哪一條是最佳路線?This passage will take us to the other ,我們就可以到達(dá)另一座大樓。Complaints must be made through the proper 。3.[A] Unfortable令人不舒適的 [B] Bad令人不快的,壞的[C] Unfavourable不利的,有害的 [D] Terrible可怕的,造成極大傷害的 本題考核的知識(shí)點(diǎn)是:上下文語義+形容詞辨析 [快速解題]空格處填入的形容詞做定語修飾months,意為“…的幾個(gè)月”。months后面的of…介詞結(jié)構(gòu)也做定語后置修飾months,由of后面的一系列名詞“starvation、disease、death”可知,這幾個(gè)月的情況是極其嚴(yán)重的,因此,在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中應(yīng)選擇表示惡劣程度最深的terrible。[空格設(shè)置]terrible的詞義和用法比較簡(jiǎn)單,本題需要考生理解上下文的具體內(nèi)容做出選擇。[干擾項(xiàng)設(shè)置]其他項(xiàng)利用表示“不利的”的形容詞設(shè)置干擾,考生需結(jié)合詞語表達(dá)含義的程度與具體語境排除干擾。4.[A] passed通過,經(jīng)過;消磨,度過[B] sustained維持(生命、生存)[C] survived生存;幸存,挺過,艱難度過 [D] spent花(時(shí)間),度過 本題考核的知識(shí)點(diǎn)是:上下文語義+動(dòng)詞辨析[快速解題]空格所在部分意為“朝圣者中只有最為強(qiáng)壯的人…那個(gè)冬天”。pass常用于指無聊或等人時(shí)打發(fā)、消磨時(shí)間;spend強(qiáng)調(diào)以某種方式花時(shí)間,常接on sth或in doing sth來表示方式。sustain雖然含有“生存”的意思,但其后常接life或人作賓語,不符合文中用法。符合上下文意的只有survive,指“艱難挺過那個(gè)冬天”,與上一題中的terrible相呼應(yīng)。[空格設(shè)置]本題借survive考查了考生對(duì)上下文的理解。例句:I can?t survive on $40 a ,我無法維持生活。[干擾項(xiàng)設(shè)置]其他項(xiàng)是利用表示“度過”的動(dòng)詞對(duì)survive構(gòu)成近義干擾,考生要在理解詞義的基礎(chǔ)上對(duì)單詞的用法區(qū)別掌握。例句:We sang songs to pass the 。Few planets can sustain 。How long did you spend on your homework? 你做家庭作業(yè)用了多長時(shí)間? 5.[A] situations情況,狀況[B] environments環(huán)境 [C] conditions環(huán)境,條件[D] circumstances條件,狀況 本題考核的知識(shí)點(diǎn)是:上下文語義+名詞辨析[快速解題]空格所在部分living 5 意為“生活…”,四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都含有“環(huán)境,狀況”的意思,但是側(cè)重點(diǎn)各有不同。situation強(qiáng)調(diào)特定時(shí)期和特定地點(diǎn)形勢(shì)、局面,environments特指影響個(gè)體或事物行為或發(fā)展的環(huán)境,conditions指居住、工作或做事情的環(huán)境或條件,circumstances尤其指經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況。由living以及下文的vegetables、berries等詞可知,這里指的是人們的生活條件得到改善,符合文意的為[C]conditions.[篇章分析]○11句至○16句是第一段的第三個(gè)層次,指出了朝圣者在新的定居點(diǎn)生活條件得到改善的原因及表現(xiàn)。[空格設(shè)置]conditions本身詞義比較簡(jiǎn)單,但要求考生根據(jù)上下文語境排除干擾,作出正確判斷。例句:changing economic conditions不斷變化的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況。[干擾項(xiàng)設(shè)置]其他項(xiàng)利用表示“環(huán)境、狀況”的名詞對(duì)conditions形成近義干擾。這幾個(gè)詞雖然含義相近,但用法上各有不同,例句如:We have all been in similar embarrassing 。They have created an environment in which productivity should 。Grants are awarded according to your financial 。6.[A]strengthened加強(qiáng),鞏固[B]regained 重新獲得,恢復(fù) [C]recovered恢復(fù)健康,康復(fù)[D]improved 改進(jìn),改善 本題考核的知識(shí)點(diǎn)是:動(dòng)詞辨析[快速解題]空格所在部分的主語是the colonists? health,此題的關(guān)鍵是判斷哪個(gè)動(dòng)詞能與health搭配,并且能與上下文銜接。strengthened指“增強(qiáng)能力或地位等”,不能與health搭配,首先排除。regained意為“恢復(fù)”時(shí)常做及物動(dòng)詞,不符合文中用法,但是可以說…regained health。recovered本身即意為“恢復(fù)健康”,不需要health作主語。符合上下文語義的只有improve,在文中意為“健康得到改善”。[篇章分析]○16句的主干部分是The colonists? health improved,介詞with的用法比較特殊,表原因,介賓短語with…解釋了health improved的原因。[空格設(shè)置
