答案&解析
1. B)。此题是考查原因的细节题。表明事实后作者马上陈述了原因,即人们经常爱从性别的角度询问其工作的相关情况。故选B)。
2. A)。此题是考查指称的细节题。代词往往指代之前所提到的相关事物。前一句话里已经很清楚地说到engineering and the liberal arts。故选A)。
3. B)。此题是变相考查原因的细节题。文章用一个不定式表示原因,即to protect the Poconos’ natural beauty from irresponsible development。故选B)。
这一期我们来学习如何从整体上准确地把握记叙文体裁的文章。二、语篇的理解任何文章都有主题思想。考查主题思想也就是考查记叙文六要素中的what。试题一般不会考查时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who), 但是时间的先后、地点的转换以及人与人之间的关系等是大家必须要弄清楚的。这类题常见的提问方式如下:What do we learn (conclude) from the X paragraph? / We learn (conclude) from the passage that ____. / How did the author feel about X? / This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled “_____”.
从这些问题我们可以看出,考查语篇的理解可以从以下三个方面来进行:考查文章大意、考查作者的态度以及为文章选个题目。
1. 文章大意大家要注意的是,试题有时考查的是整篇文章的大意,有时是某一段落的大意。在说明文和议论文中,往往在段落或文章的开头或结尾部分有表明文章中心思想的主题句,但是记叙文就不一定了。记叙文的中心思想往往需要考生自己去理解和概括。这种理解既不能太笼统,也不能太具体,因为主旨题的干扰项有三种:第一种是概括范围太窄,只表达局部信息或某一细节;第二种是概括范围太宽,所表达的内容超出了文章叙述的内容;第三种是文章中未提到的或无依据的信息。下面我们以2007年12月四级真题A卷中第二篇深度阅读的第一题为例,看看如何做这类题。
In this age of Internet chat, video games and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories.

Q: What do we learn from the first paragraph?
A) Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.
B) Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.
C) Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.
