(4)任務項句子的語域或文體可能和正文的不同,應該訓練辨認不同文體的同一信息的能力,例 如:將廣告改寫成客觀真實平鋪直敘的散文。

1.C 2.E 3.A 4.B 5.D 6.D 7.C 8.B
具體解題分析在后面的答題技巧中還將詳細闡釋。
舉這個例子的目的,是為了使我們對閱讀第一部分的試題形式有一個直觀的了解。題目中的論 句是用不同于文聿的措辭來表達的。我們應該首先讀論句,以便有的放矢地瀏覽文章的過程中找到 可以與之匹配的文章。這一部分考點是:能否理解論句的語言,并將它與文章內容聯系起來。
解答搭配題的順序是什么?
(1)迅速瀏覽文章。
(2)非常仔細地閱讀所有的問題。
(3)重新讀問題,利用關鍵詞找出所需內容。
(4)統籌安排,完成題目。
如何實現答題效率最大化?
要有整體意識,盡可能地注意y標答案之外的相關內容.抓住關鍵詞。要努力培養一腦多用的習慣,如 果町能,就應該在利用關鍵詞找到問題答案的同時,帶著多個問題瀏覽文章.以實現答題效率最大化。
還是以第24個問題的文章的例題為例:
(1)首先快速地看八個論句,在理解整體意思的基礎上抓關鍵詞。
如,在本題的論句1,3和7中.我們都看到了關鍵詞director:
第七個論句:This company is losing a director but will replace him.
我們可以針對發生的特殊事件來關注關鍵詞.一般句中的動詞或詞組都暗示了一些重要信息。 在第一個論句中,我們可以抓住director和replace這兩個詞。
第一個論句:A director of this company is leaving to pursue non-commercial activities.
在這一句中,我們同樣很快注意到director這個關鍵詞,同時從特殊事件的角度留意到non-com-mercialo
第三個論句:A director of this company is leaving to devote himself to his own business.
director 一詞又一次出現,還有own business值得注意。
(2)接下來,快速瀏覽五篇文章,尋找匹配關鍵詞,與文章相對應。
這時我們會看到,文章A和文章C都含有關鍵詞director,在文章C中,看到結尾處引號內的 "long standing academic interests" 時,我們應該很快意識到這是第一個論句里 non-commercial activities 的對應表達,而緊接著的下句中,be taken over則是第七個論句子replace的對應表達。這樣,答案就顯 而易見,第一和第七論句的答案都對應C.選項。
同樣,在瀏覽文章A的過程中,我們可以在結尾找到第三個論句關鍵own business的對應表達方 式be free to pursue,所以答案為A。
按什么順序解答搭配題?
在做題過程中,常常會遇到不能確定,模棱兩可或確實找不出所需內容的情況?紙錾,一定 不要鉆牛角尖,拘泥于題目的先后順序,及時向后轉移注意力才是明智之舉。先回答下一個問題一 很可能你就會在后面與你想要的答案不期而遇。
