For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a 36 performer carefully steps 37 a bed of burning coals -- barefoot. Then he walks across 38 a single burn on his feet. Is it mind over matter, or is it just physics? As it turns

That’s because some coals are made 43 burning wood chips. Wood has two 44__ properties(特性)for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator(绝缘体)--it doesn’t __45 heat very well. “It 46 _ time for heat to travel 47 the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal 48 , that would truly be 49 , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would 50 burn a performer’s feet.

Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to 51 its temperature. Heat is a form of 52 . Temperature is a 53 of heat, in units of degrees. So 54 the coals are hot, the value(数值)of heat energy they contain is low. Thus, a well-trained performer can 55 such an amazing result.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

“Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”

The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.

“I will answer your question.”

Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this: “When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.

I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and crevices(裂缝)

and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.

I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.

I am a fragment(碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.”

1. On hearing the author’s question, Dr. Papaderos __________ at first.

A. laughed at his foolishness

B. wasn’t sure of the answer

C. doubted his seriousness

D. wasn’t interested at all

2. How did Dr. Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?

A. He found it on the road and made it round.

B. A dying German soldier gave him as a present.

C. He chanced to find it in the street while playing.

D. He put the broken pieces together and made it.

3. Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?

A. Because he was too poor to afford other toys.

B. Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn’t rea ch.

C. Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.

D. Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him.

4. The underlined “metaphor” in the 7th paragraph most probably means _____ .

A. symbol

B. source

C. light

D. purpose

5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. A Special Game in the Childhood

B. A Broken Piece of Mirror

C. Dr. Papaderos’ Experience

D. The Meaning of Life

Redheaded birthday boy Jake Balcom, newly 11, walked into the principal’s office at Centennial Lane Elementary School in Ellicott City ready for his big surprise. His name had been announced over the loudspeaker moments earlier. Today was going to be special.

Back in the day—like, before fifth grade —Jake’s parents would bring cupcakes to school in his honor. But this year, for the first time, his Howard County school has forbidden parents from bringing “edible treats” for students’ birthdays. That means no more cupcakes, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, ice cream, Rice Krispies treats or pizza. Instead, Jake got a handshake from Principal Robert Bruce and a colorful pencil and a card.

“We hope that you have a terrific birthday,” the card read.

Jake just smiled, and went back to class.

Centennial Lane is part of a movement across the Washington area and the country to take the battle against childhood obesity to one of education’s most beloved functions: the school party. But some are worried that the fight is going one step too far—and taking some of the fun out of being a kid.

Schools, where many children eat two of their day’s meals, are being pushed to the front lines of the battle against kiddy bulge. A federal law requires schools to create wellness policies that encourage students to be more active and eat more healthfully. Some schools in Virginia have started exercise clubs. In Maryland, schools are cracking down on vending-machine junk food.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), the proportion of overweight children ages 6 to 11 has skyrocketed in recent decades, from 7 percent in 1980 to 16 percent in 2002. Among 12 to 19-year-olds, the rate of obesity more than tripled, from 5 percent to 16 percent. Health officials have called obesity a pandemic (流行病).

At Centennial Lane, the principal said some parents have complained about the school’s new policy, and others have adapted by bringing in nonfood treats—such as rulers or erasers.

Jake Balcom said he missed bringing treats to school. But he wasn’t too bothered by their absence because he had celebrated his birthday with friends. They went to see the movie “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” and shared his birthday cake at his house.

1. What is Jake Balcom’s reaction to his gifts for his 11-year-old birthday from his school ?

A. He felt puzzled by the gifts quite different from the former ones.

B. He almost felt the same as before because he had celebrated his birthday with friends.

C. He preferred chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, ice cream than pencils and cards.

D. He would rather have a birthday party than a handshake from the principal.

答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节推理题。由第四段“Jake just smiled, and went back to class.”和最后一段“But he wasn’t too bothered by their absence because he had celebrated his birthday with friends.”可知,答案为B。

2. The underlined phrase “kiddy bulge” (in Paragraph 6 ) means “______”.

A. parents’ gifts

B. childrne’s parties

C. kids’ overweight

D. children’s exercises

答案解析:答案为C。本题为词义推测题。结合该词所在的下文“…that encourage students to be more active and eat more healthfully. Some schools in Virginia have started exercise clubs. In Maryland, schools are cracking down on vending-machine junk food.”和下一段的首句“…the proportion of overweight children ages 6 to 11 ….”可知,答案为C。

3. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?

