Rearrange the following sentences so that they read logically. Put the corresponding letters in a proper sequence in the boxes provided below. The positions of some sentences have been given. [A] We generally recognize that future circumstances are somehow caused or conditioned by present ones. [B] Besides,we also learn that such patterns of cause and effect are probabilistic in nature. [C] Thus, students learn that studying hard produces good grades in most instances,but not every time. [D] Humans seem predisposed to undertake this task by using causal and probabilistic reasoning. [E] Practically all people,and many other animals as well,exhibit a desire to predict their future circumstances. [F] We learn that getting an education will affect how much money we earn later in life and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy encounter with a shark. [G] That is,the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are absent—but not always. [H] Sharks,on the other hand—whether or not they reason the matter through—may learn that hanging around the reef often brings a happy encounter with unhappy swimmers. B A D

【题目解析】:本题考查的是段落的连贯性。连贯性和语言表达的形式相关。指的是一个句子能自然的过渡到下一个句子。既指句与句之间的联系,又指整个段落的组织。在一个段落中,句子与句子之间有一种自然的逻辑关系。段落中的每一个句子,都是前一个句子的某种逻辑归宿与承诺,从而使整个段落浑然一体。连贯性包括意连和形连两个方面,前者指的是段落整体内在的逻辑性,后者指的是段落中句与句之间的自然过渡;当然这两者常常是不可分割的。只有形连而没有意连,句子之间就没有内在的有机的联系;反之,只有意连而没有形连,行文就不够流畅。⑴. 意连段落中句子的排列应遵循一定的次序,先写哪一句,后写哪一句,都是有特定的规则的,不能想到什么就写什么。而这些规则也正好为我们去判断一个段落中的各句哪句再先,哪句在后,提供了理论支持。⑵. 形连行文的逻辑性常常要靠适当的转换词语及其他手段来实现段落中句与句之间的自然过渡。这种对转换词的使用就是达到形连的有效手段。本段中,首先确定的是段落的主题句,即:E句。再根据BAD句的已知信息,推断第一个推展句和第三个推展句,既可完成。
