所谓“题眼”,就是指那些在短文中起重要作用的关键词以及能够帮助我们解决问题问题的特定的语境。捕捉题眼,就是要迅速找到语篇中的特殊的内在联系——那些表示因果、递进、转折、指代等意义的连接词及动词、形容词、副词、同位语等,还有那些明确具体的事实(如时间、地点、人物、形状、色彩、顺序),以及它们之间的关系等。
跳身——避难就易,节省时间
在解题过程中,我们应该遵循“先易后难”的原则,遇到少数疑难问题时不可徘徊不前。为了不影响做题速度,我们可以暂时跳过难点,去解决那些靠上下文能确定的、比较直接具体的问题。或许在上文中难以判断的题在下文中就有暗示或明确的表示,或许一个在前面不能解的题在填出了另一空后会令你豁然开朗。一般说来,固定词组、习惯搭配、常见句型及明显的语法结构等易于判断。
扫尾——复读全文,解决残敌
到了这时,借助已经补全的空白,我们应该对全文有了更清楚的理解,可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题,如采用排除法逐步缩小包围圈等方法。对于实在无从下手的个别题目,我们则完全可以凭语感来确定:
把几个选项逐一放在空格内念两遍,哪个念起来顺口、舒服就选哪个。注意:凭语感选定的答案不要轻易改动,因为最初的感觉很可能是正确的。
在各空都已填出后,再复读全文。我们必须重视这最后的弥补疏漏,改正错误的扫尾机会,以争取最好成绩。

【要点综述】本文是记叙文。二十年前,在第一节理科实验课上,一位教授做了一个实验,这个实验告诉学生们,不要相信自己的判断。正是这个实验让一位妇女以后远离了理科。
36. C 联系下文an important lesson about science我们知道,这是一节理科实验课。
37. D 从空后的placed upon his desk a large jar filled with…我们可以知道,老师走进了教室。
38. B 联系空后的how many beans the jar contained我们可以知道,教授让学生们猜一下,这个坛子能装多少豆子。
39. D 联系空后的shouts of wildly wrong guesses我们知道,学生们喊出了各种错误的推测,教授听了他们
喊出的答案。
40. C 联系空前的announced和空后的answer我们知道,教授向学生们公布了正确答案。
41. A 联系空后的an important lesson about science我们知道,教授认为他们学到了一堂非常重要的理科课程。
42. B 学生们的推测都是错误的,因此教授说,“不要相信你们的意识。” 43. D 联系下文But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept…我们知道,这个妇女能够推测教授心里是怎
么想的。
44. C 前文有提示:The professor 37 (marched into) the lecture hall,由此我们可以得出答案。 45. A 联系空后的into the unknown world我们知道,教授的目的是带学生们进行一次激动人心的知识旅行。 46. B 联系后文which can be discovered only through scientific 47 (method)我们知道,这个世界是眼睛看不到的,只有通过科学方法才可以看到。
8
47. D 联系前文的invisible to the eye我们知道,这个世界只有通过科学的方法才可以看到。
48. A 联系空前的could not accept我们知道,她不能接受,甚至听到这个邀请。or在这里表达前后为顺接
关系,因此其他选项可以排除。
49. B 联系前文的the seventeen-year-old girl我们可以推断,这个小女孩年龄很小,只是刚刚开始认识这个世界。
50. A 空后的her firsthand experience could be the 51 (truth)是她的认识,因此我们选believed。
51. D 联系前文我们知道,教授想告诉学生的是第一手经验并不一定是事情的真相,我们要通过科学实验来验证真相,但是小女孩的想法与之相反。
52. C 联系前文我们可以知道,教授认为小女孩认识世界的方式是错误的。 53. B 显然空前提到的her first-hand experience就是她认识世界的工具。
54. C 联系下文的haven?t gone near science since我们知道,她对理科产生了恐惧。
55. A 联系空后的haven?t gone near science since我们知道,那天下午她就放弃了理科。D有一定干扰性,
miss意思是“错过”,因此可以排除。
