Question

【題目】Dear Marnie,

We have to do presentations (展示) for a test next week, and I'm really worried about it. The thing is, I get really nervous ( 緊張的) when I'm talking in front of people. The problem is, I'm usually a pretty good student at school, and my dad might be angry if I get bad grades. What should I do?

Dear Marnie,

Molly and Laura are both my good friends. The problem is that Laura and I share a lot of hobbies and we always go to the clubs together.

這篇短文是Andy，Jess和Karen寫給Marnie的信，他們在各自的生活中遇到了一些問題，想要向Marnie求助。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一封信中The thing is, I get really nervous ( 緊張的) when I'm talking in front of people.可知，Andy在人們面前講話的時候總是非常緊張，由此可知，他是一個比較害羞、內(nèi)向的人。故應(yīng)選A。lazy懶惰的；serious嚴肅的；creative有創(chuàng)造力的。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二封信中The problem is that Laura and I share a lot of hobbies and we always go to the clubs together. So Molly is really unhappy about it and she says she feels left out可知，由于Jess和Laura有很多共同的愛好，總是一起去俱樂部，所以Molly感覺受到了冷落，所以她很不開心。由此可知應(yīng)選C。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的語境she's really upset and doesn't want to go out. It's a really awkward situation, and I'm disappointed可知，作者想要出去慶祝一下，而她的朋友Rachel不想出去，作者感到很失望。由此可知，這是一個尷尬的局面。awkward尷尬的，故應(yīng)選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三封信中Now she's really upset and doesn't want to go out現(xiàn)在Rachel非常的難過，不想出去，由此可推測Rachel在考試中表現(xiàn)很糟糕，故A是正確的。根據(jù)第一封信中The problem is, I'm usually a pretty good student at school, and my dad might be angry if I get bad grades可知，Andy的父親對他很嚴格，故B不對；根據(jù)Now she's really upset and doesn't want to go out.可知Rachel不想出去，故C不對；根據(jù)The problem is that Laura and I share a lot of hobbies and we always go to the clubs together.可知，是Laura和Jess有很多共同的愛好，故D不對。

這篇短文由三封信組成，都是寫給Marnie的，Andy，Jess和Karen在他們的生活中遇到了一些問題，他們想向Marnie求助。短文內(nèi)容貼近教材主題和學生們的日常生活，比較容易理解。后面的題目設(shè)置有細節(jié)理解題、詞義猜測題和推理判斷題。細節(jié)題考查學生們對文中某處事實細節(jié)的理解，答案常可以直接在原文找到。做題時應(yīng)根據(jù)題目所問，利用關(guān)鍵詞，鎖定文章相應(yīng)的語句或段落，搜索信息作答。例如第2小題，題目問的是Jess的問題，利用這個名字我們可以知道，答案應(yīng)在第二封信中，根據(jù)The problem is that Laura and I share a lot of hobbies and we always go to the clubs together. So Molly is really unhappy about it and she says she feels left out可知，由于Jess和Laura有很多共同的愛好，總是一起去俱樂部，所以Molly感覺受到了冷落，所以她很不開心。由此可知應(yīng)選C。
