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。

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?
4. The passage is probably taken from a _____.
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
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, buta writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped her in developingher 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, 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
20
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
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
1. 问标题:What is the main topic of the passage? / The best title for the passage is
20
方式
_____.
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
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。

1. How is Auggie different from other boys?
A. His name is special.
B. His face shape is not normal.
C. He doesn’t go to school.
D. He likes playing with his Xbox.
解析:B.
细节理解题。根据题干关键短语different from other boys可将答案锁定在原文第二段中。根据第二段关键句
20
But Auggie has deformities(畸形)of the face and looks very different from other children.“但是Auggie有着畸形的脸,看起来和其它的男孩有很大的不同。”,A项意为“他的名字是特殊的”;B项意为“他的脸型不是正常的”,C项意为“他不想去上学”,D项意为“他喜欢玩他的Xbox。”即可推断出正确答案。
2. Why doesn’t Auggie want to go to school at first?
A. Because he has to stay in hospital.
B. Because his mother teaches better than teachers.
C. Because he doesn’t think he should go to school.
D. Because he is afraid other students may make fun of him.

C. Adults like the book more than children.
D. The emotions of the story are hard to understand.

推理判断题。本题询问的是“我们能够从这本书中得知什么?”A项意为“它告诉我们一个真实家庭的故事。”,根据最后一段中On her website, she explains that she had the idea for Wonder after seeing a girl with deformities on the street one day.可知这个故事的想法是来源于一个面部畸形的女孩,而不是真实的故事。B项意为“许多学校用这本书去教育学生”,根据最后一段Many schools use the book to start discussions about bullying, friendship and being different.可判定此项和文中表述一致;C项意为“成年人比儿童更喜欢这本书”,根据“Wonder is popular with people of all ages. Pre-teens, teenagers and adults all love the book.”可判定此项错误;D项意为“故事的情感很难理解”,根据“Wonder is an excellent book, It tells an exciting story that makes you feel many different emotions.”可知在这本书中你能感受到许多不同的情感,所以此项错误,故选B。

Alexis Martin is a three-year-old girl from Arizona. She hasn’t started kindergarten(幼儿园)yet, but she has an IQ above 160, which is well above the average(一般的)people’s IQ. So, there is no wonder that she has become the youngest member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Mensa is an international club whose members have an IQ score in the top 2% of the world. Currently, Mensa has 3,300 members under the age of 18 in the U.S. Alexis is one of them.
The average people generally have an IQ score of 100 points, but Martin scored 160 points, the highest score on the test. The doctors who tested Alexis said she scored so high that they couldn’t even work out her IQ exactly. They think she is even smarter than 99.9% of the world population. Actually, she matched the IQs of talents like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.
Ian Martin, Alexis’ father, said his daughter showed signs of some unique abilities at the age of one and she began reading books for pupils when she was just two years old. Now at the age of three, Alexis isreading on a fifth grade level.
“From 12 months old, we’d be driving around in the car and she would repeat her bedtime stories from the night before,” he said. “She didn’t just repeat them. She could remember every word of them exactly.”
Ian Martin thinks his daughter also stands out when it comes to learning new languages. “Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything, she never ever uses it in the incorrect situation, ever,” Ian said.
While Alexis’s parents are proud that their three-year-old daughter has become a member in Mensa, they are also aware of the price that comes with every gift. The doctors say Alexis should never attend a normal school and children with her level of intelligence(智力)often experience high anxiety(焦虑)unless they’re around similarly gifted boys and girls. Her parents decide to follow the advice and try to look for proper ways to help her get involved into society.
1. Mensa only accepts __________. (细节理解题)
A. teenagers under 18 in the U.S.
B. people with IQs above 160 in the U.S.
C. talents in the world like Albert Einstein
D. people with IQs in the top 2% of the world
2. From the passage, we know that Alexis’ IQ is __________.(细节理解题)
A. getting higher through training
20
B. beyond the limit of the IQ test
C. above the IQ of Stephen Hawking
D. growing too fast to get an exact score
3. One of Alexis’ special abilities is that __________.(细节理解题)
A. she could read stories at the age of one
B. she could write books for pupils at the age of two
C. she can remember every word of what her parents said
D. she can learn new words quickly and use them properly
4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?(推理判断题)
A. Alexis is sure to experience anxiety in the future.
B. Alexis’ parents can’t afford the gifts that she chooses.
C. Alexis’ parents won’t be able to find her a normal school.
D. Alexis may feel it hard to get along with the average people.

