很多考生在准备新加坡SM1项目英语考试时完形填空往往是失分的部分,一是完形填空比较国内的中考和高考的词汇要难,而是对题型的不熟悉,解题策略找不到。今天狮才小才子就为想参加新加坡SM1项目考试的考生剖析下完形填空的解题策略。
我们一起来看看下面是SM1 英语考试节选(选词填空完形):
Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can __1__ performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on __2__ and gifts from others.
广告The latter view has gained many supporters, __3__ among educators. But the careful use of small __4__ rewards speaks creativity in grade school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed __5__inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
A、mental B、promise C、kill D、avoid
E、hope F、especially G、aid H、ordinary
I、approval J、monetary K、generally L、improve
M、challenging N、restore O、excellent
狮才小才子点题: 对于这种完形填空,首先要确定选项的词性,尤其是对不认识单词的词性判定,比如选型J是Monetary 这个单词,我们要联想到money 这个单词变过来的,然后ary或ry 一般是形容词的结尾,这样就可以判定这个单词是形容词词性。 我们来对应文章第4题,需要填一个形容词,那么monetary就是备选项了,monetary rewards 刚好是金钱上的奖励的词组搭配,联系上文一直在讲cold cash 说的就是金钱或者货币,此处就选monetary就对了。
广告我们再来看看第1个题的词性判定为何动词原形,因为can 是情态动词后面接动词原形, 我们就可以锁定答案被选为 B, C, D, E, L, N。 然后可以排除呢? 文章开头总说了2种对立的观点,后面是分说。我们定位到前面是( )performance;后面是destroy creativity ;由于是2种对立的观点,那么肯定这个空是和destroy creativity 对立的或是相反的意思,那很明显这个及物动词就是L 选项improve (提高)表现。 最后记住一定要分清及物动词和不及物动词的区别,及物动词是可以直接接宾语。
