题型
题型一:细节理解题
解释
本类试题主要考察学生对阅读材料中的某一特定细节或文章的主要事实的理解能力。问题包括询问人(who)、物(what)、时间(when)、地点(where)、原因(cause)、结果(effect)、文中的数据(data)等。新闻、说明文、广告信息等常常考察这些细节。

3. 多点归纳,综合事实找答案
典题精析
Which hand do you use when write? About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward(别扭的).
If right-handers cut up potatoes with their left hand, they will .
A. get hurt B. give up cutting C. feel awkward D. change their tools
本题可以运用到解题技巧1. 细心审题,直接就题找答案
浏览题干,确定关键短语为cut up potatoes with their left hand,浏览段落,确定关键句 If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward(别扭的).“如果你是一个习惯用右手的人,用左手拿刀把土豆切成块。如果你感到别扭并不让人惊讶。”,根据句意即可推断出正确答案,故选C。
题型
题型二:推理判断题
解释
推理判断题着重考察学生的逻辑思维能力,即要求学生根据文章的逻辑关系进行推理判断。此类题目难度大,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。
设题方式
1. It can be inferred from the text that_____.
2. From the text we know that _____.
3. With which of the following does the author agree?

3. 根据作者的意图和态度进行推断
典题精析
Boredom is often linked with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped her in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few things to do, Syal often talked with her neighbors. She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes. “But importantly,
28
I Thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored,” Syal said. She kept a diary, filling her time with short stories and poems she made up.
Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money. He enjoyed himself by making up stories, drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library. Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and seasons. Perry filled up his free time with what he liked. He became creative, because he could think freely.
The writer talks about Syal and Perry to .
A. stress the great differences between them
B. introduce a popular writer and a famous artist
C. suggest good ways of going through boredom
D. show effects of boredom on developing creativity
本题可以运用到解题技巧2. 根据文章所提供的的背景,人物的表情,动作和语言进行推断
题干意为“作者谈论Syal 和Perry的例子的目的是什么?”。两个段落很长,我们首先要精读段落,抓住两个人物的态度,第一段中关键句为a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped her in developing her mind.意为“Meera Syal说无聊帮助她发展了她的思想”,第二段关键句为He became creative, because he could think freely.意为“他变得积极,因为他能够自由思考”,由这两句关键句可知两个人都认为“无聊可以发展创造力,”,故选D。
题型
题型三:词义猜测题
解释
单词的猜测能力是阅读理解能力的主要组成部分,是考查对文中关键词语的理解。而且,所考察的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上,要根据文中语境来判断。
设题方式
1. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ______.
2. The word“…”most likely means _____.
3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word _____.
解题技巧
1. 通过因果关系猜测词义
2. 通过同义词和近、反义词的关系猜测词义
3. 通过构词法猜测词义
4. 通过定义或释义说明来猜测词义
5. 通过描述猜测词义
28
6. 用知识和生活经验猜测词义
7. 根据上下文的指代关系猜测词义
典题精析
Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time. However, research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination, while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity.
What does the word “hamper” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Slow down. B. Keep up with. C. Go beyond. D. Give rise to.
本题可以运用到解题技巧2. 通过同义词和近、反义词的关系猜测词义
浏览本段,会发现本段中存在转折连词while“然而”,while后的句意为“无聊能给他们发展创造力的机会”,所以while之前的句意应该与之相反,进一步推测词义。A意为“(使)慢下来”,B意为“跟上”,C意为“超出”,D意为“引起,导致”,故选A。
题型
题型四:主旨大意题
解释
考查学生对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。
设题方式
1. 问标题:What is the main topic of the passage? / The best title for the passage is _____.
2. 问中心:The first paragraph is mainly about the _____. / The passage is mostly about _____.
3. 问目的,态度:The author wants to tell _____. / The purpose of this article is to _____.
解题技巧
1. 浏览文章首尾段和各段开头,抓住主旨段或主旨句
2. 浏览全文,抓住关键字眼,把握主旨
3. 以掌握主旨为前提,处理推断作者语气及写作意图
典题精析
In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.
What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Causes of being left handed. B. Encouragement to left-handers
28
C. Punishment for using the left hand. D. Changes in opinions on left-handers.
本题可以运用到解题技巧2. 浏览全文,抓住关键字眼,把握主旨
本题考察的是第二段段落大意,要首先锁定第二段的关键词but,but之前的关键词in the past和it was strange to use the left hand表明了在过去人们认为使用左手是奇怪的,but之后的关键词these days和have accepted that表明了现在人们接受了惯用左手的人。所以这段主要是讲述了人们关于惯用左手的人的态度上的转变。可以判定答案为Changes in opinions on left-handers.,故选D。

