　　B．then

　　C．and

　　D．therefore

　　解析：这是 “祈使句＋and＋简单句” 结构。as planned是插入语。语意：明天务必来这儿，按照预定的计划，我们要参加那位杰出的播音员的追悼会。

　　答案：C

　　警示误区：出题人为了增加题目的难度，经常在题干中使用省略、倒装或加入插入语等。为了快捷、准确地理解题意，可以去掉句子中的插入语或附加成分，这样就能迅速地找出答案。

　　C．it；who；that

　　D．which；that；that

　　解析：语意：是那个吉他弹得很好的Simon帮助盲人从起火的公交车里逃出来的吗？Simon后面跟着非限制性定语从句，由于指人，故用who；第一个空填it，第三个空填that，是强调句。

　　答案：C

　　10．—Why not join us in the barbecue?

　　—________.

　　A．Sure，please

　　B．I don’t like dancing

　　C．That’s all right

　　D．OK，coming

　　答案：D

　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then，suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or love？”

　　Job applicants in the west increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.

　　Employers want people who are skilled，enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response，employers are increasingly using the questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.

　　The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Temperament Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know.This is also called aptitude(天资)test.

　　According to Mark Baldwin of

　　Alliance，many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.“When a Chinese fills out an aptitude test，he or she will think there is a right answer but they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.”

　　This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma(窘境)．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest，but they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.

　　问题三：词义猜测和细节理解类常见问题

　　高考阅读理解中比重最大也是比较基础的题型就是词义猜测和细节理解题，这类题是考生争取的重点，它要求考生快速而准确地获取信息，从而拿到最基本的分数。考生最常见的问题就是见到生单词就头脑发蒙，无法从已知信息中找到有用的线索，从而造成失分。因为本节内容较重要，所以我用较多篇幅来讲解一下。

　　例题精析：

　　【例1】 (2009·广东卷B篇)We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured_up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that tendollar grand prize，each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich.

　　(A)The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

　　A．formed an idea for

　　B．made an outline for

　　C．made some space for

　　D．chose some colors for

　　【答案解析】 选择A。词义猜测题。上下句是Some...Others...句子，while we conjured up our designs的对应部分是while deep in thought，可见conjured up的意思是“思考，想象”，所以A项正确。

　　【例2】 (2009·全国Ⅱ卷A篇)I know what you’re thinking: pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a．m. if you want to.

　　(A)The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________

　　A．food remaining after a meal

　　B．things left undone

　　C．meals made of vegetables

　　D．pizza topped with fruit

　　【答案解析】 选择A。词义猜测题。根据画线单词之前的last night’s可以猜测划线单词的意思应为“(前一天晚上的)剩饭”。

　　【例3】 (2008·陕西卷A篇)There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back，with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back，our_legs_were_like_jelly.

　　(A)The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means ________.

　　A．we were weak

　　B．we were unhappy

　　C．we were dissatisfied

　　D．we were disappointed

　　【答案解析】 词义猜测题。根据There was no shade and our legs were aching可知“我们很累很虚弱”，故A项正确。

　　【例4】 (2008·重庆卷A篇)I arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子) after quilt from the boxes，proudly showing me their beauties. She was perparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes，I noticed something at the bottom of on box.. I pulled it out. “What is this？” I asked.

　　“Oh？”Mom said，“That’s Mama’s quilt.”

　　I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together: irrugular designs，childish pictures，a crooked line on the right.

　　(C)1.Why did the author go to mother’s home?

　　A．To see her mother’s quilts

　　B．To help prepare for a show

　　C．To get together for the family dinner

　　D．To discuss her grandmother’s life

　　(C)2.The underlined word “crooked” in the passage most probably means ________.

　　A．unfinished

　　B．broken

　　C．bent

　　D．unusual

　　【答案解析】

　　1． 细节理解题。由文章的第一句可知作者回母亲家是为了参加家庭聚餐，故C项正确。

　　2． 词义猜测题。前面的情况都与一条好的quilt的特点相反，所以crooked的意思应该和其相反，故C项正确。

　　【例5】 (2008·安徽卷C篇)How do people climb the wall? To climb，you need special shoes and harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high，and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes，it’s not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling，so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall，the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.

　　Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body，especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger.

　　(B)1.The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is ________.

　　(B)2.The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means ________.

　　A．settlement

　　B．exercise

　　D．tiredness

　　【答案解析】

　　1． 细节理解题。根据it’s difficult not to feel fear可知，人们在攀墙时很难控制自己的恐惧，故B项正确。

　　2． 词义猜测题。第二段第一句中exercise点明本词意义，这种运动给你身体完全的锻炼，所以B项正确。
