两种选项分析技巧:

(一) 排除一个选项的技巧,下列选项,可以排除:

1. 所属类别和其他选项相距甚选的选项,例如:

(A) The choice of course. (C) An evening course. (B) A day course. (D) Their work.

其中的D选项,明显和其它三个选项属于不同类别,因而对的可能性极小。

2. 所涉及的人物和其他选项不同的选项,例如:

A) The arrangement of the Wednesday meeting.

B) Where they are going to meet Mr. Johnson.

C) The necessity of writing to Mr. Johnson.

D) Who is going to contact Mr. Johnson.

其中的A选项,明显和Mr. Johnson没直接关系, 因而对的可能性极小。

3. 四个选项中,仅有一个选项含有数字或专用名词,则该选项一般不对,例如:

A) They are both anxious to try Italian food.

B) They are likely to have dinner together.

C) The man will treat the woman to dinner tonight.

D) The woman refused to have dinner with the man.

其中有且仅有A选项,含有专用名词Italian,因而对的可能性极小。

又例如:

A) Take the GRE test again in 8 weeks.

B) Call to check his scores.

C) Be patient and wait.

D) Inquire when the test scores are released.

其中有且仅有A选项,含有专用名词GRE,有含有数字,因而对的可能性更小。

4. 四个选项中,仅有一个或者两个选项含有听力中很少涉及的词汇,则该选项一般不对。例如:

A) He was kept in hospital for a long time.

B) He was slightly injured in a traffic accident.

C) He was seriously wounded in a mine explosion.

D) He was fined for speeding.

C选项含有mine explosion在听力和日常口语中很少涉及,因而对的可能性很小。

5. 内容不合常理、比较荒谬的选项一般不对。例如:

A) Most people killed in traffic accidents are heavy drinkers.

B) She doesn’t agree with the man.

C)Drunk drivers are not guilty.

D) People should pay more attention to the danger of drunk driving.

其中的A选项是不合常理的,大多数死于交通事故的人是醉鬼车轮下的冤魂,而不是被称为“马路杀手”的醉酒司机,C选项就更为荒谬,Drunk drivers无罪,天理难容!

6. 含义比较绝对、过于极端的选项一般不对。一般说来,含有too(太)anything, everything等含义比较绝对的选项是不对的。 例如:

A) She takes it as a kind of exercise. B) She wants to save money.

C) She loves doing anything that is new. D) Her office isn't very far.

其中,A选项含义比较绝对,除非有很大把握,一般不能作为正确选项。