As kids, we learn how to write, maybe play a musical instrument and draw. So why don’t we learn to code(编码) computer programs too? What coding has in common with writing, playing music and creating art is that it lets you bring your ideas to life. Coding is all about creativity and that’s why I love it.
Creating with code
Coder Dojo helps young people around the world to learn computer programming for free. When I went to my first Coder Dojo class in Dublin City University in Ireland, at age nine, I didn’t know anything about coding or even what it was. But I remember making my very first web page that first day, and being surprised that I could create such a thing. It was a great feeling that I think every young person should experience!
By going to Coder Dojo every week, I learned how to make websites, apps and games. One of my apps is called Auto-Journalist. It can help journalists(记者) and interviewees do interviews even if they are both really busy or live in different time zones. It is still in development, and I have showed it at all event called Coolest Projects Awards, where young people get to show the public what they have created with code. It’s so much fun to share one’s creations, and to see what everyone else has made too.
Learning environment
For the past three years I have also been helping to teach other young people at Coder Dojo DCU. In recent years I have also noticed many more girls attending Coder Dojo DCU to try out coding. This has a lot to do with the Coder Dojo girls’ classes—girls and young women take part in it with their friends,and it doesn’t feel like coding is a “boy thing”. It is really wonderful to see this, because we need more girls and women in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).
28
It’s a good way to learn more about technology.
Start early
One of the main things I have learned in the last few years is that coding is not only for adults, coding is for young people, too. And when you are a child it is a great time to start coding, because your imagination is the limit for what you can create!
Want to learn more? Find out if there is a Coder Dojo near you at www. Coder dojo. com or set one up yourself! Also check out Code. org which has lots of fun drag-and-drop coding games.

We all know that zebras have stripes(条纹). But why? It’s hard to get a black-and-white answer. This is a question not just common people like us have asked, but scientists too.
Several studies have been done to find out the reason behind the stripes and many theories (理论)have been suggested. According to a recent study, the type of stripes changes depending on the temperature where zebras live. The warmer the place is, the more stripes they may have. From this study, scientists believe that stripes may help to keep a zebra cool in warmer places.
According to the cooler temperature theory, when air hits a zebra, the movements of air are stronger and faster over the black parts and slower over the white. This is because black color takes in more heat than white. So at the point where the black
28
and white meet, there is cooling airflow. It can quickly cool a zebra’s skin! In fact, scientists have noticed that heavily striped zebras have 5.4T lower skin temperature than other animals without stripes in the same area.
Some scientists believe that stripes may be an adaptation(适应)by zebras to defend (防卫)themselves from the horseflies that follow zebras. The cooler temperature theory holds merit here too, since disease-carrying flies like horseflies like it hot. Flies also don't like landing on striped surfaces.
There also have been many other theories that have been suggested for why zebras have stripes. Some explanations are very common. One of them is that stripes may help zebras hide in grass especially from lions. Lions are color blind and even if they are not far away they may see stripes as grey and be confused by them. What’s more, zebras are a large group of animals living together. When a number of zebras stand or move together, stripes may confuse lions into thinking it is one large animal.
1. Stripes are helpful for zebras to_________.(细节理解题)
A. stay cool
B. move together
C. live in cold places
D. fight against diseases
2. How do zebras' stripes protect them from lions?(细节理解题)
A. Lions may be frightened away by strips.
B. Lions may see stripes as many animals.
C. Stripes can prevent zebras from being seen.
D. Stripes may make lions confused.
3. The underlined words “holds merit "in Paragraph 4 probably mean"_________".(词义猜测题)
A. works well
B. sounds unreasonable
C. causes disagreement
D. needs supporting facts
4. What is the passage mainly about?(主旨大意题)
A. Why lions can't eat zebras.
B. How horseflies keep away from zebras.
C. Why zebras have stripes.
28
D. How animals adapt to nature.

left-handed students can use their left hand to write.

