一、試題特點(diǎn)
1. 通常出現(xiàn)在說(shuō)明文、記敘文或人物傳記類的文章或段落的理解題中;
2. 多根據(jù)事實(shí)發(fā)生的時(shí)間先后排序,有時(shí)也按操作程序排序或重要性排序;
3. 屬于事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題,只需淺層理解,難度較小,一般從閱讀材料中可以直接找到答案,
但是這種題容易錯(cuò),比較耗時(shí)間;
4. 題干中含有原文單詞、詞組、句型的轉(zhuǎn)述,再以a, b, c, d, e, f 等給事件標(biāo)上序號(hào)。
二、技巧點(diǎn)撥
1. 細(xì)讀題干,同時(shí)要注意題干中的句子往往與原文中的語(yǔ)句并非一模一樣,而是用不同的詞語(yǔ)或句型結(jié)構(gòu)表達(dá)相同的意思;
2. 通過尋讀,在文中尋找與a—f對(duì)應(yīng)的信息,并將a—f標(biāo)注到原文相應(yīng)位置,可使順序一目了然,也減少閱讀量;
3. 注意年代數(shù)詞和表示時(shí)間先后關(guān)系的詞,如then,after,shortly after,afterwards,after that,before that,in the same year,later,and,next,at last,finally,so等;
4. 根據(jù)“首事件”和“尾事件”,利用“排除法”,迅速縮小范圍;
5. 這種題型要求考生要有足夠的信心和細(xì)心,因此,心理上要鎮(zhèn)定,找到細(xì)節(jié)后,速度要稍放慢下來(lái),進(jìn)行比較,確定答案。
三、實(shí)例分析
Thomas worked,first as a waiter,in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought if I owned a restaurant.” he said,“I could eat for free.” A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.
In 1969,after breaking with Sanders,Thomas started the first wendy′s Old Fashioned Hamburgers,in Columbus,Ohio,which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants world-wide,the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales.
Although troubled by his own experience with adoption. Thomas,married since 1954 to Lorraine,66,and with four grown kids besides Wendy,felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation(基金會(huì))for adoption in 1992.
In 1993,Thomas, who had left school at 15,graduated from Coconut Creek high school in Florid… He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.
73. Choose the right time order of the following events in Thomas’s life.
a. graduated from high school
b. started his own business
c. became a millionaire
d. started a foundation
e. met Harland Sanders
A. e,d,c,b, aB. a,e,c,b,dC. e,c,b,d,aD. a,e,b, c,d
解析:這是一篇人物介紹。解答時(shí),快速尋讀,找關(guān)鍵信息,給a—e定位:a 在第4段,b在第2段,c在第1段,d在第3段,e在第1段。找相關(guān)信息時(shí),注意題干與原文的表述不一定完全相同,如started his own business 就是原文中Thomas started the first Wend’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers的另一種表達(dá)方式。通過第4段可以判斷尾事件是a (學(xué)校畢業(yè)了), 這樣就排除了B,D選項(xiàng)。再看c、d之間的時(shí)間先后,c(成為富翁) 之后d(成立基金會(huì)),故正確答案C。
