    Since my retirement (退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an
    artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying
    to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case,
    I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes (风景画) much influenced (影响) by Kernel and St. John for five
    years.
    For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as
    soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew
    Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves
    and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted
    landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors
    remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my painting at a number of art
    exhibitions.
    Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it
    is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said, "At seventy I can follow
    my heart's desire."
    1. What is the text mainly about?
    A. Learning to paint in later life.
    B. How to paint watercolors.
    C. An artist-turned teacher.

    2. The author started drawing again in 1995 because _____.
    A. he hoped to draw a picture of his father
    B. he couldn't stop missing his father
    C. he had more time after retirement
    D. he liked animals and landscapes
    3. We can infer from the text that the author _____.
    A. had been taught by Kernel and St. John
    B. painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 years
    C. believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolors
    D. started his retirement life at the age of seventy
    4. How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?
    A. Very enjoyable.
    B. A bit regretful.
    C. Rather busy.

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。
