1.B 2.B 3.D 4.C 【解析】这是一篇房屋出售的广告,分别介绍了The Colony, TX;Gladstone, MO;Irmo, SC;Powder Springs, GA的房子的售卖信息,包括价格已经各自的特点优势,每一段为一个独立广告,做题时找准题干所问信息点,读懂信息,有个别题目需要理解和适当的计算,难度不大。 1.细节理解题,根据介绍the Colony, TX的信息,“here’s boating and swimming on the lake, as well as hiking, picnicking and golf in the parklands around it.” 可知这会有很多的娱乐活动,划船、游泳等。接着“the Colony also enjoys a wealth of housing options, from one-bedroom apartments to lakeside mansions(大厦),Cute two-bedroom starter homes are available....”可知the Colony提供很多户型的选择。B选项Entertaining and optional符合题意,故选B。 2.细节理解题,根据介绍Irmo, SC的信息,“The average three-bedroom 1,300-square-foot home costs about $99,000”可计算出每平方英尺价格应该是99000美元除以1300平方英尺,76美元每平方英尺。故选B 3.细节理解题,根据介绍Powder Springs的信息,“Another big draw is McEachern High School, which used to be a college campus. The school is supported by a large endowment , according to city manager Brad Hulsey ”可知Powder Springs的房子的巨大吸引力来源于这里的学校,故选D。 4.主旨大意题,这是一篇房屋售卖广告,根据阅读文章可知,这些房屋的价格相对较高,适合能负担得起房价的较高收入的人群, A选项是学生,明显不合适,B和D选项是收入较低的人群,不符合题意。C选项People who want to buy affordable houses为最佳选项。故选C。 【名师点睛题】 细节理解题旨在考查学生对文章的整体理解,以及对段落句子含义的精确理解。学生需要在全文理解的基础上,把握局部信息的描述,只有理解句子的表面含义以及作者想传达的言外之意才能正确做题。这种题型一般分为两种类型,1.第一种是直接准确定位题干所问信息的段落或者句子,直接理解信息句,并且和题干所给选项进行含义匹配,这种类型的题较为简单,关键在于找准信息点。2.第二章考查难度较第一种稍大,在正确定位信息句之后,需要对句子理解,并且能理解出句子的衍生含义,也就是理解句子的“弦外之音”。有时候需要适当的推理甚至是简单的数字计算。 比如本题的第2小题If you want to buy a house, you have to spend about $76.00 for every square foot in ?题干要求找到房屋价格为76美元每平方英尺的房屋。初看题干,关键部分是$76.00 for every square foot,信息定位应该是关键主意房屋价格的信息,所以可以迅速定位到每个小广告中的价格描述,粗看信息,并没有 every square foot的价格信息,所以在这里需要进行进一步的理解句子信息,并且做简单运算。先找到信息句“The average three-bedroom 1,300-square-foot home costs about $99,000”,1300平方英尺的房屋面积售价为99000美元,所以用简单的除法可以得出每平方英尺的售价为76美元,故可顺利选出正确答案。

Leave a nicknames behind. Sometimes, life gives us a chance to start fresh3.If you’re moving from elementary school to middle school, let your friends know that don’t want to go by your old nickname.

Ignore those who call you by a nickname. If the kids calling you by a bad nickname aren’t your friends, you should do your best to ignore them.4.It may be hard to pretend that it doesn’t hurt, but if you get angry or obviously upset, it will just encourage them to use the nickname all the time.

5.Remember that if you have a bad nickname now, you probably won’t be stuck with it. Just look at Elvis Presley! When he first started singing on stage, he wiggled(摆动)his hips so much that cruel critics and the audience nicknamed him Elvis The Pelvis. He never stopped wiggling. People soon found it impossible to ignore his talent and began to call him The King of Rock & Roll.

A. If it does bother you, tell them.

B. Believe that things will change.

C. If the kids refuse to stop, talk to your teacher.

D. It feels good when these nicknames are repeated.

E. Although words can be hurtful, they can’t change who you really are.
