【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children39。s books printed in the target language. At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, lout then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would remend is to read a chapter of your chosen children39。s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children39。s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.（1）Why was the author advised to read children39。s books?

That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children39。s books printed in the target language.”可知作者只能理解單個(gè)的字詞，理解不了文學(xué)作品，所以她的導(dǎo)師建議她看一些用目標(biāo)語(yǔ)言寫(xiě)的兒童書(shū)。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures”可知兒童在看兒童書(shū)時(shí)可以熟知其中的詞匯和寫(xiě)作結(jié)構(gòu)，故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story.”可知作者認(rèn)為如果先不急著用字典，你會(huì)為你從語(yǔ)境里得到的東西而驚訝。字典是用于查詞的，這里作者想表達(dá)的就是先不用字典，從語(yǔ)境可以猜出詞義，選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。全文作者講述了她讀兒童書(shū)的經(jīng)歷以及讀兒童書(shū)的好處，故選A。 【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，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 When my father married my mother in 1943 he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it. When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story obtained a 1937 crown for me and I have always kept it in my wallet and I have always had enough for my needs. A friend recently fell on hard times partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food and tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless. I then thought about how the crown, a reminder of another39。s care and love, had protected me so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn39。t have a wallet so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better. I feel rich and thank you for being a good friend she said and we were both a bit teary. The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part but to show the power of random acts of kindness. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used and thought I39。ll give that to my friend. I opened it and inside found $100. The universe is very just and if your heart is open the reward always es.（1）What did the 1937 crown coin from the author39。s father mean to her mother?
