27、Mrs. Patrick原本该作家务，结果去放风筝了。放完风筝以后，内疚的笑然后去家务了。专题讲座阅读理解之推理判断题 About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a filmstudio(影棚)to take part in a crowdscene.Although our“act”would last only for a short time，we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far
28、end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene，setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon，bright lights were turned on and the big moviecamera was wheeled into position.The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.Since i
29、t was hot in the studio，it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him，and soon the trees were covered in“snow”Two more fans were turned on，and a“strong wind”blew through the trees.
30、The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast(对比)The way it was filmed was quite unusual.Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen.An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the w

32、eing film“stars”！1Who is the author?AA cameraman.BA film director.CA crowdscene actor.DA workman for scene setting.2What made the author feel cold?AThe heavy snowfall.BThe manmade scene.CThe low temperature.DThe film being shown.3What would happen in the“three minutes”mentioned in the last paragraph
33、?AA new scene would be filmed.BMore stars would act in the film.CThe author would leave the studio.DThe next scene would be prepared.参考答案CBA本文为记叙文。题材为人物故事类。作者和其他19个人有幸作为群众演员参加电影拍摄，文章记叙了作者的所见所闻。Since it was hot in the studio，it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat
34、 and start walking along the path.since 引导原因状语从句，see sb.do sth.意为“看到某人做了某事”，surprise 在句中为抽象名词具体化的用法，指“令人惊讶的事情”。影棚里面很热，因此当看到一名男演员穿着一件厚厚的大衣沿着小路开始漫步时，我们都觉得很惊讶。推理判断是指在理解原文字面意义的基础上，通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节的暗示，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的深层意义及隐含意义的过程。来源:做推理判断题考生可采用以下方式step1：step2：step3：从整体上把握语篇意义，才能透过字里行间体会作者的“弦外之音”，理解作者的意图
35、和态度。推理判断题不能毫无根据地凭主观臆断做出在原文中找不到根据的推理，也不能妄加猜测，对表面文字信息做多步推理，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。快速阅读全文后，根据题干和四个选项的内容，在原文中找出相关信息，仔细分析，吃透其字面意义，然后对四个选项逐个分析并进行对比，那些对相关信息进行同义改写或综合表达的选项通常是问题的答案。另外，还要结合文章所属话题的背景知识及考生的经验和常识做出合理的判断推理。此外，要特别注意的是选项中经常出现文章的原句，虽然没错，但这不是推断出的内容；还有些选项，推断出的内容离原文意义太远，找不到确切的根据，这些肯定不是答案。
36、阅读理解。The way we do things round here Some years ago，I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started，“Dear John，I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “were kind of pleased you
37、 decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.”Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”， while in British English it means “fairly”So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I dont just mean the words peo
38、ple speak. It is body language，dress，manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures (文化)Some of these differences may be only on the surfacedress，food and hours of workwhile others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it i
39、s just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate (气候)，while getting on with business. Some of the differences may be an improvement.

41、rwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive.

42、t _.A. the American bank didnt think much of himB. the American bank might hire another personC. its difficult to get used to American cultureD. its easy to misunderstand Americans答案：A。推理判断题。由第一段中“That “quite” saddened me”可以推断出作者认为这家美国银行不重视他。2The underlined word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably
43、means _.A. encourages B. helps to narrowC. increases D. draws attention to答案：D。词义猜测题。由下文可知人们做事情的方式引起了作者对文化差异的关注。3According to the author，what should we do with most cultural differences?A.

Do indepth research.答案：B。细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知我们要习惯文化差异并接受存在的文化差异。4When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are_. A. Italians B. Germans C.
