前言
Ø 补全短文出题特点:
以2002年和2003年综合C补全短文的出题特点进行比较:
2002年补全短文题:
Home Schooling1
2003年补全短文题:
Success Stories
Attached materials:
From Home Schooling
主题理解---All children in the United States have to receive an education, but the law does not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school.
语言特点:句子结构较简单,多为简单句或简单复合句。
From Success Stories
主题理解---One of the most successful fashion companies in the world is Benetton. The Benetton family opened their first shop in Italy in 1968. ___(46). Benetton followed four marketing2 principles in order to achieve their success.
语言特点:句子结构较简单,多为简单句或简单复合句。
可以看出:综合C级补全短文考题中,所选择的文章主题基本上都与社会或文化有关。文章中句子结构较为简单,文章主题较容易理解。文章通常是选择职称英语用书以外的难度相当的文章。
补全解题思路分析:
该部分考题主要考察考生把握文章结构,掌握作者思路的能力。本部分为一篇300-450词的文章,文章后有6组文字,其中五组取自文章本身,要求考生挑出这五组文字并将其放回相应的位置。补全短文题的出题形式是要求考生把完整的句子放入空格中的形式。对于要求把完整的句子填入空格中的考题的解题思路是:先读文章标题,抓住文章核心词和文章中心内容, 并猜测文章可能涉及到的内容,从而能在选项中进行借助主题从内容上进行初步的筛选;同时需要注意备选项的特点(从被选项句意之间的关系,结构之间的关系进行比较,并注意句子结构中的一些特征词:逻辑词汇(作状语表示逻辑关系的副词,表示语意逻辑发展的连词,和具有指代作用的代词),和特征结构(句子时态))。最后在解题时可以利用空格前后句的句意,推测出空格处与前后句的语意关系(语气转折句,总结句,承上启下句往往是考察点)。空格前后句中词语的使用特点也是我们解题的思路。
考试中考点往往设置在一些具有特殊语意句子处(如,转折句,总结归纳句, 语意递进句,举例分析句等)或段落中的特殊位置处(如:段首句,段尾句)。
本讲教学目的
讲解补全短文题的解题思路和解题方法,并借助文章展开对职称英语中重要的语法点和词汇的复习。

答案及解析:
1.文章标题分析:标题“Teamwork in Tourism/旅游业中的团队合作”告诉我们这是一篇讲述旅游业的文章,而“团队合作”是文章要突出的中心。
补充:
teamwork spirit 团队合作的精神
-ism suf.[构成抽象名词]
表示“主义, 学说, 信仰, 制度, 风俗”, 如: communism, capitalism
表示“状态”, 如: barbarism(野蛮)
表示“病态”, 如: alcoholism(酒精中毒)
2. 结合文章中心观察备选项:
A.The same confidence exists between agencies and carriers(运输公司), including car-rental(汽车租赁) and sightseeing services. (如果有A,前文应该出现描述“。。和。。之间是如何信任”的句子)
B.They offer familiarization (熟悉, 精通)and workshop tours(精通情况和研讨问题的旅游) so that in a short time agents can obtain first-hand knowledge of the tours.
C. Travel operators(经纪人), specialists in the field of planning, sponsor extensive research programs. (如果有C,后文中可能会接着讨论有关Travel operators的内容)
D.As a result of teamwork, tourism is flouring/ flourishing in all countries.(如果有D, 前文中应该具体谈到“团队合作”)
E. Agencies rely upon the good services of hotels, and, conversely, hotels rely upon agencies, to fulfill their contracts and to send them clients.(A中间已经出现过了agencies)
F. In this way agents learn to explain destinations and to suggest different modes and combinations of travel -- planes, ships, trains, motorcoaches(汽车), car-rentals(租用), and even car purchases. (如果有F,则前文中应该出现描述“。。的方式”的句子)
3. 直接做题做出答案选择:
(Growing cooperation among branches of tourism has proved valuable to all concerned. (“合作”是文章中心)Government bureaus, trade and travel associations, carriers and properties(运输公司和房地产公司) are all working together to bring about optimum conditions for travelers.)
补充:
concerned adj(常与with, about连用)挂…念的,担…心的; [常用于名词之后]有关(方面)的
e.g. I am very concerned about her. 我非常挂念她。
e.g. the authorities concerned有关当局
concern oneself with … 关心/关注..
optimum adj最好的,最佳的;最有利的
A.The same confidence exists between agencies and carriers(运输公司), including car-rental(汽车租赁) and sightseeing services. (如果有A,前文应该出现描述“。。和。。之间是如何信任”的句子)
B.They offer familiarization (熟悉, 精通)and workshop tours(精通情况和研讨问题的旅游) so that in a short time agents can obtain first-hand knowledge of the tours.
