Question

【题目】Dear Emma，

Your problem is like a circle. It is because you spend less time with them. The harder you study, the less time you have to spend with friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates. So you should spend more time with them.

Look at your classmates. Are there any people with whom you feel you have a lot in common or trust? You can make friends with them first. The advice is as follows:

First, smile at your classmates. Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to your smiles and smile back. Next, talk to your classmates. Do this between classes or during your lunch break. You may find it easier to start by talking to people when they are alone. Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies.

They are likely to respond (回应) in a very positive way. People like to feel important and helpful.

There must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. It might be easier to try to talk with him or her. Your problem is mainly about confidence. Smile first, talk next and slowly you will make friends. The most important point is that: Unless you have more confidence, you can’t make as many friends as you want.

【解析】

本文主要讲了一个名叫艾玛的女孩觉得与同学之间的相处出现了问题，编辑给了她一些建议：先微笑，后交流，慢慢地就会交到朋友了。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段“Your problem is like a circle. It is because you spend less time with them.”你的问题就像一个圈子，因为你花在他们身上的时间越来越少。以此可以推测出，因为她和她同学相处时间少才造成这个问题，故答案为Because she spends less time with her classmates.

【2】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“So you should spend more time with them.”所以你应该花更多的时间和他们相处。可知，她应该花更多的时间和同学们在一起。故答案为She should spend more time with her classmates.

【3】细节理解题。根据第三段“talk to your classmates. Do this between classes or during your lunch break.”和你的同学交谈，在课间或午休时间这样做。可知，她应该在课间或午休时间跟同学们交流。故答案为She should do it between classes or during her lunch break.

【4】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Smile first, talk next and slowly you will make friends.”先微笑，后交流，慢慢你就会交到朋友。可知，编辑给了艾玛两条建议：先微笑在交流。故答案为He gives Emma three pieces of advice.

【5】细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“The most important point is that: Unless you have more confidence, you can’t make as many friends as you want.”最重要的一点是：除非你有更多的自信，否则你不可能交到你想要的那么多朋友。可知，艾玛的主要问题是自信。故答案为Her problem is mainly about confidence.

本篇阅读理解是任务型阅读中回答问题型。此类任务型阅读要求我们根据短文、表格、图片或图文结合的材料回答命题者设定的问题，所设置的任务通过事实或细节的查找就能完成，与普通阅读理解的解题方法相似，只是题目设计采用了主观题形式，没有给出选项，需要我们从材料中寻求信息，以一个完整的句子，或者是其适当的缩略形式作答。

从问题所涉及的内容看，考查文本表层理解多于深层理解，其设计的问题多为5W1H或一般疑问句的细节性问题，如：第1，3，5小题则属于5W细节性问题，第2，4小题属于1H细节性问题； 而涉及推理判断、文章主旨、写作意图及作者态度、感受等的题目则少之又少。

该题型的解题方法是跳读（定位）查找法。这个方法的要点在于先看题干，带着问题去读文章。做这类题时可以边读边做记号，能加强阅读的针对性，提高做题的准确率，节省宝贵的时间。如：第3小题，我们可以快速找到“talk to her classmates”的字眼，然后定位，就能找到准确答案。

此类题型是学生失分较多的题型之一，要求学生有较扎实的语言基础和较强的综合运用英语的能力。
