21主题题看来看去也没选到答案，最后挑了C，看了讲解也没想通。大家看看给我讲讲ya!22.细节题，首先找到L1 “wrong impression”,找到文中的定位，对其解释在L1的下面The epoch that geologists know as 。。。but。。对but取非，选d 。可我选了A，怎么看，怎么对。。。。，怎么回事呢？？ d&R!G1Yww
23.细节，看例子后面。L36 not directly related 对应 tangentially related to。我看后面说的都是depoists就只留了选项B,E.最后选了B.谁能告诉我B怎么不对？？24.对应上面对该方法的评价。（每段要看出作者做了什么，态度如何）b25.infer题，首先定位第一次提到”Pleistocene “的地方，L14的althouth之后的转折;
26.定位desert L12, 原来是个for example,快找它说明的论点，在上一句 “beyond the margins of the ice sheets,climatic oscillations affected most of the world”
.作者态度，最后一段。怎么看怎么像B，怎么回事？？

第22在于对文章第二句的理解，文章说The epoch was not one long continuous glaciation，but a period of oscillating climate，这表明作者要赞成的事后者，反对的是前者，那么自然Ice Age就是赞成前者的，这句话是用来表明作者的观点而不是说Ice Age的。第23题我是这样理解的作者认为an early classification不够正确的原因，不在于它所用的分析对象是deposit而在于所用deposit的性质，我觉得这是补选b和e的理由。最后一题我也觉得b有道理，谁能讲解以下，谢谢啦。

巨抓狂的一篇文章.
请教23-27题如何定位分析?谢谢!


   Many literary detectives have pored over a great
   puzzle concerning the writer Marcel Proust: what
   happened in 1909? How did Contre Saint-Beuve,
   an essay attacking the methods of the critic Saint
(5) Beuve, turn into the start of the novel Remembrance
   of Things Past? A recently published letter from Proust
   to the editor Vallette confirms that Fallois, the editor of
   the 1954 edition of Contre Saint-Beuve, made an essen-
   tially correct guess about the relationship of the essay
(10)to the novel. Fallois proposed that Proust had tried to
   begin a novel in 1908, abandoned it for what was to be
   a long demonstration of Saint-Beuve’s blindness to the
   real nature of great writing, found the essay giving rise
   to personal memories and fictional developments, and
(15)allowed these to take over in a steadily developing novel.


   Draft passages in Proust’s 1909 notebooks indicate
   that the transition from essay to novel began in Contre
   Saint-Beuve, when Proust introduced several examples
   to show the powerful influence that involuntary memory
(20)exerts over the creative imagination. In effect, in trying
   to demonstrate that the imagination is more profound
   and less submissive to the intellect than Saint-Beuve
   assumed, Proust elicited vital memories of his own
   and, finding subtle connections between them, began
(25)to amass the material for Remembrance. By August,
   Proust was writing to Vallette, informing him of his
   intention to develop the material as a novel. Maurice
   Bardeche, in Marcel Proust, romancier, has shown the
   importance in the drafts of Remembrance of sponta-
(30)neous and apparently random associations of Proust’s
   subconscious. As incidents and reflections occurred to
   Proust, he continually inserted new passages altering
   and expanding his narrative. But he found it difficult
   to control the drift of his inspiration. The very richness
(35)and complexity of the meaningful relationships that kept
   presenting and rearranging themselves on all levels, from
   abstract intelligence to profound dreamy feelings, made
   it difficult for Proust to set them out coherently. The
   beginning of control came when he saw how to connect
(40)the beginning and the end of his novel.


   Intrigued by Proust’s claim that he had “begun and
   finished” Remembrance at the same time, Henri Bonnet
   discovered that parts of Remembrance’s last book were
   actually started in 1909. Already in that year, Proust
(45)had drafted descriptions of his novel’s characters in
   their old age that would appear in the final book of
   Remembrance, where the permanence of art is set against
   the ravages of time. The letter to Vallette, drafts of the
   essay and novel, and Bonnet’s researches establish in
(50)broad outline the process by which Proust generated his
   novel out of the ruins of his essay. But those of us who
   hoped, with Kolb, that Kolb’s newly published complete
   edition of Proust’s correspondence for 1909 would docu-
   ment the process in greater detail are disappointed. For
(55)until Proust was confident that he was at last in sight of a
   viable structure for Remembrance, he told few correspon-
   dents that he was producing anything more ambitious
   than Contre Saint-Beuve.

