1.C 2.E 3.A 4.B 5.D 6.D 7.C 8.B
具体解题分析在后面的答題技巧中还将详细阐释。
举这个例子的目的,是为了使我们对阅读第一部分的试题形式有一个直观的了解。题目中的论 句是用不同于文聿的措辞来表达的。我们应该首先读论句,以便有的放矢地浏览文章的过程中找到 可以与之匹配的文章。这一部分考点是:能否理解论句的语言,并将它与文章内容联系起来。
解答搭配题的顺序是什么?
(1)迅速浏览文章。
(2)非常仔细地阅读所有的问题。
(3)重新读问題,利用关键词找出所需内容。
(4)统筹安排,完成题目。
如何实现答题效率最大化?
要有整体意识,尽可能地注意y标答案之外的相关内容.抓住关键词。要努力培养一脑多用的习惯,如 果町能,就应该在利用关键词找到问题答案的同时,带着多个问题浏览文章.以实现答题效率最大化。
还是以第24个问题的文章的例题为例:
(1)首先快速地看八个论句,在理解整体意思的基础上抓关键词。
如,在本题的论句1,3和7中.我们都看到了关键词director:
第七个论句:This company is losing a director but will replace him.
我们可以针对发生的特殊事件来关注关键词.一般句中的动词或词组都暗示了一些重要信息。 在第一个论句中,我们可以抓住director和replace这两个词。
第一个论句:A director of this company is leaving to pursue non-commercial activities.
在这一句中,我们同样很快注意到director这个关键词,同时从特殊事件的角度留意到non-com-mercialo
第三个论句:A director of this company is leaving to devote himself to his own business.
director 一词又一次出现,还有own business值得注意。
(2)接下来,快速浏览五篇文章,寻找匹配关键词,与文章相对应。
这时我们会看到,文章A和文章C都含有关键词director,在文章C中,看到结尾处引号内的 "long standing academic interests" 时,我们应该很快意识到这是第一个论句里 non-commercial activities 的对应表达,而紧接着的下句中,be taken over则是第七个论句子replace的对应表达。这样,答案就显 而易见,第一和第七论句的答案都对应C.选项。
同样,在浏览文章A的过程中,我们可以在结尾找到第三个论句关键own business的对应表达方 式be free to pursue,所以答案为A。
按什么顺序解答搭配题?
在做题过程中,常常会遇到不能确定,模棱两可或确实找不出所需内容的情况。考场上,一定 不要钻牛角尖,拘泥于题目的先后顺序,及时向后转移注意力才是明智之举。先回答下一个问题一 很可能你就会在后面与你想要的答案不期而遇。
