補全短文這個題型是職稱英語考試中比較難的一題,該題出現(xiàn)在試卷的第五部分;一篇短文中有5個空格,分別是五句被刪掉的句子,從下面6個選項中找出5個分別填在空格中使文章完整。此題不易作的原因有二:
1)它不僅要求較高的閱讀能力,還要具備良好的邏輯推理能力;
2) 6選5的題其中必然有一個選項是干擾選項,如果考生不幸將其作為答案填入則意味著至少要丟4分(每空2分)。
因此,我們答題時必須遵循先易后難的步驟進行。假設有2個空實在找不出答案,在剩余的2個選項中選擇一個同時填入兩個空格,能確保其一正確。下面,我們一起來學習一下補全短文解題思路:
1.讀文章標題,了解文章主題(提示: 如果被選項偏離文章主題,則該被選項成為答案的可能性較?。?
2.仔細讀被選項,體會被選項之間在語意, 在用詞, 在結構上的相互關系(答案往往出自有關系的被選項中)
3.找出被選項中的典型篇章詞匯(人稱代詞, 指示代詞, 定冠詞結構)——判斷答案選項的關鍵;
4.如果被選項中出現(xiàn)了“we(us, our, ours)”或“you(your, yours)”這樣的人稱代詞, 這樣的詞匯在上下文的使用中應該是一致的。
下面,我們重點看一下指代法在補全短文中的應用,??即~有以下幾個:
1) They:指代復數(shù)的人物、動物或事物等(their指代他們的);
2) He/she:指代單數(shù)的男性或女性人物、動物等(his/her指代他的或她的);
3) It:指代單數(shù)的動物、事物或事件等(its指代它的);
4) other, the other, others, the others
[例1] 請找出下列句子中代詞指代的對象。
1. iPad applications like Markdown Mail allow the adoption of specific and particular options. They enable the owners to personalize their email accounts.
2. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words.
3. Elle and Serge were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was their own driveway.
As the glacier descended, however, it expended enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.
指代法在補全短文中的實例分析:
[例2]
Undergraduates at large US universities —— especially freshmen and sophomores —— often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content. ______(11) Most have good intentions, but only a few are as effective as flesh-and-blood professors.
A. Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity
B. In my students' minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.
C. In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader
D. I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.
E. On the other hand, being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad
F. Most were polite, or at least, indifferent.
C
第一步:回歸原文,根據(jù)句子前后判斷答案。橫線前面一句出現(xiàn)了In some cases(在某些情況下),句子的意思是:在某些時候,由TA設置課程內(nèi)容。說明接下來要說的就是在其他的情況下了。
第二步:接下來看選項,選項當中只有C選項中出現(xiàn)了表示其它情況的“in others”,因此,本題的正確答案為C.
[總結]
1.當選項中出現(xiàn)“other 名詞”形式時,橫線前面出現(xiàn)和名詞對應的內(nèi)容;
2.當選項出現(xiàn)“others”,說明others指代的是前文出現(xiàn)的一些或一部分人或物;
3.當選項中some后面沒有跟名詞時,說明some指代的是前文出現(xiàn)的一些或一部分人或物。
4. 當選項出現(xiàn)“some 名詞”形式時,橫線前面出現(xiàn)和名詞對應的內(nèi)容。
