In Cambodia, the choice of a spouse配偶is a complex one for the young male. It may involve not only his parents and his friends, __1__those of the young woman, but also amatchmaker媒人. A young man can __2__ a likely spouse on his own and then ask his parents to __3__the marriage negotiations, or the young man’s parents may take the choice of a spouse, giving the child little to say in the selection. __4__, a girl may veto否决权the spouse her parents have chosen. __5__ a spouse has been selected, each family investigates the other to make sure its child is marrying __6__ a good family.在柬埔寨,对于年轻男性来说,选择配偶是一个难题。这不仅会涉及到他的父母和他的朋友,以及涉及到年轻女性的父母和朋友,还会涉及到媒人。一个年轻男子可以自行决定一个差不多的配偶。然后可以寻求他的父母来安排婚姻的协商问题。或者这个年轻男子的父母直接选择孩子的配偶,不给这个孩子选择的机会。理论上,女孩儿有对父母给他选择伴侣的拒绝的权力,当配偶选择之后,每个家庭都调查对方家庭,以便确保他们的孩子嫁到了一个好的家庭里面。1. A. by way of经由,经过B. with regard to关于 C. on behalf of D. as well as以及答案:D 。句中有not only but also,根据首句知道“男性择偶很复杂”,不仅涉及男方亲友、女方亲友,还涉及到媒人,显然空格填写并列关系短语;B选项“关于”多用于对某事物的说明,a conutry’s law with regard to human rights;A选项误认为“男方亲友经由女方亲友向女方提亲”。2. A. decide on B. provide for 供养 C. compete with与…竞争 D. adapt to适应答案:A 。后文有父母“take the choice of”,可知前面必然是孩子自身可以“decide on”,文中“or”这个词要注意,是解决本题关键3. A. close B. arrange C. renew D. postpone答案:B 。根据句意,男性自主选择对象之后就会让父母提亲,arrange合适。4. A. In theory B. Above all 最重要的是C. In time最终;及时 D. For example答案:A 。根据句中父母giving the child little to say in the selection暗含父母包办婚姻,可知女孩选择配偶的自由只能在理论上成立。above all是递进关系,而此句前后是并列关系。5. A. Unless B. Lest以免 C. After D. Although答案:C 。配偶选定,双方家庭调查背景,unless表条件,lest表目的,although表让步,after表顺承关系6. A. into B. within C. from D. through 答案:A 。marry into嫁入一个….家庭,固定搭配,through不能与marry搭配The traditional wedding is a long and colorful affair. Formerlyit lasted three days, __7__1980s it more commonly lasted a day and a half. Buddhistpriests offer a short sermon布道 and __8__ prayers祷告of blessing. Parts of the ceremony involve ritual仪式 hair cutting,__9__cotton threads soaked in holy water around the bride's and groom's wrists, and __10__a candle around a circle of happily married and respected couples to bless the __11__. Newlyweds traditionally move in with the wife's parents and may__12__ with them up to a year, __13__they can build a new house nearby.传统婚礼是又长又有趣味的大事,以前持续三天,自从20世纪80年代,婚礼一般持续一天半。佛教僧侣进行简短的布道,并且吟诵主祷词。仪式包括剪发仪式,把在水中浸泡过的棉线缠绕在新娘和新郎的手腕上,那些婚姻幸福又受人尊敬的夫妇绕城一圈将一个蜡烛依次传递以祝福新婚夫妇。新婚夫妇在传统上要搬到妻子的父母家居住最多长达一年,直到他们能在附近建造自己的新房子。7. A. or B. since C. but D. so答案:C 。由Formerlyit lasted three days, __7__1980s it lasted a day and a half. 可以知道前后对比关系,所以用but表对比;since自从,与by 语义重复 8. A. test B. copy C. recite 吟诵 D. create答案:C 。