考研試題專項訓(xùn)練－－過渡句/段
1. It serves directly to assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable price, thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labour, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television licence would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 per cent more.
____________________. Apart from the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more than once. If you see an article consistently advertised, it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it, and that it represents good value.
[A] If its message were confined merely to information — and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the colour of a shirt is subtly persuasive — advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.
[B] And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the products and services you buy.

[B] And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the products and services you buy .
【答案】[B]。空格前后的內(nèi)容都是在說廣告給社會帶來的好處，可見兩段屬于順接關(guān)系，空格處的語氣大致可以推斷是對廣告的肯定。[B]中的“guarantee”肯定也是廣告的好處所在，而且“reasonable value”和下文的“good value”是同義表達，因此推斷此項應(yīng)為正確答案；而[A]中的“merely”、“boring”顯然是消極的詞匯，與上下文的語境不符。
2. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
____________________. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we're slow to adapt to change or that we're not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
[A] In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first.
[B] By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.
... In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept .

【答案】[A]。空格前指出在過程中遇到障礙時所持的態(tài)度和所具有的情感，段尾的幾個“new”對解題很關(guān)鍵；空格后表達了作者的人生態(tài)度：勇敢、敢于冒險，空格處也應(yīng)該是這種態(tài)度才能前后一致。[A]中的“willingness”、“accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first”顯然與下文相穩(wěn)合；[B]是對成長過程的理解，沒有涉及到人生態(tài)度。因此[A]為答案。
3. Tight-lipped elders used to say, “It's not what you want in this world, but what you get.”
____________________.
You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.
[A] Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.
[B] When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have
something tangible to sell.

【答案】[A]。先看已給出部分，第一段引用一長輩的話來說明需要與得到之間的關(guān)系，第三段用具體實例來強調(diào)制定計劃的重要性。再看兩備選答案：[A]從心理學(xué)的角度來進一步說明需要與得到之間的關(guān)系，顯然應(yīng)是第一段的繼續(xù)，而且與第二段銜接也很自然；[B]中有“blueprint”這個詞，而在第三段中也出現(xiàn)了此詞，因此具有很強的迷惑性，此時一定要注意時態(tài)，“have prepared”是完成時而后面的第三段是一般現(xiàn)在時，從這一角度考慮就應(yīng)將此排除，而且，此選項中的“sell”一詞，與上下文都無關(guān)，因此選[A]。
