Today, the social sciences are largely focused on disciplinary problems and internal scholarly debates, rather than on topics with external impact. Analyses reveal that the number of papers including the keywords “environmental changed” or “climate change” have increased rapidly since 2004. (43)
[B]However, the numbers are still small: in 2010,about 1,600 of the 100,000 social-sciences papers published globally included one of these Keywords.
解析:43題是本段最后一句,由此和它關聯最緊密的是它的上一句。上句中nalyses reveal that the number of papers including the keywords “environmental changed” or “climate change” have increased rapidly since 2004. 講的核心詞是number,并且還出現了個新詞匯“keywords ”,而選項B中也出現了number和keywords,和前句構成了上下關聯,故而選之。
第二招:捆綁排序
1.真題回放:(2011年真題)
[A]No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm as the humanities. You can, Mr. Menand points out, become a lawyer in three years and a medical doctor in four. But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree in the humanities is nine years. Not surprisingly, up to half of all doctoral students in English drop out before getting their degrees.
[C] Equally unsurprisingly, only about half end up :with professorships for which they entered graduate school. There are simply too few posts. This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs.
[B]In another case, American archaeologists Rene Million and George Cowgill spent years systematically mapping the entire city of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico near what is now Mexico City. At its peak around AD 600, this city was one of the largest human settlements in the world. The researchers mapped not only the city’s vast and ornate ceremonial areas, but also hundreds of simpler apartment complexes where common people lived.
[D] Surveys can cover a single large settlement or entire landscapes. In one case, many researchers working around the ancient Maya city of Copan, Honduras, have located hundreds of small rural villages and individual dwellings by using aerial photographs and by making surveys on foot. The resulting settlement maps show how the distribution and density of the rural population around the city changed dramatically between AD 500 and 850, when Copan collapsed.
解析:我們從B段的開頭看到In another case,那么,肯定會出現另一個one case,而在D段我們就發現了In one case,所以BD形成了捆綁,并且D前B后,這樣排序時,我們就可以一下子填兩個連著的空格了。
