2.判断句子与上下文的逻辑关系，

3.一般情况，为上下文的同义词或是反义词

4. 答案选项中找同义词或反义词，然后代入原文理解

答案特点

正确答案的特点:段落某个句子的同义替换或反义替换，而且答案是段落的重复。

例：

 A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners. Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay, and who would make some money and then go home. Between 1908 and 1915, about 7 million people arrived while about 2 million departed. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually returned to Italy for good. They even had an affectionate nickname,”uccelli di passaggio” birds of passage.

26, “birds of passage” refers to those who______

A. stay in a foreign country temporarily

B. leave their home countries for good

C. immigrate across the Atlantic

D. find permanent jobs overseas

26，“birds of passage”指的是哪些人______

A. 在外国呆很短的时间

B. 永远的离开他们的祖国

C. 横穿大西洋移民

D. 在国外找永久的工作

答案：A

题型：词汇题

解析：本题可以根据最后一句话了解，birds of passage 指的是前面的they, they对应的文章理解就可以知道是答案是A。另也可以看选项猜题，A和B是反义，B和D是同义句。如果选项中对应有两个同义句，那么肯定都不是答案，如果对应有反义句，则其中一个必定是答案。
