一、会话理解题
对话理解部分不同于以往听力理解,因为对话的内容和问题都已出现在试卷上,所以题目和选项的难度都增加了许多。
【答题技巧】我们需要理解字里行间的意思,听出弦外之音,(1)理解说话人的真实意图;(2)口语中习语和惯用法。特别是第二位说话者的话要仔细理解,因为第一位说话者仅仅是提出问题。
【例题讲解】
1. Woman: I want to talk withTom now.
Man: You can't do that.He is in bad mood.
Question: Why can't the womantalk with Tom now?
A. Tom is terribly ill.
B. Tom is in low spirits.
C. Tom is bad-tempered
D. Tom is very nervous.
【解析】本题考查对短语"in bad mood"的理解,be in bad mood=be in low spirits意为“心情不好”“没心情”“没情绪”,因此选项B是正确答案。
2. Woman: Youoften complain a lot about your boss. But today you are different.
Man: We had aheart-to-heart talk and I saw him with my eyes.
Question: What does theman mean?
A. Hesaw his boss as a real person for the first time.
B. Heis now complaining in a different way.
C. Hehas made his boss change his attitude.
D. Hehas changed his opinion of his boss.
【解析】本题考查对男方回答的隐含理解。男方的回答解释了自己态度转变的原因,也就肯定了女方的看法:Today you aredifferent.因此选项D是正确答案。
二、语法挑错
语法挑错题的考试范围较广,需要大家的语法知识一方面要扎实,另一方面要掌握的全面。
【答题技巧】
(1)一般说来,像名词的单复数、形容词的比较级和最高级、代词指代的一致性、平行结构等简单问题的问题在这一部分都会考到,但不可能在第三部分即词汇和语法部分考到,因为他们比较简单,但如果放在挑错中就变得比较难以辨认。(2)除了这些简单的语法知识,其他比较重要的语法知识如时态和语态、虚拟语气、非谓语动词、从句、强调和倒装等也会出现在这里,答题技巧和方法我们在外语教育网网络课堂里面已经讲到,如果大家没有听到的话,我们来看两道例题:
【例题讲解】
1. This school [A] has had a number of [B] distinguished [C] former pupils. Many of [D] us have become famous today.
【解析】本题中选项D中的代词us是错误的,因为我们这里需要一个代词要代替前文中的pupils,因此要使用一个第三人称的代词,而不是第一人称的代词,这就是代词指代的.一致性问题。
2. [A] This is the very athlete [B] whomeveryone [C] says will win the gold medal [D] atthe winter Olympic Games.
【解析】本题中引导定语从句的引导词whom是错误的,因为现行词athlete在后面的定语从句中做了主语,因此要使用who.
三、词汇和语法
本部分共有30道试题,一般说来词汇题15道,语法题15道。词汇试题主要分为以下几种类型,同学们在复习的时候可以加以关注:
(1)形近词
【例题讲解】The ______ of lung cancer is particularly high amonglong-term heavy smokers.
A. incidence B.evidence C. incident D. accident
【解析】从四个选项来看,词形非常相近,但意思各有不同,incidence发生率;evidence证据;incident事件;accident事故
(2)近义词
【例题讲解】It suddenly__________ to me that I had turned to thewrong person to help.
A. dawned B. happened C. occurred D.known
【解析】从选项B和C来看都有发生的意思,但只有选项C能够用在it occurred to sb that…这个句型中,表示“某人突然想到了某事。”
(3)熟词生义
【例题讲解】Cathy doesn't care about what she eats, but she is very_____about what she mears.
A particular B caring C careless D demanding
【解析】particular除了有“个别的”意思以外,还可以用在短语be particular about中,意思是“对……挑剔”,是固定搭配。
(4)语境词汇
所谓语境词汇考查指的是要根据上下文的语境,去填入一个争取答案,使本题在语义上完整。
【例题讲解】Courageous people think quickly and act without_______.
A. complaint B. consideration C.hesitation D. anxiety
【解析】前面一句话说的是“勇敢的人思维敏捷”,后面一句话应当是“毫不犹豫地去做”,因此只有选项C是正确答案。
在这一部分的语法题中,主要考查前文中提到的英语学习中非常重要的语法知识,如时态和语态、虚拟语气、非谓语动词、从句、强调和倒装等。
