    Paul, the oracle octopus (神算章鱼), was given a replica (复制品) of the World Cup as a reward
    for his perfect eight-for-eight record in predicting the results of matches.
    The two-year-old octopus with possible supernatural powers turned into a worldwide celebrity for
    accurately predicting the German team's five World Cup wins as well as their two defeats. Paul also
    tippedSpain to beat Netherlands in the final.
    "We have had a lot of offers for Paul but he will definitely be staying with us and returning to his usual
    job-making children smile," Sea Life spokeswoman Tanja Munzig in Oberhausen said after presenting
    Pual with the World Cup replica.
    There's no rational(合理的)reasons why Paul always got it right. Bettors around the world made small
    fortunes based on Paul's guess, said Graham Sharpe, media relations director at William Hill in London. "I've seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this is the first time I've ever seen people making their picks
    based on what an octopus tells them. We had people coming in saying they didn't know how to place a
    bet but heard about this German octopus and wanted to bet with him. It's funny. But he kept getting it
    right." said Sharpe.
    Sharpe said that anyone who had placed a 10-pound accumulator bet(累计下注)on Paul's prediction
    from the start of the World Cup would have won 3,000 pounds($4,500)by the end of the tournament.
    Paul's home at Sea Life aquarium(水族馆)in Oberhausen has been crowded with visitors and media
    from across Europe. Many networks broadcast his predicting live. Many networks broadcast his picks
    live. Hundreds were on hand to watch the World Cup replica lowered into his tank on Monday, 12 July,
    2010.

    1. If a fan had placed a 200-pound accumulator bet on Paul's prediction, he would have won________
    during the tournament.

    A. $30,000
    B. $45,000
    C. $60,000
    D. $90,000

    2.The underlined word "tipped" in the 2nd paragraph probably means_____.

    A. ordered
    B. announced
    C. predicted
    D. helped

    3. From what Sharpe said we can learn that________.

    A. it's amazing for Paul to make more exact prediction than people
    B. octopus like Paul may all have the ability to predict exactly
    C. it's common for people to believe in sea life for prediction
    D. we'd better not bet with animals when we have trouble making our picks

  • 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。
