Question

【題目】 Benin-born musician Angelique Kidjo has won a major human rights award, along with three African youth activist movements. The groups are Y’en a marre (Fed Up), le Balai Citoyen (The Citizen’s Broom), and Lutte pour Changement (LUCHA).

The organization Amnesty Internationalannounced the winners on Wednesday. It praised Kidjo and the groups for their work in Africa and around the world. Amnesty says the award honors those who have shown unusual courage in standing up to unfair. It says winners also influence others to act the same.

The Amnesty International honor is called the Ambassador of Conscience Award. Past winners include leaders Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi. Artists who have been honored including U2 band leader Bono and singer Joan Baez.

Angelique Kidjo fled Benin in the 1980s after being pressured to perform for the country’s repressive government. She has since gained worldwide fame both for her music and her activism(行動(dòng)主義). She has worked to support free expression, education for young women and birth certificates for children. She has lived in New York City for many years. She has also won a Grammy award for her music. She said, “Music helps her spread her messages of freedom and human dignity. I can’t be in everyone’s home physically but my music will be there. And that’s the power of an artist, compared to a politician. Because no one can give a speech as brilliant as what we can put on a CD. I have hope that African nations struggling with corruption can solve their problems through democratic(民主的) methods.” Kidjo said the honor will help her stay active in human rights issues.

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中Benin-born musician Angelique Kidjo has won a major human rights award...可知貝寧出生的音樂(lè)家Angelique Kidjo贏得了一項(xiàng)重要的人權(quán)獎(jiǎng)……由此可知，Angelique Kidjo是出生在貝寧的音樂(lè)家。故選B。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段的第一句Angelique Kidjo fled Benin in the 1980s after being pressured to perform ...中的 fled 和being pressured to perform 可以推出那國(guó)家的政府不可能是一個(gè)幽默的、和平的、自由的政府，而應(yīng)是一個(gè)殘酷的政府。故劃線單詞意思為“殘酷的”。故選A。

【3】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段中Benin-born musician Angelique Kidjo has won a major human rights award, along with three African youth activist movements.可知出生于貝寧的音樂(lè)家Angelique Kidjo和三個(gè)非洲青年活動(dòng)家運(yùn)動(dòng)一起獲得了一項(xiàng)重大人權(quán)獎(jiǎng)。以及通讀全文可知本文主要介紹了良心大使獎(jiǎng)獲得者，貝寧出生的音樂(lè)家Angelique Kidjo的主要貢獻(xiàn)及成就，尤其是在維護(hù)人權(quán)和爭(zhēng)取自由方面的貢獻(xiàn)。故選D。

詞義猜測(cè)題是高考閱讀理解中�？碱}型之一，可以大致分為

① 定義猜詞，可以根據(jù)定義信息和舉例猜測(cè)詞義。如文中常用refer to,be called或that's to say,such as等。

② 邏輯猜詞可以根據(jù)同義詞、反義詞、因果關(guān)系詞等猜測(cè)詞義，例如similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜詞與這些提示詞前/后面部分的含義一樣、相反或是前因后果。

③ 語(yǔ)法猜詞，可以根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法，再結(jié)合上下文進(jìn)行猜詞。

④ 語(yǔ)境猜詞，猜測(cè)詞義離不開上下文的語(yǔ)境，通過(guò)上下文提供的情景和線索進(jìn)行合理的分析，同時(shí)還要關(guān)注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

⑤ 指代猜詞即找出人稱代詞、指示代詞、關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞等所指代的內(nèi)容，做題時(shí)要注意指代詞的位置，以便于判斷，然后用所找的指代內(nèi)容替換劃線代詞，核實(shí)其邏輯、意義、位置等是否一致，最后比較所找部分與選項(xiàng)，確定意思最接近的選項(xiàng)。

如第二小題，根據(jù)最后一段的第一句Angelique Kidjo fled Benin in the 1980s after being pressured to perform ...中的 fled 和being pressured to perform 可以推出那國(guó)家的政府不可能是一個(gè)幽默的、和平的、自由的政府，而應(yīng)是一個(gè)殘酷的政府。故劃線單詞意思為“殘酷的”。故選A。
