九．根据找复现同现解题

复现

复现是一种词汇衔接手段，它通过原词、同义词、反义词、上义词、下义词、同源词或同根词等形式，重复出现来表达某一概念，使整篇文章上下连贯，有机地衔接在一起。因此，考生可根据文章的具体情况，理解文章的结构和语境，利用文章中的复现现象来选择正确答案。

(1)原词复现。为了表达的需要，在具体的上下文中同一个单词重复出现。如：

All of a sudden I started to feel rather ______. She wondered why I was looking for this sort of ______. I felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience. A. encouraged B. dissatisfied C. helpless D. pleased

A. place B. job C. advice D. help

(2)同义词、近义词复现。同义词、近义词复现是借助意思相同或相近的表达方式，或解释性的语言使上下文的语义得以连接起来。如：

(2012) We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be kind to other people. It is also right to look after the environment.

6

Some things are _________ wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

A. equally B. slightly C. clearly D. increasingly

(3)反义词复现。语意的连贯有时是通过对比结构而采用反义复现的手段，或者是以反义的方式对前文加以解释，考生可以从反义的角度判断正确的选项。如：

Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn’t ______ your money; it only tightens it. A. loosen B. weaken C. decrease D. reduce

(4)同源词复现。对于上下文语义复现的表达，还可借助复现信息的同源词或同根词。如：

（2011）It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The _________ is based on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual growth by learning situations that are designed for the special children.

A．principle B. theory C. argument D. classification

(5)上下义关联：上下义是指词的总结和分解关系，上义词是总称词，下义词是被包含的个体或种类。如：food 是bread, noodle, milk, rice的上义词，反之亦然。例：

7

再如：（2011）However, this concern is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these __________ simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are talented.

A. students B. adults C. scholars D. teachers

同现

同现指意义上相互联系的单词同时出现在同一句话或同一语篇中，以确保语篇的和谐性、得体性。由于单词意义的差别、所使用的语境不同，因此所使用的上下文也各有差异。

(1)场所同现。如：

On days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. A. sunny B. rainy C. cloudy D. snowy
