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的字詞，理解不了文學作品，所以她的導師建議她看一些用目標語言寫的兒童書。故選A。 （2）考查細節(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.”可知作者認為如果先不急著用字典，你會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。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，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。8．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis39。s Swamp (沼澤地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack39。s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. So, Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. How did this place get its name? Are you sure you want to hear it? It39。s a scary story, warned Jack. Of course! cried out Tom. If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn39。t have chosen this place! Ok, but don39。t say I didn39。t warn you, said Jack, and he began this tale. Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. 39。You are clearing too much land,39。 warned one old man. 39。The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. 39。 39。Silly fool,39。 said Dennis to himself. 39。If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I39。ll bee wealthier. He39。s just jealous!39。 Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants. What happened? Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. The land hit back—just as the old man warned, Jack shrugged. Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found. What a stupid story, laughed Tom. Plants can39。t … Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (暈倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom39。s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.（1）The underlined word dare in Paragraph 1 is closed in meaning to ________.
