Cloze Reading — HSK 2
Cloze reading is the familiar "read a passage, pick the word for the blank" question from the real HSK reading section — unlike simple fill-in-the-blank, the blank sits inside a whole passage, so you have to read and understand the surrounding context to infer the best word. The blanked word is always a keyword from HSK 2 reading content, never a random stitched-together sentence.

FAQ
How do I figure out the missing word?
Read the whole surrounding passage (not just the sentence with the blank), then use the context to infer the word that fits best — the same inferential reading skill the real HSK exam tests.
Is the blanked word an obscure or difficult one?
No — it's a keyword from the HSK 2 passage's own glossary, meaning it's an important word for that content, not a rare character or something above your level.
