Question

【題目】 Andrew Holleman, a 12-year-old boy, loved playing in the open land near his home. The land was wet and forested, and made a home for the birds, other animals and many different plants. It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature.

Suddenly it was announced that the “empty” land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil（土壤）would be covered with extra grounds.

When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.

Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had done about the area, and how the houses would affect（影響）the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.

Andrew's teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment. Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign（簽名）, who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people. In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.

Andrew won many prizes for his brave and great work to stop the houses being built, and thus help save the environment.

【4】A

【解析】

這篇短文講述的是12歲的男孩Andrew非常喜歡在家附近的一塊空地上玩，那里有很多動(dòng)物和植物，是他學(xué)習(xí)自然的好地方。但是后來(lái)這塊空地上要蓋上房子，那樣的話，植物和動(dòng)物就沒(méi)有了。為了保護(hù)它們，保護(hù)環(huán)境，Andrew給政府和電視記者寫(xiě)信，并發(fā)動(dòng)鄰居們都來(lái)反對(duì)這件事，最后Andrew的努力沒(méi)有白費(fèi)，這塊空地被保留了下來(lái)。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文第三段“He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.”以及短文最后一段“Andrew won many prizes for his brave and great work to stop the houses being built, and thus help save the environment.”可知，這篇短文講述了12歲的Andrew為了保護(hù)環(huán)境，阻止在空地上蓋房子。A選項(xiàng)符合文意，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段“Andrew's teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment.”可知，Andrew受到了老師和同學(xué)們的表?yè)P(yáng)，B選項(xiàng)符合文意，故選B。根據(jù)“Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign”可知，每天放學(xué)后，Andrew都挨家挨戶的去讓人們簽名，但這并不是說(shuō)他擅長(zhǎng)這件事，故A不對(duì)；C選項(xiàng)在短文中并沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)；根據(jù)第四段“He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters.”可知D不對(duì)。故選B。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文意“Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had done about the area, and how the houses would affect（影響）the local environment.”可知，Andrew擔(dān)心在空地上蓋房子會(huì)影響當(dāng)?shù)氐沫h(huán)境。由此可見(jiàn)他是不同意這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的，所以這里表示“他號(hào)召鄰居們也來(lái)反對(duì)這個(gè)事情”。oppose意為“反對(duì)”，與disagree意思相近。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第五段“In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.”可知，最后，這塊地對(duì)于鳥(niǎo)類、動(dòng)物和植物來(lái)說(shuō)仍然是一個(gè)安全的地方，由此可知，這塊地被保留下來(lái)，蓋房子的計(jì)劃取消了。故選A。

這是一篇記敘文，短文介紹了為了保護(hù)環(huán)境，勇敢的Andrew號(hào)召鄰居們一起反對(duì)在一片空地上蓋房子，最后取得成功的事情。文章敘述清晰，主題明確，內(nèi)容比較容易理解。題型是閱讀理解，考查學(xué)生們閱讀短文獲取文章大意及細(xì)節(jié)信息、猜測(cè)生詞含義以及進(jìn)行合理的推測(cè)和判斷的能力。本題考查比較全面，涉及了推理判斷、詞義猜測(cè)和主旨大意，都屬于高層次的問(wèn)題。推理判斷題不僅要求考生讀懂文章中的每個(gè)句子的意思，還要推理它們之間的關(guān)系，結(jié)合自己的生活常識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)，再通過(guò)邏輯推理和判斷，理解文章的言外之意，從而揭示文章的深層涵義。如第4小題，這個(gè)題目并不是很難，學(xué)生們應(yīng)在原文第五段“In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.”和正確答案之間做一個(gè)理解轉(zhuǎn)換，這個(gè)題目有點(diǎn)像間接細(xì)節(jié)題。詞義猜測(cè)題應(yīng)注意將單詞置于語(yǔ)境中理解，把握文章的邏輯關(guān)系。主旨大意題應(yīng)結(jié)合文意，尤其注意短文的首段首尾句及尾段首尾句，一般主旨句會(huì)出現(xiàn)在這些地方。
