【正文】 t 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)語言寫的兒童書。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時(shí)可以熟知其中的詞匯和寫作結(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的經(jīng)歷以及讀兒童書的好處，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。8．閱讀理解 The boy sat on his chair, with his hand above the keyboard.
