资源描述

1、阅读理解题型专讲专练【细节理解题】做细节理解题时,大多数学生易出现的问题就是阅读速度太慢,缺乏一定的快速阅读技巧,考生要培养自己快速获取信息的能力。解答此类试题时,不必通篇细看原文,而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法,先从问题中抓住关键性词语,然后以此为线索,运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句,仔细品味,对照比较,确定答案。除了运用扫读法外,还可以兼用排除法,将“无此细节”和“与此细节相反”的选项排除。要快速地辨认和记忆事实或细节,就需要恰当地使用查阅的方法及技巧。查阅是在读者对材料有所熟悉的情况下进行的,它的特点是带着问题去寻求答案,它往往与略读综合使用。第一招直接细

2、节理解题答案与原文挂钩,在文中可直接找到答案,但往往与原文中的语句并非一模一样,而是用不同的词语或句型结构表达相同的意思。间接细节理解题需要通过有关词语和句子的转换,利用主要事实、图表、图形来获取信息,然后利用因果、类比、时间、空间等关系将零碎的细节经过一系列加工、整理,方能做出正确的判断,此类试题在高考中占大多数。其常见命题方式有:1、特殊疑问句形式。以what, who, when, where, which, how much / many 等引出的问题;2、是非题。通常以true / false, not true / false 提问以及以according to the text

3、开头;3、填空题。通常涉及与主题有关的事实和细节;4、就文中数字、排序、识图等提问。第二招 略读材料,大概了解全文,掌握其中心或主旨。第三招 按文章的体裁,如记叙文、说明文和议论文等及作者写作的组织模式和有关的信息词,如for example, first, second 等预测应该到何处寻求自己所需要的事实。段落的组织形式常见的有时间型段落、空间型段落、列举型段落、例证型段落、程序型段落和对比型段落等。如时间型段落和空间型段落要凭借表达时间和空间的信息词按时间和空间的组织形式进行查读,寻找有关细节。第四招 将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上,快速通篇跳读,眼睛自左至右,自上而下呈Z型扫读,直到找

4、到含细节句子时,就要放慢速度,仔细核对、比较内容,直至找到答案。第五招了解细节题干扰选项的特点也能有助于提高答题的正确率。一般情况下,干扰项有以下五个特点:是原文信息,但不是题目要求的内容;符合常识,但不是文内容;与原句的内容极为相似,只是在程度上有些变动;在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反;部分正确,部分错误。值得一提的是,有时原文中的信息可能只是一个短语甚至一个单词,因此需要我们阅读中格外仔细才能捕捉到真正有用的信息。【试题分析】1、直接信息理解题细节的直接辨认不要求读者对客观的事实作出解释或判断,只要求从阅读材料中直接获取信息。同时还要求读者记住重要的细节,在必要的时候(做判断、推论或结

5、论的时候)能准确而迅速地将他们回忆起来。解此类题要求考生快速抓住关键信息,直接得出答案。有时需要词句意的转换理解,将获得的信息用同义或近义的形式复述出来。NMET设计了许多这样的同义转换理解题,具体的要求是为阅读材料中某些词汇、短语及句型找到正确的释义。例如: The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respecte

6、d and that any disputes can be settled.In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the worlds most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Money Fund.The system of global rules for international trade, however, da

7、tes back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was formed after World War II.As time went by, is became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks-the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes. After seven years of tra

8、de talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round finally give birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property.Even after seven years of talks and 22, 500 pages of agreements, there were still problems, espe

9、cially the difficulty to deal with areas of agriculture and services, which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000, The WTO, with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.总述:本文主要介绍了世贸组织的演变过程,即由最初的关贸总协定,到后来的乌拉圭回合谈判,到1995年1月1日成立的世贸组织,其演变经历了大半个世纪,使其成为世界上最大的国际经济组织。45.

10、 From the passage we know that the GATT stopped working _.A. soon after World War II ended B. a little more than 50 years after World War II C. just in the year 1994 D. seven years before the Uruguay Round talk46. Compared with the GATT, the WTO _.A. didnt pay enough attention to services and intell

11、ectual propertyB. got its members to sign the agreements more easilyC. has got to many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectivelyD. can do better to settle disputes in more areas of international trade47. In the new century the WTO will _.A. take the place of the World Bank and In

12、ternational Monetary FundB. have more members and settle more problemsC. make complete new rules in every area of international tradeD. have new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property本文后的这三个题都是细节理解题。其中45题,由文第五段中,After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Urugu

13、ay Round finally give birth to the WTO作为原句,因此先C。 46题仍由文第五段原句complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property。可以看出选D。 47题问的是“在新世纪,世贸组织将如何?”由文中第六段最后一句The WTO, with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to

14、join.可知选B。【猜测词义题】第一招利用上下文语境线索上下文线索猜测词义任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的,都跟句子所在的段落及整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索,进行合乎逻辑的综合分析而推测词义,是阅读过程中的一大关键,也是高考的热点。如:If he thinks he can invite me out, he is all wet. I dont like to be with him. A. drunkB. sweatingC. happyD. mistaken 根据I dont like to be with him我们感受到说话人的语气。我不愿意跟他在一起,那么

15、,他要邀请我出去是不可能的 他就大错特错了。因此答案D。练习: (1)A deaf and dump guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails. (2)The climate of the west coast is the most moderate in Canada, summers are cool and fairly dry and winters are mild, cloudy and wet. Even in mid-winter, the temperature is usually above freezin

16、g. (3)All the houses in the city collapsed during the earthquake. (4)For people who live within a stones throw from the office to be late to work is unforgivable. (5)The conflagration was so fierce that with just a few second one could see towering flames where the house had stood and the smoke whic

17、h filled the sky could be seen for miles and miles. 答案:(1)五金店(2)温和的(3)坍塌(4)一步之遥(5)大火灾(6). Charlottes tale was inspired by the girls coin collection. “Weve collected foreign coins for years-since our families went on holiday to Tenerife,” she explains. “That was before the Euro, so we put pesetas in.

18、”The underlined wore “pesetas” in Paragraph 2 is a kind of _.A. story B. collection C. inspiration D. foreign coin分析:本题正确答案为D。由原文中的Euro(欧元,欧洲统一货币)可推知该词是一种在欧元发行前使用的钱币。(7). In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the worlds greatest mathematical 17th century,

19、the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique.Which of the following best explains the meaning of the wo

20、rd “baffle” as it is used in the text?A. To encourage people to raise questions. B. To cause difficulty in understanding.C. To provide a person with an explanation.D. To limit peoples imagination.分析:本题正确答案为B。 从短文中对Fermats Last Theorem一书的介绍中有the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical

21、minds一句,句中两个并列的谓语动词baffled 和beaten ,意义相同,加强语气,从beat的本意就可以猜测出baffled 为“使(某人)困惑,难倒”。(8). Today when many tend to worry more about their own happiness, Houngs deeds remind us of what we usually neglect: love and care for others. Without these, none of us could survive. Houng turned down donations from

22、others. He said he felt encouraged by kind offers, but he could depend on his own work. 42. The underlined word “donation” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. invitation to give a speech B. something, especially given to help othersC. questions asked by interviewers D. chances to be a hero分析:由本段可以看出:

23、洪家里很穷,但他拒绝别人对他的“donation”,他说他很感谢人们好心的馈赠,但他能够靠打工的钱来养活自己和妹妹,由此可以判断出donation和后文的offer,是近义词,也是馈赠之意。因此选B。第二招利用定义和解释性线索根据定义或解释猜测词义阅读文章中的有些生词尤其是新闻报导及科普类文章中的生词,往往在其后有对该词进行解释说明性的短语或句子,如to be, that is , mean, stand for, namely, to refer to, to mean ,in other words等,有时也以同位语、定语从句的形式出现,或用破折号、括号来表示。1. 直接定义:如果生词是句

24、子或段落所解释的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。 如: In slang the term jam constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation. 根据上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是 “困境”。 定义句的谓语动词多为:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, refer to, be called, be known as, define, represent等。2. 同位语:构成同位关

25、系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号、冒号、分号、引号和括号等。需要注意的是:同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say, ie. 等副词或短语出现。 3. 定语从句:定语从句有时起着解释和说明的作用,据此我们可以推断出所修饰词的含义。如: The herdsman,_who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year. 定语从句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的词义为“牧羊人”。(2010年四

26、川师大附中高三模拟题) You should never put a cotton swab or other object into the ear canal. But you can use a swab or cloth to clean the outer part of the ear. The experts agree with the old saying that you should never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.()What does a “swab” mostly probably mea

27、n?A. something soft, small and used in clinicsB. something hard, long and used at homeC. something thin, wet and like an elbowD. something safe, big and like a toy 【答案及解析】A根据But you can use a swab or cloth to clean the outer part of the ear. 可判断or后面的名词cloth与swab是同位关系,据此可以判断swab是一种用来清洗耳朵等部位的棉制或布制的医药用

