引用语推理模式
其形式:The author used the phrase “ ”to illustrate “ ”?本种题型解法可根据这个词组的上下文,再综合词组本文进行推断,但不要从词组表面含义推理。
例7:By than time, three giant figures who had invented the new twentieth-century dance were dead: Sergei Diaghilev, Anna Pavlova, and Isadora Duncan. Their era ended with them, and their dance values nearly disappeared. Their colleagues Michel Fokine and Ruth St. Denis lived on in America like whales on the beach.

(A) good swimmers
(B) physically large
(C) out of place
(D) very sick
答案:(C)
提示:词组的表面意思是“象躺在沙滩上的鲸鱼”这时你可能会联想鲸鱼冲上海滩自杀的情景,推断如果只到这一步,而脱离原文的话,答题就很可能错,选项D正是这类干扰项,因此,你还得结合上下文进行分析才能正确。前文说:随着二十世纪舞蹈的三位创始人的辞世,他们时代也随之而结束,那么他们舞伴搭档失去了舞伴而无法施展他们的才结,像鲸鱼躺在沙滩一样,奄奄一息。
