指代題在托?荚囍蓄}量大約為0-2個(gè),主要考察學(xué)生能否找到原文中代詞的指代對象。解決指代題最基本的原則為:單復(fù)數(shù)與人稱一致,前指且符合句意。
It has been suggested that Pakicetus fed on fish in shallow water and was not yet adapted for life in the open ocean. It probably bred and gave birth on land.
5. The word it in the passage refers to
·Pakicetus
·Fish
·○Life
·ocean
本句代詞作主語,在結(jié)構(gòu)上指代上一句話主句中的名詞主語,即A選項(xiàng)的Pakicetus。也可以采用帶入的方法,將選項(xiàng)逐一帶入,符合搭配的只有A選項(xiàng),其余選項(xiàng),B fish 魚類,C life 生命,D ocean海洋,都無法“bred and gave birth,哺育后代”。
