    Bernice Gallego sat down one day this summer, as she does pretty much every day,and began listing
    items on eBay. She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card. She stopped for a moment and
    admired the picture. "Red Stocking B. B. Club of Cincinnatti," the card read, under the reddish brown
    color photo of ten men with their socks pulled up to their knees.
    As a collector and seller, it's her job to spot old items that might have value today. It's what Bernice,
    72, and her husband, Al Gallego, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique store.
    This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay. She took a picture, wrote a description and put it
    up for auction.She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an
    extra 20 cents. Later that night she got a few odd inquiries---someone wanting to know whether the
    card was real, someone wanting her to end the caution and sell him the card immediately.
    The card is actually 139 years old. Sports card collectors call the find "extremely rare" and estimate
    the card couldfetchfive, or perhaps, six figures at caution.
    Just like that, Bernice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story. "I didn't even
    know baseball existed that far back," Gallego says, "I don't think that I've ever been to a baseball game."
    The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back. It is not uncommon
    in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200.
    When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was-an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnatti Red Stocking.
    "When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I
    almost fainted," Mirigian says. " They've uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to
    imagine. That card is history. It's like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso."

    1.What can we conclude from paragraph 3?
    A. Bernice had to pay some fees for her card on eBay.
    B. Bernice wanted to end the caution that night.
    C. Bernice decided to sell the card for $15.
    D. EBay charged her 20 cents for the card.

    2. The underlined word "fetch" in paragraph 4 most probably means "_______".
    A. go and bring
    B. add up to
    C. go down to
    D. be sold for

    3. From the passage we may learn that _______.
    A. Bernice is a baseball fan
    B. Bernice is the last person to purchase the rare-baseball card
    C. Bernice unexpectedly became the owner of the rare-baseball card
    D. Bernice didn't realize the value of the card until she put it up for auction

    4.What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. A Surprisingly Valuable Discovery
    B. The History of the Baseball Card
    C. Bernice Gallego-A lucky collector
    D. Sports Card Collectors

  • 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。
