Question

【題目】 I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father’s words for the seasons were “Spring. Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.

When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “Fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there.

Grandma was always happy to look after them.

Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.

To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the fair. One day, when I came back from school. Grandma, with a big smile on her face, told me her two nieces(侄女) would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily, “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”

I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful” and helpful.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了作者的小鎮(zhèn)上以前總會辦集市，在集市時期，祖母總是繁忙又快樂，因為親戚們都喜歡來吃她做的食物；隨著大家漸漸搬到大城市，集市也不辦了，祖母變得很不開心。多年后，集市再次開辦，祖母又開心起來，因為她享受成為被別人需要的人。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn，可知新罕布什爾州的集市是在每年的秋天舉辦，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things，可知人們是來買東西和賣東西的，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful” and helpful，可知祖母想成為“有用”的人，所以她怕沒人需要她，故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word，可知祖母不開心,整天只是待在家不說一句話，C選項表述錯誤，故選C。

【5】最佳標(biāo)題。通讀全文，可知文章主要圍繞著集市活動展開，敘述了人們在此期間的活動，祖母的心情如何受其影響等，故選A。

閱讀理解一般考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解能力、主旨理解能力和推理判斷能力等。做閱讀理解題，首先要準(zhǔn)確理解題意，然后根據(jù)題意和短文內(nèi)容選出正確的答案。如題1，考查細(xì)節(jié)理解能力，此類型題較簡單，準(zhǔn)確理解題意后，直接到文中找出答案，根據(jù)At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn，可知是在每年的秋天舉辦，故選C。又如題3，考查推理判斷能力，做這種題型時，要根據(jù)已有信息進(jìn)行推理或判斷，根據(jù)I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful” and helpful，可知祖母想成為“有用”的人，所以她怕沒人需要她，故選C。
