第十三周 代词指代题-【名师指津】2023高考英语一轮复习阅读完形天天练（新题型）

第十三周 代词指代题 名师指津 1 名师指津 代词指代题，主要是考查作者为使行文连贯或使上下文衔接更紧密而使用的衔接手段——代词的指代，即要求考生据语境推断that，it，them等代词或含代词的短语的指代信息。这类题的题干一般含有refer to(指)。 名师指津 指代信息可以是一个名词、短语、句子或更多内容。从指代内容的位置上看，通常都在前一句中或同一句的前半部分，但也有在它前面几个句子中出现指代内容的，出现在后面的句子中则很少见。 名师指津 找指代内容的方法是由代词的单复数确定指代的名词的单复数，另外还要考虑指人还是指物等。找到指代的内容后把它放在这个代词的位置上，看看这句话是否合理通顺，与前后的内容是否前后衔接，然后再判定它是否为正确答案。 名师指津 ［典型例题1］(2022年新高考Ⅱ卷·30) “We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, “people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.” 名师指津 A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws. ◇ What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to? 名师指津 点拨：结合画线所在句中的“on the books that can change people’s behavior”可知，something是以文书的形式能够改变人们行为的东西。再结合下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, ‘people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.’ (他说，如果Textalyzer法案成为法律，人们会更害怕拿起手机。)”可知，人们的行为会改变的条件是当Textalyzer法案成为法律，因此something指代的是法律，故选D项。 名师指津 ［典型例题2］(2020年新高考Ⅰ卷·9) In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea. 名师指津 His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.
