探秘考研英语阅读的出题角度和策略

一、从状语等修饰语的角度出题

考研英语阅读的文章句子一般较长，出题人往往只从句子当中的某一个成分处设题，特别是定语成分和状语成分。例如：

Still,JeffersonfreedHemings’schildren—thoughnotHemingsherselforhisapproximately150otherslaves.Washington,whohadbeguntobelievethatallmenwerecreatedequalafterobservingthebraveryoftheblacksoldersduringtheRevolutionaryWar,overcamethestrongoppositionofhisrelativestogranthisslavestheirfreedominhiswill.Onlyadecadeearlier,suchanactwouldhaverequiredlegislativeapprovalinVirginia.

40.Washington’sdecisiontofreeslavesoriginatedfromhis

[A]moralconsiderations.

[B]militaryexperience.

[C]financialconditions.

[D]politicalstand.

【解析】题干问的是华盛顿给奴隶自由的决定是源于什么，也就是问原因，显然我们需要找原因状语的分。文中最后一段的“Washington,whohadbeguntobelievethatallmenwerecreatedequalafterobservingthebraveryoftheblacksoldersduringtheRevolutionaryWar,overcamethestrongoppositionofhisrelativestogranthisslavestheirfreedominhiswill.”明确指出是因为：afterobservingthebraveryoftheblacksoldersduringtheRevolutionaryWar，华盛顿才做了这个决定，所以答案选[B]“军事经历”。

二、对原句进行同义词替换

对原文句子中个别词汇进行同义词替换，从而制造出同义答案，这是考研阅读选项设置的常见手法。大家需要在做题的过程中不断积累同意替换词。

[B]Humanheightisconditionedbytheuprightposture.

[C]Americansarethetallestonaverageintheworld.

[D]Largerbabiestendtobecometallerinadulthood.

【解析】这个题目需要对选项进行排除。文中第三句说：eventhoughhumanshavebeenuprightformillionsofyears,ourfeetandbackcontinuetostrugglewithbipedalpostureandcannoteasilywithstandrepeatedstrainimposedbyoversizelimbs.尽管人类已经直立行走了很多年，我们的脚和背都在承受的直立行走的压力，不能够
