He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out， exploring the best ways to report it.

What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks？
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.

解析：此题属细节题，定位方式为同义定位法。题干中的talks和文章中conversations对应，而want most和longs for对应，这样不难得出答案为D。
小结：在阅读中，精准快速的定位加上正确的理解力才能保证做题的量与质。定位法是需要在做题的过程中有意识的培养的，做题的技巧也是可以总结的，关键是要自觉培养这种分析归纳和总结的意识以及能力。

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way， not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We're moving house.'； “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted
her， but what could we have done？ She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house？ （2010年高考英语北京A篇）
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.
解析：由题目得知：是考察作者的态度题。首先定位到文章作者的话语和行为，即
（1） No way could I have sent her away. No way， not me anyway.
（2） We never really wanted her， but what could we have done？ She was a present.“
（3） People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

3、主旨大意题解题技巧
Topic/Title型-使用逆推法
（1） 要在阅读原文基础上，仔细考虑选项是否与文章主题有密切联系
（2） 再看选项对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何
（3） 要注意题目是否过大或者过小
（4） 要避免下列三种错误
概括不够（多表现为部分代整体，导致范围过小）
过度概括（多表现为扩大范围）
以事实、细节代替抽象概括的大意。
Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert （警报） system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have been popular in recent years， particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association， CTIA， estimates（估计） more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act， a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission （FCC） with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before， and during， disasters and other emergencies，” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said， following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers -telecommunications companies is voluntary， but it has received support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages， according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president， likely involving a natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats”， which could include natural disasters like
hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be for child abduction （绑架） emergencies， or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.（ 2008年高考英语山东卷B篇）
66. Which of the following would be the best title for the text？
A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students
B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry
C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters
D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon
解析：D。主旨大意题。第一段开门见山，提出将创建一个全国性的短信警报系统；最后一段重申主题，对这种新系统的未来进行展望。因此最准确的标题是D。A项错在protecting students；B项错在by wireless industry；C项错在National Disasters。
4、词义句意题解题技巧
要求考生通过阅读上下文，结合中学生应有的赏识来推测尚不熟悉的词或者词组的意思。出现特征：划线或者引号
解题方法之一：根据上下文，往往是本句中的同位关系进行猜测。
Weeks later， standing before this unfriendly mass， I was totally lost. Oh well， I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk， burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report， it all became clear， “My report is on George Washington， the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite！ How could I know that she meant that George Washington？
62. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.（2012年北京，B篇，62，答案D）
A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager
解析：从burning这个词来说，意为“发热的，强烈的，燃烧的”，后面紧跟动词词组“find out”说明在寻找时刻的心情是很紧张和急迫的，最后是一个宾语从句，是我曾经做错过什么，那么这个题目显然就是选择和“渴望的，热切的”词义，显然为D选项。
5、结构顺序题解题技巧
常见提问方式：
How is the passage organized？
Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？
The author develops the passage mainly by?.
解题思路：
（1） 注意主题段。主题段通常在文章的开头，简要概括文章的中心思想，
（2） 找出或者总结每段的主题句。主题句可能在段落的开头，也可能出现在段落的中间或末尾。如何确定主题句的方法见主旨题之main idea型。
（3） 最后根据每段主题确定段与段之间的结构关系，承上启下，使文章行文连贯，逻辑严密。为突出主题，作者可能采用不同的写作手法来组织文章，通过举例、比较、类比等手法来透彻阐明主题观点。
