　　Passage 1

　　限时：7分钟

　　体裁：说明文　题材：社会生活类　难度：中词数：332

　　Conflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn't always easy. The customers—some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session—are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论), slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels，’or ‘people think’，”Lehanne told them.“Say ‘I think，’‘Think me’．”

　　A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn't seem more un­French. But Lehanne's psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours, a fast­food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.

　　The city's “psychology cafes”， which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle­aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel. “There's a strong need in Paris for communication，” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn't exist，” she says. “If life weren't a battle, people wouldn't need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn't be France.

　　Passage 2

　　限时：6分钟

　　体裁：说明文　题材：社会生活类　难度：易词数：261

　　More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off”

　　between school and university. The gap­year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.

　　This year, 25, 310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS)．

　　That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well­planned year out are more

　　likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible，” he said.

　　But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term­time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods，” he said.

　　文章介绍越来越多的高中毕业生没有直接去上大学而是选择了间隔年，这样他们可以打工攒够费用上大学，将来能更好地适应大学生活。

　　★1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?

　　A．It is flexible in length.

　　B．It is a time for relaxation.

　　C．It is increasingly popular.

　　D．It is required by universities.

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第一段中的“More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university”和第三段中的“That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year”可推断，间隔年这种现象越来越普遍。]

　　2.According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year________.

　　A．are better prepared for college studies

　　B．know a lot more about their future jobs

　　C．are more likely to leave university in debt

　　D．have a better chance to enter top universities

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Students who take a well­planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible”可推知，选择间隔年的学生将来能够更好地适应大学生活。]

　　3.How does Owain James feel about the gap­year phenomenon?

　　A．He's puzzled.

　　B．He's worried.

　　C．He's surprised.

　　D．He's annoyed.

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。根据第四段的首句“But not everyone is happy”和下文内容可推断，Owain James认为间隔年现象从一个侧面反映了目前大学生上学压力大、费用高的现状，因此他感到担忧。]

　　4．What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?

　　A．Attend additional courses.

　　B．Make plans for the new term.

　　C．Earn money for their education.

　　D．Prepare for their graduate studies.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree”和最后一句可知，大多数学生会充分利用间隔年打工挣钱攒学费。]

　　1．originate n. 起源

　　2．academic adj. 学术的

　　3．responsible adj. 负责任的

　　1．put off 推迟

　　2．force sb. into doing sth. 强迫某人做某事

　　他肯定会在会议上出现的。

　　Passage 3

　　限时：7分钟

　　体裁：记叙文　题材：资讯报道　难度：难词数：356

　　A world­famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created

　　the world's first long­distance signing device (装置), the LongPen.

　　After many tiring book­signing tours from city to city, Atwood

　　thought there must be a better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Here's how it works: The author writes a personal

　　message and signature on a computer tablet (手写板)

　　using a special

　　pen. On the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a

　　regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams (网络摄像机) and computer screens.

　　Work

　　on the

　　LongPen began in Atwood's basement (地下室). At

　　first, they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be. The

　　device went through several versions, including one that actually had

　　smoke coming out of it. The

　　inventing finally

　　completed, test

　　runs

　　were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the

　　2006 London Book Fair. From here, Atwood conducted two

　　transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and

　　New York City.

　　The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it

　　copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other

　　potential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow

　　people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange

　　between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when

　　legal documents are used.

　　“It's really fun，” said the owner of a bookstore, who was present

　　for one of the test runs. “Obviously you can't shake hands with the

　　author, but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from

　　a regular book signing.”

　　The response to the invention hasn't been all favorable. Atwood

　　has received criticism from authors who think she's trying to end book

　　tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that you never

　　got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it.”

　　文章报道了加拿大当代著名女作家Margaret Atwood如何构思出远程签名的设备的经历。

　　1．Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?

　　A．To set up her own company.

　　B．To win herself greater popularity.

　　C．To write her books in a new way.

　　D．To make book signings less tiring.