28、品,即“棉签”。如:Some ships carried cargo such as coal, oil and military supplies(军用物资),while others carried only passengers.分析:such as后所列举物品均为“货物”,由此推断cargo的意思相同,和后面的passengers形成对比。练习(1)Yet, shopkeepers may have to spend extra hours to deal with problems, such as shoplifter, who always take away things fr

29、om the shop without paying for them.(2)The best football, basketball and tennis players can become professional that means they will have a career in sports and will get money when they play. (3)Kleptomania is an illness of the mind that gives a person the desire to steal. (4)The word “lefty” means

30、a person who uses his or her left hand for writing, eating and other jobs.(5)Doctors recommended that everyone exercise every day, particular those who spend many hours doing sedentary activities like reading, typing or sewing. (6)A person who has the SARS (非典型肺炎)may have symptoms like coughing and

31、a high temperature. (7)(2011湖南卷C篇) The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian el

32、ephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists. 67. The underlined word “divergence” in paragraph 4 means “_”. A. evolution B. exhibition C. separation D. examination 答案:(1)商店里偷东西的人(2)职业的(3)盗窃癖(4)左撇子“的”(5)久坐的(6)症状(7)思路点拨:C文中divergence of the two species指代前文the African Savanna ele

33、phant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species, divergence与distinct同义替换,对应选项C。(7)1. The elder learn to master the Internet and to overcome what Lansdale calls the maladies of the institutionalized: loneliness, helplessness, boredom, and lose of memory.分析:根据句意,maladies of the instit

34、utionalized应和后面的解释意思相同,综合后面的内容可得知其意为:“(老年)综合症”。(8). Some ships carried cargo such as coal, oil and military supplies (军用物资),while others carried only passengers.分析:such as 后所列举物品均属“货物”,由此推断cargo的意思与之相同,和后句中的passengers形成对比。(9). Scientists grow large quantities of common mould (霉菌)so that they can get

35、 penicillin from it in order to make antibiotics, that is , substances that kill germs. 分析:从that is 后的解释可看出antibiotics 是一种能杀死细菌的物质(抗生素)。(10). Marine biology, the study of oceanic plants and animals and their relation, has furthered the efficient development of fisheries.分析:从marine biology 后的同位语可知,ma

36、rine biology是一门研究海洋动植物及其关系的学科。(11). Yet, shopkeepers may have to spend extra hours to deal with problems, such as shoplifter, who always take away things from the shop without paying for them.分析:从后面的定语从句解释可看出,shoplifter为在“商店里偷东西的人”。第三招利用因果关系在句子或段落中,若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系,我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。如: Tom is consi

37、dered an autocratic administrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others. 根据原因状语从句的内容,我们可以推断出生词autocratic指“独断专行的”。因果关系的语境,通常由because, so ,therefore, so that, so / such that 等连词体现。1. Answer the following questions by using the information taken from a dictionary page. jazz:

38、 1. n. a type of music that originated in New Orleans and is characterized by rhythmic beats. 2. n. popular dance music influenced by jazz. 3. n. slang. Empty talk. 4. adj. of or like jazz; a jazz band, jazz records.What does the word “jazz” mean in the following sentence?Dont give me that jazz, for

39、 I am a practical person.A. Rhythmic beats. B. A type of music. C. A kind of dance. D. Meaningless talk.分析:本题正确答案为D。从后面的原因for I am a practical person可知,说话的人说自己是一个讲究实际的人,因此,他或她让对方不要说空话。2. The biggest power failure happened yesterday. All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted.分析:melted “溶化”。既然停电,必然

40、造成冰激凌和冷冻食品的“溶化”。3. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each other out of the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.分析:colla

41、psed“瘫倒”。经过一番艰难脱险之后,他们呼吸短促,咳嗽不断,最终“瘫倒”在草坪上。第四招利用反义词或反义关系有的文章作者为了增强表达效果,会用一对反义词揭示事物的不同点,形成鲜明的对比,这时只要把握其中的一词,就不难推出另一词的含义,这种句子多见unlike, although, but, yet, while, on the contrary, on the other hand, for one thing, for another, intead of, rather than等信息词。如: Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I k

42、now. His brother, in contrast, is quite humble and modest. 该例中supercilious对许多人来说可能是个生词,但是句中短语in contrast(相对照的,相对比的)提示我们supercilious和后面词组humble and modest(谦卑又谦虚)是对比关系。分析出这种关系后,我们便能猜出supercilious意为“目空一切的,傲慢的”。 再如:One idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite

43、 the reverse, business polite, life itself is games which we must normally play with very imperfect information.A. Quite right. B. Time enough. C. Most unlike. D. Just the opposite.分析:由前句中perfect information到后面imperfect information这一组对比关系的词,我们可以推断应为“对比、相反”的意思。如1. Most of us agreed; however, Gary dis

44、sented.2. He is homely, not at all as handsome as his brother.答案 1。 不同意 2。 不英俊3. “Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills cant be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.”The underlined word “cultivated”(Paragraph 1) roughly means _.A. encouraged B. compared C. examined D. developed分析:本

45、题正确答案为D。 从上句的对比可知,领导能力不是swallowed down,而是慢慢培养的。4 One idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse , business polite, life itself is games which we must normally play with very imperfect information.Which of the following can be used in place of “q

46、uite the reverse”?A. Quite right. B. Time enough. C. Most unlikely D. Just the opposite.分析:由前句中perfect information到后imperfect information这一组对比关系的词,我们不难推断应表示“对比、相反”的意思,因此答案应选D。5. Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. But no one panicked, We passed the time telling stories.分析:被困在电梯中,应该是“慌张”,“不安”。But

47、引出转折,“我们讲故事消磨时间”,因此panicked应为“慌张、惊恐”之意。6. Unlike the Unite States where many different nationalities make up the population, Japans population is quite homogeneous.分析:文unlike表明日本和美国在人口组成方面不同,由此可见,homogeneous与many different nationalities 意义相反,即of the same nationality,“单一民族的”。第五招利用同义线索和同等关系同义词替换可以为我们推

48、测词义提供明显的语境线索。一些常见的引出同义词的标志性词语有similarly, like, just as, also, as well等。如: Green loves to talk, and his brothers are similarly loquacious.该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间为类比关系。以此可以推断出loquacious词义为“健谈的”。同等关系是指一个词、一组词或短语在句中作同一成分,而且他们的词义属一范畴。只要我们认识其中一个或几个词或短语,即可确定同等关系中生词的词性,作用和大概意思。在句子或段落中

49、,我们可以利用熟悉的词语,根据语言环境推断生词词义。如: Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank, and he did not want to jeopardize his future. 作者为避免重复使用endanger一词用其同义词jeopardize来替代它,由此推知jeopardize词义为“使陷入危险,危及、危害”。 1. 我们

50、可以根据上下文与生词密切相关的句子,对生词进行合情合理同时合乎上下文语境的推测。我们也可以根据生词后举出的有关例子进行适当归纳,猜测生词的词义。例如: You can take any of the periodicals:_The World of English, Foreign Language Teaching in Schools, or English Learning. 根据下文举出的英语杂志名称可知,periodicals是“期刊”之意。根据上下文及生活常识猜测词义 2. 有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。例如: The sn

51、ake slithered through the grass. 根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识,我们可以推断出slither的词义为“爬行”。(2010年湖南省六校联考) But sometimes I just feel loath to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.()The underlined word “loath” in this parag

52、raph has the closest meaning to _.A. unwilling B. eagerC. pleased D. hurt【答案及解析】A根据后面的语境“我宁愿安静地独处,不愿意去听这些闲言碎语”,可见作者“不愿意”与这些人说话。故loath是“不愿意”之意。练习1. Millions of animals die each year on US roads, the Federal Highway administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat exist i

53、n the US today. The main reason? Roadkill.分析:从后面的同谓语an endangered wild cat可知“ocelot”是一种野生猫。2. mansion, church, battle site, theatre and other public halls can be preserved.分析:句中mansion应和church, battle site, theatre and other public halls 的词义同属“建筑物或场所”这一范畴。3. We should, therefore, learn to choose our

54、 words carefully and use them accurately, of they will make our speech silly and vulgar.分析:句中vulgar应和silly 意义相近,“粗俗的,庸俗的”。第六招利用例证性线索 某些冷僻的词汇后会举一个例子,使词汇具体易懂。Such as, like, for example, for instance等连接性词语往往用来列举说明前面较难理解的名词。1. You can take any of the periodicals: The World of English, Foreign Language T

55、eaching in School, of English learning.分析:通过后面的举例:英语世界,中小学外语教学,英语学习,说明periodicals为“期刊杂志”。2. Many United nations employees are polyglots: Mr. Simpson, for example, speaks five languages fluently.分析:通过例举Mr. Simpson一人通晓五国语言,说明许多联合国雇员都是“通晓多国语言”。第七招根据构词法 阅读中常会遇到一些由所熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词,可利用构词法知识来推测其意思。教学大纲已经明确地将

