If you want to choose one of all the questions in the postgraduate entrance examination English, it is also a new question.
The new questions are called sub-questions in English test questions. Next, I will teach you the problem-solving ideas and skills of new questions.
First, learn new questions at once?
1. What does the new question mainly examine? What's the difference between reading a book and doing a problem?
Examine the examinee's understanding of the overall structure and logical relationship of the article when reading.
Suggestion: Different from reading comprehension, new problem-solving skills with strong pertinence are needed.
2. Question type, difficulty coefficient and focus of the new question type?
The new question type was reformed in 2005, and a reading became a new question type, with many alternative questions and strong flexibility.
Suggestion: Choose the appropriate method to solve problems according to different types of questions. Each question type has different emphases, and you can't solve all the problems in the same way.
(1) Choose collocation questions (five out of seven) (English 1)
Proposition form: an article with a total length of 500 ~ 600 words, including 5 blank paragraphs and 6 ~ 7 paragraphs after the article. According to the content of the article, candidates are required to choose 5 paragraphs from these 6-7 paragraphs and put them in 5 blanks of the article respectively. ?
Difficulty coefficient: medium, focus of investigation.
Inspection focus: focus on the grasp of logic, coherence and consistency in the text.
(2) Subtitles or general sentences (English I and II)
Proposition form: There are 6-7 paragraphs or 6-7 general sentences or subheadings before and after an article of about 500 words. These words or titles are a summary, explanation or example of a part of the article.
Difficulty coefficient: the simplest, less exams.
Focus: focus on local paragraphs (not details) and the ability to summarize the general idea of the paragraph.
(3) Paragraph sorting questions (English 2)
Proposition form: In an article of about 500 ~ 600 words, the original order of paragraphs has been disrupted. Candidates are required to reorder the listed paragraphs (7-8) according to the content and structure of the article, and the positions of paragraphs 2-3 in the article have been given.
Difficulty coefficient: the most difficult, the new trend of proposition
Focus: Focus on the overall frame structure, paragraph coherence and consistency of the article. That is, to examine the logical relationship between paragraphs, so it is particularly sensitive to the keywords suggested between paragraphs.
(4) Multiple Corresponding Questions (English 2)
Proposition form: In an article of about 450 ~ 550 words, the content of the test questions is divided into two columns, the left column contains five questions and the right column contains seven options. Candidates are required to select five related information from the seven options in the right column.
Difficulty coefficient: simple
Focus of examination: not only should candidates grasp the structure and generality of the article, but also their ability to find the key points quickly.
Estimated time for doing new questions: within 20 minutes.
Second, what are the skills for doing new questions?
(1) Choosing collocation questions (five out of seven) Thinking and skills for solving problems
The key to high score: emphasize logic. Master the common cohesion and connection methods in the article. There must be a connection between the blank space and the correct option. You need to find this correlation.
Think about solving problems:
The first step is to know what the article is about: read the first paragraph or the last sentence of the first paragraph selectively to determine the theme of the article, without reading the full text.
The second step is to understand what the option says: read the option and find out the key words of the option through the general idea of the option. Skill: Most keywords are nouns indicating the theme and nature, verbs indicating changes and adjectives indicating feelings and attitudes.
Step 3, start positioning step by step: The following are quick positioning methods:
Check the position of punctuation marks in the original text.
Find out whether there are duplicate or substituted keywords in the options and the original text. The content of repetition between them is as follows: the original word or sentence appears; Did not replace the original words or sentences, synonyms or synonymous phrases. ?
Locate whether pronouns or definite articles appearing in the original text point to an option.
Pay attention to the words that express the relationship of juxtaposition, turning, causality and explanation, and infer the logical relationship between options and spaces. These logical relations have certain lexical rules, such as some symbolic conjunctions and adverbs. If you can pay attention to these clues, candidates can sort out the order between different paragraphs in the shortest time. The following are the key words that should be paid attention to when doing the problem, which symbolizes the logical relationship:
① Causality: Signs include for, cause, since, there, etc.
