新东方名师：2006年考研英语阅读7选5真题巧解

　　41题解析

　　原题空格前后两句：For Williams, these activities become what he calls "electronic heroin". (41) ¬¬__________. In 1997 he lost $21,000 to one slot machine in two days. In March 1997 he lost $72,186.
正确选项：(C)By the time he had lost $5,000, he said to himself that if he could get back to even, he would quit, one night he won $5,500, but he did not quit.
分析：这是五题中最简单的一道。选项中的$5,000和$5，500与空格中的$21,000和$72,186都是金钱数字，属于同一范畴概念，由于其它选项中没有任何数字，考生应该很快能看出这个答案。另一层对应是逻辑上的，空格所在的选项句和空格后面的一句其实是用具体的事实数据在描述David Williams的赌瘾越来越大，这正是空格前句中"electronic heroin"（电子海洛因）的解释，属于我们前面总结的解释型逻辑关系。

　　42题解析

　　原题空格前后两句：Noting the "medical /psychological" nature of problem gambling behavior, the letter said that before being readmitted to the casino he would have to present medical / psychological information demonstrating that patronizing the casino would pose no threat to his safety or well-being. (42)________.The Wall Street Journal reports that the casino has 20 signs warning, "enjoy the fun and always bet with your head, not over it."
正确选项：(A)Although no such evidence was presented, the casino's marketing department continued to pepper him with mailings. And he entered the casino and used his Fun Card without being detected.
分析：空格前面一句中的letter一词和选项中的mailings是同义词对应。第二层对应也是同义词的对应：空格前句中的patronizing the casino（光顾赌场）和选项中entered the casino（进入赌场）其实是相同的意思。

　　43题解析

　　原题空格前后两句：Nevertheless Williams's suit charged that the casino, knowing he was"helplessly addicted to gambling", intentionally worked to "lure" him to "engage in conduct against his will"well. (43)_______.The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders says "pathological gambling" involves persistent, recurring and uncontrollable pursuit loss of money than of the thrill of taking risks in quest of a windfall.
正确选项：(B) It is unclear what luring was required, given his compulsive behavior. And in what sense was his will operative?
　　分析：这道题是很明显的同词重复现象：lure和will的重复出现。

　　44题解析

　　原题空格前后两句：The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders says "pathological gambling"involves persistent, recurring and uncontrollable pursuit loss of money than of the thrill of taking risks in quest of a windfall. (44)         .Pushed by science, or what claims to be science, society is reclassifying what once were considered character flaws or moral failings as personality disorders akin to physical disabilities.
正确选项：(F) It is worrisome that society is medicalizing more and more behavioral problems, often defining as addictions what earlier, sterner generations explained as weakness of will.
分析：此题有多层的对应关系。第一层对应为：空格前句的diagnostic（诊断上的）， 选项中的medicalize（医学化）以及空格后面的physical（身体上的）虽然不是近义词或同义词，但很明显它们属于同一范畴，属于医学范畴，因此是同一范畴词汇对应；第二层对应为：选项中的defining as（注意选项中有倒装结构，原结构应该是define...as...）与空格后的reclassifying...as...是近义词表达法，都是表示"归类为，定义为"；第三层对应为：选项中的weakness of will （意志上的弱点）和空格后句中的character flaws（性格的缺陷）是上下义词的关系，前者属于后者。

　　45题解析

　原题空格前后两句：Pushed by science, or what claims to be science, society is reclassifying what once were considered character flaws or moral failings as personality disorders akin to physical disabilities.(45)___________. Forty-four states have lotteries, 29 have casinos, and most of these states are to varying degrees dependent on---you might say addicted to---revenues from wagering.
　　正确选项：(D) Gambling has been a common feature of American life forever, but for a long time it was broadly considered a sin, or a social disease. Now it is a social policy: the most important and aggressive promoter of gambling in America is the government.
　　分析：此题有两层对应。第一层对应是：空格后面的"Forty-four states have lotteries, 29 have casinos, and most of these states are to varying degrees dependent on---you might say addicted to---revenues from wagering."（44个州发行各种彩票，29个州开设赌场，大多数州在不同程度上依赖于赌场收入）是以具体的例子来说明选项中的" Gambling has been a common feature of American life forever"（赌博已经成为美国生活中的一个司空见惯的现象），是上文总结的例证逻辑关系。第二层对应是：空格后句中的revenues（收入）一词是个专业术语，特别指国家政府的财政收入。它与空格后的government属于同一范畴词汇对应关系。

　　从上面的分析我们不难看出2006年的考研七选五真题解题基本都是词汇上的对应关系，其难度远不如BEC的真题，考生只要能熟练掌握上文总结的方法，多做习题，一定能在考试中从容对应，考出理想的成绩。另外，如果07年真题出现的是其它两种被选题型，考生也能灵活运用这些方法去巧解，因为这些题型从测试学的角度讲本质是相似的。最后祝广大考研学子2007年考研一路顺风！
