例二：Directions: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to the question.
One word that sums up our age better than any other — whether “our age ”is “the technological age” of western countries or the “modernizing age” of China — is the word CHANGE. But has change not always been present? True, but never before at such a breakneck speed. Today it is more than just change. It is unprecedented change. In such a world, reading provides the best tool we have for keeping up and for avoiding future shock in a world continually being remade.
Which of the following is NOT true? (A) Western countries and China are being remade. (B) Reading will help understand our age. (C) The present age and future world are continually changing. (D) Reading is the best tool provided by our age. (A)、(B)、(C)项均与文章中的意义一致，(D)不符。因为文中说的是“Reading serves as the best tool for us.”(对我们来说，阅读可以作为一个最好的工具。)；而不是如选择项(D)所表示的那样：“Reading is the best tool provided by our age.”(阅读是由我们时代所提供的最好的工具)。所以，我们将答案确定为(D)。
例三： The basketball team never lacked vociferous supporters, but they rarely responded to this show of enthusiasm. 文中黑体词they若是指高声呼叫的支持音，则与后面的意思(对这种热情很少作出响应)不合。因此they只能指球队队员。
例四： Scott Fitzgerald, who first introduced him to a publisher, was one of the few contemporary writers that Hemingway did not turn against. 文中黑体him若指的是主语Scott Fitzgerald，则应该用反身代词himself，而不能用him，因此这里只能指后文的〖WT〗Hemingway.