　　答案　D'[推理判断题。由文章第二段第一句可知，经过许多次奔波于不同城市间的令人疲惫的巡回签名售书活动后，Atwood认为一定有一种更好的签售的办法。由此可推测，Atwood决定发明LongPen的目的就是让这种签售活动稍微轻松一点。故选择D项。]

　　★2.How does the LongPen work?

　　A．It copies the author's signature and prints it on a book.

　　B．It signs a book while receiving the author's signature.

　　C．The webcam sends the author's signature to another city.

　　D．The fan uses it to copy the author's signature himself.

　　答案　B'[推理判断题。由第二段第四、五句可知LongPen的工作原理：作者用一支专用笔在电脑的手写板上写上个人信息和签名，另一个城市的接收方用配备了常规笔的机器手臂在书上签名。故选择B项。]

　　3.What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?

　　A．It has been completed but not put into use.

　　B．The basement caught fire by accident.

　　C．Some versions failed before its test run.

　　D．The designers were well­prepared for the difficulty.

　　答案　C'[推理判断题。由第三段第三句“The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it.”可知，LongPen在获得成功之前经历过数次失败。故选择C项。]

　　4．How could the LongPen be used in the future?

　　A．To

　　draft legal documents.

　　B．To improve credit card security.

　　C．To keep a record of the author's ideas.

　　D．To allow author and fan to exchange videos.

　　答案　B [细节理解题。由第四段中“It has several other potential applications. It

　　could increase credit card security and...”可知，LongPen还有很多潜在的功能，比如说提高信用卡的安全性。故选择B项。]

　　5.What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?

　　A．Atwood doesn't mean to end book tours.

　　B．Critics think the LongPen is of little use.

　　C．Bookstore owners don't support the LongPen.

　　D．Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.

　　答案　A [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句Atwood所说的内容可推断出，她并没有打算结束她的巡回签名售书活动。故选择A项。]

　　1．expert n．/adj. 专家；擅长的，专业的

　　2．regular adj. 常规的，有规律的，普通的

　　3．launch vt. 发射；发起，发动

　　4．unique adj. 独特的，独一无二的

　　inventing finally

　　completed, test

　　runs

　　were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the

　　2006 London Book Fair.(独立主格结构)

　　译文：这项发明最终完成了，在渥太华进行了测试，LongPen正式在2006年伦敦书展上推出。

　　仿写：The_girl_staring_at_him,_he didn't know what to say.

　　Passage 4

　　限时：7分钟

　　体裁：说明文　题材：科普知识类　难度：中词数：304

　　Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could

　　determine whether you will perform well at your work.

　　A new study suggests that listening to music in the office

　　improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry,

　　proofreading and problem­solving.

　　In an office­based experiment, 88 percent of participants

　　were found to produce their most accurate work when listening

　　to music.

　　The study also found that 81 percent completed their

　　fastest work when music was played.

　　And it matters what type of music you listen to. For

　　instance, if you're doing your tax returns, then classical music

　　is the most effective as it improves maths skills.

　　Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve

　　your speed, with 58 percent of participants completing data

　　entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs.

　　During proofreading, dance music, such as David

　　GuettA s, had the biggest positive impact on participants

　　increasing their speed by 20 percent compared to tests

　　undertaken with no music at all.

　　Dance music also had a positive effect on spell­checking

　　with a 75 percent pass rate compared to 68 percent when no

　　music was played at all.

　　The research, undertaken by Brighton­based Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive.

　　“The

　　music experiment

　　showed that when listening to

　　music,

　　nine out of ten people performed better，” said Dr David Lewis,

　　chairman of Mindlab International.

　　“Proper music enables people to quickly process and keep

　　information, regulate their behavior,

　　make good choices, solve

　　problems, plan and adjust to changing mental demands，” a senior

　　investigator of Mindlab International explained.

　　“While many schools are cutting music programs and

　　spending more and more time on test preparations, our findings

　　suggest that musical training courses may actually help to set up

　　children for a better academic future，” added

　　Dr David Lewis.

