迅速把握作者的写作意图
表示辩论、推理的词汇和句型
To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human. …These
three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot
about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it
seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for having made
a mistake. They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible
for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote
about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的)
.” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others'
mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite—find someone else to pass
the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went
wrong is a mark of great maturity.1. What does the author want to tell us
most?A. to make as few mistakes as possible. B. to think seriously about
our wrongdoings. C. to bear responsibility for our mistakes.D. to pass the
blame on to someone else.
1. What does the author want to tell us most?A. to
make as few mistakes as possible. B. to think
seriously about our wrongdoings. C. to bear
responsibility for our mistakes.D. to pass the blame
on to someone else. 这是一篇典型的驳论文。作者先列出
一个错误观点,即To blame the other guy is even more human
,然后进行反驳。最后,通过关键词however一转折,说出了
作者的观点,即为自己的错误承担责任是成熟的标志。因此
选C。
【设题方式】(1) It can be inferred from the
passage that …(2) What does the author
imply by saying …(3) The author's attitude
toward … is ______.(4) What's the author's
opinion about …?
2. 推理判断题
推理判断题主要包括推断题、结论题和观点态度题(1)推断
题:该类试题的正确选项往往采用同义词、近义词替换原文
相关词汇或正话反说的方法设项。所以抓住关键词往往是应
对推断题的有效方法。(2)结论题和观点态度题:通过段落
或文章中心句把握作者的写作意图,结合分析文章措词,特
别是表达情感、态度和观点的词语,在此基础上推断出作者
的“言外之意”和未言明的思想内涵。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and
they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very
important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we
already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of
that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far
better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It
now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK. In many
supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and
cardboard.62. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ___________.A.
the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of
packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of super markets
D. the fact of packaging overuse

Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good
excuse?And what is wrong with a society that thinks that
making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of
common problems with making excuses is that people,
especially young people, get the idea that it's okay not to be totally
honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if a good excuse is
“good” even if it isn't honest, then where is the place of the
truth?54. What is the author's opinion about a good excuse?A.
Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.B. Inventing
a good excuse needs creative ideas.C. A good excuse is as
rewarding as honesty.D. Bitter truth is better than a good
excuse.

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years
go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between
neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is
the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace,
but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is
because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From
the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'
complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the
same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The teens blame
their parents for starting the conflict. B. The teens agree with their parents
on the cause of the conflict. C. The teens accuse their parents of
misleading them. D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their
parents.

A For the first 19 months of her life Helen Keller was able to see and hear.
But then a sickness (疾病)struck. She became completely blind and deaf. For
the rest or her life she was never able to see or hear. And the sickness struck
when she was a baby before she learned to talk. Her world was totally dark
and silent. For the first seven years of her life she was almost like a wild
animal. Her mother and father could not control(控制) her. She screamed(尖声
叫喊) and kicked and struggled and cried. Finally her parents sent for a
teacher. Her name was Ann Sullivan. She herself had once been blind. She
quickly saw that first she had to teach Helen how to obey and how to
control her anger. She spelt out words in Helen's hand. Helen couldn't see
or hear so she learned by touching and feeling. She learned to read books in
Braille(盲字). Helen also learned foreign language: French, German, Latin and
Greek. She learned to write and to speak. She could ride a horse, swim, row
a boat, climb trees. She went to college and Ann Sullivan went with her.
With Miss Sullivan's help, Helen Keller finished college with high honor. She
became a teacher, writer and lecturer. Her life is an inspiration(激励), not just
to the blind and the deaf but to people everywhere.

Americans have used colours to make many expressions they use every day. We say you're “in the
pink” when we are in good health. It is easy to understand how this expression was born. When
my face has a nice fresh, pink colour, it is a sign my health is good. The colour green is natural for
trees, it is an unnatural colour for humans. When someone doesn't feel well. someone who is
seasock, for example. we say he looks green. When someone is angry because he doesn't have what
someone else has, we say he is “green with envy(妒忌)”. Some people are “green with envy”
because someone else has more dollars, or “green backs”. Dollars are called greenback because
that's the colour of the back side of the money. Blue is a cooler colour. The traditional blue music
of American blacks is the opposite of red hot music. It is slow, sad and soulful. To be blue, of course,
is to be sad. The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything
goes wrong as a “black day”. A “black sheep” is the member of a family or group who always
seems to be in trouble. If someone meets a “black cat”, something unlucky might happen to him.
Not all the “black” expressions had bad meanings. A business “ in the black” , for example, is
making money. A company “in the red” is losing money. If someone tells you to put something
“in black and white”, they want you to write it down.
1. After reading the passage, we can infer if someone “ looks gray ” , he ___
A. looks well B. may need to see doctor C. is healthy D. is happy 2.
American dollars have_______ back side.
A. pink B. green C. blue D. red 3. Which word describes the blue
music?
A. Fast B. Sad C. Hot D. Cheerful 4. My brother is a _______, everyone

of the following is True?

A little boy invited his mother to attend his elementary school's first teacher-
parent meeting. To the little boy's fear, she said she would go. This would be
the first time that his classmates and teacher met his mother and he was
embarrassed(窘迫的) by her face. Although she was a beautiful woman, there was
a big scar(伤疤) that covered nearly the whole right side of her face. The boy

baby, he was in a room that caught on fire. Everyone was too afraid to go in
because the fire was out of control, so I went in. As I was running toward his
bed, I saw a beam coming down and I placed myself over him trying to protect
him. I was knocked unconscious but luckily, a fireman came in and saved both of
us.” She touched the burned side of her face. “This scar will be forever, but to
this day, I have never regretted doing what I did.” At this point, the little boy
came out running toward his mother with tears in his eyes. He hugged her and
felt almost a sacrifice(牺牲) of life that his mother had made for him. He held her

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for
good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the day. The
rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for
the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one
before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly,
and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts (改变)
back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows
down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that
when dreaming happens, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly. This stage of sleep
is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling
asleep, some people recommend(建议) breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other
people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old
suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.
