Question

　　Foulsham House is a fine, large house of the 1790s. It stands by the River Byer, in twenty-five hectares (公頃) of the best farmland in the southwest.

　　The house was built by Smithson, and the story goes back to George, the son of King of Whales, who fell in love with the beautiful Lady Kitty, at one of the first Foulsham's wild woods (野外) parties. Many years ago many great men rode on the hills about Foulsham House, and many fine girls took tea in the Green Room.

　　The house has eight bedrooms; three bathrooms (浴室), two living-rooms and a dining-mom with a real Adam fire-place. Its library has a good view over the park and the river. All rooms are light and airy, with good, high windows, and wood floors.

　　At the back of the house there is a room for four cars. The third Foulsham once kept horses there. In many other ways, this house of the 1790s meets the needs of the 1990s. If you wish to know more about Foulsham House, write to：Harvey. Platt, Longford & Sons 6, Castle Green, Gilham, Byreside.

Answer 1

答案：D;B;A;D;C
解析：

答案為：1．D;2．B;3．A;4．D;5．C 　　【解析】1．第一題既是對(duì)關(guān)鍵詞(house)的考查，也是對(duì)短文基本意思的理解考查。其一：Foulsham House占地25英畝，而不是房屋的面積為25英畝；這里要正確理解House(大寫)的含義是“莊園”！正確理解這一點(diǎn)對(duì)后面全文的理解有著十分重要的意義。正確的答案來(lái)自第一句話的“十七世紀(jì)九十年代”(到短文最后的：十九世紀(jì)九十代)一共有200年。2．這是對(duì)文字和句子表層意思的理解，在這里great=important；“Many great men rode on the hills about Foulsham House．”既然大人物在Foulsham House，高貴的女士(fine girls)在莊園內(nèi)(Green Roon)內(nèi)飲茶，就表明他們?nèi)ミ^(guò)了Foulsham House。3．本題既是對(duì)猜詞的考查，也是對(duì)猜句意的考查！因此，這里需要通過(guò)上下文來(lái)對(duì)句子意思作出正確判斷和理解。上文中出現(xiàn)了：It stands by the River Byer.這就表明Foulsham House位于Byer河畔，可以理解為：“從藏書室可以看到(或面對(duì))河畔”；而選項(xiàng)A的含義是：從藏書室可以清晰地看到公園和河流！正合題意。4．這是對(duì)詞和詞組的考查。behind the house可以理解為at the back of the house; some理解為a(因?yàn)閟ome后面接一個(gè)單數(shù)名詞parking)；parking的意思是：a room for four cars(停車處)。5．這是考查對(duì)全文中心意思的判斷或者說(shuō)是推測(cè)！本文對(duì)Foulsham House做了一番詳盡的說(shuō)明：位置、歷史、風(fēng)景、配置等，尤其是最后一句：“十八世紀(jì)九十年代的莊園可以滿足二十世紀(jì)九十年代的需求�！边@里一再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)它的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和好處，目的只有一個(gè)：出售！通過(guò)對(duì)全文的正確理解，我們就會(huì)明白一個(gè)道理：一篇文章總有一個(gè)中心內(nèi)容！正確地理解它，再去分析每個(gè)句子和詞的含義，就可以完全理解閱讀題！
