第一講:2種問(wèn)題形式考查對(duì)原文信息的處理能力
    1 填空題
    解題技巧:
    做填空題時(shí),在定位的出處后,只需將原文信息與題干信息進(jìn)行對(duì)照,就可以確定題干中缺少的是什么信息,得出答案。當(dāng)然所填詞與題干也可能不在原文的一句話中,那就需要綜合上下文信息判斷后得出答案。
    練習(xí):
    I’ve heard from and talked to many people who described how Mother Nature simplified their lives for them. They’d lost their home and many or all of their possessions through fires, floods, earthquakes, or some other disaster. Losing everything you own under such circumstances can be distressing, but the people I’ve heard from all saw their loss, ultimately, as a blessing.
    “The fire saved us the agony of deciding what to keep and what to get rid of, ” one woman wrote. And once all those things were no longer there, she and her husband saw how they had weighed them down and complicated their lives… .
    Q Now that all their possessions were lost in the fire, the woman and her husband felt that their lives had been ______.
    答案及分析:simplified;從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上看,本空應(yīng)填入一動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞。依據(jù)信息詞the woman and her husband可將目標(biāo)鎖定在第二段末句。該句中的they had weighed them down and complicated their lives是說(shuō)在火災(zāi)中燒毀的東西曾經(jīng)讓女士和他丈夫的生活煩瑣復(fù)雜,由此推測(cè),這些東西都失去時(shí)(all of their possessions through fires),他們的生活應(yīng)該是簡(jiǎn)化了。文章開(kāi)頭的how Mother Nature simplified their lives for them對(duì)本空所填詞有很大啟示。