21. The passage is primarily concerned with
  (A) the role of involuntary memory in Proust’s
   writing
  (B) evidence concerning the genesis of Proust’s
   novel Remembrance of Things Past
  (C) conflicting scholarly opinions about the value
       of studying the drafts of Remembrance of
   Things Past
  (D) Proust’s correspondence and what it reveals
   about Remembrance of Things Past
  (E) the influence of Saint-Beuve’s criticism on
   Proust’s novel Remembrance of Things Past

22. It can be inferred from the passage that all of the
   following are literary detectives who have tried, by
   means of either scholarship or criticism, to help
   solve the “great puzzle” mentioned in lines 1-2
   EXCEPT
  (A) Bardeche        (B) Bonnet        (C) Fallois
  (D) Kolb        (E) Vallette

23. According to the passage, in drafts of Contre Saint-
   Beuve Proust set out to show that Saint-Beuve made
   which of the following mistakes as a critic?
      I. Saint-Beuve made no effort to study the         devel-
          opment of a novel through its drafts and
          revisions.
II. Saint-Beuve assigned too great a role in the
     creative process to a writer’s conscious
     intellect.
III. Saint-Beuve concentrated too much on
plots and not enough on imagery and other
elements of style.
  (A) II only          (B) III only          (C) I and II only
  (D) I and III only                (E) I, II, and III

24. Which of the following best states the author’s atti-
   tude toward the information that scholars have gath-
   ered about Proust’s writing in 1909?
  (A) The author is disappointed that no new docu-
       ments have come to light since Fallois’s specu-
       lations.
  (B) The author is didsatisfied because there are too
       many gaps and inconsistencies in the drafts.
  (C) The author is confident that Fallois’s 1954 guess
       has been proved largely correct, but regrets
       that still more detailed documentation
       concerning Proust’s transition from the essay to
       the novel has not emerged.
  (D) The author is satisfied that Fallois’s judgment
       was largely correct, but feels that Proust’s
       early work in designing and writing the
       novel was probably far more deliberate
       than Fallois’s description of the process would
       suggest.
  (E) The author is satisfied that the facts of Proust’s
       life in 1909 have been thoroughly established,
       but believes such documents as drafts and
       correspondence are only of limited value in
       a critical assessment of Proust’s writing.

25. The author of the passage implies that which of the
   following would be the LEAST useful source of
   information about Proust’s transition from working
   on Contre Saint-Beuve to having a viable structure
   for Remembrance of Things Past?
  (A) Fallois’s comments in the 1954 edition of
   Contre Saint-Beuve
  (B) Proust’s 1909 notebooks, including the drafts of
       Remembrance of Things Past
  (C) Proust’s 1909 correspondence, excluding the
       letter to Vallette
  (D) Bardeche’s Marcel Proust, romancier
  (E) Bonnet’s researches concerning Proust’s drafts
       of the final book of Remembrance of Things
       Past

26. The passage offers information to answer which of
   the following questions?
  (A) Precisely when in 1909 did Proust decide to
   abandon Contre Saint-Beuve?
  (B) Precisely when in 1909 did Proust decide to
   connect the beginning and the end of
   Remembrance of Things Past?
  (C) What was the subject of the novel that Proust
       attempted in 1908?
  (D) What specific criticisms of Saint-Beuve appear,
       in fictional form, in Remembrance of Things
       Past?
  (E) What is a theme concerning art that appears in
       the final book of Remembrance of Things
Past?

