3 考点词在判断题题目中的运用,剑7-3-1
技巧：题目说same, 原文说be compared to 像。。。， 这种情况直接选false。
判断题题目: Ants use the same channels of communication as humans do
原文: Ants store food,repel attackers and use chemical signals to contact one another in case of attack. Such chemical communication can be compared to the human use of visual and auditory channels (as in religious chants, advertising images and jingles, political slogans and martial music) to arouse and propagate moods and attitudes. The biologist Lewis Thomas wrote, 'Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies to war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labour, exchange inforn nation ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.
答案是false。题目关键词same， channels of communication， 定位后看包含定位词的一整句话。定位到了这句话Such chemical communication can be compared to the human use of visual and auditory channels (as in religious chants, advertising images and jingles, political slogans and martial music) to arouse and propagate moods and attitudes. 这句话中的be compared to 和题目的same是替换，这么一比对发现答案是false，因为原文是说蚂蚁use chemical signals ，人类用visual and auditory channels 。不一样的方法，但是题目说一样的方法，矛盾了。有人以为是选true, 因为原文说be compared to，以为等于题目的same。以后大家可以用更简单的办法，就是题目说same, 原文说be compared to 像。。。， 这种情况直接选false。
4 考点词在填空题题目中的运用
例子1：剑10-1-1
Another example is the Surya Kund in Modhera, northern Gujarat,
next to the Sun Temple, built by King Bhimalin 1026 to honour the sun god Surya. It actually resembles a tank (kund means reservoir or pond) rather than a well, but displays the hallmarks of stepwell architecture, including four sides of steps that descend to the bottom in a stunning geometrical formation. The terraces house 108 small, intricately carved shrines between the sets of steps.
11题答案是tank。分析：根据Surya Kund，1026定位，well,找到了原文段落，所以11题resembles a tank等于题目的looks more like a tank ,
例子2：剑7-4-1
The discovery on one pyramid of an object which resembled a ……___11_ suggests they may have experimented with__12__
原文：A wooden artefact found on the step pyramid at Saqqara looks uncannily like a modern glider. Although it dates from several hundred years after the building of the pyramids, its sophistication suggests that the Egyptians might have been developing ideas of flight for a long time
11题答案：modern glider， 原文的looks like对应题目的resemble.定位这句话discovery对应found ，pyramid对应pyramid
例子3：剑7-1-1
However, even before this was understood, the principle had been applied in the design of instruments which calculated the _8___ of the seabed.
Before this was discovered, engineers had already built instruments to exploit the principle, for example to measure the depth of the sea under a ship.
答案：depth
分析：这里重点看的是空前后的词，比如calculate，这里的calculate=measure，calculated the ......of the seabed对照原文measure the depth of the sea under a ship
例子4：剑7-4-1
Q: The Egyptians had __8____ , which could lift large pieces of ......9.. , and they knew how to use the energy of the wind from their skill as __10____.
原文: Harnessing the wind would not have been a problem for accomplished sailors like the Egyptians. And they are known to have used wooden pulleys, which could have been made strong enough to bear the weight of massive blocks of stone.
8题答案：（wooden) pulleys
9题答案：stone
10题答案：(accomplished) sailors
分析：定位Egyptians，wind，定位到这两句话；其实可以通过which could 这个句式结构 把第8题做出来，就是wooden pulleys，而且答案填写名词，which前的名词只有wooden pulleys，更加能确定了。第九题根据结构也能得出是stone， 题目是large pieces of，原文是massive blocks of stone。同意替换bear the weight of=lift。后面第10题 use=harness，10题答案是sailors.
