According to the passage, devolution was mainly meant to______.
maintain the present status among the natio n s.
reduce legislative powers of England.
create a better state of equality among the natio n s.
grand more say to all the natio n s in the union.
根據該詞所在的句子:The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of natio n s making up the United Kingdom. 這裏的意思是,權 力 下放是爲了使 英 國 的各個地區之間能夠重建平衡,所以應該選C選項。再比如2007年TEXTC的第三個小題。
Richard' s behavior as death approached showed______.
According to Dyfan Jones, what has changed is______.
people's mentality
pop culture
town's appearance
possibilities for the people
我們可以通過文章最後壹段的內容:…is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. "We used to think: We can't do anything, we're only Welsh. Now I think that's changing. " 推導出來 威 爾 士 人 心 態的變化。所以A應該是正確選項。
再比如,2007年的TEXTC的第三篇文章的第四個小題:
The point of the last short paragraph is that Richard was_____.
此種題型用于測試考生對具體詞義或指代關系的識別能力。其題幹類型經常爲:“The word ‘attribute’ in line means…”/ “What does the underlined phrase in line 38 refer to… ” 我們以2007年真題第壹篇文章的第二個小題爲例:
The word "centrifugal" in the second paragraph means______.
separatist
conventional
feudal
political
該詞所在的句子是:…to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union. 從中我們可以看出,"centrifugal"與"union"相對。所以A爲正確選項。
5、評價題
此題型用于測試考生對文章風格、寫 作 手 法 等的分析能力。題幹經常爲:“What kind of writing technique does the writer use in the passage to…”/ “What are the ways the writer uses to create the gloomy impression in the passage?”
以2007年TEXT B 爲例,該篇文章的第三個小題:
What is the role of the 4th and 5th paragraphs in the development of the topic?
