解答 BACB
21. B. 主旨大意,本文通过第一段提到Many experts say that Billy Wilder changed the history of American movies.可知本文讲述的是Billy Wilder对于美国电影的贡献,故选B项.
22. A. 排序题. 根据文章内容可知他首先学习法学,再去美国定居,然后讲到组成一个写作团,最后获得六次奥斯卡奖,所以答案是A.
23. C. 细节理解题.根据文中句子"However,the Nazis had risen to power in the nation.Wilder was Jewish,and he recognized that he had no future in Nazi Germany.Then he left Europe for America."当纳粹开始执政,他是犹太人,不得不离开欧洲去美国,所以答案选C.
24. B.推理判断题,根据最后一段"He had an unusual way of showing relations between men and women.For example,one of his most successful films was"Hold Back the Dawn."他用一种不同方式来表现男女之间的关系,说明他的导演方式与众不同,所以答案选B.
点评 一、速读全文,了解大意知主题.
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面.阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力.考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质.
二、看题干,带着问题读文章.
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等.其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位.此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率.
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题.
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义.要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全.推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等.
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎.
猜词是应用英语的重要能力.它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇.我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义.
