插入句子題（Insert Text Questions）與‘修辭目的題’，‘推理題’同為側(cè)重邏輯關(guān)系考察的題目，也就是說，尋找‘被插入的單句’和‘段落中空格前后句’的邏輯銜接關(guān)系，是解決插入句子題的關(guān)鍵。

話題一：插入句子題的識別

插入句子題非常容易識別，最直接的途徑有二：

1. 題目位置：此類題一般都位于每篇文章的倒數(shù)第二題。

2. 四個黑方框。

話題二：解題到底先讀段落還是單句？

看到此類題的命題樣式（即從段落中抽出一句，現(xiàn)在讓我們把該句再放回原處），做題第一步驟無非兩種：先讀段落或者先讀單句。到底哪種才是最合適高效的呢？我們在此詳細(xì)分析。

【先讀段落的同學(xué)觀點(diǎn)】：既然單句是從完整的段落中抽取出來的，那該句被抽走之后就會導(dǎo)致段落被抽走句子的地方，前后銜接出現(xiàn)中斷，于是明顯的銜接不暢；就可以找到該單句應(yīng)放回的位置了。

【此觀點(diǎn)分析】：此觀點(diǎn)貌似合理，但是事實(shí)并非如此。因?yàn)椴迦刖渥宇}一般位于每篇文章倒數(shù)第二題，這一般意味著，此命題段落前面的題目中已經(jīng)進(jìn)行過其他題型的考察（比如前面已針對該段考過細(xì)節(jié)題），然而考生在處理前面針對該段的題目的時候，并沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)段落中有過明顯的語義中斷或者銜接不暢。這說明一件事：被抽走的這個句子，本來就是可有可無的，有了的話，更好的銜接上下文；沒有，也不會覺得有缺失句子。于是，先讀段落查找語義中斷位置的做法一般行不通。

【結(jié)論】：解題第一步，應(yīng)該先讀單句，并在單句中，尋找以下邏輯銜接標(biāo)志。

話題三：詳細(xì)解題思路

【考察本質(zhì)】：此類題型重點(diǎn)考查英文句子間的邏輯語義關(guān)系，即英文中句子與句子是如何銜接在一起的。所以，只要掌握了英語句子間的銜接手法(cohesive devices)，這種問題便可迎刃而解。

【四大銜接手段】：按使用優(yōu)先性和使用頻率排序

1. 代詞類

理論指導(dǎo)：當(dāng)作者再次談及上句相關(guān)話題時，為了避免重復(fù)，遵循語言學(xué)的最簡化原理，作者會用代詞指代前文話題詞。

具體標(biāo)志：

A. 人稱代詞、指示代詞和關(guān)系代詞等

B. 代詞+名詞結(jié)構(gòu)，如this wider possibility

C. 類似代詞（語義中含有‘這’‘那’的詞），如such episodic events，there

Paragraph 3: ■Exhibitors, however, wanted to maximize their profits, which they could do more readily by projecting a handful of films to hundreds of customers at a time (rather than one at a time) and by charging 25 to 50 cents admission. ■About a year after the opening of the first Kinetoscope parlor in 1894, showmen such as Louis and Auguste Lumiere, Thomas Armat and Charles Francis Jenkins, and Orville and Woodville Latham (with the assistance of Edison's former assistant, William Dickson) perfected projection devices. ■These early projection devices were used in vaudeville theaters, legitimate theaters, local town halls, makeshift storefront theaters, fairgrounds, and amusement parks to show films to a mass audience. ■

Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage.

When this widespread use of projection technology began to hurt his Kinetoscope business, Edison acquired a projector developed by Armat and introduced it as “Edison’s latest marvel, the Vitascope."

Where would the sentence best fit?

解析：先讀單句，發(fā)現(xiàn)其中含有‘代詞+名詞’標(biāo)志this widespread use of projection technology，可知在某個空前面，一定有提到‘投影技術(shù)應(yīng)用廣泛’，滿足此條件的只有第四個空前：These early projection devices被用在很多個不同地點(diǎn)，即應(yīng)用廣泛。答案是D。

2. 邏輯關(guān)系詞

由于此類題的考點(diǎn)就在于考察句子的邏輯銜接關(guān)系，所以，明顯的邏輯標(biāo)志詞，將會是很好的解題工具。

2.1 時間關(guān)系

then, next, later, finally, etc。

2.2 因果關(guān)系

so, therefore, consequently, thus, hence , as a result,（+結(jié)果句子）

2.3 轉(zhuǎn)折/正反對比關(guān)系

on the contrary, in contrast, however, but, yet, nevertheless, on the other hand, etc。

2.4 解釋/同理類比關(guān)系

that is, in other words, likewise, same, similarly etc。

2.5 舉例關(guān)系

for instance, for example

2.6 并列/遞進(jìn)關(guān)系

also, again, in addition, another, in fact, indeed

Paragraph 6: ■Because they are always swimming, tunas simply have to open their mouths and water is forced in and over their gills. ■Accordingly, they have lost most of the muscles that other fishes use to suck in water and push it past the gills. ■In fact, tunas must swim to breathe. ■They must also keep swimming to keep from sinking, since most have largely or completely lost the swim bladder, the gas-filled sac that helps most other fish remain buoyant.