56、构词法列在语法附表中,因此利用所学构词法生成的词不应被认定为生词。英语单词的构成方法主要有三种,即复合法、派生法和转化法。英语单词大多是由词根、词头(前缀)、词尾(后缀)所组成。词根是单词最基本的部分,表达单词的基本含义。在词根前头或后头加上前缀或后缀,可以用来引申或转变原词的意义。只要我们掌握了各种词根、词头、词尾的基本含义,那么就可以很容易地猜测所构成的新词的含义了。中学英语中常见的前缀和后缀有: 根据构词法来猜测词义super(超), inter(在之间), able(能的), mini(极少的,微型的),micro(极微小的), re(再,反复), sub(分支的,底下), co(共同

57、), post(后), pre(前), trans(超越;转换), under(在之下;低于;不足), hood(状态;性质;时期), ish(如的;有点儿的); proof(防的;不能穿透的), scope(景), ship(身份;资格;权力;性质), some(易于的), wards(向), mis(误;恶), un(不;非), in(不;非), im(不; 非), dis(不), non (不;非),less(不;无), anti(反;防), sino(中国)。如: He fell into a ditch and lay there, semiconscious,_for a few

58、minutes. 根据词根conscious(清醒的,有意识的),结合前缀semi(半,部分的,不完全的), 我们便可猜出semiconscious词义“半清醒的,半昏迷的”。(2010年广东华南师大附中高三综合测试)Sharks are among the few animals in the world that almost never get cancer and eye cataracts. Understanding why can help us improve human health. Chemicals extracted from shark cartilage have

59、 killed cancerous tumors in laboratory animals, a research that someday could help prolong your life. ()The underlined word “prolong” in the paragraph means _. A. save B. protect C. lengthen D. improve【答案及解析】C可根据构词法来判断词义。prolong 是个派生词,前缀pro是“支持,亲”之意,long是“长”之意,故可判断prolong是“延长(寿命)”的意思。代词that/it/they/

60、them所指代的内容多在这一句的前、后句中(特别是前句),或者前几个句子中,找到指代的内容后把它放在那个代词的位置上,看看这句话是否合理,与前面的内容是否一致,然后再判断它是否为正确答案。判断代词的确指对象1. Exhibition officials said that a person bitten by one of these snakes would need at least 80 ml of an anti-poison medicine to be saved.分析:anti-poison是由poison加前缀anti-构成的,anti-意思是“反对、排斥、抵抗 ”,由此可猜出

61、anti-poison是“解毒、抗毒”的意思。2. Although simplified Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters in the complex form.分析:simplified跟simple是同根词,带有-ed显然是过去分词形式的形容词。许多年以前我们采用了什么跟“简单”有关的汉字呢?不难想到是“简化的”汉字。第八招注意熟词生义英语中大量的词汇具有多义性,其含义并非完全等同于词典所标

62、注的汉语意思,具体的词义需要在一定的上下文中体现出来。阅读理解中的熟悉词生义比生词本身的障碍要大得多。原因有三:其一,高考对生词的数量有量的规定,不得超过3%;其二,熟悉词生义很容易引起考生的误解;其三,熟悉词生义的数量没有限制。如果这种现象在一篇文章中出现得多,那就更难理解了。下题中划线的词可换为:1. New York, 10 November, 5:27 p.m.,yesterday. Biggest power failure in the citys history.A. enough B. not passing C. lack of D. lack分析:本题正确答案为D。fail

63、ure是fail 变来的名词,有“失败;失败者;失败的事”的意思。本句power failure可翻译为“停电”。再如:crop failure“庄稼欠收”;heart failure“心力衰竭”。2. A bike tour and race will be held in August 26 and 27. At 5:30 a .m. , the riders will leave Tianan Men square and ride the first 35 kilometers as a training lge . Then the next 55 kilometers from Y

64、anjiao to Jixian, will be the first competitive part for the tour.A. race B. practice C. part of the training D. part of the tour分析:本题正确答案为D。从first 35 kilometers可看出,自行车赛车手从天安门出发,开始的三十五公里作为赛程的一部分,从后句legwill be part of the tour也可确定答案为D。第九招根据常识或经验猜测词义在阅读中碰到生词时,我们有时可以运用逻辑推理能力、自身的生活经验及生活常识去推断生词的含义。当然也要结合

65、语境。1. Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.The underlined phrase “mopping up ” in the second paragraph means _.A. cleaning up B. taking in C. wiping out D. giving up分析:本题正确答案为B。由常识可知,雨林可以“吸收”空气中CO2。所以mop up 意为“吸收、吸纳”,故选B。

66、另外根据下文Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tones of CO2 each year 也可推知答案。2. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took a mop . She pushed past the desk and as the nurse looked up. Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floor.” 分析:从文中可看出,母亲用mop从桌子前面擦过去,还说了一句“地板真脏”。不言而

67、喻mop的词义是“拖把”。第十招利用词性转化1. The most important reason for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors battled nature with the basic tools they had.分析:此处picture为动词,“使脑海中出现图画”即“描绘”.在理解原词的基础上,分析它的新词性,并结合原词含义发挥便理想象,从而概括抽象出它的新词义。2. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways-educa

68、tion, medicine, and business.The underlined work “aging” means _.A. counting the number of years someone livesB. the numbers of years someone livesC. becoming olderD. making someone looking older分析:本题正确答案为C。我们熟悉的是age作名词用时是“年龄”的意思,而此处是作动词用,意思是“老化”。【主旨大意】这类题主要是测试学生对一篇文章或一段文字的深层理解程度及在速读中准确把握文章主旨大意的能力。一

69、般针对某一语段或某一语篇的主题标题或目的设题。常见的设题方式有: 1) Which of the following best describes the main point of the passage? 2) What is the writer trying to tell us? 3) Which of the following is the best title for the passage? 4) The purpose of the passage is. 5) The main (general) idea of the passage is. 6) The passag

70、e is mainly about. 7) What is mainly discussed in the passage?这类题通常围绕一个中心思想展开,一些文章一开头便展示出文章的中心思想,第一段常常是内容的梗概,同时又表达了中心思想,也有一些文章的中心思想贯穿全文,并没有用一句话明确表达出来,这就要求学生学会归纳概括。每个段落往往也由一个主题句或几个陈述句构成,它们在句中的位置不同,有时在开头, 首先点明本段大意; 有时在结尾, 总结本段大意。 做这类题,首先要找出文章的主题句。找出文章的主题句,也就明确了文章要讲什么,再通过速读全文,就可以把握文章的中心思想了。 主题句在整个语段中起着

71、通领全段的作用,其它句子都是用来阐述、解释、支持或发展主题句所表达的主题思想的,其位置一般位于段首,也见于段尾或段中。 另外在许多文段中,设有可以概括全段意义的主题句,必须根据文章中所提供的事实细节,进行全面分析,然后归纳成一般概念。但必须注意,既不能以偏概全,也不能在概括时过于宽泛,要恰如其分。 这就需要进一步加工概括了。第一招在许多情况下,尤其在阅读说明文和议论文时,根据其篇章特点我们可以通过寻找短文的主题句来归纳出文章的主题。主题句在文章中的位置通常有三种情况:开头、中间、结尾(含在开头结尾同时出现、首尾呼应的主题句)。因此仔细阅读这类文章或段落的首尾句是关键。做主旨大意类试题多采用浏览

72、法。浏览时,一般不需逐句浏览,只需选读文章的首段、尾段,或每段的首句和尾句。重点搜索主题线索和主题信息。有些文章的主题句或者说“文眼”出现在文章的最后,此类文章往往以列举事实开头,通过论证,最后阐述核心观点,或者引用某个人的话印证自己的观点,以此归纳文章的主旨大意,所以有时要找出这样的信息,从中提炼标题或归纳大意。例如:河北唐山市高三第二次模拟考试题E篇:In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive

73、. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, it doesnt actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned,

74、 the variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem was that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in fixed way. Thus freedom of choice may be important, there i

75、s usually very little that can be done to create it .Another important consideration is how much each worker contributed to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines

76、 rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we do something about.To what extent more money led to greater productivity

77、? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more

78、 interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.59. In this passage, the author mainly talks about _.A. how to make the workers contribute moreB. possible ways leading to greater productivityC. to what extent more money leads to greater product

79、ivityD. how to make workers jobs more interesting分析:本文就如何能使工人们的工作效率得到提高而进行讨论。根据作者文中所提到的观点,就工人们的工作效率问题专家们提到了很多不同的观点,如使工作多样化、给工人们更多的自由时间、使工人们意识到自己工作的重要性以及增加工资等等,而作者的观点是尽可能地使工作更有趣,以吸引工人的兴趣,从而达到提高生产效率的目的,因此59题的正确答案应该是B,即提高工人们工作效率的措施的方法。第二招抓住文章段落大意,概括中心思想寻找整篇文章的中心思想是建立在寻找具体段落中心的基础上的。各段落中心的整体归纳便是文章的中心思想。在

