一、材料
Two short notes were copied onto one sheet, each with one blank; the four candidate words are listed below.
Note 1: The notice was put up at nine. ____ the room was checked at ten, two chairs were missing.
Note 2: The notice was put up at nine. ____ the room was checked at ten, the notice was still on the wall.
Both blanks take the same word. Candidates: A. When B. Because C. Although D. Before
两则短笺与四个候选词都是随题拟写的,不对应任何真实处所或记录;作答只看这两则里明写的时间与用词,不另查搭配表,也不要求改写句子。
二、题目
1. Which word fits both blanks without adding a relation neither note states?
A. When B. Because C. Although D. Before
2. Which comment on Because is most accurate?
A. Both notes say the chairs were missing because of the notice.
B. Note 2 uses still, so Because must be the word for that note.
C. Both notes give only two times, nine and ten; neither says the checking happened as a result of the notice.
D. Before is the only word that keeps the order of the two times.
3. In Note 2, which word shows that the second clause does not undo the first?
A. put up B. still C. at ten D. notice
三题均为单项选择;答案只按上面两则短笺与四个候选词判定。
三、答案与逐题依据
1. A(When)。两则都只写了九点贴上、十点查看,是一先一后两件事。When 把两句接在时间上,没有另添关系。Because 添出前句导致后句的因果,Although 添出让步,Before 与九点在先、十点在后这个顺序相抵。按题面能说的只是时间先后,不是原因,也不是转折。
2. C。两则明写的只有 nine 与 ten 两个时间,以及各自后句所见:一则少了几张椅子,一则告示仍在墙上。没有一句写查看是贴告示带来的结果。A 替 Note 1 添了因果;B 把 still 当成选 Because 的理由,可 still 说的是后句没有推翻前句,与因果无关;D 说 Before 是唯一保住顺序的词,九点在先、十点在后,Before 反而把先后说反。这里不替任何词表裁定 Because 还能怎么用。
3. B(still)。Note 2 后句写 the notice was still on the wall,still 明说十点查看时告示仍在,九点贴上去这件事没有被后句推翻。put up、at ten、notice 都只是时间、动作或物件本身,不负责这层「仍在」的意思。看短笺时先找哪一个词在明写这层关系,比凭印象背固定搭配有用。
四、判定要点与易错点
判定要点一:先把两则各自明写了什么列清楚——两个时间、一个动作、后句所见的一件事。凡候选词带进题面没有的关系,先回头找有没有对应的一句。
判定要点二:一先一后不等于前因后果;两个时间摆在一起,也不等于后句在让步。选词时看题面给了什么,不看这个词在别处常见怎么配。
判定要点三:still 这一类词是在明写「后句没有推翻前句」,与因果、让步不是一层;把它当成别的关系的依据,就会把两则都读歪。
易错点:见到两个时间就填 Because;把 Although 当成任何两句都能用;把 still 读成转折;替短笺补出没有写的缘由。
五、文本与依据核验
| 候选词 | 带进的关系 | 两则里有没有 |
|---|---|---|
| When | 时间先后 | 有,nine 与 ten |
| Because | 前句导致后句 | 没有 |
| Although | 让步 | 没有 |
| Before | 后句在前 | 与九点、十点相抵 |
四个候选词与两则短笺逐项并列如上;本篇不另查搭配表,也不要求改写句子,只按两则里明写的时间与用词判定。
