4、轉(zhuǎn)折處與強(qiáng)對(duì)比處常考
一般而言,轉(zhuǎn)折后的內(nèi)容常常是語義的重點(diǎn),命題者常對(duì)轉(zhuǎn)折處的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行提問。轉(zhuǎn)折一般通過however,
but, yet, in fact等詞或短語來引導(dǎo)。強(qiáng)對(duì)比常由unlike, until, not
so much…as等詞或短語引導(dǎo)。命題者常對(duì)用來對(duì)比的雙方屬性進(jìn)行考查。
此類考點(diǎn)常出現(xiàn)在邏輯推理型題中,少數(shù)出現(xiàn)于其它題型中。
例1. Some observers say the fault is with the
young people…. But that s a condemnation of the
students as a whole…. Others blame the state of
the world…But disappointed graduates are learning
that it can no longer absorb an army of trained
twenty-two-year-olds, either.(見《分冊(cè)》P148頁例4).
Q:According to the passage the problems of
college education partly arise from the fact that
_______ .
(A) society cannot provide enough jobs for
properly trained college graduates.
(B) High school graduates do not fit the
pattern of college education.
(C) Too many students have to earn their own
living.
(D) College administrators encourage students
to drop out.
(分析:選A項(xiàng)?忌喿x文章時(shí),應(yīng)注意到文中有兩個(gè)"but"的轉(zhuǎn)折,特別是段末一轉(zhuǎn)折句意即:但失望的畢業(yè)生了解到社會(huì)再也不能吸收大量的23歲的訓(xùn)練有素的大學(xué)生。這一轉(zhuǎn)折后的內(nèi)容正好是解答題干問題的依據(jù),我們從這句話可以推斷出大學(xué)考試之所以出了問題部分源于一個(gè)事實(shí),即A項(xiàng):社會(huì)不能為訓(xùn)練有素的大學(xué)生提供足夠工作。此屬邏輯推理題。)
例2…Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave
the country, commits suicide, or go to jail,
computer criminals sometimes escape punishment,
demanding….(見《分冊(cè)》P161頁例2)
Q:It can be conduced from the passage that
________
.(分析:這道題屬邏輯推理題,命題者利用unlike進(jìn)行強(qiáng)烈對(duì)比,要求考生推斷出正確結(jié)論。具體分析見《分冊(cè)》P165頁例2答案。)
例3 Beauty has always been regard as something
praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive
more respectable occupations. Personal consultants
give them better advice for finding jobs. Even
judges are softer on attentive defendants(被告)。But

(A) discuss the negative aspects of being
attractive.
(B) Give advice to job-seekers who are
attractive.
(C) Demand equal rights for women.
(D) Emphasize the importance of appearance.
(分析:選A項(xiàng)。屬主旨大意類題型。前面都是講美給人帶來的種種好處,用but突然進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)折,考生即可推測(cè)出下面要講美給人帶來的不利方面了。)
例4. The sensation of sound involves a verity of
factors in addition to its peak level.…In regular
programming the intensity of sound varies over a
large rage. However, sound levels in commercials
tend to stay at or near peak level.
Q: Commercials create the sensate at the
highest sound level.
(A)TV stations always operate at the highest
sound level.
(B)Their sound levels are kept around peak
level.
(C)Their sound levels are kept in the middle
frequency rarges.
(D)Unlike regular programs their intensity of
sound varies over a wide range.
(分析:選B項(xiàng),該題屬闡述說明主旨大意的事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。用however作轉(zhuǎn)折,指出商業(yè)節(jié)目的音量是保持或接近峰值(peak
levels)。命題者給出的B答案中,只是對(duì)however后原句進(jìn)行了詞語和句型的轉(zhuǎn)換,詳析見《分冊(cè)》P16頁例8答案。)
