三大技法介绍和运用
✅技法一:重视首尾扣主题
首句定基调,尾句升华主旨;抓住全文中心,直接排除偏离主题的选项。打死不选与主题无关的选项。本篇首句:Evelyn Donohue is a 65‑year‑old grandma. 交代人物,整篇文章主题:65岁奶奶健身逆袭、励志成长。尾段:曾经被嘲讽年纪大不能健身,最后成为社交媒体用户的榜样,首尾呼应,励志主题贯穿全文。41. C. exercise【重视首尾扣主题】全文主题围绕健身锻炼,后文多处出现 work out 、 exercise ,锁定exercise锻炼,其余write、travel、recover脱离健身主题。译:七年前,她才开始锻炼。45. D. healthy【重视首尾扣主题】决心扭转人生,开启锻炼健身之路,必然选择健康的生活方式。risky冒险的、traditional传统的、comfortable舒适的,都不符合健身励志主线。51. A. Help【重视首尾扣主题】后文 Lift others up 鼓舞他人,契合文章“传递正能量”的主旨。帮助他人,和鼓舞他人构成语义并列。Consult咨询、Follow追随、Forgive原谅偏离主旨。53. A. goal【重视首尾扣主题】全文健身观念:锻炼不为外表好看,核心目标是身心舒畅。case情况、duty责任、cost代价,和文章表达的健身理念不符。54. D. doubters【重视首尾扣主题】尾段线索 used to be laughed at 遭到别人嘲笑,与主题“逆袭证明别人是错的”呼应,证明这些怀疑者错了。55. C. inspiration【重视首尾扣主题】全文结尾升华主题,奶奶逆袭,成为很多网友心中励志榜样。 inspiration 鼓舞人心的人。
✅技法二:上下求索找复现
不要只盯空格所在句子,向上、向下文搜寻原词复现、同义复现、概念复现,答案藏在上下文。41. C. exercise【上下求索找复现】下文 work out 、 workout content 、 to exercise 多次重复“锻炼”这一概念,复现提示答案。47. B. fitness【上下求索找复现】上文 work out 、 weightlifting 健身举重,下文 workout content ,多处出现健身相关表达, fitness lover 健身爱好者,属于概念同义复现。44. A. change【上下求索找复现】后文短语turn her life around扭转人生,同义提示:她需要做出改变 make a change 。
✅技法三:融入语境破生义
语法上多个选项都通顺时,结合故事情景、固定习语,破解熟词生义、固定搭配陷阱。42. D. wake‑up【融入语境破生义】 wake‑up call 固定习语,字面“叫醒电话”,语境中生义:警钟、当头棒喝。健康危机给她敲响警钟。43. B. ultimately【融入语境破生义】长期受饮食失调、健康问题折磨,最终走向手术。ultimately表示事情发展的最终结果,贴合故事时间逻辑。46. C. passion【融入语境破生义】固定搭配 a passion for sth ,passion熟义“激情”,语境中:酷爱、深深爱上,指她爱上举重。48. A. grow【融入语境破生义】grow熟义“生长”;熟词生义:逐步练就。 grow muscles 练出一身肌肉。49. C. reason【融入语境破生义】固定句型 there is no reason why… 没有理由……,语境:没有理由其他人不能拥有这么好的状态。50. D. stepping‑stone【融入语境破生义】 stepping‑stone 本义垫脚石;语境引申义:通往成功的阶梯。把失败看作成功的垫脚石,贴合全文励志语境。52. B. shared【融入语境破生义】谚语 Success is sweeter when shared 。结合语境:奶奶在社交网络分享健身经历,成功因分享而更加美好。55. C. inspiration【融入语境破生义】这句话的主语是she,这里应该选一个表示人的单词。根据主题---老人健身鼓舞他人,可知应该填inspiration,这个词是属于抽象名词具体化:励志---励志人物,榜样。考熟词生义。
