Question

1．Dear Friend，
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there．
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the 3 billion worth of children's books bought each year…plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers．
Who are these needed writers？They're ordinary folks like you and me．
But am I good enough？
I was once where you might be now．My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt，and I didn't know where to turn for help．
Then，I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潛能），and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed．
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you，if you show basic writing ability：
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course．
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course，but that happened．I sold three stories．And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute．
Since graduation，I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles．
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training．
Realize your writing dream today．There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever．
 
Sincerely，
KimiKristi Holl，Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇廣告類短文，在文章中作者指出兒童讀物有著巨大的市場，市場也需要更多的優(yōu)秀兒童讀物作家，以此來呼吁人們參加該文章介紹的培訓(xùn)課程．

解答 61．D  62．C  63．B
61．D 主旨大意題．根據(jù)首段內(nèi)容The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there．和第二段And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books可知前三段內(nèi)容主要介紹了兒童讀物有著巨大的市場，而且這種需求的增長也引發(fā)了對兒童讀物作家的需求，故選D項．
62．C 推理判斷題．由第五段話中的You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course．可知培訓(xùn)單位承諾在結(jié)束培訓(xùn)后為參加培訓(xùn)人員發(fā)表一篇作品，故選C項．
63．B 推理判斷題．通讀文章可知，材料是對一個兒童書籍寫作課程的介紹，具有廣告性質(zhì)．作者 Kristi Holl 提到自己完成課程之后寫了34本全國出版的兒童書籍和超過300篇故事和文章，旨在說明課程的有用性，從而推銷（promote）這個寫作課程．故正確答案為B．

點評 閱讀廣告類類文章時，應(yīng)該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下，主要注意細(xì)節(jié)信息．這類閱讀細(xì)節(jié)理解題居多，做題時，根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達到事半功倍的效果．同時，在閱讀時也要特別注意文中以粗體、大寫、下劃線等方式加以提示的文字，因為這很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分內(nèi)容的概括
