以2016.3US第11題為例：

This lifestyle also gives them the abilityto search farther and in more diverse locales than other organisms in the huntfor food, reproductive opportunities, and optimal environmental conditions. 

At this point, the writer is considering adding the followingsentence.

Because conditions vary both form region toregion and over time within a given region, not all environmental conditionsare equally optimal.

Should the writer make this addition here?

A. Yes,because it makes an important exception to the claim in the previous sentence.

B. Yes,because it highlights the difficulties of living both in the rest of theparagraph.

C. No, becauseit contradicts information presented in the rest of the paragraph.

D. No, becauseit provides a weak conclusion to the passage by digressing from the main point.

全文主要在講mudskippers彈涂魚的雙呼吸模式對(duì)于其生存的幫助，這句話與文章內(nèi)容無關(guān)，因此要?jiǎng)h掉，No的兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)中C有contradict，排除，答案為D。

以2016.3US第15題為例：

The illusion is a powerful one, but theexhibit offers more than just fantasy: careful attention to these remarkableitems reveals the physical realities behind the legends of medieval Europe.  

At this point, the writer is considering adding the followingsentence.

In fact, the museum has an extensiveselection of items from around the world, from early American muskets to theskill, horsehair, and leather uniforms of Japan’s Edoperiod and the Turkish curved swords known as scimitars.

Should the writer make this additionalhere?

A. Yes,because it provides additional relevant information about the items displayedin the gallery.

B. Yes,because it highlights the extent of the museum’scollection of arms and equipment.

C. No, becauseit distracts from the passage’s focus on the armor ofmedieval Europe.

D. No, becauseit undermines the writer’s claim that the exhibitreveals historical realities.

全文討論核心內(nèi)容是armor，因此該句提到的博物館的一系列展品屬于無關(guān)信息，因此刪掉。D有undermine排除，答案選C。

2016.12US第33題為例：

These studies have shown that floating islands are successful at curbing the effects of polluted runoff.

At this point, the writer is considering revising the underlined portion as follows.

runoff and that more communities should embrace this practical solution to the problem of our diminishing wetlands.

Should the writer make this revision here?

A. Yes,because it clarifies the environmental problem that has made the development off loating islands so important.

B. Yes,because it strengthens the conclusion of the passage by recommending a courseof action that follows logically from the argument.

C. No, becauseit introduces a new perspective on floating islands that does not belong in the concluding sentence of the passage.

D. No, becauseit assumes that the reader is directly affected by this issue.

題目問該非完整句是否要添加，因?yàn)槭欠峭暾?，?dāng)然要選yes。因?yàn)榉峭暾渫ǔ６紩?huì)對(duì)文章中已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)的信息進(jìn)行解釋或者補(bǔ)充，所以一般都是有用信息，因此留下。本題A選項(xiàng)說該句清楚表述了使得發(fā)展浮島變得如此重要的環(huán)境問題，但是這句話并沒有說具體什么環(huán)境問題，因此選擇B。

再來看2017.3US第43題

He rallied sixty four prominent Americans to sign a petitionasking US government to award him unlimited funds to build broad acre.

At this point, thewriter is considering revising the underlined portion as follows.

Americans, including artist Georgia O’Keeffe,philosopher John Dewey, and playwright Thornton Wilder

Should the writer make this revision?

A. Yes,because it strengthens the claim made in previous sentence by naming some ofWright’s supporters.

B. Yes,because it provides insights into what kinds of professions were considered tobe influential in Wright’s day.

C. No, becauseit does not demonstrate that the people listed were prominent during Wright’stime.

D. No, becauseit does not list any prominent architects as Broadacre supporters.

增加的部分是非完整句，留下。AB中選擇。美國(guó)名人的列舉就是為了對(duì)之前提到的Americans具體解釋，所以選擇A。

以2016.11Asia第23題為例：

Software allows text and other visual artifactsto be archived andsearched. They can also be adapted, and interactive programs help readersengage with texts and with each other in new ways.

Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at theunderlined portion?

A. archived andsearched; while works can also be adapted

B. archivedand searched, and besides being adapted,

C. archived,searched, and adapted; however,

D. archived,searched, and adapted, and

該題只把兩句話交界處的幾個(gè)詞劃線archived ... and, 因此根據(jù)套路選最短，D符合。當(dāng)然，需要把選項(xiàng)帶入原文驗(yàn)證語意是否符合要求。

再來看一道2016.12US第25題

Floating islands are wetland replicas. They are constructed on basesof durable, buoyant materials.

Which choice most effectively combines thesentences at the underlined portion?

A. replicas;these are constructed

B. replicasconstructed

C. replicas:these islands are constructed

D. replicas;they constructed them

劃線部分仍然處于兩句話交界，最短選項(xiàng)為B。語意符合原句，constructed on修飾replicas。

看完了以上內(nèi)容，大家一定意識(shí)到應(yīng)考技巧很重要，但是，考場(chǎng)心態(tài)也不容忽視。在這里嚴(yán)肅提醒大家：考試時(shí)高度集中精力。

考試過程中，同學(xué)們會(huì)不自覺得陷入這樣一種思維中：閱讀部分難度大，我一定要特別專注。65分鐘的閱讀考試結(jié)束后，進(jìn)入語法部分，同學(xué)們可能會(huì)默默長(zhǎng)舒一口氣，精神上容易放松下來，語法部分不像之前那樣大腦活躍且緊張。但是！大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)！語法知識(shí)點(diǎn)考得非常細(xì)節(jié)，并且語法更有可能沖擊高分，因此要更專注！語法考試過程中要不斷給自己“要專注”的心理暗示。

同學(xué)們考前要記得過一遍錯(cuò)題集，熟記小妙招，預(yù)祝大家取得理想成績(jī)！

另外，之前4天TD給大家?guī)淼腟AT閱讀題和數(shù)學(xué)的解題邏輯和技巧也一同為大家送上，考前來學(xué)一波答題技巧吧！
