試題分析：在答題中，應(yīng)首先略讀一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把幾個選項含義理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表達(dá)有交叉的選項之間的區(qū)別。然后再細(xì)讀短文，把答案填入合適位置。答題時可以把含義相近的幾個選項輪流填入同一處位置，反復(fù)閱讀，反復(fù)體會，找出最佳選項，對于實在沒有把握的小題可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再認(rèn)真通讀一遍全文，看看上下語意是否通順，是否符合邏輯關(guān)系。
小題1:went missing 本短語中的go是一個系動詞，missing是一個形容詞，go missing失蹤；句義：美國的警察加快尋找失蹤的15歲男孩Justin的節(jié)奏。
小題2:due to      固定都due to由于…；由于看見了一些令人困惑的光線，人們對于這件事情表現(xiàn)出了濃厚的興趣。
小題3:disappearance  上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)第一句的go missing失蹤，說明本句表示的是男孩的失蹤，故使用動詞disappear的名詞disappearance。
小題4:creatures 名詞creature生物，該詞是有動詞create轉(zhuǎn)換而來，而且前面有l(wèi)ot of修飾，所以使用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
小題5:assumed  動詞assume認(rèn)為，相當(dāng)于think，suppose；但是媽媽認(rèn)為Kelly肯定是做夢了，又讓她上床睡覺了。
小題6:dismissed   動詞dismiss排除；警察排除了Justin被外星人帶走的可能性，但是仍然在調(diào)查其他的可能性。
小題7:made up 固定搭配make up化妝，編造，彌補(bǔ)，組成；有時候人們會編造一些很奇怪的故事。
小題8:convincing 形容詞convincing令人信服的；該詞是由動詞convince使…相信轉(zhuǎn)換而來的形容詞。
