A. 高二英語必修五JOHN SNOW DEFEATS"KING CHOLERA"閱讀翻譯

John snow defeats 「king cholera」

John snow was a famous doctor in london-so expert,indeed,that he attended queen victora as her personal physician.but he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera.this was the deadly disease of its day.neither its cause nor its cure was understood.so many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem .he knew that cholera would never be co ntrolled until its cause was found.

約翰 雪是倫敦的一位非常著名的醫生,確實,他作為維多利亞女王的私人醫生來照顧她,但是當他想到幫助暴露在霍亂王疾病下的普通人時,他變的很有靈感,在那時,這是一個致命 的疾病,不論他的感染方式還是治癒方法都無從知曉,所以每次爆發的時候都有數以千計的驚恐的人喪生.約翰 學想要面對這個挑戰並且解決這個問題,他知道霍亂的起源如果無法找到,他將無法控制.

He became insterested in two theories that poissibly explained how cholera killed people.the first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air.a cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victim.the second suggested that people absorbed these disease intotheir bodies with their meals.from the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person died.

他變的對可能解釋霍亂如何殺人的兩個學說感興趣起來,第一個說明霍亂在空氣中繁殖,一團危險的氣體漂浮著直到找到他的感染者,第二個表明人們在吃飯時把疾病吸收入身體,從胃裡,這病毒很快的攻擊身體並且很快導致感染者死亡.

John snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence.so when another outbreak hit london in 1854,he was ready to begin his enquire.as the disease quickly spread through poor neighbourhoods,he began to gather information.in two particular streets,the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days.he was determined to find out why.

約翰 雪懷疑第二個學說是正確的但他需要證據,所以當其他的霍亂在1854年的倫敦爆發時,他已經完成了他詢問的准備工作,當這個疾病很快傳播到窮鄰居時,他開始去收集信息,在兩個特別的街道,霍亂的爆發特別嚴重以致於有五百多人在十天內死亡,他下定了找出原因的決心.

First he marked on a map the exact places where all the died people had lived. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease.many of the deaths were near the water pump in broad street.he also noticed that some houses had had no death.he had not foreseen this ,so he made further investigations,he discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 cambridge street .they had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the punp.it seemed that the water was to blame.

首先他在地圖上標出了死去的人曾經居住過的確切地點,這給了他一個有價值的關於疾病起源的線索,在寬街上,多死去的人的居住地鄰近水泵.他也注意到了一些房子沒有人死去,他沒有對此深究,所以,他作了一個進一步的調查,他發現這些人們工作在劍橋七街的酒吧里,他們被給予了免費的啤酒所以不需要去喝水泵里的水,看起來,應該責備的是水.

Next,john snow look into the source of the water for these two streets.he found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from london.he immediately told the astonished people in broad street to remove the handle from the pump so that it could not be used.soon afterwords the disease slowed down.he had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas.

接下來,約翰 雪調查這兩條街的水的起源,他發現這水來自被倫敦來的污水污染過的河流,他立刻告訴寬街上驚恐的人們移開水泵的把手從而使他不能被使用,在這之後,很快這疾病就減緩了,他展示了霍亂是通過細菌來傳播而不是一團氣體.

In another part of london,he found supporting evidence from two other deaths that were linked to the broad street outbreak. A woman,whohad moved away from broad street,liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house everyday. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drinkingthe water.with this extra evidence john snow was able to announce with certainty that polluted water carried the virus.

在倫敦的其他部分,他發現其他兩個與寬街爆發有關的死亡病例來作為支持證據,一個從寬街搬走的女子,非常喜歡從那個水泵里打出的水,以致於每天她都讓那水送到她家供他飲用,在喝過水後,她和她的女兒都死去了,用這個額外的證據,約翰 雪有能力確定地宣布是被污染的水帶來了病毒.

To prevent this from happening again,john snow suggested that the source of all the water supplies be examined . the water companies were instructed not expose people to polluted water any more . finally 「king cholera」was defeated.

為了阻止霍亂的再次發生,約翰 雪建議所有的供水源頭都應該被檢查,賣水公司被命令不許再把人們暴露在污染的水之下,最終,」霍亂王」被擊敗了.

