形容词题
形容词主要用以修饰名词,所以对于选择项为形容词的词汇题,我们首先要找到与该形容词相关的名词,从两者的语义搭配关系入手。
1.如果空缺处形容词位于名词前作定语,则可根据该名词来确定需选的形容词。
2.如果空缺处形容词充当句子表语,则它所修饰的名词即为句子的主语,当根据作主语的名词来确定正确答案。
3.有时,形容词题也可根据其后面的介词搭配或特殊句型来确定正确答案。
例1.Some criminals were printing dollar bills until they were arrested.
A.decent B.fake C.patent D.suspicious
这里,用以修饰dollar bills的只有B.fake(假的、伪造的)。
2.Some children display an curiosity about every new thing they encounter.
