第六講 怎樣做完成句子
一、題型介紹

在全國職稱英語等級考試中,完成句子是一種比較新穎的題型。這種題型通常是先給出一篇300詞左右的短文,短文後給出五個不完整的句子,一般是缺少一個詞,要求考生在理解短文的基礎之上,完成這五個句子,即把丟掉的詞根據原文的內容給填出來。儘管每個句子都缺少一個詞,但如果要填的詞比較難,題目設計者提供了所要填的詞的第一個字母或前兩三個字母,這樣難的題目就變得相對容易些了。

由於完成句子這種題型比較新穎,在目前我國其它類型的大規模考試中尚末使用過,許多應試者對該題望而生畏,有的甚至乾脆放棄了這一部分。實際上大可不必如此,因為完成句子在本質上只不過是我們常見的閱讀理解題型的一種變體,或叫簡答題,考生根據自己對於文章的內容的理解從四個先項中先出一個正確的答案。而完成句子這種題型通常是先給出一篇短文,短文後給出五個不完整的句子,每個句子一般缺少一個詞,要求考生在理解短文的基礎之上,完成這五個句子,這些句子多半已改變了敘述的角度或者採用另一種廉潔,但是句子的內容往往是文章中某些內容的稞。因此,這種題型不過是把覺的閱讀理解題型的四個選項去掉,只保留其題幹部分,要求考生把不完整的題乾(句子)補全。

二、測試點

完成句子主要是用來測試應試者的閱讀理解能力和對英語辭彙的使用能力,它的測試點與一般的閱讀理解題型的測試點基本上一致。下面我們以全國職稱英語等級考試理工類樣題中的完成句子為例說明命題者是怎樣測量考生這種閱讀能力,並指出如何解答這類問題。

computers can read

computers can solve difficult problems and control the machines which are not simple. many people use small computers called calculators to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers quickly. scientists use large computers to solve many problems at the same time. you can play games with computers, and some computers can help you learn languages. the reading machine is a special kind of computer. it can read books for blind people.

this machine consists fo three sections: a scanner (掃瞄器), a computer, and a vioce synthesizer (合成器). these three parts are like your eyes, your brain, and your voice. the scanner is the "eye"of the machine. it scans, or looks at the words on the page of a book and changes them into signals. these signals then go to the computer, the "brain" of the machine. the computer analyzes (分析)the signals and r***gnizes the words and then sends information about the words to the vioce synthesizer. the voice synthesizer makes the sounds of the words.

to use the machine, a blind person simply opens the book and puts it face down on the scanner. the machine reads the words on the page. when one page is finished, the blind person turns the page and puts the bllk on the scanne
