前后句之间含有解释的逻辑关系,这样的逻辑关系是很隐蔽的。
例题______that’s why I don’t wear a white coat.正确选项:He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid
例题分析:后面说不穿白大褂,前面则为解释的原因。 2. 例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
例题:Manager should provide regular feedback to their staff.______. 正确选项:For example, when good work has been done it must be praised. 例题分析:选项是对前句举了一个十分明显的例子。 3. 因果关系
前后句的逻辑是因果关系,常见的逻辑表达有:because, for, since, as, the reason is that,result in/ from, be due to, be attributed to 等等。还有一些表示因果逻辑关系的表达是比较隐蔽的,如:underlie(前者构成后者的基础,实际是前者是因,后者是果),再如:in response to(前者作为后者的回应,即后者是因,前者是果)。希望考生在平日英语学习中多作总结,这对高考的各个部分的解题都有好处。
例题:There is no doubt that, in an increasingly competitive trading environment, we are better equipped than ever to compete and to win and we feel increasingly optimistic.______.
正确选项:This is due to our now having a clear strategy(战略) with a focus on the customer, product improvement 例题分析:选项句中有一个非常重要的形容词clear,这个词足以说明该公司的strategy(战略)是正确的,一家公司有着清晰而正确的战略思想当然会使其蒸蒸日上。空格前面一句正是讲的该公司踌躇满志,十分乐观。空格句开头的this is due to 反映出这样的因果逻辑关系。
4. 顺逆关系
英语行文中后句对前句不是顺承逻辑关系就是逆转逻辑关系,这是显然的常识。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。 例题: know as Glasgow’s most fashionable dentist,正确选项Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously.:. 例题分析:空格前句作者用了一个as引起的倒装表示尽管他是城里最时尚的牙医,但人家对工作可是(take seriously),不是绣花枕头。所以考生可以在备选项中搜寻转折逻辑的各种表达法,很快就能找出正确的选项。
三:结构衔接(主要看文章结构和出题位置)
6
文章结构:
a)描述性结构(主要介绍事物、问题或倾向的特点,对人物的描述如传记,包括人身体特征、家庭背景、成长过程、个性爱好、成就贡献等内容进行描述,因此时间、地点往往是出题重点)
(b)释义性结构(解释某一理论、学科、事物,主要用例子比喻类比阐述) (c)比较性结构(把两个人或事物功能、特点、优缺点进行对比)
(d)原因性结构(这种结构主要分析事物的成因,客观的、主观的、直接的、间接的)
(e)驳斥性结构(这种结构主要是先介绍一种观点,然后对其评论或驳斥,然后分析其优点缺点、危害性、最后阐明自己的观点)
四:出题位置 1)如果问题在段首
(a)通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。
(b)与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句,锁定线索信号词,然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这两句间会有 某种的衔接手段,尤其当选项是几句话时。比如,如果选项中出现时间年代时,往往要注意与原文中年代的前后对应关系。 (c)段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示,即阅读上一段结尾部分,通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来,并结合下一段内容,看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
2)如果问题在段尾
(a)空白前的一句或两句是重点语句,重点阅读以锁定关键词。
(b)通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语,选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。
(c)与前文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。 (d)与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下,通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节,因此根据段落一致性原则,在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词,通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构,或出现同义词等其他信号线索。前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句,通常会找到关键的线索词句。
7
(e)所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。
(f)如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
英语文章绝大多数都是总分结构,无论是全篇的逻辑,还是每一个独立的意群(一般以自然段的形式出现)的逻辑都是总分结构。利用总句和分句中可能存在的上述的各种衔接关系可以迅速地解题。由于篇幅有限,这里就不举例说明了。
下面让我们来用上述总结的方法巧解咱们做过的几篇文章。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
\(标签)before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,\
Tokelove.\.___71 __ It will increase profits, and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked.\
Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired
flavors.Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in
stores. 72 Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit.In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.
73 Let's take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.
74 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought.Under current UK law. Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. \with pictures of stawberries is misleading. 75 Unfortunatcly, it is also legal and widespread,\
A.The products which contain real fruit are popular with people. B.Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C.They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all. D.If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.
E.It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products. F.Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.

G.The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
71题解析
原题空格前后两句:\.___71 __ It will increase profits, and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked.\正确选项: D.If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.
分析:这是五题中最简单的一道。选项中的costs 和profits都与金钱,属于同一范畴概念。另一层对应是逻辑上的,空格前面讲到竞争力大,空后讲到能增加利润,又不让顾客发现。所以他们会通过添加其他香料来节约成本。属于我们前面总结的解释型逻辑关系。
72题解析
原题空格前后两句: .Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores. 72 Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. 正确选项:C.They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all.
分析:从数字60 percent,空后11和空前的28可以推出此空与数字有关。再从空中的them和空后的the 11 products可以推测前面提到了products.这属于数字线索。
73题解析
原题空格前后两句: 73 Let's take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.
正确选项:B.Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.分析:这道题是很明显的例证关系,由观点到例子的做题模式。从后句中的was labeled as containing no artificial colors, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.可得出后面是具体以草莓产品为例子,fruit对应strawberries, natural对应artificial,也属于同一范畴类,再从出题位置上,为段首,一般为总结性语言。所以,答案很好锁定。
74题解析
原题空格前后两句: 74 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. 正确选项:G.The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.分析:此题空后讲到顾客有权利,上面应该是权力机构的要求。也就是Consumers have the rights和The Food Commission是同一范畴词汇对应;第二层对应为:选项中的空后的clearly和空中的should be listed on the packaging.为对应关系。
75题解析
原题空格前后两句:\surface of the packed with pictures of strawberries is misleading. 75 Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread,\正确选项F.Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage
9
of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
分析:此题有两层对应。第一层对应是:空格后面的,strawberries是和空中的strawberries第二层对应是:misleading和空中的Actually tiny percentage of strawberry属于例证关系。