Saving the Antelopes

On a freezing cold day in January 1994, Jiesang Suonandajie found what he was looking for — a group of poachers who were killing the endangered Tibetan antelope. Jiesang knew he had to move quickly. He shouted to the poachers to put down their guns. Although surprised, the poachers had an advantage — there were more of them. In the battle which followed Jiesang was shot and killed. When his frozen body was found hours later, he was still holding his gun. He had given his life to save the Tibetan antelope.

At the beginning of the twentieth century there were millions of antelopes on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. By the 1990s the number had fallen to about 50,000. The reason is simple: the wool of the Tibetan antelope is the most expensive in the world. It is soft, light, and warm — the ideal coat for an animal which has to survive at high altitudes. A shawl made from the wool (known as "shahtoosh", or "king of wools" in Persian) can sell for five thousand dollars. For poachers the profits can be huge.

Often working at night, the poachers shoot whole herds of antelopes at a time, leaving only the babies, whose wool is not worth so much. The animals are skinned on the spot and the wool taken to India, where it is made into the shawls. From there, it is exported to rich countries in North America and Europe. The business is completely illegal — there has been a ban on the trade since 1975. But in the 1990s the shawls came into fashion among rich people. A police raid on a shop in London found 138 shawls. About 1,000 antelopes — or 2 percent of the world's population — had been killed to make them.

In the 1990s the Chinese government began to take an active part in protecting the antelopes in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve — the huge national park on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, which is the main habitat of the antelopes. Over the next ten years about 3,000 poachers were caught and 300 vehicles confiscated. Sometimes there were gunfights, like the one in which Jiesang Suonandajie was killed.

But today the government seems to be winning the battle. The number of poachers has fallen. The small group of officials who work in the reserve are helped by volunteers who come from all over the country, and who are ready for the difficult conditions of life at 5,000 metres. Meanwhile, in those countries where the shawls are sold, police are getting tough with the dealers. International co-operation seems to be working. Since 1997 the antelope population has slowly begun to grow again.

PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY

People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history.
First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.

To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different ecational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the instrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the instrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture.
The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national government and its administration. It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066. There has been four sets of invaders of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government. The third, the Vikings, influenced the vocabulary and place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castles and introced new words for food.
If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders. You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyable and worthwhile.

SIGHTSEEING IN LONDON

Worried about the time available, Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London. Her first delight was going to the Tower. It was built long ago by the Norman invaders of AD 1066. Fancy! This solid stone, square tower had remained standing for one thousand years.Although the buildings had expanded around it, it remained part of a royal palace and prison combined. To her great surprise, Zhang Pingyu found the Queen's jewels guarded by special royal soldiers who, on special occasions, still wore the four-hundred-year-old uniform of the time of Queen Elizabeth I.
There followed St Paul's Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. It looked splendid when first built! Westminster Abbey, too, was very interesting. It contained statues in memory of dead poets and writers, such as Shakespeare. Then just as she came out of the abbey, Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock, Big Ben, ringing out the hour. She finished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's house in London. Oh, she had so much to tell her friends!
The second day the girl visited Greenwich and saw its old ships and famous clock that sets the world time. What interested her most was the longitude line. It is an imaginary line dividing the eastern and western halves of the world and is very useful for navigation. It passes through Greenwich, so Pingyu had a photo taken standing on either side of the line.
The last day she visited Karl Marx's statue in Highgate Cemetery. It seemed strange that the man who had developed communism should have lived and died in London. Not only that, but he had worked in the famous reading room of the Library of the British Museum. Sadly the library had moved from its original place into another building and the old reading room was gone. But she was thrilled by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures displayed in the museum. When she saw many visitors enjoying looking at the beautiful old Chinese pots and other objects on show, she felt very proud of her country.
The next day Pingyu was leaving London for Windsor Castle. "Perhaps I will see the Queen?" she wondered as she fell asleep.

It doesn『t e as a surprise to you to realizethat it makes no difference what you read or study ifyou can『歷枝t remember it. You just waste your valuabletime. Maybe you have already discovered some cleverways to keep yourself from forgetting.

