【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 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】本文是一篇說明文，很多學(xué)習(xí)外語的人都有一個(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’．“說實(shí)話，你知道你母語的所有單詞嗎?答案是:不?？芍?，一個(gè)人既然連自己的母語的詞匯都不可能全部認(rèn)識，那么在學(xué)習(xí)外語時(shí)，也就沒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。可知為了學(xué)習(xí)一門外語，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。可知作者對記憶術(shù)的態(tài)度是反對的。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)一門外語時(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)外語時(shí)的詞匯量問題，所以短文主要是關(guān)于學(xué)習(xí)一門外語的詞匯量。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】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 Parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain(獲得), whether rich or poor, according to a 20year study led by Mariah Evans. For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home pared to being raised in a home with a 500book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education. Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesseducated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get. The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father39。s occupation or the economic level of the country. Having books in the home is twice as important as the father39。s education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in a developed country and children born in a developing country was just 2 years, less than twothirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.（1）In the past educators held a point of view that ______ . A.children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of educationB.children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich familiesC.children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of educationD.parents39。 level of education had nothing to do with their children39。s levels of education（2）What does the underlined word motivating in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Making somebody want to do something.B.Helping somebody to finish somethingC.Making somebody pretend to do something.D.Preventing somebody from achieving something.（3）Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will gain? A.The economic level of the country.B.The father39。s occupation.C.Education levels of parents.D.Having books in the home.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，分析了影響孩子教育水平的因素，告訴我們家里有書對孩子的重要性勝于家長受過高等教育的影響。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated”. 多年來，教育工作者一直認(rèn)為，預(yù)示孩子能獲取高教育水平的最強(qiáng)的因素莫過于有受過高等教育的父母”?？芍?，過去教育家們認(rèn)為受過高等教育的父母的孩子將獲得高水平的教育。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。文章第二、三段一直說家中有書對孩子的積極影響。再根據(jù)第三段中的“Even a little bit goes a long way. ...the greater benefit the children get” 即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)書，也能大有幫助......你家的書越多，孩子得到的好處就越大。”可知，書對孩子有很大影響。所以劃線詞的句子“Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education”這句話是說“ 即使家里只有20本書，在激勵(lì)孩子接受更高層次的教育方面仍然有很大的影響”。所以，家中有書可以激勵(lì)孩子獲得更高層次的教育水平。由此可推斷出劃線詞的意思是“使某人想做某事”。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father39。s occupation or the economic level of the country.” 研究者們感到震驚的是，在家里看書對孩子的受教育程度的影響甚至超過了父母的受教育程度、父親的職業(yè)或國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)水平等因素的影響。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和詞義猜測兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類