80、这个过程中,考生们不能只依据只言片语,或光看文章的某一些段落,而应该观察全文的结构安排,理解文章的重点,考虑文章中材料及支撑性细节是服务于什么的,分析故事的发展结局都是围绕什么中心来安排的。最后用简明扼要的文字将文章的中心思想表达出来。即不能以偏概全,也不能在概括时过于宽泛,要恰如其分。例如:Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think its a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curio

81、us chatterbox, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, of in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong-minded

82、enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, “Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years time?” You are not. You think there are maybe some important news or messages for you . I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Havent you ever rushed drip

83、ping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only unable for outgoing calls. Besides you will say, isnt it impo

84、rtant to have a telephone in case of emergency-illness, an accident, or fire? Of course you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England, one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that wha

85、t I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances-If you were a business VIP, for instance, or a bed ridden person-I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi driver, I should find a car essential.Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to

86、 show particular talent. One is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better a

87、nswer it .After all, one never knows, it may be something important.41. The passage is mainly about _.A. that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone callB. that important message will reach you sooner or later C. whether its necessary to answer all telephone callsD. whether it is necessary to

88、have a telephone分析:文章每一自然段的主题句分别是:1. Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think its a pest and a time waster. 2. but in a thickly populated country like England, one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity. 3. I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by tr

89、ying to prove that what I like is good. 4. Let me put it another way. 都是围绕是否有必要拥有电话而展开的,作者的观点很明确,就是没有必要拥有一部电话机,因此本题应选D。第三招抓住文章主线和关键词语,归纳文章中心要注意不是所有的段落都有主题句,有时主题句暗含在句中。阅读这样的文章,就需要自己根据文章的细节来分析,概括出段落的主题,从而推导出文章的主旨。分析的方法是:先弄清该段落主要讲了哪几方面的内容,这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系,然后加以归纳形成主题。如:Tom Brennan was working in a Philadel

90、phia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasurea 120-page diary dept 190 years age by Deborah Logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James Green, the libra

91、rian told the magazine American Libraries.Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington. D. C in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubl

92、ed days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man and praised her excellent English.The adventure of the lost book began on September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered

93、 to be the best home for the diary.Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to real

94、ize that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck, “Ive felt sick since then” Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green on one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building.Tom Brennan received a reward of 1,000, Phil

95、adelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “Its wonderful news. Im on high.”51. This article mainly tells about the story of “_”.A. A lost diary B. Deborah C. Cory Luxmoore D. The Library Company分析:解题时必须首先理顺文章时间顺序:1. Deborah Logan kept a 120-page diary 190 years a

96、go.2. Cory Luxmoore delivered the diary to the library Company.3. James Green, the librarian, had the diary in his possession about five minutes.4. Cory Luxmoore left the diary in the taxi.5. Tom Brennan noticed a black bag which contained a book (the diary).从以上的时间顺序中,可以清楚地看到5个时间段内所发生的事情均与the diary有

97、关,它就是贯穿全文的主线,故此题应选A。【文章的标题】标题位于文章之首,用来高度概括文章内容,点明文章主题。它是段落中心思想的最精炼的表达形式,它的特点是:短小精炼,多为一个短语;涵盖性强,一般要求能覆盖全文,其确定的范围要恰当,即不能太大,也不能太小,恰如帽子,太大能遮了眼睛,太小则发挥不了应起的作用且风一吹必跑;精确性强,不能随意改变语言表达的程度及色彩。它可以是单词,短语,也可以是句子。标题可帮助读者迅速推测出整篇文章的主要内容,抓住文章讨论的中心,把握作者的观点和意图,那么如何选择文章的标题呢?第一招要在阅读原文的基础上,仔细考虑这句话或短语与文章主题是否有密切的联系;再看它对文章的概

98、括性或覆盖面如何;然后要注意题目是否过大或过小,要避免下列三种错误:概括不够(多表现为部分代整体,从而导致范围太小);过度概括(多表现为人为扩大范围);以事实、细节替代抽象的大意。要恰当地选好标题,还需要了解标题的基本拟定方式。一般来说,标题的拟定方式是:以话题为核心,与控制性的概念词按一定的语法浓缩为概括句意或中心思想的词组。例如:2006石家庄市高中毕业班第二次模拟考试题C篇People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly up and do

99、wn Americas main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldnt forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a womans funeral. I didnt expect the

100、event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact I remained unmoved.Then her teenage grandson stepped forward. With his first very deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught

101、 me. She never failed to see light in any situation. If our family dog should attack her, what would Nana say?” “Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has!” That was Nana.“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in the city. But she was the

102、 one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpas career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nanas way.”Through a sob, he continued, “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, youd have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never the one to

103、 brag.”Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nanas way, and I hope I can carry on in the asme manner.”There are no hearts as sensitive

104、 as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with the teenagers is that they havent learnt to be controlled.When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had truest ally and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the o

105、pen where could no longer hide in the calm ritual. He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.All over again we felt those pow

106、erful losses crisscrossing our own hearts. As we know, when you say goodbye to a beloved grandparent, you say goodbye to something happy, something young in yourself, and even if something never really returns, the pain never really goes away.52. Which of the following might be the best title for th

107、e passage?A. A Moving Funeral B. Are Teenagers Always Light-hearted?C. Teenagers Are No Good D. A Teenager And His Grandma分析:本文通过作者在一个葬礼上所看到的一位少年对其祖母的感情的表白,来说明青少年并非总是玩世不恭,因此本题正确答案应该是B,用疑问句作为文章题目更能引起读者的深入思考。第二招有些文章,比如记叙文,主题思想不是通过一两句话就可以表达的。这时就需要阅读全文,抓住关键字眼或主要论题来归纳文章主题。例如:河北省保定市高三模拟试题A篇“Jingle bells,

108、jingle bells, jingle all the way” goes the popular Christmas tune. With the song in my head, I felt a bit sorry for myself. Instead of rushing back and forth across a freezing school campus, I could have had a cozy Christmas dinner at home or enjoyed the fabulous fireworks lighting up campus at nigh

109、t. But this Christmas would not be celebrated as usual.One month ago, all six girls in my dormitory (including me )had made detailed plans for a more-exciting-than-ever Christmas holiday. But one day we received an unusual mission: we were asked to organize a party that would be a fund-miser for men

110、tally disabled children from the hospital. The children would perform on stage while volunteers offered food to the spectators and collect some money for the organization.Naturally, we were supposed to support the ideas wholeheartedly, and we did. But the date of the show was set right on Christmas

111、Eve! This meant that all our original Christmas plans would have to be set aside.However, we took the plunge into preparations for the party. We spared no effort in organizing, designing, propagandizing, making contacts with the potential sponsors, negotiating and so on. We went through thick and th

112、in and finally made it, though with a bit of reluctance.Finally, Christmas Eve arrived. As I dragged myself into the auditorium, I discovered the notes of a beautiful Christmas song that immediately filled me with happiness. I looked to find the source of the song it was a group of children singing

113、on stage. Though disabled, they appeared extraordinarily earnest and sincere in front of the audience. Everyone attending was deeply moved by the sight. People wanted to donate some money or show their support. The performance earned recognition and respect from all of us.At that point, I found that

114、 all I had done in the one-month time was worthwhile. And all my classmates who had been participating in this Christmas party shared the same feeling: getting the true meaning of Christmas and receiving the love from one another.41. What would be the best title for the text?A. Christmas on stage B.

115、 An unusual ChristmasC. Christmas party D. Volunteers for disabled children分析:本文是作者通过自己的一次圣诞晚会的经历,来表达他本人的心理变化。在圣诞节前的一个月里,作者和其他同学被安排为精神残疾的孩子组织一场圣诞晚会,作者心里很不情愿,所以在排练时敷衍了事,但当晚会开始时,他们听到了残疾孩子的合唱后深受触动,他们这时才觉得他们的这次圣诞活动非常有意义。文章中没有明确的主题句,但通过阅读我们可以理解到本文始终贯穿的一条主线就是“一个非同寻常的圣诞节”,所以这就是文章的主题,故本题选B。【推理判断】推理判断题要求考生在爱

116、理解原文的基础上,根据文章所阐述的事实死结和上下问的按时及线索进行综合分析,然后进行判断,引申或得出合情合理的结论。因此,考生不仅要掌握文章的表层意思还要理解其深层的内涵,不仅要掌握已言明的观点和倾向,还要获得字里行间的信息。 此题目难度大,涉及面广,如人物的性格、心理、故事的结局、寓意,文章的出处、体裁,作者的倾向、态度等。考生因找准文中提供的相应的文字信息,特别是关键词语,把握作者的观点、态度或写作的目的,借助上下文的逻辑关系来判断,并能领悟文字的弦外之音。也可以借助常识或文化背景来判断。推理题在提问中常用的词有: infer, imply, suggest, indicate等。 推理判

117、断常见的命题方式有: We can infer from the passage that the author _. The main purpose of the survey is to _. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage? What would the author probably discuss in the passage that follows? The underlined sentenced in the second paragraph implied that _ The passage is p

