Question

【题目】For Iris grace, the world used to be a lonely place. The autistic (自闭症的) five-year-old girl seldom spoke and she often got nervous while being with other children.

Iris has been taught art since she was three years old. She spends most of her time painting. She paints so well that her works sell for at least 1, 500 pounds each. However, nothing could stop her loneliness until a cat called Thula came to live with the family last February. After Thula arrived, Iris’s parents have noticed Iris adding images like a cat’s eyes or nose to her paintings. At first, they thought Iris drew them by accident, but now they believe Iris is expressing her love to Thula in her paintings.

While Iris is painting, Thula always sits at her side and watches her with great interest. And when the family go out in the car, Iris always takes Thula with her.

Thula is having an influence on Iris’s relationships with others, too, and her parents find it easier to encourage her to speak when Thula is around Iris’s mother said, “Thanks to Thula, Iris is a lot happier than ever before.”

1、仔细研读语段，整体感知文章内容。通常阅读一篇文章，第一遍需要速读，首先要重点理解文章的体裁是记叙文还是说明文。答题时切忌文章都没完整的阅读过，就匆匆忙忙地写答案。最好先把文章从头到尾通读一遍，对文章有一个整体的认识和理解。

2、巧妙借助"原话"，确定解题空间。在通读全文的基础上，将要回答的问题放到阅读的文章中来，再去浏览所要回答的试题，经过初步的思考，确定解决问题的阅读空间。有些试题它要求用文中原话来回答，我们就可以用文中的原话来作答，这时就可以"从文章中直接提取信息"来回答问题。

3、合理控制答题时间，先易后难。应浏览阅读理解的全文，了解阅读理解全文的概貌。看完后，应记住阅读理解文章的要点，阅读理解重要的结论以及阅读理解中的一些关键性的人名、地点、定义和数字。碰到阅读理解的难题时，千万不要钻牛角尖，耽误太多时间。
