Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won't find out,” Mark said, “I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It's an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”
“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It's a computer game. I knew it! Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:
“ENTER NAMES
VOYAGE 1
VOYAGE 2
Mark's finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED.
START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.
AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED( 自动回收程序已启动).”
The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we'd better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．
DESTINATION: MARS.
RETRIEVE DATE: 2025

Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James' swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”

James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness.

20．（2012·江西）阅读理解
For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages．Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured (忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.
（1）What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1
A．Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages．
B．The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short．
C．The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams．
D．Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place．
（2）How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2
A．By giving instructions． B．By analyzing cause and effect．
C．By following the order of time． D．By giving examples．
（3）According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because______．
A．they pay less for the tickets
B．they feel safer during the travel
C．they can enjoy higher speed of travel
D．they don't have to waste time being “processed”
（4）What does the last sentence of the passage mean
A．They could enjoy free and relaxing travel．
B．They needed the clock to tell the time．
C．They preferred traveling on horseback．
D．They could travel with their master．
（5）What is the main idea of the passage
A．Air travel benefits people and industries．
B．Train Travel has some advantages over air travel．
C．Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
D．The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.

18．【答案】（1）C
（2）D
（3）B
（4）C
（5）A
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；段落大意；学习教育类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，分别从背景，主题，角色以及其主要情节“发现之旅”方面介绍名著The Snake-stone。
（1）考查段落大意。 根据第二段中的”The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age.“以及最后一段中的”Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, ‘I was home.'“可知，该书主题体现在James寻找生身母亲的征途也就是战胜自我获得人生真谛的发现之旅。所以C选项正确。
（2）考查细节理解。 根据第二段最后两行教练所说“You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”你不能再像小孩一样，就知道循规蹈矩。你应该探索，像找定方向的年轻潜水员。言外之意要James做一个独立的有个性的年轻人。故D选项正确。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的”The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “可知，the snake stone是James生身母亲离开留下的识别身份见证物（The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind…）。所以B答案正确。
（4）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的”Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, 'I was home.‘”可知A选项错误；根据最后一段中的“ Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. ”可知B选项错误；根据第四段可知故事转折点是在James养父母离开他的时间，那时候还没找到他的生身母亲。故D选项错误；根据第三段中的“The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.”可知C选项正确。
（5）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“ James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. ”以及“He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. ”可知James的寻母征途是快乐而又有成就感的。自己发现了人生真谛从此开始成长起来了（I was home.）所以A选项正确。

