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。

4~7.【答案】A、D、A、B【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段中KatherineCommalehaslongknownwhatitisliketogreetadmiringcrowdsofkids，tohavestrangersbegforhersignature，andtobefeaturedinbooksandonTVshows.AndyetmostofherfellowAmericanshaveneverheardofthegirl，whohashelpedtosavemillionsoflivesinAfricanvillagesfrommalaria.（凯瑟琳•科马尔很早就知道这是什么感觉，迎接崇拜她的孩子群，陌生人乞求她的签名，并出现在书籍和电视节目。然而，她的大多数美国同胞从未听说过这个已经帮助非洲村庄数百万人免于疟疾的女孩）可知，Katherine在美国以外的地方被广泛认可。故选A。

（2）推理判断题。根据第三段Initially，Katherinetriedraisingmoneybysellingsomeolditems，butfailed.Soon，sheandheryoungerbrotherJosephdecidedtousesmalldollstorepresentAfricanfamilieswithJosephdressedasalargemosquito，toexplaintootherchildrenhowasimpleandcheapmosquitonetcouldprotectasleepingchild.ThentheywenttoKatherine'sSundayschoolandotherschools.Theideatookoff.Whenthatfirsteffortended，Katherineandherfamilydonated﹩

1，500totheUnitedNationsFoundationtopurchasemosquitonets.（起初，凯瑟琳试图通过出售一些旧物品来筹集资金，但是失败了。不久，她和弟弟约瑟夫决定用小娃娃代表非洲家庭，约瑟夫打扮成一只大蚊子，向其他孩子解释一个简单而便宜的蚊帐如何能保护睡着的孩子。然后他们去了凯瑟琳的主日学校和其他学校。这个想法成功了。第一次努力结束后，凯瑟琳和她的家人向联合国基金会捐赠了1500美元，用于购买蚊帐）可知，Katherine通过表演来筹集她的第一笔钱，故选D。

（3）观点态度题。根据第一段中AndyetmostofherfellowAmericanshaveneverheardofthegirl，whohashelpedtosavemillionsoflivesinAfricanvillagesfrommalaria.（她的大多数美国同胞从未听说过这个已经帮助非洲村庄数百万人免于疟疾的女孩）"可知，Katherine关心他人，根据最后一段中""It'sjustanactofkindness."（"这只是一种善意的行为。"）可知，她对自己所做的好事轻描淡写，认为这只是一种善意，所以她很谦虚。A．Caring

and

modest.体贴又谦虚的；B．Ambitious

and

cautious.野心勃勃又小心翼翼的；C．Optimistic

and

sympathetic.乐观有同情心的；D．Considerate

and

faithful.体贴又忠实的。故选A。

（4）主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中AndyetmostofherfellowAmericanshaveneverheardofthegirl，whohashelpedtosavemillionsoflivesinAfricanvillagesfrommalaria.（她的大多数美国同胞从未听说过这个已经帮助非洲村庄数百万人免于疟疾的女孩。）和最后一段中Katherine'seffortscaughttheattentionofmanyinternationalcelebrities，suchasDavidBeckhamandBillGates.Whenshewassix，sheattendedthefirstMalariaAwarenessDayobservance（纪念仪式）attheWhiteHouse，andlateraClintonGlobalInitiativeeventwhereshemetformerU.S.PresidentBillClinton.AlthoughKatherine'spacesloweddownassheenteredmiddleschool，herfamewasrisingaroundtheworld.（凯瑟琳的努力引起了许多国际名人的注意，如大卫•贝克汉姆和比尔•盖茨。六岁时，她参加了在白宫举行的第一次防治疟疾日纪念活动，后来又参加了克林顿全球倡议活动，在那里她会见了美国前总统比尔•克林顿。因为凯瑟琳上中学了，所以她的的步伐放缓了，但是她的名声正在世界各地上升）可知，文章主要讲述了Katherine帮助非洲村庄数百万人免于疟疾，她的善良赢得了人们的尊敬。B项"Katherine的善良赢得了人们的尊敬。"适合做文章标题，故选B。

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Katherine帮助非洲村庄数百万人免于疟疾，她的善良赢得了人们的尊敬。

more

they

favoured

the

specific

colour.（研究人员调查了不同人如何感知颜色的科学。他们注意到，喜欢运动队的受试者发现他们更偏爱最喜欢的队伍的颜色。他们越重视自己的团队，就越喜欢特定的颜色。）可知，研究人员调查了不同人如何感知颜色的科学，这是研究内容，划线单词所在句子""It

tells

us

that

our

the

world

are

constantly

influencing

the

way

view

colour，"

Schloss

says.（"它告诉我们，我们与世界的经历不断影响着我们看待颜色的方式，"施洛斯说。）"是在陈述研究结果，由此可推知，"It"代指上文提到的研究内容，即人们对颜色的偏好。A．People's

preference

for

（2）推理判断题。根据第三段中From

previous

surveys

the

the

earliest-recorded

studies

from

the

show

that

blue

is

universally

loved，due

at

least

in

part

to

our

fondness

for

blues

in

nature.

（从以前的调查中，研究人员发现蓝色一直是最受欢迎的颜色。即使是19世纪最早的有记录的颜色研究也表明，人们普遍喜爱蓝色，至少部分原因是我们在自然界中对蓝色的喜爱。）可知，我们对蓝色的偏爱由来已久。故选B。

（3）细节理解题。根据第四段中The

other

finding

of

the

research

was

that

our

colour

interests

change

as

darker

colors

as

your

favorites；

（这项研究的另一个发现是，我们对颜色的兴趣会随着我们获得新的体验而改变。例如，你越年轻，你就越有可能喜欢更鲜艳的颜色。随着年龄的增长，你更有可能选择深色作为你的最爱；）可知，我们的颜色偏好可能会随着时间的推移而改变。故选B。

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。

12~15.【答案】C、D、A、B【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段ThenoduleisacombinationofmetalsandoceanographershavediscoveredtrillionsofthemonEarth'soceanfloors.Eachisrichinsomeofthemostimportantelementsformakingtheelectriccars，windturbinesandsolarpanelsthatweneedtoreplacethecarbon-emittingmotors，powerplantsandfactoriesnowdamagingourclimate.（这小块是金属的结合体，海洋学家在地球的海底发现了数以万亿计的这种物质。每一种都含有制造电动汽车、风力涡轮机和太阳能电池板所需的一些最重要的元素，我们需要这些元素来替代目前正在破坏我们气候的碳排放发动机、发电厂和工厂。）可知，展出的这一小块物质是一块富含金属的物质，故选C。

（2）词句猜测题。根据划线短语上文"Wedesperatelyneedsubstantialamountsofmetalscontainedbythesenodulestobuildelectriccarsandpowerplants，"saysHansSmit，chiefexecutiveofFlorida'sOceansMinerals，whichhasannouncedplanstomine