One dependable aid that does help youremember what you study is to have a specificpurpose or reason for reading. You remember better what you read when you know why you『rereading.

Why does a clerk in a store go away and leave you when your reply to her offer to help is―No, thank you. I『m just looking‖ ? Both you and she know that if you aren『t sure what youwant, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, ―Yes, thank you. I want a pairof sun glasses.‖ She says,‖ Right this way, please.‖ And you and she are off-both eager to lookfor exactly what you want.

It『s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book at random***隨意***, ―just look‖for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that-nothing. But if you do know what youwant, and if you have the right book, you are almost sure to get it. Your reasons will vary; theywill include reading or studying ―to find out more about‖, ―to understand the reason for‖, ―to find out how‖ .A good student has a clear purpose or reason for what he is doing.

This is the way it works. Before you start to study, you say to yourself some thing like this: ―I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America. I『m readingthis article to find out.‖ Or, ―I am going to go over this story to see what life was like inmedieval ***中世紀的***England.‖ Because you know what you are reading or studying, you relatethe information to your purpose and remember it better.

Reading is not one single activity. At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express yourown ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversationwith the author. If you express your ideas orally, they may sound like this:‖ Yes, I agree. That『 *** y opinion too.‖ or ―Ummmm, I thought that record was broken much earlier. I『d bettercheck those dates,‖ or ―But there are some other facts to be considered!‖ You don『t just sitthere taking in ideas-you do something else, and that something else is very important.

This extra process of thinking about what you read includes judging it, relating it to whatyou already know, and using it for your own purposes. In other words, a good reader is acritical reader. One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is to distinguish***辨認***between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence***證據***. Opinions are one『s ownpersonal reactions. Another part of critical reading is judging source***出處***. Still another part isdrawing accurate conclusions.

1.If you cannot remember what you read or study______.

A. it is no surprise

B. it means you have not really learned anything

C. it means you have not chosen the right book

D. you realize it is of no importance

2.Before you start reading, it is important______.

A. to make sure why you are reading

B. to relate the information to your purpose

C. to remember what you read

D. to choose an interesting book

3.Reading activity includes______.

A. only two reasons

B. mainly drawing exact conclusions

C. mainly learning about ideas and judging them critically

D. only distinguishing between facts and opinions

事實上，如果沒有時間來得及通讀或細讀，或者基礎不夠扎實即使讀也讀不懂，建議通過以下技巧，也基本上可以得滿分。

3. 看看結構變橡毀晌輕松

在解題過程中，除了每做一道有把握的題後就在7個選項中將其畫掉縮小范圍外，通過觀察語言結構也可將選擇范圍大大縮小，心情變得更加輕松，一般可將7個選項縮小到2～4個選項，碰對的機率大大提高。

(1)標題結構

如果考查段落標題，先看看其他標題的語言形式，同一文章中的幾個段落小標題基本上是同一語言形式。如梁鋒果其他標題是名詞短語，該題答案也是名詞短語；如果其他標題是祈使句，該題的答案也是祈使句。如：

1. The basic function of money.

Being explaining the basic function of money …

2. Money lessons.

Approach money lessons with openness…

3. 74

Begin at the grocery store. Pick out similar brands of a proct-a name brand butter and a generic(無商標產品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a proct so that you can save money. (2011新課標卷)

A. Wise decisions.

B. The value of money.

解析：本題要求選小標題。觀察其他標題，都是名詞短語，因此，本標題也應是名詞短語；七個選項中只有A、B兩個選項是名詞短語，這樣就可大大縮小選擇范圍；瀏覽兩個選項，再看空後文字，發現decisions與choices大意相同(近義詞)，故選A項。

(2)句子結構

如果正確選項只是某個句子的一個部分，就要看看空後這個部分是不是句子，如果是句子，看看是否有連詞，如果沒有連詞，要選的正確選項就應是短語或是帶有連詞的從句。如：

Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, graal increases in the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find. (2015新課標卷II)

A. After six days

B. For a good marathon runner

C. Before you begin your training

E. If they still feel good, you can begin running in them

解析：從句式結構上看，逗號後是祈使句，沒有連詞，正確答案要麼是帶有連詞的從句，要麼是一個短語，只有A、 B、 C、 E四個選項符合，這樣就縮小了選擇范圍；根據空前句中的preparation (准備)，和常識可知是「訓練前」，故選C項。

