                                                          When milk arrived on the doorstep
    When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our
    doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5yearold boy, I
    couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and
    gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
    Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on.If we needed to change
    our order, my mother would pen a note- "Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery" -and place it in
    the box along with the empty bottles.And then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般)appear.
    All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and
    their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that
    we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time
    taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
    There is sadly  no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,
    thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete(竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may
    just not have been practical to have a delivery  service.
    Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it
    home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I
    start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
    1. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.
    A. to show his magical power
    B. to pay for the delivery
    C. to satisfy his curiosity
    D. to please his mother
    2. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?
    A. He wanted to have tea there.
    B. He was a respectable person.
    C. He was treated as a family member.
    D. He was fully trusted by the family.
    3. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
    A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
    B. It has been driven out of the market.
    C. Its service is getting poor.
    D. It is forbidden by law.
    4. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
    A. He missed the good old days.
    B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.
    C. He needed it for his milk bottles.
    D. He planted flowers in it.

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。
