閱讀理解中的排序問題

一、試題特點

1. 通常出現在說明文、記敘文或人物傳記類的文章或段落的理解題中;

2. 多根據事實發生的時間先后排序，有時也按操作程序排序或重要性排序;

3. 屬于事實細節題，只需淺層理解，難度較小，一般從閱讀材料中可以直接找到答案，

但是這種題容易錯，比較耗時間;

4. 題干中含有原文單詞、詞組、句型的轉述，再以a， b， c， d， e， f 等給事件標上序號。

二、技巧點撥

1. 細讀題干，同時要注意題干中的句子往往與原文中的語句并非一模一樣，而是用不同的詞語或句型結構表達相同的意思;

2. 通過尋讀，在文中尋找與a—f對應的信息，并將a—f標注到原文相應位置，可使順序一目了然，也減少閱讀量;

3. 注意年代數詞和表示時間先后關系的詞，如then，after，shortly after，afterwards，after that，before that，in the same year，later，and，next，at last，finally，so等;

4. 根據“首事件”和“尾事件”，利用“排除法”，迅速縮小范圍;

5. 這種題型要求考生要有足夠的信心和細心，因此，心理上要鎮定，找到細節后，速度要稍放慢下來，進行比較，確定答案。

三、實例分析

Thomas worked，first as a waiter，in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought if I owned a restaurant.” he said，“I could eat for free.” A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.

In 1969，after breaking with Sanders，Thomas started the first wendy′s Old Fashioned Hamburgers，in Columbus，Ohio，which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6，000 restaurants world-wide，the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales.

Although troubled by his own experience with adoption. Thomas，married since 1954 to Lorraine，66，and with four grown kids besides Wendy，felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation(基金會)for adoption in 1992.

In 1993，Thomas， who had left school at 15，graduated from Coconut Creek high school in Florid… He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.

73. Choose the right time order of the following events in Thomas’s life.

a. graduated from high school

b. started his own business

c. became a millionaire

d. started a foundation

e. met Harland Sanders

A. e，d，c，b， aB. a，e，c，b，dC. e，c，b，d，aD. a，e，b， c，d

解析:這是一篇人物介紹。解答時，快速尋讀，找關鍵信息，給a—e定位:a 在第4段，b在第2段，c在第1段，d在第3段，e在第1段。找相關信息時，注意題干與原文的表述不一定完全相同，如started his own business 就是原文中Thomas started the first Wend’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers的另一種表達方式。通過第4段可以判斷尾事件是a (學校畢業了)， 這樣就排除了B，D選項。再看c、d之間的時間先后，c(成為富翁) 之后d(成立基金會)，故正確答案C。