4. 詞語復現顯神功

作者或說話人在談論某個話題或主題時，與主題相關的詞語必定會以原詞、同義詞或近義詞等形式在上下文中重復出現，這種現象叫詞語復現。同一個詞的重復出現叫原詞復現；以同義詞的形式重復出現，叫同義復現；以近義詞或近義表達(意思相近，表達方式不同)的形式重復出現，叫近義復現；以詞義相同而詞性不同的形式重復出現，叫同根復現。還有上義詞與下義詞的復現(alt是teacher,parent的上義詞，而teacher,parent就是alt的下義詞)。

詞語復現是語篇銜接的一個重要手段，而七選五正是考查語篇銜接，因此，利用詞語復現解七選五十分管用。在近五年的8套全國新課標卷共40道題中有13道題利用這一招可直接選出答案，利用這一招可將選項縮小到2個選項的還有5道，也就是說，平均起來，幾乎有一半的題僅用這一招就可解決。如：

39 If you』ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there』s a difference between being a victim and living with a 「victim mentality」. (2015新課標卷I)

A. Learn to really trust yourself.

C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

D. Remember that you can expect the best inreturn.

解析：要求選段落主題句。空後句三次出現victim一詞, 七個選項中只有選項C中有victim，原詞復現。將選項C「不要把自己當作受害者」代入空格處，與下文銜接緊密，故選C項。本段結構：總(總領)—分(細說)。

值得注意的是，有的題利用詞語復現解題十分管用，但這並不意味著凡與上句或下句有復現詞的選項就一定是正確選項，只是正確的可能性更大，在解題過程中需重點考慮或優選考慮而已。是否為正確答案，還得將含復現詞的選項代入原文，看該選項與上下文是否真的銜接，只有上下銜接緊密的才是正確選項。如：

38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being. (2015新課標卷I)

A. Learn to really trust yourself.

B. It is putting confidence in someone.

C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

解析：要求選段落主題句。不要因為選項B與空後句中都有confidence，原詞復現就選B，也不要因為選項C中與空後句中都有yourself，原詞復現就選C。選項A中的trust yourself與空格後的Having confidence in yourself(信任你自己)是同義復現，所以該選項是重點考慮對象；將選項A代入原文，上下句意為「學會真正地信任你自己。信任你自己有助於做出更好的選擇……」語義銜接緊密，故選A。

5. 代詞邏輯亦管用

我們知道，七選五就是考查上下文之間的銜接，而代詞是語篇銜接的重要手段之一，故解題中要善於利用這一銜接手段。如：

Try to solve the problem. After you』re calmand you have support from alts and friends, it』s time to get down to business. 74 Even if you can』t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it. (2012新課標卷)

D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress isgone.

E. You need to figure out what the problemis.

F. And don』t forget about your friends.

解析：本段主題句是「Tryto solve the problem」，空後句又有solve it，其中it指什麼？當然是theproblem，因此，前句中一定會出現problem一詞，七個選項中只有E項符合。

根據空格句與上下句之間的邏輯關系來解題，如解釋關系(對前句或對主題的進一步解釋)、並列關系、轉折關系、因果關系、遞進關系等。如：

●Get a coach

51 , so get help. Since there are about abillion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that』s right for you. (2013新課標卷II)

C. Turn your back on too many rules

D. Check the rules about dos and don』ts

E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough

解析：由空後的so(因此，引出結果)可知，空處要填的應是「要得到幫助」的原因；選項E中public speaking is tough (當眾演講是困難的)正是尋求幫助的原因，故選E項。(因果邏輯關系)

6. 篇章需要基本功

有的題利用文章或段落的「總—分」結構關系來解，也很管用，但需要以下基本功：懂得整篇文章的基本結構或段落的語篇結構通常是主題句(總)+支撐句(分)(分述主題的具體內容/說明原因/舉例證明等)。如：

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don』t cook more often: ability, money, and time. 36 Money isa topic I』ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. (2014新課標卷II)

A. Try new things.

B. Ability is easily improved.

C. Make three or four instead.

解析：空前主題句中提到ability,money, time三個主要原因，空後提到了money與time, 所以這里應是談ability, 故選B項。

眾所周知，有問就有答，問什麼就答什麼。根據這一常識，對解題也很有幫助。如：

The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds. (2014新課標卷I)

C. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.

