【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 y phrase you need. You can39。t avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics(記憶群). The first few words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then you discover quickly, though too late, that a dozen words later, it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it.（1）From the first paragraph, we can infer that ______. A.there is no need to know all the words of a foreign languageB.it is honest to answer no to a question you don39。t knowC.a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongueD.people find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language（2）To learn a foreign language, the author advises you ______. remember new words appearing every day keep up with new ways of using old words learn at least 2,000 necessary words pay more attention to your bad memory（3）The author39。s attitude to mnemonics is________. （4）The passage is mainly about ______. old words in a new way new words from the context a method to memorize vocabulary vocabulary of a foreign language【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，很多學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)的人都有一個(gè)困惑是否要記憶足夠多的單詞，作者的回答是不，文章告訴人們應(yīng)該掌握多少個(gè)基本單詞，且不能為了學(xué)習(xí)這些必要的單詞而逃避一些工作，以及依靠任何基于助記法的方法都是不明智的。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“To be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue？The answer is‘No’．“說(shuō)實(shí)話，你知道你母語(yǔ)的所有單詞嗎?答案是:不?？芍?，一個(gè)人既然連自己的母語(yǔ)的詞匯都不可能全部認(rèn)識(shí)，那么在學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)時(shí)，也就沒(méi)有必要記住所有的詞匯。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“You need to learn only 2，000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need.”你只需要學(xué)習(xí)2000個(gè)左右的基本單詞就能創(chuàng)造出任何你需要的短語(yǔ)?？芍獮榱藢W(xué)習(xí)一門(mén)外語(yǔ)，作者建議你至少學(xué)習(xí)2000個(gè)必要的單詞。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics.”依靠任何基于記憶術(shù)的方法都是不明智的。可知作者對(duì)記憶術(shù)的態(tài)度是反對(duì)的。故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“When it es to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary.”當(dāng)談到學(xué)習(xí)一門(mén)外語(yǔ)時(shí)，許多人想知道他們是否能記住足夠的詞匯。以及文章主要內(nèi)容圍繞學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)時(shí)的詞匯量問(wèn)題，所以短文主要是關(guān)于學(xué)習(xí)一門(mén)外語(yǔ)的詞匯量。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall？Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists？In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway？In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand？ Let39。s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy， while sweetbreads, which aren39。t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes(悖論), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don39。t fing, grocers don39。t groce, and hammers don39。t ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn39。t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？ English was invented by people, not puters, and it shows the creativity of human beings. That39。s why, when stars are out, they are visible。 but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it。 but when I wind up this essay, I end it.（1）Which of the following words or expressions have the similar meaning? and oversee. a lot and quite a few. as hell and cold as hell. wise man and a wise guy.（2）What does the author probably think of English people? ....（3）What can we learn from the text? rings should be round. should be eggs in an eggplant. are the apples on the pine tree. and sweetbreads are different things.（4）How does the author organize the text? the order of time. the order of place. giving a great number of examples. paring English with the other languages.（5）What39。s the tone(語(yǔ)氣)of the text? and proud. and unsure. and disappointed. and lighthearted.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C（5）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，論述了為什么英語(yǔ)是一門(mén)瘋狂的語(yǔ)言。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?”overlook和oversee怎么會(huì)是反義詞，而quite a lot和quite a few卻是很相似的呢？可知，quite a lot和quite a few有相似的意思。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“English was invented by people, not puters, and it reflects the creativity of human beings.”英語(yǔ)是由人而不是計(jì)算機(jī)發(fā)明的，它反映了人類的創(chuàng)造力，以及列舉了英語(yǔ)中的許多悖論可推知，作者想表明英國(guó)人是很聰明的。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren39。t sweet, are meat.”蜜餞是糖果，雜碎是肉，但不甜，可知，蜜餞和雜碎是不同的東西。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall？Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists？”為什么黑夜降臨，卻沒(méi)有黎明；為什么白天破曉，卻沒(méi)有黃昏？為什么騎摩托車(chē)的人叫騎手，騎自行車(chē)的人叫騎自行車(chē)的人?以及下文可知，作者主要是通過(guò)大量的例子來(lái)論證英語(yǔ)是一門(mén)多么瘋狂的語(yǔ)言的。故選C。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.”英語(yǔ)是一門(mén)瘋狂的語(yǔ)言。茄子里沒(méi)有雞蛋，菠蘿里也沒(méi)有松樹(shù)和蘋(píng)果，漢堡包里也沒(méi)有火腿，及下文所舉的多個(gè)詞可知，這些詞的意思并不是詞的表面意思。由此可以判斷出，作者以既幽默又輕松的語(yǔ)氣在論述英語(yǔ)是一門(mén)瘋狂的語(yǔ)言。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 For all the technological wonders of modem medicine, health carewith its fax machines and clipboards(寫(xiě)字板)—is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificialintelligence ( AI) revolution. Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks AI will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors39。 words into patient records.