　　研究表明，合适的音乐对工作效率的提高有着积极的作用。

　　1．What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A．The

　　positive relationship between music and work

　　efficiency.

　　B．The speed and accuracy of problem­solving tasks.

　　C．The comparison of different kinds of music.

　　D．The experiment on productivity of office staff.

　　答案　A [主旨大意题。根据第一段和第二段可知，合适的音乐有利于提高工作的效率，在办公室听音乐可以提高数据输入、校对及问题解决的速度及准确性，即音乐和工作效率之间的积极联系，故选A项。]

　　★2.According to the passage, we can conclude

　　that ________.

　　A．different kinds of music lead to the same effect

　　B．silent offices can make people perform better

　　C．listening to proper music can improve efficiency in offices

　　D．more tests prepare children for a better academic future

　　答案　C [推理判断题。根据第三、四段和第五段的第一句“And it

　　matters what type of music you listen to”可推知，工作效率的提高取决于听哪种类型的音乐，即合适的音乐有利于提高工作效率，故选C项。]

　　3.What is the author's attitude towards school music programs?

　　A．Respectful.

　　B．Doubtful.

　　C．Tolerant.

　　D．Supportive.

　　答案　D

　　[观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“our findings suggest that musical training courses may actually help to set up children for

　　a better academic future”可知，作者认为音乐培训课可以帮助学生处于更好的学业未来中，故对于学校的音乐课程，作者持支持的态度，选D项，supportive“支持的”。respectful“有礼貌的”；doubtful“不确定的，感到怀疑的”；tolerant“宽容的，容忍的”。]

　　1．accuracy n. 准确；精确

　　2．undertake vt. 承担；从事

　　3．perform vt. 执行；演奏

　　4．actually adv. 事实上

　　5．academic adj. 学术的；理论的

　　1．compared to 与……相比

　　2．have a positive effect on 对……有积极影响

　　3．adjust to 调整以适应……

　　原文：In an office­based experiment, 88 percent of participants

　　were found to produce their most accurate work when listening

　　to music.(状语从句中的省略)

　　译文：在对办公室人员的实验中，88%的参与者被发现在听音乐时能做最准确的工作。

　　仿写：Children, when_accompanied_by_their_parents,_are allowed to enter the stadium.

　　当孩子被其父母陪伴时，他们才被允许进入这个运动场。

　　Passage 5

　　限时：7分钟

　　体裁：记叙文　题材：社会生活类　难度：中词数：298

　　Instagram is containing so many photos of food—now a pop­up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.

　　I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop­up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the worlD

　　s first pay­by­photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

　　The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant Birds Eye,

　　who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction to

　　photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They

　　conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British

　　population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they

　　realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.

　　The pop­up diner was open in Soho, London for three

　　days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities.

　　They serve two­course meals that customers don't have to pay

　　for, if they photo and instagram it.

　　The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's “Food for Life” campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from every day to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling.

　　The reaction to

　　“The Picture House” has been great so far. And the pay­by­picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a café in Germany customers paid by how much time they spent

　　there, not by what they ate.

　　现在在餐馆里兴起了一种新的付款方式，那就是顾客将食物照片上传到Instagram上，就可以免费享受美食了。

　　★1.Instagram probably is________.

　　A．a restaurant free of charge

　　B．an application used to share photos

　　C．a new marketing project

　　D．a campaign of “Food for Life”

　　答案　B [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Instagram is containing so

　　many photos of food”及第二段中的“you order，click a photoof the food, share on Instagram and eat for free”可知，

　　Instagram可能是一个分享图片的应用程序。]

　　2.What's the author's attitude to this new trend?

　　A．Interested.

　　B．Opposed.

　　C．Confused.

　　D．Unconcerned.