118、robably taken from a _. 因此,常见的推测题有:一、写作意图推测题: 此类题型要求考生根据文章的论述,推测作者的写作意图及应用某种写作手法的目的。作者一般不直接陈述自己的意图,而是通过文章所提供的事实,客观地使读者信服某种想法或意见。这类题型不仅要求考生能理解文章的内容,而且还要具备对作者所阐述的问题及写作手法进行归纳总结和分析的能力。例如: Earthquake may rightly ranked as one of the most disastrous forces known to man: since record began to be written do

119、wn, it has been estimated (估计) that earthquake-related deaths have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related loss has been beyond calculation The great majority of all earthquake occurred in two particular areas in history It is doubtful that man will be ever be able to control earthquak

120、es and get rid of their damage altogether .But as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur. Q: The authors purpose in writing the passage probably is to _. A. inform the reader B. entertain the re

121、ader C. support a theory D. question a theory 分析: 文章第一段介绍地震给人类造成的危害,第二段分析地震频发的地方,第三段分析地震预防方面的前景, 因此可以推断写作目的不是娱乐,也不是就某一理论提出质疑,而是给读者提供一些信息,教育读者。答案是A。二、态度、观点判断题: 作者的态度、思想倾向是指对作者陈述的观点是赞同、反对还是犹豫不决,对记述和描写的人、物或事件等是赞扬、同情、冷漠还是厌恶、憎恨。作者的这种思想倾向和感情色彩往往隐含在文章的字里行间或流露于修饰的词语中。因此,在推理判断的过程中,因特别注意作者的措辞。例如: Why isnt you

122、r newspaper reporting any good news? All I read about is murder, bribery and death. Frankly, Im sick of all the bad news. Q: The authors attitude towards the newspaper reporting is to _.A. complain B. apologize C. amuse D. inform 分析: 作者一是向读者说明这份报纸上只刊登不好的新闻,如凶杀、行贿、死亡等,二是在字里行间流露出自己的抱怨情绪,故最佳答案是A 。三、逻辑结

123、论题: 此类题是严格根据文中所陈述的事实、论点进行推理,得出合乎逻辑的结论,而不是根据自己的经验、态度、观点或爱好去理解文章的内涵。要首先获得短文的主题思想或列举的事实,然后按要求判断。例如:Just as crying can be healthy, not crying holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering can be bad for physical (身体的) health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood p

124、ressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, dont fight it. Its a natural and healthy emotional response (反应).61, It can be inferred from the text that _.Athere are two ways to keep healthy B

125、crying does more good to health than laughingCcrying and laughing play the same rolesDemotional health has a close relationship to physical health (D)四、预测推断题:有些题目要求考生根据语境对可能出现的结局或下段可能涉及的内容等进行预测推理。做这类题目应把握作者的写作思路,从而作出比较科学的预测。例如:With the past in mind, preparations for 2006 season included sweeping cha

126、nges on both the technical and personal sides. The management at Toyota Motorsport GmbH was restructed, with John Howett moving from Toyota Motor Marketing Europe to become President, thus enabling the company founder, Ove Anderson, more time to concentrate the operation of the race team at the trac

127、k. Andersons value as an inspirational leader was one of the teams biggest asserts(财富) in 2005. Q: What will the next paragraph talk about if the passage goes on?A. Preparations for the 2006 season. B. The value of Ove Anderson C. How to improve the European market? D. Changes on technical side分析:本段

128、第一句介绍球队备战2006赛季经历了技术和人事安排上的巨大变化,紧接着陈述集体的人事安排,因此,下问应介绍技术层面的变化,所以,正确答案是D。五、细节推断题 要求学生根据语篇关系,推断具体细节,如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件、具体信息等。判断推理是一种创造性的思维活动。但它并非无章可循。 推理判断题要在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上,掌握文章的真正内涵。要吃透文章的字面意思,从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索,这是推理的前提和基础;要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工,由表入里,由浅入深,从具体到抽象,从特殊到一般,通过分析、综合、判断等,进行深层处理,符合逻辑地推理。要忠实于原文,以文章提供的事实和

129、线索为依据。立足已知,推断未知。例: (2011江苏卷B篇)Your National Park watchdogAttractionsDo you:Love the National Park,value it and hope to safeguard its future?Wish to see the beautiful landscape of the Park protected?Like to enjoy peaceful,informal recreation within the Park?Aims The Friends organization aims are to h

135、ies第二段第一句We keep an eye on planning applicationssuch as massive leisure complexes.可以推断出选A是Friends organization所不支持的,为正确选项。考生做题时一定要整体理解语篇内容,在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁,透过字里行间,去把握作者的“弦外之音”。首先,考生在阅读时,要抓住文章的主题和细节,分析文章结构,根据上下文内在联系,挖掘文章的深层含义。在进行推理时,一定要仔细阅读短文,千万不可脱离原文,仅凭个人的看法主观臆断。其次,对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件中的因

136、果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析,进一步增强理解能力,抓住材料实质性的东西。第三,在解答推理性问题时,应清楚所要解答的问题需要针对某个细节进行推断,还是针对主题思想、作者的意图进行推断。针对细节的推断可运用canning的方法,迅速在材料中确定推理依据的位置或范围,然后再进行推理判断。针对主题思想作推断时,其解题的主要依据是文章的主题思想,然后再分析句子之间的逻辑关系,区分观点与例证(opinion and fact)、原因与结果(cause and effect)、主观点与次观点(main idea and supporting idea)。第一招

137、抓住特定信息进行逆向或正向推理做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息,即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断,利用逆向思维或正向推理,推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。第二招 整合全文(段)信息进行推断做推理题时,有时需要在弄懂全文意思的基础上,整合与题目有关的有用信息,综合起来去推理判断,确定最佳结论,忌“见树不见林”。例如:2005北京卷E篇Brain-injured boy set for 1.75m payoutA YOUNGSTER who was knocked off his tricycle by a serious brain injury is set to be awarde

138、d 1.75 million.Fourteen-year-old George Currie, from Dalkeith was living in County Durham with his parents Allister and Paula at the time of the accident in September 1993.George, who was then three years old, was riding his small tricycle along the pavement(人行道)when he lost control and swerved (突然转

139、向) on to the road into the path of an on-coming taxi.The drivers insurance(保险) company has now accepted responsibility for the accident and New Castle County Court is expected to rule on the payout on Monday. TOP 10Florida counties with the most accidents in 2004:1. Monroe (98) 2. Palm Beach (65) 3.

140、Pinellas (64) 4. Broward (59)5. Miami-Dade(54) 6.Okaloosa (34) 7. Orange (24)8. Bay (22) 9. Lee (21) 10. Collier (21)Boating accidents reduceLee and Collier counties tied at No. 10 for boating accidents in Florida in 2004, an improvement for both.But because the counties remained in the top 10 among

141、 Floridas 67 counties, safety continues to be a concern, officials said. Teens react to new law on driving permitLawmakers may hope to make teenage drivers drive more safely, but tome local teens behind the wheel feel angry following the passing of Senate Bill 36 last week.SB 36 is a law that limits

142、 times new teen drivers can drive and the number of passengers they can carry.

143、research body said Wednesday.The figures have led experts to form an international roadsafety network to choose the most important research areas, inform policy makers and help develop ways to prevent accidents, particularly in poor nations.75. Which passage would give more intormation on the preven

144、tion of road accidents?A. B. C. D. 分析:此题需要综合全文信息进行判断推理。Passage “Brain-injured boy set for 1.75m payout”报道了被一辆出租车撞成严重脑伤的孩子等待了漫长的十年才得到赔偿的消息。文中没有提及防范交通事故的信息。排除选项A Passage “Boating accidents reduce”报道了boating accidents 的情况与road accidents 无关,故淘汰B项。Passage “Teens react to new law on driving permit”报道了十几岁的

145、司机对新驾照法的反应,并没有提及road accidents,排除C项。Passage “road accidents take costly toll”先报道了世界上每年交通事故所付出的惨重代价(traffic accidents kill more than one million people each year, injure tens of millions more and cost developing countries twice as much as they receive in international aid, the leader of a research bo

146、dy said wednesday)然后专家建立一个国际道路安全网络去选择重点研究的地区,最后通知决策者找出防止交通事故发生的有效方法(the figures have led experts to form an international road safety network to choose the most important research areas, inform policy makers and help develop ways to prevent accidents, particularly in poor nations)故选D。第三招 利用语境的褒贬性进行信

147、息推断几乎每篇文章的语境都有一定的褒贬性,这种褒贬性反映了主人公的特定心理和情绪状态及作者的写作意图,因此利用好文章的语境褒贬性及变化的标志性词汇或句子对我们掌握文章主旨大意,了解主人公的心理特点及发展变化,从而正确地进行逻辑推断很有好处。例如:2006浙江金华十校高三联考试卷E篇Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the pas

148、t the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will end war, or war will end man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons(核武器) that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded i

149、n stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by talking in accordance with agreed rules of law.

