日常生活類閱讀，"白馬威士忌"酒吧門上一匹白馬的畫，有一天一個(gè)陌生人進(jìn)來了，喝了點(diǎn)東西，然后對(duì)Webster先生說："把白馬的畫取下來，然后掛一匹黑馬的畫。"次日，一張黑色的馬代替了白色的馬。開門后不久，一個(gè)男人走了進(jìn)來，說你們的圖片和名字不符．"然后坐下來，喝了一些東西．接著很多人進(jìn)來都說的圖片和名字不符。

【1】推理判斷題，由文中 A lot of people came in and said，"The picture on your door is wrong．"and they all stopped and drank in Mr．Webster's bar．可知 很多人說，"你的門上個(gè)照片是錯(cuò)誤的，"他們都停下來，在韋伯斯特先生的酒吧喝東西，所以他讓韋伯斯特?fù)Q照片因?yàn)樗�知道這樣能成功招攬顧客，顧客會(huì)進(jìn)來對(duì)圖指指點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，故選D。

【2】推理判斷題，由文中"But the name of the bar is‘The White Horse'．"Mr．Webster said．可知"但酒吧的名字是"白馬威士忌，"韋伯斯特先生說，可見他并沒有一開始想著去換這個(gè)圖，故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由文中"There's a mistake on the door of your bar，and the picture is different from the name．"The man looked，sat down and drank something．Then another man came in and said the same，and then another and another．A lot of people came in and said，"The picture on your door is wrong．"可知，"你酒吧的門上有個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，圖片和名稱不符．"那人看了，坐下來，喝了一些東西．然后另一個(gè)男人走了進(jìn)來，說同樣的話，一個(gè)接一個(gè)而來．很多人說，"你的門上個(gè)照片是錯(cuò)誤的"故選D。

【4】推理判斷題，韋伯斯特先生聽取了陌生人的意見，來往的人才絡(luò)繹不絕，可見陌生人比Webster先生聰明，一開始就知道這樣能招攬生意，故選A。

【5】文章主旨題，本文主要講述了韋伯斯特先生的酒吧沒有人來，有個(gè)陌生人指點(diǎn)他換個(gè)圖，他聽取了陌生人的意見，結(jié)果來的人絡(luò)繹不絕，所以這篇文章告訴我們要是遇到困難，可以聽取別人的意見，故選B。

（一）主旨題

主旨題主要考查學(xué)生對(duì)短文中心思想或作者意圖的掌握。做此類題時(shí)，應(yīng)通讀全文，理解文章大意，充分理解主題句的意義。短文往往圍繞主題句展開，主題句通常出現(xiàn)在短文第一句或最后一句。

（二）細(xì)節(jié)題

細(xì)節(jié)題是用來進(jìn)一步表達(dá)主題，體現(xiàn)中心思想的，往往針對(duì)短文某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)來設(shè)題。做此類題時(shí)，應(yīng)快速捕捉信息，可能是一些事例、數(shù)字等，閱讀時(shí)要有針對(duì)性。

（三）推斷題

推斷題就是根據(jù)某個(gè)事實(shí)推斷結(jié)論，主要考查學(xué)生的理解力和推斷力。這類推斷通常包括：數(shù)據(jù)事實(shí)推斷、常識(shí)推斷以及作者的寫作目的、態(tài)度和傾向等的推斷。做此類題時(shí)，應(yīng)根據(jù)短文中的相關(guān)語句，對(duì)與事實(shí)有關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)加以分析，找出線索，悟出字里行間的意思，反復(fù)比較，從而作出合乎邏輯的判斷。

（四）猜測詞義題

猜測詞義題主要考查學(xué)生根據(jù)上下文正確判斷靈活變化的詞義能力。一般情況下，推斷詞義的題目中所出現(xiàn)的單詞，大多數(shù)是學(xué)生未曾見過的生詞，學(xué)生需要在該詞出現(xiàn)的上下文中去尋找線索。通過閱讀上下文，斷定該詞的真正含義，然后將這個(gè)釋義代入文中，檢查是否貼切，仔細(xì)比較直到得出該詞的確切的含義。

1.通過因果關(guān)系猜詞

通過因果關(guān)系猜詞，首先是找出生詞與上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，然后才能猜詞。有時(shí)文章借助關(guān)聯(lián)詞(如because，as，since，for，so，thus，asaresult，ofcourse，therefore等等)表示前因后果

2.通過同義詞和反義詞的關(guān)系猜詞

通過同義詞猜詞，一是要看由and或or連接的同義詞詞組，二是看在進(jìn)一步解釋的過程中使用的同義詞，通過反義詞猜詞，一是看表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞或副詞，如but，while，however等；二是看與not搭配的或表示否定意義的詞語

（五）正誤判斷題

正誤判斷題主要考查學(xué)生對(duì)文章的具體事實(shí)、信息的理解能力。一般是根據(jù)文章的事實(shí)或細(xì)節(jié)，給出一個(gè)句子，判斷其正誤。這類題比較直接，難度相對(duì)較小。做此類題時(shí)，應(yīng)先看題，后帶著“問題”快速閱讀短文，尋找所需要的信息。
