1. 搭配律
1.介詞搭配看自己
介詞搭配看自己就是說不用看文章,直接看這個空的前面,其實就是詞組搭配,這種題答案跟文章主題、上下文無關,就跟空前后相關,獨立解題。
例如:To the men and women who 1 in World WarⅡand the people they liberated, the G. I. was the common man grown into hero, the poor farm kid torn away from his home…(2012年)
[A] served [B] performed [C] rebelled [D] betrayed
答案:[A] served
分析:本題直接考查了serve in這個詞組,意思是"服兵役"。[B] performed放在句子中意思不正確。[C] rebelled和[D] betrayed不和介詞in搭配。所以解這道題不用看文章,直接看空前后即可做出。
2.成分搭配看前后:
口訣:考動詞,看主賓特點;考形容詞,看其功能是定語還是表語,前者看被修飾名詞;后者看其主語--看被修飾詞的特點(eg. 人/物),而不是看意思;考名詞,看搭配或辨析語境。
每年會有5分左右直接或間接考,是重中之重!
例1:Every morning, its people ______ into the offices and factories of America
[A] swarm [B] stride [C] separate [D] slip
答案:[A] swarm
分析:選動詞,ABCD都可以跟into搭配,沒有答案。這是要看名詞people,即主謂關系。本題前面有一句話:with 56000 people…,強調"多",選A.
2. 關聯律
1) 讀首句,判斷主題
Happy people work differently.
The researchers wanted to know if the 4 and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would 5 the way companies invested. (2016年)
4. [A] individualism [B] modernism [C] optimism [D] realism
答案:[C]
分析:首句提到主題happy,所以根據主題相關可得出the 4 and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness中的第4題應該選optimism與happy的語義相關、褒貶色彩一致。
2) 一句多空,前后信息要一致
例如:Finding ways to assist this growing homeless population has become increasingly difficult 11 when homeless individuals manage to find a 12 that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night, a good number still spend the bulk of each day 13 the street.
11.[A] Hence [B] But [C] Even [D] Only
12.[A] lodging [B] shelter [C] dwelling [D] house
13.[A] searching [B] strolling [C] crowding [D] wandering
答案:11. [C] 12. [B] 13. [D]
分析:空前談到設法幫助日益增多的無家可歸者變得越來越艱巨,空后說他們都找到了…。根據句意可知這兩句是讓步關系,只有C符合語境,故11選C。根據12空后句可知12空是個地方,且這個地方能夠讓流浪者白天有三餐。晚上能安眠,根據句意判斷,這個地方應該是庇護所,選B。根據13空前后語義:大部分每天在街上…。流浪者在街上干什么呢?漫無目的地游蕩,所以選D。
3) 同義現象定答案
For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment would soon "revolutionize the very concept of money itself," only to 4 itself several years later. (2013年)
[A] reward [B] resist [C] resume [D] reverse
答案:[D] reverse
分析:空格填入的動詞跟前面的動詞 revolutionize (變革)意思上應該是同義替換的,要選擇含有變革,徹底改變意思的詞匯,四個選項中A. reward 獎勵 B. 抵抗 C. resume 重新開始,繼續,都不合適,只有D選項reverse"顛覆"最為貼切,本句譯為"電子支付方式不久將改變貨幣的定義,并將在數年后顛覆貨幣本身。"
4) 對選現象二選一
Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work 6 the disappearance of the paper system.(2013年)
[A] for [B] against [C] with [D] on
答案:[B] against
分析:for 和against意思相反,再根據句意,可得出答案[B] against。
