【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，因纽特人教育孩子的方式最温柔，介绍了因纽特人

教育孩子的黄金规则"不对小孩叫喊”以及他们塑造孩子行为的一种方式"讲故事"，让我们

时刻记住孩子做错事的时候要保持冷静。

（1）考宣词义猜测。划线词组所在句子为让步状语从句，"although（即使）"前后句是相

反关系。句意为：这种文化认为训斥孩子，或者以生气的口吻对孩子说话都是不合适的，

即使小孩子让家长生气的时候也是这样。故选D。

（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Parents"retell"whathappenedwhenaboythrewa

tantrum（发脾气）bywayof.，可知，家长讲述的是小男孩发脾气时所发生的事情。也就是说

故事内容就是小孩子做错的事情。故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。根据最后,段中的"Anddon'tforgettokeepcool.Afterall,boyswillbe

boys.不要忘记保持冷静。毕竟，孩子就是孩子。"可知，作者认为小孩子犯错时，家长要

宽容孩子的错误，不能对孩子要求太高。故选B。

（4）考查主旨大意。文章主要通过讲述因纽特人温柔地教育孩子的方式，让我们对如何

教育孩子有所启发。故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考直，是一

篇文化类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行

分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

【答案】(1)C

(2)B

(3)D

【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了刚离开家上大学的学生面对新环境可

能遇到的问题和给他们提出的建议。

(1)细行理解题。由原文“Increases/decreasesinappetite.”可知，如果一个人想家，就有可

能增加或减少食欲，所以C选项"感觉食物或水果失去吸引力”符合题意，而其他选项“想跟

别人吵架"、“对学习比以前更感兴趣"和"几乎参加了大学所有的活动”都不符合题意。所以

答案选C。

(2)细节理解题。由原文“Unhappinesswhenthingsaredifferentfromyourexpectationsof

studentlife.”可知，当事情不符合新入学的学生的期望时，他们就会不高兴。所以B选项

"他们对不符合预期的事物感到厌烦”符合题意。所以答案选Bo

(3)推理判断题。由原文"Keepingoodcontactwiththepeopleyouhaveleftbehind"可知,

要跟留下的人保持联系，所以A选项"要一直让老朋友留下”是不正确的。由原文“Setupa

balancebetweenworkandleisure.”可知，应该在工作和休闲之前建立一个平衡,所以B选

项“提醒他们自己保持忙碌并忘记想家"是不符合题意的。由原文“Makecontactsandfriends

throughsharedactivitiessuchassportsorotherinterests."可知，可以通过运动或其他兴趣来

结识其他朋友，所以C选项"强迫自己周末待在宿舍”是不符合题意的，而D选项“跟朋友一

起运动”是止确的。所以答案选D。

【点评】推断题型答题技巧。

推理是在既有信息的基础上得出合乎文章内容的内涵意义，即某一问题、某一观点没有直

接表述，血寓意在文章的字生行何，要求通过文中信息分析推出某种符合作者思想、符合

文章逻辑的内涵意义。推断则是指通过对文章进行符合逻辑的综合分析，推出文章未直接

陈述的言外之意。推断题推断得正确与否，很大程度上取决于是否能正确把握作者潜隐在

字里行间的语气及观点。

4.阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

(2)D

(3)C

(4)D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，电影和音乐的关系密切，音乐对于电影影响重大，

作者说明了电影制作者如何用音乐来渲染气氛。

(1)考查推理判断。根据第一段中的判uttrywatchingthemv/ithoutthebackgroundmusic

andyoujustmightdecidethey'renotsodifferentafterall."可知，但是试卷在没有背景音乐的

情况下看它们，你可能会觉得它们并没有什么不同。所以通过反向推理，要是有了背景音

乐，恐怖电影和喜剧电影就截然不同了。故判断出恐怖电影和喜剧电影的区别在于他们的

背景音乐。故选B。

(2)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Usingthisknowledge,composersusesuddenchanges

infilmmusicspeedtocreatefearamongaudiences."可知，利用这一知识，作曲家利用电影音

乐速度的突然变化在观众中制造恐惧。所以音乐的突然变化会使观众恐惧。故选D.

(3)考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"Allthataudiencesaresupposedtofeelisaheightened

senseofemotion—theyshouldn'trealizewhat'scausingit.Onlywhenthemusicistakenoutof

thefilmshouldaudiencesunderstanditseffects."可知,观众应该感受到的只是一种强烈的情

感一一他们不应该意识到是什么导致了这种情感。只有当音乐被从电影中删除时，观众才

能理解它的影响。所以这段在解释最好的电影音乐是不易被观众察觉的音乐。也就是对

"subtle"的解释。故第三段加下划线的"subtle"一词是C选项“不明显的"。故选C。

(4)考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"buthepredictedthat"wewillseemoreofitusedin

moviesinthefuture"可知，但他预测“我们将来会看到更多的电影会使用它"。所以从最后一

段nJ知，"infrasound”将在未来的电影中被更多地使用。故选D.

【点评】本题考点涉及细行理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅

读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息、，同时根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选

出正确答案。

为和平奖通常会由政治家、组织及活动家获得，而他们通常处在更多的公众监管之下。故

选A。

(3)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Duringthefirstyearafterthey'vewontheyoften