and表连接,前面是offer a short sermon,后面的祝祷词自然就是吟诵祝祷词。 9. A. folding 折叠 B. piling 堆放 C. wrapping 打包 D. tying答案:D 。D选项是系,绑的意思,原句是将棉线缠绕在新郎新娘手腕上,表示永结连理的意思,所以用tie——tying的形式。10. A. passing B. lighting C. hiding D. serving答案:A 。这个很容易选择B,但是文中说一根蜡烛祝福新人,而且词组Pass sth around,light ….around搭配不合理11. A. association B. meeting C. collection D. union答案:D 。A选项是“联盟”,强调机构团体,B选项相遇、遇见、会面,C选项“聚集”,只有D是联姻、联合12. A. deal B. part C. grow D. live答案:D 。live with搭配,与….生活在一起,grow with是伴随…一起成长,part with不情愿的放弃某物,deal with对付、对待,只有D选项合适13. A. whereas 然而,但是 B. until C. for D. if答案:B 。根据上下文,搬进妻子父母的家,住一年,后面盖一个房子,则两者之间存在时间条件关系,只有Until既表示时间又表示条件。A选项表示转折,C选项表因果,D选项表示条件Divorce is legal and easy to __14__, but not common. Divorced persons are __15__ with some disapproval. Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage, and jointly-acquired property is __18__ equally. Divorced persons may remarry, but a gender prejudice __19__up. The divorced male doesn't have a waiting period before he can remarry __20__the woman must wait ten months.离婚是合法的而且很容易实现,但是并不常见,离婚的人不被认同,夫妻之间保持自己带进婚姻的任何财产,共同财产平均分配,离婚的人可以再婚,但是性别歧视会显现出来:离婚的男性不用有等待期,而离婚的女性必须等待十个月才能再婚。14. A. avoid B. follow效仿C. challenge D. obtain实现答案:D 。前面是合法,后面有but转折,所以14应该与合法并列,即容易得到、实现;follow有理解、领会的含义,但和disapproval矛盾,排除15. A. isolated 孤立,区别看待 B. persuaded C. viewed 看待 D. exposed暴露答案:C 。viewed with词组“以….的目光看待”,A选项和from搭配,isolate sb from sb/sth,exposed与to搭配,不与with搭配16. A. wherever B. whatever C. whenever D. however答案:B 。句子是宾从,只有whatever能引导宾从,D选项引导方式状语,C选项引导时间状语,A选项引导地点状语17. A. changed B. brought C. shaped D. pushed答案:B 。根据常识,离婚后财产分割包括婚前各人财产和婚后共同财产,只有bring …. into,即婚前夫妻各自带来的财产18. A. invested 投资B. divided C. donated捐献 D. withdrawn取出答案:B 。这句是说婚后共同财产处置,按照常识也是平分,更何况还有个equally,只有B分割更为符合题意19. A. warms B. clears C. shows D. breaks答案:C 。介绍离婚人士再婚,冒号后面的句子是对男女离婚后的不同对待,也就说明男女存在性别偏见,离婚后偏见会“显露”出来,show up也是词组显露,而clear up是清晰起来,warm up活跃起来,break up终结,都不符合题意20. A. while 然而 B. so that C. once D. in that因为答案:A 。表示前后对比,while表示转折,符合题意。
大家好,咱们来看一篇完形填空,这篇是1996年考研英语试卷一的完形,是一篇介绍维生素的科普性小短文,可以先做题,最后有答案讲解。Vitamins are organic compounds necessary in small amounts in the diet for the normal growth and maintenance of life of animals, including man.They do not provide energy, 1 do they construct or build any part of the body. They are needed for 2 foods into energy and body maintenance. There are thirteen or more of them, and if 3 is missing a deficiency disease becomes 4 .Vitamins are similar because they are made of the same elements—usually carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and 5 nitrogen. They are different 6 their elements are arranged differently, and each vitamin 7 one or more specific functions in the body.8 enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for 9 vitamins. Many people, 10 , believe in being on the “safe side” and thus take extra vitamins. However, a wellbalanced diet will usually meet all the body’s vitamin needs.1.