____________________________________（選自2003年福建省三明市試題）

【解題思路點(diǎn)撥】短文作者由Tom深夜玩電腦游戲這則故事寫起，并由此引發(fā)感想：

父母親給孩子購買電腦，本希望能幫助孩子學(xué)好功課。結(jié)果卻適得其反，許多孩子玩游戲、

看錄像，以致于荒廢了學(xué)業(yè)。有些國家的科學(xué)家認(rèn)為電腦讓很多人失業(yè)，并使他們陷入了困

境。電腦實(shí)在是可恨可憎的罪魁禍?zhǔn)住６涛淖詈笳f，玩游戲上癮成了社會(huì)生活中的一個(gè)嚴(yán)重

問題，到了非解決不可的地步了。

1.Hewasplayingcomputergames.根據(jù)“Oh,Tom.You'restillplayingonthatcomputer.

“Tomwassittinginfrontofabrightcomputerscreenonwhichamotorbikewasrunningfast."

和"ButI'venearlywonthegame."這三句話可知答案。

2.Shefeltveryworried.短文并沒有直接告訴我們答案，但是通過Mrs.White所說的話

語，尤其是"Youspendmoretimeonthismachinethanonyourhomework."這一句可以推斷：

她擔(dān)心兒子的功課會(huì)受影響。顯然，其心情當(dāng)然是十分焦慮不安的。

3.Theythinkthatcomputerscanhelptheirchildrenimprovetheirstudyatschool.本小題屬

教

k一^4▲?q記j錄今天造就明天y_______________________________________________

于表層理解題，答案可直接在倒數(shù)第二段的開頭處找到。

4.No,hedoesn,t.作者說，我們經(jīng)?？闯鲇螒驈d里擠滿了人，特別是少年兒童。他們花

很多錢與電腦游戲比賽。輸?shù)迷蕉?，就越想贏。以至于造成了不想學(xué)習(xí)的惡果。山作者的這

番話，我們是不難看出作者對花錢玩游戲這一行為的態(tài)度的。

5.Becausetheysaycomputerscausemillionsofpeopletolosetheirjobsorcausethemalot

oftrouble.顯然，文章最后一段的"Theysaycomputerscausemillionsofpeopletolosetheir

jobsorcausethemalotoftrouble.Computergameaddiction（癮）isaseriousprobleminsocial

life.”這幾句話是該題答案的出處。

Passage2

KateHolmeswasvisitingafriend,oldMrs.Sydney.Mrs.SydneyhadknownKateallherlife.

ShelikedtotellKateaboutmysteries（神秘故事）andseewhetherKatecouldsolvethem.

“Youareverygoodatsolvingmysteries,shesaidtoKate,“butsomedayV11foolyou!

6.Weretheybrothersorfriends?

（選自2003年上海市試題）

【解題思路點(diǎn)撥】由于這篇機(jī)智故事篇幅較長，其難度也較大。故事的梗概是：Mrs.

Sydney與Kate是好朋友，她喜歡給Kate講一些神秘故事。聰明的Kate總是能夠回答故事

中的問題。有一次，Mrs.Sydney想難為一下Kale,就給她講了這樣一則故事：Jed自幼父

母雙亡，獨(dú)自一個(gè)出去闖蕩，后來發(fā)現(xiàn)并開采了?座銅礦，隨即成為一名很有錢的人。很多

年之后的一天，年事已高的Jed快要辭世的時(shí)候留下了遺囑。他將自己的財(cái)產(chǎn)一分為二，一

半給自己的好朋友Dan,另一半給自己唯一的親人一??弟弟Alfo可是沒等說出自己弟弟的

地址，Jed就閉上了眼睛。而Dan并不認(rèn)識(shí)Alf,也不知道他住在什么地方。他只好憑借著

一張Jed和Alf兄弟二人小時(shí)候的照片和一張前不久Alf寄來的一張明信片去尋找Alf……

1.coppermine.關(guān)于Jed發(fā)家致富的原因，Mrs.Sydney在故事的第一段中交待得非常明

白。wenttoMichigan,wherehefoundacoppermine.Heboughtthelandandranthemine

andbecameaveryrichman."，根據(jù)這幾句話，顯然可知是銅礦讓他發(fā)了財(cái)。

2.TherewereTed,sdyingwishes.答案就在“TherewerehisdyingwishesinDan's

envelope.ItgavehimJed'smineandhouse.99這兩個(gè)句子中。

3.Yes,hedid.讀罷全文，很容易知道Dan遵照遺囑，利用明信片和老照片這兩條線索,

來到Boston,最后找到了Alf,完成了Jed托付給自己的任務(wù)。所以答案是肯定的。

4.Thephoto,thepostcard.Dan從前不久Alf寄來的明信片上得知Alf住在Boston；接著

他張貼廣告把所有名字叫做AlfWright的人招來；最后利用照片所提供的重要信息找到了

Alfo顯然，這三者對Dan找到Alf起著十分重要的作用，缺一不可。題目中已將advertisement

給出，故此得出答案。

5.…twins/twinbrothers.這道題目頗有難度，不僅考查了考生的理解能力，也考查了考

生的智力水平和推理判斷能力。從“OnewasanoldphotothatshowedAlfandJed.Butitwas

takenontheirtenthbirthday,fiftyyearsago.”提供的信息中，可知Alf和Jed在過十歲生日時(shí)

