2.细节题。答案在原文第五段surprisingly处，显示了一种转折。在上一段讲了Shay的团队赢分了，在上文eventhough点出尽管他没有一个球是他进的，但他仍然感到很喜悦。在第五段文章说他被伙伴们同意进入了最后一局。可见答案B是正确的，所有人都希望能够帮助他成功。细节题。根据题干将关键词定位到第七段”thesmallestguyontheirteam”，这是个长难句，who引导了一个非限制性定语从句，他本可以成为比赛最后的hero,可but点出了转折，他明白pitcher的意图并且帮助了Shay的成功。可见答案A正确。4•推断题。题干问下面哪一项是和Shay的成功无关的。文章第八段最后说众人喊道:“Shay,runhome”，当他runhome之后，我们看到结果是他成功了，他成为了Hero,可见没有任何人在这个时候阻止了他。可见C选项是与他的成功无关的,为正确选项。5.主旨大意题。文章处处渗透了球队人与人之间的相互尊重，因此A选项包容性最大，B,C,D都是很片面的。阅读理解的解题策略阅读理解***测类阅读理解***测类常见的题干设问形式：Whichofthefollowingisthenearestinmeaningto...?Whatdoestheunderlinedword/sentencemeaninthelastparagraph?Whatdoestheauthorprobablymeanby“...”？Theunderlinedword“...”inthecontext/inPbablymeansGG”TOC\o"1-5"\h\zTheterm“…”canbebestreplacedby“”.Theword“...”probablyrefersto“”.Asusedintheline...,theword“...”refersto“”.Accordingtothepassage,theword“...”isknownas.Theword/phrase“...”isclosestinmeaningto.Bysaying“...”,theauthormeans.Thepassageusestheword“...”toreferto.Thewords“...”inParagraph3probablyrefertopeoplewho.13.1nthelastparagraph“...”probablymeans“”.Accordingtotheauthor,theunderlinedword“...”means“”.Fromthecontext/passage,wecaninferthattheword“...”means“”.Whatdoesthe(underlined)word“...”referto?历年猜测题的出题形式：猜测词义题利用构词法解答此类题目，首先要熟练掌握构词法的基本知识。高考阅读理解中的猜测词义题主要集中在派生和合成两种形式上，对猜测的词义可带入句子进行验证，看是否符合语境，从而推测出答案。通过同义、反义关系猜测词义。在生词所在的上下文中，有时会出现与之同义或反义的词语，这时可根据熟悉的词语的含义推知生词的含义。通过定义、解释和举例猜测词义。在一些文章中，特别是新闻报道及科普类说明文中，生词后面往往用thatis，mean，standfor，namely，referto，inotherwords等或破折号、冒号引出说明性的内容，有时也用同位语、定语从句进行解释说明。还有些文章经常用例子来说明前面较难理解的词，这些例子可帮助考生准确猜测生词。文章举例时，常常会用一些连词，如suchas，like，forexample通过上下文的联系猜测词义。任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整篇文章有联系。因此，考生可以利用上下文提供的情景和线索进行合乎逻辑的综合分析，进而猜测词义。这是阅读过程中的一大关键，也是近年来高考考查的热点。有的生词词义的猜测要求利用自身的生活经验及科学常识进行分析推断。比如了解一些英美国家的天文地理、风俗习惯、宗教信仰、社会制度；了解掌握自然知识、自然现象以及现代科技知识。猜测短语题猜测短语的方法与猜测词义的方法大致相同。有时先注意分析短语的意思，然后结合具体语境去推测短语的含义会更有利于解决问题。猜测句意题做猜测句意题目时，考生除了可借鉴猜测生词和短语的方法之外，还要注意：(1)返回原文，找到该句子，对原句进行语法和词义上的准确分析。正确选项与原句之间往往不需要很多的推理。(2)一般说来，正确选项的意思与原句的意思完全相同，只不过是用其他的英语词汇表达而已。猜测指代题解这类题时，应注意代词指代的总原则——就近指代：代词指代在数(单数或复数)、格(主格或宾格)、逻辑、意义、位置等方面与之接近的名词。就位置而言，代词所指代的名词通常在本句或其上句中。指代的除名词外，还可指的是一（多）件事，形式可以是句子、v.-ing形式的短语、动词不定式等。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。RaeandBruceHostetlernotonlyworkveryhard，theyalsorelaxjustaswell.Numerousvacationshelpthecoupletomaintaintheirhealthandemotionalwellbeingandit'snosurprisetohealthcareprofessionals.“Rest，relaxation，andstressreductionareveryimportantforpeople'swell-beingandhealth.Thiscanbeaccomplishedthroughdailyactivities，suchasexerciseandmeditation，butvacationisanimportantpartofthisaswell，”saidprimarycarephysicianNatashaWithersfromOneMedicalGroupinNewYork.Witherslistsadecreasedriskofheartdiseaseandimprovedreactiontimeassomeofthebenefitsfromtakingsometimeoff.“Wealsoknowthatthemindisverypowerfulandcanhelpwithhealing，soarested，relaxedmindisabletohelpthebodyhealbetter，”saidWithers.Psychologistsconfirmthevalueofvacationsforthemind.“Theimpactthattakingavacationhasonone'smentalhealthisgreat，”saidFrancineLederer，aclinicalpsychologistinLosAngeleswhospecializesinstressandrelationshipmanagement.“Mostpeoplehavebetterlifeperspectiveandaremoremotivatedtoachievetheirgoalsafteravacation，evenifitisa24hourtimeout.”Thetripscouldbegoodfortheirhealth，goodfortheirfamilyandgoodfortheirbusinesses.TheonlinetravelagencyExpediaconductedasurveyaboutvacationtimein2010，andaccordingtotheirdatatheaverageAmericanearned18vacationdays—butonlyused14ofthem.Francetoppedthelist，withtheaverageworkerearning37vacationdaysandusingallbuttwoofthem.Americans'responsesmaynotbesurprisinginaculturewherelonghoursonthejoboftenarevalued，butthat'snotalwaysgoodfortheindividual，thefamilyortheemployer.Psychologistshavealsofoundthatpeoplewhodon'ttakeenoughtimetorelaxmayfindithardertorelaxinthefuture.