【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】
0. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a fourday during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since”可知,Ronni Abergel,他的兄弟Dany以及一些同事舉行了為期四天的活動(dòng),希望提高人們對(duì)青年人暴力的意識(shí)。在這次活動(dòng)成功之后,Abergel建立了the Human Library Organization,該組織一直在發(fā)展中。由此可知,在Copenhagen舉行的活動(dòng)的成功導(dǎo)致了the Human Library Organization的成立,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可推知,該活動(dòng)奠定了該組織的基礎(chǔ),故答案選C。(3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“It provides the opportunity for the munity to share and understand the experiences of others in their munity”可知,the Human Library給社會(huì)給提供了分享和了解別人經(jīng)歷的機(jī)會(huì)。由此可知,通過(guò)the Human Library, 人們可以加深對(duì)他人的了解。故答案選A。(4)寫作意圖題。文章介紹了the Human Library(真人圖書館)的情況。在the Human Library,讀者可以和來(lái)自各行各業(yè)志愿者們交談,了解他們的經(jīng)歷和故事。文章還介紹了the Human Library的成立的情況。很明顯,作者希望通過(guò)這篇文章讓讀者了解the Human Library,結(jié)合選項(xiàng),告知解釋。故答案選B?!军c(diǎn)評(píng)】推理題的解題方法:(1)抓住特定信息進(jìn)行逆向或正向推理。要善于抓住某一段話中的關(guān)鍵信息,即某些關(guān)鍵詞或短語(yǔ)去分析、推理、判斷,利用逆向思維或正面推理,從而推斷出這句話所隱含的深層含義。(2) 整合全文(段)信息進(jìn)行推斷。有時(shí)需要在弄懂全文意思的基礎(chǔ)上,整合與題目相關(guān)的有用信息,綜合起來(lái)去推理判斷,確定最佳結(jié)論。(3)利用語(yǔ)境的褒貶性進(jìn)行信息推斷。每篇文章的語(yǔ)境都有一定褒貶性,這種褒貶性反映了主人公的特定心理和情緒狀態(tài)及作者的寫作意圖,因此利用好文章的語(yǔ)境褒貶性就能在把握主旨文意的基礎(chǔ)上對(duì)文章進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)確的邏輯判斷。 (4)根據(jù)文章的結(jié)論推斷作者的態(tài)度。 作者態(tài)度、傾向是指作者對(duì)陳述的觀點(diǎn)是贊同、反對(duì)還是猶豫不定,對(duì)記敘或描寫的人、物或事件等是贊頌、同情、冷漠還是厭惡、憎恨。作者的這種思想傾向和感情色彩往往隱含在文章的字里行間,或流露于修飾的詞語(yǔ)之中。 (5)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯得出結(jié)論。邏輯結(jié)論是指嚴(yán)格根據(jù)文章中所陳述的事實(shí)、論點(diǎn)、例證等一系列論據(jù)材料進(jìn)行推理,從而得出合乎邏輯的結(jié)論,而不是根據(jù)自己的經(jīng)驗(yàn)、態(tài)度、觀點(diǎn)或愛(ài)好去理解文章的內(nèi)涵。 (6)結(jié)合已有的知識(shí)進(jìn)行推斷。知識(shí)推斷是根據(jù)文章中所闡述的細(xì)節(jié),運(yùn)用自己掌握的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)進(jìn)行分析、推敲,從而得出符合文章原義的結(jié)論的一種推斷方法。4.閱讀理解 Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered secondclass citizens. As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die. Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O39。s. Then the team switched from reallife objects to Tshirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the Oshirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a twodimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning. I39。ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes outthink and outfeel other animals. They39。re other primates(靈長(zhǎng)目動(dòng)物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(哺乳動(dòng)物的) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social panions. Longterm studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks. Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of food animals bring an ethical (倫理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science? Animal activists are already there, of course, mitted to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?(1)According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of_____________. A.interactionB.analysisC.creationD.abstraction(2)The research into pigs shows that pigs___________. A.learn letters quicklyB.have a good eyesightC.can build up a good relationshipD.can apply knowledge to new situations(3)Paragraph 4 is mainly about________. A.the similarities between mammals and humansB.the necessity of longterm studies on mammalsC.a change in people39。s attitudes towards animalsD.a discovery of how animals express themselves(4)What might be the best title for the passage? A.The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsB.The Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC.Science Reports on Food AnimalsD.A Revolution in Food Animals【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)C(4)A 【解析】【分析】這是一篇議論文。文章論述了我們?cè)瓉?lái)當(dāng)作食物的動(dòng)物實(shí)際上也有情感有思想,它們有一定的分析推理能力。人類不應(yīng)只將它們當(dāng)作食物。(1)推理判斷題。由第二段中的“When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one”可知,當(dāng)解決問(wèn)題時(shí),母雞們會(huì)推理:例如,受過(guò)挑選彩色紐扣的訓(xùn)練的母雞們有時(shí)會(huì)選擇放棄即時(shí)的食物獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),換取稍晚一些(而且更好)的食物獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。由此可知,母雞們具備分析能力。故B選項(xiàng)正確。(2)推理判斷題。由第三段中的“Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O39。s. Then the team switched from reallife objects to Tshirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the Oshirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a twodimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.”可知,一些研究者拿著帶X標(biāo)記的木板,一些研究者拿著帶O標(biāo)記的木板,只有拿帶O標(biāo)記木板的研究者給豬提供食物,豬很快就只理會(huì)這些研究者了。當(dāng)木板換成帶X和O標(biāo)記的襯衫時(shí),豬仍然只走向那些穿帶O標(biāo)記襯衫的研究者。這表明豬將把知識(shí)轉(zhuǎn)移到了二維的形式,這是一種相當(dāng)大的推理壯舉。結(jié)合選項(xiàng),D選項(xiàng)正確。(3)段落大意題。由第四段中的“At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes outthink and outfeel other animals.