19．【答案】（1）D
（2）B
（3）B
（4）B
（5）C
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Bigger Brothers Bigger Sisters（公益项目），它存在25年且遍及世界各地。其宗旨是通过老少联谊活动，加强友谊。从而帮助脆弱的7—17岁未成年人增强自信，把握人生方向。Emily就是其中的一个受益者。
（1）考查细节理解。 根据第一段中的“It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerabile young people (7—17) with a volunteer aldult…”，可以得知该项目宗旨是通过老少联姻活动，加强友谊获得乐趣。故选D。
（2）考查细节理解。 根据第三段” A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months. “可知，该项目的志愿者与未成年人相处的时间，一年中每月3—4次，每次1—4小时。所以B选项正确。
（3）考查细节理解。 根据第六段可知，母亲认为Emily参与这一项目可以让Emily获得不同的自我价值反馈途径，而不仅仅是一种方式(从同学中获得)。所以选B。
（4）考查推理判断。 根据倒数第二段中的“I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something …it is all work and no play.”可知Sarah觉得花点时间做别的事情是很有乐趣的。它也是一种工作方式（兼职）。故B选项正确。
（5）考查推理判断。 根据第三段中的”These activities improve the friendship and help the young person develop positive self-respect, confidence and life direction.“可知，该项目举办一些活动来培养vulnerabile young people的自尊感，自信感以及积极人生心态；根据第五段得知Emily（vulnerabile young people的例子）在学校难以得到同学的认同；根据最后一段中的”They love and look forward to their time together and the partnership has certainly helped Emily be more comfortable in being the wonderful, happy and unique girl she is!“可以得知Emily参加该项目以后受益匪浅，从此变成一个快乐而富有个性的好女孩。所以从正反两方面可推知C选项正确。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析、推理，从而选出正确答案。
20．【答案】（1）B
（2）D
（3）D
（4）A
（5）D
【知识点】主旨大意；推理判断题；文章结构题；旅游观光类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，乘坐飞机旅游，使现代旅游者认为距离和速度不再是担忧的问题。实现了100多年以来梦寐以求的旅游自由。但它也带来了些许无奈，缺少了诸多乐趣——人们成了时间的奴役。
（1）考查段落大意。 第一段讲了由于旅行速度快，国与国之间的距离变成了村与村的距离。实现了旅行区域自由的梦想。先扬后抑，导入下文。B选项符合此意。
（2）考查段落结构。 该段先讲述了现代旅行买下了时间和距离。但旅行目的是讨个享受，而不是忍耐。接着分别正反两方面举例说明：搭船旅游可以悠闲地领略途中不断变换的美景和自然声响；坐火车旅行可以观赏窗外湖光山色；而乘飞机只能面对单调的蓝天和机内乏人的音像。所以选D。
（3）细节理解题 第三段前半部分描述了乘飞机旅行时， 现在的乘客像机器人似的，进入或离开机场时要耗费时间在一些“程序化”的事情上。而搭船和坐火车则不一样。所以人们更乐意选modern high-speed train.选项D符合此意。C选项表达的不是此段的大意。故排除。
（4）考查推理判断 。 根据最后一段中的” Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.“可知远古时代人们骑马可以悠闲自由地驰骋在辽阔的平原上，领略与今日不同的世界， 而不受时间的蹂躏。故A选项正确。
（5）考查主旨大意。 本文第一段告诉我们乘飞机旅行可以使人们战胜距离；第二段话锋一转，指出人们旅行目的是为了休闲享受；第三段便直接说明乘飞机旅行的弊端（耗费时间在一些“程序化”的事情上）；最后一段讲现代的人们为了追求速度，节省时间更好地休闲而不得不忍受着乘飞机旅行时的忙碌以及飞机内有限地空间。整个文章告诉人们乘飞机旅行速度快，但要忍受一些无奈，失去些乐趣。故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及主旨大意、细节理解、段落结构、推理判断和段落大意五个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析、推理、概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
21．【答案】（1）Collecting stamps with themes
（2）other methods of collecting stamps
（3）We should wait for 12 years
（4）sport(s)； astronomy；animal(s)
（5）Teenages
【知识点】阅读表达
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，集邮主题各不相同。除了地点，时间以外，还有运动，天文和十二生肖等。主题集邮尤受青少年喜爱。
（1）考查主旨大意。前四段介绍集邮的不同主题；第五段讲主题集邮注意事项；最后一段交代主题集邮的最大困难。因此，根据结构可以得知整篇文章大意是和主题集邮（Collecting stamps with themes）相关。
（2）考查推理判断。第一段介绍有按地点，时间为主题的集邮。第二段第二句以后是讲按运动为主题的集邮。第3,4段讲按天文和十二生肖为主题的集邮。因此该句可以看成第一段与2,3,4,段的段间过渡，也可以看成2.3.4段的中心句。因此，相对于第一段，这里当然是介绍other methods of collecting stamps。
（3）考查细节理解。该题是问为了收集全十二生肖的邮票我们该怎么办。首先可以把信息定位在第5段; 然后找到该段的第二句（…and a lot of collectors wait patiently for 12 years to collect a full set of them.）; 最后以答者的身份改变人称（they变为we ）.即We should wait for 12 years.
（4）考查概括归纳。该题要考生列出文章提到的三个一般性集邮主题。全文讲到集邮主题有地点，时间，运动，天文和十二生肖等。但在2,3,4段中浓彩笔墨介绍了人们喜爱的运动，天文和十二生肖三个主题。所以答案为sport(s)； astronomy；animal(s)。
（5）考查词义猜测。根据文章最后一段第一句“主题集邮尤其受青少年的欢迎。因为对于他们来说，有着广泛的可选择范围。”所以them是指人（Teenages）。考查指代词在文章中的理解能力。故答案为Teenages。
【点评】本题考点涉及主旨大意、推理判断、细节理解、概括归纳以及词义猜测等五个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析推理，概括归纳，并按照题目要求，写出正确答案。
22．【答案】One possible version I Like Reading Reading is my favorite hobby. I can never stop the love for reading because books are like wise teachers as well as good friends in my life.

There are a variety of books for us to choose from, like history books, science books, literary books and so on.

三、阅读理解
17．（2012·江西）阅读理解
Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won't find out,” Mark said, “I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It's an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”
“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It's a computer game. I knew it! Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:
“ENTER NAMES
VOYAGE 1
VOYAGE 2
Mark's finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED.
START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.
AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED( 自动回收程序已启动).”
The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we'd better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．
DESTINATION: MARS.
RETRIEVE DATE: 2025

A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty
The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.
The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James' swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”
The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.
The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie. It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.
The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness.

20．（2012·江西）阅读理解
For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages．Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured (忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.
（1）What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1
A．Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages．
B．The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short．
C．The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams．
D．Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place．
（2）How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2
A．By giving instructions． B．By analyzing cause and effect．
C．By following the order of time． D．By giving examples．
（3）According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because______．
A．they pay less for the tickets
B．they feel safer during the travel
C．they can enjoy higher speed of travel
D．they don't have to waste time being “processed”
（4）What does the last sentence of the passage mean
A．They could enjoy free and relaxing travel．
B．They needed the clock to tell the time．
C．They preferred traveling on horseback．
D．They could travel with their master．
（5）What is the main idea of the passage
A．Air travel benefits people and industries．
B．Train Travel has some advantages over air travel．
C．Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
D．The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.

