【典型例題 1】

　　【原文】1 ①Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. ②School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educational ritual. ③Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade.

　　【題目】21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____.

　　【選項(xiàng)】

　　[C]is not required for advanced courses

　　[D]is gaining more preferences

　　【分析】題干在問(wèn)，“據(jù)第一段暗示，現(xiàn)如今家庭作業(yè)_______”。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞homework和in recent years可以精確定位到第一段第一句，說(shuō)“近幾年，家庭作業(yè)尤其受到鄙視”。而D選項(xiàng)說(shuō)家庭作業(yè)受到了越來(lái)越多的喜愛(ài)，很顯然和文章內(nèi)容相反的，這是屬于正反混淆。C選項(xiàng)意思是家庭作業(yè)對(duì)于高級(jí)課程是不需要的。而第一段第三句后半部分，說(shuō)“除了一些高級(jí)課程之外，家庭作業(yè)或許不再占到學(xué)生學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)的10%”，明顯和文章內(nèi)容是不一致的。

　　【典型例題 2】

　　【原文】1 ①Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. ②He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent.”

　　【題目】41. How did Redmon find his job?

　　【選項(xiàng)】[A] By searching openings in a job database.

　　【分析】題干在問(wèn)，“Redmon是如何找到他工作的?”定位到第一段第二句，說(shuō)“他搜索CareerBuilder這個(gè)網(wǎng)站結(jié)果一無(wú)所獲。”CareerBuilder就指的是“a job database”。而A 選項(xiàng)卻說(shuō)他是通過(guò)這個(gè)工作數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)搜索到空缺職位的，和文章中的內(nèi)容很明顯是相反的，屬于正反混淆。

　　【典型例題 3】

　　【原文】4①…conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one.

　　【題目】23. According to Ericsson, good memory

　　【選項(xiàng)】[B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises.

　　【分析】題干在問(wèn)，在Ericsson看來(lái)，好的記憶力會(huì)如何?文中出現(xiàn)了more...than...這個(gè)比較結(jié)構(gòu)，肯前否后，意思是記憶這種行為與其說(shuō)是一種先天的練習(xí)，不如說(shuō)是一種后天的習(xí)題。而B(niǎo)選項(xiàng)說(shuō)，好的記憶力來(lái)自于先天的練習(xí)而不是后天的習(xí)得。剛好和文中定位信息相反。
