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。
前句Are you looking for a way to bring your family together? Hoping to find a hobby that can be shared by both the little ones and adults?
后句You may know the “feel-good” emotions that come with helping others, but there are even more unexpected ways volunteering will positively affect the whole family.
关键信息词bring your family together(把家人聚到一起)a hobby shared by little ones and adults(大人小孩都能一起的爱好)Volunteering as a family(全家一起做志愿)前句连着问「把家人聚到一起的办法」和「大人小孩都能一起的爱好」,后句接着谈做志愿给全家带来的影响——两句都在等一个答案。
③ 如何判断?前句连着两个问句,问的是「把家人聚到一起的办法」和「大人小孩都能一起玩的爱好」;空在这两个问句之后,就该给出答案,后句接着谈做志愿给全家带来的影响。剩下的 7 项里,只有 B 说的是这个答案:Volunteering as a family 正回答了前句那两个问题,the thing 指代前句的 a way 和 a hobby,又与后句的 volunteering … the whole family 是同一件事;A 讲社区与抑郁、C 讲青少年的终身影响、D 讲打破偏见、E 讲成年人的健康、F 讲发现孩子的本事、G 讲觉得有能力,都不是这个答案。因此,选 B。
选定B · Volunteering as a family may be just the thing you need.
前句Families who volunteer together have the unique experience of working toward a common goal.
后句Everyone brings something unique to the table and can connect with each other in a new way. And, there are tasks for every age and ability, so all your children can feel proud of their work.
关键信息词working toward a common goal(朝共同目标努力)brings something unique(拿出自己独特的东西)your kid has a talent(孩子有某方面的本事)前句说全家朝共同目标努力,后句说每个人都能拿出独特的东西、各种年龄都有活干——两句在谈同一件事:一起做事时各自显出本事。
③ 如何判断?前句在谈全家一起做志愿、朝共同目标努力;后句说每个人都能拿出自己独特的东西、各种年龄和能力都有活干、孩子会为自己的劳动自豪。中间缺的是一件「家长因此发现孩子某方面本事」的事。剩下的 4 项里,只有 F 说的是这个:your kid has a talent 正落在后句的 something unique 和 proud of their work 上,your kid 与前句 Families、后句 your children 是同一家人;C 是讲青少年终身影响的总起句、E 讲成年人身体健康、G 讲觉得有能力,都是别的节的事。因此,选 F。
选定F · You may even learn that your kid has a talent you didn’t know about before.
前句(本节开头;小标题是 You can live longer if you volunteer regularly)
后句Washington University found that adults 55 and older who volunteered had better memory and maintained overall health longer than others their age. Volunteers are also more likely to look after their own health and are more focused on adding physical activity into their lives.
关键信息词You can live longer(能活得更久)adults 55 and older(55 岁以上成年人)physical health benefits(身体健康上的好处)小标题说定期做志愿能活得更久,后句讲 55 岁以上成年人的记忆力、整体健康——两句在谈同一件事:做志愿对成年人身体有好处。
③ 如何判断?小标题已经定了这一段要说「定期做志愿能活得更久」;空在本段第一句,得把标题展开成一句说得通的话,好让后面的研究数据接着往下说。后句讲的是 55 岁以上成年人的记忆力、整体健康和体力活动。剩下的 3 项里,只有 E 说的是这一层:For adults 把人群限定在成年人,与后句的 adults 55 and older 对上,physical health benefits 把 better memory、overall health、physical activity 都收住了;C 讲青少年、G 讲觉得有能力,人群对不上。因此,选 E。
选定E · For adults, volunteering can provide significant physical health benefits.
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。只能靠整段在讲什么来判。
前句(本节开头,空就是小标题;上一节讲的是定期志愿服务能长寿)
后句Volunteering during teenage years has been linked to some major positive effects such as improved grades and increased self-confidence. These effects aren’t just short-term but have been proved to affect a teen’s well-being in the years to come.
关键信息词Volunteering during teenage years(青少年时期做志愿)improved grades and increased self-confidence(成绩提高、自信增强)lifelong effect(影响长远)这一段讲青少年时期做志愿带来成绩提高、自信增强,而且影响往后很多年——整段在谈同一件事:对孩子的影响有多长远。
③ 如何判断?这一段讲的是青少年时期做志愿带来的好处:成绩提高、自信增强,而且不是短期效果,会影响他们往后很多年。空是本段小标题,得把整段收进一句话,同时点到「孩子/青少年」和「影响很长远」这两层。剩下的 2 项里,只有 C 说的是这个:kids and teenagers 正对下文的 teenage years 和 a teen’s well-being,lifelong effect 概括了 aren’t just short-term 那一句;G 讲「觉得有能力」属于第 2 节的事。因此,选 C。
选定C · Volunteering has a lifelong effect on kids and teenagers.
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 · 转折(前句 Yet)。
前句Yet, research has found that giving your time to community causes actually makes you feel like you have more of it.
后句(本节到此结束,下一个小标题转入「定期志愿服务能长寿」)
关键信息词giving your time to community causes(把时间给社区)feel like you have more of it(觉得时间更多)make the most of each day(过好每一天)前句说把时间给社区反而让你觉得时间更多,本节到此为止——要一句把这种感觉落到实处的话。
③ 如何判断?前句用 Yet 推翻「太忙没时间做志愿」这个想法,说把时间给社区反而让你觉得时间更多;空在本节最后一句,要顺着这个结论再往前推一步,说清这种感觉带来了什么。剩下的选项只剩 G:makes you feel capable 接住前句的 makes you feel like,把「觉得时间更多」推进一层,make the most of each day 把「时间变多」落到实处。因此,选 G。
选定G · Volunteering makes you feel capable and inspires you to make the most of each day.
