按照该词地址的句子：The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. 这里的意思是，权力下放是为了使英国的各个地域之间能够重建平衡，所以应钙揭捉?C选项。再好比2007年TEXT C 的第三个小题。
Richard’ s behavior as death approached showed
A. bravery and self-control
B. wisdom and correctness
C. devotion and romance
D. chivalry and charity
按照文章第三段对查理死前情形的描述，我们可以看出他能够勇敢而舒适得面临衰亡，将财富分给老友或者是馈送给慈善机构，而且原谅了射杀他的弓箭手。所以D选项是正确选项。解此题的关头在于对于单词chivalry(骑士精神)的把握。
2.大旨题。该种题型首要考绩文章的大意、作品基调、作者立场和目的等。出题形式凡是为：“What does the passage mainly discuss?”, “Which of the following is the more appropriate tile for the passage?”。
3.揣度题。揣度题是按照作者暗示的信息和不雅概念或者是某段/某句的言外之意而提出的问题。这类问题不仅要求考生读懂相关的文章内容，还要求考生能够做出正确的推论。以2007真题中的TEXT A 为例：文章第五小题
According to Dyfan Jones, what has changed is
A. people’s mentality
B. pop culture
C. town’s appearance
D. possibilities for the people
我们可以经由过程文章最后一段的内容：…is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think: We can’t do anything, we’re only Welsh. Now I think that’s changing. ” 推导出来威尔士人心态的转变。所以A应该是正确选项。
再好比，2007年的TEXT C 的第三篇文章的第四个小题：
The point of the last short paragraph is that Richard was
A. cheated by his own successor.
B. determined to take revenge on his enemies.
C. more generous to his enemies than his successors.
D. unable to influence the behavior of his successor
文章倒数第二段提到查理不仅原谅了射伤他的人而且还赠给他一些财物。文章最后却告诉我们，查理归河汉，放箭的人受剥皮酷刑而死，由此我们可以揣度出查理与他的继任者对比对仇敌加倍的宽容大度。所以，C选项为正确选项。
4. 词义题。此种题型用于测试考生对具体词义或指代关系的识别能力。其题干类型经常为：“The word ‘attribute’ in line means…”/ “What does the underlined phrase in line 38 refer to… ” 我们以2007年真题第一篇文章的第二个小题为例：
The word “centrifugal” in the second paragraph means
A. separatist
B. conventional
C. feudal
D. political
该词地址的句子是：…to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union. 从中我们可以看出， “centrifugal” 与“union”相对。所以A为正确选项。