27. Which of the following best describes the relation-
   ship between Contre Saint-Beuve and Remembrance
   of Things Past as it is explained in the passage?
  (A) Immediately after abandoning Contre Saint-
       Beuve, at Vallette’s suggestion, Proust started
       Remembrance as a fictional demonstration
       that Saint-Beuve was wrong about the
       imagination.
  (B) Immediately after abandoning Contre Saint-
   Beuve, at Vallette’s suggestion, Proust turned
   his attention to Remembrance, starting with
   incidents that had occurred to him while
   planning the essay.
  (C) Despondent that he could not find a coherent
       structure for Contre Saint-Beuve, an essay
       about the role of memory in fiction, Proust
       began instead to write Remembrance, a novel
       devoted to important early memories.
  (D) While developing his argument about the
   imagination in Contre Saint-Beuve, Proust
   described and began to link together
   personal memories that became a foundation
   for Remembrance.
  (E) While developing his argument about memory
       and imagination in Contre Saint-Beuve,
       Proust created fictional characters to embody
       the abstract themes in his essay.

   A serious critic has to comprehend the particular
content, unique structure, and special meaning of a
work of art. And here she faces a dilemma. The critic
must recognize the artistic element of uniqueness that
(5) requires subjective reaction; yet she must not be unduly
prejudiced by such reactions. Her likes and dislikes are
less important than what the work itself communicates,
and her preferences may blind her to certain qualities
of the work and thereby prevent an adequate under-
(10) standing of it. Hence, it is necessary that a critic develop
a sensibility informed by familiarity with the history of
art and aesthetic theory. On the other hand, it is insuffi-
cient to treat the artwork solely historically, in relation
to a fixed set of ideas or values. The critic’s knowledge
(15) and training are, rather, a preparation of the cognitive
and emotional abilities needed for an adequate personal
response to an artwork’s own particular qualities.

17. According to the author, a serious art critic may
   avoid being prejudiced by her subjective reactions
   if she
  (A) treats an artwork in relation to a fixed set of
   ideas and values
  (B) brings to her observation a knowledge of art
   history and aesthetic theory
  (C) allows more time for the observation of each
       artwork
  (D) takes into account the preferences of other art
       critics
  (E) limits herself to that art with which she has
   adequate familiarity

18. The author implies that it is insufficient to treat
   a work of art solely historically because
  (A) doing so would lead the critic into a dilemma
  (B) doing so can blind the critic to some of the
   artwork’s unique qualities
  (C) doing so can insulate the critic from personally
       held beliefs
  (D) subjective reactions can produce a biased
           response
  (E) critics are not sufficiently familiar with art
   history

19. The passage suggests that the author would be
   most likely to agree with which of the following
   statements?
  (A) Art speaks to the passions as well as to the
   intellect.
  (B) Most works of art express unconscious wishes
       or desires.
  (C) The best art is accessible to the greatest number
       of people
  (D) The art produced in the last few decades is of
       inferior quality.
  (E) The meaning of art is a function of the social
       conditions in which it was produced.

20. The author’s argument is developed primarily by
   the use of
  (A) an attack on sentimentality
  (B) an example of successful art criticism
  (C) a critique of artists training
  (D) a warning against extremes in art criticism
  (E) an analogy between art criticism and art
   production

