10.Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100places to visit"to"100books to read".Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of"101things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However,not every dolphin will welcome having their busy,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water.Worse yet,when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists,they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).
Here's a little secret.Dolphins look like smiling at you,but actually they're just opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile.The 6million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong,after all.But they can be quite annoying,standing in front of you,holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything.In fact,it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons.After queuing for hours,many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate,she wouldn't just be smiling,she'd be laughing.
So,still long to see the Mona Lisa?If you want to find out more about the list,read 101Tings NOT to Do Before You Die.Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.

分析 这篇文章的作者对所谓的《100个必须旅游的地方》、《100本必须要读的书》等书是持抵制和鄙视态度的.也正是因为如此,他出炉了《101件死前不要做的事》.在这些事情中,和海豚一起游泳其实是对海豚生命的伤害和威胁;去看蒙娜丽莎的微笑,也会因为人满为患而索然无趣…但说到底,他是为了自己的新书打广告.
解答 60.D 细节理解题.根据Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?部分的"Worse yet,when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists,they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)."可知,和海豚一起游泳会对海豚造成危险,故选D.
61.B 推理判断题.根据Go to See the Mona Lisa?部分的"In fact,it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons.After queuing for hours,many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most."事实上,你很难看到这幅画,因为安全原因你必须远离它.在排队几个小时后,许多游客可以停留在绘画前面的时间只有15秒.可知,去看蒙娜丽莎的微笑并不像预期的那样令人满意.故选B.
62.D 推理判断题.根据"Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of"101 things not to do:"可知.虽有借踩踏其他名单而抬高自己之嫌,但是作者想提供不同于其他列表的列表,故选D.
63.A 写作意图题.根据最后一段的"If you want to find out more about the list,read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die.Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount."可知,作者终极目的是要把读者拉到他的网站来买书,还提供八折购书.故选A.
点评 本文是科教类阅读,考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
