劍橋雅思5：T2P3第32題

在涉及具體題目前，先大致了解下劍5T2P3這篇文章的內(nèi)容，這篇文章標(biāo)題為The Birth of Scientific English, 主要講述了英語在現(xiàn)代科學(xué)中的崛起及各種原因。
　　其中的第32題是一道比較難的無選項(xiàng)summary題，字?jǐn)?shù)限制為2個(gè)。

In Britain, moreover, scientists worried that English had neither the 30 ........................... nor the 31 ........................... to express their ideas. This situation only changed after 1660 when scientists associated with the 32 ........................... set about developing English. An early scientific journal fostered a new kind of writing based on short descriptions of specific experiments.
　　按照summary題的做題步驟，根據(jù)the這個(gè)冠詞可以預(yù)判出之后的空格需要填寫的是一個(gè)名詞。之后劃出定位詞：situation, after1660, scientists和English。由于這里有特殊定位詞1660，一般學(xué)生很容易忽略表示時(shí)間的after從而定位到錯(cuò)誤的in 1660處，但根據(jù)解題順序也可以迅速排除。當(dāng)意識(shí)到after的作用后配合其余幾個(gè)定位詞以及順序原則可以定位到：

Fortunately, several members of the Royal Society possessed an interest in language and became engaged in various linguistic projects. Although a proposal in 1664 to establish a committee for improving the English language came to little, the society's members did a great deal to foster the publication of science in English and to encourage the development of a suitable writing style. Many members of the Royal Society also published monographs in English. One of the first was by Robert Hooke, the society's first curator of experiments, who described his experiments with microscopes in Micrographia (1665). This work is largely narrative in style, based on a transcript of oral demonstrations and lectures.

定位到本段后，大部分同學(xué)會(huì)填寫society，對(duì)比預(yù)判似乎非常相符，然而答案卻是Royal Society.那么如何排除前者呢？其實(shí)根據(jù)the定冠詞的作用就可以了。在英語文章中，如果出現(xiàn)the+N，一般后面的名詞如果前文中沒有出現(xiàn)過就不可以省略N前表示身份或者屬性的修飾詞。而summary題也屬于一篇完整的文章，因此也符合這種行文邏輯。根據(jù)這種冠詞的作用，我們就可以很快的排除society這個(gè)答案了。
