指代关系题
基本介绍:
iBT考试要求考生不仅确定词在文章段落种的意思，而且要找到指代词，即一个词可用另一个词或词组来指代。所有答词都可用来大体一个词，词组或其所表达的意思。 指代词可使句与句之间的过渡衔接顺利。
出题形式:
The word…in the passage refers to…
The phrase…in paragraph refers to…
解题技巧:
方案一: “删除”
去除不代表数字或性别的选项，区别单复数。
方案二: “代入”
以选项代入法来检测词意或逻辑性，寻找具有同样语法结构的词或词组。
方案三: “靠前”
每一篇文章种都有一个指代关系题。通常代词所指的使紧靠它前面的词，但也会有例外，三篇文章总共有2至3题。
案例:
A study of elderly men and women in New Zealand found that television can actually serve as a companion by assuming “the role of social contact with the wider world.” Reducing “feeling of isolation and loneliness because it directs viewers” attention away from themselves. Thus television’s replacement voices can provide comfort because they distract from a focus on being alone.
The word it in the passage refers to
A: companion
B: isolation
C: loneliness
D: television
分析
选项D 正确. television 实际上在这里的意思是television programming. 电视节目能够转移人们的注意力.
选项A 属干扰项, 从语境来说很容易被接受, 但从语法角度来讲不是正确答案.
答案B和C的干扰作用在于它们从距离上讲离it 代词最近, 很容易产生混淆作用.
总之, 在做iBT指代关系题的时候, 要排除干扰选项, 选出正确答案. 其特点是单数与复数，人和物容易混淆, 指代周围充满了很多单词，词组和观点等等. 总之, 把握住解题技巧, 相信可以取得事半功倍的效果.作者: serein 时间: 2010-6-24 14:54
