Question

【題目】下面文章中有五處（第31-35題）需要添加首句。請(qǐng)從以下選項(xiàng)（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的首句。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)是多余選項(xiàng)。

Where you sit and how you fit

【1】 For more than seventy years, researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners. Where do you usually decide to sit? Have you ever really thought about the reasons for your decision?

【2】 But is this really true? Well, some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is fare away from the teacher and they don’t want to answer questions. At the back, students probably won’t speak much, but in big classrooms, it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit here often get lower grades on tests and exams. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice.

【3】 However, they like watching and listening rather than joining in. These students are usually also very good at taking notes. Next time you miss a class, borrow notes from someone who sits here. On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and thoughtful people. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning.

【4】 Then the statistics (統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)) say you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing, and cheerful people usually sit in the middle. They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams.

【5】 Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. The only problem with sitting here is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class. So, if you really want to hear what everyone says in class, choose a different place to sit.

A. You probably sit right at the front of the class if you’re longing for knowledge.

B. Research suggests that the seat you choose in the classroom says a lot about you and your personality.

C. Do you sit in the middle of the classroom?

D. This means it’s a good idea to sit in a different place every day.

E. People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy.

F. Students who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in class.

【解析】

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，學(xué)生們選擇在教室里坐在什么座位是與他們的個(gè)性有關(guān)的。這篇短文給我們?cè)敿?xì)介紹了選擇在教室后面、兩邊、中間以及前排的不同學(xué)生們的個(gè)性特點(diǎn)。

【1】根據(jù)下句話For more than seventy years, researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners.“七十多年來(lái)，研究人員和教師一直在研究學(xué)生選擇坐在教室里的位置與他作為學(xué)習(xí)者的身份之間的關(guān)系”，由此可知，這里提出座位與個(gè)性之間是有關(guān)系的，故應(yīng)選B，意為：研究表明，你在教室里選擇的座位能反映出你的個(gè)性。

【2】根據(jù)這一段短文中In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is fare away from the teacher and they don’t want to answer questions. At the back, students probably won’t speak much“害羞的學(xué)生經(jīng)常選擇后面的座位…在后面學(xué)生們可能不經(jīng)常說(shuō)話”等等可知，這一段介紹的是坐在后面的學(xué)生的個(gè)性，故應(yīng)選E，意為：人們經(jīng)常認(rèn)為坐在后面的學(xué)生是非常懶的。

【3】根據(jù)這一段中On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and thoughtful people.“坐在教室兩側(cè)的學(xué)生通常是謙虛的、有思想的”，由此可知，這一段介紹的是選擇坐在教室兩邊的學(xué)生們的特點(diǎn)，故應(yīng)選F，意為：坐在教室兩邊的學(xué)生通常對(duì)上課感興趣。

【4】根據(jù)這一段中Caring, outgoing, and cheerful people usually sit in the middle.可知，“有愛(ài)心、外向、快樂(lè)的人通常坐在中間”，由此可知，這一段介紹的是選擇坐在教室中間的學(xué)生們的個(gè)性和特點(diǎn)，故應(yīng)選C，意為：你坐在教室的中間嗎？

【5】根據(jù)這一段中Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says可知，坐在這個(gè)位置的學(xué)生通常想和老師討論問(wèn)題，他們想在最好的位置關(guān)注老師的一言一行，由此可推測(cè)這是教室里比較靠前的位置，離老師最近。故應(yīng)選A，意為：如果你渴望知識(shí)，你可能會(huì)坐在教室的前排。

這是一篇很有趣的文章，短文中介紹了學(xué)生們選擇坐在教室的什么位置是與他們的個(gè)性相關(guān)的。文章主旨明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，是總分的結(jié)構(gòu)，文意也比較容易理解。題型是為每一段選擇首句，后面有六個(gè)選項(xiàng)，有一個(gè)是多余的，增加了題目的難度。我們知道，每一段的首句常常是該段的中心句，因此做題時(shí)，應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀每一段的大意，尤其注意緊跟在空格后的那句；還可以注意在段中尋找關(guān)鍵詞。例如第1小題，根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)可知，這一段是“總”的一段，應(yīng)該提出話題，點(diǎn)明主旨，而這一段的首句又是該段的中心句，因此這里應(yīng)選擇點(diǎn)明文章中心的主旨句，結(jié)合文意可知，應(yīng)選擇B項(xiàng)。后面的2、3和4小題，都可以利用關(guān)鍵詞原則對(duì)應(yīng)找到答案。第5小題中沒(méi)有明顯的關(guān)鍵詞，但根據(jù)Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says可推測(cè)這是離老師最近的位置，即教室的前排，故應(yīng)選A。
