代词猜测与句意猜测题解答攻略
代词猜测题主要考查文章中的人称代词、不定代词、指示代词或关系代词所指代的内容。解答这类题目时候一定要遵循“就近原则”,即:代词往上找,就近原则不能忘,找出离代词最近的名词、词组或句子等。
【典例】 (2020·浙江7月卷阅读B)
The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue,Washington,generally don’t flash the same length of green twice in a row,especially at rush hour.At 9:30 am,the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds.By 9:33 am,a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds.Less traffic at 9:37 am could push it down to 135.Just like the traffic itself,the timing of the signals changes.
That is by design.Bellevue,a fast-growing city just east of Seattle,uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US:intersection(十字路口)signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions.These lights,known as adaptive signals,have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.
25. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Increased length of green lights.
B. Shortened traffic signal cycle.
C. Flexible timing of traffic signals.
D. Smooth traffic flow on the road.
【分析】
·第一步 确定题干中的关键信息:the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2
·第二步 定位到原句,并找出该词所代替的内容:根据代词永远出现在原词之后的原则,故代词所指代的内容应在这一句的前面一句或者前面几个句子中。所以该词所代替的内容为:Just like the traffic itself,the timing of the signals changes.
·第三步 综合判断得出答案:that指代第一段中的多变的交通信号灯时间。
句意猜测题一般出现在前后文有解释的特殊含义的语句或高度概括句中,要求考生用合适的句子解释这一语句或这一语句的某一部分。锁定语句前后寻,意义吻合是解题关键。
