（4）推理判断题。通读全文可知，Maggie从自己的姓氏得到灵感，想出了售卖由自己的宠物照片制成的日历一个很好的主意，所以她是一个有创造力的人；又因为她把赚取的利润捐给非营利组织，可知她具有社会责任感。故选B。

这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了Maggie将售卖日历赚取的利润捐给非营利组织的感人故事。

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。9~12.本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了澳大利亚社区为了培养年轻一代对纸质书的阅读欣赏而采取的措施。

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。

1.

（1）推理判断题。根据文章第二段Communities

have

dealt

with

this

problem

by

bringing

libraries

to

where

the

kids

are，in

the

streets.（社区已经解决了这个问题，把图书馆带到孩子们所在的街道上。）可知澳大利亚的社区通过在孩子们家附近修建图书馆来培养他们对书籍的热爱。故选D。

2.

（2）猜测词义题。根据文章第三段Street

Library

Australia，nonprofit，was

started

by

Nick

Lowe

after

he

saw

a

Little

Free

Library

in

a

trip

to

the

US.In

2015

it

planned

to

build

30

libraries，the

idea

mushroomed

and

now

there

are

4，500

registered

street

libraries

in

Australia.

"It

just

grew

and

grew，"

Lowe

said.（尼克•劳在一次美国之行中看到一个免费的小图书馆后，创办了澳大利亚街头图书馆，这是一个非营利性组织。2015年，它计划建造30个图书馆，这个想法迅速发展，现在澳大利亚有4500个注册的街道图书馆。"它越来越大，"洛说。）可知mushroomed的意思是"成长迅速"。A.Became

acceptable.变得可以接受；B.Grew

fast.成长迅速；C.Stayed

current.保持现状；D.Changed

slowly.慢慢变了。故选B。3.

（3）推理判断题。根据文章第四段They

are

completely

voluntary

and

anyone

can

start

one.（它们完全是自愿的，任何人都可以创建一个。）可知街头图书馆是自愿建立的。故选A。4.

（4）观点态度题。根据文章最后一段But

the

libraries

are

doing

much

more

than

just

providing

books

and

other

donated

items

to

people.The

street

libraries

are

also

building

community."It's

a

little

stopping

place

outside

your

house，"

Lowe

said.

"It's

a

great

way

to

meet

people

in

your

neighborhood

who

are

also

booklovers，recycle

books

and

find

new

books.But

even

more

importantly，with

a

shared

interest，the

libraries

are

bringing

communities

closer

together."（但是图书馆不仅仅是向人们提供书籍和其他捐赠物品。街道图书馆也在建设社区。"这是你房子外面的一个小停车点，"洛说。"这是一个很好的方式去认识你邻居中的书迷，回收书籍和寻找新书。但更重要的是，有了共同的兴趣，图书馆让社区更加紧密地联系在一起。"）可知Lowe认为街道图书馆将社区联系在一起。A.They

connect

communities

together.他们将社区联系在一起；B.They

improve

education

of

residents.他们提高居民的教育水平；C.They

save

money

on

buying

books.他们在买书上省钱；D.They

promote

economic

development.它们促进经济发展。故选A。13~16.（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Earth

Day

events

typically

have

one

theme

in

common：the

desire

to

show

support

for

environmental

issues

and

teach

future

generations

about

the

need

to

protect

our

planet.
