12.Dear Mr.Jones,I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from someone living as near as your next-door neighbor; but I have to raise a subject that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing.
You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running alongside the fence that separates our two gardens.You may also have taken pleasure in the frequent sight of your two children sitting on your lawn directly by the fence.And you may also have noticed that my apple trees,so to speak,bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest.
It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest.And it is not only natural,but,I acknowledge,quite legal,for them occasionally to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.
But to be plain with you,Mr.Jones,I am tired of seeing your children,day after day,tear the branches off the side of every one of my apple trees,and leave my trees looking as though a battle had been fought on one side of them.I am,if anything,even more tired of waking up these fine autumn mornings,to find even the apples on my side of the fence much less in number.I know this is the work of your children,since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making climbing one of my trees,and (as they may have told you) chased them home.
While I am on the subject,I am at least grateful to you for keeping your bonfires on the far side of your garden this year.Last year neither I nor your children had any apples,because the smoke from your bonfire destroyed all the flowers before the apples had time to form.I hope that next year-for the first time since I came to this village-I shall have my apples,and your children will have theirs and that the sight of the line of apple trees will be a pride to us both.
Otherwise,I shall not express my displeasure simply in writing to you,but shall have to refer the matter to those capable of taking stronger action.
Yours sincerely,

点评 阅读的基本解题思路:
第一,扫描提干,划关键项.
第二,通读全文,抓住中心:
1.通读全文,抓两个重点:①首段(中心句、核心概念常在第一段,常在首段出题);②其他各段的段首和段尾句.(其他部分略读,有重点的读)
2.抓住中心,用一分半时间思考3个问题:①文章叙述的主要内容是什么?②文章中有无提到核心概念?③作者的大致态度是什么?
第三,仔细审题,返回原文.(仔细看题干,把每道题和原文的某处建立联系,挂起钩)
定位原则:①通常是由题干出发,使用寻找关键词定位原则.(关键词:大写字母、地名、时间、数字等)②自然段定位原则.出题的顺序与行文的顺序是基本一致的,一般每段对应一题.要树立定位意识,每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位.
第四,重叠选项,得出答案.(重叠原文=对照原文)
1.通过题干返回原文:判断四个选项,抓住选项中的关键词,把选项定位到原文的某处比较,重叠选项,选出答案.
2.作题练习要求:要有选一个答案的理由和其余三个不选的理由.
