新托福阅读听课条记:指代题备考指南
一、题目形式
被考的文章中有一个词或词组被加亮,这个词每每是一个代词或名词。指代题的形式如下:
The word (or phrase) X in the passage refers to
二、解题步伐
1.根据解题本领确定谜底
2.代进原文验证,看语义、逻辑和语法上能否疏浚
三、基来源基础则
1.就近指代
所谓就近指代,便是被指代工具每每在指代词前不远处,如本句或上一句中。偶尔也出现在更背面的一句中。例如,
Large wind farms might also interfere with the flight patterns of migratory birds in certain areas, and they have killed large birds of prey (especially hawks, falcons, and eagles) that prefer to hunt along the same ridge lines that are ideal for wind turbines. The killing of birds of prey by wind turbines has pitted environmentalists who champion wildlife protection against environmentalists who promote renewable wind energy. Researchers are evaluating how serious this problem is and hope to find ways to eliminate or sharply reduce this problem.The phrase this problem in the passage refers tointerference with the flight patterns of migrating birds in certain areasbuilding ridge lines that are ideal for wind turbinesthe killing of birds of prey by wind turbinesmeeting the demands of environmentalists who promote renewable wind energy本题触及的是一个词组this problem。探求这一词组的指代工具时只需向上搜索就行。根据就近准绳,前一句中的主语the killing of birds of prey by wind turbines可以开端确定为谜底。将其代进原文,符合语义和逻辑,因此第三个选项为准确谜底。第一个选项和第三个选项都和this problem相距较远,并且代进时语义和逻辑上不通,因此为烦扰选项。
2.数格同等
被指代工具每每与指代词在数(如双数或双数)和格(主格或宾格)两方面相通。如双数代词one指代双数名词,双数代词they指代双数名词。
四、重要思绪
1.主从复合句中的指代
在主从复合句中,第二句的代词主语常常指代第一句的名词主语。例如,
The fins are stiff, smooth, and narrow, qualities that also help cut drag. When not in use, the fins are tucked into special grooves or depressions so that they lie flush with the body and do not break up its smooth contours.
The word they in the passage refers to
qualities
fins
grooves
depressions
在这一例子中,从句so that they…中的代词主语they指代主句的名词主语the fins,因此第二个选项为准确谜底。
如果主从复合句中一个句子(可所以主句,也可所以从句)利用主动语态,包括主动语态的句子中的主语常指代另一句中的宾语。例如,
Similarly, a plant or animal cannot squander all its energy on growing a big body if none would be left over for reproduction, for this is the surest way to extinction.
The word none in the passage refers to
food
plant or animal
energy
big body
在本例中,if指导的从句利用了主动语态,代词主语none指代背面主句中的宾语energy。因此,第三个选项为准确谜底。
2.并列动词中的指代
如果一个句中有两个并列的动词,第二个动词的代词宾语常常指代前一个动词后的名词宾语。例如,
Artists are recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces, and taking that into account when executing their public commissions.
The word“that” in line 27 refers to
(A)contemporary art
(B)opportunity
(C)audience
(D)distinction
句中有两个并列的动词recognizing和 taking (into account),其中recognizing的宾语是distinction,而taking的宾语是that。根据上述本领,that指代distinction。因此,(D)为准确谜底。
3.平行构造中的指代
平行构造重要包括some/most/many/such/each…, others…; not only…but also…; the former…the latter等。在这种构造中,平行构造两个部分的两个代词常常指代统一工具:前一句中的名词主语。例如,
In Southwest France in the 1940s, playing children discovered Lascaux Grotto, a series of narrow cave chambers that contain huge prehistoric paintings of animals. Many of these beasts are as large as 16 feet (almost 5 meters). Some follow each other in solemn parades, but others swirl about, sideways and upside down.
The word others in the passage refers to
chambers
paintings
beasts
parades
原文包括平行构造some…others,它们都指代前一句中的名词主语beasts,因此第三个选项为准确谜底。
4.全部格的指代
全部格代词常常指代其背面与其最靠近的名词。例如,
Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner.
The word“their” in line 1 refers to
(A)folk
(B)nations
(C)countries
(D)objects
根据全部格指代的解题本领,their指代背面地位近来的名词objects,因此(D)为准确谜底。
5.指代的接力棒现象
这一现象是指被考的代词对应背面一个相通的代词,尔背面的代词指代更前一句中的名词。例如,
While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location.
The word“they” in line 8 refers to
(A)North Americans
(B)news shows
(C)interviews
(D)opinions
在这一例子中,第二句中的代词they(reflect the opinions…)对应第一句中的they(are not…),而第一个they指代背面从句中的名词主语interviews,那么第二个they也指代interviews,因此(C)为准确谜底。
除了上述情况之外,其他指代,如定语从句中(of which…, in which…, from which…)的干系代词指代先行词,from there构造中的there指代背面最靠近的地点名词等,限于篇幅,不再胪陈。
