16、它同样可以分为:同义复现、反义复现、上下义复现、同根词或原词复现。1原词复现。同一单词或短语在选项中和阅读材料中同时出现。2同义复现。就是阅读材料中的词语是以其同义或近义表达出现在正确选项之中。3反义复现。选项中是用与阅读材料中的单词或短语意义相反的单词或短语来表达相同的意思。4同根复现。指词根相同、意义相似的词。5上下义复现。上义语句所指的内容是概括性的,下义的内容是分述具体的。运用复现策略解题首先要定位与问题相关的句子,然后观察及分析该句子前后的句子是否满足复现的情况。完成下列微型阅读理解题。1I arrived in the classroom with paper cards desi
