Like dance. It shouldn39。t even be a subject.“很簡單:底層愚蠢的女孩才會上這些課。就像跳舞。它甚至不應(yīng)該成為一個學(xué)科??芍?,學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)的男孩認為舞蹈沒有用處。故選A。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的” Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into“舞蹈給了我全身心投入的東西,可知,在作者參加完GCSE的舞蹈課程后,她就一直專注于此。故選B。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的”The education secretary Nicky Morgan has put emphasis on science , technology. engineering and maths (STEM)“可知,Nicky Morgan強調(diào)理工學(xué)科的重要性。故選C。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的”There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers“開設(shè)由專業(yè)教師講授藝術(shù)課程的公立學(xué)校數(shù)量有所減少。可知,藝術(shù)學(xué)科被認為是不重要的,沒有得到重視。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。9.閱讀理解 About sixty years ago, China was known as the Bicycle Kingdom. But the twowheeled way of transportation began to bee less popular, with many bikes soon replaced by their fourwheeled petitors. But recent months have seen a revival(復(fù)興) of the bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bikesharing plans, pioneered by panies like Ofo and Mobike, has brought cycling to a new level. According to the latest data, the first week of this year saw 5, 850,000 active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1,400,000 active users. People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They are popular among many Chinese people. In places where the underground railway doesn39。t extend, it39。s so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike, Hu Hong said. She cycles to her workplace in Shanghai. Bikesharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a userfriendly experience. However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal parking, breaking and stealing. Last month, two nurses in Beijing put locks on two shared bikes. And in December, a man stole a shared bike. Now Chinese service operators are also trying to solve these problems. Setting credit points is one of the ways. Mobike sets a 100point credit score for each user, with points taken because of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike Tental((租金) is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes rather than yuan.(1)From which is the text probably taken? A.A fashion magazine.B.A travel guide.C.A storybook.D.A newspaper.(2)What39。s the close meaning of the underlined word extend in the third paragraph? A.Fill.B.Reach.C.Provide.D.Follow.(3)Why does the writer say: setting credit points is one of the ways in the last paragraph? A.To give an example of how the service operators solve the problems.B.To show the one of the problems that bikeusers meet.C.To offer an example of how bike rental is increased.D.To provide a plan for the government to choose and solve the problems.【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)A 【解析】【分析】本文主要講述了中國從六十年前的自行車王國到被汽車代替以及最近幾個月,自行車在中國各地復(fù)蘇,越來越多的人選擇騎自行車,而不是開車上學(xué)、上班或觀光。Ofo和摩拜等公司率先推出的共享單車計劃,將自行車運動提升到了一個新的水平。 (1)推理判斷題。本文是一篇新聞報道。文章講述的是中國從六十年前的自行車王國到被汽車代替以及最近幾個月,自行車在中國各地開始復(fù)蘇。這是一篇新聞報道,由此推知文章很可能來自一份報紙。故選D。 (2)詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中They are popular among many Chinese people. In places where the underground railway doesn39。t extend, it39。s so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike(它們在許多中國人中很受歡迎。在地鐵不延伸的地方,騎摩拜單車去你想去的地方很容易。)可知,指地鐵夠不到的地方,劃線詞的意思是夠得到。故選B。 (3)推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Now Chinese service operators are also trying to solve these problems. Setting credit points is one of the ways. Mobike sets a 100point credit score for each user, with points taken because of bad behavior.(現(xiàn)在,中國的服務(wù)運營商也在努力解決這些問題。設(shè)置學(xué)分是其中一種方法。摩拜單車為每位用戶設(shè)置了100分的信用評分,這些分數(shù)是由于用戶的不良行為而獲得的。)可知,作者在最后一段說setting credit points is one of the ways是為了舉例說明服務(wù)運營商是如何解決這些問題的。故選A。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。新聞報道類的閱讀文章,先要找到文章的主旨句,主旨句一般在開頭或轉(zhuǎn)折詞后等。再分清段落結(jié)構(gòu)和把握每段段意。對文章有個全面的理解。10.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。 In China, chain restaurants especially the big multinational ones are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, I39。m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee, but also, I39。m cosmopolitan (見多識廣的) enough to be part of globalization. Where I e from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet (美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year39。s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can39。t stand hearing, I39。m hungry! any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald39。s), a chain is where you are taken on your first date. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the let39。s just be friends phone call the next day. In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a eback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says let39。s meet for a coffee at Monmouth (an independent caf233。) is much cooler than one who says let39。s go to Starbucks. Even if Monmouth39。s coffee is a little more expensive, there39。s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren39。t going straight to the big corporations. Of course, there are chain s
