　　...

　　10．A.feelings

　　B．organs

　　C．skills

　　D．senses

　　[错解]　B

　　[错因分析]　做此题时，考生很容易忽视前文的特定语境。

　　[答案]　D　本文讲述的是Susan丧失了视力，即成了一个盲人，因此她丈夫教她依靠别的“感官”(senses)，尤其是听觉来判断事情。故选D。

　　[心得体会]

　　易错题二：忽视语篇情感

　　[例]　One afternoon, my son Adam asked me,

　　“Are all people the same even if they are different in color？”

　　I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I'Il explain, if you can just wait until we make a quick __1__(stop) at the grocery store.

　　I have something __2__ to show you. ”

　　At the grocery store, we __3___(bought) some apples—red, green and yellow ones.

　　your question.”I put one apple of each type on the table.Then I looked at Adam, who had a __5__ look on his face.

　　...

　　2．A.expressive

　　B．encouraging

　　C．informative

　　D．interesting

　　5．A.worried

　　B．satisfied

　　C．proud

　　D．curious

　　[错解]　2.A　5.B

　　[错因分析]　做第2题时，考生容易脱离作者所要表达的思想情感而主观臆断，认为所展示之物一般都是富有表现力的，从而误选expressive。informative也有很强的干扰性，由于此词比较生僻，往往让有些考生举棋不定，最终误选此项；做第5题时，由于作者即将回答孩子先前提出的问题，而此时考生已经明白作者想利用苹果加以阐释，并认为这是一个绝妙的想法，因而考生主观地认为孩子对这种方式感到非常“满意”，从而误选satisfied。

　　[答案]　2.D　5.D　根据上文作者回答问题的方法以及孩子的反应可知，作者有一些有趣的东西要展示给孩子。其实，孩子当时并不理解作者这样做的目的，所以很好奇。
