三、选项特征
1
.
推理判断题正确选项的特征
(1)
“
立足原文，只推一步
”
，即根据原文内容，一步即可推得。
(2)
选项中一般不可以出现绝对概念，如
only
，
never
，
all
，
absolutely
等。正确答案的表述一般有一点模糊，会用一些相对能够留有一些余地的词汇，如
often
，
usually
，
sometimes
，
some
，
may
，
might
，
can
，
could
，
possibly
，
probably
等。
2.
推理判断题干扰选项的特征
(1)
曲解文意。即推测意义与文章表层意义有区别，推理判断题中有些选项来自文章中的某一句或某几句话，命题者可能会利用里面的字词设计出干扰项，看似表达文章的意思，其实是借题发挥，是对原文意思的曲解。
(2)
张冠李戴。为了起到干扰的效果，高考命题人常用的一个手段就是张冠李戴，即通过使用原文中出现的词汇甚至句式，把本来适用于一种情况的内容移用到其他情况。
(3)
颠倒是非。干扰项的内容常涉及原文中提及的一些内容或现象，但选项的意思却与原文恰恰相反。
(4)
无中生有。这种类型的干扰项往往是基本的生活常识或普遍认可的观点，但在文章中并无相关的信息支撑点。另外，这种干扰项也有可能与设置的问题毫不相干。
(5)
扩缩范围。为了准确、严密地表达文章内容，命题者特别注意对文意范围的限定，有时通过加上
almost
，
all
，
nearly
，
more than
，
normally
，
usually
等词语对文意加以限制。
“
扩缩范围
”
干扰法就是在选项中通过改变或去掉限制性词语，将信息的范围、程度、感情色彩等改变，从而给考生解题造成干扰的命题方法。

El Niño
，
a Spanish term for
“
the Christ child
，
”
was named by South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern
，
which happens every two to seven years
，
reduced the amount of fishes caught around
Christmas.El
Niño sees warm water
，
collected over several years in the western Pacific
，
flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken
，
or sometimes the other way round.
写作意图推断题
The weather effects both good and bad
，
are felt in many
places.Rich
countries gain more from powerful
Niños
，
on balance
，
than they
lose.A
study found that a strong Niño in 1997-98 helped America’s economy grow by $15 billion
，
partly because of better agricultural harvests
：
farmers in the Midwest gained from extra
rain.The
total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.
But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in
flames.A
multi-year drought (
干旱
) in south-east Brazil is becoming
worse.Though
heavy rains brought about by El Niño may relieve the drought in California
，
they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.
The most recent powerful Niño
，
in 1997-98
，
killed around 21
，
000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the
globe.But
such
Niños
come with months of warning
，
and so much is known about how they happen that governments can
prepare.According
to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI)
，
however
，
just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance
，
rather than recovery and rebuilding
afterwards.This
is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.
Simple improvements to infrastructure (
基础设施
) can reduce the spread of
disease.Better
sewers (
下水道
) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad
stomach.Stronger
bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after
floods.According
to a paper in 2011 by
Mr
Hsiang
and co-authors
，
civil conflict is related to El Niño’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country
，
the stronger the
link.Though
the relationship may not be causal
，
helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding
people.Since
the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Niño
，
reducing their losses needs to be the priority.
64.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To
introduce El Niño and its origin.
B.To
explain the consequences of El Niño.
C.To
show ways of fighting against El Niño.
D.To
urge people to prepare for El Niño.
答案
D
[
目的意图题。根据最后一句
“
Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Niño
，
reducing their losses needs to be the priority.
”
可知，各国政府要把减少损失放在优先的位置。也就是说我们要事先做好准备。故
D
项正确。

A MENTORING(
导师制
) program is giving life changing opportunities to
Banbury
youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg
，
the program’s founder
，
said
：
“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”
“
We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our
youth.For
example
，
we’ve secured internships(
实习
) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
”
“
At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring
，
it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.
”
Kieran Hepburn
，

，
is one of a group of
Banbury
youth who has benefited from the program so
far.In
October the
Banbury
School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational
，
Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(
论坛
).
The event was held for young people from around the world
，
to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should
look.Kieran
joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the
event.Kieran
thinks the trip was a life changing
experience.
“
Before
we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop
，
it was amazing
，
”
he said
，
“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public
life.It
dealt with issues(

) such as drug abuse
，
violence and unemployment.
Kieran said
：
“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
