本题要求我们对A、B中哪种观点赞成小汽车作出判断。A句中主句对小汽车予以否定,句首对小汽车的肯定性陈述又被notwithstanding一词否定。答案是B,第一分句讲到小汽车的缺陷:缺乏大汽车的空间和气派;第二分句则认为小汽车的紧凑及其优秀的低耗油特征能远远弥补上述不足,前面以转折连词将作者观点转向第二分句。
归纳是一种由特殊(个别)到一般的概括,从阅读理解角度说,所谓个别即具体细节,所谓一般即章节段落的大意或主题,归纳是由特殊细节推向一般主题的概括过程。
我们可以借助词的上下义关系来领会掌握并运用归纳这一方法。
A)Microwaveovenshaveeliminatedmanyoftheinconveniencespreviouslyassociatedwiththepreparationofmeals.
B)Manyfoodscangodirectlyfromthefreezertothemicrowaveovenwithoutbeingdefrosted.
C)Manymicrowaveovenscanbepre-settocookfoodwhileyouareawayfromthekitchen.
D)Themicrowaveovenhasgreatlyreducedtheamountoftimeittakestocookameal.
分别从方便、解冻、定时三个不同的方面具体讲述微波炉不同于传统炊具的优势,而A则从整体上覆盖了上述三句的内容,故A是对B、C、D的概括,上述分析、寻找最具概括意义之选项的过程即为归纳过程。推而广之,我们可用之于段落和短文主题的归纳。
