1. 首先要做的肯定是通讀全文,了解大意,不要急于把我們能想到的單詞填上去,先大致瀏覽一遍掌握文章中心思想,一篇短文中有許多空格,使文章不完整。所以,必須先通讀全文1-2遍,盡力做到基本了解文章的主題句。注意文章提到的人物(who)、事物(what)、時(shí)間(when)、地點(diǎn)(where)、原因(why)、及過(guò)程(how)。切記不要看一句,做一句。

2. 還要學(xué)會(huì)逐句分析,前后一致,所謂著眼于篇,著手于句,我們通讀完全文過(guò)后我們還是得將單詞放入句子當(dāng)中一句一句地瀏覽細(xì)讀,這樣才能找到我們之前填寫文章發(fā)生的錯(cuò)誤。選擇每句空格中應(yīng)選的正確答案時(shí),要考慮整個(gè)句子的內(nèi)容,有時(shí)要考慮時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)、非謂語(yǔ)形式、習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)、介詞、連詞、關(guān)系詞以及句子的結(jié)構(gòu)等。前后一致指一句句子與全文,與上下文要保持時(shí)態(tài)一致、主謂一致、單復(fù)數(shù)一致、邏輯上一致,也就是要考慮上下文,使前后意思上連貫,符合邏輯與語(yǔ)法要求。

3. 在遇到我們不會(huì)的小題時(shí),將給出的四個(gè)答案一個(gè)一個(gè)代入文章當(dāng)中,看語(yǔ)句是否通順,排除錯(cuò)誤,確定答案,答題時(shí)應(yīng)考慮一下命題人的意圖,四種供選擇的答案有何區(qū)別?每一小題考什么?明顯錯(cuò)誤的答案或不可能的首先剔除,這樣可能一下子就化難為易了。有時(shí)也可能有兩個(gè)答案一時(shí)難確定,如果近義詞就要注意細(xì)微的區(qū)別,推敲琢磨一下,注意詞的搭配和習(xí)慣用法。

4. 在我們確定好所有答案后我們?cè)俅瓮ㄗx全文,仔細(xì)比對(duì)答案是否合理,語(yǔ)句是否通順,最后可用鉛筆把選的詞寫在空格處,把短文從頭到尾細(xì)讀一遍,這時(shí)憑自己的語(yǔ)言知識(shí)和語(yǔ)感可感知全文是否流暢通順。

【題目】Dogs can tell how other dogs are feeling from the way their tails are wagging(搖擺),according to researchers who monitored the animals’ heart rate as they watched dogs’ movies. The Italian team found that dogs had higher heart rates and became more anxious when they saw others wag their tails more to the left,but not when they wagged more to the right, or failed to wag at all.

The curious form of communication is probably not intentional, or consciously understood, but is instead an automatic behavior that arises from the structure of the brain, said Giorgio. “It’s not something they clearly and exactly understand,” Giorgio told The Guardian. “It’s just something that happens to them.”

Giorgio traces the effect back to the way the two halves of the brain process different experiences. In a previous study, his team showed that when a dog had a positive experience, activity rose in the left side of the brain, bringing about more tail wagging to the right. Or else more tail wagging to the left. The effect is barely visible to the human eye because dogs tend to wag their tails too fast, but it can be seen with slow motion video, or in some larger types.

In the latest study, the researchers wanted to find out whether the direction of tail wagging had any effect on other dogs. To get an answer, they fitted dogs with vests that recorded their heart rates, and played them movies of other dogs wagging their tails one way and then the other. To ensure the dogs reacted only to tail wagging, and not appearance? they repeated the experiment with dogs that appeared only as shadows.

“When dogs saw other dogs wagging their tails to the right, there was quite a relaxed reaction and no evidence of an increased heart rate. But when the wagging was to the left we saw an increase in heart rate and a series of behaviors typically associated with stress, anxiety and being more watchful, “Giorgio said. The anxious animals held their ears up, breathed, and kept their eyes wide open. The study appears in the latest issue of Current Biology.

1What does the text focus on?

A. Animal protection. B. Animal welfare.

C. Animal tests. D. Animal psychology.

2What leads to dogs’ wagging tail to the left or right according to Giorgio?

A. Their automatic behavior. B. Their conscious response.

C. Their increasing heart rate. D. Their selective preference.

3At what time do dogs have more tail wagging to the right?

A. When they run quickly. B. When they feel hungry.

C. When they play with their owners. D. When they feel stressed.

4What may be the best title for the text?

A. How dogs communicate with each other

B. Some reasons why dogs feel seriously anxious

C. Dogs’ different behaviors in different situations

D. Dogs’ communicating ways of tail wagging
