其中有且僅有A選項,含有專用名詞GRE, 有含有數(shù)字,因而對的可能性更小。
4. 四個選項中,僅有一個或者兩個選項含有聽力中很少涉及的詞匯,則該選項一般不對。例如:
A) He was kept in hospital for a long time.
B) He was slightly injured in a traffic accident.
C) He was seriously wounded in a mine explosion.
D) He was fined for speeding.
C選項含有mine explosion在聽力和日?谡Z中很少涉及,因而對的可能性很小。
5. 內(nèi)容不合常理、比較荒謬的選項一般不對。例如:
A) Most people killed in traffic accidents are heavy drinkers.
B) She doesn’t agree with the man.
C)Drunk drivers are not guilty.
D) People should pay more attention to the danger of drunk driving.
其中的A選項是不合常理的,大多數(shù)死于交通事故的人是醉鬼車輪下的冤魂,而不是被稱為“馬路殺手”的醉酒司機,C選項就更為荒謬,Drunk drivers無罪,天理難容!
6. 含義比較絕對、過于極端的選項一般不對。一般說來,含有too(太)anything, everything等含義比較絕對的選項是不對的。 例如:
A) She takes it as a kind of exercise. B) She wants to save money.
C) She loves doing anything that is new. D) Her office isn't very far.
其中,A選項含義比較絕對,除非有很大把握,一般不能作為正確選項。
二) 重點預(yù)選的技巧 1. 含義相反或者相對的兩個選項,正確選項一般就在其中。例如:
A) The woman should confirm her appointment with the doctor.
B) The woman should have seen the doctor earlier.
C) The woman’s headache will go away by itself.
D) The woman has been complaining too much.
其中,B和C選項的含義相反,正確答案就在其中,C選項一般不符合常理(得了病一般能扛著嗎?不能,何況是貪生怕死的英美人?),因而只能是B答案正確。
又例如:
A) Henry doesn't like the color. B) Someone else painted the house.
C) There was no ladder in the house. D) Henry painted the house himself.
B選項和D選項相對,因而答案就在其中。
2. 結(jié)構(gòu)相差很小、含義差別較大的選項,正確選項一般就在其中。例如:
(A) At a cigarette store (C) At a gas station (B) At a bus station (D) At Aunt Mary's
其中的B和C選項,結(jié)構(gòu)非常相似,僅差一個詞,答案一般就在其中。
