結合句子理解題的解題方法:

解題思路

(1)閱讀題幹,確定關鍵詞

關鍵詞:“Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet”

(2)定位到段(文章第一段)

When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn’t cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I’m a good economic indicator,” she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when they’re concerned about saving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard’s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too.” she says.

(3)定位到句,同義替換,得出答案。

結合句子理解題的解題方法:

①:先翻譯題中句子的字面意思:Ellen Spero不咬指甲

②:定位到文中:

When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet.

當討論到經濟發展速度開始減慢時,艾琳·斯派羅還不至於咬手指

③:聯絡段落或者文章的主旨:

段落的話要注意段首和段尾:

由於這句話在段首,我們只能往它後面的句子中開始理解。比如第二句話:But the 47-year-old manicurist isn’t cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either.重點關注But,這是一個轉折,說明前後意思不一致,然後看下這句話的意思:但是,這位四十七歲的指甲修飾師修剪、銼磨、上油的指甲數量卻難遂其願了。可能無法翻譯的如此完美,那你應該可以看出來 isn’t as many as(不如...多),either這些否定詞,說明前面很有可能就是肯定的語氣。

我們再來看一下四個選項:

[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business

Spero幾乎無法維持生意

【分析】由前面的`解釋可知其與原文恰恰相反。Spero應該是還可以維持才對。只是後面生意不是想象中那麼好。

[B] Spero is too much engaged in her work

Spero太忙碌於其工作

【分析】純粹的主觀臆斷,太忙了所以不至於有時間去啃指甲嗎??難道你不忙就可以啃了嗎?【黑人問號臉】

[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit

Spero已經擺脫了壞習慣

【分析】字面上意思來看啃指甲確實是個壞習慣,但是出題人會跟你講這種個人習慣講半天還出題的嗎?以我們做題的經驗來看肯定是英文中的什麼比喻暗喻習語這些高大上的東西。(在這裡是暗喻)

[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation

Spero尚未陷入絕境

【分析】不至於咬指甲就是情況還可以維持,加上後面句子的含義,但是遠遠不如想象中那麼好了。邏輯是不是很通順啦?那就是它了!

這邊正確答案是D。

句子理解題

1、標誌:在題幹中明確指出原文中的某句話,要求理解其意思。

2、關鍵:對原句進行語法和詞義的精確分析(找主幹),應該重點抓原句的字面含義。若該句的字面含義不能確定,則依據上下文進行判斷。注意:區域性含義是由整體決定的。

3、句子理解題的錯誤選項干擾項特徵:推得過遠。做題時應把握住推的度。

4、思路: 對句子微觀分析;不行就依據上下文;選擇時不要推得過遠。
