the

of

the

pleasure

of

reading.表现读书的乐趣。故选D。

本文是一篇说明文。本文主要阐述了阅读的乐趣，即阅读是一种让思维活跃的乐趣，可以帮助人们了解世界和自我。同时，文章也提醒读者，阅读应该是一种自由和愉悦的体验，而不是被迫的任务。

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】A、D、D、B【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段What

comes

into

your

mind

when

you

think

of

British

food？Probably

fish

and

chips，or

a

Sunday

dinner

of

meat

and

two

vegetables.But

is

British

uninteresting？Even

though

Britain

for

less-than-impressive

cuisine，it

is

more

chefs

who

appear

frequently

on

our

screens

and

whose

the

best

lists.（当你想到英国食物时，你会想到什么？可能是鱼和薯条，或者是星期天的晚餐，肉和两种蔬菜。但是英国食物真的那么无趣吗？尽管英国的烹饪素以平庸著称，但它正在培养出更多的顶级厨师，他们经常出现在我们的电视屏幕上，他们的食谱经常登上畅销书排行榜。）可知人们认为英国食物是简单平庸的。故选A。

（2）推理判断题。根据第二段It

seems

that

TV

programmes

have

helped

change

what

people

think

about

cooking.（电视节目似乎帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。）可知英国电视上的烹饪节目是有影响力的。故选D。

（3）细节理解题。根据最后一段Almost

one

third

say

they

now

use

a

wider

variety

of

ingredients（配料）

than

they

used

to，and

just

under

1

4

say

they

now

buy

better

quality

ingredients

than

before.（近三分之一的人表示，他们现在使用的食材种类比以前更多，不到四分之一的人表示，他们现在购买的食材质量比以前更好。）可知现在有33%的人使用更多样化的食材。故选D。

（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段With

an

increasing

number

of

male

chefs

on

TV，it's

no

longer

"uncool"for

boys

to

like

cooking.（随着电视上越来越多的男厨师，男孩们喜欢烹饪不再是"不酷"的事情。）可知作者接下来有可能介绍电视节目中的男厨师。故选B。

本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国食物的变化和发展。

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。16~20.【答案】G、A、F、C、E【解析】（1）G．推理判断题。根据上文"Weallneedsomenormalstressinourlives        ，afterall. （1）Sochallengethefollowinglimits."    毕竟，我们的生活中需要一些压力，所以挑战以下的极限。所以小题（1）在本句中要起到承上启下的作用。故G选项"如果你坚持呆在自己的舒适区，你永远看不到任何进步。"切题。故选G。
