难点28 语篇情景考虑要周全

●案例探究

(29) A. fail B. work C. change D. develop

解析：此段几个空项都要从语篇考虑。这篇文章的主旨大意是讲人们遇到问题，经常不思考而接受别人的意见或思想，一旦失败，才会自己去分析，应怎样分析问题、解决问题。
第27题选B。此题为五星级题。上文的信息告诉我们，人们经常不假思索的接受一些人的意见或思想，without为介词，without thinking译为“不假思索地”。
第28题选D。此题为四星级题。通过上下句可知，这两句为转折关系，且语篇中用逗号隔开，选However。
第29题选A。此题为四星级题。表示上述分析问题的方式“不灵了”，为fail。
第30题选C。此题为四星级题。从下文可知，一般分析问题的方法不灵时，人们开始分六个阶段来分析问题，stage为“阶段”。
2.People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington college of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the 26 and have ade up their minds to 27 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run 28 through the narrow High…street…I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
(26) A. college B. village C. town D. church
(27) A. change B. repair C. ring D. shake
(28) A. now and then B. day and night
C. up and down D. in day and night
解析：第26、27、28三题都必须从语篇考虑。三道题均为五星级题。第26题答案是D。the bell tower of the church “教堂的钟塔”，从最后一句得知答案；第27题选C，从上下文得知这些学生是以“钟声”天天敲响，日日夜夜两个星期，制造噪声作为抗议，从文中的protest得知，所以敲响钟为ring the bells，让钟日日夜夜响两个星期，为day and night。28题选B。
3.Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis. But the only things people have ever found were 3 foot prints. (NMET2001)
(3) A. clearer B. more C. possible D. rare
解析：选B。此题为五星级题。做此题不能孤立地去分析，而应联系前一句去理解，由前句的“Further”一词可知，此处应用比较级more。“付出更大的努力去找Yetis，但是人们找到的惟一踪迹只是更多的脚印。”若不联系上下文，此题极易误选possible。
4.The Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville, Tennessee, has always been American’s most important concert hall for country music. Every Saturday night the place is filled to the ceiling with country music 36 .One 37 in January 1967, was a very 38 night at the Opry. For the first time,
a 39 man was an attraction 40 music had always been thought of as “ white music ”.
(36) A. people B. sound C. fans D. songs
(37) A. Saturday B. day C. time D. concert
(38) A. cold B. special C. dark D. successful
(39) A. young B. famous C. strong D. black
(40) A. classic B. country C. popular D. light
解析：36~40题均为五星级题。第36题为C.从上句知道美国最重要的乡村音乐大厅是the Grand Ole Opry，里面全是乡村音乐迷“fans”，又如：football fans；第37题选A. 此题也是从上文信息获得答案，上句是“every Saturday right the place is filled to…”所以是“one Saturday in January 1967”，那么这个夜晚对于一个黑人青年歌手，对于the Grand Ole Opry来说，是个“special”night，38题选B。第39题是a black man，从下文信息获知，“country music”一直是“white music”，这一夜晚之特殊，给人以attraction，都是因为这个著名的音乐大厅里有一个黑人歌手，所以39选D；从全文及上下文看，这个歌手是唱的“country music”，所以40选B。
