　　A．otherwise

　　B．then

　　C．and

　　D．therefore

　　解析：這是 “祈使句＋and＋簡單句” 結構。as planned是插入語。語意：明天務必來這兒，按照預定的計劃，我們要參加那位杰出的播音員的追悼會。

　　答案：C

　　警示誤區：出題人為了增加題目的難度，經常在題干中使用省略、倒裝或加入插入語等。為了快捷、準確地理解題意，可以去掉句子中的插入語或附加成分，這樣就能迅速地找出答案。

　　B．this；who；that

　　C．it；who；that

　　D．which；that；that

　　解析：語意：是那個吉他彈得很好的Simon幫助盲人從起火的公交車里逃出來的嗎？Simon后面跟著非限制性定語從句，由于指人，故用who；第一個空填it，第三個空填that，是強調句。

　　答案：C

　　10．—Why not join us in the barbecue?

　　—________.

　　A．Sure，please

　　B．I don’t like dancing

　　C．That’s all right

　　D．OK，coming

　　答案：D

　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then，suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or love？”

　　Job applicants in the west increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.

　　Employers want people who are skilled，enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response，employers are increasingly using the questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.

　　The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Temperament Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know.This is also called aptitude(天資)test.

　　According to Mark Baldwin of

　　Alliance，many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.“When a Chinese fills out an aptitude test，he or she will think there is a right answer but they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.”

　　This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma(窘境)．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest，but they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.

　　問題三：詞義猜測和細節理解類常見問題

　　高考閱讀理解中比重最大也是比較基礎的題型就是詞義猜測和細節理解題，這類題是考生爭取的重點，它要求考生快速而準確地獲取信息，從而拿到最基本的分數。考生最常見的問題就是見到生單詞就頭腦發蒙，無法從已知信息中找到有用的線索，從而造成失分。因為本節內容較重要，所以我用較多篇幅來講解一下。

　　例題精析：

　　【例1】 (2009·廣東卷B篇)We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured_up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that tendollar grand prize，each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich.

　　(A)The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

　　A．formed an idea for

　　B．made an outline for

　　C．made some space for

　　D．chose some colors for

　　【答案解析】 選擇A。詞義猜測題。上下句是Some...Others...句子，while we conjured up our designs的對應部分是while deep in thought，可見conjured up的意思是“思考，想象”，所以A項正確。

　　【例2】 (2009·全國Ⅱ卷A篇)I know what you’re thinking: pizza(比薩餅)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a．m. if you want to.

　　(A)The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________

　　A．food remaining after a meal

　　B．things left undone

　　C．meals made of vegetables

　　D．pizza topped with fruit

　　【答案解析】 選擇A。詞義猜測題。根據畫線單詞之前的last night’s可以猜測劃線單詞的意思應為“(前一天晚上的)剩飯”。

　　【例3】 (2008·陜西卷A篇)There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back，with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back，our_legs_were_like_jelly.

　　(A)The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means ________.

　　A．we were weak

　　B．we were unhappy

　　C．we were dissatisfied

　　D．we were disappointed

　　【答案解析】 詞義猜測題。根據There was no shade and our legs were aching可知“我們很累很虛弱”，故A項正確。

　　【例4】 (2008·重慶卷A篇)I arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子) after quilt from the boxes，proudly showing me their beauties. She was perparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes，I noticed something at the bottom of on box.. I pulled it out. “What is this？” I asked.

　　“Oh？”Mom said，“That’s Mama’s quilt.”

　　I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together: irrugular designs，childish pictures，a crooked line on the right.

　　(C)1.Why did the author go to mother’s home?

　　A．To see her mother’s quilts

　　B．To help prepare for a show

　　C．To get together for the family dinner

　　D．To discuss her grandmother’s life

　　(C)2.The underlined word “crooked” in the passage most probably means ________.

　　A．unfinished

　　B．broken

　　C．bent

　　D．unusual

　　【答案解析】

　　1． 細節理解題。由文章的第一句可知作者回母親家是為了參加家庭聚餐，故C項正確。

　　2． 詞義猜測題。前面的情況都與一條好的quilt的特點相反，所以crooked的意思應該和其相反，故C項正確。

　　【例5】 (2008·安徽卷C篇)How do people climb the wall? To climb，you need special shoes and harness (保護帶) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high，and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes，it’s not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling，so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall，the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.

　　Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body，especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger.

　　(B)1.The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is ________.

　　A．to tie ropes to your

　　C．to move away from the wall D．to climb straight up

　　(B)2.The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means ________.

　　A．settlement

　　B．exercise

　　C．excitement

　　D．tiredness

　　【答案解析】

　　1． 細節理解題。根據it’s difficult not to feel fear可知，人們在攀墻時很難控制自己的恐懼，故B項正確。

　　2． 詞義猜測題。第二段第一句中exercise點明本詞意義，這種運動給你身體完全的鍛煉，所以B項正確。
