B. attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities。
C. the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years ago。
D. priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities。
(分析：B、D兩項(xiàng)中均有must be,語氣太絕對(duì)化，故一般被排除。考生結(jié)合短文內(nèi)容在剩下兩項(xiàng)中進(jìn)行選擇，命中率就極高了。)
(二)選項(xiàng)中含有不十分肯定的語氣詞一般是正確答案項(xiàng)。這些語氣詞有： can, could, may, should, usually, might, most(大多數(shù))，more or less, relatively, be likely to, possible, whether or, not necessarily 等。

A. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
B. in many countries success often depends on one's social status
C. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries
D. businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America
(分析：選項(xiàng)B中often 一詞，語氣委婉，不十分肯定，故為答案。而其它三項(xiàng)中所表達(dá)出的語氣都明顯絕對(duì)化。)

A. society can't provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduates
B. high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education?
C. too many students have to earn their own living
D. college administrators encourage students to drop out
(分析：答案項(xiàng)C中有have to, 語氣太絕對(duì)化，故被排除。而A項(xiàng)中can't 的語氣則不十分絕對(duì)化，故為答案。)
(三)選項(xiàng)中照抄原文的一般不是答案項(xiàng)，而同義替換的一般是選項(xiàng)。

A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life
B. often neglect the unsequences of sleep deficit
C. do not know how to relax themselves properly
D. can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep
(分析：答案項(xiàng)中A、D兩項(xiàng)基本上是原文中句子的原現(xiàn)，故被排除。B項(xiàng)中有often 一詞，語氣委婉，不十肯定，故為答案。)

(分析：A項(xiàng)句子基本上是原文詞句，C項(xiàng)中有already一詞，語氣太絕對(duì)化，故A、C兩項(xiàng)被排除。剩下B、D兩項(xiàng)，而D項(xiàng)中有不十分肯定語氣詞may not,故選D。)
(四)較全面、有針對(duì)性地表達(dá)文章中心思想的，選項(xiàng)一般是答案項(xiàng)。

C. Folk songs can't be spread for unless they are printed on music sheet。
D. the development of music culture is highly dependent on its material aspect。
(分析：根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可以看出，A、B、C三項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容都只是從某一個(gè)方面闡述了一種觀點(diǎn)，而D項(xiàng)句子所表達(dá)的意思就較全面，高度囊括了全篇短文的主旨。)
