今天我们重点说说名词的辨析,不过都是完型填空,类似的问题在动词、形容词都会出现,大家不必那么死板。
0. 3500词,你真的背透了吗?
【2020西城一模】(讲一个人不小心开车创上了铁道)She (sat) in the minivan, bruised but mostly just knocked out by the ( ) and the airbags.
A. action B. noise C. impact D. bomb
【答案】C 我在第一次做这个题的时候选的是B,其实也知道noise多指那种“嗡嗡嗡”的响声而不是巨响,但是真的没有想到答案是impact,因为impact在我的脑子中一直只有“效果”的意思。“have a huge impact on”这种。但实际上,查词网站上impact一词的第一个意思就是“撞击”。词没有了解透彻的恶果。
实际上,不论是阅读题还是完型填空,“错”很有可能就是不知道词汇的完整用法所导致的,甚至阅读很多时候,就是不了解选项的句式所表达的意思而出错,请大家在批判或自我批判之前最好先查查字典或者问问老师。你我共勉。
1. “扣帽子”“定性”类题目
其实就这一种了,其它考名词的也太简单了。多见于文末。
这一类题型其实比较好解决,有时候可以把它和B篇的“which of the following words can best describe...”这类题目联系起来考虑,例如:
【2021西城二模】(讲快递小哥Turns做事用心,经常在送快递的时候为居民做一些小好事)Turns is well-known for his thoughtfulness and ( ).
A. determination B. courage C. patience D. kindness
【答案】D 非常的白送,只是举个例子罢了。
当然,如果是要给整个事件扣帽子,就有些难度了,大家见多了可以自己总结,如:
【2019朝阳期末】(上期选过这篇文章里的题,讲飞机失事,乘客自己翻越安第斯山脉找到出路最终成功)
...but for now, their terrible ( ) is over, They had made it out-(alive).
A. performance B. experience C. challenge D. exploration
【答案】B
给整个事件扣帽子的题型其实也在B篇里出现过,但是是三年以前了,不过也可以看看,我认为作为一道略偏的题(东城嘛)还是比较有价值的
【2019东城一模】哈哈,我复制粘贴过来的
In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.
"Let's go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!" Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.
Suddenly, Zach cried. "Zach!" Steve shouted. "Are you OK? Where are you?" Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.
As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn't come back. Steve couldn't blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn't have a clue which way.
Steve and Zach hadn't gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they'd just climbed. But Steve didn't get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy's jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle's life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?
Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. "OK, big guy," Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn't have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they'd walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!
- The passage basically describes( )
A. an adventure B. an exploration C. an escape game D. a training program
【答案】C 有的同学看到主人公纠结要不要相信那条狗,最终还是相信了的过程,觉得这是一种冒险,但其实纠结的过程不是文章写到的主要内容,而且game其实并不像大家想像的那样轻浮,这里可以理解为和浓烟赛跑的竞赛。
【2020海淀一模·本篇更是重量级】(讲主人公家里没钱买钢琴请钢琴老师,主人公就用纸画钢琴键盘自己练习,虽然练真琴的机会不多,但最终居然还弹得不错,进入了音乐学院)The paper piano helped stimulate my ( ) about how music works.
A. prediction B. memory C. curiosity D. imagination
【答案】C 反正我当年选的D,至今不太明白。在纸上弹琴肯定得自己脑补呀,可能stimulate跟curiosity天生一对?
