Question

【題目】A few years after I was born, a stranger appeared in our small town. Dad liked this attractive newcomer very much and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.

As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special position. Mom taught me how to tell good from bad, and Dad taught me to follow orders. But the stranger was our storyteller. He would keep us listening for hours with adventures, mysterious stories and comedies. If I wanted to know something about history or science, he always knew the answers. He knew about the past, understood the present and even seemed to be able to know what would happen in the future! With his help, my family even watched a national ball game for the first time.

Both my brothers and I enjoyed sitting around the stranger. He made us laugh; he made us cry, and he never stopped talking. Dad didn’t seem to mind. However , Mom thought he was too talkative. Sometimes she would go to the kitchen for peace and quietness.

My dad didn’t allow drinking, but the stranger encouraged us to try it. He also made us feel that smoking looked cool and manly. He talked freely (much too freely!).

Fifty years has passed since the stranger moved in and now I am fifty-four. I now know that my early childhood was strongly influenced by the stranger. Many times, he challenged the values of my parents, yet nobody stopped him or asked him to leave. What is his name? We just call him—”TV”. He has a younger sister now. We call her “computer”.

【解析】

這篇短文中作者給我們講述了從小伴隨他長大，給他講述了很多知識和故事，很大程度上影響了他的生活的一個“陌生人”—電視。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的最后What is his name? We just call him—”TV”.可知，作者在文章中所描述的這個“陌生人”是電視。故應(yīng)選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中Mom thought he was too talkative. Sometimes she would go to the kitchen for peace and quietness.可知，媽媽覺得“他”太健談了，所以有時候會躲到廚房里找安靜。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中Dad liked this attractive newcomer very much and soon invited him to live with our family.可知，是作者的爸爸把這個“陌生人”帶到了家里。由此可知應(yīng)選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的最后What is his name? We just call him—”TV”. He has a younger sister now. We call her “computer”.可知，這個“陌生人”的妹妹叫電腦。故應(yīng)選D。

【5】主旨大意題。這篇短文的開頭A few years after I was born, a stranger appeared in our small town可知，作者小時候這個陌生人就來到了他的家，然后一直伴隨他長大，故A選項的題目最能概括文章的大意，應(yīng)選A。

這篇短文作者一直用“陌生人”代指來到他們家的這個人，到文章的最后我們才知道這個人其實是電視。文章是記敘文，內(nèi)容貼近我們的日常生活，比較容易理解。題型有細(xì)節(jié)理解題和主旨大意題。細(xì)節(jié)題考查我們對文章某處事實信息的理解，答案常可以直接在原文找到，做題時，應(yīng)根據(jù)題目所問，定位到原文相關(guān)段落或語句，搜索信息作答。例如第1小題，這個題目的答案在文章的最后才告訴我們，根據(jù)What is his name? We just call him—”TV”.可知，作者在文章中所描述的這個“陌生人”是電視。故應(yīng)選C。第5小題是主旨大意，需要結(jié)合文章的整體意思與選項進(jìn)行選擇，根據(jù)短文的開頭A few years after I was born, a stranger appeared in our small town以及最后一段中I now know that my early childhood was strongly influenced by the stranger可知，作者小時候這個陌生人就來到了他的家，然后一直伴隨他長大，作者的童年時代受到了他的很大應(yīng)選，故A選項的題目最能概括文章的大意，應(yīng)選A。
