ChineseYuxianPaper-cut【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了中國(guó)蔚縣剪紙。（1）考查段落大意。根據(jù)第一段可知，介紹了中國(guó)剪紙的起源。故選B。（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“ThesuccessfulmakingofaYuxianpaper-cutis30percentdependentonthemaker'scuttingskills,and70percentonthemaker'sdyeingskills.”蔚縣剪紙的成功制作30%取決于制作人的切割技巧，70%取決于制作人的染色技巧。可知染色技巧對(duì)于剪紙最重要。故選C。（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Thepaper-cutisparticularlyknownforitsvividdescriptionofcharactersinvarioustraditionalChineseoperas”剪紙以其對(duì)各種傳統(tǒng)戲曲中人物的生動(dòng)描述而聞名。可知，選A。（4）考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知，短文主要介紹了蔚縣剪紙有四個(gè)主要步驟。制作蔚縣剪紙需要精確的切割技巧，這突出了手工藝者的藝術(shù)品味和染色技巧。傳統(tǒng)蔚縣剪紙突出了兩個(gè)主題:中國(guó)戲曲中的花和人物。這些都是圍繞著“中國(guó)蔚縣剪紙”這個(gè)主題展開的。故選D。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，段落大意和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解

HowtoBeaPopularGamePlayer【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了孩子們?cè)谕嬗螒驎r(shí)有自己的游戲規(guī)則，他們很少需要裁判，很少去記分．他們喜歡玩取決于運(yùn)氣的游戲，這樣他們的個(gè)人能力就不能直接進(jìn)行比較了．但是，成年人很難發(fā)現(xiàn)孩子們的游戲令人興奮，他們常常對(duì)孩子們反復(fù)玩這么簡(jiǎn)單的游戲感到困惑。（1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Childrenhavetheirownrulesinplayinggames．Theyseldomneedareferee（裁判）andrarelytroubletokeepscores．”可知，介紹了孩子們玩游戲的一些特點(diǎn)，比如孩子的游戲有自己的規(guī)則，也不需要裁判，而且可以隨時(shí)結(jié)束，故選A。（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Hebecomesaleaderwhenitcomestohisturn”可知，當(dāng)輪到他時(shí)，他就成了領(lǐng)袖．所以要成為一個(gè)游戲的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，孩子必須等待輪到他才行，故選B。（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Hecanbeagoodplayerwithouthavingtothinkwhetherheisapopularperson，andhecanfindhimselfbeingausefulpartnertosomeoneofwhomheisordinarilyafraid．”可知孩子們喜歡玩游戲的重要原因之一是他們可以在游戲中假裝成別人，選A。（4）考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知，游戲在孩子們的生活中是必不可少的．他們無需裁判，也很少計(jì)分，他們甚至不在乎輸贏．盡管在成年人眼里這些游戲非常簡(jiǎn)單，枯燥．但是孩子們對(duì)此卻是樂此不疲．作者認(rèn)為通過游戲，孩子們學(xué)會(huì)了遵守規(guī)則，可知選B?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解
