在距离考研还有不到一个月的时间里，很多同学都不知道该如何提高阅读分数，总感觉复习已经进入了“高原期”;还有一部分同学会感觉自己的发挥时好时坏，不知如何应对。针对以上问题，杜老师建议，在这个阶段阅读的复习可以从以下两个维度来进行：一、按题型纵向梳理2005-2017年的真题，总结各题型的各题目做题方法及思路，在此基础上复习高频考点;二、整理高频词、短语、长难句。那么今天杜老师就为大家讲解下阅读中的一个非常活跃的考点­—代词。阅读的五大题型当中虽然没有一种题型是专门考查代词的，但是利用代词的指代还原来解题却是很多题目解题的关键。

　　代词主要分为人称代词、物主代词、指示代词和不定代词，这几类代词当中常考的有it, they, their, such, this, these, that, those, one, another, the other等。在这些常考的词当中有一个比较特殊的是one(双向指代词)。

　　one出现的话有可能会关联到后面的内容—another或the other或and，也有可能关联到前面的内容，通常在前面提到one所从属的整体概念/对象。

　　【例】2005年Text3

　　“Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is ‘off-line.’ And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better.”

　　【精讲】“one leading authority”关联的是上句中的“researchers”，即“one leading authority”从属于“researchers”，前者是“researchers”当中的一个群体。另外，第二个句子也出现了一个代词 “these”，利用代词的指代还原可得知“these intensely powerful mental event”即“dreams”。

　　第31题“Researchers have come to believe that dreams ________.”的初步定位句是这两个句子，而并不仅仅是“Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is ‘off-line.’”这一句。最后将定位句和选项匹配出正确答案，我们发现最终的定位句是后一句。

　　当然，除了细节题之外，推理题当中也常会用到代词的指代还原。

　　【例】2005年Text1第25题

　　What can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　[A]Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.

　　[B]Human indignation evolved from an uncertain source.

　　[C]Animals usually show their feelings openly as human do.

　　[D]Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.

　　【最后一段】①The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions. ②In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. ③Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. ④Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. ⑤Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. ⑥However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

　　【精讲】根据题干可知这是段落推理题，我们优先找到段落中心句“However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.”，通过分析该句可知:“such a sense of fairness”的来源未知，逐一匹配选项可初步确定答案为[B]，但是“such a sense of fairness”是否与[B]选项中的“Human indignation”同义则需我们进一步通过代词“such”的指代向前找到“these feelings”，而“these feelings”也需向前找到其指代的对象“Feelings of righteous indignation”(即：“such a sense of fairness”à“these feelings”à“Feelings of righteous indignation”)，最终确定“such a sense of fairness”就是“indignation”，选[B]。所以，即使不认识“indignation”这个词，也可以通过代词的指代来确定正确答案，而且如果认识“indignation”(愤慨)，不去利用代词的指代还原的话非常有可能将[B]选项排除。

　　代词虽小，却常常成为解题的关键并且活跃在各个题型当中，希望各位同学在复习中培养起对代词的敏感度，重点复习，在考试中无往不胜!