C. Punishment for using the left hand. D. Changes in opinions on left-handers.
本题可以运用到解题技巧2. 浏览全文,抓住关键字眼,把握主旨
本题考察的是第二段段落大意,要首先锁定第二段的关键词but,but之前的关键词in the past和it was strange to use the left hand表明了在过去人们认为使用左手是奇怪的,but之后的关键词these days和have accepted that表明了现在人们接受了惯用左手的人。所以这段主要是讲述了人们关于惯用左手的人的态度上的转变。可以判定答案为Changes in opinions on left-handers.,故选D。

Success by failure
I had failed again. It was the day of the big marathon. I had decided three years ago to train for the half-marathon event and take home a medal. There I sat, in front of my TV, while I watched others cross the finish line. It was just another in a long string(串) of failures. I had never met a single weight loss or fitness goal and I was majoring in the art of failing.
We are a family of exploration and often plan active vacations. It seemed that on every vacation I was the one who couldn’t go the distance. Each time I urged(催促) my family, “Go on without me. Bring me lots of pictures and videos. I’ll be fine just sitting here taking in the view. ” I lied. Sick of being left behind, I decided that it would never happen again. Sure I was in my 50s, but surely there was still hope for me. I always spent weeks walking to prepare for our active vacations. I had lost weight many times. I just always seemed to fail to get where I needed to be.
But this time I would do something different. I was going to walk a half marathon. Surely I would lose weight and get in shape if I could complete over 12 miles in four hours. Besides, this would be training. Training sounded cooler than diet and exercise. I was revved up and ready to go. I bought the proper gear(装备), checked out what type of drinks would be handed out at the marathon and prepared a lot. I had a plan!
Now two years later, there I sat, watching thousands of people of all ages succeed where I had failed. I walked out, angry with myself, sat down and had myself a pity party. I was a master at the art of pity parties, having a great deal of experience in holding them. What was my problem? Where was I going wrong? I stopped and considered each failure, one by one. I made some very interesting discoveries.
I had failed to climb to the top of that Mayan pyramid, but I did climb it and
28
stood on these ancient stones. I had failed to meet a single weight loss goal and yet I had lost 43 pounds. I couldn’t walk 12 miles in four hours, but I could walk 12 miles.
All my failures were sounding like a success story. This time I was giving thanks. I was thankful that I had been given the spirit of failure because failure meant that I was trying, that I didn’t give up. I decided that I would be crossing the finish line next year.

Entertainment (娱乐)is a developing business. Its popularity continues to grow as it keeps up with technology. More people are willing to pay for entertainment with their time and money. Sometimes entertainment is a form of escapism(逃避).It takes us away from our reality and gets us into another world—not our own.
• Why do we want to escape?
Boredom or loneliness: The boredom of daily life gets to us and we feel we need some excitement and a bit change. A TV running in the background, and maybe catching our attention every now and then, keeps us company.
Fear and avoidance: We don’t want to face something we fear, or can’t bring ourselves to move past the fear and do something about it. We’re scared to go for what we want, so we choose to turn on the TV.
Struggle: Life sometimes feels like a battle—traffic, work, taking care of ourselves and keeping up with what's going on. At the end of the day all we want
28
to do is forget about all of it and sit mindlessly in front of TV.
Escaping has never been easier than today. We have many forms of escape. And the most favored is entertainment.
• _________
Easy to reach and affordable:You can stay at home and watch TV, or surf online all day long.
Social connection:one can line up for a new movie and socialize with other people or go to a ballgame and cheer for his or her favorite team. Entertainment has become something people have in common and can talk about.
All forms of entertainment are okay if we know what we're doing. And more importantly, we have complete control over when entertainment comes to an end.
•To face our fears and reality or to escape?
If you tried escaping before and it didn't help, it's time to deal with the problems you face.
Before watching a TV show, make sure that the important thing is taken care of. Leave your favorite show to the end of the day, after you've taken care of what matters to you. This will allow you to enjoy every minute.
There is nothing wrong with entertainment, if we don' t place a higher value on it than our own reality and what matters to us.
When we entertain ourselves mindfully, we won't need to escape. We turn entertainment into the reality of the moment. And when we're done, we move on - with no regret. And that can be a lot of fun.
1. One reason why we want to escape is that___________.(细节理解题)
