（3）文章出處題。根據(jù)標題JOBS

AT

HOLKER（霍爾克招聘），以及倒數(shù)第二段PleaseapplyprovidingyourCV（簡歷）andcoveringlettertoGlynBiggs–Glyn@holker.co.ukorbymailtoTheEstateOffice，Cark-in-Cartmel，Grange-over-Sands，CumbriaLA117PH（請向GlynBiggs–Glyn@holker.co.uk申請?zhí)峁┖啔v和求職信或郵寄至坎布里亞州金沙莊園CarkinCartmel的地產辦公室，郵編：117PH）可知，該文章出自公司網站。A.An

website.公司網站；C.An

article.學術文章；D.A

report.一份科學報告。故選B。

本文是一篇應用文。主要介紹了關于霍爾克集團招聘數(shù)據(jù)分析管培生的具體要求，工資待遇及聯(lián)系方式等。

一、速讀全文，了解大意知主題。

閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面。閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力，考生必須在十分有限的時間內運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡，把握語篇實質。

二、看題干，帶著問題讀文章。

首先要掌握問題的類型，客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案；而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調等，這類題必須經過對作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等。其次，了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息，然后有針對性地對文章進行掃讀，對有關信息進行快速定位。此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準確率。

三、邏輯推理，做好深層理解題。

在實際閱讀中，有時作者并未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思，通過語篇邏輯關系，研究細節(jié)的暗示，推敲作者的態(tài)度，理解文章的寓義。要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全。推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜詞悟義，掃除閱讀攔路虎。

猜詞是應用英語的重要能力。它不但需要準確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認識較多的課外詞匯。我們要學會"順藤摸瓜"，通過構詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義。

4~7.【答案】C、D、B、A【解析】（1）C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第一段末尾句內容"I

felt

the

drum

rolled

in

my

heart．（我感覺到鼓在我心里滾來滾去．）"可知，作者很緊張．A．Excited激動的，B．Relaxed放松的，C．Nervous緊張的，D．Confident自信的．C項符合語境．故選C．

（2）D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段內容"However，it

was

an

indescribable

feeling

to

drive

a

200-mile

round

trip

get

up

very

early

on

a

four

competitors

in

my

group．（然而，在一個寒冷的周六早上很早起床，駕車往返200英里，卻在我們組的四名選手中名列第四，這是一種難以言表的感覺．）"可知，作者在本組選手中位列末尾名次．選項D"He

was

bottom

of

his

group．（他是他那組的最后一名．）"與原文信息表達一致．故選D．

（3）B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第四段內容"Lincoln

had

many

failures，but

he

never

allowed

them

to

defeat

his

spirit

or

ambition，so

I

was

not

going

to

give

upon

a

second

contest!（林肯有過很多失敗，但是他從來沒有讓失敗打敗他的精神和雄心，所以我不打算在第二次比賽中放棄!）"可知，是林肯的精神鼓舞了作者再次參加比賽．故選B．

（4）A．標題歸納題．通過閱讀可知，文章為記敘文，結構為分總結構，主要講述了作者認真準備演講比賽后還是輸?shù)袅吮荣?，十分傷心，他用林肯的話和經歷來鼓勵自己正確面對生活中的失敗，在文章末尾點明文章主旨"Through

learning

stories

about

Lincoln，I

discovered

that

I

can

fail

successfully．（通過學習林肯的故事，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我也可以成功地失?。?選項A"Learn

to

fail

successfully（學會成功地失?。?貼合主旨要義，可作最佳標題．故選A．

這是一篇記敘文．文章主要講述了作者認真準備演講比賽后還是輸?shù)袅吮荣悾謧?，他用林肯的話和經歷來鼓勵自己正確面對生活中的失?。簩W會成功地失?。?/p>

了解文章的主要論題的關鍵是找到全文的主旨句．對于記敘文來說，篇章結構一般為總分總結構或分總結構，因此，主旨句有時在首段，但也有主旨句出現(xiàn)在末尾的時候．出現(xiàn)在末尾的主旨句是對文章主題的升華，由此判斷標題會更加準確．

8~11.【答案】A、A、C、D【解析】（1）A.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中的Thepricenearlydoubled,

toadollarand

8

cents,

bytheendofschoolinJune.????????????到6月份放學時，價格幾乎翻了一番，達到1美元8美分。第二段Asaresult,

schoolsarelookingforwaystoreducetransportationcosts.??????????因此，學校正在尋找降低交通成本的方法。由此可判斷本文主要講的是不斷增長的油價，讓很多的地方的校車都在減少，引起了一系列的影響和變化。故選A.

（2）A.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的第二句"The

American

School

Bus

Council

says

cuts

in

bus

service

are

bad

for

children

and

possibly

the

environment."可知，這個美國校車委員會表示校車服務的減少對兒童以及環(huán)境都是有壞處的。由此可見，校車服務的減少會帶來消極的結果。結合選項可知，故選A，

（3）C.細節(jié)理解題。由第二段的第四句"Bus

routes

are

being

redrawn

or,

in

some

cases,

canceled."和第五句"Some

areas

are

buying

buses

that

use

natural

gas

or

other

alternative

fuels."可知，校車路線被再次規(guī)劃，或者在某些情況下，被取消。一些地區(qū)將購買使用天然氣或者其他替代燃料的公交車。由此可見，為了減少交通成本，很多學校采取了改變一些校車路線，取消一些校車路線，或者使用其他燃料。結合選項可知，選項C表達的是"要求父母開車送孩子上下學"，這并未提及。故選C。

（4）D.細節(jié)理解題。由最后一段的第四句"The

goal

is

to

increase

physical

activity

and

reduce

air

pollution."可知，這個目的是為了提高體能活動并且減少空氣污染。由此可見，國家安全上學路線中心鼓勵更多的孩子走路或者騎車去上學是為了保持孩子們的健康和干凈的環(huán)境。結合選項可知答案選D.

