我們來一起看看這個題型:選詞填空。這種題型的特點是給你一篇大約300詞左右的文章,里面挖了10個空,給出15個備選單詞,從中挑出10個符合原文的單詞。這種題的做題方法在新東方暑期的基礎(chǔ)強化沖刺班中是重點講解的部分,以這篇文章為例:
第一步:看看填空處左邊是否有特殊符號,比如:a, an, the, 介詞,形容詞等等,如果有就不能選動詞。如果填空處左邊是情態(tài)動詞的話就必須選動詞原形。換句話說,需要掌握最基本的語法知識來大致確認該空的詞性。
第二步:結(jié)合上下文,選出最終單詞。
看一下40題:40前面是an,后面是relationship所以能很快確定下來應(yīng)當選個形容詞,選哪個形容詞需要看看上下文,這句話說的是給讀者足夠的時間去和作者建立一種____關(guān)系,兩者____到一種長期、熱情的對話當中,就像人們談戀愛一樣。根據(jù)前后意思,如果像戀愛的話就得是親密關(guān)系,所以40題選I; 那么兩者要怎么到一種對話當中呢?根據(jù)所給單詞,只有一個比較符合,就是engaged, 并且41題后面還有一個介詞in, 更加確信應(yīng)當是engaged in"參與"。
有的時候固定搭配也能幫助解題,我還想在說說第44題,observing young people's ______ to digital devices. 年輕人____數(shù)字設(shè)備。
先看一個例句:some girl's attachment to her boyfriends, 一些女孩兒依戀于他們的男朋友。
所以這道題根據(jù)加粗的部分的提示,應(yīng)當選attachment.
To understand why we should be concerned about how young people read, it helps to know something about the way the ability to read evolved. Unlike the ability to understand and produce spoken language, the ability to read must be painstakingly 36 by each individual. The "reading circuits" we construct in the brain can be 37 or they can be robust, depending on how often and how 38 we use them.
The deep reader enters a state of hypnotic trance(心醉神迷的狀態(tài)). When readers are enjoying the experience the most, the pace of their reading 39 slows. The combination of fast, fluent decoding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with reflection and analysis. It gives them time to establish an 40 relationship with the author, the two of them 41 in a long and warm conversation like people falling in love.
This is not reading as many young people know it. Their reading is instrumental the difference between what literary critic Frank Kermode calls "carnal (肉體的) reading" and "spiritual reading." If we allow our offspring to believe carnal reading is all there is - if we don't open the door to spiritual reading, through an early 42 on discipline and practice - we will have 43 them of an enjoyable experience they would not otherwise encounter. Observing young people's 44 to digital devices, some progressive educators talk about "meeting kids where they are, molding instruction around their onscreen habits. This is mistaken." We need, 45, to show them someplace they've never been, a place only deep reading can take them.
