英语四级阅读题在考试时是最好得分的客观题部分,考前复习时,同学们也对这部分最感兴趣,既然如此,备考阶段怎能没点准备?下面新东方在线英语四级频道为大家带来英语四级阅读高频考点:并列逻辑处,希望对大家有帮助!
除了最熟悉的转折以外,逻辑关系还包含:并列、举例、因果、递进等等。而紧排在转折之后,并列相对在历年真题中也是较多出现的考查处。
常见表并列的词语:and, while(同时), meanwhile, also;
值得注意的是:两个句子之间用分号(;)隔开,也表并列。
并列比较难以察觉,需要同学平时练习过程中就有意识地对这种逻辑关系进行关注。下面结合真题,大家可以详细的回顾一下。
例1:(并列)They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.(2011.6, cet 4)
53. Why couldn't Britain compete with some of its neighbouring countries in terms of food in the post-war decades?
A. Its food lacked variety.
B. Its people cared more for quantity.
C. It was short of well-trained chefs.
D. It didn't have flavourful food ingredients.
【答案】B
【解析】本段后半部分提到,这种只重数量不重质量的习惯持续了几十年,这意味着一代英国人是被无法和邻近的法国、意大利、比利时和西班牙相媲美的食物养 大的。由此可知,英国食物无法跟邻国竞争是因为英国人只重数量不重质量。B选项是对原文中“prioritisation of quantity over quality”的同意转述。
