(三) 篇章结构题的解题技巧:根据问题所在的不同位置确定不同的解题技巧
1. 问题在段首
(1) 通常是段落主题句。认真阅读下文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。
(2) 与下文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读下文第一、二句,锁定线索信号词,然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与下文第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这两句间会有某种衔接手段。
(3) 段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示,即阅读上文结尾部分,通常将正确答案与上文结尾有机地衔接,并结合下文内容,看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
2. 问题在段尾
(1) 通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore、as a result、thus、hence、in short、to sum up、to conclude、in a word等,选项中也可发现上文的同义词句。
(2) 与上文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与上文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
(3) 与上文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下,通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节,因此根据段落一致性原则,在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词,通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系的关联词或与上文类似的句式结构,或出现同义词等其他线索。前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。
(4) 所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与上文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。
(5) 如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,辨析此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词,如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
3. 问题是一整个自然段
(1) 这个段落应是承上启下,而且自成一体,即有一个段落的中心,因此可重点阅读选项中较长的选项,以此类推直至找到正确答案。
(2) 着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一两句并查找相关的线索,而且重要线索通常会在后一段开头,因此后一段开头往往比前一段结尾更为重要。
(3) 分析段落之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性,注意段落间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文,如果前后内容连贯,符合逻辑,就能得出正确答案。
五、 话题写作
(一) 佳句积累
1. The world is no longer what it used to be.(表语从句)

8. In my opinion, I just did what I should do and it is our duty to help those who are in trouble. Only in this way can we live in a harmonious society. (宾语从句;形式主语;定语从句;倒装句)
9. Tired as we were, we felt it was worthwhile, for it not only taught us to discover the kindness in our life, but also inspired us to become the very person delivering love to everyone around us. (倒装句;状语从句;现在分词做后置定语)

One possible version:
Good_morning,_everyone!
Today the Volunteer Club will be set up in our school. The club aims to appeal to you all to spare your time for those in need and make the world a better place. Now I would like to share my previous experience with you.
As a volunteer, taking part in voluntary activities is a part of my life. I always help a left behind child called Wang Wei with his lessons at weekends because both his parents are working in another city and his grandparents are too old to assist him. Seeing Wang Wei make rapid progress, I am so proud that I can make a big difference to someone.
I hope all of you can lend a helping hand to someone who needs help.
That's_all._Thank_you_for_listening!
