15、关系。代词一般是“回指”前面提到过的某一事物或内容。如:Our curtains look dirty. They need a good wash.(They回指our curtains)但有时也“预指”后面出现的某一事物或内容。如:I shall say this to you:he is an honest man.(this预指冒号后面的he is an honest man)高考的阅读理解题中有关代词的指代关系的考查,主要有两类:1直接要求考生指出代词所指的具体内容。【例】However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a go
16、al and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that,_in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.In this Paragraph, the underlined word “that” refers to_Abeing good at somethingBsetting a practical goalCputting in more
17、 timeDsucceeding in life解析:that是回指前句中的“set a goal and then gradually make it more practical”。答案: B2间接考查考生对代词指代内容的把握。因为代词在上下文或上下句中起语义的衔接作用,在解答某些细节题时,如果不弄清代词的指代内容,就很难选出正确的答案。解题时,考生需要利用代词的回指或预指来理清上下句的衔接关系,从而找到问题的答案。【例】 It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet
18、 to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge.

19、ter she was back on the platform.CAfter the police and fire officials came.DWhen a man was cleaning the blood from her head.解析:解答本题的关键是理解“That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness(那就是丽莎苏醒的地方)”中的that。结合前句,不难看出that是回指the platform。答案:B阅读下列文段节选,从每题所给的A,B,C和D项中,选出最佳选项。1Valderzak had adjusted to