A. Parents all agree that the fight against childhood obesity is going too far.

B.According to CDCP, the proportion of overweight children has had a tendency of increasing.

C. For this year’s Halloween party, kids can enjoy what they like as usual.

D. Jake Balcom is a primary school pupil in fourth grade.

答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节题。由倒数第三段的数据“…from 7 percent in 1980 to 16 percent in 2002. Among 12 to 19-year-olds, the rate of obesity more than tripled, from 5 percent to 16 percent...”可知,肥胖儿童的比例已经呈现增长趋势,故答案B正确。

由第五段“… to take the battle against childhood obesity to one of education’s most beloved functions: the school party. But some are worried that the fight is going one step too far—and taking some of the fun out of being a kid.”可知,选项A错误。由第二段“That means no more cupcakes, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, ice cream, Rice Krispies treats or pizza. Instead, Jake got a handshake from Principal Robert Bruce and a colorful pencil and a card.”可知,选项C错误。由第二段首句“Back in the day—like, before fifth grade —Jake’s parents would bring cupcakes to school in his honor.”可推理,五年级之前的四年级,父母会带cupcakes到学校,可见Jake Balcom现在应该是五年级的学生了。故选项D错误。

4. Which of the following is the measure taken by the Centennial Lane Elementary School?

A. Starting exercise clubs.

B. Cracking down on vending-machine junk food.

C. Forbidding parents from taking the food to the school.

D. Taking all the fun out of being a kid.

答案解析:答案为C。本题为细节题。题干对Centennial Lane Elementary School 所采取的措施提问。由第二段“…has forbidden parents from bringing “edible treats”for students’ birthdays.”和第五段“Centennial Lane is part of a movement …”可知,C 选项正确。由第六段“Some schools in Virginia have started exercise clubs. In Maryland,

schools are cracking down on vending-machine junk food.”可知,选项A,B错误。第五段最后一句话提到“But some are worried that the fight is going one step too far—and taking some of the fun out of being a kid.”,故选项D错误。

【2015高考复习】阅读理解

One of the most debated issues about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink tend to die sooner than those who do.The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is this:many of those who give up alcohol are actually former hard-core drunks who had already brought health problems associated with drinking.

But a new paper suggests that abstaining(戒除)from alcohol does tend to increase one's risk of dying,even when you leave former problem drinkers out.The most shocking part—abstainers'(禁酒者)mortality rates(死亡率)are higher than those of heavy drinkers. Moderate(适度的)drinking,which is defined as one to three drinks per day,is associated with the lowest mortality rates.Moderate alcohol use is thought to improve heart health,circulation and sociability,which can be important because people who are cut off don't have as many family members and friends who can notice and help treat health problems.

But why would abstaining from alcohol lead to a shorter life?It's true that those who abstain from alcohol tend to be from lower socioeconomic classes,since drinking can be expensive.And people of lower socioeconomic status have more life stressors(压力因素).

Though heavy drinking is associated with higher risk for many diseases,

heavy_drinkers_are_less_likely_to_die_than_don't_drink.One important reason is that alcohol strengthens social interactions,and social interactions are vital for maintaining mental and physical health.Nondrinkers show greater signs of depression.

The authors of the new paper are careful to note that even if drinking is associated with a longer life,it can be dangerous:it can affect your memory severely and it can lead to falls and other troubles that can affect your life.There's also the dependency issue:if you become addicted to alcohol,you may spend a long time trying to get off the bottle.

16.What can we know from the Alcoholics Anonymous explanation and the new paper? A.The former finds that abstainers can live longer than heavy drinkers.

B.The former finds that nondrinkers can live longer than heavy drinkers.

C.The latter finds that healthy abstainers can live shorter than heavy drinkers. D.The latter finds that nondrinkers can live shorter than heavy drinkers.

答案C[细节推理题。由文章第二段的第一句话“即使不算那些之前喝酒后来戒酒的人,不喝酒也确实会导致死亡率升高”可知,C项正确。]

17.Which of the following is the benefit of moderate drinking?

A.It helps blood circulation.

B.It helps remove people's life stressors.

C.It reduces people's association with friends.

D.It can save a lot of money.

答案A[细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句中的“improve heart health,circulation and sociability”可知,A项正确。]

18.What does the underlined sentence (in Para.5)mean?

A.Heavy drinkers can live longer if they give up drinking.

B.Heavy drinkers can live longer even if they don't give up drinking.

C.The mortality rate of heavy drinkers is lower if they don't give up drinking. D.The mortality rate of heavy drinkers will be lower if they give up drinking.