Viruses, infectious particles consisting of nucleic
acid packaged in a protein coat (the capsid), are diffi-
cult to resist. Unable to reproduce outside a living cell,
viruses reproduce only by subverting the genetic mecha-
(5) nisms of a host cell. In one kind of viral life cycle, the
virus first binds to the cell’s surface, then penetrates
the cell and sheds its capsid. The exposed viral nucleic
acid produces new viruses from the contents of the cell.
Finally, the cell releases the viral progeny, and a new
(10) cell cycle of infection begins. The human body responds
to a viral infection by producing antibodies: complex,
highly specific proteins that selectively bind to foreign
molecules such as viruses. An antibody can either inter-
fere with a virus’s ability to bind to a cell, or can
(15) prevent it from releasing its nucleic acid.
Unfortunately, the common cold, produced most
often by rhinoviruses, is intractable to antiviral defense.
Humans have difficulty resisting colds because rhi-
noviruses are so diverse, including at least 100 strains.
(20) The strains differ most in the molecular structure of
the proteins in their capsids. Since disease-fighting anti-
bodies bind to the capsid, an antibody developed to
protect against one rhinovirus strain is useless against
other strains. Different antibodies must be produced for
(25) each strain.
A defense against rhinoviruses might nonetheless
succeed by exploiting hidden similarities among the
rhinovirus strains. For example, most rhinovirus strains
bind to the same kind of molecule (delta-receptors) on
(30) a cell’s surface when they attack human cells. Colonno,
taking advantage of these common receptors, devised
a strategy for blocking the attachment of rhinoviruses
to their appropriate receptors. Rather than fruitlessly
searching for an antibody that would bind to all rhi-
(35) noviruses, Colonno realized that an antibody binding
to the common receptors of a human cell would prevent
rhinoviruses from initiating an infection. Because human
cells normally do not develop antibodies to compo-
nents of their own cells, Colonno injected human cells
(40) into mice, which did produce an antibody to the
common receptor. In isolated human cells, this anti-
body proved to be extraordinarily effective at thwarting
the rhinovirus. Moreover, when the antibody was given
to chimpanzees, it inhibited rhinoviral growth, and in
(45) humans it lessened both the severity and duration of
cold symptoms.
Another possible defense against rhinoviruses
was proposed by Rossman, who described rhinovi-
ruses’ detailed molecular structure. Rossman showed
(50) that protein sequences common to all rhinovirus strains
lie at the base of a deep “canyon” scoring each face of
the capsid. The narrow opening of this canyon possibly
prevents the relativly large antibody molecules from
binding to the common sequence, but smaller molecules
(55) might reach it. Among these smaller, nonantibody
molecules, some might bind to the common sequence,
lock the nucleic acid in its coat, and thereby prevent
the virus from reproducing.

21. The primary purpose of the passage is to
  (A) discuss viral mechanisms and possible ways of
       circumventing certain kinds of those mecha-
       nisms
  (B) challenge recent research on how rhinoviruses
       bind to receptors on the surfaces of cells
  (C) suggest future research on rhinoviral growth in
       chimpanzees
  (D) defend a controversial research program whose
       purpose is to discover the molecular structure
       of rhinovirus capsids
  (E) evaluate a dispute between advocates of two
   theories about the rhinovirus life cycle

22. It can be inferred from the passage that the protein
   sequences of the capsid that vary most among
   strains of rhinovirus are those
  (A) at the base of the “canyon”
  (B) outside of the “canyon”
  (C) responsible for producing nucleic acid
  (D) responsible for preventing the formation of
   delta-receptors
  (E) preventing the capsid from releasing its nucleic
       acid

23. It can be inferred from the passage that a cell
   lacking delta-receptors will be
  (A) unable to prevent the rhinoviral nucleic acid
   from shedding its capsid
  (B) defenseless against most strains of rhinovirus
  (C) unable to release the viral progeny it develops
       after infection
  (D) protected from new infections by antibodies
   to the rhinovirus
  (E) resistant to infection by most strains of
   rhinovirus

24. Which of the following research strategies for devel-
   oping a defense against the common cold would the
   author be likely to find most promising?
  (A) Continuing to look for a general antirhinoviral
        antibody
  (B) Searching for common cell-surface receptors in
        humans and mice
  (C) Continuing to look for similarities among the
        various strains of rhinovirus
  (D) Discovering how the human body produces
   antibodies in response to a rhinoviral infec-
   tion
  (E) Determining the detailed molecular structure
       of the nucleic acid of a rhinovirus

25. It can be inferred from the passage that the purpose
   of Colonno’s experiments was to determine whether
  (A) chimpanzees and humans can both be infected
       by rhinoviruses
  (B) chimpanzees can produce antibodies to human
       cell-surface receptors
  (C) a rhinovirus’ nucleic acid might be locked in
       its protein coat
  (D) binding antibodies to common receptors
   could produce a possible defense against
   rhinoviruses
  (E) rhinoviruses are vulnerable to human anti-
       bodies

