A decision before an answer
- A correct sentence about the writer’s lunch may still need deleting from a paragraph about a bridge inspection.
- Your goal: Determine relevance and rhetorical purpose.
答案前的判断
- 一句关于作者午餐的正确句子，仍可能因与桥梁检查段落主题不符而被删除。
- 你的目标：判断内容的相关性及其修辞目的。
Read the relationship
- English questions assess the passage as a whole. Read the surrounding sentences before judging a local change.
- Organise sentences and paragraphs.
阅读关系
- 英语题目要求从整体上评估文章。在判定局部修改前，请阅读上下文句子。
- 组织句子和段落结构。
A science report needs formal style. Choose:
The second is precise and suitable for a report.
Use the defining rule
- For an add-or-delete question, name the paragraph’s purpose and test whether the proposed detail advances it.
- Choose precise, concise language consistent with tone.
运用定义规则
- 对于添加或删除题，先明确段落主旨，再检验所提议的细节是否有助于推进该主旨。
- 选择精准、简洁且符合语气的语言。
Where should “This device recorded the temperature” go?
This device needs a clear earlier reference.
Check the conditions
- For placement, follow references and time order. A sentence using “this method” needs the method introduced first.
- Choose precise, concise language consistent with tone.
A paragraph explains how engineers inspect cracks. “The team used a camera to record the cracks” supports the method. “The team enjoyed the café nearby” adds no inspection detail and should be omitted. This is a relevance decision, not a grammar decision.
检查条件
- 对于句子排序，请遵循指代线索和时间顺序。使用“这种方法”的句子需要先引入该方法的描述。
- 选择精准、简洁且符合语气的语言。
某段文字解释了工程师如何检查裂缝。“团队使用摄像机记录了裂缝”支持了这一方法。而“团队在附近咖啡馆享受了时光”并未提供检查细节，应予以删除。这是关于相关性的判断，而非语法问题。
A detail unrelated to the paragraph’s goal lacks ____.
The detail must serve the paragraph’s purpose.
Apply the task format
- Concise wording removes repetition without deleting a necessary meaning. Preserve the register and viewpoint of the passage.
- Choose precise, concise language consistent with tone.
The shortest answer is not always correct: it can remove a needed contrast, cause or identifying detail.
应用题目格式
- 简洁的措辞可在不删减必要含义的前提下消除重复。同时需保留原文的语域和观点。
- 选择精准、简洁且符合语气的语言。
最短的答案并不总是正确的：它可能会删除必要的对比、原因或识别性细节。
