    When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild
    animals. The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was
    a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.
    The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I'd owned
    was sold to pay debts that I didn't even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my
    parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. I'd lost everything except my four teenage
    children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was
    crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.
    I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone
    on the beach, I saw the red orange lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to
    live my imagination!
    The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I'loved. I hadn't painted a
    picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But
    before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front of me. And as
    soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1 500.
    The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins,
    watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口边缘) of the volcano. We wake up every morning
    with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality.
    I'm living freely and happily ever after.
    1. Why did the writer go to Hawaii?
    A. To make a living.
    B. To spend her holiday.
    C. To free herself from trouble.
    D. To realize her childhood dream.
    2. Which of the following is the writer's dream?
    A. Get close to wildlife.
    B. Live a free and happy life.
    C. Live in nature with animals.
    D. Become a successful painter.
    3. We can infer from the passage that _____.
    A. the writer had never done painting before
    B. the writer's parents encouraged her to divorce
    C. the writer's husband took away most of her money
    D. the writer wasn't sure whether she could survive in Hawaii at first

日常生活类阅读

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。
  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
