Question

【題目】 Mr. Scott talked about colours all the time. "What a honey-yellow morning it is!" he said to his wife. His wife planted fruit and vegetables in their garden, but Mr. Scott was more interested in the leafy plants, the bushes, and even the grass that grew in the garden. "So many kinds of green," he said to her after watering all the plants. "I counted at least twenty shades of green!"

"Well done, dear," Mrs. Scott said. "Now would you please count twenty dollars and go to the supermarket for some ingredients (配料)? I want to make lunch!"

With a smile on his face, Mr. Scott left at once. He enjoyed trips to the supermarket because of all the colourful cans and boxes in it. Fruit and vegetables, too, shone in their bright skins. There was never just one colour: carrots were orange, but also had bits of yellow and brown in them. Bananas were yellow and black; apples hid oranges and purples inside their reds. Mr. Scott would walk through the supermarket and enjoy all the colours around him.

"I wish there was a store full of colours that I could spend all my time in." he sighed.

He bought everything on his wife's list and came home. When he walked into the house, Mrs. Scott noticed the sad look on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked him. "It looks like you had fun at the store. I can see that you picked out the best things."

"I did have fun in the store. So much that I wish I could have spent more time there. It's so full of colours! " Mr. Scott said.

"I see," Mrs. Scott said. "Well, cheer up, because I'm going to cook a nice lunch for us!"

The next day Mr. Scott was on his usual morning walk through the neighbourhood, saying hello to everyone, enjoying the colours of the trees and flowers. It was another day of colours!

"Good morning, Mr. Brown," he called out to one of his neighbours. He liked Mr. Brown very much, because, well, you guessed it: his name was a colour!

"Mr. Scott! Just the person I wanted to see!" Mr. Brown replied. "My wife and I are moving out of this town, and I need someone to take over my shop. You are the perfect person for the job because it's a paint shop! I need someone who knows its colours. Would you be interested?"

Mr. Scott was mad with excitement. "I will take it over right away!"

Mr. Brown was relieved when he left town, because he knew his paint shop was in good hands. Sure enough, Mr. Scott kept the paint shop open for twenty more years and got to talk about colours all day, every day.

文章敘述了酷愛各種色彩的Scott先生的故事。生活中各種樹木、花草、蔬菜、超市陳列的物品的顏色都是他深深癡迷的，甚至以顏色為姓氏的人都使他身心愉悅。最終Scott先生如愿以償，接手了Brown先生的油漆店，經(jīng)營了20多年，每天都可以談?wù)撝�各種顏色。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段至第六段推測可知，他回家不開心的原因是不想離開超市里面的五顏六色的物品。故答案選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段未句“He liked.…colour!”可知他喜歡Brown先生的原因是他的姓就是一種顏色，brown意思是“褐色的”。故答案選D。

【3】詞句猜測題。畫線單詞下文“…because he knew his paint shop was in good hands.”（因?yàn)樗�知道他的油漆店落到了可靠的人手里）提示該詞意為“寬慰”。故答案選A。

【4】最佳標(biāo)題題。短文所有的故事都是圍繞著Scott先生酷愛各種顏色來進(jìn)行，故B項(xiàng)“一個(gè)熱愛色彩的人”最適合作短文標(biāo)題。故答案為B。

這是一篇記敘文，主人公斯科特先生酷愛各種色彩，短文介紹了有關(guān)他的幾件趣事�？疾榈念}型是閱讀理解。題目設(shè)置有細(xì)節(jié)理解題、推理判斷題、詞句猜測題，和最佳標(biāo)題題。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先通讀短文了解大意，根據(jù)題目所問鎖定文章相關(guān)段落或語句，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)作答。例如第3小題是考查詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文中的句子“…because he knew his paint shop was in good hands.”可知，當(dāng)布朗先生知道他的油漆店落到了可靠的人手里，油漆店經(jīng)營得很好時(shí)，他感到非常寬慰，故答案為A。再如第4小題標(biāo)題歸納題也是閱讀理解中常見的一個(gè)題型，一般針對某一語段或某一語篇的主題標(biāo)題或目的設(shè)題。短文開頭提到“Mr. Scott talked about colours all the time” 然后緊緊圍繞著Scott先生酷愛各種顏色來進(jìn)行介紹。符合用“熱愛色彩的人”作為文章的標(biāo)題。
