【3】句意:我丈夫带着悲伤的表情回来了。
sad伤心的;happy开心的;exciting令人激动的;strange奇怪的;根据下文That girl is only 17 but she had cancer and will die.女孩只有17岁,确患有癌症,将要死了。可知,这个是丈夫带来的是坏消息,所以应该是悲伤的表情,故选A。

完形填空首先应该略读全文,加以适当猜测,对全文的大意有所了解,然后再逐句击破。因为文章的关联性,很多用词前后关联,单从一句出发不易找到答案。可能选项中不只一个单词符合语法,但只有一个符合文章的意思。逐步填空,对照前后,填空时不要一空一空地去填。要对照前后部分。尤其是一个句子中多个空时,更需要你将临近的一句或几句作为一个整体来选择。比如第五小题We don’t____5____ it at all.根据前文的描述可知,这里是作者心理变化的体现,不在介意女孩唱歌了,所以用的是mind。
