3. 类推法
如果对题目的备选答案没有十分把握或把握很小,不妨利用"如果A对,那么B也对"的类推法,从而可将A、B予以否定,例如:
--- Who's the man at the door?
--- .
A. He is a doctor B. He is a friend of mine
C. He is a famous singer D. He is twenty
仔细分析备选答案就可发现:A、C选项针对的是"职业"。若A是对的,那么C也会是对的。D回答的是年龄。故惟有B才是正确的。
4. 前后照应法
此方法多用于两个以上句子或对话形式命题的题目。解题前,透彻理解,然后联系上下文,捕捉隐含信息,方能准确找出答案,例如:
--- He isn't a teacher, is he?
--- . He works in a hospital.
A. Yes, he is B. No, he isn't C. Yes, He isn't D. No, he is
本题考查否定句的反意疑问句的回答。由后半句的回答,我们知道"他"的身份不是教师;否定反意疑问句回答中的Yes其实际含义为"不",No的实际含义为"是"。因此应选择的是B。再如:
--- It's dangerous to play here.
--- All right. Let's go and find a place.
A. quiet B. safe C. bright D. dark
联系上下文即可弄清语境:既然在这里玩危险,那么就找个安全的地方。此题应选B。
5. 排除法
根据题干提供的信息,先把一眼就看出的干扰项排除,缩小选择范围,然后将剩余的选项填入空白处进行检验,辨别真伪,例如:
The girl asked the teacher .
A. what does the museum looks like B. what did the museum look like
C. what the museum looks like D. what the museum looked like
本题主要考查宾语从句中的语序及时态的对应关系。主句动词是过去时,从句的谓语动词也应是过去时的某种时态,故A、C被排除。而B中有词序错误,所以D为正确答案。
6. 交际法
此方法可用30个交际用语,联系上下文直接解题,例如:
--- Would you like to have another cup of tea?
--- .
A. Yes, I do B. Not al all C. No, thanks D. Help yourself
本题主要考查简答交际用语的应答。对别人的邀请,如果表示不接受时,应委婉说出,不能断然拒绝。因此,选C是最佳答案。
以上六种方法,大家要在具备扎实的基础知识条件下,灵活运用。同时,我们还要提醒大家注意以下几点:
(1)不要受母语思维习惯的影响。学习外语常常会受母语习惯的影响。因此解题时也常会受母语思维模式的影响,例如:
--- is the capital of America?
--- Washington.
A. Where B. What C. In where D. In which
汉语中常可这样发问"美国的首都是哪儿?"所以有人会选A,但英语中where是副词,表示地点。本句是问美国首都是哪个城市,所以正确的选择是B。再如:
it's difficult to learn English well, you should never drop it.
A. Though; but B. Though; ×
C. Because; so D. Because; ×
