I burst into tears.”可知在Marino準(zhǔn)備自殺的時(shí)候,一只小貓從灌木叢走出來(lái)蹭他的腿,讓他撫摸自己。這讓他又活了過(guò)來(lái)并哭了。由此可以推斷小貓的出現(xiàn)給了他生活的希望,他因此而哭泣。故選B。 (3)考查主旨大意。本文講述了小貓的出現(xiàn)給了想要自殺的退伍軍人Marino生活的希望,拯救了Marino, C項(xiàng)(士兵與小貓之間的救贖)最能體現(xiàn)本文大意,故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇故事類(lèi)閱讀,要求考生根據(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 I waited half an hour, set the board, and sat in the studio, reviewing my questions until the telephone lines flashed. Hello? This is Connie Chung. I39。m so sorry I39。m late. Connie Chung was one of the only four women anchors(主播)to make it into the club of major evening network television news. For almost an hour we talked about the industry. When I asked if she ever had an instructor throughout her trials, she turned around and offered to instruct me. When I asked why she decided to do it, she simply replied, Because you39。re good. That afternoon I rushed home and told my mother what had happened. Without looking up, she just said Good for you. Hearing this, I felt a sense of loss. Her consistent response always made me feel underappreciated. Until then I had been searching for something that I would never get—that sense of love and acceptance in a house full of negativity(消極). I knew I needed to get rid of all the negativity in my life first, so I packed my bags and walked out of the house, thinking a risk would allow me to open myself to the world again and receive all the positive energy that I needed. Then radio became my way of connecting with others. My ability to book highlevel guests and celebrities(名人)was gradually recognized and eventually all the words of encouragement from past guests and colleagues helped me to rebuild my confidence levels. I can do this, I kept telling myself, and pushed even harder to find my next aim. People had faith in me, so I developed faith in myself. Their positive attitudes towards themselves and towards me helped me develop my own positive attitude, leading to productive interactions with celebrities and adding to my list of instructors. I may not have started life surrounded by positivity but I surely feel that I am surrounded by it now. It39。s amazing how positivity builds on itself.(1)What was the author probably doing at the beginning of the text?

A.She felt excited.B.She didn39。t believe it.C.She was very grateful.D.She didn39。t take it seriously.(3)Why did the author leave home? A.To broaden his view.B.To escape punishment.C.To keep away from negativity.D.To set up a home of his own.(4)What can be the best title for the text? A.The Strength of PositivityB.My Goal in CareerC.My Ability in ManagementD.The Friendship Between Anchors【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)C(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,講述了作者在主持節(jié)目過(guò)程中遇到的一些朋友和導(dǎo)師,他們積極樂(lè)觀的態(tài)度以及對(duì)作者的信任,給作者帶來(lái)了力量,從而使作者也變得更加積極主動(dòng),同時(shí)也取得了成功。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)前四段中出現(xiàn)的reviewing my questions以及I asked if she ever had an instructor等可推知,作者是在為主持一個(gè)訪談節(jié)目做準(zhǔn)備,在這個(gè)節(jié)目中他將問(wèn)Connie Chung一些問(wèn)題。故選A。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的Without looking up, she just said 39。Good for you.39??芍?,當(dāng)被告知Connie的決定時(shí),作者的媽媽對(duì)作者將接受Connie Chung指導(dǎo)的事情沒(méi)有當(dāng)回事。故選D。 (3)考查細(xì)
