随着炎炎夏日的到来, 同学们的复习进度也正在进行的如火如荼。在英语阅读块面，仔细阅读考研（微博）文章之后, 再来看题目和选项, 相比很多同学都已经发现一个共性，那就是：同义替换。很多题目和选项都或多或少的与原文里的句子有些不大一样，但是意思却基本相同。下面跨考考研英语教研室仇永香老师就2002年文中里出现的同义替换简要跟大家来分享下，希望在以后的阅读过程中注意此类选项和原文做对比, 以提高做题效率。
    
    Text1 是一篇讲述如何在对话中有效使用幽默的文章
    
    1. ：To make your humor work, you should .
    
    答案C：address different problems to different people
    
    定位原文：Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different.
    
    答题要点：既然是细节题,并且出现在第一道,那么应该正确答案理应出现在文章前面段落,并且很可能就是第一段.正确选项和原文之间并非出现词汇的同义替换, 而是换了句型.
    
    2：The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are .
    
    正确答案B：very conscious of their godlike role
    
    原文复现：Who is that? the new arrival asked St. Peter. Oh, thats God, came the reply, but sometimes he thinks hes a doctor.
    
    答题要点：这个题目难度较大, 但是解本题的时候, 除了找到此同义替换局外, 还有一点是关键的, 那就是这个例子出现的背景, 那就是护士对医生有着一致的看法和观点, 并且绝对不是一种好的评价, 所以才会拿来开玩笑. 所以再结合原文, 应该推断, B为正确选项.说明医生很在乎自己上帝般的角色God再次出现。
    
    3： It can be inferred from the text that public services .
    
    正确答案D：have often been the laughing stock
    
    原文定位：You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.
    
    答题要点：the Post Office or the telephone system与public services属于上下义的关系，因此一定程度上属于同义替换, 并且laughing stock与scapegoats如果仔细看这段文字的话, 也会发现, 其实就是同义的表达而已.
    
    4：To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered .
    
    答案D：as casually as possible
    
    原文定位：If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner.
    
    答题要点：先定位, 然后再来分析发现原文中nature, casual, off-the-cuff，relaxed, unforced全都是答案中casually的同义词, 如此之多, 完全可以判定正确选项D。
