It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few
41 .On their faces was confidence(信心).This was their
42 exam—then they would graduate and begin to work.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they
43 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt
44 and able to take control(控制)of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)
45 task, as the professor had said they could bring
46 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not
47 each other during the test.
48 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles
49 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed
50 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the
51 faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”
52 a hand was raised.“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished
53 .” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I
54 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are
55 many things about the
56 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common(普遍)in everyday
57 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all
58 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just
59 .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the
60 he taught.

本试题 “It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about th...” 主要考查您对 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。
