答案和解析

1〜3.【答案】B、C、D

【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据GlasgowRiversideTransportMuseum部分中

Themuseumhousessteamengines,motorbikes,

Glasgowbusesandjustaboutanythingelsethathasasetofwheels,wingsorsails.（博物馆里有蒸汽

机、摩托车、格拉斯哥公共汽车和其他任何有轮子、翅膀或帆的东西。）可知，如果对孩子对航

海历史感兴趣，可以选择去GlasgowRiversideTransport博物馆。故选B。

（2）推理判断题。根据TheNaturalHistoryMuseum,Hertfordshire部分中

TheVictoriansweremadaboutcollecting,

andthisisessentiallythepersonalcollectionofjustonehome-educatedboy,

whichbeganwhenhewasfiveyearsold.ButasamemberoftheRothschildfamily,

Waltertook40yearstodoit.（维多利亚时代的人热衷于收藏，这基本上是一个在家接受教育的男

孩的个人收藏，从他五岁开始。但作为罗斯柴尔德家族的一员，Waller花了40年时间才做到这一

点。）TheTimeMachineMuseumofScienceFiction,Hertfordshire部分中

Thisistheresultof30yearsofcrazycollectingbyAndyGlazzard.（这是AndyGlazzard30年来疯狂

收藏的结果。）可知，Walter和AndyGlazzard都是花了大量的时间来收藏物品，由此推断二人的

共同之处在于都喜欢收藏东西。故选C。

（3）文章出处题。根据文章第一段Here,

ourselectionofBritain'sstrangestmuseumshassomethingforeveryone.（在这里，我们挑选的英国最

奇怪的博物馆适合每个人。）可知，文章主要介绍的是英国的四个奇妙博物馆，由此文章向游客

们推荐适合的旅游地点，故推断文章出自于一本旅游指南。A.Anewsreport.新闻报道；

B.Anovelwebsite.一个新颖的网站；C.AmagazineonNature.一本自然杂志；D.Atravelguidebook.

一本旅游指南。故选D。

本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了英国的四个奇妙博物馆。

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。

4〜7.【答案】D、D、B、A

【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段Onetime,IwalkedintothekitchentofindHollymakingtoast.I

generallyfeelsafeeatingtoastthatHollyhasmadebecauseitboastsnothingbutfewsteps.（有一次，我

