：名词辨析，形容词副词辨析，冠词辨析，介词连词辨析等；（2）考查句子时态，语态，要根据语境，选择正确的时态和语态的选项；（3）考查从句（宾语从句，定语从句，主语从句等）。