26. According to the passage, Rossman’s research
   suggests that
  (A) a defense against rhinoviruses might exploit
   structural similarities among the strains of
   rhinovirus
  (B) human cells normally do not develop antibodies
       to components of their own cells
  (C) the various strains of rhinovirus differ in their
       ability to bind to the surface of a host cell
  (D) rhinovirus versatility can work to the benefit
       of researchers trying to find a useful antibody
  (E) Colonno’s research findings are probably
   invalid

27. According to the passage, in order for a given anti-
   body to bind to a given rhinoviral capsid, which of
   the following must be true?
  (A) The capsid must have a deep “canyon” on each
       of its faces.
  (B) The antibody must be specific to the molecular
       structure of the particular capsid.
  (C) The capsid must separate from its nucleic acid
       before binding to an antibody.
  (D) The antibody must bind to a particular cell-
   surface receptor before it can bind to a
   rhinovirus.
  (E) The antibody must first enter a cell containing
       the particular rhinovirus.

Diamonds, an occasional component of rare igneous
rocks called lamproites and kimberlites, have never been
dated satisfactorily. However, some diamonds contain
minute inclusions of silicate minerals, commonly olivine,
(5) pyroxene, and garnet. These minerals can be dated by
radioactive decay techniques because of the very small
quantities of radioactive trace elements they, in turn,
contain. Usually, it is possible to conclude that the inclu-
sions are older than their diamond hosts, but with little
(10) indication of the time interval involved. Sometimes,
however, the crystal form of the silicate inclusions is
observed to resemble more closely the internal structure
of diamond than that of other silicate minerals. It is not
known how rare this resemblance is, or whether it is
(15) most often seen in inclusions of silicates such as garnet,
whose crystallography is generally somewhat similar to
that of diamond; but when present, the resemblance is
regarded as compelling evidence that the diamonds and
inclusions are truly cogenetic.

17. The author implies that silicate inclusions were most
   often formed
  (A) with small diamonds inside of them
  (B) with trace elements derived from their host
   minerals
  (C) by the radioactive decay of rare igneous rocks
  (D) at an earlier period than were their host
   minerals
  (E) from the crystallization of rare igneous material

18. According to the passage, the age of silicate minerals
   included in diamonds can be determined due to a
   feature of the
  (A) trace elements in the diamond hosts
  (B) trace elements in the rock surrounding
       the diamonds
  (C) trace elements in the silicate minerals
  (D) silicate minerals’ crystal structure
  (E) host diamonds’ crystal structure

19. The author states that which of the following
   generally has a crystal structure similar to that of
   diamond?
  (A) Lamproite                (B) Kimberlite
  (C) Olivine           (D) Pyroxene           (E) Garnet

20. The main purpose of the passage is to
  (A) explain why it has not been possible to deter-
       mine the age of diamonds
  (B) explain how it might be possible to date some
       diamonds
  (C) compare two alternative approaches to deter-
       mining the age of diamonds
  (D) compare a method of dating diamonds with a
       method used to date certain silicate minerals
  (E) compare the age of diamonds with that of
   certain silicate minerals contained within
   them

