解題思路: 句子中最核心的信息首先就是該句的邏輯關(guān)系。原句的邏輯關(guān)系可以由result from 來判斷,為因果關(guān)系。借此我們就可以縮小選項范圍,首先排除掉C,D 選項。剩下的A,B 兩個選項均包含因果的邏輯關(guān)系。接下來我們可以根據(jù)句子的第二種核心信息:主語,來判斷。原句的主語是Desertification 沙漠化,而B 項的主語是Slowing down the process of desertification 減緩沙漠化進程。所以排除掉B 選項,A 為正確答案。 將通過程度詞解題和借助邏輯關(guān)系解題結(jié)合起來,對于解答帶有邏輯關(guān)系的復(fù)雜句的釋義題很有幫助。我們看下面這道題目: It is one of the most important sensations because it is translated into a negative reaction, such as withdrawal from danger. Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information. A. Escaping from danger is a negative reaction, but it is the most important thing an individual learns. B. The ability to sense pain is extremely important because pain signals the body to respond to a threat. C. Experiencing pain is one type of reaction to a negative stimulus; another type is avoiding danger. D. We experience a lot of sensations, and the most important ones are translated into appropriate actions. ( 本題節(jié)選自,新托??荚噦淇疾呗耘c模擬試題,群言出版社,P150,第1 題) 瀏覽原句,從because 可以看出邏輯關(guān)系為因果關(guān)系,并且原句當(dāng)中有絕對化詞匯most。僅僅憑借most 這個程度很強的詞匯我們可以排除C 選項。因為原文當(dāng)中帶有絕對化詞匯而選項中沒有,那么這個選項為必錯選項。接下來利用邏輯關(guān)系排除A 項,A 中為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。而B 恰恰有because 這個詞,此外B 中的extremely 可以作為most的同義替換。正確答案為B。 幾乎每一篇文章后面都會有一道釋義題,因此考生應(yīng)加強練習(xí)。平時在閱讀文章,或者報刊雜志的時候不僅僅要把注意力放在讀懂原文上,還應(yīng)該注意原文的邏輯關(guān)系,培養(yǎng)根據(jù)邏輯關(guān)系思考的習(xí)慣。另外,一些程度詞的存在也會影響我們對原文的精確理解,平時閱讀的時候應(yīng)當(dāng)多加關(guān)注。 4. 句子插入題 Insert Text questions █ Most investigators concur that certain facial expressions suggest the same emotions in all people. █ Moreover, people in diverse cultures recognize the emotions manifested by the facial expressions. █ In classic research Paul Ekman took photographs of people exhibiting the emotions of anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness. █ He then asked people around the world to indicate what emotions were being depicted in them. 12. Look at the four squares █ that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. This universality in the recognition of emotions was demonstrated by using rather simple methods. Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square [ ■ ] to add the sentence to the passage. 解題思路: Insert Text question。該題型要求考生將一句話插入到原文四個黑色空格的其中一個當(dāng)中,使得段落看起來更通順。首先可以從這個單獨的句子中找到暗示點,例如,本題待插入句子為:This universality in the recognition of emotions was demonstrated by using rather simple methods. 主語部分為:這個對于感情的認(rèn)知的普遍性。如果待插入句子中出現(xiàn)代詞,則代詞所指內(nèi)容應(yīng)當(dāng)在該句之前出現(xiàn),結(jié)合這道題目,在這個句子應(yīng)當(dāng)插入的空之前必有:對于感情認(rèn)知的普遍性。這道題目選擇第三個黑色方框,其之前的句子為: Moreover, people in diverse cultures recognize the emotions manifested by the facial expressions. 意思是:另外,來自不同文化背景的人能夠通過面部表情的識別來判斷對方的情緒。來自不同文化背景的人都可以判斷出來,這里暗示了universality 普遍性。同時,放在第三個空也可以對應(yīng)后面的內(nèi)容。待插入句子說到“demonstrated by using rather simple methods”:可以用簡單的方式證明,對應(yīng)第三個空后方的句子:In classic research Paul Ekman took photographs(在經(jīng)典的研究項目當(dāng)中)。 再來看一道題目, Sigmund Freud, for example, believed that aggressive impulses are inevitable reactions to the frustrations of daily life. Children normally desire to vent aggressive impulses on other people, including their parents, because even the most attentive parents cannot gratify all of their demands immediately. ■ Yet children, also fearing their parents' punishment and the loss of parental love, come to repress most aggressive impulses. ■ The Freudian perspective, in a sense: sees us as "steam engines." ■ By holding in rather than venting "steam," we set the stage for future explosions. ■ Pent-up aggressive impulses demand outlets. They may be expressed toward parents in indirect ways such as destroying furniture, or they may be expressed toward strangers later in life. 11. Look at the four squares [ ■ ] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage. According to Freud, however, impulses that have been repressed continue to exist and demand expression. Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square [ ■ ] to add the sentence to the passage. 首先我們來看待插入句子:According to Freud, however, impulses that have been repressed continue to exist and demand expression. 本句的前半句說道,According to Freud,(根據(jù)弗洛伊德的理論); 后半句:impulses that have been repressed continue to exist and demand expression. 被壓抑的沖動會持續(xù)存在并且需要表達。這個句子是一句概括性的陳述,一般概括性陳述的后方需要有具體的細(xì)節(jié)句子來提供支持解釋。所以這道題目選擇第二個空。第二空格之后緊跟:The Freudian perspective, in a sense: sees us as "steam engines."(從某種意義上講,弗洛伊德的觀點是將人類看做“蒸汽機”)。這里既可以對應(yīng)Freud,又有具體的細(xì)節(jié)交代,說持續(xù)存在的沖動,就好比蒸汽機,這里的steam engines是解釋他觀點的具體細(xì)節(jié)。 |