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。

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
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。

These days there are lot of possibilities to be always connected to family and friends. Now that I have just moved lo France, this can be very convenient. I can ring my sister who lives in Los Angeles on Viber, or I can Skype my parents or friends back in England for a chat. However, sometimes the convenient and dependability of technology can beintrusive.
Even the most out-going people need some “down time” to calm down on their own and get relaxed. This is something that I consider necessary and healthy. After all, you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life, so you’d better know how to enjoy your own company. It can be a good thing to have time to yourself to collect your thoughts and free your feelings. Today I went for a walk by myself around the lake and just day-dreamed. It was so relaxing and enjoyable and helped me let go of my bad emotions.
However, somehow it seems rude or perhaps makes people feel that you'reupset to sayto people“ I'm going to go and spend sometime by myself. ”Andoften when we are spending time‘alone’ , we are actually connected with a piece of electrical equipment. We try to make something into a Facebook or a Tweet to attract our friends, or we scroll (滚屏) through Facebook nosing into other people’s lives orseeing what friends are up to. We judge ourselvesand other people by the photos they put online,

so we can tell how much fun they are having compared to us. This is an age when we can get so much surface information about other people's lives, but being wrapped(包裹) up in what other people are doing or always thinking about other people’s recognition (认可) of us can be quite unhealthy.Perhaps these days forget about the simple pleasure of spending time just for us.
Having said all that, I also think that spending too muchtime byyourself can separate you from others. I suppose it is important to find a good balance between spending valuable time by yourself and with other people.
逐题分析
语篇解读:本篇文章是社会现象类的议论文。本文主要描述的是当今社会人们大部分时间都在关注别人的生活或在意别人对自己的看法,很少有自己独处的时间这一社会现象。阐述了我们应该平衡留给自己的时间和与他人交往的时间这一观点。
1.What does the underlined word “intrusive” probably mean?
A. Interruptive B. Helpful.
C. Unsatisfactory. D. Important.
解析:A
词义猜测题。划线词汇出现在文章中的第一段,浏览本段,会发现本段中存在转折连词however“然而”,however之前阐述的是this can be very convenient,即与家人联系是非常方便的,故however后的句子应是与其意思相反的,是消极词汇,所以排除B和D。根据第二段第一句中的calm down“冷静下来”,可以知道划线词汇为它的反义词,A意为“打扰的”;C意为“不满意”,故选A。
2. What does the writer think of being alone properly?
A. It’s the only way to get relaxed.
B. It makes other people feel upset.
C. It’s necessary and healthy for people.
D. It makes out-going people feel lonely.
解析:C

3. The writer agrees .
A. It’s important to know what other people think of us
B. its harmful to always compare ourselves with others
C. technology helps us to judge and improve ourselves
D. technology helps us to know about other people clearly

It is an argument that has divided the East and the West for centuries: Are chopsticks better than the knife and fork, or vice versa? Now the winner may finally be decided, on environmental ground.
Chopsticks are made from a variety of materials, but bamboo and wood chopsticks are more popular. They are usually cheaper, lower in temperature conduction and provide better sense for holding food. That’s why almost all disposable(一次性的)chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood. With cutting down 25 million fully-grown trees a year to make chopsticks, China has ranked number one among the producers. “We must change our habits and encourage people to take their own chopsticks when eating out,” said Mr. Bo, the owner of a forestry industry company in China. He even went so far as to suggest that restaurants should offer metal knives and forks instead. If Mr. Bo’s suggestion is widely accepted, it would be a dark moment in chopsticks’ 4,000-year history.
Chopsticks were invented in ancient China and later spread around Asia. They are not only used as eating tools but also used for cooking, stirring the fire and serving food. Koreans sometimes use metal chopsticks because of their love of barbecue(烧烤). Chinese chopsticks are longer than Korean and Japanese chopsticks in order to reach the dishes in the center of the table. There are 1.4 billion people using 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks in China every year. However, the most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is inJapan. Around a total of 24 billion pairs are used in Japan each
20
year,which means each Japanese uses almost 200 pairs yearly. However, most of its disposable chopsticks have been imported(进口)from China, up to over 90%.
Today, China has to accept the truth that its forests can no longer provide enough chopsticks to feed Asian’s table habit.China is now the world’s largest importer of wood and even imports chopsticks from America.An American company said that the state’s native sweet gum and poplar wood would be perfectly used to make chopsticks. These materials do not need to be lightened with chemicals or bleach(漂白粉). The healthy materials and fairly reasonable prices of the products are appealing to Asian customers. More and more Asians start to use American-made chopsticks at their tables.
Although the U.S. has a huge amount of wood, reducing the number of trees that are cut down in Asia, changing the table habit of using disposable chopsticks still seems to be a wiser choice for chopsticks-using countries.
1. According to Paragraph 2, Mr. Bo’s advice is that Chinese should ________.(细节理解题)
A. use metal chopsticks instead of wooden ones
B. plant more trees and produce fewer chopsticks
C. form the habit of taking their own chopsticks when eating out
D. change their habits and begin to use knives and forks at home
2. What do we know about chopsticks in Asia?(细节理解题)
A. Koreans mainly use chopsticks to cook food over a fire.
B. Most disposablechopsticks in Japan are made in China.
C. The most disposable chopsticks are used in Japan yearly.
D. Chinese use the shortest chopsticks to take and serve food.
3. The underlined word “appealing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.(词义猜测题)
A. normal B. necessary C. attractive D. surprising
4. What’s the best title for the passage?(主旨大意题)
A. Time to Change the Materials for Chopsticks.
B. Time to Cut Down on Disposable Chopsticks.
C. Time to Import Disposable Chopsticks.
D. Time to Give Up Using Chopsticks.