[A]either [B]so [C]nor [D]never2.[A]shifting [B]transferring [C]altering [D]transforming3.[A]any [B]some [C]anything [D]something4.[A]serious [B]apparent [C]severe [D]fatal5.[A]mostly [B]partially [C]sometimes [D]rarely6.[A]in that [B]so that [C]such that [D]except that7.[A]undertakes [B]holds [C]plays [D]performs8.[A]Supplying [B]Getting [C]Providing [D]Furnishing9.[A]exceptional [B]exceeding [C]excess [D]external10.[A]nevertheless [B]therefore [C]moreover [D]meanwhile试题讲解:1.[A] either [B] so [C] nor [D] never[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:否定倒装句的连词。空格前文讲到维生素不能提供能量,是一个否定句;后文讲到它们构建身体的任何部分,是倒装句,因此选项必须既能引导倒装句,又能与前面的否定相呼应。四个选项中,either表示“也”,可以用在否定句中,但一般放在句尾,例如:She didn’t go there, either(她也不去);so 可以引导倒装句,但它用在肯定句中,表示“也”,如:They can leave now, so can we.(他们现在可以离开了,我们也能)。nor也可以引导倒装句,并可用在否定句中,构成not...nor...(既不…也不…)固定结构,如:You can’t do it, nor can I.(你不能做这件事,我也不能);never也可以引导倒装句,表示否定,但它必须放在句首,如:Never in my life have I heard such nonsense.(我一辈子都没听说过这样的无稽之谈)。综合以上因素,C为正确选项。2.[A] shifting替换,转移 [B] transferring迁移,移动,传递[C] altering改变,变动 [D] transforming转换,改变[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:习惯搭配 + 动词词义辨析。空格所在句子的含义是“需要维生素将食物转化为能量,以维持身体的健康”。空格填入的分词需和into搭配,并符合文意。transform常与into搭配,强调的是“事物大的变革或质的改变”。在此从food(食物)到energy(能量)的转变是一种质的改变,因此,D符合句意。shift 不与into搭配,如:The wind shifted to the south(风转向南吹);transfer多用于位置的改变,也不与into搭配,如:His employer transferred him to another office.(老板把他调到了另一个办公室);alter强调部分或少量的变动,程度较轻,如:These clothes are too large; they must be altered.(这些衣服太大,得修改)。因此以上三个词都不能表示事物质的改变。知识点补充:trans-为前缀,与动词连用,表示“横过,越过”或“转变,转移”,例如:transact(办理, 交易, 谈判, 处理),transatlantic(横渡大西洋的),trans-national(跨越国界的),transplant(移植),transport(运输)。3.[A] any任何一个 [B] some一些[C] anything任何事物 [D] something某事物[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:不定代词的用法。空格所在句子是一个由and连接的并列句,前一个分句There are thirteen or more of them中的them指的是vitamins,后一个分句是一个由if引导的条件状语从句,意为“如果…缺乏,(会出现)维生素缺乏症。”由于if引导的从句中谓语动词is是单数,因而,只能由一个表示单数意义的不定代词作为被选项。首先排除some,它一般用于肯定句,做主语时谓语动词用复数;其次anything与something泛指任何事或某些事,放入句中不符句意;any放入后相当于any of them,即“任何维生素”。注意any一般用于否定或疑问句中,做主语时,谓语动词常用单数,如:Any of the hunters is able to catch the tiger single-handed.(任何一个猎人都能单独抓住老虎)。