分析 本文属于说明文阅读,主要讲述的是电视和报刊杂志这两种媒体各自的优点和缺点.
解答 16.B.推理判断题.根据横线后两句Watching them is pleasant and does not require the effort of reading.If television did not cover the news,some people would know nothing about what is going on in the world.可知本段主要讲述的是电视的作用,看电视很令人愉悦,而且看电视努力.如果我们不看电视,我们就不会知道世界上所发生的事情.故B项"Television news shows are impressive and interesting."与本段中心思想是一致的;故选B.
17.G.推理判断题.根据横线前面一句Viewers are quickly bored with reporters who sit and talk into the camera.观众很快就厌倦了看着记者报道这些新闻.说明本段主要讲述的是电视的弱点,选项中只有G项"As a result,a complicated story is often cut short."在叙述电视报道的弱点;故选G.
18.F.推理判断题.文章二、三段在叙述电视的弱点,在第四段中叙述的是另外一种媒体:报刊杂志的优点.根据横线后两句They can include details,and a person with a special interest can take the time to read them.Otherscan stick to the headlines在报刊杂志中,可以详细地报道细节,同时还可以通过大标题了解中心思想.所以F项"newspapers and magazines do a better job of explaining complex events."新闻报刊可以报道复杂的事件,与上一段最后一句的G项相呼应;故选F.
19.D.推理判断题.根据横线前一句Reading allows more freedom of choice than television阅读给读者选择阅读内容的自由,而电视观众只能观看电视里播放的内容,观众是没有自由的.故D项"The TV audience cannot decide which stories to watch."与前一句相一致;故选D.
20.E.推理判断题.根据文章However,a person who has individual interests and who wants the whole story needs newspapers and magazines as well.可知对某个事件有兴趣的人可以在报刊杂志里阅读到更多的信息,而电视只能让观众知道所发生的事情,电视的报道不够深入.故E项"Television provides a useful glance at what's happening."与上下文一致;故选E.
点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.
"Excuse me.I need to get these."I said."So?"She pushed her glasses(19)B her nose."There's no one here except you and me and I'm not your(20)B.Go get them.If you're lucky you'll finish shopping by sundown."Sundown was five hours(21)B.I wasn't sure l would(22)Ait.How could I hope to find anything on the packed,jumbled(乱堆的)shelves around me?I visited Miss Bee several times a week.Sometimes she short-charged me.Other times she overcharged.(23)D she sold me a/an(24)Dnewspaper instead of one that was current.Going to the store was more like going into battle.
"That bread is only twenty-nine cents!"I corrected her one afternoon.I had watched the numbers change on the cash register (收款机) closely,and Miss Bee had added 35cents.She didn't seem(25)Bthat I had caught her(26)B.She just looked at me and(27)C.the price.
All summer I learned the hard way to(28)Amy list.But she still found ways to(29)D me into making mistakes.No sooner had I memorized the items'location on the shelf than Miss Bee(30)Bthe shelves and made me hunt for(31)Aall over again.The morning I was to (31)D to Brooklyn,I stopped in to get a packet of gum.
"All right,"she said."What did you learn this summer?"She was mean!I pressed my lips together.To my (33)A,Miss Bee laughed."I know what you think of me,"she said."but when you get older you'll be glad our paths(34)B!"Glad I met Miss Bee?The idea was(35)C.
Now I grow up and I finally understand I really learned a lot from Miss Bee.
