imates.The reason for the carryon jump is no mystery: All the major domestic airlinesnow charge to check (托 運) even one bag, generally $25. To save money and time at the baggage claim, passengers carry as much as they can on board, with predictable consequences.At security checkpoints, these millions of extra bags, many of them denselypacked, mean longer lines. Once past security, the fun continues at boarding. On a typical flight, there’s a fierce fight for scarce overhead bin space, extending the boarding process. Bags that are stuffed under seats make passengers even more unfortable.There has got to be a better way. In fact, there is. Here’s what a more sensible system would look like:No fee for the first piece of checked luggage. It would be better if airlines simply raised fares( 機票) instead of fees. Limit the carryon size and charge for large carryons. Use templates( 標(biāo)尺) at the security checkpoints to cut off the monster bags that now often escape airline staff’s notice until they’re right at the door of the plane. Tax the airlines’ ine from fees the same way that fares are taxed. Currently, the fees are tax free, encouraging airlines to generate ine through fees rather than fare increases.We’re sympathetic to the airline industry’s need to make money, but the baggagefees—previously intended to offset rising fuel costs—have bee an interruption that slows down the security check, offloads costs onto fliers and makes the boarding process even more unpleasant than it already is.1. What makes the air travelers most frustrated at the airport? A. The limited overhead bin space for bags.B. The number of bags they carry onboardC. The long line at the baggage claim.D. The extra fee they have to pay for carryons.解析:B。短文細(xì)節(jié)題有個很明顯的特點就是問題答案能在文章中直接找出。這道題考查的也是考生對文章主旨的把握。oror它們所引導(dǎo)的句子往往會標(biāo)明作者的意圖和觀點,需要著重分析理解。一般來說主旨大意題的考點都會很明顯在出現(xiàn)在文章之中,通常的位子會是首段的首句或者尾句,更或者主題就存在與文章末尾段。閱讀文章中,作者在給出某個觀點后,有時會在觀點之后加上某些研究表明(常出現(xiàn)research、survey、study等詞匯),那么同樣,除非閱讀文章后的題目中有所提及,否則這些research、survey、study等所陳述的具體內(nèi)容通常也可忽略不讀。讀文章時特別要注意首段的首尾兩句話,大多數(shù)情況下,這兩句話回事全文的主旨,會表明整篇文章所表達(dá)意思的基調(diào)和方向。圈出關(guān)鍵詞非常重要,這樣有助于考生能迅速的找到題目所問的相關(guān)內(nèi)容,使學(xué)生了解文章結(jié)構(gòu),讓他們明白哪些是重點,哪些是次要點??忌鶕?jù)對篇章的理解,從每題的四個選項中選擇最佳答案。閱 讀 理 解在浙江省專升本考試中,閱讀理解(Reading Comprehension)所占比例最大,總分值60分,占試卷總分的五分之二。篇章閱讀的材料均選自英文原版材料,包括報刊、雜志、書籍、學(xué)術(shù)期刊等。通過審題,考生可以對題目大致有個了解,這樣便能在閱讀文章的過程中,讀到相關(guān)內(nèi)容時提高注意力,能更加著力分析其所含意義,有利于加深印象。 (2) 注意轉(zhuǎn)折性連接詞。因為通常情況下,這些都只是作者在表明他的觀點后面,為了進(jìn)一步論證這一觀點,使文章更具有說服力,使他的觀點更加鮮明。在讀文章的時候,特別要注意首尾兩端有轉(zhuǎn)折性的引導(dǎo)詞,引導(dǎo)詞后面的語句大多數(shù)會是作者想表達(dá)的觀點,切忌注意。(3)特殊標(biāo)點符號。wishful thinking.
