    You've just come home, after living abroad for a few years. Since you've been away, has this country
    changed for the better-or for the worse?
    If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday, small changes have probably surprised
    you-anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in
    your street moving house.
    So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living
    abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed-or now take for
    granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.
    Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle-class families-all very
    conservative(保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who
    come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.
    Having been animmigrant(移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I
    lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I'd think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have
    improved this country because they're more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.
    Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the
    differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into
    focus as soon as we landed.
    To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening-in Cyprus, they're very
    relaxed-and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some
    metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport
    car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by
    bank robbers.
    But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what
    they've got.
    1. After a short overseas holiday, people tend to _______.
    A. notice small changes
    B. expect small changes
    C. welcome small changes
    D. exaggerate small changes
    2. How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?
    A. Cautiously.
    B. Positively.
    C. Sceptically.
    D. Critically.
    3. When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by _______.
    A. the relaxed policemen
    B. the messy arrivals hall
    C. the tight security
    D. the bank robbers
    4. Which might be the best title for the passage?
    A. Life in Britain.
    B. Back in Britain.
    C. Britain in Future.
    D. Britain in Memory.

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。
