A. effect B. sense C. change D. chance 【答案】D 句意:天气预报说今天会是多云,后半夜可能有雨。本句中chance意为“可能性”,句中的形容词slight说明可能性较小。 考向二 在阅读理解中考查“文化背景”话题 (2016全国卷Ⅲ, B) On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table. “Hey, aren't you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I'm from Mississippi too.” Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair. “They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn't know what my New York friends were thinking.” Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty's new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi stare reunion(团聚). “My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’” Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation. “I don't make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don't have to.” Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty's people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story. 1. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe? A. Two strangers joined her. B. Her childhood friends came in. C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner. D. Some people held a party there. 2. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty's________. A. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories 3. What can we learn about the characters in Welty's fiction? A. They live in big cities. B. They are mostly women. C. They come from real life. D. They are pleasure seekers. 【语篇解读】文章介绍了一位女作家请纽约的朋友吃饭时发生的故事。Welty是一位年纪比较大的作家,她来自密西西比,她的作品都来自现实的生活。 1. A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话的another customer was approaching their table和第三段第一句话中的 the woman joined the Welty party可知,先后有两个陌生人加入了Welty他们的聚会。 2. D 词义猜测题。加下划线的them指代前面提到的人或者物,根据now we believe your stories可知,them指代的是Welty写的小说里面的故事,听了Welty和两个陌生人的有关密西西比的谈话之后,Welty的朋友相信了Welty小说的故事都来源于生活。 3. C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段和最后一段的第一句话可知,Welty小说里的人物并非虚构的,他们都来源于现实的生活,故选C。 计策1:slight chance与weather forecast对应 计策2:考查点不是孤立的,而是与句中的词紧密相连 计策1:细读首段,确定文章基调 计策2:根据体裁确定阅读方法 本文是记叙文,就要理清文章的人物和相互之间的交集。 计策3:重视题干所给的重要信息 计策4:了解正确答案的特征 ①正确答案经常与中心思想有关。 ②正确答案的位置,最常见的三个位置是:段首段尾处、转折处、因果处。 ③正确答案经常运用的原则是:同义替换、正话反说、反话正说。 ④从语气角度来看,正确答案中经常含有不肯定的语气词和委婉表达的用词。如:can,may,might,possible,not necessarily,some。 ⑤正确答案经常具有概括性、深刻性,不能只见树木不见森林。 一、词汇拓展 1.
