很多考生在準備新加坡SM1項目英語考試時完形填空往往是失分的部分,一是完形填空比較國內的中考和高考的詞彙要難,而是對題型的不熟悉,解題策略找不到。今天獅才小才子就為想參加新加坡SM1項目考試的考生剖析下完形填空的解題策略。
我們一起來看看下面是SM1 英語考試節選(選詞填空完形):
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.
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
獅才小才子點題: 對於這種完形填空,首先要確定選項的詞性,尤其是對不認識單詞的詞性判定,比如選型J是Monetary 這個單詞,我們要聯想到money 這個單詞變過來的,然後ary或ry 一般是形容詞的結尾,這樣就可以判定這個單詞是形容詞詞性。 我們來對應文章第4題,需要填一個形容詞,那麼monetary就是備選項了,monetary rewards 剛好是金錢上的獎勵的詞組搭配,聯繫上文一直在講cold cash 說的就是金錢或者貨幣,此處就選monetary就對了。
我們再來看看第1個題的詞性判定為何動詞原形,因為can 是情態動詞後面接動詞原形, 我們就可以鎖定答案被選為 B, C, D, E, L, N。 然後可以排除呢? 文章開頭總說了2種對立的觀點,後面是分說。我們定位到前面是( )performance;後面是destroy creativity ;由於是2種對立的觀點,那麼肯定這個空是和destroy creativity 對立的或是相反的意思,那很明顯這個及物動詞就是L 選項improve (提高)表現。 最後記住一定要分清及物動詞和不及物動詞的區別,及物動詞是可以直接接賓語。
今天小才子就給廣大考生講到這了,如果考生或家長有什麼問題,歡迎留言或諮詢。
