牛津高中英语高考七选五提分训练 1—思维训练
一. 段落结构 (通常用于主旨句)
这一思路中最重要的是抓住主旨,明白文章结构。
例:There are three main types of cryptography. ___E____ For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels”
spell out the hidden message “Meet me”.
_______ You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1
to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
