【正文】 he boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.”小號手兼樂隊指揮King Joe Oliver也這么做了，他把小男孩放在自己的側(cè)廳，教他如何閱讀音樂，學(xué)習(xí)演奏技巧。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“ Lil Hardin, the bands piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explains that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpetchair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.”可推斷出Louis Armstrong離開King Oliver樂隊的原因是因為他的才能不能得到完全發(fā)展，故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。全文介紹Armstrong如何成為偉大的爵士音樂家，故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，代詞指代，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇人物類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(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。7．閱讀理解 Every year in America, highschool students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one39。s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading prehension. But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot. That39。s an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young people39。s handwriting lately? Or anyone39。s for that matter, in this age of puter keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. Yet today39。s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的字跡) of young people who39。ve been typing on puters since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one39。s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And don39。t forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as puters go down when power goes out. Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your hand writing. Position the pen. You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb, then rest it near the first knuckle (指節(jié)) of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed. Evaluate your writing. Make changes to your letters till you like how they look. Take your time. Speed is bound to make your writing messylooking. Practice. Practice it a lot。 it39。s not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.（1）The underlined word “scribble” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A.write quickly and roughlyB.type simply and correctlyC.paint clearly and neatlyD.describe properly and well（2）According to Paragraph 3, students with good handwriting skill ________.A.can pass the SATB.can develop good charactersC.can impress their classmatesD.can get more job opportunities（3）Which of the following should you avoid when improving your handwriting?A.Practicing writing a lot.B.Writing as fast as you can.C.Relaxing your hand when holding the pen.D.Changing your letters till you like how they look.（4）The text is to present the fact that ________.A.writing seems to be very important in the SATB.those who will go to college have to take the SATC.students should practice handwriting more oftenD.kids don39。t know how to write in the puter age【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】SAT考試增加了書面表達，但當(dāng)前學(xué)生不注重書寫，所以此項改革會督促學(xué)生更多的練字。( 1 )詞義猜測題。結(jié)合劃線部分的上下文，在計算機時代，學(xué)生手寫的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)很罕見，只有一兩個單詞在行李箱或午餐包上，用來辨認(rèn)物主，書法在其他場合就像嘟嘟鳥一樣滅絕了，故推斷學(xué)生在課堂上記筆記非常潦草，故選A。( 2 )細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段提到Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one39。s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential ，漂亮的書法不僅僅能在考試中幫助得分，還可以在今后找工作中給雇主留下美好的印象，故選D。( 3 )細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后三段的標(biāo)題Evaluate your writing；Take your time；Practice. Practice it a lot可知，沒有提到B項，這是寫作中應(yīng)該避免的。故選B。( 4 )推理判斷題。由于SAT考試增加書面表達，但當(dāng)前學(xué)生不重視書寫，所以此項改革會督促學(xué)生更多的練字，故選C。8．閱讀理解 The Women39。s Institute is urging supermarkets to do more to help consumers reduce their home food waste, after a survey of its own membership showed widespread confusion about “best before” and “use by” labeling(標(biāo)簽) on packaging. Its new analysis of products on supermarket shelves found that “onceopened” instructions were often contradictory and often failed to make clear whether they were a guide to food safety or quality. Only 45% of 5,000 WI members surveyed understood that bestbefore dates were a sign of food quality, while 26% did not understand that the more important useby dates were a decisive guide to food safety. In its report on food waste, the WI said supermarkets were “potentially contributing to home food waste by leading customers to buy more food than they need, and giving conflicting and confusing onpack information that leaves customers unsure about how long a product remains safe to eat in the home setting”. The 42page report is part of the WI39。s ongoing campaign to reduce food waste. To underline the point about conflicting information, it cites(引用) a can of Sainsbury39。s ownbrand sweetcorn advising consumers to eat it within one day of opening, while a similar tin from Waitrose gave consumers two days to finish it. Green Giant sweetcorn, however, has no specified date for eating once opened. Marylyn Haines Evans, chair of the Women39。s Institute39。s public affairs said: “WI members are some of the more informed members of society about food and cookery, but they are still confused about foo
