考查讀者將特定的一句話插入文章順序相連的四個(gè)句子之間的能力。這個(gè)題型是國(guó)內(nèi)考試常見的Cloze Test在語(yǔ)篇層次上的進(jìn)一步發(fā)展,可謂技高一籌。要完成任務(wù),讀者必須深入理解各個(gè)句子間的詞匯、語(yǔ)法和邏輯聯(lián)系。這是新題型,有相當(dāng)難度,考生應(yīng)特別重視。
例題:
Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
All three of them have strengths and weaknesses, but none adequately answers all of the questions the paintings present.
Where would the sentence best fit?
Click on a square to add the sentence to the passage.
Example of how boxes would appear in the passage text:
Scholars offer three related but different opinions about this puzzle. ■ One opinion is that the paintings were a record of the seasonal migrations made by herds. ■ Because some paintings were made directly over others, obliterating them, it is probably that a painting’s value ended with the migration it pictured. ■ Unfortunately, this explanation fails to explain the hidden locations, unless the migrations were celebrated with secret ceremonies. ■
正確答案是:最后一個(gè)方塊處。
