best title for the text would be. / what can be the best title for this text? / which of the following can be the best title for the text? 等。以下是此类题目的基本解题思路。1、确定最佳标题的方法在阅读文章时，要注意文章中反复出现或强调的信息，寻找与文章大多数内容相关的信息，找出覆盖全文的核心词汇，看选项内容是否切中文章的中心论题，也就是要看选项内容与作者的写作目的是否一致。2、寻找文章的主题句了解文章主要论题的关键是找到全文的主题句。主题句通常在文章首段，但是也可能在文章的末段、在文章的某一段落，或者分散在文章的各个段落中。如果每个段落都有主题句，那么把各段落的主题句的中心思想集中起来，即为全文的主题句3、概括文章的主题要把握文章主旨，就必须根据具体的语言环境、陈述内容的逻辑关系（文章的结构）、上下文的连贯意思及文中有关暗示来理解文章的深层含义。4、逆向思维法针对这类题型，考生不妨思考一下，“如果我是作者，遇到这样的标题，文章应该怎样写？”考点：记叙文阅读 b we are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. this article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.so, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. you get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. later you think, “thank goodness, its over. im just not good at public speaking. i hope i never have to do that again.”cheep up! it doesnt have to be that bad. here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. ask yourself the purpose of your speech. what is the occasion? why are you speaking? then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. spend plenty of your time doing your research. then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. never forget your audience. dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. treat your audience with respect. they will appreciate your thoughtfulness.just remember: be prepared. know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. be brief. say what you have to say and then stop. and be yourself. let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.if you follow these simple steps, you will see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. in fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! youre not convinced yet? give it a try and see what happens.25the main idea of this article is _ .athat you can improve your speaking abilitybthat a poor speaker can never changecto always make a short speechdthat it is hard to make a speech26 paragraph 2 implies that _ . amany people dont prepare for a speech bmany people are happy to give a speech cmany people are afraid of giving a speech dmany

statements are true except _ .afew people know how to make good speechesba lecturer does not need to organize his speechcresearch is important in preparing a speechdthere are simple steps you can take to improve your speaking ability【答案】 25.a 26.c 27.d 28.b【解析】试题分析：我们在人生当中，都会遇到演讲的时候，但是，大多数人的演讲并不够好。作者给出了一些做好演讲的建议。演讲要做好准备，紧扣主题，尊重观众，注意场合等。【名师点睛】猜词悟义。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，是阅读过程中的一大关键。最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。抓住所需推断词汇前后的“mean”或系动词或破折号等直接定义该词的部分。抓住文章主旨与该段所表达的中心。特别对于议论文要牢记论点与论据的相互支撑关系。考点：说明文阅读 c beijings markets will soon be flooded with more and cheaper colorful fruit such as orange, mangos and green durian（榴莲）all year round.thanks to a new free trade agreement signed last monday between china and the association of southeast asian nations（asean），more and more tropical southeast asian fruit will enter the country.the agreement means that from july 1,2005, china and asean countries will begin to cut tariffs. there are about 7,000 products included in the cuts. as global communication develops, countries are trading more and more goods with each other. when products are sold across national borders, countries put a tax on them. this type of tax is called a tariff. just like removing an obstacle from the path of these goods, the reduction of tariffs will encourage trade between china and asean countries. it means more products and lower prices.the agreement will bring real benefits for chinese customers, said a chinese foreign ministry spokesman. “in the beijing markets you will easily find more tropical fruit like durian, which used to very, very, very expensive. now they will be cheaper.” the current tariff rate on durian is 22 per cent but will fall to

countries【答案】29.c30.d31.b【解析】试题分析：中国和asean签订了自由贸易协定后，给中国和东南亚国家以及人民带来了许许多多的好处和实惠。【名师点睛】关于细节理解题用细节定位法：细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于高考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：a)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；b)正确分析词语在句中的作用；c)熟练运用英语的句型转换；d)读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。考点：政治经济类新闻阅读。 