補(bǔ)全短文分析 如何關(guān)注選項(xiàng)時(shí)態(tài)？

解題思路

關(guān)注備選項(xiàng)之間在時(shí)態(tài)上是否有差異：某些選項(xiàng)是過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)，某些選項(xiàng)是現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。備選項(xiàng)的時(shí)態(tài)與空格所在的上下文（句群）基調(diào)時(shí)態(tài)一致，則該備選項(xiàng)成為答案的可能性較大。在解答補(bǔ)全文章題目以前，先快速瀏覽一下選項(xiàng)，如果選項(xiàng)時(shí)態(tài)不同，就可以先將選項(xiàng)分類(lèi)，在后續(xù)解題的過(guò)程中，可以根據(jù)上下文判斷空格處的時(shí)態(tài)，從而只需在此類(lèi)型時(shí)態(tài)的選項(xiàng)中作出選擇，而不必考慮其他的選項(xiàng)。這是一種簡(jiǎn)單快速的排除法。

真題回放

Female Bullfighting

It was a unique, eye-catching sight: an attractive woman in a shiny bullfighter's suit, sword in hand, facing the sharp horns of a black, 500-kilogram beast.

Most people thought the days of female bullfighting were over in Spain.　46

The first woman fighter, Cristina Sanchez, quit in 1999 because of male discrimination (歧視). But Vega is determined to break into what could be Spain's most resistant male field.　47

Spanish women have conquered almost all male professions.　48　"The bull does not ask for your identity card," she said in an interview a few years ago. She insisted that she be judged for her skills rather than her femaleness.

Vega became a matador (斗牛士) in 1997 in the southwestern city of Caceres. 　49　. She entered a bullfighting school in Malaga at age nine and performed her first major bullfight at age 14. She has faced as much opposition as Sanchez did. And the "difficulties have made her grow into a very strong bullfighter," her brother Jorge says.

The 1.68-metre tall and somewhat shy Vega says her love of bullfighting does not make her any less of a woman.　50

A. She intends to become even better than Sanchez was.

B. Her father was an aspiring (有雄心壯志的) bullfighter.

C. But many bullfighting professionals continue to insist that women do not have what it takes to perform the country's "national show".

D. "I'm a woman from head to toe and proud of it," she once said.

E. She looks like a male bullfighter.

F. But recently, 29-year-old Mari Paz Vega became the second woman in Spanish history to fight against those heavy animals.

［答案解析］

46．F。［解析］前句用的過(guò)去時(shí)，故空格處也應(yīng)選擇過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)句意此處對(duì)前句進(jìn)行了轉(zhuǎn)折，故答案為F。

47．A。［解析］本段用的均為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，表示一般的狀態(tài)，故為保證時(shí)態(tài)一致，空格處也應(yīng)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。

48．C。［解析］前一句提到已征服了幾乎所有的male professions，故此處對(duì)前句進(jìn)行了轉(zhuǎn)折。故答案為C選項(xiàng)。

49．B。［解析］前句為過(guò)去時(shí)，前面是對(duì)Vega的家庭背景的簡(jiǎn)單介紹，在介紹出生地后，很自然地會(huì)介紹父母，故答案為B。

50．D。［解析］最后一段作為文章的總結(jié)，從形式上可以很容易想到引用女主人公的話，故答案為D。

Achilles' heel

如果一個(gè)句子帶有自己的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，則其可以使用自己獨(dú)特的時(shí)態(tài)，而不受所在句群的基調(diào)時(shí)態(tài)的影響。例：Mum used to sing the same song to me when I was sick, but now I still don't know its name. 前半句用的是過(guò)去時(shí)，表示過(guò)去常常進(jìn)行的一個(gè)動(dòng)作，后半句中給出了自己的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)now，說(shuō)明后半句是表示狀態(tài)的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，故助動(dòng)詞選用don't而非didn't。
