Lecture 1第一讲11大敏感设题题眼短文理解篇幅较长，而且问题是在整篇短文读完之后提出，因此考生只有熟悉短文理解常见的设题题眼，才能锁定听音重点，抓住关键信息。

一、短文首尾处短文的开头是重要的设题处，经常考查考生对短文主旨或重要细节的把握。

短文的主题句一般都出现在开头，而且常常是第一道题的答案出处。

短文的结尾往往对整篇文章的内容起一个概括和提示的作用，经常会得出结论或是提出某种建议或希望，同样不可忽视。

【例1】（11-6-26）［A］Its protection is often neglected by children.［B］It cannot be fully restored once damaged.［C］There are many false notions about it.［D］There are various ways to protect it.There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age.26.What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight?27.【解析】主旨题。

短文开头提到There are many commonly held beliefs … that are not proven facts（有很多与眼镜和视力有关的普遍看法都没有事实证明），即人们对眼镜和视力有许多错误的认识，故答案为［C］。

【例2】（08-6-28）［A］To look for creative ideas of awarding employees.［B］To explore strategies for lowering production costs.［C］To seek new approaches to dealing with complaints.［D］To find effective ways to give employees flexibility.I ve been reading a report issued today called When Work Works, produced jointly by 3 organizations. They set out to find and award the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.28.Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the 3 organizations?【解析】细节题。

本题的设题题眼在短文的结尾。

短文结尾处，说话者提到三家organizations 发表了一份名为“When Work Works”的报告，并且提到这三家organizations开始寻找并奖励那些employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility（利用最具创新力和最有效的方法使他们的员工在时间上具有灵活性）。

由此可推知说话者建议所有的老板都去读一下the report是因为该份报告中会涉及到effective ways to give employees flexibility，故答案为［D］。

二、短文中原因、目的处短文理解中的问题所使用的疑问词中，除了what以外，出现最多的就是why，而用what 提问的题也有很多是考查原因的，可见，因果关系处是短文理解的设题重点之一。

因此，当短文中出现because，since，so，lead to，result from/in，contribute to等表示因果关系的词或短语时，需重点关注。

另外，短文中涉及到目的、目标的地方也经常会受到出题人的青睐，这类题目的选项多为动词原形或不定式短语。

【例3】（11-6-30）［A］They don t want to use up all their life savings.［B］They fear they will regret it afterwards.［C］They would like to spend more time with them.［D］They don t want to see their husbands poorly treated.Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings.30.Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes?【解析】细节题。

由选项中的They，spend more time with them，don t want to，see their husbands poorly treated推断，本题可能考查妻子们不让别人照顾、自己照顾丈夫的原因。

短文中提到…in order not to use up their life savings，故答案为［A］。

【例4】（07-6-33）［A］For people to share ideas and show farm products.［B］For officials to educate the farming community.［C］For farmers to exchange their daily necessities.［D］For farmers to celebrate their harvests.The Indiana state fair is one of the largest and oldest state fairs in the United States. It is held every summer. It started in 1852. Its goals were to educate, share ideas and present Indiana s best products.33.What were the main goals of the Indiana state fair when it started?【解析】细节题。

本题的设题题眼在目的处。

文中提到the Indiana state fair开始于1852年，它的目标就是educate, share ideas and present Indiana s best products（教育农民、分享观点以及展示印第安的最好的产品），故答案为［A］。

三、短文中列举或举例处短文中为说明一个问题，常常会使用列举或进行举例，这些地方是设题的重点,因此当听到such as, for example, for instance, the first, the second等一类的词语时，应加以留意。

【例5】(07-6-34)［A］By bringing an animal rarely seen on nearby farms.［B］By bringing a bag of grain in exchange for a ticket.［C］By offering to do volunteer work at the fair.［D］By performing a special skill at the entrance.During the early 1930 s, officials of the fair ruled that the people could attend by paying with something other than money. For example, farmers brought a bag of grain in exchange for a ticket.34.How did some farmers gain entrance to the fair in the early 1930 s?【解析】细节题。

本题的设题题眼在举例处。

该例子中提到，农民可以拿a bag of grain（一袋谷物）来in exchange for（交换）集市的门票，故答案为［B］。

四、短文中并列、转折、条件处表示并列、转折、条件等其他逻辑关系的地方也往往是短文理解的出题重点。

因此，当短文中出现as well as, not only…but also, but, however, if, even if/ even though等表示逻辑关系的连接词的时候，需重点关注。

【例6】(10-6-29)［A］He used too many quotations.［B］He was not gender sensitive.［C］He did not keep on the point.［D］He spent too much time on details.Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “Things were going so well until the end,” Alex said disappointedly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes,” the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they have played in the company s growth. They don t care a t all about political correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as …he in your speech.”29.Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for?【解析】推断题。