C. Travel operators(经纪人), specialists in the field of planning, sponsor extensive research programs. (如果有C,后文中可能会接着讨论有关Travel operators的内容)
D.As a result of teamwork, tourism is flouring/ flourishing in all countries.(如果有D, 前文中应该具体谈到“团队合作”)
E. Agencies rely upon the good services of hotels, and, conversely, hotels rely upon agencies, to fulfill their contracts and to send them clients.(A中间已经出现过了agencies)
F. In this way agents learn to explain destinations and to suggest different modes and combinations of travel -- planes, ships, trains, motorcoaches(汽车), car-rentals(租用), and even car purchases. (如果有F,则前文中应该出现描述“。。的方式”的句子)
__1__. They have knowledge of all areas and all carrier services, and they are experts (与C中的specialists呼应)in organizing different types of tours and in preparing effective advertising campaigns.
C.分析:空格后句中的They have knowledge of 和they are experts 暗示“They”在前文中应该指代人,而且是专家,因此确认C为答案(而B中的They在前文中没有明确的指代对象)。
考点:考察代词的指代内容和句子之间语意的平行承接
A.The same confidence exists between agencies and carriers(运输公司), including car-rental(汽车租赁) and sightseeing services. (如果有A,前文应该出现描述“。。和。。之间是如何信任”的句子)
B.They offer familiarization and workshop tours(精通情况和研讨问题的旅游) so that in a short time agents can obtain first-hand knowledge of the tours.
D.As a result of teamwork, tourism is flouring/ flourishing in all countries.(如果有D, 前文中应该具体谈到“团队合作”)
E. Agencies rely upon the good services of hotels, and, conversely, hotels rely upon agencies, to fulfill their contracts and to send them clients.(A中间已经出现过了agencies)
F. In this way agents learn to explain destinations and to suggest different modes and combinations of travel -- planes, ships, trains, motorcoaches(汽车), car-rentals(租用), and even car purchases. (如果有F,则前文中应该出现描述“。。的方式”的句子)
They (仍然指代前文中的Travel operators)distribute materials to agencies, such as journals, brochures(小册子) and advertising projects. __2__.
B.分析:空格前文中在围绕Travel operators这个中心展开叙述,所以到这里(第2段段末句)继续讨论Travel operators的可能性较大(词语提示:代词they的呼应),这样B(从B中可以看出they应该是“旅游方面的专家”, 这样they指代前文中的核心词Travel operators是合理的)合适。
考点:考察代词的指代内容和句子之间语意的平行承接
A.The same confidence exists between agencies and carriers(运输公司), including car-rental(汽车租赁) and sightseeing services. (如果有A,前文应该出现描述“。。和。。之间是如何信任”的句子)
D.As a result of teamwork, tourism is flouring/ flourishing in all countries.(如果有D, 前文中应该具体谈到“团队合作”)
E. Agencies rely upon the good services of hotels, and, conversely, hotels rely upon agencies, to fulfill their contracts and to send them clients.(A中间已经出现过了agencies)
F. In this way agents learn to explain destinations and to suggest different modes and combinations of travel -- planes, ships, trains, motorcoaches(汽车), car-rentals(租用), and even car purchases. (如果有F,则前文中应该出现描述“。。的方式”的句子)
Tourist counselors(顾问) give valuable seminars(研究会) to acquaint agents with program and techniques in selling. __3__.
F.分析:空格前句中出现核心词Tourist counselors(顾问) 和agents, 而F中的中心词正是agents,而且在句意上F和空格前句承接:F中In this way回应前句中具体行为方式的讲述。
考点:考察this的指代内容。
补充:
Acquaint vt(与with 连用)使熟悉;使相识;(B级词汇)
e,g, be acquainted with知道;相识
invaluable adj其价值无法衡量的
A.The same confidence exists between agencies and carriers(运输公司), including car-rental(汽车租赁) and sightseeing services. (如果有A,前文应该出现描述“。。和。。之间是如何信任”的句子)
D.As a result of teamwork, tourism is flouring/ flourishing in all countries.(如果有D, 前文中应该具体谈到“团队合作”)
E. Agencies rely upon the good services of hotels, and, conversely, hotels rely upon agencies, to fulfill their contracts and to send them clients.(A中间已经出现过了agencies)
Properties and agencies work closely together to make the most suitable contracts, considering both the comfort of the clients and their own profitable financial arrangement. __4__.
E.分析:对剩下的三个选项进行比较:D(对tourism的总结概括)最可能出现文章最后部分;A的中心词confidence在空格前句中没有词语上的对应,也没有句意上的对应;因此答案只能选择E(E中的“相互依赖”和空格前句中的“紧密合作”在语意上呼应)。
考点:考察句意的平行发展(句子结构的呼应)
A.The same confidence exists between agencies and carriers(运输公司), including car-rental(汽车租赁) and sightseeing services. (如果有A,前文应该出现描述“。。和。。之间是如何信任”的句子)
D.As a result of teamwork, tourism is flouring/ flourishing in all countries.(如果有D, 前文中应该具体谈到“团队合作”)
__5__. Carriers are dependent upon agencies to supply passengers, and agencies are dependent upon carriers to present them with marketable tours. All services must work together for greater efficiency, fair pricing and contented customers.
A.分析:从空格在段落中位置的特点和备选项句意的特点,直接判断答案为A。
考点:考察段落之间语意的承接(承上启下句)
