【解析】

這篇文章主要介紹了Katy 8個(gè)月前離開(kāi)學(xué)校，即將上大學(xué)。她喜愛(ài)旅行，決定在上大學(xué)前去參觀亞洲。她在尼泊爾的一個(gè)小學(xué)校里教孩童學(xué)寫(xiě)作、語(yǔ)法、美術(shù)。她打算去參觀更多的亞洲國(guó)家。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)She has learnt a lot about the country since she arrived 4 months ago.句意：自從她4個(gè)月前到達(dá)尼泊爾，她已經(jīng)對(duì)這個(gè)國(guó)家了解了很多。由此可知，她去那是為了了解這個(gè)國(guó)家。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)The family has two children but many uncles and cousins live with them in their big house. They have taken Katy to many parties.句意：這戶人家有兩個(gè)孩子，但是很多叔叔表兄弟姐妹和他們一起住在他們的大房子里。他們把Katy帶到很多晚會(huì)上去。由此看出他們很友好�？芍獞�(yīng)選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)She has learnt a lot about the country since she arrived 4 months ago.句意：自從她4個(gè)月前到達(dá)尼泊爾，她已經(jīng)對(duì)這個(gè)國(guó)家了解了很多�？芍�她在尼泊爾已經(jīng)有四個(gè)月了。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)All the classes are in English and the pupils have spoken English since the age of six. 句意：所有的課都是用英語(yǔ)的，學(xué)生從6歲開(kāi)始說(shuō)英語(yǔ)�？芍�他們6歲開(kāi)始學(xué)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。故選B。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)She loves traveling and decides to visit Asia before she goes to university.句意：她熱愛(ài)旅行，決定在上大學(xué)前去參觀亞洲�？芍獞�(yīng)選A。

做閱讀理解的第一步就是要通讀題干。注意審題，關(guān)注語(yǔ)境，根據(jù)上下文推斷。

例如本題的2小題，答案They are friendly.并沒(méi)有在文中準(zhǔn)確提出，但是可以根據(jù)上下文他們都住在一起，并且會(huì)帶她去晚會(huì)推斷出來(lái)。

梳理文章脈絡(luò)能夠幫助學(xué)生盡快了解文章主旨大意。不同類(lèi)型的閱讀材料，往往依據(jù)不同結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行寫(xiě)作。然后要注意內(nèi)容上的連貫性。

一篇文章動(dòng)輒運(yùn)用一兩千的詞匯，尤其是科普性文章中，包含了大量的生僻學(xué)術(shù)語(yǔ)，答題者不可能全部了解。因此，學(xué)會(huì)通過(guò)上下文之間的聯(lián)系進(jìn)行猜詞，是十分必要的。猜詞也要有選擇性的進(jìn)行，學(xué)生沒(méi)有必要遇到不會(huì)的詞語(yǔ)就暫停閱讀，花費(fèi)大量時(shí)間猜測(cè)。首先，可以進(jìn)行詞性分析，結(jié)合該詞在句子中的位置確定詞性。對(duì)于那些命名詞（例如科普文章中的一些學(xué)術(shù)名詞）和修飾作用的形容詞、副詞，可以根據(jù)情況忽略。重點(diǎn)猜測(cè)有實(shí)際意義的動(dòng)詞。
