21、选项和原文的关键词。在了解了文章大概方向和选项的关键词之后,就要将空格的前后句中的提示线索,即关键词圈出来。方便找到文章和选项的匹配点。1. 名词是句子主要说明的内容,是不会发生改变的,所以原文出现的关键词一定是会在选项当中出现的,这种出现有两种情况: (1)原词;(2)替换词,即代词的指代,比如: _. This kind由于空格的后一句中有一个“this kind”,所以空格处必然会出现kind的提示,接下来只要在选项当中挑出带有这个名词的选项进行匹配就可以了。在名词的替换词当中,要务必注意空格前后以及选项当中出现的“the”。形容词和副词在考查过程中基本不会出现原词的情况,这样就失去了出

22、题的意义,但选项当中一定会出现和原文感情色彩一致、同类的形容词和副词。2. 代词或定冠词,尤其注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词,因为我们知道,代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的,然后通过代词在句子中所作的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型,从选项中找这类句型。3. 特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词,一定要把这句话仔细读几遍,因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的,比如对why的回答,后面要有because等表原因的词,对when的回答,后面要有表时间的状语,对where的回答,后面要有表地点的名词,对how的回答,后面要有方式状语等。 4. 连词。一些表示转折的连词,如but

23、, however, yet, though, nevertheless等,另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词,如and, also, as well as, neither. . . nor, either. . . or, not only. . . but also, on the one hand. . . on the other hand 等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系,通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系,从而选择最佳选项。阅读理解All over the world, children in hospital are being treated with
