9.Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100places to visit"to"100books to read".Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of"101things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However,not every dolphin will welcome having their busy,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming pushing around them in the water.Worse yet,when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists,they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋槳).
Here's a little secret.Dolphins look like smiling at you,but actually they're just opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile.The 6million people who visit the lady in the Louvre(盧浮宮) every year can't all be wrong after all.But they can be quite annoying,standing in front of you,holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything.In fact,it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons.After queuing for hours,many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate,she wouldn't just be smiling,she‘d be laughing.

分析 這篇文章的作者對所謂的《100個必須旅游的地方》、《100本必須要讀的書》等書是持抵制和鄙視態(tài)度的.也正是因為如此,他出爐了《101件死前不要做的事》.在這些事情中,和海豚一起游泳其實是對海豚生命的傷害和威脅;去看蒙娜麗莎的微笑,也會因為人滿為患而索然無趣…但說到底,他是為了自己的新書打廣告.
解答 12.D,細節(jié)理解題,從此句判斷而出:"Worse yet,when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists,they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋槳).",跟海豚一起游泳會對海豚生命造成傷害,故答案為D.
13.B,推理判斷題,從這兩句可看出答案:"In fact,it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons.After queuing for hours,many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.",并且作者還開玩笑的說:如果蒙娜麗莎知道了她現(xiàn)在的名聲和盧浮宮里游人如織的情景,她早就不是微笑,而是大笑了.所以作者認為去看蒙娜麗莎不像想象中那么滿意,故答案為B.
14.D,推理判斷題,從此句"Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of"101 things not to do:"可知.雖有借踩踏其他名單而抬高自己之嫌,但是這確是他打廣告的目的--售書.
15.A,主旨大意題,從"If you want to find out more about the list,read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die.Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount."可知,作者終極目的是要把讀者拉到他的網(wǎng)站來買書,還提供八折購書.
點評 解答任務型閱讀理解題,首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認真分析,仔細推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準.