“Withouttimeandopportunitytodothis，thenerveconnectionsthatproducefeelingsofcalmandpeacefulnessbecomeweaker，makingitactuallymoredifficulttoshiftintoless-stressedstates，”Mulhernsaid.1．Howdidtheauthorintroducethetopicofthetext?A．Bymakingcomparisons.B．Bygivinganexample.C．Byraisingquestions.D．Byprovidingdata.2．AccordingtoNatashaWithers，vacationscan.A．weakenreactionsystemB．cureseriousdiseasesC．reducethelevelofwell-beingD．decreasetheriskofheartdisease3．Expedia'ssurveyshowsthatAmericans.A．dislikefamilygatheringsB．havetheshortestvacationC．enjoyasmanyvacationsastheFrenchD．thinkmuchofspendinglonghoursonthejob4．Whatcanbeinferredfromthelastparagraph?A．Oneshouldneverwaittorelax.B．Workandrestgoagainsteachother.C．Timeandopportunitywaitfornoman.D．Arelaxedminddetermineseverything.5．Whatismainlytalkedaboutinthetext?A．Waystorelaxinone'sfreetime.B．Thebenefitsoftakingtimeoff.C．Differentopinionsonholidays.D．TheHostetlersalwaysonthego.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了休息和度假对人们生活幸福和身体健康的好处。1．解析：推理判断题。根据第一段可知，文章通过RaeHostetler和BruceHostetler夫妇的例子引出了文章的主题，故选B。答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Rest,relaxation,andstressreductionareveryimportantforpeople'swellbeingandhealth.”以及“butvacationisanimportantpartofthisaswell”可知，度假对人们的身体健康很重要。答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句中的“Americans'responsesmaynotbesurprisinginaculturewherelonghoursonthejoboftenarevalued”可知，美国人很认同将大量时间花在工作上的做法。答案：D解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，如果没有时间和机会休息，时间久了会使得产生平静和安静的感情神经变得很弱，从而就更难产生让人放松的感觉了，由此可推知，选A。A项意为“我们要及时休息”。答案：A5•解析：主旨大意题。文章第一段通过RaeHostetler和BruceHostetler夫妇的例子引出了文章的主题，即度假休息有利于人们的身心健康。答案：B阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。IfyouwatchBritishtelevisiononMarch15,youmightbesurprisedtoseecelebrities（名人）wearingfunnyrednosesandjokingaround.Butdon'tworry.They'renotmad.It'sallpartofamoneyraisingeventcalledRedNoseDay.Foundedin1985bytwoBritishcomedians,theaimoftheeventistoraisemoneytofightpovertyandinjusticeintheUKandAfrica.CelebritiesandpublicfiguressupporttheeventbymakingappearancesoncomicTVshows.Forexample,UKPrimeMinisterDavidCamerononceappearedinamusicvideobyOneDirection,whichthebandproducedfortheevent.Britonsdon'tjustraisemoneyforcharitablecausesononedayayear,buttheydoitallyearround.Onewayofdoingsoisbyshoppingincharityshops.Thesesmallshopssellclothes,booksandhouseholdgoodsjustlikeanyothershopexceptthatit'sallsecondhand.Therearenearly10,000charityshopsintheUK.Theirbusinessmodelissimple:Anybodywhohasthingstheydon'twantanymorecandonatethemtoacharityshop,wheretheyarecheckedfordamage,cleanedandpriced.Themoneythatismadebysellingthemisusedforacharitablecause.Theideaofbuyingusedclothesmaysoundunpleasant,butforshopperswhohavelessspendingmoney,ithasbeenawelcomeoption.Now,shoppingatcharityshopsisalsobecomingpopularwithyoungpeoplelookingforalternativefashion.“Youcanfindveryuniqueclothesforaverycheapprice.Itdoesn'tbothermethatotherpeoplemayhavewornthem,IsimplywashthembeforeIwearthem,”saidAnneMarie,a19-year-oldfromtheUS.Sonexttimeyouspotacharityshop,whynotgoinside?Whoknows,youmightfindalovelydressforjustafewpounds.Evenbetter,youcanenjoywearingitintheknowledgethatyourmoneyhelpedagoodcause.WhydidCameronappearinOneDirection'smusicvideo?Toearnaliving.Tosupporttheband.Tohelpraisingmoney.Toentertaintheaudience.2.Wherearethegoodsofcharityshopsfrom?
