1.语境题.对文章首段进行分析后,本题的解答会变得十分容易.前一句讲聪明购买是一种可以让你的钱花更长时间的积极方法.注意到前句中的a positive way,而本句则是对前一句提出的观点的进一步解释,所以本题应该选择way.这道题时间上用到了我讲过的复现结构的解题方法.
2.语境题.本题是我讲过的标志词法解题的典型应用.分析句子The __1__ you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually __2__ you money or can add __3__ the cost.句中的宾语部分actually __2__ you money or can add __3__ the cost.中含有标志词or,而or前后的两部分结构是并列的,意思是相反的,即can actually __2__ you money和can add __3__ the cost.是两并列结构.由add可知后半部分是讲增加花费,则前半部分的意思应该是减少花费,即省钱的意思.所以本题答案为save.
3.词汇搭配题.本题考查动词add与介词构成词组的意思的辨析.add up的意思为总计达,与总数相符;意味着;说得通,合情合理.add to的意思为增加,增添,补充.add in的意思为包括,把…加进去.add on的意思为另外加上去.由此可知本题应该选择add to.
4.词汇搭配题.本题考查固定搭配take the simple example of意思为举一个简单的例子.
5.语境题.本题的解答需要结合后面的内容判断.首先可以确定该句话为一个宾语从句.其次注意到下一句话But when you get it home you may find that...即但是当你把它带回家时你会发现...,由此可以判断前一句话是你自己认为的,下一句话为实际发生的,考察四个选项后可以确定正确答案为 think.
