（3）推理判断题。根据第五段Thenmonth，IcontactedJames，authorEnd，aforthcomingaboutideas.Henotohisout，butafanmy，heImightareasonable（然后，詹姆斯普朗科特联系了我。他不想大声读他的书，他认为我可能会做得很好，去做朗读者是被人邀请去的。

【点评】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。

【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了一项研究发现，给予他人帮助的人更长寿。研究人员发现，人们为什么自愿参与志愿工作，而不是是否参与志愿工作，才是真正重要的。研究还发现，志愿者的死亡率较非志愿者低，而经常参与志愿工作的人的死亡率更低。但是，志愿工作的动机对生存率的影响更大。研究人员发现，那些认为出于对需要帮助的人的同情心而参与志愿工作更重要的人更有可能活着。相反，那些认为个人利益更重要的人更有可能死亡。研究人员认为，如果自我利益成为参与志愿工作的主要动机，那么志愿工作的潜在健康益处将会大大降低。因此，鼓励人们参与志愿工作仅仅因为对个人有益可能是不明智的。

【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Peoplewhogive，studieshaveshown.Now，付出的人更长寿，密歇根大学研究人员的一项新研究表明，而不是他们是否志愿）可知。故选B。

（2）细节理解题。根据第二段Forthestudy，376people.（在这项研究中，这些数据针对同样的3376人随机样本）可知。故选A。

（3）推理判断题。根据第三段Theresearchersaskedpeopletoratehowimportanttheyfoundvariousreasonsforvolunteering，themorelikelytheyweretobealive.（研究人员要求人们评价他们认为志愿服务的各种原因有多重要，人们对诸如同情需要帮助的人这样的原因评价越重要，"帮助有困难的人"可能会使志愿者受益最大。
