                                                   A few famous lefthanded persons
         Bill Gates
        
    Claiming the nation’s richest man among their number is a source of considerable pride for America’s
    society of southpaws (左撇子).In fact,the Microsoft titan (巨人) and philanthropist (慈善家) is one of a surprising number of U.S.business areas to be left-handed,including Henry Ford,John D.
    Rockefeller and former IBM head Lou Gerstner.But the club seems to be a guys-only fraternity(联谊会).Research suggests that while left-handed men tend to earn more than their right-handed
    colleagues,   there is no similar advantage for women.A study by the National Bureau of Economic
    Research floated the   idea that left-handed men favor “divergent” (发散性) thinking,a form of
    creativity in which the brain moves “from conventional knowledge into unexplored association”.Maybe
    that’s what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at least $570 billion.
        Oprah Winfrey
       
    The talk-show queen doesn’t need much more to set her apart from the rest.She has herestimated $2.7 billion fortune and a magic ability to sell books just by glancing at them,but she also has the
    distinction of being a member of the left-handed club.Men are more likely to be left-handed than
    women which makes Oprah more impressive.She’s “in good company”:other showbiz ladies of the southpaw persuasion include Whoopi Goldberg,Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie(her husband Brad Pitt is also a lefty).
         Napoleon Bonaparte
         Legend has it that Napoleon objected to the time-honored military practice of marching on the left
    side of the road with weapons at the ready in the right hand: it put lefties (左撇子) like him at a strategic
    disadvantage.Once in power,the story goes,the French emperor,whose queen,Josephine,was
    also a southpaw,ordered his armies to change sides.Civilians in countries he conquered had to do the
    same.Hence,it’s said that the rules of the road were born,which also explains why the British (who,
    along with the Prussians,defeated Napoleon at Waterloo) still drive on the left.
         Marie Curie
         Not only was atomic scientist Marie Curie left-handed,but she was the matriarch (女家长) of a
    whole family of accomplished,southpaw scientists.Curie,who discovered the principles of radioactivity
        and won two Nobel Prizes,was married to fellow lefty Pierre Curie,who was playing an important
    part in helping Marie’s atomic research and shared one of her Nobel awards.Historians believed their
    daughter,Irene,was also left-handed.Irene went on to win a Nobel Prize of her own with her
    husband,who,you guessed it,was also left-handed.Lefty scientists are hardly unusual.In addition to
    the Curie clan,Einstein,Newton and Alan Turing-founder of modern computer science were all left-
    handed as well.


    1.Through this passage,the author mainly wants to tell us that________.
    A.Bill Gates’s contribution to society is greater than Marie Curie
    B.Napoleon Bonaparte made the rules of the road in England
    C.Oprah Winfrey had nothing but $7 billion fortune at that time
    D.4 persons were not only successful but all left-handed
    2.According to the first paragraph,what maybe develop a net worth estimated at least $570 billion?

    A.Club of southpaw
    B.Woman advantage
    C.Divergent thinking
    D.Conventional knowledge.?


    3.What can we learn from the second paragraph
    A.Oprah Winfrey has a special ability to sell books only by glancing at them.
    B.Oprah Winfrey is completely different from other left-handed women.
    C.Oprah’s appearance makes her doubly impressive in the left-handed club.
    D.Oprah Winfrey and her husband are both southpaws.
    4.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
    A.Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife are both left-handed.
    B.Marie Curie and her husband are both left-handed.
    C.Irene,Marie Curie’s daughter,and her husband are left-handed.
    D.Brad Pitt’s wife,Julia Roberts,is also left-handed.
    5.The best general idea of the last paragraph is that________.
    A.not all scientists are left-handed
    B.lefty scientists are hardly common

人物传记类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 人物传记类阅读

人物传记类文章的文体特征:

人物传记是记叙文体的一种,主要描写某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长奋斗历程等,包含记叙文的时间、地点、人物、事件等要素。其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线,空间或逻辑线索贯穿文章始终,脉络清楚,可读性较强。


人物传记类文章的阅读策略和解题技巧:

1、把握文体特征,注意写作手法如前文所述,人物传记是记叙文体的一种,因此在阅读时要把握好时间、地点、人物和事件这四大要素。
其次,还应该注意人物传记类文章的结构多按时间顺序排列,一般采用倒叙的写作手法,有时也采用插叙和补叙等手段。弄清楚人物传记类文章的特征和写作手法,能帮助考生在阅读和回答问题时做到高效省时、准确无误。

2、抓住题干关键词,采用寻读的方法查找细节描述事实细节题是人物传记类文章的主要题型,一般常见以下几种类型:
(1)对号入座题:
这种题的答案一般在原文中可以直接找到,只要读懂文章,掌握文章中的事实,如时间、地点、事件等细节问题,就能选对正确答案。
(2)词义转换题:
这种题常常是原文有关词语和句子的转换,而不能在原文中直接找到。它要求考生能理解原文中某个短语或句子的含义,从而找到与答案意思相同的词语和句子。
(3)是非题:
该题型俗称“三缺一”题型,即题目四个选项中有三个符合文章内容,剩下一个不符合。题干多为:Which of the following isTRUE?或者三个不符合文章内容,剩下一个符合,题干多为:Which of the following…isNOTtrue?或All the following are true EXCEPT
(4)排序题:
这种题要求考生根据动作发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系,找出事件发生的正确顺序。可采用“首尾定位法”,即先找出第一个动作和最后一个动作,迅速缩小选择范围,从而快速选出正确答案。
(5)指代理解题:
一般是在人物或事物关系比较复杂的情况下使用的一种题型,所以理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。可采用“逻辑关系梳理法”,使人物或事件关系清晰条理。不管题型如何,在做事实细节题时,可采用比较实用的方法一有目的的阅读。在阅读时,首先看题目要求我们理解什么细节,找出关键词,然后以此为线索,运用寻读的技巧迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语。认真比较选项和文中细节的区别,在正确理解细节的前提下,确定最佳答案。这样一来,既提高了阅读的速度,又能确保答案的准确率。同时,建议阅读文章时把与答案相符的句子或短语用红线标示出来,标号注上是哪一题答案的相关句子,这样在检查时就不必重新阅读整篇文章了。
3、抽丝剥茧,推理判断深层含义推理判断题主要提问那些未曾在文中说明,但已特别暗示的内容,考查考生对文章的准确理解和判断。人物传记类文章常见的推理判断题型为:
(1)细节推断题:
要求考生根据语篇关系,推断具体细节,如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息,或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。
(2)因果推断题:
要求考生根据已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因。考生要准确掌握文章的内涵,理解文章的真正含义。
(3)人物性格、作者态度及观点判断题:
人物传记类文章中有些是考查考生对作者的主导思想、被描写人物的语气、言语中流露的情绪、性格倾向和作者或文中人物态度、观点等方面的理解题。推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上做出一定推论和判断,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。解答此类题时,要注意:
(1)吃透文章的字面意思,从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索,这是推理的前提和基础。
(2)对文字的表面信息进俐宅掘加工,由表及里,由浅入深。从具体到抽象,从特殊到一般,通过分析、综合、判断等进行符合逻辑的推理。不能就事论事,断章取义,以偏概全。
(3)基于文章内容,以文章提供的事实和线索为依据,立足已知,推断未知。不能主观臆想,凭空想象,随意揣测,更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。
(4)把握句、段之间的逻辑关系,了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调,揣摸作者的态度,摸准逻辑发展的方向,悟出作者的弦外之音。
(5)注意文中所用词句的感情色彩,是讽刺性的,批评性的,赞成性的,还是反对性的,以便推测作者的观点和态度。