150、 It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.Some people hold completely false attitudes towards how to prevent war. In fact, they are willing to go to war in support of them. However the movements of the world opinion during the past two years has changed very lar

151、gely such as we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course, very difficulit problems remain in the international world but the attitude towards them is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful man who decide

152、 whether we shall leave or die, that agreements should be reached, even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be west, but between man and the bomb.56. from the first paragraph we can know that _.A. we may face greater threat from weaponsB. chemical weapons

153、are less dangerous than nuclear weaponsC. mans idea of victory has changedD. dangerous weapons are forbidden in modern society58.The author believes that the only way to stop war is to _A. stop nuclear weapons B. settle international problems through agreementsC. get rid of bacteriological and chemi

154、cal weaponsD. let the stong side take over the world60. which of the following words can best describe the authors feeling in writing this passage?A. disappointed B. doubtrul C. worried D. hopeful分析:本文介绍的是关于战争问题,作者说从6000多年前人们开始了第一场战争起,战争一直与人类历史并存,近年来随着着细菌武器,生化武器的不断升级和发展,人类的生存受到了前所未有的威胁和挑战,然而在作者看来,战争

155、还是有可能会终止的。而以上的三个阅读理解理解都是属于推理判断题,尤其是第60题,要理解作者写这篇文章是怎样心情,我们必须要在阅读时注意作者所使用的一些有暗示意义的词句,如第一段最后一句“it is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.” “it has become a common belief that nuchlar was must be avoied ” “ but the attitude towards them is a better one than it was s

156、ome year ago”等可知,作者对于战争的态度是忧心忡忡而又对其结束充满希望。文章的第一段先提到现今对人类生存威胁最大的是核武器,而后又说不久以后细菌武器和生化武器都将威胁人类的生存,由此可推断出人类将会面临越来越多的危险的战争武器,因此56题选A。纵观整篇文章,尤其是第二段中可知国际间的合作协议在制止战争中起着非常重要的位置,故58题选B。60题选D。第四招 根据文章的结论推断作者的态度作者的态度、倾向是指作者对陈述的观点是赞同、反对还是犹豫不定,对记叙或描写的人、物或事件等是赞颂、同情、冷漠还是厌恶、憎恨。作者的这种思想倾向和感情色彩往往隐含在文章的字里行间,或流露于修饰的词语之中。

157、因此,在推断过程中,应特别注意文中作者的措辞,尤其是表达感情色彩的形容词。做这一类题时一定注意: (1)由表及里地准确把握字里行间的意思,不能主观臆断,凭空想象,随意揣测,更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。 (2)特别注意那些描写环境气氛的语言,以及表达感情、态度观点的词语。要体会文章的基调,揣摩作者的态度,悟出作者的弦外之音。 (3)能结合自己平时积累的有关英语国家的文化传统、风俗习惯等背景知识来识别评价。人物性格、态度及观点判断题例:(2011江苏卷A篇)We know the famous ones the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham

158、Bells but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? Shouldnt we know who they are? Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that

159、shes developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to McLean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportun

160、ities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would

161、 have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York

162、City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still

163、wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper. Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovation

164、s. Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgans traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?56. By mentioning “traffic light”and “windshield wiper”,

165、the author indicates that countless inventions are _. A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous D. not useful, though their inventors are famous【思路点拨】生活中离不开小发明,鼓励年轻人要善于把握发明的契机,推动社会的进步

166、。 56. B观点态度题。根据第一段but 处:but what about the less famous inventors? What about windshield wiper?可以得出结论。这些人的发明不是很有名,确实是非常有用的。答案为B。 第五招根据上下文的逻辑得出结论逻辑结论是指严格根据文章中所陈述的事实、论点、例证等一系列论据材料进行推理,从而得出合乎逻辑的结论,而不是根据自己的经验、态度、观点或爱好去理解文章的内涵。做这类题时应把握作者的写作思路,预测下文可能发展的内容。文章可能按事件发展的经过描写,也可能按因果关系,对比关系来描写。必须注意的是:1、读者不可根据自己的主

167、观臆断毫无根据地下结论;2、所得结论必须符合作者的意图。例如:NMET2000E篇66. According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will _.A. serve the interests of the present and future generationsB. enable us to better understand humans historyC. help us to improve farming D. make life worth living分析:首先作者提出自己的观点:However, mos

168、t of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted so why bother even to try imagining life far in the future?然后提出正反两个次要观点去论述:First unless we remember how shout our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than t

169、hey really are. Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagining life far in the future we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves(take action right away)(to make the world a better place in which to live).由第二个次要观点可判断上题答案为A。第六招 结合已有的知识进行推断知识推断是根据文章中所阐述的细节,运用自己掌握的基础知

170、识进行分析、推敲,从而得出符合文章原意的结论的一种推断方法。知识推断题一般都针对细节。解答此类题。不仅需要我们有一定的社会基础知识,而且需要对文章细节以及有关背景知识有一个充分的理解。例如:NMET1996A篇53. After reading the story what can we infer about the hospital?A. It is a childrens hospital B. It has strict rules about visiting hoursC. The conditions there arent very good D. The nurses and

171、 doctors there dont work hard分析:本文讲述了一位母亲采用拖地计谋混进病房近视女儿的故事。由常识可知医院内拖地并非医生护士的工作,选项D不对。C项与文中的its a fine hospital意思相矛盾。A项依据不充分,女儿未必是儿童。正确答案是B。文中I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow则暗示此规章在探视时间上是严格规定的,而且在实际生活中我们都知道医院对探视病人是有严格规定的。第七招 根据文章的篇章结构去进行判断推理。有些内容文章中没有明确说明

172、,要求考生根据语篇,对事件可能的结局或下段可能涉及的内容等进行预测推理。做这类题时应把握作者的写作思路(如文章可能按事件发展的经过描写,也可能按因果关系、对比关系来叙述),要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系,了解语篇的结构。摸准逻辑发展的方向,从而作出比较科学的、合情合理的预测。文章思路、结构、写作意图及写作方法等推测提有时题目要求考生根据文章的论述,推测作者的写作意图、短文组织结构及运用某种写作手法的目的。作者一般不直接陈述自己的意图,而是通过文章所提供的事实和形象,客观地使读者信服某种想法或意见。这种题型要求同学们不但能理解文章的内容,同时还要具备对作者阐述问题的写作方法及文章结构进行归纳总结和分

173、析的能力。例:(2011四川卷D篇)“Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher. ” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organ

174、izational decision making. For years March (possibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential lear

175、ning: “Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及) serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book. In one interesting part of th

176、e book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately(精确的)reality is presented,the less understandab

177、le the story,and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is. ”Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, March is also a poet, and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding: Dont pick it

178、up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.55What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Experience makes stories more accurate. BStories made interesting fail to fully present the truth. CThe use of stories is the best way of exper

179、iential learning. DStories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described. 56Whats the purpose of this text?ATo introduce a book. BTo describe a researcher. CTo explain experiential learning. DTo discuss organizational decision making. 【思路点拨】本文主要介绍了组织决策理论大师詹姆斯马奇的一部新书。 55. B推理判断题。

180、根据第三段中的In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lost part of the complicated truth of things. 可知有趣的故事无法完全地展现事实,故B项正确。 56. A作者意图题。文章主要介绍了詹姆斯马奇的一部新书,故选A。有时,阅读理解题还要求考生推断所读材料的来源或所读材料的读者对象。判断材料的来源主要根据文章的体裁和题材。一般来说,广告类,时事新闻类,娱乐新闻类,影评,应用文类通常出现在报纸、杂志、海报上。说明文通常出现在教科书或实用技术手册里面。判断读者对象主要通过寻找关键的

181、信息词。来源、读者对象推测题【示例1】Edward Wilson is Americas, if not the worlds, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the worlds natural resources (资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out

182、 the need to understand fully the biodiversity (生物多样性) of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection Henry David Thoreau. He compares todays Walden Pond with that of Thoreaus day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is

183、 clean: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops ca

184、n gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species (物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plan

185、ts and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas.72. We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about .A. the environm

186、ent for plants B. the biodiversity of our earthC. the waste of natural resources D. the importance of human values73.How many species are most important to our present food supply?A. Twenty.B. Eighty C. One hundred.D. Ten thousand.74.Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to .A. learn

187、how to farm scientifically B. build homes for some dying speciesC. make it clear what to eat D. use more species for food75.We can infer that the text is .A. a description of natural resources B. a research reportC. a book review D. an introduction to a scientist 参考答案及解析72.【错解分析】典型错误A.错因分析没有抓住文章的重点,

Have you ever thought that solar energy is far

207、away from our daily lives? You may doubt about that. In Japan, there is a wonderful program of Solar City. Solar City is located 80,000 meters northwest of Tokyo, among the strawberry fields. This is one of Japans sunniest places. Solar City covers about 410,000 square metres. Seventy-five percent o