　　答案　A [观点态度题。根据第二段的第一句“I always thought

　　people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop­up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too”

　　可知，作者对这种新潮流感兴趣。]

　　3.“The Picture House”encourages sharing photos of its foodto

　　________.

　　A．create a new social media trend

　　B．raise the price of frozen food

　　C．attract more customers

　　D．reward the regular customers

　　答案　C [推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“So they realized it

　　was a better way to advertise their new dining range”可推知，分享食物照片是一种更好的为新的餐饮系列做广告的方式，因此该餐馆鼓励顾客分享食物照片是为了吸引更多的顾客。]

　　4．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

　　A．No Need to Pay

　　B．The Pop­up Diner

　　C．Food for Life

　　D．Pay by Picture

　　答案　D

　　[标题判断题。本篇文章主要介绍了在一个饭店可以通过分享食物图片来付款，因此D项为最佳标题。]

　　1．addiction n. 上瘾；沉溺

　　2．advertise vt./vi. 为……做广告；登广告

　　3．campaign n. 战役；运动

　　4．concept n. 观念；概念

　　5．alternative adj. 供选择的；交替的

　　1．take advantage of 利用

　　2．come up with 提出；想出

　　3．show off 炫耀；卖弄

　　原文：They serve two­course meals that customers don't have to pay

　　for, if they photo and instagram it.(定语从句)

　　译文：如果顾客拍照并分享，他们就免费提供给顾客有两道菜的美餐。

　　仿写：We'll reach the sales targets in a month which/that_we_set_at _the_beginning_of_the_year.

　　一个月以后，我们将会达到年初所定的销售目标。

　　Passage 6

　　限时：7分钟

　　体裁：夹叙夹议文　题材：人物故事类　难度：难词数：363

　　Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, but I also had to deal with my parents' bitter divorce， a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.

　　When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn't eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.

　　Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn't care. I loved him beyond all reasons.

　　I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly “shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.

　　For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.

　　All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.

　　My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one.

　　Cowboy then flew over the second,

　　third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.

　　No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprising silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.

　　I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day.

　　At thirteen,

　　I realized that no matter what the odds are, I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my fate.

　　年仅13岁的作者承受着家庭的变故且失去了自己心爱的小马，她感到痛苦、孤独。后来，父亲又给她买了一匹马Cowboy，它虽长得丑却给作者带来了许多安慰。在一场比赛中作者明白：只要努力奋斗，每个人都可以主宰自己的命运。

　　★1.Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?

　　A．Because she loved horses more than anything else.

　　B．Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.

　　C．Because Cowboy had a lot in common with her pony.

　　D．Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion.

　　答案　D　[推理判断题。根据第一段可知，13岁的作者承受着家庭的变故；第二段中介绍作者失去棕色的小矮种马后的伤心与孤独，由此可推知，尽管父亲给她新买的马Cowboy很丑，她还是喜欢有它的陪伴，故选择D项。]

　　2.The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably because ________.

　　A．they didn't expect Cowboy would win the event

　　B．they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the event

　　C．they didn't like Cowboy, for it was too ugly

　　D．they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。根据第六段中的“One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons”和倒数第二段中的“The end of our run was met with surprising silence”可知，Becky夺冠是众望所归，所以当作者和其貌不扬的Cowboy获胜时，人们感到非常意外，一下都变得沉默了。]

　　3．After the competition, the author came to realize that ________.

　　A．she ought to gather the courage to solve all the problems

　　B．it was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy better

　　C．she needed to work harder to win more blue ribbons

　　D．she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enough

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“At thirteen, I realized

　　that no matter what the odds are,

　　I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my fate”可知，作者意识到自己通过足够的努力可以主宰自己的命运。]

　　4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A．all of their hard training was totally in vain

　　B．a blue ribbon must be the second highest prize

　　C．Cowboy lost in the events of being judged by appearance

　　D．both Becky and the author won the jumping event

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。第三段的第一句表示Cowboy是世界上最丑的马，结合第四段中的“When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly

　　‘shown the gate’”可知，在外形比赛中Cowboy输了。]