D. So how can we help our kids prepare forjobs that don』t yet exist?

G. Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.

解析：由空後By doingsth. (通過做某事)這個表示方式的介詞短語可知，此空應該是一個以how開頭的疑問句，故選D項。

此外，有時利用詞語同現也有助於選出正確選項。所謂詞語同現，就是有相互關聯的詞語在上下文中有同時出現的可能性。如school, teacher, student, headmaster, class, test, fall, pass,maths, learn等這些詞就有可能在同一篇文章中同時出現。如：

Your children need to be deeply curious. 37 Ask kids, 「What ingredients(配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?」(2014新課標卷I)

A. Encourage kids to cook with you.

B. And we can』t forget science ecation.

C. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.

解析：與空後句中的ingredients(配料)，pancakes(薄煎餅)可能同時出現的，只有選項A中的cook，故選A項(鼓勵孩子跟你一起烹飪)。

高考英語七選五閱讀解題的 十大技巧

技巧一：從細節邏輯上判斷---因果關系

在做題時最重要的是要讀懂空白前後的句子，明白這幾句話的確切意思，然後根據意思的連貫性或邏輯性從選項中選取正確答案。在讀懂意思的基礎上，判斷它們之間的關系來進一步確認答案。

因果關系主要指前後的句子有著原因和結果之間的關系，這種關系往往說明了前因後果或者前果後因等情況。表示因果關系的連詞有as a result結果，thus/therefore因此，so (such)...如此------以至於等。

技巧二：從細節邏輯上判斷---轉折關系

轉折關系主要指英語行文中後句對前句構成逆轉邏輯關系。如果空格前後兩句話之間是邏輯上的逆轉，則空格處很有可能是個轉折邏輯的句子。

表示轉折關系的連接詞有：However然而, nevertheless仍然，然而，不過, nonetheless盡管如此，依然，然而, still還；然而, though可是，不過，然而, yet然而, in spite of不顧，不管, at any rate無論如何，至少, in any case無論如何，不管怎樣, whoever無論是誰, whatever無論什麼，on the contrary正相反, in contrast與此相反, 相比之下, by contrast相反, 相比之下, in comparison比較起來，比較地, by comparison相比之下, conversely相反(地), otherwise否則；除此以外，not---but不是-----而是，as well也等。

技巧三：從細節邏輯上判斷---例證關系

前後句的某句是為了證明另一句而舉的例子。例證的形式多樣，但就其本質而言無非是思維上的形象（例子、類比等）和抽象（觀點）的辯證關系，用到的思維過程無非就是基本的歸納（從例子到觀點）和推理（從觀點到例子）。

技巧四：從細節邏輯上判斷---遞進關系

遞進關系主要指英語行文中後句對前句是一種順承邏輯關系。如果空格前後兩句話之間是邏輯上的層進關系，則空格處很有可能是個遞進的句子。

表示遞進關系的連詞有：also也, 而且, further另外(的)；, furthermore而且，此外, likewise同樣地，照樣地；也，又, similarly相似地，類似地, moreover而且再者，此外, in addition另外，加之, what』s more更重要的是, too也，還, either也, neither兩者都不, not only…but also不但…而且等。

技巧五：從細節邏輯上判斷---平列關系

表示列舉關系的有：first首先, 第一, second第二, third第三…; firstly第一, 首先, secondly第二(點)；其次, thirdly第三…; first第一, next其次, then那麼, 然後…; in the first place第一，首先, in the second place第二, 其次…; for one thing首先，一則, for another thing其次…; to begin with首先，第一, to conclude首先，第一等

