16、could only have been correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.I think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind of thinking.

36、on earth”可知每个月广告上不停地更换所谓的太平洋上某个岛是“地球上最后的天堂”,由此可推出广告是不可信的,故选C项。72. D考查推理判断。由第三段第一、二句“Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal”可知尼泊尔的例子是用来说明其受到旅游的负面影响。73. B考查推理判断。由第四段后几句“The onetime farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no
37、 longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited.

39、shmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightningbug(萤火虫)But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could
40、 also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity.Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bugshaped car. The bug could also be a burglar al
41、arm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install(安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others conversations.Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant“to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a
42、 flaw in a computer program or other design.That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison.In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product.In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the
43、 two previous nights discovering a bug in his invented record player.”68We learn from Paragraph 1 that _AAmericans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugBGeorge Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugCthe word bug was still popularly used in England in the nineteenth centuryD
44、both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century69What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?AExplanation. BFinding.COrigin.

45、ws of the word bugDthe special characteristics of the word bug【要点综述】 本文是说明文,主要讲单词bug在意义上的发展变化。68D推理判断题。根据“在1785,华盛顿在日记中使用bug”和“在19和20世纪,英国人停止使用bug”,说明这两国人在18世纪都使用过bug这个词。69D词义猜测题。根据“爱迪生把它解释为小问题或困难”可知,fault和flaw意思相近。70B主旨大意题。文章讲述了bug在意义上的发展。阅读理解-3、数据推算。If you register both the VIEW qualification cour
46、se and the Forum at the same time,you will save_ .A.$100 B.$300 C.$350 D.$400 这类题目要求学生就文章提供的数据,以及数据与文中其他信息的关系做简单计算和推断。在做此类题时:1.要抓住并正确理解与数据有关的信息含义。2.弄清众多信息中那些属于有用信息,那些属于干扰信息。 3.不要孤立看待数字信息,而要抓住一些关键用语的意义。来源:学*科*网 来源:学科网ZXXK来源: 考点二、推理推断。推理题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理,推断出作者没有提到或者没有明说的事实或者可能发生的事实。这类题旨在考查学生透过词语
47、的字面意义去理解作者的言外之意或弦外之音的能力,属于深层理解题。此类题的设问常常包括infer,imply,suggest,conclude 等词,这类题的设问方式主要有:1.We can infer from the Passage that_.2.What can be inferred from the Passage?3.Which of the following can be inferred from the Passage?4.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that_.5.The author suggests in this para
48、graph that_.6.The writer implies that_.7.It can be inferred that_.8.It can be concluded from the Passage that_.9.On the whole,we can conclude that_.10.From the text we can conclude that_.11.After reading the Passage we may conclude that_.12.What conclusion can be drawn from the Passage?13.The author
49、 is inclined to think that_.14.When the writer talks about,what he really means is that_.15.Whats the writers attitude/feeling towards.? 16.In the writers opinion,.近年来,高考加大了对学生判断推理能力的考查。判断推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,作出一定判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话,也可能是某几句话,但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据,既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的
50、推理,也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。做题时要注意题干的语言形,如According to the passage.,It can be inferred from the passage that.;It can be concluded from the passage that.等,虽然从表面上看是问有关全文的题,但实际上不用看全篇,仍然只需要根据选项中的线索找到原文中与之相关的一句话或几句话,然后得出答案。针对推理题的不同形,可以采取以下做法:1.假如题干中有具体线索,根据具体线索找到原文相关句(一句或几句话),然后做出推理;2.假如题干中无线索,如It can be inferre
51、d from the passage that.;It can be concluded from the passage that.等,先浏览一下4个选项,排除不太可能的选项,然后根据最可能的选项中的关键词找到原文相关句,作出推理;3.如果一篇文章中其他题都未涉及文章主旨,那么推理题,如infer,conclude题型,可能与文章主旨有关,考生应该定位到文章主题所在位置(如主题句出现处);假如其他题已经涉及文章主旨,那么要求推断出来的内容可能与段落主题有关,如果如此,应该找段落主题所在处;如果不与段落主题有关,有时与全文或段落的重要结论有关,这时可以寻找与这些结论相关的原文叙述。1.定义法。
52、如:Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.句子给予annealing 以明确的定义,即 “退火”。It will be very hard but also very brittlethat is,it will break easily.从后面的解释中我们可以了解到brittle 是“脆”的意思。来源:Z|xx|k.ComThe herdsman,who looks after sheep,earns about 650 yuan a year.
53、定语从句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的词义为“牧人”。2.同位法。如:They traveled a long way and at last got to a castle,a large building in old times.同位语部分a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义,即“城堡”。We are on the night shiftfrom midnight to 8 a.m.this week.两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明night shift 是“夜班”的意思。3.对比法。如:S
54、he is usually prompt for all her class,but today she arrived in the middle of her first class.but一词表转折,因此but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是“她今天第一节上了一半才来”,因此反向推理,可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。4.构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)。如:Perhaps,we can see some possibilities for next fifty years.But the next hundred?possibility 是 possible 的同根名词,据此可以判断定 possibility 意思是“可能性”。 5.因果法。如:The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken.Sometimes the weakness was permanent.So the player could never play the sport again.从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”中,可以推测 permanent 的意思为“永远的,永久”。