Discussion of the assimilation of Puerto Ricans in
the United States has focused on two factors: social
standing and the loss of national culture. In general,
excessive stress is placed on one factor or the other,
(5) depending on whether the commentator is North
American or Puerto Rican. Many North American
social scientists, such as Oscar Handlin, Joseph Fitz-
patrick, and Oscar Lewis, consider Puerto Ricans as
the most recent in a long line of ethnic entrants to
(10) occupy the lowest rung on the social ladder. Such a
“sociodemographic” approach tends to regard assimila-
tion as a benign process, taking for granted increased
economic advantage and inevitable cultural integration,
in a supposedly egalitarian context. However, this
(15) approach fails to take into account the colonial nature
of the Puerto Rican case, with this group, unlike their
European predecessors, coming from a nation politically
subordinated to the United States. Even the “radical”
critiques of this mainstream research model, such as the
(20) critique developed in Divided Society, attach the issue
of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of
economic and social mobility and are thus unable to
illuminate the cultural subordination of Puerto Ricans
as a colonial minority.
(25)    In contrast, the “colonialist” approach of island-
based writers such as Eduardo Seda-Bonilla, Manuel
Maldonado-Denis, and Luis Nieves-Falcon tends to
view assimilation as the forced loss of national culture
in an unequal ocntest with imposed foreign values.
(30) There is, of course, a strong tradition of cultural accom-
modation among other Puerto Rican thinkers. The
writings of Eugenio Fernandez Mendez clearly exemplify
this tradition, and many supporters of Puerto Rico’s
commonwealth status share the same universalizing
(35) orientation. But the Puerto Rican intellectuals who have
written most about the assimilation process in the
United States all advance cultural nationalist views,
advocating the preservation of minority cultural distinc-
tions and rejecting what they see as the subjugation of
(40) colonial nationalities.
This cultural and political emphasis is appropriate,
but the colonialist thinkers misdirect it, overlooking
the class relations at work in both Puerto Rican and
North American history. They pose the clash of national
(45) cultures as an absolute polarity, with each culture under-
stood as static and undifferentiated. Yet both the Puerto
Rican and North American traditions have been subject
to constant challenge from cultural forces within their
own societies, forces that may move toward each other
(50) in ways that cannot be written off as mere “assimila-
tion.” Consider, for example, the indigenous and Afro-
Caribbean traditions in Puerto Rican culture and how
they influence and are influenced by other Caribbean
cultures and Black cultures in the United States. The
(55) elements of coercion and inequality, so central to
cultural contact according to the colonialist framework
play no role in this kind of convergence of racially and
ethnically different elements of the same social class.

21. The author’s main purpose is to
  (A) criticize the emphasis on social standing in
   discussions of the assimilation of Puerto
   Ricans in the United States
  (B) support the thesis that assimilation has not
   been a benign process for Puerto Ricans
  (C) defend a view of the assimilation of Puerto
   Ricans that emphasizes the preservation of
   national culture
  (D) indicate deficiencies in two schools of thought
       on the assimilation of Puerto Ricans in the
       United States
  (E) reject the attempt to formulate a general frame-
       work for discussion of the assimilation of
       Puerto Ricans in the United States

22. According to the passage, cultural accommodation
   is promoted by
  (A) Eduardo Seda-Bonilla
  (B) Manuel Maldonado-Denis
  (C) the author of Divided Society
  (D) the majority of social scientists writing on immi-
       gration
  (E) many supporters of Puerto Rico’s common-
       wealth status

23. It can be inferred from the passage that a writer
   such as Eugenio Fernandez Mendez would most
   likely agree with which of the  following statements
  concerning members of minority ethnic groups?
  (A) It is necessary for the members of such groups
       to adapt to the culture of the majority.
  (B) The members of such groups generally encounter
       a culture that is static and undifferentiated.
  (C) Social mobility is the most important feature
       of the experience of members of such groups.
  (D) Social scientists should emphasize the cultural
       and political aspects of the experience of
       members of such groups.

短 批评家面对的两难境地。开始说has to comprehend，后面说必须要这样，必须要那样。。
17，定位Hence后面 L11-12。E是干扰选项，此处并没有“limit”这个意思，故错。
18，“insufficient”定位在“On the other hand”之后的逻辑层面。B是末句改写：unique＝particular。
19，A是主旨，passions和intellect就对应了delimma。
20．结构题。既然是dilemma，就要避免extreme，作者的目的就是提出这个警告，故正确。

