【3】A

【4】C

【5】C

【解析】

本文敘述了大衛(wèi)退休后為了安靜在海邊買了一座房子，因為他的房子很有趣，引起了許多游人的觀看，于是他就寫了一個告示來看房者需拿錢20元，結(jié)果看得人卻更多了，因此他沒有辦法不得不把房子賣掉了。

【1】詞意猜測題。A. go on working繼續(xù)工作；B. teach knowledge傳授知識；C. give up one’s work放棄工作。句子When Mr. David retired, he bought a small house in a village near the sea.的意思是：大衛(wèi)先生退休后，在海邊的一個村莊里買了一所小房子。因此retired是“退休”的意思。也就是放棄工作。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)He decided to drive the visitors away．可知他為了把游客趕走所以貼了一個告示，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)More and more visitors came and Mr. David had to spend every day showing them around his house可知更多的人對房子感興趣。故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)More and more visitors came 可知越來越多的人來看房子。故選C。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。由上文的句子More and more visitors came and Mr. David had to spend every day showing them around his house. 越來越多的客人來了，大衛(wèi)先生每天都要帶他們參觀他的房子。和后面的句子he said angrily. 他生氣地說。可知選項A/B不對；句子I came here to retire, not to work as a guide. 的意思是：我來這里是為了退休，不是為了當向?qū)�。符合語境。故選C。

用細節(jié)定位法來做細節(jié)理解題。

細節(jié)理解題屬直接解答性問題，是閱讀理解題中最簡單的一種，多數(shù)屬中低難度的送分題。但由于中考所占的比例很大，應(yīng)特別引起注意。

事實和細節(jié)題的命題特點是：把某詞語、某個句子或某具體事實用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表達，即同義改寫。解答這類題的竅門是：A)注意掌握英語的多種表達法；B）正確分析詞語在句中的作用；C）熟練運用英語的句型轉(zhuǎn)換；D）讀懂題干所提出的問題，并準確地找到文中涉及該問題的句子。

做細節(jié)題具體方法與步驟如下：

略讀材料,大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

按文章的體裁，作者寫作的組織模式及有關(guān)的信息詞，如for example，first，second…等預(yù)測應(yīng)該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實。

③ 將自己精力放在尋找你所需要的細節(jié)上，快速通篇跳讀，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形掃視，直到找到細節(jié)出處，待找到含細節(jié)句子時，放慢速度，仔細核對比較內(nèi)容，直至找到答案。
