Answer 1

第一步阅读首句：
The method for making beer has changed over time.
我们通过段首句了解这篇文章讲述的是历史上做啤酒的方法。
第二步划分选项词性
A) arrived B) consuming C) direct
D) exclusively E) including F) inform G) raw
H) reached I) relatively J) remains
K) resources L) staple M) suggest
N) surprising O)test
动词：
A) arrived B) consuming F) inform H) reached J) remains M) suggest O) test
形容词：C) direct G) raw L) staple N) surprising
副词：D) exclusively I)relatively
名词：J) remains K) resources
第三步,瞻前顾后选答案
切忌只看空格前后的几个词，我们以典型的几个题为例。
（1）简单的语法判断
Hops (啤酒花), for example, which give many a modern beer its bitter flavor, are a __26__ recent addition to the beverage.
此空在不定冠词 a 后，形容词 recent 前，由此我们可以判断这个空是一个副词。选项中只有 exclusively（专门地，排外地） 和 relatively（相当地） 是副词。结合语义可判断二者中应选 I)relatively.
（2）巧用连词
The majority of the grains, about 80%, were from cereal crops like barley (大麦), andabout 10% were bits of roots, __32__ lily, would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say.
这一题我们注意到，原文中出现了连词“and”。and前后的部分一定是对称的，那么__32__ lily的含义一定和like barley (大麦)相似，是一个举例子的意思。辅以词性判断，就知道这一题的要选“including”。
（3）时间对比
Barley was an unexpected find: the crop was domesticated in Western Eurasia and didn’t become a __33__ food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have __34__in the region not as food, but as__35__material for beer brewing.
在做33题时，通过词性可判断是形容词，但是形容词有4个，这该怎么判断呢？我们注意到这句话里有一个时间2000 years ago。根据时间对比原则,也就是说__33__ food 的意思一定和后面的“not as food”的意思相反。“不作为食物”的反义就是“一种主要食物”，因此我们可以判断这一题选择staple（主要的，基本的）。
