10、活条件得到好转的原因及表现。第二段通过对过去的回顾与对未来的展望,叙述了朝圣者怀有感恩的心态并与当地印第安人签署友好协定,为下文感恩节的形成做了铺垫。第三段说明了感恩节产生的直接原因:朝圣者想庆祝他们定居新家的第一年。二、试题具体分析1. A in their own styleB in their own way以特有的方式C on their own单独,独立地D of their own自己的,本人的本题考核的知识点是:句内语义+固定短语快速解题空格处填入的短语作状语,修饰worship God,说明朝圣者前往新大陆的原因。in ones own way是固定搭配,意为“以特有的方式”,
11、代入文中意为“以他们特有的方式敬仰上帝”,符合上下文逻辑关系,为正确答案。on their own与of their own不符合文意,style虽然可以表示“方式、方法”,但该含义不用于in ones own结构,应排除。篇章分析至句是第一段的第一个层次,揭示了五月花号前往新大陆的原因。句是一个复合句,主干为They were looking for a place,后接where引导的定语从句修饰place。空格设置in ones own way是固定短语,如:I expect she does love you in her own way.我想她的确是以她特有的方式爱你。干扰项设置其他
12、项利用常见的固定搭配设置干扰。例句:The accident happened through no fault of her own.这一事故的发生不是她本人的过错。He did it on his own.这件事他独立完成了。2. A course航向,航线B route路线,路途C passage通道,航程D channel渠道,海峡本题考核的知识点是:名词词义辨析快速解题空格处填入的名词作lost的宾语,因此此题关键是判断那个选项可与lost搭配且符合文意。四个选项构成的动宾搭配分别表示“迷失航向”、“迷失路线”、“迷失航程”和“迷失海峡”,显然不存在后两种搭配,首先排除C和D。由于文
13、中具体指出了是海上航行,因此排除常指“地面路线”的route,最佳答案为Acourse。篇章分析至句是第一段的第二个层次,分别介绍了朝圣者在航行中及登陆后遇到的困难。空格设置course除了考生熟悉的表示“课程”的含义外,还可意为“(船或飞机的)航向,航线“,如:The plane was on/off course.飞机航向正确/偏离航向。干扰项设置其他项利用其他表示“路径”的词对course形成近义干扰。例句:Which is the best route to take? 哪一条是最佳路线?This passage will take us to the other building.穿
14、过这条通道,我们就可以到达另一座大楼。Complaints must be made through the proper channels.投诉必须通过正当途径进行。3.A Uncomfortable令人不舒适的B Bad令人不快的,坏的C Unfavourable不利的,有害的D Terrible可怕的,造成极大伤害的本题考核的知识点是:上下文语义+形容词辨析快速解题空格处填入的形容词做定语修饰months,意为“的几个月”。months后面的of介词结构也做定语后置修饰months,由of后面的一系列名词“starvation、disease、death”可知,这几个月的情况是极其严重的
15、,因此,在四个选项中应选择表示恶劣程度最深的terrible。空格设置terrible的词义和用法比较简单,本题需要考生理解上下文的具体内容做出选择。干扰项设置其他项利用表示“不利的”的形容词设置干扰,考生需结合词语表达含义的程度与具体语境排除干扰。4. A passed通过,经过;消磨,度过B sustained维持(生命、生存)C survived生存;幸存,挺过,艰难度过D spent花(时间),度过本题考核的知识点是:上下文语义+动词辨析快速解题空格所在部分意为“朝圣者中只有最为强壮的人那个冬天”。pass常用于指无聊或等人时打发、消磨时间;spend强调以某种方式花时间,常接on sth或in doing sth来表示方式。sustain虽然含有“生存”的意思,但其后常接life或人作宾语,不符合文中用法
