Question

【題目】Comments on the July Issue of Reader’s Digest

Jennie Gardner, Bath

I couldn’t agree more with Lee Child, that books are really important. Yes, you can get lost in them but you can also find yourself and new worlds and possibilities in them. Books help us to forget and remember. They remind us both of what's really important and what’s not.

And, as Lee says, they let us hold the whole world in our hands, We can feel the weight of this word, we can mark our favourite spots, add in our own thoughts and see our progress through the pages as the story leads us back home, allowing us to re-find ourselves along the way.

Jayne Wile, North Wales

Brian Blessed’s I Remember was most enjoyable. I love Brian, a popular actor of stage and screen. It was interesting to learn more about his life. I noted how he enjoyed being involved in the Space Program, doing 600 hours training in Moscow and I have to agree with his thought：”We need to get out to Mars because the Earth has got to rest.” Mars has always been a source of inspiration for explorers and scientists.

Melanie Lodge, West Yorkshire

I was thrilled to read author Lee Childs If I Ruled The World. I was most impressed that he wanted to make teachers the most respected and highest paid professionals.

I work as a teaching assistant in a primary school and have done so since my youngest daughter began school 12 years ago. Until then I had no idea just how much planning was involved in each lesson and how much patience was required in a class of 30 children! I also agree with Lee that there’s nothing more rewarding than finishing a good book.

這是一篇應用文。主要為三位讀者對《讀者文摘》七月號的評論。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段I couldn’t agree more with Lee Child, that books are really important. Yes, you can get lost in them but you can also find yourself and new worlds and possibilities in them.（我非常同意Lee Child的觀點，書真的很重要。是的，你可以迷失在其中，但你也可以發(fā)現自己和新的世界和可能性。）可知Jennie Gardner的評論主要是關于書在生活中意味著很多。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段中I noted how he enjoyed being involved in the Space Program, doing 600 hours training in Moscow and I have to agree with his thought：”We need to get out to Mars because the Earth has got to rest.”（我注意到他是多么喜歡參與太空計劃，在莫斯科進行600小時的訓練，我不得不同意他的想法:“我們需要去火星，因為地球必須休息。”）可知Jayne Wile認為有必要探索火星。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據最后一段中I work as a teaching assistant in a primary school and have done so since my youngest daughter began school 12 years ago.（我在一所小學做助教，自從我最小的女兒12年前開始上學以來，我就一直在做助教。）可推知從Melanie Lodge的話中我們可以推斷出她更懂得如何教書。故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段第一句I couldn’t agree more with Lee Child, that books are really important.（我非常同意Lee Child的觀點，書真的很重要。）以及最后一段最后一句I also agree with Lee that there’s nothing more rewarding than finishing a good book.（我也同意李的觀點，沒有什么比讀完一本好書更值得的了。）可知Jennie Gardner和Melanie Lodge有相似的觀點。故選D。

文章主題和中心思想的闡述往往需要大量細節(jié)信息的支持，這些細節(jié)對于理解全文內容至關重要，同時也是歸納和概括文章中心思想的基礎。命題人往往會要求考生根據不同的要求閱讀文章，以獲得某些特定的信息，或準確地尋求所需的細節(jié)，并對細節(jié)進行直接或間接辨認和理解。有一種文章細節(jié)理解題是一一對應型。答案與題目在表達形式和意義上直接吻合，一一對應，一目了然。屬于淺層次的閱讀試題，分數比例較少。解答此類試題時，不必通篇細看原文，而應采取“帶著問題找答案”的方法，先從問題中抓住關鍵性詞語（題眼），然后以此為線索，運用略讀及查讀的技巧快速在文章中尋找與此問題相關的：段落、語句，仔細品味，對照比較，確定答案。如第二小題，根據第三段中I noted how he enjoyed being involved in the Space Program, doing 600 hours training in Moscow and I have to agree with his thought：”We need to get out to Mars because the Earth has got to rest.”（我注意到他是多么喜歡參與太空計劃，在莫斯科進行600小時的訓練，我不得不同意他的想法:“我們需要去火星，因為地球必須休息�！保┛芍�Jayne Wile認為有必要探索火星。故選C。
