Cloze Reading — HSK 5
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 5 reading content, never a random stitched-together sentence.
Sample question
Artificial Intelligence and the Future
近年来，人工智能的发展对许多行业的格局产生了深远的影响。从行政工作到数据分析，AI能快速处理和＿＿海量数据，极大增强了我们的工作能力。人工智能还让购物和游戏的体验更加真实，吸引了大量用户。在舆论场上，关于人工智能的讨论日益激烈，因为它正在改变社会的基础设施和商业模式。比如，在医疗领域，AI可以辅助疾病诊断，甚至帮助医生为慢性病患者制定康复方案。在艺术方面，它能归纳艺术风格的特点，协助创作者设计出创新的作品。对于那些独自生活的人，人工智能带来的陪伴和便利也是一种慰藉。当然，我们在肯定其进步的同时，也要保持清醒，预见它可能带来的各种影响。无论是用于鉴定古代陶器的算法，还是辅助审稿的程序，人工智能的应用都超出了我们的想象。

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 5 passage's own glossary, meaning it's an important word for that content, not a rare character or something above your level.
