衔接词=前后句里起衔接作用的词或短语。它要么指代前句中某个信息(this、that、these people、this book),要么表明上下句的逻辑关系(so、but、however、even、moreover)。 标红的原则:只标这一篇真正用得上的那个词——句内用的不算:本句里的 and、举例用的 such as、定语从句的 that,都不标;跟这五个空无关的句子里也不标。
② 情况一前后句有衔接词——衔接词定方向,再用前后句的语义确认。这一空是逻辑衔接词 · 承接(后句句首 As 说明原因)。
前句She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks.
后句As the customer grabs the drink from her hand, she smiles and says, “Hello, how is your day?”
关键信息词goes back and forth between machines(在机器之间来回)As the customer grabs the drink(顾客接过饮品时)After finishing an order(做完一份之后)前句说她在机器之间做饮品,后句说顾客从她手里接过饮品——两句在谈同一件事:一份饮品从做到交出去。
③-1 收范围前句在谈她在几台机器之间来回做饮品;后句说顾客从她手里把饮品接过去——句首 As 说明两句是一前一后接着发生的。所以中间空的句子该是她工作流程里的一个动作,而且得是「做完一份、交出去」这一环。剩下的 7 项里,属于她的工作动作的有 C、D 两项:C 是提前到岗,D 是做完一份叫杯上的名字。
③-2 锁定后句 As the customer grabs the drink 说的是交接那一瞬间,落在这上面的只有 D:After finishing an order 标出先后,the cup、the drink 与后句是同一件东西;C 的 arrives early 是上班之前的事,接不上顾客接过饮品这一下;其余五项:A 讲关门时间、B 讲她有两个孩子、E 是总结句式会截断动作链、F 讲顾客的感受、G 讲在这儿干了多少年,都不是这里的动作。因此,选 D。
选定D · After finishing an order, she calls out the name on the cup.
② 情况一前后句有衔接词——衔接词定方向,再用前后句的语义确认。这一空是指代衔接词(后句 I do so 里的 so)。
前句Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time.
后句"I do so because I like to make coffee for the students. I know they need it in the morning," Murphy said.
关键信息词get up at a quarter to five(四点四十五起床)I do so(我这么做)arrives early to serve the students(提前到岗服务学生)前句说她每天早起开车准时到岗,后句说「我这么做是因为喜欢给学生做咖啡」——两句在谈同一件事:她为到岗服务学生做的那些事。
③ 如何判断?前句在谈她每天四点四十五起床、开半小时车,只为准时到岗;后句开口就是 I do so「我这么做」——so 要指代中间空的句子里刚说过的一个动作,后面又解释这么做是因为喜欢给学生做咖啡。所以中间空的句子一定是她主动做的、跟到岗服务学生有关的动作。剩下的 6 项里,只有 C 说的是这个:arrives early 是个实打实的动作,so 有东西可指,serve the students 与后句的 make coffee for the students 是同一件事;A 讲关门时间、B 讲她有两个孩子、E 是总结句式、F 讲顾客的感受、G 讲在这儿干了多少年,都不是这么个动作。因此,选 C。
选定C · Sometimes she arrives early to serve the students early.
① 判位置前后都有句子:前句讲常客 Wright 一周来六天,后句是 Wright 的引语 → 段中。
② 情况二前后句没有衔接词——只读前句与后句各在说什么,推演中间缺哪一层意思。
前句Joanna Wright, a senior political science major, loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week.
后句"Catherine always has a huge smile on her face, which always puts me in a cheerful mood," Wright said.
关键信息词goes to the cafe at least six days a week(一周至少来六天)puts me in a cheerful mood(让我心情好)starts her day off good(把一天开个好头)前句说常客 Wright 一周至少来六天,后句是她说 Catherine 的笑容让她心情好——两句在谈同一件事:来咖啡馆给她的早晨带来什么。
③ 如何判断?前句在谈常客 Wright 是大四学生、一周至少来六天;后句是 Wright 本人的话,说 Catherine 的笑容让她心情好。中间空的句子得接着「来咖啡馆」这件事往下说,主语还是 Wright,内容该跟一天的开始、上课有关。剩下的 3 项里,只有 F 说的是这个:Going to the cafe 与前句的 goes to the cafe 是同一件事换个说法,starts her day off good 接住后句的 cheerful mood,gets her ready for class 对得上她大四学生的身份;E 是段末总结句式会截断前后句,G 的主语是 Murphy 不是 Wright,人称对不上。因此,选 F。
选定F · Going to the cafe starts her day off good and gets her ready for class.
后句She has every intention of staying and continuing doing what she loves.
关键信息词I enjoy working in the cafe(我喜欢在这儿工作)staying and continuing doing what she loves(留下来继续做喜欢的事)has served here for 17 years(在这儿干了十七年)前句说她喜欢在这儿工作,后句说她打算留下来继续做——两句在谈同一件事:她在这儿待了多久、为什么舍不得走。
③ 如何判断?前句是 Murphy 说「我喜欢在这儿工作」;后句说她打算留下来、继续做她喜欢的事。中间缺一句能撑住「留下」这个意思的话——她在这儿干了多久、为什么舍不得走。剩下的 2 项里,只有 G 说的是这个:has served here for 17 years 补出了「干了多久」,can’t imagine working anywhere else 与后句的 every intention of staying 是同一个意思换个说法;E 是总结句式,放在段中会把前后两句截断。因此,选 G。
选定G · She has served here for 17 years and can’t imagine working anywhere else.
② 情况二前后句没有衔接词——只读前句与后句各在说什么,推演中间缺哪一层意思。前句末尾那个 and more 是个等着往下接的话头。
前句Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning? The College Cafe has just that, and more.
后句(本段到此结束,下段转入咖啡师 Catherine Murphy)
关键信息词just that, and more(你要的,还有更多)serves up smiles(还提供微笑)Not only … it also(不只是……还)前句说这家咖啡馆有你要的、而且还有更多——空在本段最后一句,要一句把「更多」说出来、并给下一段递话头的话。
③ 如何判断?前句在谈 The College Cafe 有你要的、而且还有更多——and more 等着中间空的句子把「更多」是什么说出来;空在本段最后一句,要接住这个话头,还得给下一段(她的微笑有感染力)递个话头。剩下的选项只剩 E:it also serves up smiles 正好把 and more 说出来,smiles 又引出下一段的「她的微笑有感染力」。因此,选 E。
选定E · Not only does this cafe serve up drinks, it also serves up smiles.

回顾:那 2 项为什么进不去
项
选项
为何排除
A
The cafe closes at 9 pm every day.
它讲的是营业时间,而全篇五段没有一段需要这个信息;句子里也没有任何衔接词,放进哪个空都接不上。
B
She has two children aged eight and four.
它是补充家庭背景的一句话,五个空没有一处需要它。唯一的诱惑在第 3 段那句 Being a mother 附近,可那句是已经写完的原文,而且后句的 I do so 要指代一个动作——「有两个孩子」不是动作,指代落空。
