论文部分内容阅读
说明文是一种解说事物、阐明事理的一种文章体裁。其目的在于给人以科学的知识和科学的认识事物的方法。它通过一定的表述来说明事物特征、本质及其规律性。说明文一般通过介绍事物的形状、构造、类别、关系、功能,解释事物的原理、含义、特点、演变等。说明文实用性和用途很广,它常包括广告、说明书、提要、提示、规则、章程、解说词、科学小品等。
说明文的基本特点是文章的解说性,即无论是对实体事物的说明,还是对抽象事理的说明,都为层层解说,步步深入、使读者得到一个清晰的认识。为此。我们可以通过说明文的篇章结构,作为解题的突破口。
一、 仔细阅读首句 准确把握主题
说明文,往往一开始便直接点题,阐述本文将要说明的事或物。而完形填空的短文,为了便于读者了解本文的将叙述的内容。首句是不设空的。这一点,正可作为我们解题的突破口,故要认真阅读短文的首句,正确把握主题信息。

【文章大意】 该文介绍电视电话购物的这一新的购物方法。过去通常购物需到商店去的,而在信息时代,不离开家就可以购物了。通过消费者、商家以及专家对电视电话购物方式的态度和观点,使读者对电视电话购物这一新兴事物有了更深刻的了解。

【简析】文章结构简洁,在第一句话以问句的形式(疑问句更能引起读者的好奇心和关注)提出了问题,即本文将要表述的内容。Have you ever had to decide whether to go shopping or stay home and watch TV on a weekend? 直截了当提出购物的两种方式 “…or…?”
36. D 首句中的ever与本句的now的对比也可以看出选D,can表示能力或可能。
37. B 电视购物是购物的一种“方式”,稍有常识便可知它而不是programme、reason,也不是purpose。
38. A 副词ever用于条件句和否定句(此处的without表示否定),意思是“任何时候, 无论何时”,用来加强语气,可以看出这种购物方式过去是不敢想的事情,但如今却成了现实。

【文章大意】 世界上可用水(usablewater)的水量是人们极为关注的问题,由于可用水越来越少,人们在不断地想办法以求找到更多的可用水的水源。这篇文章会告诉你可用水的最大的来源会在哪里。
The amount of usable water has always been of great interest in the world. 36 springs and streams sometimes means control, particularly in the 37 areas like the desert. The control is possible even without possession of large areas of 38 land. In the early days of the American West, gun fights were not 39 for the water resources (资源). And laws had to be 40 to protect the water rights of the 41 and the use of the water resources accordingly.

【简析】 短文的第一句简明扼要,直接提出usable water这是世 人一直关注的事情。
36. C use用,利用; find找到,发现;hold把握, 支持,表示对某物 的占有在手;own拥有,持有,指某物已成为自己的。
37. A 基本常识运用。在象沙漠一样的干燥的(dry)地区,更要控制而珍惜水,这与沙漠的干燥无水相关而与遥远(distant),荒芜(deserted)和野性(wild)无关。
38. C 基本常识运用。即使在没有大面积的耕作的(farming)农田需要灌溉的地方,也需要控制珍惜水。耕地农田需要水,水与农田肥沃密切相关。
39. D 在美国人开发西部的那个时候,为争夺水资源而进行枪战的情况并非不是很常见的(uncommon)。双重否定,实为肯定(是常见的.)unlawful 非法的;unacceptable 无法接受的;unpopular 不流行的;uncommon 罕有的,难得的。
40. A 人们不是写(write),设计(uncommon),签署(sign)法律,而是不得不制定(make)法律来保护用水的权力。
41. B 需用水的自然是定居者,移民,开拓者(settlers)的权力,而非他人如获胜者,战士或支持者的权力。
二、 把握解说线脉 运用基本常识
说明文的叙说事理,其写作特点为语言简练,易懂,层层解说,步步深入;同时它还更多地要利用人们已有的基本常识来阐述,为此,我们解题时 要学会“抽丝剥茧”步步深入,运用自己的已有基本常识来理解和解题。

