这类题要求考生预测作者接着要讲什么内容。提问方式有:(1)Inthenextpart,theauthorwouldmostprobablydiscuss__________.(2)Whatismostlikelytobediscussedintheparagraphthatfollows?(3)Whatwilltheauthormostprobablydiscussintheparagraphthatfollows?预测文章后续内容做这类题时应把握作者的写作思路,如文章可能按事件发展的经过描写,也可能按因果关系、对比关系来叙述,从而做出比较科学的、合情合理的预测。此外,要把握文章主旨,分析框架结构,注意最后一段的内容,特别留意最后几句话。经典例题[例1]Timeissomethingfromwhichwecan’tescape.Evenifweignoreit,it’sstillgoingby,tickingaway,secondbysecond,minutebyminute,hourbyhour.Sothemainissueinusingyourtimewellis,“Who’sincharge?”Wecanallowtimetoslipbyandletitbeourenemy.Orwecantakecontrolofitandmakeitourally.Bytakingcontrolofhowyouspendyourtime,you’llincreaseyourchancesofbecomingamoresuccessfulstudent.Perhapsmoreimportantly,thebetteryouareatmanagingthetimeyoudevotetoyourstudies,themoretimeyouwillhavetospendonyouroutsideinterests.Theaimoftimemanagementisnottoscheduleeverymomentsowebecomeslavesofatimetablethatgovernseverywakingmomentoftheday.Instead,theaimistopermitustomakeinformedchoicesastohowweuseourtime.58.Inthenextpart,theauthorwouldmostprobablydiscusswithyou______.A.howtokeepupwiththetimesB.howtomakeupforlosttimeC.howtohaveagoodtimeD.howtomakegooduseoftimeD解析:D第一段第3句(So…)提出观点或主题:如何用好你的时间的关键是谁主宰谁,你可以让时间溜走也可以掌控时间。第二段谈主宰时间的好处;第三段谈主宰时间的目的。由本文主题可知,接下来的第四段,作者应是谈如何利用好时间了,故选D。选项A“如何跟上时代”,选项B“如何补回丢失的时间”,选项C“如何玩得开心”,均与主题无关,应排除。[例2]Sometimes,thesimplestideasarethebest.Forexample,toabsorbheatfromthesuntoheatwater,youneedlarge,flat,blacksurfaces.Onewaytodothatistobuildthosesurfacesspecially,ontheroofsofbuildings.Butwhygotoallthattroublewhencitiesarefullofblacksurfacesalready,intheformofasphalt(柏油)roads?Tenyearsago,thisthoughtcameintothemindofAriandeBondt,aDutchengineer.Hefinallypersuadedhisbosstofollowitup.Theresultisthattheirbuildingisnowheatedinwinterandcooledinsummerbyasystemthatreliesonthesurfaceoftheroadoutside.Theheat-collectorisasystemofconnectedwaterpipes…Inwinter,theworkingsystemischangedslightly.Waterispumpedthroughtheheatexchangerstopickuptheheatstoredduringsummer.Thiswatergoesintothebuildingandisusedtowarmtheplaceup.Afterperformingthattask,itispumpedundertheasphaltanditsremainingheatkeepstheroadfreeofsnowandice.69.Whatismostlikelytobediscussedintheparagraphthatfollows?A.Whatweshalldoifthesystemgoeswrong.B.Whatweshalldoiftherearenoasphaltroads.C.Howthesystemcoolsthebuildinginsummer.D.Howthesystemcollectsheatinspringandautumn.C解析:C第二段中有heatedinwinterandcooledinsummer,而此处的最后一段介绍了这种系统是如何让建筑物在冬天(inwinter)得到保暖的。由此可知,作者接着会解释这种系统是如何在夏天为建筑物降温的了,故选C。阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项•1.Whydoestheauthorcomparetheparent-teenwartoaborderconflict?A.Neitherhasanyclearwinner.B.Neithercanbeputtoanend.C.Bothcancontinueforgenerations.D.Bothareaboutwheretodrawtheline.即学即用D本文作者在指出许多父母存在与子女之间的矛盾之后,主要分析了产生矛盾的原因,并介绍了几种具体情况。解析:D细节理解题。在题干中画出特征词parent-teenwar,通过寻读,将答案信息定位在第一段第二句;然后,理解该句句意“家长与子女之间的矛盾就像邻国之间的边境冲突一样,是为了边界线:哪里才是我所控制的与你能做的之间的线”,对照各选项,可知选D。•2.WhatdoestheunderlinedpartinParagraph2mean?A.Theteensaccusetheirparentsofmisleadingthem.B.Theteensagreewiththeirparentsonthecauseoftheconflict.C.Theteensblametheirparentsforstartingtheconflict.D.Theteenstendtohaveafullunderstandingoftheirparents.C解析:C词义猜测题。由inthesameway可知,要理解该句的意思,须理解前文的内容;由本段第二句可知“双方都不愿为引起矛盾负责(暗含:是责备对方引起的)”,由第三句可知“在父母看来,矛盾的根源完全是子女不讲道理”;接下来的画线句的字面意思“除了恰恰相反外,子女以完全相同的方式来看待这个问题”。推断隐含意思:子女们认为矛盾根源是父母不讲理,故选C。•3.Parentsandteenswanttoberightbecausetheywantto.A.gainrespectfromtheotherB.gettheothertobehaveproperlyC.giveorderstotheotherD.knowmorethantheother解析:A根据最后一段倒数第2句bothwishtobeconsideredanauthority—someonewhoactuallyknowssomething—andthereforetocommandrespect可推知A正确。A•4.Thepassagemainlytellsus.A.theagreementsbetweenparentsandchildrenB.thedisagreementsbetweenparentsandchildrenC.bothparentsandchildrenwantpeaceD.bothparentsandchildrenwanttowinthewar解析:B主旨大意题。由各段第一句可知,本文主要向读者分析了父母同子女之间的矛盾。B•5.Whatwilltheauthormostprobablydiscussintheparagraphthatfollows?A.Examplesoftheparent-teenwar.B.Causesfortheparent-teenconflicts.C.Futureoftheparent-teenrelationshipD.Solutionsfortheparent-teenproblemsD解析:D推断下续内容。因Para1指出了父母与子女之间存在矛盾(theparent-teenwar—alongwar,aborderconflict);Para2主要分析了产生矛盾的原因(neitheriswillingtoadmitanyresponsibilityforstartingit);Para3列举了三种不和的情况(threeno-winsituations);接下来作者会讨论什么?结合以上三段内容,并结合第三段第一句提供的重要线索andthensuggestsomewaysoutofthetrap,可知作者接下来会提出解决办法。故选D。•1.出现a________•2.和平p________•3.争吵q________•4.承认a________•5.adolescent________arisepeacequarreladmit青少年复记强化•6.conflict________•7.boundary________•8.oppositely________•9.unreasonableness__________•10.tendency_____________•你认为自己还需强化记忆的词汇、句式有:_____________________________________分歧界限相反不合理倾向、趋势
