10、材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。 日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。
11、而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。比如第21题：细节理解题。从第二自然段Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. 可知，他忘记扎安全带的原因是他想赶快回家跑步，即进行体育锻炼。故选B。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节
12、题。比如第22题：细节理解题。从第五自然段Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are thrown clear. 可知，thrown clear可能造成伤害和死亡。其原因是当发生交通事故一个人如果从车中跳出来，着路时就会十分危险。同时从车中跳出必然要穿过挡风玻璃或车门，就可能造成伤亡。故选C。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短
13、语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。比如第24题：归纳理解题。从整篇文章看，主要告诉人们开车时应系好安全带。故选D。BI was with a group of businessmen, and we were dealing with a question What is a good person?At a
14、certain point during the discussion, one of the students, a young man of about 30 described an event that happened at Christmas. He and his five-year-old son were decorating the Christmas tree, and a little boy came to the front door begging. If you ever visit Mexico, you will see that the people th
15、ere take begging as nothing to get upset about and nothing to get embarrassed by.So, this little boy came to the door, a boy about the same age as my students son. The father and the son went to the front door, and the father went back with his five-year-old son and said to him, “Give him one of you
16、r toys.” At the words, the little boy quickly picked up one toy, and his father said to him, “No, no, give him your favorite toy.”And the little boy, like a little tiger, said, “No way!” He cried; he refused. But the father, like a big tiger in a way, insisted gently, “No, you must give him one of y
17、our favorite toys.”And finally the boy, with his head down, picked up a toy he had just gotten. The father waited in the living room, and the boy walked to the front door with the toy in his hand. The father waited and waited.What do you think happened?After a couple of minutes, his son came running

20、ng a good person” means _.A. being ready to giveB. being friendly to beggarsC. having the courage to correct his/her mistakesD. being able to teach children to tell right from wrong【答案】25.B26.A27.A考点：考查生活感悟类阅读【名师点睛】生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有
21、一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像伊索寓言里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。本文的中心思想是给予和奉献。对考生的讨论能力要求较高，测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握
22、作者观点。1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。比如第27题：推理判断题。本题的主题就是给予，当我们在给予别人的时候也就是在获得快乐。故C正确。故选C。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事
23、，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。比如第26题：推理判断题。儿子把自己最喜欢的玩具给了别人。回来的时候问：能不能再做一次？说明他从这样的给予中得到了比自己的玩具更大的快乐，故选A。 CWe can stay young forever.
