One Good Reason to Let Smallpox Live

“答案解析” 解题技巧说明:
在解答阅读判断题,阅读理解题,以及完成句子题时都可以考虑采用“核心词/特征词定位”的方法。“核心词”是指在出现在要求考生做出判断的句子中的主句和从句中的主语和谓语部分的词语/结构(如果有宾语也可考虑宾语部分的词语/结构)。选取这些词语/结构的时候要考虑是否这些将被选择作为答案线索的词语和结构是标志“新信息”的内容,如果是,则可以选取;否者就考虑句子中其他结构中标志“新信息”的词语/结构。(注:“新信息”是在前面问题的内容中没有出现过的信息)如:
问题前句:
1. Compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
新信息:
2. Adults knowledge and mental powers hinder their complete mastery of a foreign language.
新信息在选取直接作为线索词/结构的内容时还要注意“标志原则”,比如在选定的“新信息内容”中“Adults knowledge and mental powers(成年人的知识和智力水平)”由于该结构词义的特点是很可能在文章中直接出现的结构,所以考虑采用“Adults knowledge and mental powers”作为直接答案线索。
“特征词” 指在出现要求考生做出判断的句子中表示“时间,人名,地名, 组织机构名”等,如果在文章中出现往往很容易被发现的词语/结构,因为这些结构总是以特殊的形式出现在文章中:“时间”— 往往是以阿拉伯数字的形式出现:“人名,地名, 组织机构名”— 往往是以单词的首字母大写的形式出现。
