一、關(guān)注首句，領(lǐng)會(huì)大意

　　通過(guò)首句可以明確文章話題，了解篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，預(yù)測(cè)全文內(nèi)容。尾句往往是作者的點(diǎn)睛之筆，通過(guò)尾句一般可以更加真實(shí)、確切地體會(huì)到作者的寫作意圖、對(duì)待事件的真實(shí)態(tài)度等核心內(nèi)容。

　　例：

　　From my second grade on，there was one event I feared every year：the piano recital(獨(dú)奏會(huì))和尾句的With his first recital，my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.表明了文章的主旨：作者本來(lái)很反感彈鋼琴，但是父親的行為感動(dòng)了自己。作者認(rèn)為他的實(shí)際行動(dòng)比30多年以前說(shuō)的話更有感染力。

　　二、注重語(yǔ)境，理清行文邏輯

　　夾敘夾議文以敘述為主，絕大部分篇幅是在描述事件，而作者的觀點(diǎn)及態(tài)度往往隱含在敘述中，這就要求考生增強(qiáng)語(yǔ)篇意識(shí)，抓住文章的敘事線索，弄清文章的內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系，根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容做出選擇，并適當(dāng)進(jìn)行邏輯推理是解題的關(guān)鍵。

　　三、找準(zhǔn)標(biāo)志詞，弄清故事發(fā)展模式

　　夾敘夾議文通常使用對(duì)比、強(qiáng)調(diào)、讓步、舉例、結(jié)論、順序和對(duì)照等手段?？忌鷳?yīng)注意觀察文章的結(jié)構(gòu)特點(diǎn)，根據(jù)表達(dá)這些手段的銜接詞來(lái)正確理解故事情節(jié)。

　　常見(jiàn)標(biāo)志詞有：(1)并列關(guān)系：and，not only...but also，that is to say等；(2)因果關(guān)系：because，for，so that，in order that，due to，thanks to，thus，therefore，so等；(3)對(duì)比關(guān)系：while，whereas，as，rather than，instead of等；(4)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系：although，though，even if，nevertheless，despite，but，yet，however，on the contrary等；(5)遞進(jìn)關(guān)系：also，then，besides，in addition，furthermore，what’s more等；(6)順序關(guān)系：first，then，on the one hand等；(7)轉(zhuǎn)變?cè)掝}：by the way，what I really mean...等。

　　根據(jù)后文中的It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became　　46　　her habit of finding fault.Very quickly，she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47

　　everything so harshly(刻薄).可知，在她最好的朋友經(jīng)歷了一次可怕的事故后，Kerry對(duì)事情的＂態(tài)度(attitude)＂發(fā)生了改變，故本空應(yīng)選attitude。plan計(jì)劃；measure措施；explanation解釋。

　　42.A.urgent　　B.unnecessary　　C.certain　　D.impossible

　　既然這件事能讓這么一個(gè)挑剔的姑娘改變對(duì)生活的態(tài)度，那么這件事一定不同尋常，也就是說(shuō)她感到＂不可能＂發(fā)生，所以應(yīng)選impossible。urgent急迫的，催促的；unnecessary不必要的，多余的；certain必然的，確定的。
