解析:题目要求补充一个宾语,选项中BC都和loan有关。文中提到学生可得到贷款,但low interest loan,很容易就能否定掉C选项。讲到贷款的作用时出现了to buy books,因此答案为A.
例2:Cambridge 4 Test 3 Section 3 Question 24
Reading sessions help students to read
A. analytically
B. as fast as possible
C. thoroughly
解析:题目要求补充动词read的状语。文中提到get into the habit of analyzing material as you read it,说明在阅读过程中要做到边阅读边分析,因此A选项正确。
例3:Cambridge 5 Test 3 Section 2 Question 19
The university accommodation officer will
A. send a list of agents for students to contact
B. contact accommodation agencies for students
C. ensure that students have suitable accommodation
解析:题目要求补充完整谓语成分,根据题目意思可知与解决住宿问题有关。原文中提到有许多租房中介,并且学校负责住宿的官员会代表学生与之联系:will deal with the agencies on your behalf,因此正确答案为C.
5. 考时间,地点,数字:这是非常细节的考题,尽管目标明确,但往往会有很多陷阱或者考生不熟悉的表达方式出现,所以读题时要注意干扰信息的方向的判断,在定位之后一定要仔细分辨信息。
例1:Cambridge 4 Test 3 Section 3 Question 22
The “Study for Success” seminar lasts for
A. one day
B. two days
C. three days
解析:通过读题可发现可用“Study for Success” seminar来定位,原文提到时间时并没有直接说几天,而是讲出了具体哪几天:that's on the first and second of February. 因此答案为2天,很容易忽略。
例2:Cambridge 4 Test 4 Section 4 Question 38
Most sharks are caught in
A. spring
B. summer
C. winter
解析:题目考季节,在原文中也提到了具体的月份—November to February,很容易选择冬天。但文章介绍的是澳大利亚的鲨鱼,属于南半球,季节正好与北半球相反,因此根据常识应选择夏天。