dmodern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood, and has also carelessly burned them. more than that, though, he has also interfered(干预) with the invisible bonds between the living things in the forests. there are many examples of this kind of destruction. the harmfulness of mans interference can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the kaibab plateau （凯亚巴布高原） of northern arizona. man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.the kaibab had a storybook forest of large-sized pine, douglas fir, white fir, blue and engelmann spruce. in 1882 a visitor noted, we, who have wandered through its forests and parks, have come to regard it as the most enchanting（迷人的）region it has ever been our privilege to visit. this was also the living place of the rocky mountain mule deer. indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. the forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too rapidly. then, in 1906, president theodore roosevelt made the kaibab a national game preserve. deer hunting was forbidden. government hunters started killing off the deers enemies. in 25 years time, 6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the kaibab, by 1924, there were about 100,000.the deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. but there was not nearly enough food. hunting of deer was permitted again. this caused a slight decrease in the deer herd，but a far greater loss resulted from starvation and disease. some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. by 1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. by 1942 it was down to 8,000.32. the destruction of the environment of the kaibab resulted from _ .a. turning the forest into cultivated landb. interfering with natural cycle of forest lifec. forest fires caused by mans carelessnessd. cutting the trees for building materials33. engelmann spruce（para. 2）is most likely the name of _ .a. a tree b. an animal c. a mountain d. a game34. the number of the deer in the kaibab had increased enormously in_ years time.a.25 b.6 c.18 d.1235. years later, large numbers of deer in the kaibab died mainly because of _.a. the cold b. the organized killc. the shortage of food d. the poor management【答案】32.b33.a34.c35.c【解析】35.c细节理解题。由第四段第一二句the deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. but there was not nearly enough food. hunting of deer was permitted again可知。【名师点评】本文通过讲述北亚利桑那的凯亚巴布高原的森林环境是怎样遭到破坏的例子说明人类对自然生态圈的干涉导致环境破坏。文中列举了大量的事实，数字，并且引述了一些相关人士的谈话文中内容较多，关系复杂，阅读中要注意这些问题之间的关系，多读几遍，然后再完成阅读。考点：环保类短文阅读。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为余选项。everyone knows that the frenchmen are romantic, the italians are fashionable and the germans are serious. are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? and if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?at least one group of people is certain that it can. a recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the uk found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the british public. britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. it has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 36 jealousy is sometimes known as the “green eyed monster” and the uk is its home.scientists at warwich university in the uk recently tested this idea. they gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 37 those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others but at the cost of losing their own. two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this. 38 . but there is also opposite evidence. the organization for economic cooperation and development recently reported that the uk is now the worlds fourth largest economy. that is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. people in the uk also work longer hours than anyone else in europe. so the british people are not lazy, either.“it is not really success that the british dislike,” says carey cooper, a professor of management at the university of manchester institute of science and technology. “its people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.” 39 they set out to do things in their way. they work long hours. by their own efforts they become millionaires. 40 it hardly seems worth following their example. if they were more friendly, people would like them more. and more people want to be like them.a. this seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.b. the one who owns most money in the end is the winner.c. as a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”d. it is not true that british people are born jealous of others success.e. some were given a little, others a great deal.f. but instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.g. perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.【答案】36.c37.e38.a39.g40.f【解析】39.g 根据上一段的意思可知英国人对成功的看法，再结合后一句they set out to do things in their way. they work long hours.可知问题出在企业家身上。答案为g。40.f 根据前后句by their own efforts they become millionaires. 40 it hardly seems worth following their example.可知中间存在意思的转折，虽然成功，有钱，但是没人爱他们，故选f。【名师点睛】下面总结一些七选五的解题技巧1、先看选项。跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。2、再看空前空后。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。3、注意代词或定冠词。在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。4、注意一些特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。考点：考查信息匹配第三部分：
