    I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would
    try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
    The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical
    passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can
    choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that
    would change.
    And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater
    looks great on you." "Oh, Tom, you noticed", she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me." We
    walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
    So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell
    museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?
    There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it
    today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. "What's the matter?" I asked her.
    "Tom," she said in a voice filled with sadness, "Do you know something I don't?"
    "What do you mean?"
    "Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me?
    Tom, you've been so good to me…

    1. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.

    A. with his family
    B. with Evelyn
    C. alone
    D. with his children

    D. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill

    3. The author says, "There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment." What does "one thing" refer to?                  
    A. He pra
    ised her sweater, which puzzled her.
    B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
    C. He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her.
    D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

  • 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。
