答案和解析1~3.【答案】A、D、C【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段KarenGaffney标题下Sheisalsoanoteworthy（显著的）individualforbeingthefirstpersonwithDownsyndrometobeawardedanhonorarydoctor'sdegree.（她也是第一位被授予荣誉博士学位的唐氏综合症患者）可知，KarenGaffney获得了博士学位，即最高的学历，故选A。

（2）细节理解题。根据第三段MadelineStuart标题下Madelineiscreditedasbeingtheworld'sfirstsupermodelwithDownsyndrome.（Madeline被认为是世界上第一个患有唐氏综合症的超模。）可知，Madeline是世界上第一个患有唐氏综合症的超模。故选D。

（3）推理判断题。根据第二段SheisthefirstpersonwithDownsyndrometocompletearelayswimoftheEnglishChannel.（她是第一个完成英吉利海峡接力游的唐氏综合症患者），第三段SheisanAustralianmodelwiththisdisorder.（她是一名患有这种疾病的澳大利亚模特），第四段HeisnoteworthyforbeingoneofthefirstDownsyndromeactorstostarinaprime-time（黄金时段）BBCdrama（他是第一批出演BBC黄金时段电视剧的唐氏综合症演员之一）以及第五段SheisresponsibleforfoundingCollettey'sCookies，acookiecompanybasedinBoston.（她负责创立Colletey'sCookies，这是一家总部位于波士顿的饼干公司。）可知，文章列举了四个患有唐氏综合症的人在生活中取得成功的故事，来激励人们即使患有唐氏综合症，依然可以拥有成功的人生。因此本文最可能来自于一本激励人心的故事书，故选C。

这篇短文主要介绍了几位患有唐氏综合症的人士的成功故事。Karen

Gaffney是第一位完成英吉利海峡接力游泳的唐氏综合症患者，也是第一位获得荣誉博士学位的唐氏综合症患者。Madeline

Stuart是第一位在时装周上走秀的唐氏综合症超模。Tommy

Jessop是首位在BBC黄金时段剧集中担任主演的唐氏综合症演员。Collette

Divitto是创办了一家以波士顿为基地的饼干公司，雇佣了许多患有残疾的员工。他们的故事展示了唐氏综合症患者也能在生活中取得成功。

with

（3）推理判断题。阅读全文尤其根据第四段Sam

the

coast.（萨姆决心继续深造，争取再次升职。家人仍然不能经常见到他。有时萨姆不得不在星期天招待客户。不出所料，山姆的努力又得到了回报，他买了一套漂亮的公寓，里面有俯瞰海岸的美景。）可知山姆有抱负，有责任心。故选B。

这篇短文主要讲述了Sam是一个勤奋的人，为了养家糊口，他靠送面包为生。除了星期天，Sam几乎没有和家人一起吃饭。他努力工作和学习，希望能找到一份薪水更高的工作。尽管家人抱怨他没有和他们花足够的时间，但他总是为了他们而努力。最终，Sam通过了考试，得到了一份薪水丰厚的工作。他可以给家人提供更好的生活。他继续努力工作，希望能晋升为经理。最终，他买了一套美丽的公寓，可以更多地陪伴家人。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了分享给我们的身心带来的好处，并呼吁读者去分享。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。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。

（3）观点态度题。根据文章最后一段All
