如何推断后续内容(6)

推断文章后续内容是要求考生根据语篇结构或行文逻辑对文中没有明说的内容进行合理推测，包括推断某一事件可能的结局、下一部分可能涉及的内容、文中人物下一步可能要做的事情等。这类题常见的设问方式有：

(1)The paragraph following the passage will most probably be ________.

(2)Which of the following statement will best continue the first/second/third paragraph?

(3)Which of the following would best complete the passage?

(4)What will the writer probably talk about in the following paragraph?

◆ 技巧点拨

1．把握作者的写作思路。文章可能按照事件发展的经过描写，也可能按因果关系、对比关系来叙述，据此可以对文章的后续内容作出比较科学、合理的推测。

2．把握文章的结构，注意最后一段，特别留意最后几句话。

◆ 活学活用

阅读下列短文，按要求完成读写任务

Recently a man came to me，because he was told that there is fluid(积液) around his heart.After trying many drugs which were of no use to reduce the fluid，the doctor told him the only other choice was to have an operation.He refused because he knew that every illness has a mental cause and that if he had the operation but did not clear the mental cause，the fluid would return.At last，he searched the Internet to find a metaphysical healer(玄学治疗师)，and he found me.

The mental cause of his disease was an experience of breaking up five years ago with several friends，whom he had known for over twenty years.This experience broke his heart.Not knowing how to “mend” his broken heart，his body created a “repair” by surrounding his heart with fluid to protect it from the sad feelings.

Our work focused on reminding him of the feelings of being loved and forgiving

his friends.Months later，his hearts was mended and the fluid disappeared.He left my office after the final session with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.

The key is：to create a healthy body，you must be healthy not only in body，but also in mind.

To be mentally healthy，you need to build up strong relationships.Creating strong relationships will insure that you are accompanied by a network of loving persons.It is important for building a support system that lifts your spirits.Even when you are alone，you will not feel lonely or upset.Strong relationships are not spaceships——they are not hard to build.

2．The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refers to

Nick’s guests, 5 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason a man would sell salt 6 a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect 7 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.” “But such a small thing couldn’t 8 ( possible ) destroy a village.” “In the beginning, there was only 9 very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 10 ( think ) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.” 2012广东高考真题 Mary will ever forget the first time she saw him.

Not only that, many cities are already full of traffic, and many country areas have rough roads. So 1 do people travel those distances that are too far to walk? They use public transportation. If you ride the subway or bus 2 you live, you can appreciate some of the benefits of public transportation. With many people 3 (share) one bus or train, there is less traffic and, more 4 （importance）, less pollution. Which of the types of mass transit 5 (describe) below are you familiar with? If a regular bus can hold dozens of people, imagine what a bus 6 (two) the size can hold! In Great Britain, there are many buses that are known as double-deckers (cars with two floors). Buses in Haiti are often very crowded. It’s not 7 (common) for passengers to actually sit on the rooftops. Buses are sometimes called “tap-taps”, because the 8 (ride) on the roof tap（敲击）when they want to be dropped off. Many large cities around the world take advantage of the space beneath the streets and run underground trains. People in Paris, Mexico City and Tokyo may use the subway system to get to school, to work, or to visit friends in other 9 (neighbor). Both the Japanese and French have developed High-speed trains to link various cities. While electric trains in North America average 130 kph, the French TGV (high-speed-train) is the world’s fastest, 10 (average) over 270 kph! Passage (2) Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships 1 (belong) to some European nations in the seventeenth century. These nations were 2 (little) interested in changing it into a colony than in 3 (explore) it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English 4 set up the settlements in Australia. This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well. Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich 5 soil. It was on the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward 6 (move) took place 7 because the English were searching for better land than the population was increasing. Settlements of the west part of both countries developed quickly after gold 8 (discover) in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later. Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some 9 (strike) differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, 10 (like) the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States.