走进厨房，发现霍莉在做吐司。我吃霍莉做的吐司通常觉得很安全，因为它只需要几步。）可知，

作者吃妻子做的吐司时感到安全，因为做吐司的过程很简单。故选D。

（2）细节理解题。根据第六段"Itwasinthefreezer,"Hollysaid."Thebest-bydatedoesn'tcountifthe

productisfrozen."（"它在冰箱里，“霍莉说。"如果产品被冷冻，那么保质期就不算了。”）可知，

作者的妻子认为如果产品被冷冻，那么保质期就不算了，由此可知，霍莉坚持说面包是可以吃的，

因为她认为对于冷冻食品来说，日期限制不起作用。故选D。

（3）推理判断题。根据第七段"Butstillthereisalimitforfrozenfood,"Irespondedholdingupaslice

ofbreadwhichfeltlikeastone.（"但冷冻食品还是有限制的，"我举起一片感觉像石头的面包回应道。）

可知，面包像石头一样，由此可知，面包很硬；根据最后一段"Yes,"saidHolly."Wewereoutofcream,

soIusedpepperfromSichuan,Chinainstead.""（"是的，"霍莉说。"我们的奶油用完了,所以我用

了中国四川的辣椒。"）可知，面包里放了中国四川的辣椒，很辣，由此可知，霍莉做的吐司是又

硬又辣。故选B。

（4）推理判断题。根据倒数第五段"YouneverappreciateanythingIdo,"repliedHolly.（"你永远

不会感激我所做的一切，”霍莉回答。）可知，霍莉为丈夫做了很多，但她认为丈夫并不感激，所

以感到难过，由此可推断出，霍莉在烤面包时下了很大的功夫。

A.Hollymadegreateffortsinmakingtoast.霍莉做烤面包花了很大力气；

B.Hollycanneitherrideabikenordoanycooking.霍莉既不会骑自行车，也不会做饭；

C.Theauthorwasinabadrelationshipwithhiswife.作者与妻子的关系很糟糕；

D.BreadatMacDonald'sisgenerallystoredforalongtime.麦当劳的面包通常要存放很长时间。故

选Ao

这段短文主要描述了作者的妻子霍莉不会做饭。作者发现霍莉做的烤面包又薄又硬，询问了面包

的品种，发现过期日期是2009年。霍莉解释说冷冻食品的过期日期不适用，还提到了一个科学家

解冻并食用了数百万年前的冰冻动物的节目。作者对此表示质疑，认为这只是一个节目。霍莉认

为作者不欣赏她所做的一切，但作者表示他欣赏霍莉的美丽和善良。最后，作者尝了一口面包，

发现霍莉用了中国四川的胡椒代替奶油，导致口中灼烧感。

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语

句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

8〜11.【答案】D、C、A、B

【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第二段High-levelbusinessleadershavelongenthusiasticallypraised

thevirtuesofreading.Buttheyalmostalwaysrecommendnonfiction.Readingnonfictionmightcertainly

bevaluableforcollectingknowledge.However,researchsuggeststhatreadingfictionpredictsasharper

abilitytounderstandotherpeople'smotivations.（高层商业领袖长期以来一*直热情地赞扬阅读的好处。

但他们几乎总是推荐非小说类作品。阅读非小说类书籍对于收集知识无疑是有价值的。然而，研

究表明，阅读小说预示着更强的理解他人动机的能力）可知，阅读小说预示着更强的理解他人动

机的能力，即阅读小说有助于让人们更好地理解他人。故选D项。

（2）词句猜测题。根据划线单词前面的thedesireto"reachaquickconclusionindecision-making（"

在决策中迅速得出结论"的愿望）和划线单词后面的uncertaintyandconfusion（不确定性和混乱）

可知，有认知闭合需求的人肯定厌恶不确定性和混乱。由此可知，划线单词aversion的意义为“厌

恶,憎恶"，与dislike意义一致。A.Amazement.惊讶；B.Desire.渴望；C.Dislike.厌恶；D.Need.需

要。故选C项。

（3）推理判断题。根据第三段Individualswithastrongneedforcognitiveclosurerelyheavilyon"early

informationhints",meaningtheystruggletochangetheirmindsasnewinformationbecomesavailable.A

highneedforcognitiveclosurealsomeansindividualsareattractedtosmallerbitsofinformationand

fewerviewpoints.（对认知封闭有强烈需求的人严重依赖”早期信息暗示”，这意味着当新信息出现

时，他们很难改变自己的想法。对认知封闭的高度需求也意味着个人会被更小的信息和更少的观

点所吸引）可知，对认知闭合有强烈需求的人，严重依赖"早期信息提示"当面对新信息时，他们

难以改变自己的思想由此推知，他们也更倾向于获得更少的信息与观点，即他们不大情愿接受新

生事物。故选A项。

（4）推理判断题。根据第一段Research,however,suggeststhatreadingfictionmayprovidefarmore

importanlbenefitsthannonfiction.ltmaybeoneofthebestmethodsforbuildingempathy（同理心）,

criticalthinkingandcreativity.（然而，研究表明，阅读小说可能比阅读非小说提供更重要的好处。

这可能是培养同理心、批判性思维和创造力的最佳方法之一）以及第三段Individualswhoresistthe

needforcognitiveclosuretendtobemorethoughtful,morecreative,andmorecomfortablewith

competingnarratives—allcharacteristicsofhighemotionalintelligence.（那些不需要认知封闭的人往

往更深思熟虑，更有创造力，更能适应相互竞争的叙述一一这些都是高情商的特征）可知，认知

闭合需求低的人往往具有高情商的性格特征，如更有同理心、更有创造力、更乐于接受自相矛盾

的说辞。又根据最后一段Asreaders,we'llalmostcertainlyfindLolita'snarratorHumbertHumbert

hateful,butweareforcedtoexperiencehowhethinks,avaluableexercisef
