專題限時(shí)訓(xùn)練(二十八)(一)【要點(diǎn)綜述】賈巴爾是NBA歷史上最偉大的籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員之一。退休后，他投身文學(xué)并寫出了7本暢銷書。本文是記者對(duì)他的一段采訪，從中可以看出賈巴爾的文學(xué)立場(chǎng)和觀點(diǎn)。1．A詞義猜測(cè)題。shinethespotlighton本意為“把聚光燈照向……”，在這里是“把人們的注意力引向……，使關(guān)注……”的意思。2．B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中“African-AmericaninventorsmadesomeverysignificantcontributionstoAmericanlifeandworldculture,butthey'renotacknowledged.SoIthinkIshouldputsomethinginthespotlight.”可知，賈巴爾寫這本書的目的是為了讓人們了解并承認(rèn)非裔美國(guó)發(fā)明家對(duì)美國(guó)以及世界文化做出的貢獻(xiàn)。3．D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中“Theyshouldgetthisinformationatanearlyagesothattheycanhaveanideaofwhat'spossible.”以及“Iwantedtoputsomethingouttherethatgavethemabroaderpictureofwhatwaspossible.”可知答案。4．C推理判斷題。從文章最后一段賈巴爾說的話，特別是“Thingslikethatgetthroughtopeoplebecausethesearethingsthatareapartoftheireverydaylife.Oncetheyseeblackpeopleareinvolvedininventingit，itchangesthings.”可以推出答案。(二)【要點(diǎn)綜述】美國(guó)歌手帕蒂·佩姬與世長(zhǎng)辭，享年86歲；她是美國(guó)戰(zhàn)后時(shí)期最受歡迎的女歌手之一。1．B推理判斷題。根據(jù)“…diedonJanuary3rd，2013，whenshewas86.”可推斷她出生在1927年，再根據(jù)第二段“BorninClaremore，Oklahoma，asmalltownnearTulsa…”可知她出生在一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)，由此可判斷選B項(xiàng)。2．C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Andthen，therewasDoggieintheWindow.Thecreativetunewasahugehit，butwithitsrepeatedbarkingsoundsandsillylyrics(歌詞)，thesonghasbeenusedbymanypeopleasanexampleofallthatwaswrongwithpopmusicintheearly1
