Question

　　A friend's grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe(东欧). After being processed(移民入境检查) at Ellis Island, he went into cafeteria(自助餐厅) in lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order(点菜). Of course nobody did. At last, a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

　　“Start out at that end,”she said.“Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay.”

　　“I soon learned that's how everything works in America,”the grandfather told a friend.“Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want only if you are willing(愿意) to pay the money. You can even get success(成功), but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”

Answer 1

答案：B;A;D
解析：

解析：第1题要求考生找出这篇短文的最佳标题。这种类型的题目不仅考查考生对短文的理解，更重要的是考查考生在理解短文的基础上进行归纳小结，了解这篇短文内在意义的能力。通读全文后，了解到这篇短文讲的是一位老人第一次在美国自助餐厅用餐的经历，领悟到在美国生活就像在自助餐厅用餐一样，一切要靠自己这一道理。所以选项B是正确的。 　　平时地理、历史方面知识的积累也有利于解答阅读理解题。如果知道波兰是欧洲国家，再理解了文章的第一句话，就不难选出第2题A是正确答案。 　　解答第3题，应善于抓住有用的信息，理解短文的意思，特别是文章的开头和结尾。文章的第一句常包含了全文的主要信息或基本观点；而结尾部分常是结局或结论。寓言或幽默文章的结尾也往往是点睛之笔。做第3题时，如果理解了短文的最后两句的意思，就不难得出在美国你要想获得成功，绝不可等待别人的恩赐，要靠自己努力。答案D是很明显的了。 　　阅读理解的关键是“理解”。同学们如果能在理解的基础上，采用合适的方法，阅读理解题是并不难做的。