【简析】 短文的第一段说明水量的不足需适时适量用水,第二段说明人们为扩大水源而想尽办法。
1. D 句法结构 As is known to us all…就像我们都知道的一样,as引导方式状语从句;如用what则应为What is known to us all is that…,what引导名词性从句;如用that和it,则应为It is known to us all that…,it作形式主语,that引导从句作实际主语。
2. B 基本常识运用。事实上,在所有的地方,都没有水多到足(enough)以让每个人为所欲为地使用。词义辨析plentiful和much均可以表示“许多的, 大量的”的意思,但没有限定标准;enough足够的,充足的,只够做……的;any不符合常识。
3. C 本文所述的都是水量。句首的The amount of usable water 已有所暗示。词义辨析:type类型,种类;样式;quality质量,品质,性质;amount数额,数量;level水准,标准。
4. B 词义比较。要决定某一特定时期水的使用量就需要(require)细致的计划。request 请求,邀请;require需要,要求;means意味着,想要;suggest建议,暗示。
5. A 基本常识运用及词义比较。因为全文讲述水量的问题,人们要更加有效地(effectively)使用水而非容易地(easily),方便地(conveniently),或积极地(actively)使用。
6. D 基本常识运用。农民必须根据(according to)水供应预报来改变他们对水的使用方式和对水的需求。leading to通向,导致;due to由于,应归于;owing to因为,由于;according to依照,根据。
妒忌者对别人是烦恼,对他们自己却是折磨。(佩恩)
7. A 基本常识运用。水供应预报应该是准确无误的(correct)而不应该是早期的(early),一般的(average)的情况,也无所谓更进一步(further)。
8. D 基本常识运用。准确的水供应预报的依据不是来自于地下的水的情况,而更多的是来自于由空气(air),云朵(clouds),天空(sky)等造成的情况。
9. B 词义辨析。人们对利用人造方法增加降雨的方式表现出越来越多、日益高涨(rise)的兴趣。raise提高,使上升,及物动词,后需跟宾语;build建筑,营造(物);last持久,永久,不及物动词;rise上升,上涨,增加,不及物动词。
10. C 基本常识运用。冬天的积雪应该主要是在山顶(top)上,而不仅仅在岩石(rock),树木(tree)和山尖(tip)上。rock岩石;tree 树木;tip顶, 尖端,末端;top顶部,上部。
11. B 逻辑推理。科学家正在研究如何利用(make use of)在山顶上积雪的方法。
12. D 基本常识运用及固定搭配。他们利用转发站,把搜集到的(gathered)数据转发到基地本部。
13. C 基本常识运用。本部的工作人员只需按一下按钮就可以得到数据。Button是需按按钮的。
14. C 句尾的in the near future暗示“在不远的将来”,水供应的预报和水的使用将(will)很可能依赖的是人们对高山积雪的认识,而不是对地下水的了解。

【简析】 短文的第一段说明水量的不足需适时适量用水,第二段说明人们为扩大水源而想尽办法。
1. D 句法结构 As is known to us all…就像我们都知道的一样,as引导方式状语从句;如用what则应为What is known to us all is that…,what引导名词性从句;如用that和it,则应为It is known to us all that…,it作形式主语,that引导从句作实际主语。
2. B 基本常识运用。事实上,在所有的地方,都没有水多到足(enough)以让每个人为所欲为地使用。词义辨析plentiful和much均可以表示“许多的, 大量的”的意思,但没有限定标准;enough足够的,充足的,只够做……的;any不符合常识。
3. C 本文所述的都是水量。句首的The amount of usable water 已有所暗示。词义辨析:type类型,种类;样式;quality质量,品质,性质;amount数额,数量;level水准,标准。
4. B 词义比较。要决定某一特定时期水的使用量就需要(require)细致的计划。request 请求,邀请;require需要,要求;means意味着,想要;suggest建议,暗示。
5. A 基本常识运用及词义比较。因为全文讲述水量的问题,人们要更加有效地(effectively)使用水而非容易地(easily),方便地(conveniently),或积极地(actively)使用。
6. D 基本常识运用。农民必须根据(according to)水供应预报来改变他们对水的使用方式和对水的需求。leading to通向,导致;due to由于,应归于;owing to因为,由于;according to依照,根据。
妒忌者对别人是烦恼,对他们自己却是折磨。(佩恩)
7. A 基本常识运用。水供应预报应该是准确无误的(correct)而不应该是早期的(early),一般的(average)的情况,也无所谓更进一步(further)。
8. D 基本常识运用。准确的水供应预报的依据不是来自于地下的水的情况,而更多的是来自于由空气(air),云朵(clouds),天空(sky)等造成的情况。
9. B 词义辨析。人们对利用人造方法增加降雨的方式表现出越来越多、日益高涨(rise)的兴趣。raise提高,使上升,及物动词,后需跟宾语;build建筑,营造(物);last持久,永久,不及物动词;rise上升,上涨,增加,不及物动词。
10. C 基本常识运用。冬天的积雪应该主要是在山顶(top)上,而不仅仅在岩石(rock),树木(tree)和山尖(tip)上。rock岩石;tree 树木;tip顶, 尖端,末端;top顶部,上部。
11. B 逻辑推理。科学家正在研究如何利用(make use of)在山顶上积雪的方法。
12. D 基本常识运用及固定搭配。他们利用转发站,把搜集到的(gathered)数据转发到基地本部。
13. C 基本常识运用。本部的工作人员只需按一下按钮就可以得到数据。Button是需按按钮的。
14. C 句尾的in the near future暗示“在不远的将来”,水供应的预报和水的使用将(will)很可能依赖的是人们对高山积雪的认识,而不是对地下水的了解。
