【解析】

這是一篇說明文，主要介紹假期期間去紐約旅行的一些建議，包括如何到達(dá)紐約、公共交通、旅館、外出就餐、購物、去參觀的地點(diǎn)等。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New York. 當(dāng)你到達(dá)他們中的一個(gè)，你可以乘公共汽車或出租車到紐約的任何地方。和句子In New York, there’s a good bus and subway service. 在紐約，有很好的公共汽車和地鐵服務(wù)�？芍�，本文提到了公共汽車、出租車以及地鐵三中交通工具。故選B。

【2】詞意猜測題。A. A restaurant. 餐廳；B. A hotel. 酒店；C. An airport. 機(jī)場。根據(jù)句子There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on Fifth Avenue but you don’t have to pay a lot to stay in the city. 紐約有許多好的旅館。最好的是第五大道上的廣場，但是你不必花很多錢就可以住在城里�？芍�，The Plaza是指“旅館、酒店”的意思。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)There are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near Central Park is great for young people. 有很多小旅館，基督教青年會(huì)靠近中央公園，對(duì)年輕人來說很好�？芍�，年輕人到紐約旅行時(shí)喜歡住在基督教青年會(huì)。故選C。

【4】數(shù)字計(jì)算題。根據(jù)you have to pay a special 8% tax(稅) on everything you buy in New York. 你在紐約買的東西都要繳納8%的特別稅。可知，除了10美元的價(jià)格之外，還要加上0.8美元的稅。故選A。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由句子And you shouldn’t go home without climbing the Statue of liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city. 你不應(yīng)該不爬自由女神像就回家欣賞城市的風(fēng)景。因此在紐約，我們可以爬上自由女神像。故選C。

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(shí)和細(xì)節(jié)題的命題特點(diǎn)是：把某詞語、某個(gè)句子或某具體事實(shí)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(shí)。

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(shí)，放慢速度，仔細(xì)核對(duì)比較內(nèi)容，直至找到答案。
