用“正负选项特征”法巧解推理判断题
阅读理解中的推理判断题有一类是四个选项正负特征鲜明，也就是说四个选项中有三个意义表达负面的选项和一个意义表达正面的选项。那么该题的正确答案就是意义表达正面的选项，这种情况占多数。而有三个正面，一个负面的选项，那么该题的正确答案就是意义表达负面的选项，这种情况极少。如果四个选项中，有两个正面和两个负面的表达，一般来说，正确答案为意义表达为正面的选项，然后，再结合文章的主旨大意，来判断两个正面选项中哪个为正确答案。如果四个选项中有两个负面，一个正面，一个中性的表达，那么，也要结合文章的主旨大意作出合理判断。 本题四个选项就属于“三负一正”的特点。

内化读文技法
本文的体裁类型为新闻特写。新闻特写常见于报纸、杂志、电视或广播等媒体。报纸、杂志上的新闻特写多为记叙文，而且都有能概括全文中心的标题，以时间或空间顺序来行文。本文的标题点明了文章的主旨——留学生在文化沟通中的角色与作用。文章的一条线索是商科留学生Xie Lei出国前、初到国外、适应国外生活与学习的情感变化。另一条线索是Xie Lei参与文化沟通与交流的经历，即体验并适应当地文化，介绍中国文化。读文时关注点：
1．关注标题
新闻特写的标题一般是对全文中心思想的浓缩和概括。本文的标题直接点明了本文的中心思想“中国留学生在文化沟通和交流中的角色与作用”。
2．关注结构
记叙类新闻特写大多是按照时间顺序展开的，读者可以找出事件发展的标志性词语，理顺事件发生的先后。如本文中的“six months ago, at first, after just a few weeks, now halfway through her exchange year, later, for now”等。
3．关注叙述手法
文章大量引用主人公Xie Lei的原话，这样既能使叙述生动、真实、可信，又能让读者身临其境，体会主人公的思想、想法，与主人公一起体验留学经历。话语从Xie Lei口中娓娓道来，读者感到自然、亲切。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．“I was very excited but also quite nervous. I didn't know what to expect，” Xie Lei recalled.
赏析：句中的excited用得形象又恰到好处，此处为形容词，意为“感到兴奋的”。谢蕾对于初次乘飞机离开中国到伦敦学习感到兴奋，也体现了主人公激动的心情，同时与后文的nervous形成对比。
2．“My ambition is to set up a business in China after graduation，” she explained.
赏析：句中的ambition一词形象地表达出了谢蕾未来的打算，同时也从侧面体现出谢蕾到英国伦敦学习的意图。此处ambition为名词，意为“追求的目标；夙愿；野心；抱负”。
3．When I got lost, I had to ask passers-by for help, but people here speak fast and use words I'm not familiar with. I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!
赏析：句中使用repeat一词，从侧面说明了谢蕾初到英国伦敦时遇到的困难，同时也体现出她作为交换生虚心学习的过程。
①I was ________________________ when standing on the stage, and my heart was beating fast.
当站在舞台上时，我既兴奋又紧张，心跳得很快。
②I ____________________ to achieve my goals, working hard with full energy.
我有着实现目标的伟大抱负，精力充沛，努力工作。
③She kept _____________________softly over and over again.
她轻轻地一遍又一遍地重复着这个名字。
(二)赏句式之高
1．It was the first time that she had left China.
赏析：句中It was the first time that ...是固定句式，意为“这是第一次……”。该句式中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。该主语从句中的谓语时态用had done形式。该句式虽然简短，但是意义表达十分明确，读起来使人感到轻松愉悦。
2．The first time that she had to write an essay, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas, but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought!
赏析：主句是“her tutor explained ...”，第一层从句是The first time that ...；第二层从句是两个that引导的宾语从句，它们都作explained的宾语。第三层从句是两个what引导的宾语从句，且第一个what引导的宾语从句中又包含一个if引导的条件状语从句。该句式虽然长，但是意义表达清晰且富有逻辑性。
①It was the first time ____________________ the meaning of patience.
这是我第一次真正体会到耐心的意义。
②At that moment, I suddenly realized ____________________ they could to help me.
在那一刻，我突然意识到，他们为帮助我已经尽了最大努力。
(三)赏衔接之顺
As well as studying hard, I've been involved in social activities.
赏析：句中as well as 意为“除了……外”，其后常接名词或动名词。该词的使用增强了文章的可读性，使衔接更顺畅。表达“除了……外”的词汇还有“besides, but, apart from, in addition to”等。
________________________， he has been taking Spanish lessons this summer.
今年夏天，他除了学习游泳外，还在上西班牙语课。
(四)赏点睛之笔
While I'm learning about business, I'm also acting as a cultural messenger building a bridge between us.
赏析：主句和从句均用进行时，突出作者攻读商科的同时，也扮演着文化使者的角色，双管齐下。该句语言精练，主题突出，呼应文章标题，同时升华了主题。
随着经济的发展和国际地位的提高，中国也越来越受到外国留学生的青睐。许多外国留学生前来中国学习，他们接触中国文化的过程中，逐渐喜欢并爱上了中国和中国的优秀文化，他们为中西方文化的沟通与交流搭建起了一座桥梁。
the grounds on which these nations achieved new milestones of development with each passing day.
To study abroad after my graduation, I could not stop seeking my dream.To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go to China.There were a number of reasons behind it — its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there.The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development.
So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master's degree program at Communication University of China.I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses.This good news was welcomed by my family.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Looking back, Geoff Banks of Devon, England can hardly even remember how he first started writing to his American friend, Celesta Byrne.
Geoff and Celesta were given each other's names and addresses as part of a school pen pal program back in 1938.They're both now 100
years old, and a lot has changed in the past years: their age changed；their appearance changed; but one thing has not — they still use the traditional way to contact.
“I honestly struggle to remember something, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school's scheme，” Geoff said, “They matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we've just kept corresponding (通信) ever since.”
Geoff and Celesta's relationship never turned romantic, but they shared a lot over the decades.They kept up their correspondence through World War Ⅱ， sending updates about their families, friends, and work.In 2002, they finally got a chance to meet in person during a trip to New York City.Two years later, they met up again, but ever since then they've gone back to pen and paper.
Recently, they've switched to digital forms of communication to stay in touch.Their children have helped them set up email accounts.“I've known this new thing called Zoom, I think, now to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people.Deep down, I refuse to use Zoom.Writing to Celesta has been a source of great satisfaction for me over the years，” said Geoff.
Celesta says their relationship is “like people who live next door”．“You know how they're doing, you say a few words, and then you both go to work，” she explained.“She's always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Geoff added.