Look at the four squares [■l that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage.

Consequently, tunas do not need to suck in water.

Where would the sentence best fit?

解析：先讀單句，發(fā)現(xiàn)句中有邏輯關(guān)系詞標(biāo)志consequently（因此），所以某個空前面一定有原因會導(dǎo)致tunas do not need to suck in water（金槍魚不需要吸水），只有第二個空前的內(nèi)容：‘因?yàn)榻饦岕~總在游泳，只要張開嘴巴，水就被壓進(jìn)來……’才會導(dǎo)致‘水被動壓入嘴巴，不需要主動吸水’。于是答案是B。

3. 重復(fù)話題詞或同義近義改寫（承上啟下）

上下句的銜接也可以通過重復(fù)話題詞實(shí)現(xiàn)，或者是對該話題詞進(jìn)行相關(guān)改寫。簡單來說，被插入的單句，一般句首滿足承接上文，句尾滿足啟發(fā)下文。

Paragraph 5: The Psychodynamic Approach. Theorists adopting the psychodynamic approach hold that inner conflicts are crucial for understanding human behavior, including aggression. Sigmund Freud, for example, believed that aggressive impulses are inevitable reactions to the frustrations of daily life. Children normally desire to vent aggressive impulses on other people, including their parents, because even the most attentive parents cannot gratify all of their demands immediately. ■Yet children, also fearing their parents' punishment and the loss of parental love, come to repress most aggressive impulses. ■The Freudian perspective, in a sense, sees us as "steam engines." ■By holding in rather than venting "steam," we set the stage for future explosions. ■Pent-up aggressive impulses demand outlets. They may be expressed toward parents in indirect ways such as destroying furniture, or they may be expressed toward strangers later in life.

11. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage.According to Freud, however, impulses that have been repressed continue to exist and demand expression.

Where would the sentence best fit?

解析：先讀單句，句首impulses that have been repressed（被壓抑的沖動）一般承接上文，句末continue to exist and demand expression（繼續(xù)存在需要發(fā)泄）一般啟發(fā)下文，于是可見，詞句上承第二個空前面的‘孩子們……會壓抑它們的攻擊性沖動’，下啟第二空之后的‘佛洛依德的蒸汽機(jī)發(fā)泄理論’，故答案是B。

4. 定冠詞the + 名詞

指導(dǎo)理論：名詞第一次被提到時，用不定冠詞a+名詞連接，當(dāng)后句再次提及該名詞時，為了表示它和前一句名詞是同一關(guān)系，會用定冠詞the引出。其實(shí)此類關(guān)系很類似于代詞+名詞結(jié)構(gòu)。

Paragraph 3: Observational assessment techniques have become much more sophisticated, reducing the limitations just presented. Film analysis of the infant's responses, heart and respiration rate monitors, and nonnutritive sucking devices are used as effective tools in understanding infant perception. ■Film analysis permits researchers to carefully study the infant's responses over and over and in slow motion. ■Precise measurements can be made of the length and frequency of the infant's attention between two stimuli. ■Heart and respiration monitors provide the investigator with the number of heartbeats or breaths taken when a new stimulus is presented. ■Numerical increases are used as quantifiable indicators of heightened interest in the new stimulus. Increases in nonnutritive sucking were first used as an assessment measure by researchers in 1969. They devised an apparatus that connected a baby's pacifier to a counting device. As stimuli were presented, changes in the infant's sucking behavior were recorded. Increases in the number of sucks were used as an indicator of the infant's attention to or preference for a given visual display.

13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

The repetition allows researchers to observe the infant's behavior until they reach agreement about the presence and the degree of the infant's response.

Where would the sentence best fit?

解析：先讀單句，發(fā)現(xiàn)句中定冠詞‘the+名詞’標(biāo)志the repetition，于是可知某空前面，應(yīng)該有提到‘某種重復(fù)’，滿足此條件的是第二空前面的study the infant's responses over and over（一次又一次的研究嬰兒的反饋），答案是B。
