6.What are American high schools like?Well,I'm happy to tell you what I know.
When I started school here,it had already been a week since the school opened.At this school,freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school.Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip,which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates.I was really sad.I wished I'd known about it earlier.
Despite the disappointment,however,I gradually adapted to my new life and school.
There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other.As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates,the school wants us to get to know each other there.Students usually come to school early,sit in that space and have fun.Around the space,there are many lockers for students to leave their books in,so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks.We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy,like bricks.For other classes,we only need binders (活頁夾) with paper in them.Without textbooks,students learn things freely and actively.For example,my humanities teaher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time.We never know what we will learn.
Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students'morality more than their academic studies.For example,if you do not finish your homework,you will just be asked to do it later,but if you cheat or lie,you will get a warning or even be kicked out.
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well,but compared to Chinese students,they can make learning a more joyful experience.I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.

解答 BCCA
24:B 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段的三、四句"Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip,which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates.I was really sad."可知,作者對自己沒有趕上開學時的旅行而遺憾.故正確答案為B.
25:C 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)第四段第一句"There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other"可知,孩子們?nèi)ソ虒W樓地下室目的是結(jié)識同學、聊天和玩.其它選項均不符合文意.故正確答案為C.
26:C 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)第五段前三句"We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy,like bricks.For other classes,we only need binders(活頁夾) with paper in them.Without textbooks,students learn things freely and actively."可知,在美國學校里,部分學科有教材,而部分學科沒有教材,老師教學內(nèi)容比較隨意.故正確答案為C.
27:A 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句中的"but if you cheat or lie,you will get a warning or even be kicked out"可知,作弊有可能被學校開除.故正確答案為A.
點評 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(nèi)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(zhì).
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(diào)等,這類題必須經(jīng)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.
