【答案】(1)D

(2)C

(3)B

（4）A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，因紐特人教育孩子的方式最溫柔，介紹了因紐特人

教育孩子的黃金規(guī)則"不對小孩叫喊”以及他們塑造孩子行為的一種方式"講故事"，讓我們

時刻記住孩子做錯事的時候要保持冷靜。

（1）考宣詞義猜測。劃線詞組所在句子為讓步狀語從句，"although（即使）"前后句是相

反關系。句意為：這種文化認為訓斥孩子，或者以生氣的口吻對孩子說話都是不合適的，

即使小孩子讓家長生氣的時候也是這樣。故選D。

（2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的"Parents"retell"whathappenedwhenaboythrewa

tantrum（發(fā)脾氣）bywayof.，可知，家長講述的是小男孩發(fā)脾氣時所發(fā)生的事情。也就是說

故事內(nèi)容就是小孩子做錯的事情。故選C。

（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后,段中的"Anddon'tforgettokeepcool.Afterall,boyswillbe

boys.不要忘記保持冷靜。畢竟，孩子就是孩子。"可知，作者認為小孩子犯錯時，家長要

寬容孩子的錯誤，不能對孩子要求太高。故選B。

（4）考查主旨大意。文章主要通過講述因紐特人溫柔地教育孩子的方式，讓我們對如何

教育孩子有所啟發(fā)。故選A。

【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考直，是一

篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行

分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。

日舉行的時間和節(jié)日特色。

(1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)FieldDay部分中的“FieldPaymeansNewYear'sDayforyoung

peopleinSydney."可知，F(xiàn)ieldDay對于年輕人來說意味著新年，因此人們在悉尼能夠享受有

趣的新年。故選C。

(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)TheMcDowellMountainMusicFestival部分中的“Sinceitsfounding

in2004fitistheonly100%nor-profitmusicfestivaldesignedtosupport,entertainandeducate

的不是賺錢。故選B。

natureisexpectedtobestrengthened.”和TheOldSettler'sMusicFestival部分提到的“The

festivalisheldinthecountryofTexasattheheightofthewildflowerseason.”可知，這兩個音樂

【答案】(1)C

(2)B

(3)D

【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了剛離開家上大學的學生面對新環(huán)境可

能遇到的問題和給他們提出的建議。

(1)細行理解題。由原文“Increases/decreasesinappetite.”可知，如果一個人想家，就有可

能增加或減少食欲，所以C選項"感覺食物或水果失去吸引力”符合題意，而其他選項“想跟

別人吵架"、“對學習比以前更感興趣"和"幾乎參加了大學所有的活動”都不符合題意。所以

答案選C。

(2)細節(jié)理解題。由原文“Unhappinesswhenthingsaredifferentfromyourexpectationsof

studentlife.”可知，當事情不符合新入學的學生的期望時，他們就會不高興。所以B選項

"他們對不符合預期的事物感到厭煩”符合題意。所以答案選Bo

(3)推理判斷題。由原文"Keepingoodcontactwiththepeopleyouhaveleftbehind"可知,

要跟留下的人保持聯(lián)系，所以A選項"要一直讓老朋友留下”是不正確的。由原文“Setupa

balancebetweenworkandleisure.”可知，應該在工作和休閑之前建立一個平衡,所以B選

項“提醒他們自己保持忙碌并忘記想家"是不符合題意的。由原文“Makecontactsandfriends

throughsharedactivitiessuchassportsorotherinterests."可知，可以通過運動或其他興趣來

結識其他朋友，所以C選項"強迫自己周末待在宿舍”是不符合題意的，而D選項“跟朋友一

起運動”是止確的。所以答案選D。

【點評】推斷題型答題技巧。

推理是在既有信息的基礎上得出合乎文章內(nèi)容的內(nèi)涵意義，即某一問題、某一觀點沒有直

接表述，血寓意在文章的字生行何，要求通過文中信息分析推出某種符合作者思想、符合

文章邏輯的內(nèi)涵意義。推斷則是指通過對文章進行符合邏輯的綜合分析，推出文章未直接

陳述的言外之意。推斷題推斷得正確與否，很大程度上取決于是否能正確把握作者潛隱在

字里行間的語氣及觀點。

4.閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

(3)C

(4)D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，電影和音樂的關系密切，音樂對于電影影響重大，

作者說明了電影制作者如何用音樂來渲染氣氛。

(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的判uttrywatchingthemv/ithoutthebackgroundmusic

andyoujustmightdecidethey'renotsodifferentafterall."可知，但是試卷在沒有背景音樂的

情況下看它們，你可能會覺得它們并沒有什么不同。所以通過反向推理，要是有了背景音

樂，恐怖電影和喜劇電影就截然不同了。故判斷出恐怖電影和喜劇電影的區(qū)別在于他們的

背景音樂。故選B。

(2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的"Usingthisknowledge,composersusesuddenchanges

infilmmusicspeedtocreatefearamongaudiences."可知，利用這一知識，作曲家利用電影音

樂速度的突然變化在觀眾中制造恐懼。所以音樂的突然變化會使觀眾恐懼。故選D.

(3)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的"Allthataudiencesaresupposedtofeelisaheightened

senseofemotion—theyshouldn'trealizewhat'scausingit.Onlywhenthemusicistakenoutof

thefilmshouldaudiencesunderstanditseffects."可知,觀眾應該感受到的只是一種強烈的情

感一一他們不應該意識到是什么導致了這種情感。只有當音樂被從電影中刪除時，觀眾才

能理解它的影響。所以這段在解釋最好的電影音樂是不易被觀眾察覺的音樂。也就是對

"subtle"的解釋。故第三段加下劃線的"subtle"一詞是C選項“不明顯的"。故選C。

(4)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的"buthepredictedthat"wewillseemoreofitusedin

moviesinthefuture"可知，但他預測“我們將來會看到更多的電影會使用它"。所以從最后一

段nJ知，"infrasound”將在未來的電影中被更多地使用。故選D.

【點評】本題考點涉及細行理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱

讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息、，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選

出正確答案。
