77、ild-up.”可知,作者支持我们在白天关闭朝南和朝西的窗户的百叶窗或遮帘,或修理遮阳设备以避免热量积聚。可以推断出,作者不赞成白天开着朝南的窗户。故选C。【42题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Carpool.

79、常带有某种倾向性,所以我们在读这种体裁的文章时,要细心捕捉表达或暗示情感态度的单词或短语。学会区分不同的观点,尤其要善于找出作者的观点。我们要注意文中出现的直接引语和间接引语。出现的观点一般是当事人的观点,而不是作者的观点。此类试题的干扰项常具有以下特点:或是自己的某种看法或观点;或是社会的一种普遍倾向;或是与本文无关或与作者的观点或看法相反等。学生容易误选与自己的看法相吻合的选项。如第二小题,根据第八段“Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day, or fix shading equipmen
80、t to avoid heat build-up.”可知,作者支持我们在白天关闭朝南和朝西的窗户的百叶窗或遮帘,或修理遮阳设备以避免热量积聚。可以推断出,作者不赞成白天开着朝南的窗户。故选C。(C)Discoveries in science and technology are thought by “untaught minds” to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents.