因此答案只能选A。4.[A] serious严重的,严肃的,认真的 [B] apparent明显的[C] severe严厉的,剧烈的,严峻的 [D] fatal致命的[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:形容词词义辨析。本题要求考生判断,如果缺乏任何一种维生素,缺乏症就会变得怎样。四个备选项表示的程度不同,从语意的角度来说都可以与disease相搭配。但是,根据上下文,这里需要填入一个准确描述疾病症状的词。serious、severe和fatal这几个词都表示程度严重,甚至危及生命。但上下文没有暗示缺乏一种维生素会导致严重的后果,因此,这三个词都不可作为被选项。apparent只是简单地描述了疾病的症状,为正确选项。5.[A] mostly大部分,主要地 [B] partially部分地[C] sometimes 有时候 [D] rarely很少地,罕有地[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:逻辑语义搭配 + 副词词义辨析。本句破折号后举例说明维生素的组成成分:碳、氢、氧和5氮,and 表明各成分之间为并列关系,那么,选项应与usually相呼应。usually是频度副词,选项也应是频度副词。选项中,mostly和partially不是频率副词,而是强调事物部分与整体的关系,如:The audience consisted mostly of women.(观众主要是妇女);The driver is partially to blame for the accident.(司机对那次车祸应负部分责任)。rarely是频率副词,但它含否定含义,若用于句中,之前的连词and应改为表示转折关系的but。所以只有sometimes为正确选项。全句意为“通常是碳、氢、氧,有些时候还有氮”。6.[A] in that在…方面;因为[B] so that以致,以便,(引导结果或目的状语从句)[C] such that那样,以至,(不能连接两个完整的句子)[D] except that除了[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:逻辑关系。上句提到维生素相似的原因,这句开始提到维生素也是有区别的,由于两个句子是平行的结构,我们可以预测,本句的后半句也会解释为什么不同。下文果然提到原因是“元素的排列方式不同,每种元素在人体内(有)一种或多种特殊功能”。因此空格处应填入表因果关系并连接原因状语从句的短语。选项中,except that不表因果,so that和such that后面接结果。只有in that后面接原因,并且空格前面的different与介词in连用,表示“在哪一方面不同”。例句补充:Self-criticism is necessary in that it helps us to correct our mistakes.(自我批评是必要的,因为它能帮助我们改正错误);Speak louder so that all the people in the hall can hear you.(大声点讲, 以便大厅里的人都能听清);The situation was such that political observers found it difficult to predict.(形势如此,连政治观察家们也觉得难以预料);His account is correct except that some details are omitted.(除了有些细节未提到之外,他的叙述是正确的)。7.[A] undertakes承担,采取 [B] holds保存,把握,握有[C] plays担当,承担 [D] performs表演,执行,履行[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:动宾搭配。本题考查动词与function的搭配。四个选项中能与function搭配的只有perform,即perform a function(具有…的功能,发挥…的作用),如:The brain performs a very important function: it controls the nervous system of the body.(大脑具有非常重要的功能,它控制着身体内的神经系统)。在文中,它意为“每种元素在人体内承担一种或多种特殊的功能”。其它能与function搭配的动词还有fulfill、serve等。其它选项的常用搭配有:undertake a mission/task/project承担使命/任务/工程;hold a share持有股份;play a role/part扮演…角色。8.[A] Supplying补给,供给,提供,补充[B] Getting获得,变成,收获,使得[C] Providing供应,供给,准备,预防 [D] Furnishing供应,提供,装备,布置[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:动名词的逻辑主语 + 动词词义辨析。本题空格所在句子是一个含让步状语从句的复合句:8enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for9vitamins,其中空格部分和enough vitamins构成动名词的复合结构做主句的主语。考生关键要判断出,空格处填入的动名词的逻辑主语也就是后面although引导的让步状语从句中的主语,即:the body。这样,动名词所表示的动作必须是the body发出来的,又能接enough vitamins做宾语。选项中,Supplying,Providing和Furnishing均表示“提供,供应”,动作的发出者不是“身体”。