鉴于该项目的不确定性和不可预测性，在该项目上无需投入过长的时间和过多的精力，并且鉴于该部分提供了三种备选题型，复习中也难于有的放矢。从2005，2006两年真题来看，试题仍选择的是7选5。因此基于历年真题，对应对新题型的思路和技巧做一下分析，希望能对大家备考2007年考研英语起到抛砖引玉的效用，不足之处，还望见谅。
大纲要求：主要考查考生对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征以及文章结构的理解。从大纲要求来看，介绍非常简略，因此可以认为选择搭配题是对考生阅读能力考查的一种补充，旨在从语篇衔接角度考查考生衔接文章的能力(题型1、2)，或是从语篇理解角度考查考生概括段落大意或是理解段落内容的能力(题型3)。
应试分析：解决选择搭配题，技巧可长篇大论，也可言简意赅。与其我们追求纷繁的技巧，不如静心分析一下究竟该题型侧重考查的方面。基于对语段特征和文章结构的理解的题型，不要求我们像在其他项目中对词汇语法等细节处进行分析，而在于如何迅速而准确地把握语段的主体概念。因此，选择搭配题的解题中心思路就在于明确文中语段和选项语段的主体概念，继而通过寻找文中语段和选项语段主体概念的搭配，从备选项中筛选可能选项，进一步排除从而得出正确答案。
另一方面，和确定主体概念具有等同效果的是确定特殊细节，诸如时间、人名、专有名词等，也可以确定选项出现的可能位置和顺序。
操作步骤：
下面以2006年真题为例，说明以上内容在具体应试过程中的操作。
On the north bank of the Ohio River sits Evansville, Ind., home of David Williams, 52, and of a riverboat casino where gambling games are played. During several years of gambling in that casino, Williams, a state auditor earning $35,000 a year, lost approximately $175,000. He had never gambled before the casino sent him a coupon for $20 worth of gambling.
He visited the casino, lost the $20 and left. On his second visit he lost $800. The casino issued to him, as a good customer, a Fun Card, which when used in the casino earns points for meals and drinks, and enables the casino to track the user's gambling activities. For Williams, these activities become what he calls “electronic heroin”.
(41)______________. In 1997 he lost $21,000 to one slot machine in two days. In March 1997 he lost $72,186. He sometimes played two slot machines at a time, all night, until the boat docked at 5 a.m., then went back aboard when the casino opened at 9 a.m. Now he is suing the casino, charging that it should have refused his patronage because it knew he was addicted. It did know he had a problem.
In March 1998, a friend of Williams's got him involuntarily confined to a treatment center for addictions, and wrote to inform the casino of Williams's gambling problem. The casino included a photo of Williams among those of banned gamblers, and wrote to him a “cease admissions” letter. Noting the “medical/psychological” nature of problem gambling behaviors, the letter said that before being readmitted to the casino he would have to present medical/psychological information demonstrating that patronizing the casino would pose no threat to his safety or well-being.
(42) ______________.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the casino has 24 signs warning: “Enjoy the fun ... and always bet with your head, not over it”. Every entrance ticket lists a toll-free number for counseling from the Indiana Department of Mental Health. Nevertheless, Williams's suit charges that the casino, knowing he was “helplessly addicted to gambling,” intentionally worked to “lure” him to “engage in conduct against his will.” Well. |
