Question

【題目】 Thanks to the worldfamous writer Garcia Marquez, many people think of Latin America as a land of magic.

Where does the magic in his books come from? It may come from the mix of different cultures and ethnicities (種族) in Latin America.

It even has the world’s biggest rainforest(雨林)—the Amazon. Many of the world’s most unusual plants and animals live there.

There is also a mix of people in Latin America, including the local people, Africans and Europeans. However, most of them speak the same languages—Spanish or Portuguese(葡萄牙語(yǔ)).

Latin America is quite wellknown for its music and dance. Latin Americans have created many dance styles. Latin dance styles are cheerful and can bring strangers together.

做“選擇型閱讀理解”一定要有的放矢，帶著問(wèn)題去閱讀�？忌�最好先把文章后的問(wèn)題瀏覽一遍，并把問(wèn)題中的一些關(guān)鍵詞圈出來(lái)，然后帶著問(wèn)題閱讀。第一遍可以采取略讀和快速閱讀的方法，把可能是答案的地方畫(huà)出來(lái)，然后對(duì)照每個(gè)小題選擇的范圍，提高準(zhǔn)確率。

閱讀理解常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題的類(lèi)型如下：

（1）客觀具體性問(wèn)題。這類(lèi)型的問(wèn)題比較簡(jiǎn)單，屬于識(shí)字得分題，通常可在原文原句中找到答案，如事情發(fā)生的時(shí)間，地點(diǎn)或原因；

（2）判斷推理性問(wèn)題。這類(lèi)型問(wèn)題的常見(jiàn)提問(wèn)方式包括猜測(cè)作者的意圖（purpose/aim），推測(cè)可能會(huì)產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果，判斷信息的正誤（true/not true）。這類(lèi)型問(wèn)題的答案通常不能從文章中直接獲取，需要結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，作者的態(tài)度和目的，歸整分散的信息，然后進(jìn)行分析判斷或者合理的推測(cè)。對(duì)于含有only，all，every，never，none，no one等絕對(duì)化表達(dá)的選項(xiàng)要分外留意；

（3）概括性問(wèn)題。這類(lèi)型問(wèn)題的常見(jiàn)提問(wèn)方式包括文章的標(biāo)題（title）、大意（main idea）和結(jié)論（conclusion）等。這類(lèi)問(wèn)題比上一類(lèi)難，不能直接得出答案。必須在理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上，對(duì)信息進(jìn)行歸納整合。做這類(lèi)型的題目時(shí)，先采取排除法，縮小范圍后，聯(lián)系上下文。排除片面的選項(xiàng)，選擇最具概括性或總結(jié)性的答案。
