Question

3．

Dear Aunt Tara， I have a problem with my homework．We have to do it in a group．It has to be finished this Friday，But Gary，the boy in our group，has done nothing helpful．He just keeps rocking the boat．Every time we talk about the work with him，he always says，"Don't worry．I'll do it later．"But he seldom does his job．And when he does，he does it the wrong way．Someone has to do it for him again．What's worse is when Ms．Lin asks about our group，Gary always tells her that we others don't work hard enough．I'm really mad at Gary about this．We're in the same group．Shouldn't we help each other to do a better job？ Kate

Dear Kate， It is important for students to learn how to work together in a group．Maybe you should talk to Gary about the problem and tell him you all need his help．If he still doesn't change，go and talk to your teacher．I believe she can make Gary do his job． Aunt Tara

分析 親愛的塔拉阿姨，我有一個家庭作業(yè)的問題，我們必須在一個小組完成，而且必須在這個星期五前完成，但我們組的一個男孩加里，沒有幫什么忙．他只是搗亂．每次我們與他一起談?wù)撟鳂I(yè)，他總是說，"不要擔(dān)心，我一會就做．"但他很少做他的工作．當(dāng)他做的時候，又做錯了．更糟糕的是當(dāng)林女士問我們組，加里總是告訴她，我們其他人不努力工作．我對此事真的很生氣．我們在同一組．我們不應(yīng)該互相幫助來更好地完成工作嗎？
親愛的凱特，重要的是讓學(xué)生學(xué)會如何在一個小組合作，也許你應(yīng)該和加里談?wù)勥@個問題，告訴他你們都需要他的幫助，如果他仍然沒有改變，去和你的老師談?wù)�，我相信她能讓加里做好他的工作．阿姨塔�?/p>

解答 54．答案D 語義猜測題 由文中 But Gary，the boy in our group，has done nothing helpful．He just keeps rocking the boat可知 但我們組的一個男孩加里，沒有幫什么忙．他只是…，聯(lián)系上下文，他不但不幫忙還搞破壞，所以應(yīng)該是搗亂，阻止事情進展順利在這里最為合適，故選D
55．答案C 語句理解題 由文中 What's worse is when Ms．Lin asks about our group，Gary always tells her that we others don't work hard enough．I'm really mad at Gary about this可知 更糟糕的是當(dāng)林女士問我們的組，加里總是告訴她，我們其他人不努力工作．我對此事真的很生氣，此事指的就是他總是說小組人的壞話，故選C
56．答案C 理解判斷題 由文中 What's worse is when Ms．Lin asks about our group 可知 更糟糕的是當(dāng)林女士問我們的組，可見林女士是班級負(fù)責(zé)人，后根據(jù)后文go and talk to your teacher．I believe she can make Gary do his job 去和你的老師談?wù)�，我相信她能讓加里做好他的工作，可知，林女士是他們的老師，故選C
57．答案D 文章理解題 由文中 Maybe you should talk to Gary about the problem and tell him you all need his help可知 也許你應(yīng)該和加里談?wù)勥@個問題，告訴他你們都需要他的幫助，凱特應(yīng)該讓加里知道她的感受，故選D

點評 本文有一定的難度，出現(xiàn)的都是判斷理解猜測類型的題，題目較難，不能直接從文中找出，要結(jié)合自己的思想來解答．所以應(yīng)當(dāng)先弄懂文章意思，再進一步解答．
