【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 據(jù)第四段中的What urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to likeminded folks who might enrich their own lives. 可知,人們像陌生人提供沙發(fā)沖浪服務(wù)是為了充實自己的生活,故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知,本文主要講述了作者從初步了解到親身體驗沙發(fā)沖浪這種旅游模式——在旅游時,由一個陌生的當(dāng)?shù)厝颂峁┟赓M吃住并擔(dān)當(dāng)導(dǎo)游,基于相互信任共同趣味建立起來的一種旅游模式,再到得出感悟的全過程。全文圍繞兩個關(guān)鍵詞couch(指在陌生當(dāng)?shù)丶彝セ谛湃喂餐钜粌商?和 travel 展開,故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. We are used to passive learning, and it39。s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday munication with friends and coworkers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor. Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn39。t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are pared. Typically, the original message has changed. That39。s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen to improve on it, stamping(打上標(biāo)記) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know. This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another。 and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.（1）According to the passage, what situation may passive learning occur in?

That39。s a question many parents are asking in the wake of the college cheating scandal(丑聞)involving 38 wealthy parents around the country, including actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman. Here39。s how far I went. In the fall of 2017 my husband and I lost our jobs. We had to tell our daughter, Casey, that we couldn39。t afford to send her back to school for her junior year at Fordham University. We decided the best choice for our family would be for Casey to sit out a year. We promised that we would get her back the following year. Casey decided to spend the year volunteering in South Africa On Sept 30, 2017, we put our oldest child on a plane halfway around the world. Casey worked as a tutor teaching kids math, English and music in Johannesburg. We did get Casey back in school in time. When she returned to the campus, she studied harder. She isn39。t what she used to be. Each day is marked by gratitude because she knows what it is like not to be able to get an education. I wonder why the college cheating scandal happened and I think it boils down to this: Parents want to create a fort zone for their kids. Of course, we want the best for our kids but sometimes we forget that real growth doesn39。t happen in times of fort。 those valuable lessons e when we are forced to think in ways we otherwise wouldn39。t have. While I did less for my child than these wealthy parents did in terms of means, in other ways I did more. I taught her that disappointment is a part of life and we should face it bravely rather than avoid it. My husband and I showed Casey that her strength is in her struggle. That39。s how far I went for my kid s education. And I dare say she is wiser and better o
