什么是阅读理解考点

　　我举了四级阅读文章中的某些题目的一些例子在这里。

　　这两篇文章都是议论文

　　大家有没有发现，这两篇文章中多次出现should / must / can等词，这都是议论文的特征之一。

　　比如should就容易考作者建议题，作者观点题等。

　　希望各位同学能好好体会。

　　我最近在赶着两本书的稿子，无法有时间写的更详细，请谅解!

　　希望能抛砖引玉，各位同学也把自己研究真题的心得和大家分享。

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

　　Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

　　The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw in themselves.

　　Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting. Young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, Which can lead to burnout.

　　19. According to the passage parents and coaches should_____ .

　　A)pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

　　B)help children to win every game

　　C)train children to cope with stress

　　D)enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports

　　Passage Three

　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

　　Humanity uses a little less than half the water available worldwide. Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts are causing famine and distress in some areas, and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies. Since the worlds population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.

　　But that doesnt have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world-if we start valuing water more than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want.

　　Instead, for all uses except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.

　　Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigationwater in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions and pumping it to nearby cropland.

　　No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water policy.

　　23. According to the author, the water price should______ .

　　A)be reduced to the minimum

　　B)stimulate domestic demand

　　C)correspond to its real value

　　D)ake into account the occurrences of droughts

　　24. The author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to______ . A)build big lakes to store water

　　B)construct big pumping stations

　　C)build small and cheap irrigation systems

　　D)channel water from nearby rivers to cropland

　　25. In order to raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to______ .

　　A)guarantee full protection of the environment

　　B)centralize the management of water resources

　　C)increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levels

　　D)encourage local and regional of water resources
