Question

【题目】 My name is Tim. I asked three of my friends how they had changed since they came to our middle school. And here are their answers.

Robin	I didn’t do well in my study before, but since I began to study in this school, things have changed. The teachers here are all energetic, active and helpful. They always encourage me by saying “I’m sure you can make it” or “You are one of the cleverest students I have ever met”. These words really mean a lot to me. Now I’m one of the top students in my class, and I like studying as well.
Alex	I used to be a fat boy who could hardly run 500 meters. When I entered the middle school, my father worried that I would be laughed at by my new classmates, so he decided to do morning exercises with me every day. It really worked. Now I’m used to running and exercising in the morning, and I am slim and strong. Beside, my P.E. teacher thinks I can be a good runner in the future!
Jason	I used to like to be alone and didn’t feel like talking to anyone. But when I met Robin and Alex, I found that they were really good people. Then gradually we became closer and finally became good friends. Thanks to them, I’m talkative and outgoing now, and I have made many other friends, I talk and play with my friends every day and each day I feel happy.

【解析】

本文主要是蒂姆问罗宾、艾利克斯和詹森自从上中学后他们有了哪些改变，并以表格的形式展示了他们的回答。

【1】细节理解题。根据表格第一行“The teachers here are all energetic, active and helpful. They always encourage me…”可知，罗宾的老师们非常乐于助人，经常鼓励他，故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据表格第二行“…my father worried that I would be laughed at by my new classmates, so he decided to do morning exercises with me every day.”可知，爸爸担心艾利克斯太胖被同学嘲笑，所以每天早上带他锻炼身体，故选C。

【3】词义猜测题。根据表格第三行“I used to like to be alone and didn’t feel like talking to anyone.”和“…I’m talkative and outgoing now…”可知，詹森以前不爱说话，遇见了好朋友后就变得更加外向和健谈了，所以talkative应该意为“健谈的”，故选C。

本文是一篇表格类阅读文，一般这类文章中每个部分的关联性不大，做题时可以直接提取关键词并定位到某一个部分寻找答案。本题的表格分为三行，每行对应一个学生和他们所说的话。做题时可从题干里寻找他们的名字快速定位到某一行。例如小题1提到Robin，可以直接在表格第一行中寻找相关信息；小题2提到Alex，可以直接在表格第二行中寻找相关信息，再结合题干中的do exercise，可定位到第二句话，仔细阅读即可得出答案。
