第一讲 依据设空位置定思考方向
句子在段落中的位置不同,所起的作用也不同。命题人之所以采用段首、段中和段尾三种挖空方式,正是利用挖空位置的暗示作用和挖空上下文的提示作用来考查考生的逻辑思维能力。本讲主要是从空格位置及所承担的语意关系层面来讲解做题技法。
位置一 设空在段首
若段落首句设空,段首句要么与段落标题相关联,要么是段落主旨句,选项要有概括性,要么承接上段,要么是对下文的概括。若是针对段落小标题设空,其呈现形式应和其他小标题相同,选项短小精悍,多为名词词组、动词ing形式短语或祈使句。
段落主旨句
某段开头处设空的常见考查内容之一是该段的主旨句。考生需要认真研读该段内容,尤其是设空处后面的一两句,确定线索句,然后从备选项中查找这些线索词的同义词、近义词或关联词,一般正确选项与空后第一句在内容上是连贯且符合逻辑的,在意义上是紧密衔接的。

承上启下的过渡句
当非首段的段首设空时,设空处也有可能是承上启下的过渡句。此类题目要求考生既要熟悉上文(尤其是上一段)的内容,又要结合本段内容,综合考虑后选择能使上下段自然衔接的答案。

解析: 根据空处所在的位置可知,该空很可能是承上启下的过渡句。根据空后内容可知,该段主要讲述的是法国人吃得少的另一个原因,即水果价格昂贵。分析选项可知,E项符合语境,且该项中的That指代上文论述过的原因。

Parisians are different from you and me.They never look lazy or untidy.As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago,they eat great food and never gain weight.The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.French strawberries do not taste like cardboard.Instead,they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