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述校車由于柴油價格的增長被做調整甚至取消，這將可能對學生不利，但是也可能讓跟多的學生選擇走路或者騎車上學。

考查社會文化類閱讀理解。做題時要通讀全文，把握大意，然后結合題干及選項做出正確的選擇。

12~15.【答案】A、A、A、B【解析】（1）A.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段"But

a

team

of

researchers

from

the

University

of

Washington

have

managed

to

build

a

live-streaming

wireless

camera

that's

so

small

that

even

an

insect

can

wear

it."

（但華盛頓大學的一組研究人員已經成功制造出了一種無線實時攝像裝置，它非常小，連昆蟲都可以戴上它。）

可知，這種新攝像頭既小又輕。故選A項。

（2）A.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句"Their

large

compound

eyes

can

not

only

detect

motion

across

a

wide

field

of

（

it's

whythey're

（3）A.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句"The

camera

can

run

（這種相機可以運行兩個小時，但為了延長時間，研究人員還安裝了一個加速計，這樣它就只在甲蟲移動的時候捕捉和播放圖像，這樣相機的電池壽命就可以延長到六個小時以上。）

可知，這種電池只是暫時的，研究人員還在改進中，而A項casual臨時的，非正式的，符合題意。A.casual隨意的；B.adequate充足的；C.beneficial有益的；D.unsatisfactory不滿意的。故選A項。

（4）B.觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句"The

researchers

acknowledge

that

their

design

certainly

raises

some

concerns,givenhow

easy

it

is

for

insects

to

find

（研究人員承認，他們的設計確實引起了一些隱私問題

，因為昆蟲很容易找到進入你家的路。）

以及最后一句"But

（昆蟲學者）

，甚至可以更仔細地觀察昆蟲的社會結構。）可以推知雖然這款相機可能會侵犯人類的隱私，但也對昆蟲研究起一些幫助。可以看出作者對這款攝像機的設計仍懷有懷疑態(tài)度。A.Critical批評的；B.Doubtful懷疑的；C.Favorable有利的；D.Objective客觀的。故選B項。

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了GoPro公司新研發(fā)的一種小到可以使昆蟲攜帶的無線實時攝像頭，并介紹了它的功能及原理和所存在的一些缺陷。

閱讀理解解題步驟：首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意。因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應盡可能多地捕獲信息材料。

其次，細讀題材，各個擊破。掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關信息。

要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強的針對性。對于捕獲到的信息，要做認真分析，仔細推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準。

16~20.【答案】G、F、E、C、D【解析】（1）-（5）GFECD

（1）G．聯(lián)系上文題．根據(jù)上文Miraclesdohappenifyoutry．Accordingtostudies，walkingamongtreesmakesusrelaxed．如果你努力的話，奇跡確實會發(fā)生．根據(jù)研究，在樹林中散步可以讓我們放松．可知說的是在樹林中散步對情緒的影響，G選項：即使只是聞一聞樹的味道也有助于減輕焦慮．意思相符，故選G．

（2）F．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文butmostoftheresearchhasfocusedonadults．但大多數(shù)研究都集中在成年人身上．可知下文可能說對兒童的研究，根據(jù)下文Explainingthemotivationbehindthestudy，…andthefutureoftheplanetliesinthehandsofchildrenandtheiractions．However，fewstudiesfocusonthisaspect．，解釋這項研究的動機…，地球的未來掌握在孩子們的手中，掌握在他們的行動中．然而，很少有研究關注這一方面．根據(jù)下一段Forthestudy，researchersworkedwith206childrenbetweentheagesof5and15．在這項研究中，研究人員對206名5至15歲的兒童進行了研究．可知F選項：在一項新的研究中，研究人員想看看孩子們是否能從戶外得到同樣的好處．意思相符，故選F．

（3）E．聯(lián)系下文題．根據(jù)下文Theyalsofoundthatthemoreconcernedchildrenwereabouttheenvironmentandnature，themorelikelytheyweretobehappy．他們還發(fā)現(xiàn)，孩子們對環(huán)境和自然越關心，他們就越可能快樂．可知講述了大自然對孩子的影響，alsofound是關鍵詞，可知前面還有found，E選項：他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，與大自然有聯(lián)系的孩子更有可能舉止得體．意思相符，故選E．

（4）C．聯(lián)系上文題．根據(jù)上文

when

adults

are

outside

and

appreciate

nature，kids

learn

by

example．當成年人在外面欣賞大自然時，孩子們會以此為例來模仿．可知C選項：如果父母喜歡親近自然，他們的孩子也會喜歡．意思相符，故選C．

（5）D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文Researchers

that

children

need

role

models

who

can

gently

guide

them

to

nature

with

excitement

and

an

attitude

of

a

lifelong

learner．研究人員說，孩子們需要榜樣，他們能帶著興奮和終身學習的態(tài)度，溫和地引導他們走向自然．而下文What's

more

important

is

that

they

spend

time

together

with

children

by

exploring

a

fun

and

safe

environment．更重要的是，他們花時間和孩子們一起探索一個有趣和安全的環(huán)境．可知這個榜樣是父母，他們只是一起探索大自然，不必是專業(yè)人士，可知D選項：父母不必是環(huán)境科學或自然研究方面的專家．意思相符，故選D．

本文講述有大量的研究表明，身處大自然會讓我們放松，但大多數(shù)研究都集中在成年人身上，本文介紹了大自然與孩子的關系．

關于七選五的做題步驟：
