高考英语七选五解题妙招之3——时态一致性原则
时态除了在语法填空题型有考查之外,解答七选五题目时,有时依据时态一致原则会达到事半功倍的效果。
1.【新高考Ⅰ】
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. 37 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
2.【北京卷】
Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. 71 Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
B. Humans learn by example – and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.
D. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.
E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else – both what they think and how they feel.
F. Good social skills – including empathy – are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human – and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.
3.【全国III卷】
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 40 Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm.
A. This isn’t usual though.
B. It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.
C. You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.
D. If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts, keep them in a safe place.
E. It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.
F. The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.
G. This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.
4.【北京卷】
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 38 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
5.【北京卷】
In the past, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 40
A.That kept cities very small.
B. The rest lives in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.
参考答案:
1.C 先浏览七个选项,不难发现只有C和F两个选项是一般过去时,且36和37题所在段落均描述发生在过去的话题。然后,在浏览全文时就很容易将36和37题对应F和C两个选项了。F选项中的“our aim”意为“我们的目标”,目标就是做某事的出发点,就是做某事的动机或原因,所以对应36题。C选项介绍公寓的设施,37题毫无悬念。
2. D 空处前后有标志词“Last year”和“Today”,“Today”之前一定是过去时间相关内容。抓住这个依据后就能秒杀71题了,因为涉及过去时间的只有D项中的“the researchers said”。
3. G 空格后面出现了非常明显的标志词“Now”,那么在此之前写到的内容一定是“过去”,也就是说作者在本段将过去和现在进行对比。G选项符合时态一致性原则。分析时间差异是七选五解题的重要思路。
4. D 空处所在段落是明显的过去时态,所以选择范围肯定在C和D这两个选项里。空前提到“冒险者更擅长狩猎、战斗或探险”,与C选项中的“those things”相对应,且上下文完全没有提到“装备精良”的信息,所以排除D选项。
5. B 这篇文章有一个非常显著的特点:全文总体是基于过去时态的。所以与以往的文章里过去时间语句是个别现象不同,这篇文章里现在时间语句是个别现象。若将七个选项进行时间分析的话,ADEF四个选项与过去相关,BCG则涉及到现在。区分时态以后,这篇文章会变得非常简单。B选项符合时态一致性原则,且符合语境。
