Visit Swansea Zoo Come and see the Indian elephants and the new tigers from America. The bears are waiting to meet you, and the monkeys from China are waiting to throw things at you. The lovely dogs from Australia are waiting to laugh at you, and the giraffes from Zambia are waiting to look down on you.
Tickets Opening time Grown-ups: $ 3 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Children: Over 12:$2 except Friday Under 12: Free 10:00 am3:00 pm
( )1. How much does Mr Smith have to pay if he visits the zoo with his sons of fourteen and ten?
A. $2.00 b. $5.00 C. $4.00 D. $3.00
( )2. Which of the following is the visiting time?
A. 8:30 am, Wed B. 9:30 am, Fri C. 3:00 pm, Sun D. 4:00 pm, Tue
做此类题一要抓住有关的数据,二要从众多的信息中找出那些有用的信息,三要抓住一些关键词。实际上,上述两题都可看作数据推算题,一题是算钱,另一题是算时间。
通过阅读我们发现布告中的所有数据都是有用的,那么关键词是:grown-ups, children, over 12, under 12, opening time, except Friday。第一题中Mr Smith是成人,须买3块钱的门票,他一个14岁的儿子需买2块钱的门票,另一个不满12岁的儿子可免票,所以Mr Smith先生需花5块钱,B是正确答案。第二题C是正确答案。
四. 主旨大意题
此类题型用以考查学生对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解。如:
What does the passage mainly talk about? What is the main idea of this passage? What does the writer want to tell us? What is the best title of this passage?
每一篇文章都有它的主题句,而每一个段落也各有主题句,它一般都用来表示一篇文章或一个段落的主旨大意。因此,找出文章和各段落的主题句(往往为第一句或最后一句)是解题的关键。抓住了主题句,文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。如:推理判断题哪一节中的例文我们给它起个什么标题好呢?我们在它后面再加上一段话:
One dollar for changing a new part sounds reasonable(合理的), but the $ 29,999 is exactly the value of wisdom and knowledge.
( )The best title for the passage should be ________ .
A. The Value of Knowledge B. Helpless Workers C. The Expensive Machine D. The Lucky Factory
文中的最后一句是整篇文章的主题句,也就是文章的标题,即:The Value of Knowledge知识的价值,A为正确答案。 五. 经验常识题 此类题主要是考查中学生应有的多项综合知识,包括:社会、天文、史地、科普及生活常识等。此类题往往与文章没有直接关系,学生只能凭自己的常识进行判断,然后做出符合规律的正确选择。如:
( )We can guess when a giraffe sees a tiger ______ .
A. it will run away as fast as possible B. it will run to eat the tiger C. it will make the tiger bring it something to eat D. it will make one of the smallest
animals bring the tiger something to eat
