15、作程序或制作过程先后排序,或按重要性排序等。题中含有原文单词、词组、句型的转述,再以a,b,c,d,e,f等给事件标上序号。这类题属于事实细节题,只需浅层理解,难度较小,一般从阅读材料中可以直接找到答案,但是这种题容易错,比较耗时间。解答这类题的具体过程如下:第一步,在af中画出关键词或特征词;第二步,寻读,在文中找到af的对应信息,并在文中标上af。这样可使顺序一目了然,也减少了阅读量;注意年代数词和表示时间先后关系的词,如:then,after,shortly after,afterwards,after that,before that,in the same year,later,an
16、d,next,at last,finally,so等。第三步,弄清“首事件”和“尾事件”,利用“排除法”,迅速缩小范围,快速选出正确答案。这也就是所谓的“首尾定位法”。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。FScott Fitzgerald, born on September 24,1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St.Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while.In 1917 h
