二、语气词出现在选项中,要结合句意在选项中比较、排除。
例句1: The scientist found it puzzling that his rival‘s theory retained its_______ despite widespread suggestions that it was now _______.
A. perspective…dated
B. currency…moribund
C. appeal …accepted
D. complexity…unfathomable
E. credibility…recognized
解析:本句从整体上判断属于转折关系句型,而且空白出现在两个分句中,需要将二者结合起来考虑,乍一看不能立即排除掉任何一个选项,这时候就应该把选项依次代入原句,根据句子结构这两个空白处要填的词语气相反,按照这个逻辑去对应,只有B符合要求。
例句2: Paleontologists‘ assumptions about the equable nature of the climate on the primeval island of Pangaea are ________ computer simulations indicating that the island‘s temperatures tended to _______ during the course of a year.
A. based on… cool
B. confirmed by… vary
C. challenged by…stabilize
D. bolstered by…soar
E. undermined by…fluctuate
解析:本题是综合性质的,从句子整体来看属于现在分词起解释说明的作用,也不能立即排除掉任何选项,但通过比较选项可以将其分为正面语气和反面语气,从而按照结合句意缩小范围,均衡二者之后,可以得出如果第一个空白处为正面语气。
