专题三:阅读理解之五选四
一、题型综述
该题型要求考生根据短文内容,从文后所给的句子中选出适当的句子填入短文空白处,其考查内容有细节与细节的关系、主题与细节的关系以及大主题与小主题的关系等。
二、解题策略
1.把握文章整体,了解文章大意
首先通读全文,掌握文章大意。解此类题的关键是把握文章的整体意义,特别要分析文章前后内容之间的联系,以保持文章内容的连贯性、结构的紧凑性以及逻辑的严密性,并作为还原句子的依据。21·cn·jy·com
2.分析选项,瞻前顾后
认真分析选项及文章,尤其是文章空格处前后两句话中的代词究竟指代的是什么。可以参照时间的先后顺序,前后因果关系等;也可以根据上句的信息推断下句的信息,通过下句的信息推断上句的信息。这样前后对照、承上启下、上贯下通,抓住文章的脉络,更容易恢复原文的语义。2-1-c-n-j-y
3.根据空格位置,判断选项特征
(1)空格位于段首时:此时,空格处通常为该段的主题句,找到该段的关键词,选项中能与之接近的即为答案。
(2)空格位于段尾时:空格处有时为该段的主题句(同上);有时为总结句,即首尾呼应之句,此时应着重看首句,对照选项,找出重合之解;有时为承上启下的过渡句,此时应注意下段文章,找出下段文章的关键词,对照选项,与本段重合的即为答案。
(3)空格位于段中时:空格若在主题句后,则为主题句之扩展句,找出与关键词有关的选项;空格若在段中间,则依据前后句判断。
(4)空格为独立段时:此时应注意看空格上、下两段的文意,判断是顺承还是转承,若前后所讲的为同一个意思,则空格段为论据;若前后所讲的为几个不同的意思,则空格段或为过渡段,或为新话题段,注意找出含有下段关键词的选项。
注意:当选项中出现了序数词或选择性代词时,如secondly,the third,on the other hand,another等,一定要注意看文章中是否已“埋伏”了这些词的对应词。一般来说,出现这些词时,可首先考虑该选项。
4.重读还原后的原文,验证答案与原文是否连贯
选项选好后,应将所选的选项代入文中去验证,检查全篇文章是否贯通流畅,内容是否清晰,前后意思是否矛盾,相近的选项是否颠倒顺序,是否符合上下文的逻辑关系,等等。

24.A 空格位于段中,根据后句“They had to kill their work animals for food(他们杀了他们用于工作的动物吃)”可知他们的食物都吃完了,故答案为A。
25.C 空格位于段尾,是对上一句的承接,意思是在这个妇女第一次叫了“death valley”之后,这个名字就再也没有变过,故答案为C。
