Question

Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary.It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible.She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasure—a beautiful silk scarf.

Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves.They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship.Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning.

Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years.One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck.Kathy was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don't worry, Grandma, nothing's going to happen to your scarf.You'll see.It is going to bring both of us luck today.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.

That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she had got the job.So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant.As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her.Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her.

“I'm sorry, do I know you？” Eliza asked.

“I'm sorry, dear, but you make me think of someone I once knew，” the old woman replied.“My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck.”Eliza_listened_carefully,_with_her_eyes_and_mouth_wide_open．She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf.Could this be Monica, her grandmother's childhood friend?

Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman.

“My name's Monica, dear.I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old.I've been living here in California ever since.” said the old woman.

点睛：对于阅读理解题，首先要粗读文章了解大意，其次通过细读，理解全文。在粗读的基础上，仔细阅读题后所给的题目，根据题目要求，再有重点地返回来仔细阅读。在阅读理解的题目中，所设问题主要有以下几种方式：找主题或概括文章的中心思想、就文中的具体事实和情节进行提问、根据文章的表层意思进行深层次的推理判断等，在细读时，要根据设问的方式，进行有侧重地阅读。1、概括文章中心思想。1)文首呈现主题句。2)文尾出现主题句。3)首尾呼应展现主题。4)文中表述主题。前面提出问题，文中的主题由随之陈述的细节或合乎逻辑的引申在文中导出，而后再做进一步的解释。5)文章没有主题句。在这种情况下，考生要把所有的细节综合起来。进行逻辑推理，概括归纳出文章的主题句。2.掌握文章的具体事实和重要情节。在考题中，经常会见到就文章中某一具体事实和重要情节进行测试的题目。例如，第1题，题意：凯茜和她的家人离开他们的国家因为________。考查细节理解题。根据.It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible.，可知是第二次世界大战迫使他们离开，故选B。这就要求考生在阅读时要注意辨认和记忆具体事实，重要情节，事物的起因、过程、结果及发生的地点、时间等，这些都有可能作为测试点。还有一些测试题，要求考生在理解的基础上，通过自己的思维将理解的内容系统化，比如计算、排序等题型。例如小题3，题意：我们知道第二次世界大战发生在1937，所以莫尼卡在2017岁多大？考查数字理解题。根据but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old.，可知她是14岁离开家，那么2017—1937+14=94（岁），故选C。
