【語篇定位】

這是一篇記敘文。文中小男孩雖然失去了一支胳膊，但在一名很有經(jīng)驗的教練的指導(dǎo)下勤奮訓(xùn)練最終獲得了聯(lián)賽的冠軍。這一事例充分體現(xiàn)了優(yōu)勢與劣勢是可以相互轉(zhuǎn)換的。

【思維導(dǎo)航】

別忙著對答案喲!先檢查檢查吧!

1. 注意though 與despite表“雖然”的區(qū)別，前者是連詞后者是介詞。2. 要善于從文章本身里面尋找答案。 3. 注意前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。 4. 注意是一省略句。 5. 注意是反詰語氣的疑問句。 6. 注意前后句的語意聯(lián)系。7. 注意常識。 8. 注意句中的easily。 9. 注意and前后并列的詞一般在語意等方面應(yīng)一致。10. 注意動詞辨微。11. 注意and前后并列的詞一般在語意等方面應(yīng)一致但不能重復(fù)。12. 注意前后文的聯(lián)系推理。13. 裁判不僅要對比賽負責也會關(guān)心愛護運動員。14. 要知道柔道比賽是身體沖突很激烈的比賽。15. 注意when除了有“當什么時候”的意思外還有“這時”的意思。16. 注意行文語意邏輯推理。17. 小男孩的對手犯了一致命錯誤，將護具會怎么樣呢？18. 注意動詞辨微。19. 注意名詞辨析。向別人發(fā)問需要鼓足力氣還是勇氣呢？20. 將選項分類也是很好的一種解題技巧：如其中3個為一類，剩下的單獨為一類，則單獨構(gòu)成一類的很有可能是正確答案。
