考点规范练24(必修5Unit4)Ⅰ.【解题导语】本文是记叙文。罗伯特·迈克尔·利普斯特不仅是一名体育记者,还是一名作家,他写了很多青少年读物。1.C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lipsyte’sfatherwasaschoolheadteacher,hismotherateacher.”可知,利普斯特来自书香门第。2.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...wenttoonlyonemoregame‘asapayingcustomer’.”可知,利普斯特第二次参与美国职业棒球大联盟比赛是作为观众,买票观赛。3.C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...BobbyMarks...isoverweightanddoessomethingaboutit.In1952,Lipsyte...lostfortypounds,riddinghimselfoftheyouthfulreputationforbeingfat.”可知,鲍比·马克斯和青少年时期的利普斯特都受肥胖困扰,并积极解决了这个问题。4.B细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“TheMargaretA.EdwardsAward...recognizesanauthorandaspecificbodyofhisorherworkfor‘significantandlastingcontributiontoyoungadultliterature’.”及利普斯特的表彰词“Lipsyte’sbooksfocusonthesearchforself-definitionbyyoungadults.”可知,利普斯特获奖是因为他写的青少年读物对青少年产生了深远影响。【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“便士报”产生的背景及其发展的艰难过程。5.B细节理解题。根据第一段的第四、五句“Inaddition,mostnewspapershadlittleinthemthatwouldappealtoamassaudience.Theyweredullandvisuallyforbidding.”可知,当时的报纸枯燥无味,没有吸引力。6.C推理判断题。根据第二段的“...papersmadewidelyavailabletothepublic.”和“...thatcouldbeboughtinsinglecopiesonthestreet.”可知,街头销售能让报纸有更多的读者。7.B细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句“Thisnewtrendofnewspapersfor‘themanonthestreet’didnotbeginwell.”中提到的“themanonthestreet”可知,报纸的目标读者是普通人。8.A推理判断题。最后一段中提到“早期的一些企业是直接失败的。那些拥有成功报纸的出版商几乎不想改变传统。一些年轻大胆的商人才把这件事情推动起来。”由此推测,便士报的推动过程比较艰难。Ⅱ.【解题导语】本文是总分结构,介绍了应如何进行街道采访。作者针对采访要提问的问题、采访的时间、采访的人数、采访的方式等