I was at a new school in a new state and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded.I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes.As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand.The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes.I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor.I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air.I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it.The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.
It went on like this.I'd do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday.Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we'd talk small while I folded clothes.She told me about her son and his grades, as well as the new dog they'd just adopted.She was fascinated that I was studying poetry.She teased that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant.Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers.But Sandy was the center of my community.For nearly three years and almost every week, I'd do laundry and talk with her.We checked on each other, expecting the other to be there.We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week.There was a note of concern for the other's absence, a note of joy at their return.
I'd found a place to stand on solid ground.

Looking back, Geoff Banks of Devon, England can hardly even remember how he first started writing to his American friend, Celesta Byrne.
Geoff and Celesta were given each other's names and addresses as part of a school pen pal program back in 1938.They're both now 100 years old, and a lot has changed in the past years: their age changed；their appearance changed; but one thing has not — they still use the traditional way to contact.
“I honestly struggle to remember something, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school's scheme，” Geoff said, “They matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we've just kept corresponding (通信) ever since.”
Geoff and Celesta's relationship never turned romantic, but they shared a lot over the decades.They kept up their correspondence through World War Ⅱ， sending updates about their families, friends, and work.In 2002, they finally got a chance to meet in person during a trip to New York City.Two years later, they met up again, but ever since then they've gone back to pen and paper.
Recently, they've switched to digital forms of communication to stay in touch.Their children have helped them set up email accounts.“I've known this new thing called Zoom, I think, now to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people.Deep down, I refuse to use Zoom.Writing to Celesta has been a source of great satisfaction for me over the years，” said Geoff.
Celesta says their relationship is “like people who live next door”．“You know how they're doing, you say a few words, and then you both go to work，” she explained.“She's always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Geoff added.

I was at a new school in a new state and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded.I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes.As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand.The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes.I left, having decided to air dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor.I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air.I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it.The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.
It went on like this.I'd do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday.Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we'd talk small while I folded clothes.She told me about her son and his grades, as well as the new dog they'd just adopted.She was fascinated that I was studying poetry.She teased that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant.Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers.But Sandy was the center of my community.For nearly three years and almost every week, I'd do laundry and talk with her.We checked on each other, expecting the other to be there.We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week.There was a note of concern for the other's absence, a note of joy at their return.
I'd found a place to stand on solid ground.
