大學(xué)英語四六級考試短文簡答題命題傾向及應(yīng)試技巧二

字號:

5)描寫敘述型題目:需要變換詞法或句型。此類題句子內(nèi)容和表達(dá)詞在原文中能找到,考生關(guān)鍵是進(jìn)行時態(tài)的變換、句型的轉(zhuǎn)換。在替換過程中切勿因粗心犯了不該犯的錯誤,如時態(tài)、單復(fù)數(shù)和動名詞等。)
    例(1) What does the author think Joe Jempler should be blamed for? (1997年1月六級簡答題72)
    (分析:此題答案在文可找到大部分詞句,但需要作些變換。原句有:Joe Templer should have known better: ……。It won't hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, ……。考生應(yīng)知道:"should +have+V-ed"用法,其次"leave the key in the truck"是關(guān)鍵詞。通過這些知識點(diǎn)可知答案為:Having left his key in the truck. 注意答案時態(tài)變化。)
    例(2) What are the two ways, thieves sell the stolen cars?
    (分析:此題答案文中有兩句已告知。Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are struggled out of the country every year. 考生需要把這兩句話意思高度概括出,在詞法句式上作些變化。答案為:Selling by parts and smuggling into other countries.)
    例(3) The last sentence of the passage indicates that one's exposure to the media is ______ (1998年6月六級簡答題S5)
    (分析:此題答案文中最后一句話已表明。These various factors have so much influence on your media exposure that so little of that exposure is planned. 考生只需作些詞法變換即可,答案為:hardly planned.)
    例(4)What was the explanation of animal-behavior experts for the "clever" behavior of pets? (1997年6月六級簡答題S5)
    (分析:此題答案短文最后一句即點(diǎn)明:The behavior was a mechanical result of the training. 但考生需要聯(lián)系本段中心意思,得知此結(jié)論符合動物專家觀點(diǎn),故答案為:A mechanical result of training)
    3、推理題
    這類題型主要包括兩種:描述事實(shí)基礎(chǔ)上推理和邏輯上的推理。
    (1)在描述事實(shí)事礎(chǔ)上的推理題。考生只要在描述細(xì)節(jié)句子范圍內(nèi)進(jìn)行推理,不必顧及整體文章大旨,以防干擾。
    例(1) What did Newton seem puzzled about? (1997年6月六級簡答題S1)
    (分析:此題文中第一段只描寫了一個事實(shí):Whenever I tossed out a Frishbee(飛碟) for him to chase, he'd take off in hot pursuit but then seem to lose track of it. Moving back and forth only a yard of two from the toy, Newton would look all around, even up into the tress. He seemed genuinely puzzled. 通過對這幾句描述的理解,考生應(yīng)明白Newton似乎不知上哪兒去找飛碟,故答案為:Not knowing the Frishee's track.)
    例(2)What made it possible for the TIM reporters to come up with so many interesting stories about pets?
    (分析:此題考生需要理解短文第二段第一、二句話:Just about every pet owner has a story like this and is eager to share it with anyone who will listen. On very short notice, TIME reporters came up with ……. 從這里可推知,記者們正是聽到了寵物主人的宣揚(yáng)才得知這些故事的。因此答案為:That the owners want others to share their stories.)
    例(3) According to many parents, without TV, their children would like them to _____ .
    (分析: 此題答案在短文首句中即可推斷出. Many parents who welcome the family arestill worried that without TV they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. 關(guān)鍵詞是without TV, be on call as entertainers,由此可知,孩子們是希望父母陪他們玩, 故答案為:play with their children.)
    例(4)What comment did the author make about the highly successful people travelling with him?(1998年1月六級簡答題S1)
    (分析:此題通過作者對細(xì)節(jié)的強(qiáng)調(diào)而知道作者的態(tài)度和觀點(diǎn).
    Atfer only two days in the river, people accustomed to being spoiled and indulged had become a team, working together to cop with the unpredictable and turns of the river. 句中"accustomed to being spoiled and indulged"是關(guān)鍵詞,它表有作者的評價。故答案為:They were used to being spoiled and idulged.)
    (2)通過前后句以及上、下文內(nèi)在邏輯進(jìn)行推理。此類題一般針對主題思想、作者意圖而設(shè)計(jì)的。考生要注意首句、段尾句和表示轉(zhuǎn)折或因果關(guān)系的一些詞,如:but, however, yet, in short, as, although, as a result, because, since, therefore, thus, so等。
    例(1) Why does the author say Newton had unique sense of humour?
    (分析:短文第一段先描寫了Newton似乎不知道該上哪兒找飛碟,但當(dāng)作者準(zhǔn)備去幫它時,"he would run invariably straight over the Frisbee, grab it and start running like mad, looking over his should with what looked suspiciously like a grin."從這前,后句可以看出Newton是在挑逗、欺騙作者。故答案為:Because Newton intended to deceive him.)
    例(2)?。議at happeed to the New York knicks in the 1980s? (1998年1月六級簡答題S3)
    (分析:此題答案需要從短文中關(guān)鍵一句才能推出。I played basketball alongside famous players, and the team I now coach, the New Yourk Knicks, has recovered from years of the adversity to become a major contender in the 1990s. 句中: recovered from years of adversity "是關(guān)鍵詞,它暗示出該隊(duì)曾陷入困境,故答案為:It was in adversity.這需要從句子的內(nèi)在邏輯中才能推出。)
    例(3) What spirit was encouraged in the reoped GM plant? (1998年1月六級簡答題S5)
    (分析:此題需要理解全文的中心思想才能推導(dǎo)出。因?yàn)槿恼率侵v團(tuán)隊(duì)精神的重要性。最后一段通過事實(shí)圍繞此主題展開的,因此可知答案為:teamwork spirit。)
    例(4)Exposure to all media is important and people sometimes tend to use more media if ____ (1998年6月六級簡答題S1)
    (分析:此題從原文中直接找不到答案,它需要理解第一段中心大意及關(guān)鍵句子,且考生只能用自己語言來表達(dá)。首段主要講大眾媒體的重要性,然后用一句話點(diǎn)出:Our exposure to all media is important, however, because all of them contribute materials for the construction of that world in our heads. 考生只要理解了because 后面句子意思,就能準(zhǔn)確地補(bǔ)完題干條件句:if they want to know more about the world 。)
    例(5) Many parents think that, instead of watching a lot of TV, their children should ______. (1999年1月六級簡答題題S2)
    (分析:此題答案在第一段關(guān)鍵一句理解基礎(chǔ)上再作逆向思維即可推導(dǎo)出。They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less resourceful, somehow. 此句意即父母們記得他們小時候總能想到許多事情去做的。但他們現(xiàn)在的孩子似乎不同,總覺得沒什么事做。這就表明,許多父母認(rèn)為,如果不去看電視,他們的孩子也應(yīng)該想出許多事做,故答案為:think up things to do.)
    三、簡答題得高分基本原則
    以上歸納了簡答命題傾向及解題技巧,考生掌握了這些知識后,還要注意以下幾個方面才能得到高分。
    1、答案盡量用短語或詞組,句子要簡潔,一般都規(guī)定了不能超過10個單詞,多了要扣分。
    2、盡量用短文中出現(xiàn)的詞組或短語,句子的用詞也應(yīng)以短文中出現(xiàn)的關(guān)鍵詞為先。若非用自己的語言組織、表達(dá)不可,則注意句子結(jié)構(gòu)的精煉、完整和時態(tài)的正確。
    3、注意大小寫正確及書寫的工整。
