（2）细节理解题。根据TheJoeRoganExperience中TheJoeRoganExperienceisagreatlearningdevicebecauseofitsinterestingEnglishconversationsbetweenRoganandhisguests.（乔•罗根体验是一个很好的学习工具，因为罗根和他的客人之间有有趣的英语对话。）可知，乔罗根体验是一个伟大的学习工具是因为它有趣的英语对话。故选D。

（3）细节理解题。根据OverheardatNationalGeographic中Overheard

is

about

the

discussions

Nat

Geo

employees

have

had

while

taking

breaks.（《窃听》讲述的是Nat-Geo员工在休息时的讨论。）可知，从播客《国家地理的窃听》中可以了解到关于休息的讨论。故选B。

这是一篇应用文。文章主要向理解以英语为母语的人在日常生活中所说的话方面没有困难的人介绍了全新的精彩播客系列。

阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

4~7.【答案】D、B、C、C【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据文章第二段I

don't

want

to

check

every

airline

for

the

cheapest

flights

or

research

local

taxi

fares

to

avoid

being

cheated

at

the

airport.My

time，like

yours，is

valuable.Honestly，I

just

want

somebody

else

to

do

the

boring

things

for

me.This

is

where

the

good

old

package

holiday

comes

in.Reliable

and

extremely

easy

to

book，a

package

holiday

takes

care

of

all

the

details

for

you.（我不想为了避免在机场被骗而去查每一家航空公司最便宜的航班或者研究当地的出租车价格。我的时间，像你的一样，是宝贵的。老实说，我只是想让别人替我做那些无聊的事情。这就是传统的一揽子假期的用武之地。可靠而且非常容易预订，一揽子假期为你照顾所有的细节。）可知作者更喜欢让别人安排她的旅行。故选D。

（2）推理判断题。根据文章第三段Even

better，a

package

holiday

comes

with

support.Sunvil，for

example，has

60

enthusiastic

travel

experts

representatives

around

the

world.All

are

ready

to

offer

proper，in-the-know（消息灵通的）

advice

on

everything

from

the

best

restaurants

to

the

must-visit

spots.（更好的是，一揽子假期还附带支持。例如，Sunvil的伦敦办事处有60名热情的旅游专家，以及世界各地的众多代表。从最好的餐馆到必去景点，所有人都准备好提供适当的、知情的建议。）可知Sunvil的工作人员给出合适的建议。A.It

has

checked

all

the

offered

hotels.它已经检查了所有提供的酒店；B.Its

staff

give

suitable

suggestions.其工作人员给出合适的建议；C.It

tends

to

recommend

short

trips.它倾向于推荐短途旅行；D.It

has

60

travel

agencies

in

London.它在伦敦有60家旅行社。故选B。

（3）细节理解题。根据文章最后一段I

love

lead

me

to

the

freshest

fish

and

sunniest

beach.（我喜欢专业的知识，它能带我找到最新鲜的鱼和最阳光的海滩。）可知作者喜欢品尝最新鲜的鱼。故选C。

（4）主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段And

so，when

I

returned

from

my

holiday，I

told

my

friends

that

I

had

become

a

fan

of

package

holidays.I

love

the

peace

of

mind

that

comes

with

knowing

there

is

a

support

system

in

place.I

love

the

expert

knowledge

that

can

lead

me

to

the

freshest

fish

and

sunniest

beach.And

above

all，I

don't

have

to

do

any

of

the

boring

things.This

is

truly

the

way

to

travel.（所以，当我度假回来时，我告诉我的朋友，我已经成了包价旅游的粉丝。我喜欢因为知道有一个支持系统而带来的内心平静。我喜欢专业的知识，它能带我找到最新鲜的鱼和最阳光的海滩。最重要的是，我不用做任何无聊的事情。这才是真正的旅行方式。）可知本文主要讲述了为什么我要去包价旅游。A.How

to

choose

a

travel

route.如何选择旅游路线；B.What

a

package

holiday

lacks.包价旅游缺少什么；C.Why

I

go

for

a

package

holiday.为什么我要去包价旅游；D.When

to

take

a

package

holiday.什么时候去度假。故选C。

本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了为什么作者要去包价旅游。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

8~11.【答案】A、D、C、D【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第二段While

well-known

figures

like

Pablo

Picasso

and

Albert

Einstein

did

their

most

significant

work

in

their

youth，famous

American

poet

Robert

Frost

and

English-born

natural

scientist

Charles

Darwin

were

known

as

"late

bloomers"-

people

whose

talents

were

not

noticeable

until

later

in

life.（毕加索和爱因斯坦等著名人物在年轻时就完成了他们最重要的工作，而美国著名诗人罗伯特•弗罗斯特和英国出生的自然科学家查尔斯•达尔文则被称为"大器晚成者"--他们的才华直到晚年才被发现）可推知，美国著名诗人罗伯特•弗罗斯特在第二段中被提到是为了表明有些人在晚年展示了他们的天赋。故选A项。

（2）推理判断题。根据第五段To

reach

this

conclusion，researchers

took

the

31

previous

winners

of

the

Nobel

Prize

in

economics

and

arranged

them

according

to

when

they

did

their

most

significant

work，to

identify

their

creative

peaks.（为了得出这一结论，研究人员选取了31位前诺贝尔经济学奖得主，并根据他们最重要工作的时间对他们进行了排列，以确定他们的创造力高峰）可推知，研究人员是采用逻辑推理的方法得出这个结论的：有两种有创造力的人。故选D项。
