Come down immediately!”“
5、Theres some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down,looking confused.I pushed her toward the front door,waving at the family,saying, “Sorry,please forgive us,you have a really nice place.” Outside,when I told Sally what happened,she covered her mouth,laughing.She couldnt believe how long

8、 my home changed after that.Ive always wanted to thank you.”语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。如果你误把一户人家当成博物馆并且四处参观,会是怎样一种奇特的经历呢?本文中作者讲述了她的亲身体验。41.What do we know about Marian McNay?A.She was a painter.B.She was a community leader.C.She was a museum director.D.She was a journalist.答案 A解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的 watercolorist(水彩画家

13、e tend to educate teenagers at a museum.答案 C解析 推理判断题。从最后一段中那个女士说的话“在你进来之前,我从未意识到我住的是个多么美丽的地方,我以前从未感到过幸运”可推知,人们往往会忽视自己周围事物的美。4一、题型解读细节推理判断题要求考生根据语篇内容,推断具体细节,如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息,或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。考生只有正确把握文章的内在关系,理解文章的真正含义,才可能作出准确的推断。一般题干主要包括六个动词:infer(推断),indicate(象征,暗示),imply(暗示),suggest(暗
14、示),conclude(作出结论)和 assume(假定,设想)。该类型的命题方式常常以下列形式呈现:1.It can be inferred/concluded from the text that .2.What can we infer/learn from.?3.We can learn from the passage that .4.The passage/story.indicates/suggests/implies that .二、解题技巧关键词句细推敲第一步:定位细节根据题干提供的信息,抓住某一段话的关键信息(关键词语)。第二步:揣摩细节对原文中的信息进行分析,推理判断,利
15、用逆向思维和正向推理,从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。注意:1.切勿拿文章中的某一个细节内容作为推理的结论。2.切勿脱离原文而凭个人看法主观臆断。例如:【真题感悟】中的 45题根据文章最后一段中的“Before you came over,I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.I never felt lucky before.You thought it was a museum.”可知,在作者未造访她家之前,这位女士从未意识到自己住的地方多么美丽,从而可以推断出,人们往往对周围的美视而不见。 故选 C。(2018河北区二模)

25、陋” ,下文中描述道“He grew up,handsome for his misfortune”可知,男孩的外表并不丑陋,而是因为没有耳朵在外形上与普通人不一样,因此我们猜测该词的含义为:strangely-shaped creature。4.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The agreement was between the donator and the family.B.The boy was so popular that he was made class president.C.Finally the boy came to

30、ho are the worlds happiest people?It depends on how the word is defined.There is individual happiness,the sense of joy we get when we do something we like.But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave.According to Professor Dein

36、好处。文中并未提到快乐可以给人带来尊重。7.In Professor Deiners opinion, .A.Asians have a culture to enjoy individual happinessB.Westerners care more about mutual satisfaction than AsiansC.Asians focus more on others respect and approval than WesternersD.Westerners value individual happiness as much as mutual satisfacti
37、on答案 C解析 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“According to Professor Deiner,the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.”可知,Deiner认为西方人更追求个人的快乐,而亚洲人却追求双向满意。由此可推知,亚洲人比西方人更在意别人的尊重和认同。8.What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph?A.Attitude towards pride and shame results in Spani
38、sh happiness.9B.Spanish people take too much pride in themselves.C.Hispanic cultures lay stress on pride and shame.D.If you are from Spain,you are the happiest.答案 A解析 推理判断题。第五段大意为“来自西班牙和以西班牙语为母语国家的人拥有最快乐的文化,Deiner 发现最大的文化差别在于对骄傲和耻辱的态度,西班牙文化比其他文化更强调骄傲而非耻辱” 。由此可推知,对骄傲和耻辱的态度造就了西班牙语文化的快乐属性,所以 A项正确。9.In
39、the last paragraph,the author seems to tell us .A.poor people enjoy the same happiness as millionairesB.the higher income one gets,the happier life he livesC.average income earners live the happiest lifeD.enough money can make us feel safe and happy答案 D解析 推理判断题。最后一段大意为“收入也会导致快乐程度的不同,美国中产阶层比贫穷阶层过得更快乐
40、,但百万富翁只比中产阶层快乐一点点,钱会使人快乐是因为当我们拥有足够的钱时我们会有安全感。 ”由此可知,作者在最后一段表达了“足够多的钱会让人们感到快乐和安全”这样一种看法,所以 D项正确;但此段并无“钱越多人就越快乐”之意,B 项将“足够多的钱能让人快乐”和“钱越多人越快乐”混为一谈,所以 B项错误。10.The passage is mainly about .A.cultural differences in happinessB.the happiest cultureC.reasons for happinessD.benefits of happiness答案 C解析 主旨大意题。
41、文章主要介绍了令人快乐的原因,第一段中的“an American psychology professor,has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy”引出后文所有内容,可见文章重点是关于快乐原因的讨论,所以 C项正确。10题型组合练(七).单项填空1.The language in the companys statement is highly ,thus making its staff confused.A.ambiguous B.apparentC.appropriate D.aggre
42、ssive答案 A解析 句意为:公司的声明中用的语言非常含糊,因此使得职员们非常困惑。ambiguous 含糊的,不明确的;apparent 明显的;appropriate 适当的;aggressive 有进取心的。由后面的“making its staff confused”可知,公司的声明非常的含糊。故 A选项正确。2.The Tang Dynasty is generally regarded as a golden chapter by people worldwide, the Chinese civilization influenced many neighboring coun
43、tries.A.where B.when C.which D.who答案 B解析 句意为:唐朝被世界范围的人们认为是一个黄金时期,在这个时期,中国文明影响了很多邻近的国家。 “ the Chinese civilization influenced many neighboring countries”是非限制性定语从句,修饰 the Tang Dynasty,引导词在从句中作时间状语,故应用关系副词 when引导该从句。B 选项正确。3.How was your job interview?Very successful.I my homework about the company,you
44、 know.A.had done B.have doneC.did D.was doing答案 A解析 句意为:你的工作面试怎么样?非常成功。你知道我了解过这家公司。由第一句可知,参加面试是过去的行为,那么了解该公司应该是面试之前的行为,即过去的过去,故该句应用过去完成时态。A 选项正确。4.The educational reform is now under way throughout the country, the students more opportunities to develop to their greatest potential.11A.to grant B.hav
45、ing grantedC.granting D.granted答案 C解析 句意为:全国正在进行教育改革,给了学生们更多发挥最大潜力的机会。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,主语 the educational reform与 grant之间是主动关系,故用现在分词。C 选项正确。5.When Paul for the final game of the basketball season,his fans let out shouts of cry.A.made up B.showed upC.caught up D.held up答案 B解析 句意为:当保罗出现在篮球赛季的最后一场
46、比赛上时,他的粉丝们爆发出喊叫声。make up组成,编造;show up到场,出现;catch up赶上;hold up举起,耽搁。粉丝喊叫应该是保罗出场时,故 B选项正确。6. more than 100 small regions of isolated volcanic activity known to geologists as hot spots.A.Scattered around the globe areB.Scattering are around the globeC.Are around the globe scatteredD.Are scattered aroun
47、d the globe答案 A解析 句意为:地球上散落分布着 100多个小而离散的火山活跃区,地质学家称之为“热点”。正常语序是“More than 100 small regions of isolated volcanic activity known to geologists as hot spots are scattered around the globe.”表语提前,把系动词提到主语前面构成倒装。7. his high social status,it is really hard for us to his joining us in going west to teach
