Question

Where does the magic in his books come from? It may come from the mix of different cultures and ethnicities (種族) in Latin America.

做“選擇型閱讀理解”一定要有的放矢，帶著問題去閱讀。考生最好先把文章后的問題瀏覽一遍，并把問題中的一些關(guān)鍵詞圈出來，然后帶著問題閱讀。第一遍可以采取略讀和快速閱讀的方法，把可能是答案的地方畫出來，然后對(duì)照每個(gè)小題選擇的范圍，提高準(zhǔn)確率。

閱讀理解常見問題的類型如下：

（1）客觀具體性問題。這類型的問題比較簡(jiǎn)單，屬于識(shí)字得分題，通�？稍谠�文原句中找到答案，如事情發(fā)生的時(shí)間，地點(diǎn)或原因；

（2）判斷推理性問題。這類型問題的常見提問方式包括猜測(cè)作者的意圖（purpose/aim），推測(cè)可能會(huì)產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果，判斷信息的正誤（true/not true）。這類型問題的答案通常不能從文章中直接獲取，需要結(jié)合語境，作者的態(tài)度和目的，歸整分散的信息，然后進(jìn)行分析判斷或者合理的推測(cè)。對(duì)于含有only，all，every，never，none，no one等絕對(duì)化表達(dá)的選項(xiàng)要分外留意；

（3）概括性問題。這類型問題的常見提問方式包括文章的標(biāo)題（title）、大意（main idea）和結(jié)論（conclusion）等。這類問題比上一類難，不能直接得出答案。必須在理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上，對(duì)信息進(jìn)行歸納整合。做這類型的題目時(shí)，先采取排除法，縮小范圍后，聯(lián)系上下文。排除片面的選項(xiàng)，選擇最具概括性或總結(jié)性的答案。