句子表达的含义是身体需要获取维生素的营养,而不是“提供”,因此只有Getting(获取,获得)符合。知识点补充:supply、provide、furnish是一组近义词,都有“提供,供应”含义。furnish主要指提供一些基本的必要物品,可译为“配备”,如:furnish the new apartment(为新房间配备家具);supply强调“提供物品以备需要的时候用”,可译为“供给,供应”,它常和with搭配,如:supply the market with new commodities(向市场供应新商品);provide也强调“提供物品,为…做准备”,它常和介词for,with和against搭配。provide...with...意为“给…提供”,provide for/against都指“为可能的困难做准备,防备”,如:He worked hard to provide for his old age.(他努力赚钱以防老)。9.[A] exceptional例外的,异常的 [B] exceeding非常的,极度的,过度的[C] excess额外的,多余的 [D] external外部的,客观的,外用的[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:上下文语义 + 形容词词义辨析。本题空格所在部分是although引导的让步状语从句。前面主句提到,获取足够维生素是必要的,因此从句很可能要从相反的角度来说明获取维生素对人体的意义。have use for是固定短语,意为“需要”,主要用于否定和疑问句中,如:I have no further use for it.(我不再需要它了)。因此,根据所在从句的含义,考生需判断人体对什么维生素没有营养上的需要。选项中,首先排除external和exceptional,因为不存在“外部的维生素”或“例外的维生素”;剩下两个选项中,exceeding用来指被修饰的成分超出了一般的限度,如:exceeding darkness(极度黑暗),exceeding beauty(美丽无比),显然,它不能直接修饰“维生素”;只有excess指“超过正常或所需数额的数量”,强调“摄入过多的维生素”符合逻辑。10.[A] nevertheless然而,不过,(表示转折关系)[B] therefore因此,所以,(表因果关系)[C] moreover而且,此外,(表示递进关系)[D] meanwhile(=at the same time)同时,(表示时间关系)两个逗号之间的空格处应填入一个逻辑连接词,因此考生需判断空格所在句子和上文之间的逻辑关系。上文提到,过量维生素对身体没有营养价值,接着作者指出很多人的心态:为“安全”考虑,而服用额外的维生素。从语意上看,两句之间存在转折关系,选择项应该是一个表示转折关系的词,因此nevertheless为正确答案。整个句子意为“尽管获取过量的维生素对身体没有营养价值,但很多人出于安全考虑,还是摄取额外的维生素。”
作为挡在考研英语前面的第一道拦路虎,完型好不好真的很影响后面做题的心情。比如,做练习卷的时候,强哥自己每一次遇到做不出来的完形,心里总是有块石头,动不动想要回过头再看看,但经常因此错过了其他的重要点。当然,如果实在怕完型,也可以放在卷子最后再做。如果把完型放在第一个做,那拿下第一道拦路虎赢下开门红是非常重要的,今天介绍一些小技巧,希望能帮助大家多多上分。我们的口号是:在有限的时间内一边“蒙”,一边保6争7冲8总体策略完形填空我一般是花15分钟-20分钟做的,但不少经验帖说控制在15分钟之内,管他的呢,能拿分,来得及做完就行,选择你最舒适的做题方法即可根据文章的情感发展线索,会出现情节的跌宕起伏,找准情况变化的人物或事件,在理解文章大意的基础上,根据选项词性,上下文出现的线索,文章中前后出现了对应的限定,搭配关系来综合判断。做题的顺序上,有人主张先看选项,再来看文章。也有的老师推荐通读全文之后,了解文章大致内容再来分析选项。方法没有对错,总之能抓到老鼠的就是好猫。但需要提醒大家一定不要花太多的精力去逐字逐句读、更不需要逐字逐句翻译,主要在于搞清楚逻辑关系词【选项中】+空格前后的逻辑关系。这里分享一点点我自己的做题方法仅供参考step1:看选项step2:看文章前面1-2句话,猜大概要讲什么,然后看挖空的话在问什么step3:带入判断/验证,通过空格前后“关键词+句型结构”判断逻辑关系是否与原文相匹配区别常见套路(1)选项中出现2个对立意思的词,正确选项是其中一个;(2)选项中有2~3个近义实词,正解在其中;因为,考研往往喜欢考察熟词僻义词,所以经常出现多个意思接近的实词词汇,考察考生是否掌握他们之间的区别【这块内容比较难】(3)考查固定搭配后这30天,大家能再抢救一下完形填空的就是好好看看高频词,特别是固定搭配和熟词僻义。把既往做错的题再过一遍,基本就差不多了。加油老铁们,你们一定可以的!
以上仅供参考哦!要是早就跟着别的老师学过做完形的童鞋们可以根据别的老师的来哦!其实方法说实话大同小异,只是说可能不同的老师的说法不一样。总之,最后的目的都是拿分拿分拿分,所以只要最后的做题方法对拿分有效的就可的。“不管白猫黑猫,能抓到耗子的就是好猫”,所以最后的结果比较重要,毕竟这是应试考试,最后的目的是要过线,进复试,考上对吧?
完形填空是考研英语的一个固定的题型,每年都要考的。但是针对22考研的童鞋们,不建议大家花大量的时间在这个题型上,早期也不用看这个题型 。早期最主要的就是单词和长难句,然后暑假的时候可以开始研究真题。下面先看一下完形填空的一个概述,了解一下这个题型的一个大概的情况。具体的做题方法:最后,啰嗦一下。因为很多童鞋,真的考试的时候,题目都做不完,这个题型很多人都是乱做的,就根据方法来选的(我自己反正是),所以不建议大家花大量的时间来做这个,要是英语基础很好的童鞋,要拿高分的您自己斟酌哈。以上只针对我这种英语真的很普通的人的笨办法!