答案C[句意理解题。该句前面说“尽管重度酗酒者犯很多病的几率很大”,该句接下来的两句是对画线句子的解释,“最重要的原因是饮酒可以加强社交联系,这有助于人们的身心健康。因此不喝酒的人更易抑郁。”由此可推断本句的意思是“重度饮酒者不戒酒时死亡率低。”故选C。]

19.It can be learned from the last paragraph that ________.

A.the authors of the new paper support drinking

B.people should start drinking if wanting to live longer

C.many people doubt whether drinking is good for health or not

D.drinking can do harm to people's life

答案D[推理判断题。文章最后一段提到尽管喝酒能够让人长寿,但是喝酒也会给人带来一些危害,“it can be dangerous”是中心词,因此D项正确。]

【2015高考复习】阅读理解

A mother was devastated,crying,yelling all she can in that dark corner.There was nobody to hear her yell and not a soul to calm her,because outside her house is a long winding lonely road.The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle,silence filling the air.Loneliness was already killing her,but no one knows what

made her cry!

Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really the pain

you can ever overcome.Radha lost her baby,her only means to

live.She saw her child getting killed and the accident was

terrible.One lonely night,she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air with her child hugged tight in her arms.

The whole time she walked with her child in her arms,the only thing that worried her was Aryan's future.She was imagining and feeling every day of the child's growth,and figuring what she would have in store for him.But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow,life can change in a second.

On that deserted road,were a few streetlights barely enough?It was this light that could be seen from a disktance,but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter.That light changed Radha's life into darkness forever.A speeding car came down that road.The driver came at a speed of 110 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window.He was definitely drunk,and the speed took everything in its path.Just then,there was a loud cry,and silence set in again.

But the mother wasn't hurt.She opened her eyes,unable to focus her eyes,and didn't see Aryan.After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby,but alas...The child hadn't even seen life.

Simply,don't drink and drive.You_could_take_a_life,but_kill_a_number_of_people. 【语篇导读】一位司机酒后驾车发生事故,夺去了一个充满活力的孩子的生命和一位母亲的全部希望……

16.The underlined word“devastated”in Paragraph 1 would probably mean“_____”.

A.worried B.scared

C.heart-broken D.weather-beaten

答案C[词义猜测题。从该词所在句的“crying,yelling all she can...”可知,这位母亲伤心欲绝,所以devastated语义同heart-broken,选C项。]

B.She got her eyes injured in the accident.

C.She was hit by one bottle on the arm.

阅读理解训练50篇(1) 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC.In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1.“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A.the emotion is harmless B.the emotion is harmful C.the feeling is very strong D.the feeling is hard 2.What statement is right? A.Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症). B.Once you are angry, you must be cancered. C.Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered, D.Anger may cause you a cancer. 3.Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists. A.is just the same as B.is more harmful than C.is no better than D.is much better than 4.According to the author, you'd better _________. A.never be angry B.cool it down before you express it C.laugh and laugh when you get angry D.admit you are wrong when you are angry 二

【英语】高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案

【英语】高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 There might be as many as 10 million species of complex life on this planet today —— a huge number. But add up all of the complex species that ever lived and some biologists think the grand total would be about five billion. The estimate leads to an astonishing conclusion: a staggering 99% of species are not around any more. They have been driven to extinction. More species are joining the ranks of the extinct every year. Many scientists believe we are living through an episode of remarkably rapid extinction, on a scale that has been seen only five times in the last half a billion years. They call this current episode the sixth mass extinction —— a large, global decline in a wide variety of species over a relatively short period of time. And they tend to agree that humans are the main cause. Over-hunting, overfishing, and human-driven habitat loss are pushing many species to the brink. In fact, we have changed the planet so much that some geologists are now suggesting that we have entered a new phase in Earth's history; an epoch they call the "Anthropocene". By 2100, it is expected that humans will have caused the extinction of up to half of the world's current species. Because we are living through this extinction, it is relatively easy for us to study the driving forces behind it. But how do we determine what caused other mass die-offs that happened long ago? To do so we have to look at what archaeologists, palaeontologists, geologists and other scientists have concluded from the evidence they have gathered. The trouble is, those scientists do not always agree with one another —— even about the most recent extinction event. As well as the five-or six- mass extinctions, there have also been many smaller extinctions. One of these mini extinction events happened towards the end of the Pleistocene, a few tens of thousands of years ago. It is sometimes called the "megafaunal" extinction because many of the species it claimed were particularly large animals, weighing more than 97lb (44kg). However, its cause remains a debate amongst scientists. (1)What can we learn about the sixth mass extinction? A. Humans are the main cause of it. B. It means a global decline over a long time. C. It occurred towards the end of the Pleistocene. D. Scientists still disagree about the cause of it. (2)What can be inferred from the text about species?