215、头提出问题让读者思考,或是简单介绍与主题有关的其他事物,目的往往是为了引出主题,故选B。 【答案】本题的正确选项为B。2【错解分析】典型错误B.错因分析是没有抓住文章段落的主题。 【解题指导】主旨大意题。从本段来看,第一句话说出,生活在太阳城使用太阳电池板省钱。第二句话说出了,生活在太阳城不仅是为了省钱,还为了太阳电池板。因此,可知答案为A。考查文章的段落大意,此时要注意段落的主题句,可位于段首,段尾或段落的中间,也有的要从段中自己提取的。 【答案】本题的正确选项为A。3【错解分析】典型错误A或B.错因分析是没有掌握试题的特点,推理判断题要从文中进行推断,而不是文中的原话。 【解题指导】推理判

216、断题。根据文章的最后一段中的“All of them say that they want to keep using solar energy even after the program ends in 2010.”可知。此项目的目的达到了。因此,C项正确。D项,可根据文中的“Solar City covers about 410,000 square metres.”知,Solar City并不是一个大城市。A、B两项是文中的事实,而非推理。推理判断题分为简单推理和复杂推理。所谓简单推理就是以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合

217、常识推断出合理的结论。而复杂推理就是不但要以文字为依据,而且还要以文章的语境、内涵为前提。这是一种间接而复杂的逻辑推理方式。考生要推断出文章没有表明但又合乎逻辑的推理,就必须由表及里地归纳或演绎。 【答案】本题的正确选项为C。【示例3】 People believes that climbing can do good to health.

It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag; it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and, over the months,

276、he had grown to hate them. Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas; they indulged(纵容) gameplaying; and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enoughthere was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like “I could h

As the meeting progressed, it was clear to him that each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others. The gameplaying started to fall away; p

282、eople started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting. The meeting ended.

289、灾捐助活动歌颂大学生忘我的助人为乐精神,描述场面是手段,颂扬精神是目的。2A词义猜测题。整段叙述救灾的紧急行动情况和大家的积极性,四个选项中只有A项的意思能和前后文统一起来。3C细节理解题。作者原先的想法在第三段I knew that college students dont have much, but I asked them to do their best: “Every little bit will help.”体现出来。4D细节理解题。星期二晚上发生火灾,星期四晚上搞募捐比赛,即募捐比赛是在灾后两天搞的。5C词义猜测题。作者原以为大学生没什么东西可捐,对他们的捐献本没抱多大的期

290、望。但捐献现场的气氛却是那样热烈,这大大出乎其意料,所以感到“惊讶”是很自然的。本段最后一句中的 “astonished” 对此题也可起到提示和印证的作用。 (三) 度假归来,马丁又要组织会议了。他原本准备忍受会议的乏味,但随着会议的进行,他发现自己能根据别人所说的话知道他们心里的真实想法,因此他试着说出他们的真实想法,引导与会人员学着理解他人的想法,并坦诚地说出自己心里的想法。因此,会议成为了一场开诚布公而让人信任的会议。11C细节理解题。根据第一段It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday中的a wonderful

291、holiday可判断,他在纽约的两周过得很愉快,由此判断答案选C。12D细节理解题。根据第二段可判断,与会人员口是心非,表里不一,这种不公开、不诚实的会风使他厌烦,由此判断正确答案选D。13D词义猜测题。第四段提到马丁能根据与会人员所说的话而得知他们心里的真实想法,之后第五段接着说,他说出与会人员的真实想法,使别人都迷惑地看着他,由此判断,“他新获得的能力”即意为:他能根据别人的话说出他们心里的真实想法。14C细节理解题。会初,马丁准备着忍受会议的乏味,而后随着会议的进行,他发现自己能根据别人所说的话而得知他们心里的真实想法,对此他做出反应,即试着说出他们心里的真实想法,从而引导人们学会理解他

Six in ten said they were on a diet then and one in five women said they were on a “continuous diet”It found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their “reflection in

307、the mirror”, preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites. Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half.However, the study showed that one in ten give up within one day, while almost a fifth manage to make it to a week

Washington D .C.has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida Internati

340、onal University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You dont have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a

341、computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用电子手段) by artists in their own computers. In only a few minutes, your compute

342、r can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings. Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work. A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs (

343、软盘), to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures in paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser (激光) printer. Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of th

344、e pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak says the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists will enjoy their work much more if they have an_audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a

Then her husband l

349、ost his job, and the plan fell apart. “I have two kids in college, and I want to say come home, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his bor

350、rowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school. With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses.More students are applying for

351、 aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fe

352、es increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade. “If we go on this way for another 25 years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middl

353、e class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.” Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making t

354、hem. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.()11.According to Paragraph 1,why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?AThe twins wasted too much money. BThe father was out of work.

355、CTheir savings ran out. DThe family fell apart.()12.How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem? A. They asked their kids to come home. B. They borrowed $20,000 from the schools. CThey encouraged their twin sons to do parttime jobs.DThey got help from the schools and the federal government.()

356、13.Financial aid administrators believe that _. A. more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses B. the government will receive more letters of complaint Ccollege tuition fees will double soon D. Americas unemployment will fall ()14.What can we learn about the middle class families from t

357、he text? A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B. Their income remained steady in the last decade. CThey will try their best to send kids to college.D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years. ()15.According to the last paragraph, the government will _. A. provide most students

358、 with scholarships B. dismiss some financial aid administratorsCstop the companies from making student loansD. go on providing financial support for college students (一) 本文讲述了位于迈阿密州的佛罗里达国际大学的电子艺术博物馆的与众不同。1B主旨大意题。作者首先在文章开头介绍世界著名图书馆, 接着引出迈阿密州的佛罗里达国际大学,接下来文章详细地介绍了它的电子艺术博物馆,因此 B为最佳答案。2D细节理解题。根据第三段开头You

359、can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it可知答案。3A细节理解题。从第三段中It is computer art, produced electronically得此答案。4 B推理判断题。从第四段He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work看,Robert Shostak 开办这家电子艺术博物馆的目的是为艺术家们创造一个展示艺术

360、的天地,因此B为最佳答案。在此C有较大干扰性,从文章最后一段看似乎这一答案正确,然而从第三段看,这家电子艺术博物馆是面对所有的艺术家,而并非只对艺术学生。5D 词义猜测题。根据文中的“artists will enjoy their work much more”可推断此处的观众是指观赏艺术品的观众,尤其可推断选D。(二)随着Diana Jacobs丈夫的失业,她供养两个双胞胎儿子上大学的计划泡汤了。他们不得不向学校申请更多的援助,把助学贷款提高到最大额度。宁愿背负巨额的债务,他们也要提供给孩子们良好的教育。很多家庭也处于同样的困境,政府正在努力保证贷款资金以帮助那些困难的家庭。11. B细节

361、理解题。根据第一段最后一句话可知答案为B。12. D细节理解题。根据第三段中They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program.可以判断正确答案为D。13. A细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话以及后面更详细的说明可知,将有更多的家庭面临像Jacobs一家同样的问题,因此选A。14. C细节理解题。由倒数第二段的The middle class famili

362、esThey will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.可知,中产阶级不惜任何代价送他们的孩子上大学。由此可知正确答案为C。15. D推理判断题。根据最后一段federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.可以判断政府会继续给大学生们提供资金支持。史地常识型阅读

Thats the conclusion of a recent

373、 study from South Africas southern coast. There, in a cave lying above the sea, researchers from Arizona State University have found evidence that humans were behaving in surprisingly complex ways as early as 164,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, appeared an estimated 200,000 years ago. The

374、cave held three important clues about the behavior of these Stone Age people. First, the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat. The researchers

375、propose the early Africans moved to the South African coast between 195,000 and 130,000 years ago. Around that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast. When these ancient people moved to the coast, they probab

376、ly experienced a major cultural shift, the researchers suspect. Thats because observations of modern huntergatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. On the coast, women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and she

377、llfish. As for the second clue, the researchers unearthed 57 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料). The researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies. Symbolic behavior is a clearly human feature. Finally, the search discovered over 1,800 stone to

378、ols, including wellcrafted blades(刀片). These blades came in various sizes. The smallest were just less than a halfinch wide. Ancient people may have attached these blades to the end of a stick to make spears or other tools. ()11.What is the passage mainly about? AAncient cave behavior. BNew evidence

386、,即一直制造工具,创立仪式和分享食物,最后经过漫长的历史发展到今天。11A主旨大意题。文章首先提出:古代人类一直就像人那样地生活,接着指出:在南非南部海岸一个洞穴里发现的古代非洲人的行为线索就说明这一点,之后第三段提出The cave held three important clues about the behavior of these Stone Age people.下文便介绍“The cave habitants behavior”,由此判断全文的主要内容是:Ancient cave behavior。B项过于抽象,C、D两项与文章内容不符合。12C细节理解题。根据第五段Aroun

387、d that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast.可知,古代非洲人是因为内陆气候相对寒冷干燥致使能吃的动植物越来越少才不得不南迁至海岸,由此可知,其南迁的主要目的是为了寻找食物求生存。故选C。13A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段The researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring t

388、heir bodies or for other ceremonies.可知,洞穴人会用颜料装饰,故选A。非洲人南迁才成了洞穴人,捕猎是他们南迁成为洞穴人之前的生活方式,故排除B;C项错在“onlyrough blades”;D项内容在文中未提到。14D细节理解题。根据第六段men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland.