的照片，兄弟倆是同歲，即可推斷他們一定是攣生兄弟以及Alf現(xiàn)在的年齡是六十歲。這也

正是Dan從那么多人中分辨出來Alf的唯一依據(jù)。

6.…Dan/Mrs.Sydneywerefriends.短文的開頭交待了Kate與Mrs.Sydney是好朋友。在

Mrs.Sydney的故事中，“…andpleasegivetheotheronetomybrotherAlf.”也說明了Jed和

Alf是兄弟關(guān)系。那么Jed還能與誰有朋友或兄弟關(guān)系呢？根據(jù)“Hesentforagoodfriend,Dan

Cole,whohadworkedforhimforyears.可知Dan與Jed是朋友關(guān)系。又由Mrs.Sydney說

的“JedWrightwasmyfriendwhenIwasachild.”這句話可知Jed與Dan或Mrs.Sydney也是

朋友關(guān)系。由此可得答案。

_____________________________________________（選自2003年遼寧省試題）

【解題思路點(diǎn)撥】這是一篇時(shí)尚生活短文。隨著電子技術(shù)的飛速發(fā)展。當(dāng)今的人們足不

出戶就可以利用VCR在家里看電影了。在家中看電影既輕松又實(shí)惠。你只需到附近的音像

店租一些喜歡的電影，和家人或朋友?起舒舒服服地欣賞。

l.（The）VCR（s）.文章第一段說，現(xiàn)在人們用不著再去電影院，只需把電影片帶回家就

可以看到自己喜愛的電影了。是什么東西讓這成為現(xiàn)實(shí)了呢？“TheVCR,hasmadethis

possible,??n和“VCRsmakeitpossibleforustowatchfilmsathomeinsteadofthecinema”這

兩句說出了答案。

2.Torentvideotapes/films.本題答案源自“Peoplecanjustgotoavideostoreneartheir

houses,rent（ffi）oneormorefilmsforadayoraweekend這句話中。

3.No,itisn*t.根據(jù)“Theycostjustafewdollarseachday.”這句話，可知答案應(yīng)該是否

定的。

5.Watchingvideofilmsathome.本題的答案是不能在短文中直接找到的。仔細(xì)揣摩最后

一段作者描述的在家里看電影的場景，不難體會(huì)出作者的艷羨之情。山此，可以得出“更喜

歡在家里看電影”這一結(jié)論。

4.HowdidJoanfindouttheinformationaboutthenursingjob?

5.WhatwasJoan'splanforthefuture?

_______________________________（選自2003年江西省試題）

【解題思路點(diǎn)撥】這是JoanCroft的?篇自述。由于不喜歡自己的第一份工作，JoanCroft

后來做了一名歌手?？梢?yàn)楦栉鑸F(tuán)不久解散了，她只好另謀職業(yè)。小時(shí)候從未想過要當(dāng)護(hù)士

的Joan因?yàn)榕既坏囊淮螜C(jī)會(huì)成了一名護(hù)士，并且從此喜歡上了這一職業(yè)。

l.Itwasofficework.短文開頭的第三句"Ididntreallylikemyfirstjob,whichwasoffice

work.”即是答案的依據(jù)。

2.Becauseshedidn,tlikestayinginthesameplacewiththesamepeoplearoundherallday

andeveryday./Becauseshewasfedupwithit.Joan為什么不喜歡自己的第?份職業(yè)呢？由

“…butthat'sjustaboutallyoucansayaboutit.Istayedinthesameplacewiththesamepeople

aroundmealldayandeveryday.”這句話不難看出，-天到晚和周圍的那些老面孔的人呆在

同一個(gè)地方，且天天如此，她感到厭倦了。

3.Becausethesinginggroupbrokeup.短文首段的最末一句說明了Joan沒有繼續(xù)她的第

二份工作的原因一”…thesinginggroupbrokeup（解散）andIhadtostartlookingforsomething

else.”（歌舞團(tuán)解散了）。

4.Shefoundanadvertisementinapaper.顯然，“…butitneverenteredmyheaduntilIsaw

anadvertisementinapaper.”這句話是答案的出處。

5.Shehopedtogetmarriedsometimeandwentonhernursingjob.短文的最后一段交待了

Joan未來的計(jì)劃--在某個(gè)時(shí)候結(jié)婚，并且繼續(xù)從事護(hù)士這一職業(yè)。如果不仔細(xì)審讀，很可

能將其中的一個(gè)要點(diǎn)遺漏。另外，還要注意該問題是一般過去時(shí)的句子，不可受短文中句子

時(shí)態(tài)的影響。由此考生也應(yīng)接受教訓(xùn)：做這一類題目的時(shí)候，不可簡單地將材料中的句子照

搬照抄，一定要讀透題目，然后再考慮答案。
