問(wèn)題(1)要求回答美國(guó)國(guó)旗圖案自1777年以來(lái)變化了幾次。回答這樣的題目須把文中所有提及1777年以來(lái)美國(guó)國(guó)旗變更次數(shù)的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)劃出:1795;July 4, 1818; since 1912; a year earlier the 49th; July 4, 1960
文中似乎只提及5處,但是文內(nèi)又提到1818年時(shí)為20顆星,以后每加入一個(gè)州增加一顆星,從文中又可看出1912年增加的是第47和48顆星。從第20顆星到47顆星之間必然還有若干次變動(dòng),因此答案應(yīng)為(D),即:變動(dòng)次數(shù)為5次以上。
問(wèn)題(2)提問(wèn)的是1912年7月4日以前的情況。由于新墨西哥和亞里桑那于1912年7月4日加入聯(lián)邦,國(guó)旗上星的數(shù)目增至48顆。因此,1912年7月4日以前國(guó)旗上的星數(shù)應(yīng)為46顆。正確答案為(C)。
問(wèn)題(3)的答案為(A)。其根據(jù)為T(mén)he 50th star had been added for Hawaii, a year earlier the 49th, for Alaska.
問(wèn)題(4)的答案為(D),其根據(jù)是symbolizing the 13 original states
二、 當(dāng)問(wèn)題要求對(duì)某一事實(shí)作出正誤判斷或詢(xún)問(wèn)文中是否提到某一事實(shí)時(shí),我們應(yīng)先把所給的選擇項(xiàng)大體上看一下,做到心中有數(shù)。然后,根據(jù)選擇項(xiàng)中提供的線索,迅速找到文章中相應(yīng)的部分,細(xì)讀一下有關(guān)內(nèi)容。與文中內(nèi)容一致的即可肯定,不一致的即可否定。注意,在回答Not True之類(lèi)問(wèn)題時(shí),必須逐項(xiàng)找出須肯定的內(nèi)容,方可確定要否定的內(nèi)容。切勿一遇到自己認(rèn)為不正確的內(nèi)容,便匆忙答題,不再去考慮其它選擇項(xiàng),這樣常常會(huì)導(dǎo)致錯(cuò)誤。
例二:Directions: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to the question.
One word that sums up our age better than any other — whether “our age ”is “the technological age” of western countries or the “modernizing age” of China — is the word CHANGE. But has change not always been present? True, but never before at such a breakneck speed. Today it is more than just change. It is unprecedented change. In such a world, reading provides the best tool we have for keeping up and for avoiding future shock in a world continually being remade.
Which of the following is NOT true?
(A) Western countries and China are being remade.
(B) Reading will help understand our age.
(C) The present age and future world are continually changing.
(D) Reading is the best tool provided by our age.
(A)、(B)、(C)項(xiàng)均與文章中的意義一致,(D)不符。因?yàn)槲闹姓f(shuō)的是“Reading serves as the best tool for us.”(對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō),閱讀可以作為一個(gè)最好的工具。);而不是如選擇項(xiàng)(D)所表示的那樣:“Reading is the best tool provided by our age.”(閱讀是由我們時(shí)代所提供的最好的工具)。所以,我們將答案確定為(D)。
三、在文章中,為避免重復(fù)提及某一詞或短語(yǔ),作者常常使用指代詞(Reference Words)來(lái)代替。在尋找細(xì)節(jié)時(shí),讀者須準(zhǔn)確理解被指代的對(duì)象。通常,我們可根據(jù)上下文的句子結(jié)構(gòu)、主謂一致關(guān)系以及語(yǔ)義關(guān)系等來(lái)確定所指代的內(nèi)容。
例三:
The basketball team never lacked vociferous supporters, but they rarely responded to this show of enthusiasm.
文中黑體詞they若是指高聲呼叫的支持音,則與后面的意思(對(duì)這種熱情很少作出響應(yīng))不合。因此they只能指球隊(duì)隊(duì)員。
例四:
Scott Fitzgerald, who first introduced him to a publisher, was one of the few contemporary writers that Hemingway did not turn against.
文中黑體him若指的是主語(yǔ)Scott Fitzgerald,則應(yīng)該用反身代詞himself,而不能用him,因此這里只能指后文的〖WT〗Hemingway.
在閱讀理解測(cè)試中,要求查找主要事實(shí)或特定細(xì)節(jié)的問(wèn)題常有以下幾種形式:
1. Which of the following statements is (not) true (or correct)?
2. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?
3. All of the following are true except...
4. The author (or the passage) states that...
5. According to the passage, when (where, why, how, who, what, which, etc)?
