Question

【題目】The weather is getting colder. People are wearing their winter coats, hats and gloves (手套). But best of all, now is the time of year to wear qiuku (秋褲)！

Qiuku has many names in English. Some people call it long underwear. The formal (正式的) name in English is thermal (保暖的) underwear, or thermals for short.

But the most popular (通俗的，普及的) nickname is “l(fā)ong johns”. Some people think they are named after the famous British boxer (拳擊手) John Sullivan. He wore clothing like long underwear while boxing. However, no one knows if this is true.

US people wear long johns too, but they’re not very popular. Every home in the US has heaters (暖氣). So you don’t need to wear warm clothes indoors during winter. Most people also think they are not very fashionable to wear. But some people have to work outdoors in winter. They need to wear long johns to keep warm during winter.

I love to wear long johns too. I wear them at home all the time during the winter. They are comfortable and relaxing to wear.

【解析】

冬天到了，天氣越來越冷了，又到了穿秋褲的時候了。這篇短文給我們講述了“秋褲”的不同稱呼和名稱的由來，并介紹了美國人以及作者對秋褲的不同觀點。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中But the most popular (通俗的，普及的) nickname is “l(fā)ong johns”.可知，“秋褲”最受歡迎的英文名字是long johns，故應(yīng)選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段中Every home in the US has heaters (暖氣). So you don’t need to wear warm clothes indoors during winter. Most people also think they are not very fashionable to wear.可知，秋褲在美國不是那么流行，原因有：在美國每家都有暖氣，所以在室內(nèi)不需要穿保暖的衣服；其次大多數(shù)人都覺得秋褲不是那么時尚。故應(yīng)選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段I love to wear long johns too. I wear them at home all the time during the winter. They are comfortable and relaxing to wear.可知，作者喜歡穿秋褲，他覺得很舒服、很放松。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文意可知，這篇短文中作者介紹了“秋褲”的很多名字，以及名稱的由來。還提到了美國人和自己對“秋褲”的不同看法。作者只是介紹了關(guān)于“秋褲”的一些事實，沒有推銷、售賣或者要求人們都來穿“秋褲”的意思，故應(yīng)選B。D選項只是文章一部分內(nèi)容的意思，并不能概括全文的內(nèi)容。

這篇短文中作者介紹了“秋褲”的很多名字，以及名稱的由來。還提到了美國人和自己對“秋褲”的不同看法。文章主題明確，內(nèi)容貼近學(xué)生們的日常生活，因此比較容易理解。后面的題目設(shè)置有細(xì)節(jié)理解題和主旨大意題。細(xì)節(jié)題考查學(xué)生們對文章事實信息的理解，答案常可以在原文直接找到。做題時，應(yīng)注意根據(jù)題目中的關(guān)鍵詞語定位到原文，搜索信息作答。例如第2小題，這個題目問的是“秋褲”在美國不是那么流行的原因，這一內(nèi)容是在文章第四段中提到的，根據(jù)這一段中Every home in the US has heaters (暖氣). So you don’t need to wear warm clothes indoors during winter. Most people also think they are not very fashionable to wear.可知原因有兩個：一是在美國每家都有暖氣，所以在室內(nèi)不需要穿保暖的衣服；二是大多數(shù)人都覺得秋褲不是那么時尚。結(jié)合題目中列舉的句子可知應(yīng)選B。
