29、a lot about China help you learn Chinese.Try and write to me in Chinese the next time.Best wishes.Yours truly,Li Hua语篇解读作者对于如何学好汉语给朋友提出了建议。13考查非谓语动词。letter后面的成分是定语,修饰your letter,your letter和ask之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。故将aks改为asking。14考查形容词。a little修饰不可数名词。a few修饰名词复数。suggestions是复数,故将little改为few。15考查介词。l
30、earn from sb.意为“向某人学习”,是固定短语。故在learn后加from。16考查时态和主谓一致。该句介绍汉语课程的作用,应用一般现在时态。主语为第三人称单数it,根据主谓一致原则,谓语动词应用helps。故将helped改为helps。17考查形容词。whenever possible是whenever it is possible的省略形式,此处为形容词作表语。故将possibly改为possible。18考查连词。句意为:学唱汉语歌是一个好主意,因为通过这样做,你会比平常更容易地学习并记住汉字。根据句意,应将so改为because。19考查比较级。根据后面的than可知,该句
31、应用easily的比较级more easily。又因为much可以用来修饰比较级。故将much改为more或在much后加more。20考查代词。该句主语是上一句中的“Chinese friends”,代指复数名词应用they。故将He改为They。21考查连词。前后两句之间是顺承关系,不是选择关系,故应将or改为and。22考查冠词。next time 是相对现在而言的“下一次”, the next time 是相对过去某时而言的“下一次” 。该句是指相对现在而言的“下一次”,故应将the去掉。.书面表达(2018全国名校联盟冲刺卷)假定你叫李华,是英才中学的学生会主席,你校将接待一批来自英

36、 is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.Over the years,there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 ,they can get a little complex.But good news is that therere really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about c
37、olor in your home:the small ones,the medium ones,and the large ones. 38 .Theyre the little spots of color like throw pillows,mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms.Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa,small color cho

40、e ones were most familiar with EIts not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces FSo it pays to be sure,because you want to get it right the first time GColor choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways语篇解读颜色是房间设计的基本要素之一。这篇说明文介绍了大、中、小三种规模物品的颜色选择及各自的优点。36答案B
41、解析解本题可用关联逻辑法。空前的三个问句是问读者想要寻找什么样的房间设计,结合空后的“color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel”可知,不管你想让你的房间怎样,颜色是关键。本设空类型属于细节理解类。37答案A解析解本题可用词汇锁定法。空格后的they指代上文中的techniques,且与A项中的all of them相呼应,代入A项“尽管它们都很有用”,符合语境,故为答案。本设空类型属于细节理解类。38答案D解析解本题可用设题位置法。上一段最后提到“the small ones,the medium on
42、es,and the large ones”,再结合最后两段首句中的“Medium color choices”和“The large color decisions”可判断,本段介绍small color choices,故选D项。本设空类型属于段落主题句类。39答案G解析解本题可用关联逻辑法。根据空后的“They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones,and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.”可知,这里讲述两个方面,这与G项中的in two major
43、 ways相照应。本设空类型属于细节理解类。40答案F解析解本题可用关联逻辑法。根据空前的“the time,effort and relative expense put into it are significant”可知,大型物品的颜色选择所需要的时间、精力、费用很大,这恰与F项构成因果关系。本设空类型属于细节理解类。一、题型解读段中设空即主题句的展开句。尤其注意分析空前后的逻辑关系和行文逻辑及内容的连贯性,注意各句间的衔接手段。其特点主要以转折手法引出主题句,或者是用来承上启下的过渡句,也可能是补充前文具体的事实、事例和说明。二、解题技巧1根据并列或递进关系解题并列或递进关系主要指行文
44、中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间有first(第一),second(第二),third(第三);firstly(第一,首先),secondly(第二,其次),thirdly(第三);first(首先),next(其次),then(那么,然后);in the first place(第一,首先),for another(其次);to begin with(首先,第一),to conclude(最后)等连接词或词组,则表明前后两句是逻辑上的并列关系,空格处很有可能是个并列的句子。如果空格前后两句之间有also(也,而且),further(进一步地,而且),furthermor
45、e(而且,此外),likewise(同样地,也),similarly(相同地,类似地),moreover(而且,此外),in addition(另外),whats more(更重要的是),not only.but also(不但而且)等连接词或词组,则表明前后两句是逻辑上的递进关系,空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。2根据转折或让步关系解题转折或让步关系主要指行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间有however(然而),nevertheless(然而,不过),still(还,仍然),though(可是,不过,然而),yet(然而),on the contrary(正相反),in contrast(与此相反,相比之下),in comparison(比较起来,与比较),by comparison(相比之下)等连接词,则表明前后两句话是逻辑上的逆转,空格处很有可能表示转折或让步关系。3根据因果关系解题如果前后的句子之间出现as a result(结果),thus/therefore(因此),so/such.that(如此以至于)等标志性词语,表明前后句有着因果关系。4根据解释例证关系解题前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式具有多样性,思维过程基本是归纳(从例子到观点)和演绎(从观点到例子)。
