二、代词指代题
(2019·全国Ⅱ,A)
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they’re also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami
It’s about two sisters—Eri,a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping,and Mari,a young student.In trying to connect to her sister,Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets. Gone Girl Gillian Flynn
There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.

一、题型解读
代词指代题常出现在人物或事物变换多,动作转换频繁的语境中,考生应根据语境判断人称代词、不定代词和指示代词。有时也会考查定语从句中关系代词的指代内容。设问形式常有: (1)What does the underlined word “this/it/them/which...” refer to?
(2)The underlined part “it/that/they/which...” in Paragraph...refers to “ ”. 二、解题技巧——“就近原则”判指代 第一步:明确代词所指代内容的位置
代词永远出现在原词之后,故代词所指代的内容在这一句的前面一句中,或者前几句中。 第二步:熟悉代词的含义 (1)it/this/that可指代一件事。
(2)it/he/them/they/one/those指上文提到的人或物。
(3)which/that/who等关系代词指代其所修饰的先行词,非限制性定语从句中which可指代前面整句话的内容。 第三步:替换核实再比较
(1)用所找的指代内容替换画线代词,核实句意是否合理,前后内容是否一致。 (2)比较所代部分与选项,确定意思最接近的选项。
例如:【真题感悟】中第21题。由标题My Favourite Books以及第一段内容可知,文章是以Jo Usmar的口吻进行写作的。故C选项正确。

(2019·南通高三检测)
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is an inspirational true-story film based on a memoir—an
9account
of the author’s personal experiences—by the Malawian engineer William
Kamkwamba.As a teenager,Kamkwamba built a wind turbine for his famine-stricken town in Malawi,helping to power small appliances and 6eventually irrigate crops.11Though the film points toward that technological breakthrough,it spends much of its running time depicting(描绘) its hero’s community and avoids many of the damaging languages that tend to accompany pop-cultural description of poverty or conflicts in African countries.
This approach is what makes the movie,much more attractive than other such docu-dramas.Chiwetel Ejiofor,an English actor,is making his 7feature appearance as a writer and director to draw attention to Kamkwamba’s story—but he’s just as focused on depicting the boy’s family life and the dangers of farming in the early 2000s Malawi.Famine isn’t just a thing that happens to the Kamkwambas.It’s the result of a series of unpredictable 8catastrophes that trickle down to this small village and leave its people struggling to grow and sell food.By examining the many structural reasons for the town’s crisis,Ejiofor makes Kamkwamba’s achievement feel better-earned from a narrative(叙述的) perspective.
The Kamkwambas are not lacking in food,at first,though they do live harvest to harvest.Soon,a series of dramatic floods,combined with government unrest(动荡),begins to take a toll on (have a bad effect on) their life.Through it all,William shows his gift for invention,taking apart whatever machines he can get his hands on and figuring out how they work.In one crucial (and cleverly written) scene,some local teenagers beg William to fix their radio so that they can listen to a soccer game,and he does,making use of a battery from several drained power cells.As