A below B after C above D before18. A jump B float C fluctuate D dropSimonsohn博士发现如果在同一天,一个申请人的分数比前一个高0.75分,那么下一个申请者的分数将平均下降0.075分。解析:答案17:D。句中逻辑the previous….before that…..the next,所以before答案18:D。前面是增加,后面自然是减少,所以选择drop。A jump 暴涨B float 漂浮C fluctuate 波动D drop下降,减少This might sound small, but to_19_the effects of such a decrease a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise have been _20__.19. A achieve B undo C maintain D disregard20. A necessary B possible C promising D helpful这个分数听起来很小,但是要抵消它的影响申请人需要在GMAT中比正常情况下高出30分。解析:答案19:B。使无效,废除A achieve 获得,实现C maintain 保持D disregard不理会答案20:A。这里指的是,正常情况下和受偏见影响下所需的分数的差异。而非可能的分数,有希望的分数,有帮助的分数。
【新东方名师:考研英语一高分秘笈】由新东方英语名师王树振老师主讲,主要分为四个部分:命题规律、解题步骤、解题方法和高分技巧,内容详实,方法实用,能够帮你快速掌握考研英语(一)各种题型的超级解题方法和应试技巧,在最短的时间内,考研英语(一)轻松过线考高分!本专栏每天更新内容,因此,购买前一定要先点击关注英语名师王树振,然后再购买,不错过更新内容,购买后记得私信数字8给王老师,领取包括练习题在内的全套PDF资料,可打印长期保存。第一节 命题规律考研英语(一)的“英语知识运用”是以完型填空题的形式,考查广大考生以词汇为核心的语言综合运用能力,包括基础知识的掌握和运用、对整个文章逻辑关系的理解、在情境中辨析词义以及词组短语搭配的能力,要求考生既要具备丰富的词汇和扎实的语法基础,又要有较强的阅读能力和逻辑判断能力。#考研英语#这种题型的考查形式为,在一篇300-400词的文章中去掉20个单词或词组,并给出四个选项,要求考生从每小题给出的4个选项中选出1个最佳答案,填入文章空白处,使补全后的文章上下文通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。文章有20道小题,每小题0.5分,满分为10分。通过对近十年的考研英语(一)真题的分析可以看出,完形填空在体裁上大多以议论文为主,说明文为辅,而题材上涉及科技、经济、文化、教育、社会生活等诸多领域。第二节 解题步骤做考研英语(一)的完形填空时,考生要先快速浏览全文,抓住文章的中心思想,摸清文章的脉络和框架。然后再根据文章的语境特点从词语搭配、习惯用法、上下文的逻辑关系以及一般的生活常识等方面进行分析,从而选出既合语法又合语境的答案。因而,要想做好完形填空题,可依据以下步骤进行:一、跳过空格,通读全文由于考研英语(一)的完形填空是一整篇文章,在解题时考生应快速跳过空格,通读全文,由于首句不设空,所以要仔细研读首句。先跳过空格,通读全文,了解全篇的内容和要旨。要重视首句,善于以首句的时态、语气为立足点,理清文脉,推测全文主题及大意。文章首句一般不设空,且往往含有文章主题词或中心论点。因此首句就成为考生把握文章的重要切口,读懂首句就能快速进入正确的思维路径,判断文章体裁,推测文章大意。同时完形填空的正确选项都是紧扣文章主旨和中心主线的,所以正确理解篇首也有利于提高做题正确率。此外,考生还需要关注文章每个段落的首句,这样便于把握段落大意,紧跟故事脉络的走向。二、分析填空,瞻前顾后考生在做题过程中,需要先分段阅读,抓住主题句,弄清每一段的主要意思,以及段落与段落之间的关系,然后再逐句阅读,理清句子的意思和句子与句子之间的结构关系,在此基础上仔细分析填空,切忌一句一句死扣的答题方法,避免局部的、片面的、主观的错误。另外,在做完形填空时,在语篇大的框架图式下,考生需要瞻前顾后,通过对上下文线索的观察和分析,反复研判空格处在句中的语法作用,逐一比对选项,确保最后的选择使文章意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。三、先易后难,初定答案在理解文章大意基础上,对每道题所给的词语进行剖析,考虑语境,上下呼应,运用逻辑思维进行推理,依据文章的主干,运用所学的词汇和语法知识,根据上下文的关系,加上初读的印象和语感,初步确定答案。若遇到一时难以判定的选项,考生可以暂时搁置选项,先完成简单的题目,把难的留在后面,继续推进阅读,待完成其它有把握的选项,且收集到较多的线索后,再回过头来解决遗留的难题。四、复读全文,查漏补缺答题结束后,把所填答案代入原文进行检验,再复读一遍全文,查漏补缺,看上下文内容是否协调一致、顺理成章,语法结构是否正确无误,注意句与句之间、段与段之间是否连贯一致。从整体上检查每个答案是否能使文章内容、结构衔接完整,凡有疑问的地方须谨慎调整。在这一环节,考生要特别注意平时易错的地方,从局部和细节上检查每个答案的选择是否都有充分的依据,是否有逻辑上、知识上和常识性的错误,并对名词的单复数,动词的时态和语态,形容词和副词的比较等级,代词的用法等加以注意,以免出现因疏忽丢分的现象。第三节 高分技巧一、逻辑关系解题法基于文章连贯性的特点,在做完形填空时,考生要注意捕捉一些体现因果、转折、递进、让步等逻辑关系的逻辑连词,这些词通常是连词、连接性副词和词组。英语知识运用部分很注重考查考生的语篇意识,因此,
