    一、詞匯題的答題技巧
    1.選用表示增加遞進關(guān)系的詞為線索:
    這些詞常見的有: besides, moreover(在什么基礎(chǔ)上還,更有甚者,而且……), furthermore(與moreover同義), but, in addition,again(再,又), and, also, too。
    例: _____ the last one, I answered all the questions.
     A. Except B. Except for C. Besides D. In addition to
    答案: B
    解析: Except for: 指對結(jié)論的修正.如:本句的意思“我回答了所有的問題,除了最后一個”。因此,“except for the last one”是對前一句的修正。Except:除了……外. In addition to 除了……(包括).
    2.利用表示比較或?qū)Ρ汝P(guān)系的詞為線索:
    這些詞常見的有: but, however, although, in contrast(比較而言,相比較之下,常用于兩件對立的事實,指出其間的差異處), instead of.
    例: I work hard like a dog, _____ I have little salary every month.
    A. so B. but C. and D. furthermore
    答案: B
    解析: 本句意思是:我工作特別刻苦,但是我的薪水卻很少!應該選擇but。其他的幾個詞是指遞進或是并列的關(guān)系.
    3.利用表示因果生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的詞為線索:
    這些詞常見的有:because(因為), as(由于,因為), since(既然), for(由于), as a result(結(jié)果,因此), thus(如此,這樣;因而,從而), therefore(由此,因此).
    例: He is a very _____ person because he has done a lot of good things for the local people.
    A. respectable. B. respectful. C. respective. D. respecting
    答案: A
    解析: 這句話的意思是:他是一個很受尊敬的人,因為他為當?shù)厝藗冏隽嗽S多好事。respectable可敬的,高尚的;respectful充滿敬意的,有禮貌的;respective 各自的,各個的;respecting是respect的分詞形式。
    二、語法結(jié)構(gòu)部分應試技巧
    1、注意在句子中尋找線索:
    例1: When I went to visit Mrs.Smith last week, I was told she _____ two days before.
     A. has left B. was leaving
     C. would leave D. had left
    答案: D
    解析: 這句話的意思是: 我上一周去拜訪史密斯小姐的時候,被告訴她兩天前離開了。注意前句中的時間線索,知道這個消息時是上一周,而史密斯小姐是在此之前離開的,也就是“離開”這動作發(fā)生在過去的過去,故用過去完成時。
    例2: Neither of the young men who had applied for a position in the company ___.
    A.has been accepted. B. have been accepted.
    C.was accepted. D. were accepted.
    答案: C
    解析: 這句話的意思是: 在那家公司曾求職的兩個年輕人都沒有被錄用.
    2. 如果題目是由兩句話組成,其中必有一句是為答題提供線索的:
    例Don’t tell her the answer. Let her do the exercise _____ .
     A. she B. her C. herself D. itself
    答案: C
    解析: 這句話的意思是: 不要告訴她答案,讓她自己做練習.
    3.注意及物和不及物的區(qū)別,注意主、被動關(guān)系。
    例: “The ceremony has already started.”“l(fā)ook! The flag is _____ now.”
     A. being raised B. risen
     C. being rose D. raising
    答案: A
    解析: 這句話的意思是: “儀式已經(jīng)開始了.” “看, 現(xiàn)在旗正在升起.”
     look,信號詞,進行時態(tài).旗正在被升起來,應當排除B,D. 注意rise和raise區(qū)別: 前者是不及物動詞,不能用被動時態(tài).而后者是及物動詞,可以用被動語態(tài).故A正確.
    4.注意區(qū)分一個句子中的主要動詞與次要動詞:
    例1: Three people, _____ ,were injured in the accident.
     A. including a child B. include a child
     C. included a child D. includes a child
    答案: A
    解析:這句話的意思是: 三個人在那次事故中受傷了,其中包括一個孩子.注意:句子謂語動詞性.這句的謂語動詞是injured, 這里include是一個分詞結(jié)構(gòu),表示一種從屬狀語. Included,本句的主語是人,是一種主動關(guān)系,所以不能用過去分詞形式.
    例2: _____ I saw was two men crossing the street.
     A. What B. Whom
     C. Who D. That
    答案: A
    解析: 這句話的意思是:我看到的是兩個男人穿過街道。這句話的主要動詞是was,而不是saw那么我們選A,為什么不選擇B呢?如果選擇B,那么后面一定要說清楚是張三還是李四。
    5. 注意某些信號詞的辨認:
    這些信號詞常見的有: for, otherwise, or.
    例1: I believe he _____ an accident, otherwise he would have arrived on time.
     A. would have had B. could have had
     C. should have had D. must have had
    答案: D
    解析: 我相信他一定是出了交通事故了,否則的話他該到了。Otherwise 信號詞。
