分析 这篇短文为我们讲述了一个关于Frank的故事.Frank在公司里总是挨老板的骂.有一天他收到了一个足球赌博公司的信,信上说他中了很多钱.Frank很高兴,在老板又要责骂他的时候,他毫不犹豫的进行了反击.但是那天晚上两个人来找Frank,说那个足球赌博公司可能寄错了信.
解答 51.A 推理判读题.根据文章的第一句话Frank Smithson woke up and got up to turn off the alarm clock,Frank醒来关掉闹钟,由此我们可以推断Frank是一个比较懒惰的人.B 选项说他是一个幸运的人,由故事的结尾我们可以知道他并不幸运;C选项说他赚了很多钱,由故事的结尾我们也可以知道这不是真的;D选项说他和老板相处的好,由文章的意思我们知道这是不对的.故选A.
52.A 推理判断题 根据前文可知,Frank以为自己中了大奖,再也不用在公司做工作挣那点钱了,所以他敢对老板吼,故答案为A
53.D 推理判断题.根据文章的最后一段,当Frank听到敲门声时,他rush to the door,他冲到了门那,可见他非常的兴奋,加上他以为自己中了大奖,所以他应该是以为是他的朋友们来祝贺他来了.故选D.A意为有人来道歉;B意为他的同事来安慰他;C意为他的邻居来询问足球彩票的事.这些选项都不符合文意.
54.A 推理判读题.当听到…there's been a terrible mistake…,有一个可怕的错误的时候,Frank感觉怎样.我们首先推断一下这个错误是什么,之前我们知道Frank以为自己中了奖,但现在这个足球赌博公司的人却说他们犯了一个错误,那么这个错误肯定跟他的中奖有关,既然错了,那么也就是说其实Frank并没有中奖,所以这个时候Frank应该是感到很失望,故选A.
点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
I received a call from(23)Din a quiet part of town.When I arrived at 2:30a.m.,the building was(24)Aexcept for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and(25)B."Just a minute,"answered a(26)D,elderly voice.After a long pause,the door opened.A small woman(27)Cher 80s stood before me.Beside her was a small suitcase.I took it to the taxi.and then returned to(28)Athe woman.She took my arm and we walked(29)Dtoward the roadside.
Seated,she gave me(30)B."I'm on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院).I'm in no hurry.Can you drive through downtown?"I saw her eyes shining with(31)Cin the rearview mirror."I don't have any(32)Aleft."she continued."The doctor says I don't have very long."
During the next two hours'(33)B,sometimes she asked me to(34)Cin front of a particular building or corner and she(35)Astare into the darkness.When we got to the destination,she asked,"How much do I(36)Dyou?""Nothing,"I said."You(37)Cmake a living."she answered."I have(38)Bpassengers,"I replied,and gave her a hug. She held onto me(39)D."You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,"she said."Thank you."
After that,I drove aimlessly,lost in thought.People usually believe that our lives center upon great moments.(40)Bgreat moments often catch us unaware,beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
