完形填空解题策略与专练(三)
在完形填空中,还存在着上下文之间的逻辑关系推理。在做题的时候,考生也可以通过推敲上下文之间的逻辑关系,利用各种条件、让步、假设、因果等各种逻辑关系,进而找出正确的答案。这个也是做完形填空的第三个重要的技巧。
完形填空第三大策略:借助逻辑关系,推导主旨脉络。

Exemplifying in Skills 例证与技能
众所周知,汉语重意合,英语重形合。英语的语篇非常追求逻辑的严谨,而逻辑严谨的达成主要通过使用众多的连接词来实现。英语语篇中常见的逻辑关系有以下七种:平行或递进的关系;转折的关系;目的或因果的关系层次或顺序的关系;例举的关系;解释说明的关系;归纳总结的关系。在做完形填空题时,要学会分析“逻辑关系”,推导脉络与主旨。新加坡留学申请条件
