四、范文欣赏：学生网上交友
Should students make friends online？Some people say yes，saying the Internet helps make many friends.Chatting online，students can more freely express their feelings and opinions，and even get help in their foreign language study.
Others，however，think students should not，for they think making friends online is a waste of time，which should be spent more meaningfully on study.Besides，some students get cheated online.
In my opinion，students should place their study，health and safety before other things，and as for friendship，we can easily find it on our classmates and other people around us.
一、主旨大意题(Ⅰ)
1．利用文章的第一段来确定文章主旨
新闻报道一般首先点明全文的主题，然后再详细叙述事件的发生、发展和结局，因此其第一段往往点明了全文的主题。另外有些说明文和议论文也会开门见山地提出文章要说明的中心或阐述的观点，其主题句一般是文章的第一句话或隐含在文章的第一段。应当注意的是，在捕捉文章的主题时，不能简单套用公式，应该对包含主题句的段落进行分析、综合。
典例1 EDGEWOOD—Every morning at Dixie Heights High School，customers pour into a special experiment：the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.
59．What is the text mainly about
A．A best selling coffee.
B．A special educational program.
C．Government support for schools.
D．A new type of teacher student relationship.
答案　B
解析　主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道。本段为第一段，点明了全文的报道主要是围绕a special experiment展开的。通览全文并结合关键词by students with special learning needs不难发现，全文报道了一个特殊的教育项目，故B项“特殊的教育项目”最符合全文的主题。
典例2 Forget Twitter and Facebook，Google and the Kindle.Television is still the most influential medium around.Indeed，for many of the poorest regions(地区) of the world，it remains the next big thing—finally becomes globally available.And that is a good thing，because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
63．What would be the best title for the passage
A．TV Will Rule the World
B．TV Will Disturb the World
C．TV Will Better the World
D．TV Will Remain in the World
答案　C
解析　主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文。本段为第一段，作者指出电视仍是并将继续是最有影响力的媒体，电视的全球化将使人们的生活更加美好。这就是作者要说明的观点，也是全文的主题，故C项“电视将使世界更加美好”概括了全文的主要内容，作标题最佳。
2．利用篇中的主题句来概括文章主旨
在某些议论文和说明文中，作者首先列举或说明人们的错误观点或认识误区，然后再点明自己的观点或说明的中心思想，最后用充分的事实依据来论证自己观点的正确性或说明真实的情况，在这种情况下文章的主题就出现在了文章的中间。
典例3 Sounds unusual，doesn’t it？But it’s not that unrealistic，with the development of China’s high speed railway system.And that’s not all.China has an even greater high speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe.
70．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A．New Railway Standards
B．Big Railway Dreams
C．High speed Bullet Trains
D．International Railway Network
答案　B
解析　主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文。本段为第二段，该段第一句中的it指代第一段中的“想象”。文章第一段先展开设想，畅想一下高速铁路带来的便捷，第二段说明这并不是海市蜃楼，中国还有更壮阔的高铁梦——连通东南亚和东欧，这才是本文的主题所在。该段的关键词为an even greater high speed railway plan，只有B项“伟大的高铁梦”作标题最合适。

Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时8′)
The Amazon River carries rain and snowfall from high in the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.Along its journey，the river has created a unique environment that serves people beyond the borders of Brazil.The Amazon River basin is possibly the earth’s most fragile and necessary ecosystem.The basin holds an astonishing 20 percent of the earth’s fresh water，more than the next six largest rivers combined.The flow of the Amazon is so powerful that it dilutes (冲淡) the salt water more than one hundred miles of beyond the coastline.
The Amazon River basin is a rainforest or jungle.It is home to a diversity of life forms found nowhere else on earth.The rainforest includes more than two million species of insects，one hundred thousand plants，two thousand species of fish and six hundred mammals.The basin also has huge reserves of rare metal.The flow of the Amazon River can also be harnessed to provide hydroelectric (水力发电的) power.Trees and vegetation in the basin help to balance CO2 and oxygen.Trees and vegetation use CO2 to make their food and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
The rainforest of the Amazon River basin provides a valuable resource to the entire planet，but it is being destroyed.People are moving into the Amazon basin and clearing the rainforest to build cities.The rainforest is often cleared to create land for feeding cattle.Finally，miners clear the land in order to get its minerals.
The deforestation (砍伐森林) of the Amazon basin may have long reaching effects.When the trees are removed，we reduce the amount of CO2 taken from the air.Some scientists predict that the build up of CO2 will cause global warming.If the temperature of the earth rises，polar ice will melt，which will raise the level of the ocean and possibly，flood south Florida.
1．According to the text，the Amazon River .
A．has changed the environment on the Andes Mountains
B．is becoming more and more fragile due to droughts and floods
C．is the source of a fifth of the total amount of freshwater in the world
D．dilutes the salt water of the Pacific Ocean
2．The underlined word “harnessed” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”．
A．moved B．divided
C．controlled D．used
3．Paragraph 2 mainly explains .
A．why the Amazon River basin is a fragile ecosystem
B．why the Amazon River basin is a necessary ecosystem
C．how the Amazon River basin attracts lives to live there
D．how the Amazon River basin feeds the wildlife there
4．Which of the following is NOT a reason why people destroy the rainforest

Ⅲ.阅读简答(建议用时11′)
Facts are sometimes more unusual than fiction.The following case makes Agatha Christie’s plot look like children’s literature.
The medical inspection of Ronald Opus’s body showed that he died from a shotgun wound of the head. He had jumped from the top of a ten storey building intending to commit suicide.As he fell past the ninth floor，a shotgun blast through a window killed him instantly.Neither the shooter nor Opus knew that a safety net had been put up at the eighth floor level to protect some window washers and that Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide anyway because of this.
The room on the ninth floor where the shotgun blast went through was occupied by an elderly man and his wife.They were arguing and he was threatening her with the shotgun.He was so upset that when he pulled the trigger(扳机)，he completely missed his wife and the pellets(小子弹) went through the window，striking the falling Opus.
The old man said it was his long term habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun.He had no intention to murder her.Therefore，the killing of Opus appeared to be an accident.That is ，the gun had been accidentally loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple’s son loading the shotgun approximately six weeks before the fatal incident.It turned out that the old lady had cut off his son’s financial support and the son，knowing the habit of his father to use the shotgun threateningly against his mother，loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother.
Further investigation revealed that the son had become increasingly depressed over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother’s murder.This led him to jump off the ten storey building，only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a ninth floor window.
The case was closed as a suicide.
