2.掌握建议信的写作特点
语气要诚恳,有礼貌,顾及对方的感受;建议的内容要详尽具体,不能含糊其辞;可提供的建议通常是多个,因此要注意各个建议之间的衔接。
【常用表达】

【思路导引】
1.认真审题
首先根据题目要求确定体裁时态、人称及要点。通过审题可知,这是一篇建议信形式的应用文,开头和结尾的格式已经给出,要求为英国朋友Jim就选择“长江之行”或者“泰山之旅”提出合理化建议,同时帮助他对两条线路作出理想的选择,因此写作时应将第一人称和第二人称相结合,而且建议信多采用一般现在时和一般将来时。
2.合理布局
文章可采用三段式结构:
第一段,表明欢迎英国朋友Jim来中国旅行;
第二段,提出建议并陈述理由;
最后一段,表示祝愿。
3.注意事项
写作时要注意建议的层次性、条理性,恰当运用first of all, what's more,lastly等衔接词。最后表达自己的期望,语言要简练。
One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I'm happy to receive your letter and know you're coming to China.
Of the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Taishan, both are highly recommended. Personally, I prefer the tour along the Yangtze River, the longest river in China and one of the mother rivers of Chinese civilization. What's more, you can learn a lot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery along the river is amazing, with many well-known sightseeing spots. That's why I think the trip along the Yangtze River is a better choice.
I hope you'll have a good time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
1. 题型特点:
提问整篇文章或某句某段的含蓄意思时,问句中都含有infer, imply, indicate, suggest (推断,暗指)等词。对付这类题时我们不仅要弄懂文章字面的意思,更重要的是要知道文章潜在的含义,和作者所给的提示。同时要对文章的含义和作者的暗示作合理的猜测和推论。关键是:意思要靠推断得出,而不是原文照搬。这就要把握住文章的主题思想和每段的内容;明确作者的观点及其写作该文的目的;分析文章里所给的有关信息;注意词汇在词典的定义和词典以外的含义;最后运用自己的知识进行由表及里的逻辑推理,挖出文章的伏笔,得出正确的推论。
2. 命题方式
(1). From paragraph 4 we can infer that. / What can be inferred from the passage / From the last paragraph we can infer that.
(2). The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that.
(3). This passage would most likely be found in _________
(4). The author’s attitude toward …is _________
(5). The tone of the passage can best be described as _________
3.学生应当注意以下几点:
(1). 首先要注意一定要忠实于原文,以文章提供的事实和线索为依据。立足已知,推断未知,遵循“词不离句,句不离段,段不离篇”的原则。千万不能主观臆想,凭空想象,随意揣测,更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。
(2). 要吃透文章的字面意思,从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索,这是推理的前提和基础。有的推断,学生完全可以根据文章中所阐述的细节,再结合自己所掌握的基础知识、有关背景知识或常识来帮助进行分析、推敲,从而得出符合文章原意的结论。
(3). 要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工,由表及里,由浅入深,从具体到抽象,从特殊到一般,通过分析、综合、判断等,进行深层处理,合乎逻辑地推理。不能就事论事,断章取义,以偏概全。
(4). 要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系,了解语篇的结构,同时还要体会文章的基调,揣摩作者的态度,摸准逻辑发展方向,悟出作者的言外之意。
(5). 在解答推理性问题时,一定要注意确定推理依据的位置或范围。应清楚所要解答的问题需要针对某个细节进行推断,还是针对主题思想、作者的意图进行推断。针对细节的推断可运用scanning的方法,迅速在材料中确定推理依据的位置或范围,然后再进行推理判断。针对主题思想作推断时,则常常要纵览全篇文章。
A
“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse(长曲棍球)club.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”
What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l?
A. She knows little about the club.
B. She isn't good at sports.
C. She just doesn't want to volunteer.
D. She's unable to meet her schedule.
【解析】根据文章第一段中的 You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.可知,你可以当我是最后的候选人,如果没有其他的志愿者,那么我就做。由此可推断出,她不想做自愿者。故选C。

…
How does the writer explain birds’ singing
A. By comparing birds with human beings.
B. By reporting experiment results.
C. By describing birds’ daily life.
D. By telling a bird’s story.
【解析】A。由文章第一、二两段可知作者是把鸟儿和人类进行对比。

三. 阅读理解
Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says, "While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain."
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician(儿科医生), believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to associate physical activity with higher learning," says Margaret.
Older people can beef up their brains as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants (婴儿), exercise for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions, such as with yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time.
For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain's flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week.
