题目内容
【题目】I come from Santiago, the capital of Chile. There are two separate areas in Santiago. There is an area for the very rich people and there is a part for the poor people. I come from the poor side of the city. The very rich people never cross over to the poor side of the city. But sometimes the poor people save their money and cross over to visit the beach on the rich side.
Dad drove buses. He would leave for work just after 4 am. His pay depended on the number of people who rode in his bus, so he would keep driving until he had made enough money for the day. Mum worked as a barber(理发师). She did not come home until late at night. My brother, sister and I spent a lot of time with my grandparents.
Dad had lived in Australia when he was younger. He told us about the large parks covered with grass. He told us about the beaches that were close to the cities which anyone could visit. Dad thought it would be better if we moved to Australia.
We could only take things that could fit in our suitcases(手提箱). I took clothes and a few special things that reminded(使......想起) me of Chile. I took photographs, a box covered with sand from the beaches of Chile and traditional toy.
I was very sad to leave my friends and family, especially my grandmother. My grandmoter had always looked after me. I didn’t want to leave her, but Dad said that she would come and visit us in Australia one day. When I left, I cut off some of my hair so that my grandmother would remember me.
Flying to Australia was a long journey. We stopped in Argentina and New Zealand before finally reaching Australia.

推理判断题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存,推理是为了得出正确的判断,正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容,在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁,透过字里行间,去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类:(1)细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等;(2)逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因;(3)目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述,推断作者的写作目的以及作者的情感态度;(4)预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明,要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。例如:本题中的第4小题:此题属于推理判断型中的(4)预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明,要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。例如小题3属于第二类,答案定位在第四段I took clothes and a few special things that reminded(使......想起) me of Chile. I took photographs, a box covered with sand from the beaches of Chile and traditional toy.可知作者在随家人搬往澳大利亚时,随身携带了一些可以让自己想起智利的物品,由此推断出作者爱他的祖国,故选D。
【题目】请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
A person might have a great job, a nice house, and a great group of friends. They might feel they have everything they need, and so, they just settle, stop moving and pushing themselves. After all, their life seems to be going fine. You might have seen this with friends or acquaintances. This is fine for a time; but the problem is, when people stop moving or pushing themselves, the world keeps spinning. Time moves forward. Staying in the same place and not seeking self-improvement has the exact same effect as moving backwards.
We’re living in a period of technological and social advancement never before seen. Technology has moved and developed more over the past one hundred years than it had in the previous thousand. With this speed of advancement, it’s easy to fall behind. Even if a person’s life seems to be going well now, and they don’t seek improvement, several years down the line, they may find that their lack of advancement and development in important skills may cause big problems in their lives. A person today who is comfortable in a job may be replaced by a machine tomorrow. Many people might soon find themselves out of a job.
Basically, no matter how hard we try, it’s impossible to predict how things will change over the next few years. We don’t know what skills will or won’t be needed. Nor do we know how our lives may change over the next few years. Something as simple as a new piece of technology can have an incredible impact on our lives. Because of this, you need to be ready to adapt and not fall into the trap of brief contentment.
A careful equation of things in your life and your skills is extremely useful. Pick one of your skills or an area of your life, and then critically evaluate it. Ask yourself how useful it is going to remain and how it is going to adapt to changing circumstances. After reviewing your skills and knowledge you’ll be able to decide which should be abandoned and which should be improved. It’s like throwing away old tools and devices that don’t work or are no longer useful, and replacing them with new better ones.
