【1】推理判断题，由文中 A lot of people came in and said，"The picture on your door is wrong．"and they all stopped and drank in Mr．Webster's bar．可知 很多人说，"你的门上个照片是错误的，"他们都停下来，在韦伯斯特先生的酒吧喝东西，所以他让韦伯斯特换照片因为他知道这样能成功招揽顾客，顾客会进来对图指指点点，故选D。

【2】推理判断题，由文中"But the name of the bar is‘The White Horse'．"Mr．Webster said．可知"但酒吧的名字是"白马威士忌，"韦伯斯特先生说，可见他并没有一开始想着去换这个图，故选A。

【3】细节理解题，由文中"There's a mistake on the door of your bar，and the picture is different from the name．"The man looked，sat down and drank something．Then another man came in and said the same，and then another and another．A lot of people came in and said，"The picture on your door is wrong．"可知，"你酒吧的门上有个错误，图片和名称不符．"那人看了，坐下来，喝了一些东西．然后另一个男人走了进来，说同样的话，一个接一个而来．很多人说，"你的门上个照片是错误的"故选D。

【4】推理判断题，韦伯斯特先生听取了陌生人的意见，来往的人才络绎不绝，可见陌生人比Webster先生聪明，一开始就知道这样能招揽生意，故选A。

【5】文章主旨题，本文主要讲述了韦伯斯特先生的酒吧没有人来，有个陌生人指点他换个图，他听取了陌生人的意见，结果来的人络绎不绝，所以这篇文章告诉我们要是遇到困难，可以听取别人的意见，故选B。

（一）主旨题

主旨题主要考查学生对短文中心思想或作者意图的掌握。做此类题时，应通读全文，理解文章大意，充分理解主题句的意义。短文往往围绕主题句展开，主题句通常出现在短文第一句或最后一句。

（二）细节题

细节题是用来进一步表达主题，体现中心思想的，往往针对短文某个细节来设题。做此类题时，应快速捕捉信息，可能是一些事例、数字等，阅读时要有针对性。

（三）推断题

推断题就是根据某个事实推断结论，主要考查学生的理解力和推断力。这类推断通常包括：数据事实推断、常识推断以及作者的写作目的、态度和倾向等的推断。做此类题时，应根据短文中的相关语句，对与事实有关的细节加以分析，找出线索，悟出字里行间的意思，反复比较，从而作出合乎逻辑的判断。

（四）猜测词义题

猜测词义题主要考查学生根据上下文正确判断灵活变化的词义能力。一般情况下，推断词义的题目中所出现的单词，大多数是学生未曾见过的生词，学生需要在该词出现的上下文中去寻找线索。通过阅读上下文，断定该词的真正含义，然后将这个释义代入文中，检查是否贴切，仔细比较直到得出该词的确切的含义。

1.通过因果关系猜词

通过因果关系猜词，首先是找出生词与上下文之间的逻辑关系，然后才能猜词。有时文章借助关联词(如because，as，since，for，so，thus，asaresult，ofcourse，therefore等等)表示前因后果

2.通过同义词和反义词的关系猜词

通过同义词猜词，一是要看由and或or连接的同义词词组，二是看在进一步解释的过程中使用的同义词，通过反义词猜词，一是看表转折关系的连词或副词，如but，while，however等；二是看与not搭配的或表示否定意义的词语

（五）正误判断题

正误判断题主要考查学生对文章的具体事实、信息的理解能力。一般是根据文章的事实或细节，给出一个句子，判断其正误。这类题比较直接，难度相对较小。做此类题时，应先看题，后带着“问题”快速阅读短文，寻找所需要的信息。