技巧六：從詞彙線索上判斷---代詞

英語表達中的代詞出現的頻率極高，代詞的作用是指代前面提及的名詞或形容詞概念，巧妙利用這樣的指代關系和根據代詞的單復數差異可以准確而快速地解題。

技巧七：從詞彙線索上判斷---同義詞/近義詞

英語前言後語之間往往有同義詞、近義詞、近義表達語甚至相同詞彙的重復使用，這是我們解題的一個很好的判斷線索。其實就其本質而言，上文講的代詞和下文將涉及的上下義詞和同一范疇詞都是特殊的同義/近義詞。

技巧八：從詞彙線索上判斷---上下義詞/同一范疇詞

上下義詞和同一范疇詞就是前者包含了後者，或可以說後者是前者的一個子集。利用前後句中這樣的特殊的同義關系常常可以很輕松地解題。

技巧九：從試題位置上判斷---問題在段首

假如問題出現在段首，它通常是段落主題句。認真閱讀後文內容，根據段落一致性原則，查找同義詞或其他相關的詞，推斷出主題句。

另外著重閱讀後文第一兩句，鎖定線索信號詞，然後在選項中查找相關特徵詞。

通常正確答案的最後一句與空白後的第一句在意思上是緊密銜接的，因此這兩句間會有某種的銜接手段，尤其當選項是幾句話時。

技巧十：從試題位置上判斷---問題在段尾

所選答案是引出下一段的內容。如果在選項中找不出與前文之間的關聯，此時可考慮與下一段開頭是否有一定的銜接。認真閱讀下一段開頭幾句，看是否與選項的最後一句緊密連接起來。

分析與前文是轉折或是對比關系。此時要注意在選項中查找表示轉折、對比的關聯詞，同時注意選項中所講內容是否與前文在同一主題上形成對立、對比關系。

如果第一段的段尾是空白，要認真閱讀，看此處是細節還是主題。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主題，如果在段尾提出主題，會用一些信號詞如轉折詞引出來，正確答案中應有這樣的特徵詞。

段尾通常是結論、概括性語句。注意在選項中查找表示結果、結論、總結等的信號詞，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等詞語，選項中也可發現前文的同義詞句。

H. 高二英語必修五PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY閱讀翻譯

人們可能會奇怪為什麼用不同的詞語來描述英格蘭、威爾士、蘇格蘭和北愛爾蘭這四個國家.如果你研究英國的歷史,你就能夠弄明白這個問題.
首先是英格蘭.威爾士於公元13世紀就同英格蘭聯合起來了.如今只要有人提起英格蘭,你就會發現威爾士總是包括在內的.然後,於17世紀英格蘭、威爾士同蘇格蘭聯合起來,名字改為大不列顛.令人慶幸的是,當蘇格蘭的詹姆士國王成為英格蘭和威爾士的國王時,這三個國家在無（軍事）沖突的情況下實現了聯合.最後在20世紀初通過同樣的和平方式,英國政府盡力把愛爾蘭也納入進來,組成了聯合王國.然而,愛爾蘭的南部卻不情願這樣並分離出去建立了自己的政府.因此只有北愛爾蘭同英格蘭、威爾士、蘇格蘭聯合起來組成了聯合王國,這一點從新的聯合王國國旗（「聯合傑克」）上就可以看得出來.
值得稱贊的是：這四個國家在一些方面（比方說在貨幣和國際關繫上）,它們的確是共同合作的,但是有些制度仍然區別很大.例如,北愛爾蘭、英格蘭和蘇格蘭在教育體制和立法體制上都存在著差異,並且它們有著各自的足球隊參加像世界盃之類的比賽!
在這四個國家中,英格蘭是最大的.為了方便,它大致可以劃分為三個地區.最靠近法國的那個地區叫做英格蘭南部,中部地區叫英格蘭中部,最靠近蘇格蘭的那個地區叫英格蘭北部.你會發現大部分人口居住在南部,但是大部分工業城市在中部和北部.雖然就全國范圍來說,這些城市都不像中國的城市那樣大,但是它們都有著世界聞名的足球隊,有的城市甚至還有兩個隊!令人遺憾的是這些建於19世紀的工業城市並不能吸引遊客.要找歷史性的建築你得去羅馬人建造的更古老的但是比較小的城鎮.在那兒你能找到更多有關英國歷史和文化的東西.