长：首段先说病毒入侵的过程，现象解释型（要注意什么来得，大家要心里有数了吧！）
二段：“Unfortunately”关注！态度负的！对于由rhinovirus引起的最为常见的感冒，反病毒防御机制intractable（－）。后面都是顺承，可以略读了。
三段：虽然如此，通过利用各种鼻病毒之间隐藏着的共同点，针对鼻病毒的某种防御might succeed（＋）。“nonetheless”强转折哦！有没有注意到？！再看第2句，for example,大段的举例，可以先略过，回头后面有细节题再回来找（大写人名，L33 rather than,要仔细看。L43 moreover,也眇一眼吧）。本段是＋评价的，因为后面没有转折啦。
四段：“Another possible(+) defense”，代表人物Rossman.后面没有态度转折，也是＋评价。
21，主旨
22，“the protein sequences of the capsid”定位L50之后
23，“delta-receptors”定位L29之后，“lacking”说明是考缺陷，进而定位L33 rather than的事物比较。
24，这题的题干很迷惑人，题干问的是a defense against the common cold，而从2段我们知道the common cold 对应rhinoviruses，所以本题实际上问的是文章3段内容。这样就对应3段首句，改写得C.
或者也可以这样：由“the common cold”定位2段，“most promising”指示问的是缺陷。在L18 people have difficulty...，说太多样，对这个缺陷取非，即找similarities，应该就可以克服了。同样可以得到C答案。
25, 举例作用题，即Colonno这个例子是为了说明什么。关注例子前面得结论。得D选项。
26，“Rossman”人名定位末段。L50，Rossman showed的内容即是答案。
27，“a given antibody to bind to a given rhinoviral capsid”问的是一对一的关系时，会怎样。在2段L20到段末。（其实这题不用定位做的，因为这种一对一的关系是本文主要的难题，就是为了解决这个问题，才会有后面的2种方法出现。看文章的时候已经很明白这一点啦！）

首先根据解玉姐姐昨天给我的讲解和新东方的笔记我做一下总结：

1 what to read:逻辑层次，文字标记，关键句的意思
2 how to read：取舍

还有一种特别套路[/size[/ ...

SUN,本质抓住了，现在方法要跟上哦！好的开始是成功的一半，方向最重要，呵呵！你已经找对咯！:victory:

关于特别套路，给篇具体的文章分析吧！这么说好概括哦，理解有如隔靴搔痒。。。。

短 测diamond的age，里面N个but,however……郁闷的文章。。。。
17，L8 “older than”事物之间比较，D是原文改写。
18，L5之后。“the very small quantities of radioactive trace elements ”
19，L16
20，我做错，文章里转来转去的，不知道是比较还是解释，哪个说法比较好！怎么判断呢？
长 美国与PR的文化同化
这篇文章我觉得比较典型，尤其是文章的结构指示句很明显，如果全部关注到，对于理解篇章结构和做题非常有效。
首段说对于PR的同化问题，一般侧重2个方面social standing和the loss of national culture。NA偏重social standing。代表人物：OH,JF,OL。
关注：L14 However,fail to缺陷。
L19 such as 举例“Divided Society” `
二段in contrast转折， PR人偏重the loss of national culture。代表人物ESB,MMD,LNF。作品EFM。L35 but缺陷。
三段首句but 作者态度：colonialist thinkers misdirect（－）
关注：L46 yet both….
         L51 举例for example要说明的结论（例子之前这句）
如果哪位看了原文之后觉得对文章结构不慎明了，可以只看我推荐的这几句话，结合他们在文章中的位置做一下思考，这个词，这句话（有的话里面包含了态度，缺陷等重要因素）在文章中起了什么样的作用，要思考！
21主旨题
22题细节题：用accommodation来定位L31。“of course ”是不是要予以关注？算让步还是特殊语言？
23人名定位。L35 but后面来了个minority...取非
24 挑一个NA的态度或做法就可以。逻辑层面不同。定位容易L12。
25我错了，我定位在L5之后，“view assimilatiion as the forced loss of national culture in an unequal ocntest with imposed foreign values”PR人偏重文化，选了B，不知道E怎么讲？.
26态度题，这个but是一定要有的，原文如果有让步，态度题必然有转折，如果没有，则立刻派出！
27举例作用题L51例子之前。
