Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】D

【解析】

本文為記敘文。馬克·艾略特·扎克伯格是社交媒體網(wǎng)站Facebook的創(chuàng)建者，是世界上最年輕的億萬富翁。他在天文學、數(shù)學和物理學方面獲過獎，在電腦和網(wǎng)絡方面做的非常出色。他的發(fā)明使他成為《時代》雜志2010年度最佳人物。

【1】猜測詞義題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Zuckerberg excelled in everything he did in his youth. He was captain of the school fencing team, spoke many languages and was a highly skilled computer programmer. While other kids played computer games, he designed them. He created his first network while in high school to connect all of the computers …”可知，“扎克伯格年輕時是學校擊劍隊的隊長，會多種語言，是一名熟練的計算機程序員。當其他孩子玩電腦游戲時，他設計了電腦程序。他在高中時創(chuàng)建了第一個連接所有計算機的網(wǎng)絡，引起了微軟的興趣”。由此可知，扎克伯格年輕時做的每件事都很出色。由此可推斷出“excelled in”可被B. did well in（做的好，非常棒）替換，符合題意，故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段首句“Zuckerberg excelled in everything he did in his youth.”以及全段的內容，可知“扎克伯格年輕時做的每件事都很出色。他是學校擊劍隊的隊長，會多種語言，是一名熟練的計算機程序員。他在高中時創(chuàng)建了第一個連接所有計算機的網(wǎng)絡甚至吸引了微軟和美國在線的興趣”，可知，他在許多領域內有精彩的表現(xiàn)。分析選項可知C符合題意，故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的內容可知，“He launched Facebook from his Harvard room in February 2004”。由此可知他在2004推出了Facebook，故選D。

【4】推斷判斷題。第一段“Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was bom on May the 14th, 1984. He is the creator of the social media site Facebook”可知，只知他是社交網(wǎng)站的創(chuàng)始人，但沒說何時建立的，故A錯誤的。第三段“he created Facemash, a Facebook predecessor (前身), which let students select the college’s best looking people from a selection of photos.”可知B是錯誤的，根據(jù)第一段最后一句“His invention led to his becoming Time magazine’s Person Of The Year for 2010.”可知，是他的發(fā)明而不是他的捐款讓他成為《時代》雜志2010年度最佳人物，故C錯誤。通讀全文可知，扎克伯格在電腦和網(wǎng)絡方面做的非常出色，是社交媒體網(wǎng)站Facebook的創(chuàng)建者。他還是世界上最年輕的億萬富翁。在2010年，扎克伯格簽署了一項承諾，承諾將至少一半的財富捐給慈善機構。由此可推斷出“不僅是一個聰明的電腦巨人，也是一個善良的億萬富翁”。故D正確。

高考用邏輯推理猜測詞義是使用最廣考查最多也最易失分的猜詞方式。詞義推斷可以是一個單詞的意義推斷，也可以是一個短語或句子的意義推斷，既可以是生詞意義，也可以是熟詞新意；還可以是對替代詞所替代內容的判斷。在閱讀理解題中，所考查的詞或短語的意義往往不停留在字面上，要根據(jù)短文提供的語境，通過閱讀上下文，根據(jù)已知的信息或常識來推測尚不熟悉的詞或詞組的含義。這要求考生具備整合分散、復雜信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相關的詞匯并結合具體的語境，從形式和內容上把握語言之間的內在聯(lián)系，理順語言之間的邏輯關系，進而達到猜詞的目的。如第1小題屬于猜測詞義題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Zuckerberg excelled in everything he did in his youth. He was captain of the school fencing team, spoke many languages and was a highly skilled computer programmer. While other kids played computer games, he designed them. He created his first network while in high school to connect all of the computers …”可知，“扎克伯格年輕時是學校擊劍隊的隊長，會多種語言，是一名熟練的計算機程序員。當其他孩子玩電腦游戲時，他設計了它們。他在高中時創(chuàng)建了第一個連接所有計算機的網(wǎng)絡，引起了微軟的興趣”。由此可知，扎克伯格年輕時做的每件事都很出色。由此可推斷出“excelled in”可被B. did well in（做的好，非常棒）替換，符合題意，故選B。
