His cornet playing had a deep humanity(仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say,“Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.”He was the father of the jazz style(风格) and also one of the best-known and most-admired people in the world. His death, on July 6,1971,was headline news around the world.
Which would be the best title for the text? A．The Invention of the Jazz Music B．The Father of the Jazz Style C．The Making of a Musician D．The Spread of Popular Music
解析：这是一道标题选择题。这篇短文讲述了Armstrong成为爵士乐之父的过程以及他对音乐的巨大贡献。短文的最后一段中的“He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world.”点明了这篇短文的主题，所以最好的题目应该是：The Father of the Jazz Style
二. 细节题
针对这类试题，有时考生理解字面意思即可答题；有时则需要简单归纳、概括和推理才能答题。细节理解题在阅读理解中占的分量非常大。
正确答案的特点：与原文情节表达手法不同，但所表达的意思相同。 干扰选项的特点：1. 是原文信息，但与题目要求不符；
2. 符合常识，但不符合原文内容；
3. 与原文情节极为相似，只是在程度上有些变动； 4. 选项中所提供的信息部分正确，部分错误； 5. 在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反。

doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need”, but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor’s visit. The best part? This one is free. ?
48. What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor’s visits?
A. Take notes. B. Be with her. C. Buy medicine. D. Give her gifts. 解析：B。考查细节理解。根据Gift No.1中的第二句话“Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits”可知，当医生来访时，要陪伴在妈妈身边，故选B。 技巧点拨：寻读法即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。 干扰项特点：
做好细节题解题需要了解干扰项的如下特点：1. 是原文信息，但不是题目要求的内容；2. 符合常识，但不是文章内容；3. 与原文的内容及其相似，只是在某个细节处有些变动；4. 在意思上与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反；5. 部分正确，部分错误。 2、数字计算类：
数字计算题会出现在多种体裁的文章中，可能涉及年代、人物年龄、需付钱数等方面的数字计算。此类试题要求考生能根据阅读材料中给出的有关数字或信息、通过整理、运算得出正确结果。首先，考生要弄清各个数字之间的关系，选准要比较的数字；其次，要弄清单位换算方式，确定计算方法，快速解决问题。 【考题链接】

解析：C。考查数字计算。根据文中信息和第65题题干可知，此时银币的单价是$38.45, 再由“Note: $10s/h (shipping and handling) ”可知，每笔交易运费是$10，故购买6枚银币需付$240.7 ($38.45*6+$10=$240.7)。答案为C。
误区警示：做计算类阅读理解题时，一定要注意附加信息，该信息往往在小括号内，比较隐蔽。如文章中的“Note: $10s/h (shipping and handling) for each purchase”。 3. 排列顺序类
此类试题的考查形式是在选项中列举一些具体的事实，然后要求考生对这些事实进行排序。这就要求考生根据动作发生的时间顺序以及句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事实发生、发展的正确顺序。考生可以先找出最早的时间和事件，把他作为事件发生的具体点，然后使用排除法将范围一一缩小，从而快速地选出正确答案。这种题型难度较小，一般从阅读材料中可以直接找到答案，但是做这种题时考生容易出错，而且这种题比较耗时间。 【考题链接】
Fourteen is not an age at which you try to earn millions of dollars, But for a Bangalore boy, Suhas Gopinath, it was.
One day in August, 1999, Suhas, studying at the Air Force School in Hebbal, was surfing the Net at a cybercafé. He happened to hit an MSN source code. That made him decide to learn more about HTML and to design and set up his own website under the address of a US-based company, Network Solutions.
He kept updating his website, posting interesting things on it. This impressed Network Solutions and they invited him to attend a class on Web design and development.
7
His mom and uncle criticized him for not taking his education seriously, But gradually, his dad started encouraging him and even bought him a computer and Net connection. In fact, that was his first investment in the company.
On May 14, 2000, along with friends Clifford Leslie and Binay M. N, he founded his own website ---www.coolhindustani.com. He did not have the money to start, for his parents refused to give him a penny. So he wrote to Network Solutions Inc. in the US and they readily agreed.
In August, in the same year, he set up Globals Inc., a Web solutions and networking company, with a team of four. Now, he has 400 employees, more than 200 customers across the globe and offices in 11 countries, and he is worth over $ 100 million.
After finishing his high school education, he studied at Stanford University for two years. But Suhas says, “Education alone will not make a good professional.”
In which order did the following events happen?
a. Suhas was invited by Network Solutions to attend a class. b. Suhas set up his first website. c. Suhas set up Globals Inc.
d. Suhas went abroad for further education.
A. a-c-b-d B. b-a-d-c C. a-b-c-d D. b-a-c-d
解析:D。排列顺序题。从第二段可知 “b. Suhas set up his first website.”是最早发生的，从第三段可知 “ a. Suhas was invited by Network Solutions to attend a class.”是第二个发生的，从第五段的内容可知接下来是 “c. Suhas set up Globals Inc.”, 从第六段的内容可知 “d. Suhas went abroad for further education.”是最后发生的。故选D。
技巧点拨：首尾定位法。首先确定第一个和最后一个，然后逐步缩小范围。 难点速通：
难点一：快速准确找细节:
做细节理解题时，大多数考生易出现的问题是：1.准确率高，但阅读速度太慢，缺乏一定的快速阅读技巧；2. 阅读速度快但准确率低。要想快速准确做出此类试题，不必通篇细看文章，而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法，或略读，或跳读，快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句，仔细品味，比较对照，确定答案。也可以兼用排除法，将“无此细节”和“与此细节相反”的选项排除。

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview... 56. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A. He was out of work. B. He was bored with his job.
C. He wanted a higher position. D. he hoped to find a better boss. 解析：A。细节理解题。由文章第一段中的第一句话“but he lost his job a few months ago”可知，Jimmy 找工作是因为他失业了，故选A。 技巧点拨：细节题的正确选项有以下特征：
1. 对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。如把lose one’s job 换成了be out of work。 2. 词性或者语态有所变化。把原文中的一些变换一下词性，如把important 改成of importance;改变原文中句子的语态，如主动语态与被动语态的转换。 3. 语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。
8
4. 正话反说。把原文中的意思反过来表达成为正确答案。 难点二：根据相关提示确定信息
一些特殊的标点符号经常成为命题的题眼，因此考生应该熟练掌握这些标点符号的用法。比如逗号、冒号、破折号、引号以及问号等。冒号：解释说明或者高度概括。括号：起解释说明作用。破折号：两个破折号之间的内容往往充当插入语，起解释说明作用；一个破折号后面的内容通常表示解释说明或者高度概括，作用类似冒号。 考题链接：

Kenya
Kenya is the destination for those seeking an African experience. It has everything you might want to do. Generally volunteers in Kenya work in orphanages(孤儿院)or with local children living in slums(贫民窟).

It takes confidence to be a kid. Whether going to a new school or stepping up to bat for the first time, kids face a lot of uncharted territory.
Naturally, parents want to instill a can-do attitude in their kids so that they'll bravely take on new challenges and, over time, believe in themselves. While each child is a little different, parents can follow some general guidelines to build kids' confidence.
Self-confidence rises out of a sense of competence. In other words, kids develop confidence not because parents tell them they're great, but because of their