(2) Turning relation: Signs include but, however, though, however, contrary, contrary and so on.
③ Parallel and progressive relationship: Signs include, indeed, also, concept, similarity, like, correspondingly, in the same way, and, in addition, more, and so on.
(4) Explain the relationship: marker words include namely, that is, for example, such as, namely, in other words, etc.
Tip: If you are not sure, you can skip it first and then decide what is certain. If something can be explicitly excluded, it can be marked directly to narrow the choice.
Step 4: Read the full text: After finishing, you must abandon the subjective knowledge in your mind when solving problems before, and try to read the full text from an objective perspective to perceive whether the article is smooth, whether the content is jumping, whether the logic is hurt, and so on.
(2) Subtitle or summarize the problem-solving ideas and skills of sentences.
The key to high score: emphasize local generalization. Find the answer with options, focusing on whether paragraphs and subheadings can be compared.
Think about solving problems:
The first step is to know what the article is about: read the first paragraph or the last sentence of the first paragraph selectively to determine the theme of the article, without reading the full text.
The second step is to understand what the options say: browse the title options and catch the keywords.
The third step is to understand what each paragraph says: summarize the main idea of each paragraph (especially the paragraph where the blank space is located). Tip: How to find the topic sentence quickly: Pay attention to the end of the first paragraph, turning sentences, repeated words, or sentences with hints, and summarize the main logical words such as there.
Step four, start matching step by step: after understanding a paragraph and refining the central idea of the paragraph, start matching the relationship with the title. The most commonly used methods are reproduction of original words and synonymous substitution.
The fifth step is to read the full text.
(3) Ideas and skills of solving problems in paragraph sorting.
The key to high score: emphasize logic. Focus on the genre of the article, find the logical point accurately and locate it quickly.
Ideas for solving problems: 1. Understand what the given paragraph says: Read the content of the given paragraph and predict the full text. Understand what topics and objects the article is about, and pay attention to some key words.
The second step is to understand what the options say: read the topic options and find out the key words.
The third step is to start positioning gradually.
Note: the first sentence does not contain pronouns, summary words and transitional words; Does not contain comparison objects, such as superlative, first or last.
Note: The last paragraph usually contains words indicating the end.
Preliminary and accurate sorting Note: Pay attention to each option, and there are words between the options to indicate the context, cause and effect, total score, etc. Use the connection between the upper and lower segments; Pay attention to the repetition at the end and beginning of the paragraph and judge it semantically.
Fourth, read through the full text test.
Skill: In the method of sorting problems, you can also help sorting by clarifying the genre of the article: the genre of the article determines that the article itself has certain narrative and expansion methods to follow. Accurately judging the genre of articles and grasping the typical structure of such articles can make paragraph sorting much easier.
Argumentative topic-problem-reason-countermeasure-conclusion
Explain positive/negative things-advantages-disadvantages-looking to the future/looking back on the past.
Narratives are arranged in chronological order, mainly focusing on time, tense and action.
(4) Thinking and skills to solve multiple corresponding problems.
The key to high score: emphasize local generalization. Left option palindrome positioning.
Think about solving problems:
The first step is to understand what the options say: read the options and predict the full text. Give priority to the content on the left, grasp the core words, give consideration to the right, and infer the full text.
The second step is to understand the content of the article: read the first paragraph or the last sentence of the first paragraph selectively to determine the theme of the article, without reading the full text.
The third step begins to match gradually: locate palindromes with the keywords on the left as clues, and compare the alternative information on the right to get the answer.
Fourth, read through the full text test.
Here embodies a high-energy general skill: that is, the new question type can be done according to the idea of "doing the problem three times in mathematics", to determine the determined content and reduce the uncertainty; At the same time, follow some skills to ensure the correct rate, such as semantic substitution and irony. Moreover, any option cannot be selected repeatedly.
In a word, candidates should do a lot of exercises before the exam. Only when practice makes perfect can they really master the rules of paragraph sorting and get full marks for new questions!