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Google's new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own! What sets this roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone. The Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces," said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved "training it to know what happiness looks like". The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child's hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet. "This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅) has advanced," Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.(1)What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? A.It enables easy Internet access. B.It is equipped with tough glass. C.It can be worn on your clothing. D.It allows of hands-free photography. (2)What does the underlined word "candid" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Awkward. B.Brief. C.Touching. D.Unforgettable. (3)What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? A.The advance in technology. B.The popularity of the Internet. C.The screen for viewing and editing. D.The rise of the smartphone industry. (4)What does the text mainly talk about? A.New gadgets in the age of apps.

完形填空练习 【考点分析】主要考查语法知识、单词拼写能力和逻辑推理能力等,对基础相对薄弱的学生,尤其是英语语法基础相对薄弱的学生有一定的难度。 【复习策略】掌握句子的基本结构 首先,我们必须熟练掌握简单句的基本句型结构: (1)主语+谓语(+宾语+宾补) (2)主语+系动词+表语 其次,我们要充分了解充当各个句子成分的典型词类: (1)充当主语或宾语的典型词类是名词或代词。此外,还有动名词、不定式短语等。 (2)充当谓语的一定是动词。 (3)充当补语或表语的典型词类是形容词。 (4)在名词前作定语的典型词类是形容词或形容词性物主代词。 (5)作状语的典型词类是副词。 再次,我们还要掌握句子的扩展结构:两个或几个简单句之间若不用句号或分号,就必须要用连词,否则,句子的结构就不完整。连词主要有以下四类: (1)用and,but,or,while(而,却),when(就在这个时候)等构成并列句。用if,unless,before,after,until,although,though,as,since,because,so,so that 等构成含状语从句的复合句(这里要注意区分一下复杂句和复合句,复合句是包含在复杂句这个概念里面的,在下文的基础写作部分有提到)。 (3)用who,which,that,when,where,why等构成含定语从句的复合句。(这里要提醒考生的是往往不给任何提示的空就是填连词或关系词的,但也须结合句子

结构来分析。) (4)用that,if/whether(是否),wh-等构成含名词性从句的复合句。 【解题方法】用句子结构分析法巧解语法填空.分析句子的结构对解答语法填空题很有帮助。在解答语法填空题时,分析句子结构可以迅速确定所要填的词语的词类或大致方向,若再结合语境就可以很快得出具体的词语或词形,结合语境方面要特别注意短文的时态和上下文中的一些提示。 【经典例题】阅读下面短文,根据上下文填入适当的词语,或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。 The Internet has become part of young people’s life. ____1____ report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet .

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇(附答案)

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习,值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力,即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来,阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是:(1)掌握所读材料的主旨大意,以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节;(2)既理解具体事实,也理解抽象的概念;(3)既理解字面意思,也理解深层含义,包括作者的态度、意图等;(4)既理解某句、某段的意义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并能根据文章进行推理和判断;(5)既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求,试题中常采用如下几种题型:事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计,答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1.首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理,因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感,特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀,从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的,因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事,也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求,试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词,只要认真分析,仔细阅读,这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2.扫读全文,理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章,首先要快速扫读全文,虽为扫读,但不可漫不经心,阅读时也应聚精会神,力求可能多地获取材料信息,只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理,不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3.对症下药,各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后,再把短文的问题简单看一遍,弄懂题意,然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息,是为某些特定的问题而阅读,因此阅读时要有较强的针对性,对与问题有关的数据,词句等仔细阅读,认真理解,同时结合不同考查内容的题型,采取如下解题对策: (1)事实询问题:这类试题通常是以疑问词what,who,when,where,why,how 等引起的特殊问句,就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义,然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节,正确估计答案来源,同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息,确认各种信息。 (2)推理判断题:此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思,对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手,根据上下文的内在联系,充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系,人物的动机,以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西,不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考,切勿想当然,凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 (3)数据推算题:此题要求我们就文章提供的数据,以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断,然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时,要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析,若数据信息较多,还要注意弄清数据之间的关系,同时分清有用与无用信息,最终作出正确判断。 (4)主旨大意题:此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句,抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意,因此,只要找准每段的主题句,文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。
