    The Role of Pressure Groups in Britain
    General Elections in Britain are usually held only once every five years. Governments can seem to be remote from the people they represent. The process of protesting about. government actions is very slow, even though everyone is permitted direct contact to their member of Parliament.(46)
    Pressure groups will seek to influence those who have political power, such as members of Parliament.(47) If members of a pressure group feel that there is public support from outside their group for their demands, they will tell members of Parliament about this.
    Pressure groups will thus seek to get support from the public. A powerful way of doing this is by making use of the mass media. (48) Meanwhile, the group will have to be sure of its facts, and fact-finding is thus an important part of its work. Up-to-date information can be made known to members of Parliament and to the general public.
    Pressure groups will not only seek to make their causes known to government, but also try to inform and influence the public.(49)
    Pressure groups may support political parties, but will lay stress only on some of their policies. For instance, the Monday Club will support the more right-wing policies of the Conservative Party. (50)
    A A good example of this sort of activity is provided by the educational work of "Shelter", which fights for better housing for poor people.
    B They will want to tell them what policy their interest demands.
    C For all these reasons there is something of a vacuum between government and the governed, which pressure groups help to fill.
    D There can also be public meetings, demonstrations, etc.
    E Governments always stay close to the people.
    F However, a pressure group is not a political party, because it does not seek complete or continuous political power.

     解析
    在這里不妨回憶一下。完成句子通行的特點(diǎn)和解題方法。
    首先這類題是有些難度的,因?yàn)榻o的句子比較短,很難定位關(guān)鍵詞,另一方面需要完成的句子多數(shù)都是起著銜接作用的句子,如果上下文沒有理解,就不好選出正確答案,所以這類題我們建議盡力而為。解決這類題需要掌握的技巧在于1、找到定位關(guān)鍵詞。這里的定位關(guān)鍵詞主要是1)人名、地名、復(fù)雜的概念性名詞、斜體字、大寫字;2)數(shù)字,包括時(shí)間、數(shù)量、單位等;3)過渡詞,比如轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的however, but;時(shí)間先后順序的過渡詞如then, second;表示總結(jié)的to sum up, to draw a conclusion;表示對比關(guān)系的等等。2、一定要根據(jù)上下文判斷文章空出的內(nèi)容與上下文的關(guān)系,如果能正確找出這種關(guān)系,100%可以作對答案;3、忽略文章中的生難詞和生難句,集中精力了解文章大意,翻譯文章起不到太大的作用。
    以本期職稱英語每日一練為例。首先瀏覽一下文章標(biāo)題和文章各大段落,大概明確文章主要講的是壓力集團(tuán)的作用。
    首先看第一空所在的第一段講了大選、政府與人民之間的距離,議會(huì)行動(dòng)的遲緩等,這一系列問題,其實(shí)這一系列問題正好引出了壓力集團(tuán)的作用,所以c 恰好點(diǎn)出壓力集團(tuán)的出現(xiàn)。
    第二空講的是壓力集團(tuán)致力于影響擁有政治權(quán)利的,怎樣行使這個(gè)權(quán)力呢,后句點(diǎn)出了具體的是反映人民的需要,所以選B, They 壓力集團(tuán);them 議會(huì)。
    第三空 前面A powerful way of……靠什么方式起作用呢,文中說到了大眾媒體,很顯然選項(xiàng)D最符合意思,并且這個(gè)also表示“也”的意思,即還有公開會(huì)議和***等。
    第四空,本段就兩句話,注意not only …but also ,很明顯作者開始強(qiáng)調(diào)inform and influence the public,涉及壓力集團(tuán)和人民大眾,所以選項(xiàng)A中,具體舉了一個(gè)例子來說明壓力集團(tuán)怎樣影響和告知大眾的。
    最后一題,最后一段話中的關(guān)鍵詞是pressure 和political,壓力集團(tuán)有時(shí)支持政治團(tuán)體有時(shí)又對政府的一些政策施壓,所以最后一句話就是壓力集團(tuán)的一個(gè)定位問題,它不是政治團(tuán)體,因?yàn)樗蛔非笸耆?、永久的政治?quán)利。