Schoolchildren i

390、n France who eat school dinners are likely to have a wellbalanced, fourcourse meal with fresh ingredients (成分) costing up to 1.10 to make. But British schoolchildren are fed mainly cheapprocessed meat, frozen pizzas and potato smiley faces, costing on average just 37 pence per meal. In fact the mone

391、y spent on school dinners is so small that schools can afford only whatsome people describe as junk food rather than fresh natural ingredients. This means that their meals dont provide the nutrients and goodness childrens bodies need to develop properly. No wonder theres growing concern about the he

392、alth of the nations schoolchildren. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was so concerned about school dinners that he decided to try to improve them by teaming up with the kitchen staff at Kidbrooke School in Grenwich. He took a lot of time to learn how to get the kids to stop eating the junk and move to he

393、althy food. This is not easy! But it is possible with some hard work and determination! After a lot of hard work from both Jamie and the schools cooks, Kidbrooke is now serving some of the best school food in Britain. The menu includes fresh butchers sausages with creamy mash and onion gravy, chilli

394、 corn with basmati rice and fresh fruit salad. Incredibly, Jamie and the staff managed to create this healthier menu with the same 37 pence budget. But the school chefs admit cooking healthy food isnt as easy as simply putting burgers and chips in the oven. Then came the good news! The government ha

395、s promised to spend 280 million to improve school dinners across the country. Well done Jamie! This means that the national average cost will rise from 37p to 50p in primary schools and from 37p to 60p in secondary schools.()1.What does the author try to tell us in the first paragraph? ASchool meals

In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care; they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted.

402、It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.Happiness and SorrowMaterialistic happiness is shortlived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on other

403、s face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.F

They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of th

425、e new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them;often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers. Of course somet

426、imes there were real disasters(灾难) which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes.Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore.At such times, there were inquiries into the caus

427、es of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries;however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill. Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S

428、, for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell.A third department looks at the places where people work,and the

429、n reports any company that is breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course,new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness,but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars whi

435、信息很容易在他们不知晓的情况下被他人获取。故选D。2A细节理解题。第三段Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though its important to reveal(透露)yourself to friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.提到,尽管在适当的时候向朋友、家人或爱人坦诚自己是重要的,但分界线是重要的,即:人与人之间还应该有适当的距离。由此判断选A。其他选项不符合文意。3C推理判断题。根据第三段可知,作者认为,与朋友之间应该有适当的距离,但实际上这种距离

436、很少存在。因为你留下的电子面包屑(即电子痕迹)使陌生人很容易窃取你的个人资料。所以作者说,不管你喜欢或不喜欢,我们愈加生活在一个不能保密的世界里,故选C。其他选项不符合文意。4B细节理解题。根据When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they

437、feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me”可知,大多数美国人希望保留私人空间,但根据But people say one thing and do another.Only a small part of Americans change any behavior in an effort to preserve their privacy.可知,他们对保护私人空间做得少。故选B。5D 细节理解题。根据最后一段But privacy does matterat least sometimes.Its like healt

438、h: when you have it,you dont notice it.Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.可知,私人空间如同健康一样,拥有的时候不注意,失去的时候才觉得珍惜。由此判断选D。(二)本文为说明文。文中首先指出在过去,工人在工作中、顾客使用新产品时的安全与健康得不到保障,导致一些灾难的发生。这致使政府采取相关政策,以保障人们的安全与健康。11D主旨大意题。全文通过对比过去与现在,说明了全文的主题是:工人与顾客的安全与健康。故选D。12A推理判断题。根据第一段often conditions i

439、n the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers可推断过去工人常常因工作环境的恶劣而生病,故选A。13D推理判断题。根据二段however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.可推断政府过去并未引进相关的安全措施,故选D。14C细节理解题。根据第二段New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inq

440、uiries可判断选C。15C细节理解题。分析最后一段可知,C项内容不符合文意,故选C。科普知识型阅读理解(一)(一)When top engineers in Germany wanted to build a more energyefficient car, they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks. But it was the boxfish (盒子鱼)that interested them. “We were surprised when this clumsylooking fi

441、sh became our model for designing an aerodynamic (空气动力学的)car”,says Thomas Weber. He is the research and development chief for the car company Daimler. An aerodynamic design reduces wind drag and increases fuel efficiency. The boxfish may look clumsy, but it can start, stop,back up and zigzag (曲折前进)t

442、hrough the water with ease. And it does all this using surprisingly little energy. Daimlers bionic (仿生学的)car is modeled on the fishs boxy skeletal (骨骼的) system. Like the fish, the car is fast and drives easily. Its efficient too. The science behind natureinspired inventions is called biomimicry (生物仿

443、生). Biologist Janine Benyus came up with the term. As cofounder of the Biomimicry Guild, she has worked with cereal companies,sneaker designers and others to develop products based on Natures best ideas. This month,the Natures 100 Best List will be revealed at the World Conservation Congress (代表大会)i

444、n Barcelona,Spain. Benyus coauthored the list of natureinspired designs with economist Gunter Pauli. In Zimbabwe,a country in southern Africa,engineers designed energyefficient buildings modeled on termite (白蚁)mounds (土堆). The buildings use vents (孔) to keep the air flowing and the temperature cool.

445、 A company in Atlanta,US,developed a selfcleaning paint modeled on the lotus (荷花)leaf. When the paint dries,it becomes bumpy (不平的),just like the lotus leaf. Rain drops form on the bumps and roll off,carrying dirt along with them. Nature has done billions of years of research. Only the bestdesigned p

446、roducts have survived. Companies owe Mother Nature a debt for all that hard work,says Benyus. For scientists and inventors, the possibilities for copying nature are limitless. Technology may never be as efficient as nature, or as colorful. But that doesnt mean we should stop trying to learn from the

447、 world around us. Take a walk outside. Watch a squirrel climb up a tree. Look closely at the veins (纹理)of a leaf. Hear the birds chirping in the trees. Such small details may help solve big problems in the future.()6.Which is TRUE according to the passage? AIn America a selfcleaning paint was modele

454、 Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives tha

455、n a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper

456、way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have t

457、o store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home. The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive und

469、n animals, allowing them to cooperate and share resources, but plants may possess similar social skills, scientists believe.Susan Dudley and Amanda File of McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, report they have demonstrated for the first time that plants can recognize their kin.This suggests that

470、plants, though lacking recognition and memory, are capable of complex social interactions.“Plants have this kind of hidden but complicated social life,” Dudley said.The study found plants from the same species of beachdwelling wildflower grew aggressively alongside unrelated neighbors but were less

471、competitive when they shared soil with their families.Sea rocket, a North American species, showed stronger and healthier root growth when planted in pots with strangers than when raised with relatives from the same maternal(母系的) family, the study found.This is an example of kin selection, a behavio

472、r common in animals in which closely related individuals take a group approach to succeeding in their environment, the researchers said.Kin selection also applies to competition, because if family members compete less with each other, the group will do better overall. “Everywhere you look, plants ar

479、 leaves.DPlants communicate with each other with their flowers.(二)Schools are almost all connected to the Internet. But some have more technology, and use it more, than others. For example, some schools use computers for activities like video conferencing, to bring the world into the classroom. And

480、some classrooms are equipped with things like a Smart Board, a kind of interactive whiteboard. Interactive whiteboards are large displays for presentations. They connect to a computer and can operate by touch. They can be used for documents or writing or to project video. Some teachers are trying cr

481、eative new ways to teach with devices like iPods and mobile phones. But educators say the most important thing, as always, is the content. Yet technology can have special importance in some cases. Cosmobot is a therapy robot. It stands about half a meter tall and has a blue body and a friendly face

482、with big eyes.One child who works with it is sixyearold Kevin Fitzgerald. Kevin has developmental dyspraxia;_he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue. He works with Carole SemangoSprouse as he interacts with the Cosmobot during therapy for his condition. Here, he uses a set of buttons attached

483、to a computer to make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles. Kevins mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.Cosmobot was developed by Anthro Tronix. Corinna Lathan started the company ten years ago to work with chi

484、ldren with cerebral palsy, Downs syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities. Children become friends with the robot, she says. That can have a big effect on their behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions. Corinna Lathan is currently working with a British company

485、to develop other socially helpful robots. She says they are still considered research tools in the United States, and not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan. But she hopes to change that. ()11.Its known from the text that _. Aschools have easy access to the Internet todayBnew technolog
