Question

【題目】Pan Jiachen is a 15-year-old girl from Beijing. She is the only child of her family. She is happy and confident, but she feels lonely sometimes. "It's not fun, especially when I travel with my parents. How I wish I could have a brother or a sister! " she said.

It could be time for Pan to realize her dream. China has ended its long one-child policy and every couple can have two children now. But what will a kid's life be like if he or she grows up with a sibling(兄弟姐妹) ?

A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to an expert. "Siblings give children something that parents can't give," said the expert. A kid may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with. They can also talk about different kinds of things and share secrets with each other.

But there are disadvantages too. You need to share things with your sibling, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. There could be lots of competition, arguments and even fights. Children with siblings need to learn to compromise and control their feelings.

Even the birth order can make a difference. According to a recent research, the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different personalities in children. Parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child. So firstborns are often responsible and thirsty for success. When the couple has a second child, they are more relaxed. So the late-born children are usually funny and creative.

【解析】

本文通過(guò)一個(gè)15歲的孩子之口引出了文章的主題，有兄弟姐妹的孩子有優(yōu)勢(shì)也有劣勢(shì)。優(yōu)點(diǎn)是不再孤獨(dú)，可以分享；劣勢(shì)是有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，有爭(zhēng)吵甚至?xí)r打架。而且出生的順序也決定了孩子的個(gè)性特點(diǎn)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句話How I wish I could have a brother or a sister，可知，我多么希望我能有一個(gè)哥哥或姐姐。故選D。

【2】歸納理解題。根據(jù)They can also talk about different kinds of things and share secrets with each other. 他們也可以談?wù)摬煌�種類的事情，互相分享秘密。 可知，第三段主要講述的是有兄弟姐妹的好處。故選B。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。句子Children with siblings need to learn to compromise and control their feelings. 的意思是：有兄弟姐妹的孩子們要學(xué)會(huì)妥協(xié)和控制感情。因此compromise是“妥協(xié)”的意思。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干的意思是：以下哪項(xiàng)是有兄弟姐妹的不利條件？根據(jù)第四段的句子There could be lots of competition, arguments and even fights.，可知，可能會(huì)有很多競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，爭(zhēng)論，甚至打架�？梢耘袛�C是對(duì)的。故選C。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的It will then lead to different personalities in children. Parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child.這將導(dǎo)致兒童性格的不同。父母通常對(duì)他們的第一個(gè)孩子很緊張和嚴(yán)格�？芍�，從最后一段我們可以知道，父母通常對(duì)他們的第一個(gè)孩子很嚴(yán)格。故選A。

詞義猜測(cè)題是閱讀理解中常見(jiàn)的一種題型，所猜測(cè)詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內(nèi)容。詞義猜測(cè)題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)詞義和語(yǔ)義的能力，突出考查對(duì)語(yǔ)境的分析和把握能力。常見(jiàn)的猜詞法有：(1)利用上下文語(yǔ)境。猜測(cè)任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對(duì)需要猜測(cè)的詞或短語(yǔ)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推測(cè)。 (2)利用定義或解釋性的線索。閱讀文章中的有些生詞往往在其后會(huì)有對(duì)該詞進(jìn)行解釋說(shuō)明的短語(yǔ)或句子，利用它們猜詞義較容易 (3)利用文章的邏輯關(guān)系答題。如并列、對(duì)比、因果、轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系等。這些邏輯關(guān)系往往通過(guò)一些相應(yīng)的詞或短語(yǔ)表達(dá)出來(lái)，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用構(gòu)詞法知識(shí)答題。熟記一些前綴、后綴所表達(dá)的意思，不僅可以擴(kuò)大詞匯量，而且?guī)椭�我們猜測(cè)詞義。第3小題的詞義猜測(cè)題就是利用第1種解題方法。
