1. [A]Some [B]Most [C] Few [D] All
2. [A]put [B]take [C] run [D] come

For the convenience of explaining the problem, a number is added before each sentence for quick positioning. The first three paragraphs pave the way for the problem, and the last sentence clarifies the main point of this article: the solution to the problem ( a few tricks ). Be careful not to underestimate these three words, because these three words well support the logical structure of the article, or Talking about the thinking model-the total score structure, just like we usually speak Chinese, "Let me introduce a few points to you. When you hear "a few points", your brain will definitely respond instinctively. There must be an explanation of 123 below, otherwise, if there is not, it means that the person’s speech is totally illogical." What's more, the articles for our postgraduate entrance examination are carefully selected by experts, and some unmarginal illogical articles are tested. There is no need, after all, that is not the direction of cultivating talents. Therefore, whether it is a complete type of question, or a question of reading comprehension, or a new question type, whether it is to choose five of the new questions, under the premise that the article is basically understood, the brain must first instinctively react. The macro of this article What is the structure? In other words, does this article have a clearer structure? If so, try to train your thinking in this direction.
Secondly, even if the first three sentences are a foreshadowing, there is a logical relationship inside. The first and second sentences say that the front of the phone belongs to Yang, and the third sentence indicates that the phone’s shortcomings are all due to the battery. It runs, and the battery consumes more power faster than we realize. It belongs to the structure of suppressing and raising first .
Once again, when you see questions with turning meanings such as But, however, yet, etc. in the article, you must enlarge your pupils seven times (original words by Teacher Beihai). Because the turning point must be focused, you must grasp the main contradiction. Similar turning points must be clearly seen through.
"Principle One for the Improvement of Reading Ability and Effectiveness" Establish a macroscopic thinking model, grasp the structure of the article, and avoid grasping the small but not the big, and be able to be big and small, able to be close and far away
☀☀☀☀☀☀『 Knowledge Point Moment』☀☀☀☀☀☀
Knowledge point 1 : Attributive clause
Today we live in a world where GPS systems, digital maps, and other navigation apps are available on our smart phones. If you don’t understand the structure of this sentence, let me split it into the following two sentences. Maybe you’ll compare It's easy to understand.
短句1：Today we live in a world.
短句2：GPS systems, digital maps, and other navigation apps are available on our smart phones in this world.
We live in a world, where "in a world" is a place adverbial. In order to combine the two sentences above, there is the guiding word "where" to guide.
Translation: Today, we live in a world where GPS systems, digital maps and other navigation applications can be used on our mobile phones .
Knowledge point 2 : Double negative means affirmation
The second sentence "Few of us just walk straight into the woods without a phone." is a sentence that expresses affirmation with double negation. The negative words are "few" and "without", which translates to "few of us just walk straight into the woods without a phone." Just walked straight into the forest without collecting." The double negative word few+without, plus the two adverbs just and straight superimpose the effect of triple emphasis, highlighting the "standard" status of the mobile phone. The small words have a great effect and deserve a good taste.
Knowledge point 3 : literally, indeed; truly; without exaggeration
English interpretation: You use literally to emphasize that what you are saying is true, even though it seems exaggerated or surprising.
Until next payday, I was literally without any money. / Until next payday, I really didn’t have any money.
Translation of the first full paragraph: Today, we live in a world where GPS systems, digital maps and other navigation applications can be used on our mobile phones. Few of us would walk straight into the forest without a cell phone. But mobile phones run on batteries, and the battery drains faster than we realize. If you get lost without a cell phone and compass, and you really can’t find North, we have some tips to help you find your way back to civilized society, one of which is to walk along the land.
