Question

Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not otherwise know or talk with. Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you’re not so sure of. For example: working on a deadline, staying organized, or being patient. And if you’re a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it. Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project. If so, you’ll know your whole group is rooting for you!
One of the most important things about group work is talking and meeting together. It’s a good idea to continually check with everybody on their progress to see if anyone needs help. You might think the first step is to figure out who will do what, but actually it’s getting to know another a little. Take a few minutes to chat. Even if you know each other well, it can help to take a minute to think about your skills and share your strengths and weaknesses. The second step is to go over ground rules from your teacher and any that you want to create together as a group

Answer 1

DBCB
試題分析：文章介紹了小組合作帶來的好處以及我們在小組合作中應(yīng)該注意的事。
1.D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段所說的give you a chance to get to know kids，allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone，staying organized，ABC項都是我們可以從小組合作中學(xué)到的，D項錯在forever，原文中則是help you become more comfortable with it，所以選D
2.B 詞義推斷題。根據(jù)上下文，這句話的意思是，如果你的小組選擇你向全班介紹你們的課題，你就會知道你的組員都____你，比較適合此處的詞是支持，所以選B
3.C 細節(jié)題。文章第三段提到continually check with everybody on their progress to see if anyone needs help，所以選擇C
4.B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段的You might think the first step is to figure out who will do what, but actually it’s getting to know another a little，說明小組合作中第一步應(yīng)該做的事是談話以增進了解，所以選擇B
考點：考查教育類短文
點評：文章基本上是考查細節(jié)題，對此類題型考生可以首先從問題中找到關(guān)鍵詞，然后以此為線索，運用略讀及查閱的技巧在文中迅速尋找這一細節(jié)，找到后再把這一部分內(nèi)容仔細閱讀一遍，仔細比較所給選項與文中細節(jié)的細微區(qū)別，在準確理解細節(jié)的前提下，最后確定最佳答案。
