Question

【題目】Jerry wants to find a job in the city. One day, he sees an advertisement (廣告) on a window. It says, “Wanted: the best salesman (推銷員) in the world.”

Jerry wants the job, so he goes into the building and says to a manager (經(jīng)理), “I think I’m the best salesman in the world. Give me the job, please.” “You must prove (證明) you’re the best, my boy,” the manager says. “I’ll pass every test you give me,” Jerry says. “Good,” the manager says and takes some candies out of his desk. “Last week I bought 1,000 boxes of candies. If you can sell them all before the end of this week, you can have the job.” “That’s a piece of cake,” Jerry says.

Every day he goes from door to door and tries to sell the candies, but nobody buys them because they taste bad. At the end of the week, he goes back to the manager.

【解析】

Harry大學(xué)畢業(yè)想要找一個工作，一天他看到一個招聘銷售員的廣告便去應(yīng)聘。他看到經(jīng)理時告訴經(jīng)理："我是世界上最好的銷售員，請把工作給我。"經(jīng)理讓他必須證明自己，于是要求他在這周結(jié)束前賣出一千盒糖．Harry認(rèn)為任務(wù)很簡單，欣然接受了。但是由于糖的質(zhì)量太差他一個一個商店去賣這些糖別人都不買，這周結(jié)束時他回來找經(jīng)理，告訴他自己不是最好的銷售員，最好的銷售員是賣給經(jīng)理糖果的人。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干：經(jīng)理想要什么？由句子“Wanted: the best salesman (推銷員) in the world.”可知，本廣告是招聘世界上最好的推銷員。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干：杰瑞的測驗是什么？由句子Last week I bought 1,000 boxes of candies. If you can sell them all before the end of this week, you can have the job.可知，杰瑞的測驗是賣掉1000盒糖果。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。由句子“That’s a piece of cake,” Jerry says. 可知，剛開始，Jerry認(rèn)為賣掉糖果很簡單。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由句子Every day he goes from door to door and tries to sell the candies, but nobody buys them because they taste bad.可知，他每天都挨家挨戶地去賣糖果，但是沒有人買，因為糖果味道不好。故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。由短文的最后一段 “I’m sorry, sir,” he says. “I was wrong about myself. I’m not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is.” 可知，杰瑞最后沒有得到那份工作。故選D。

怎樣做細(xì)節(jié)理解題？

用細(xì)節(jié)定位法來做細(xì)節(jié)理解題。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題屬直接解答性問題，是閱讀理解題中最簡單的一種，多數(shù)屬中低難度的送分題。但由于中考所占的比例很大，應(yīng)特別引起注意。

事實和細(xì)節(jié)題的命題特點是：把某詞語、某個句子或某具體事實用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表達(dá)，即同義改寫。解答這類題的竅門是：A)注意掌握英語的多種表達(dá)法；B）正確分析詞語在句中的作用；C）熟練運(yùn)用英語的句型轉(zhuǎn)換；D）讀懂題干所提出的問題，并準(zhǔn)確地找到文中涉及該問題的句子。

做細(xì)節(jié)題具體方法與步驟如下：

略讀材料,大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

按文章的體裁，作者寫作的組織模式及有關(guān)的信息詞，如for example，first，second…等預(yù)測應(yīng)該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實。

③ 將自己精力放在尋找你所需要的細(xì)節(jié)上，快速通篇跳讀，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形掃視，直到找到細(xì)節(jié)出處，待找到含細(xì)節(jié)句子時，放慢速度，仔細(xì)核對比較內(nèi)容，直至找到答案。