　　1．bitter adj. 痛苦的；尖刻的

　　2．ugly adj. 丑陋的

　　3．exhausted adj. 疲惫的；耗尽的

　　4．charge n．/vt. 充电；掌管；向前冲

　　5．gain v. 获得；赢得

　　1．all the time 始终；一直

　　2．without doubt 无疑地；确实地

　　3．meet with 偶遇，经历；遭受

　　原文：Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, but I also had to deal with my parents' bitter divorce. (倒装句)

　　译文：我不仅要适应身体上的改变，而且还不得不应对父母残酷的离婚。

　　仿写：As far as I'm concerned, I think not only should_we_do_ small_things_by_ourselves,_but also we ought to appeal to more people to do so.

　　就我个人而言，我认为不仅我们自己应做一些小事而且应呼吁更多的人来这么做。

　　易错题一：主观臆断，忽视逻辑

　　[例1]　...

　　We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie­camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on,

　　and a “strong wind”

　　blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.

　　The next scene was a complete contrast

　　(对比).

　　The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!

　　Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”！

　　Q：What would happen in the “three minutes”

　　mentioned in the last paragraph?

　　A．A new scene would be filmed.

　　B．More stars would act in the film.

　　C．The author would leave the studio.

　　D．The next scene would be prepared.

　　[错解]　D

　　[错因分析]　考生若不能把握文章的发展方向，只根据单个段落的内容来推测，很容易做错题目。

　　[答案]　A　推理判断题。根据题干“What would happen...in the

　　last

　　paragraph？”的内容可知，此题是要求猜测接下来可能发生的事情。根据选文第一段提到的拍摄寒冬的场景，第二段提到的拍摄沙滩的场景，以及最后一段中的“we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us”可知，他们不知道接下来为他们准备的是什么场景，但是在他们的一生中将会有足足三分钟的时间体验作为电影“明星”的兴奋经历。因此，可以推断此处是指要拍摄新的场景，故选A。

　　[例2]　...

　　In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009,

　　they announced that I was one of the winners.

　　I just couldn't believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

　　On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in

　　the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn't frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into？” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute (降落伞),

　　then

　　we just floated

　　downward for about

　　five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt － much better than the hot air balloon.

　　I was just enjoying it.

　　...

　　Q：How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?

　　A．Excited.

　　B．Scared.

　　C．Nervous. D．Regretful.

　　[错解]　B

　　[错因分析]　在本题中，有些考生会主观地认为，老人终于实现了跳伞的梦想，因此可能会感到激动(excited)，也有的考生认为人们第一次跳伞会很紧张(nervous)，从而推断作者很紧张或很害怕(scared)。这些都是主观臆断的结果。解此题要注意题干中的“immediately after she jumped out of the plane”问的是刚刚跳出飞机之后作者的感受，故应去原文中寻找描述作者刚刚跳出飞机时的那些文字，以作出正确的推断。

　　[答案]　D　根据文中的“When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.

　　For a second I thought, ‘What have I gotten myself into？’”以及上下文的逻辑关系可推知，作者在刚跳出飞机时因为风大，几乎不能呼吸，刚开始她觉得自己陷入一种困境，对自己跳伞有点儿后悔。

　　易错题二：断章取义，忽视语篇

　　[例]　You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,

　　this association, founded by

　　Bill

　　Drayton,

　　has

　　fought

　　poverty (贫困)

　　and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the worlD

　　s most promising “changemakers” seeking to solve(解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.

　　Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact, it is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.

　　...

　　Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

　　Q：The author's attitude towards AshokA s program can be described as ________.

　　A．changing

　　B．forgiving

　　C．cautious

　　D．positive

　　[错解]　C

　　[错因分析]　文章介绍了Bill Drayton创办的机构Ashoka，该机构旨在让每一个公民都成为changemaker。如果考生不通篇理解，只注意到文章的某些细节内容，可能误选A或C。

　　[答案]　D　文章对AshokA s program自始至终充满着赞赏之词，显然作者对此是持积极态度的。故选D。最后一段中的“Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be...”也有暗示。