【知识点】主旨大意；推理判断题；文章结构题；旅游观光类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，乘坐飞机旅游，使现代旅游者认为距离和速度不再是担忧的问题。实现了100多年以来梦寐以求的旅游自由。但它也带来了些许无奈，缺少了诸多乐趣——人们成了时间的奴役。
（1）考查段落大意。 第一段讲了由于旅行速度快，国与国之间的距离变成了村与村的距离。实现了旅行区域自由的梦想。先扬后抑，导入下文。B选项符合此意。
（2）考查段落结构。 该段先讲述了现代旅行买下了时间和距离。但旅行目的是讨个享受，而不是忍耐。接着分别正反两方面举例说明：搭船旅游可以悠闲地领略途中不断变换的美景和自然声响；坐火车旅行可以观赏窗外湖光山色；而乘飞机只能面对单调的蓝天和机内乏人的音像。所以选D。
（3）细节理解题 第三段前半部分描述了乘飞机旅行时， 现在的乘客像机器人似的，进入或离开机场时要耗费时间在一些“程序化”的事情上。而搭船和坐火车则不一样。所以人们更乐意选modern high-speed train.选项D符合此意。C选项表达的不是此段的大意。故排除。
（4）考查推理判断 。 根据最后一段中的” Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.“可知远古时代人们骑马可以悠闲自由地驰骋在辽阔的平原上，领略与今日不同的世界， 而不受时间的蹂躏。故A选项正确。
（5）考查主旨大意。 本文第一段告诉我们乘飞机旅行可以使人们战胜距离；第二段话锋一转，指出人们旅行目的是为了休闲享受；第三段便直接说明乘飞机旅行的弊端（耗费时间在一些“程序化”的事情上）；最后一段讲现代的人们为了追求速度，节省时间更好地休闲而不得不忍受着乘飞机旅行时的忙碌以及飞机内有限地空间。整个文章告诉人们乘飞机旅行速度快，但要忍受一些无奈，失去些乐趣。故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及主旨大意、细节理解、段落结构、推理判断和段落大意五个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析、推理、概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

21．（2012·江西）阅读下面短文并回答问题
[1]Stamp collectors usually collect stamps only from certain countries or regions. The traditional method of stamp collecting is to organize stamp collection according to the issue dates.
[2]Of course, there are many . . You can collect stamps relating to a particular theme. For example, sport lovers may choose the Olympic theme. They try their best to find Olympic stamps issued by various parts of the world every four years. Some of them may want to concentrate on even more specific sport activities like ball games, gymnasium, swimming, etc.
[3]If you like astronomy, you may be keen on collecting stamps describing the stars, planets, spacecraft, spacemen, etc. once you have fixed the topic, you no longer need to bother about stamps other than the theme you selected. Then, you can put all your effort to collect the stamps around it.
[4]China issues zodiac animal stamps (十二生肖邮票) every year to celebrate the Lunar New Year. They are extremely popular and a lot of collectors wait patiently for 12 years to collect a full set of them. Hong Kong's Lunar New Year special stamp series began in 2000 with the Year of Dragon and the twelfth and final set was issued in 2011, the Year of Rabbit. Recently some Western countries have issued zodiac animal stamps, which attract a lot of attention as well.
[5]You may choose any theme you like. However, you should bear in mind an essential point. The topic you choose should not be too narrow. Otherwise, it is very difficult to accumulate stamps around the topic. You will be depressed and even lose your interest in collecting stamps.
[6]Collecting stamps with themes is especially popular among teenagers because there is a wide range of choices for them. The main challenge is how you organize and expand your collection around your theme.
（1）What is the main idea of the passage （no more than 5 words）
　 　
（2）Fill in the blanks in Paragraph 2 with proper words． （no more than 5 words）
Of course, there are many 　 　.
（3）What should you do if you want to collect a full set of zodiac animal stamps （no more than 7 words）
　 　
（4）List the three general themes in collecting stamps mentioned in the passage． （3 words）
　 　
（5）What does the word "them" （Line2, Paragraph6） probably refer to （1 word）
　 　
【答案】（1）Collecting stamps with themes
（2）other methods of collecting stamps
（3）We should wait for 12 years
（4）sport(s)； astronomy；animal(s)
（5）Teenages
【知识点】阅读表达
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，集邮主题各不相同。除了地点，时间以外，还有运动，天文和十二生肖等。主题集邮尤受青少年喜爱。
（1）考查主旨大意。前四段介绍集邮的不同主题；第五段讲主题集邮注意事项；最后一段交代主题集邮的最大困难。因此，根据结构可以得知整篇文章大意是和主题集邮（Collecting stamps with themes）相关。
（2）考查推理判断。第一段介绍有按地点，时间为主题的集邮。第二段第二句以后是讲按运动为主题的集邮。第3,4段讲按天文和十二生肖为主题的集邮。因此该句可以看成第一段与2,3,4,段的段间过渡，也可以看成2.3.4段的中心句。因此，相对于第一段，这里当然是介绍other methods of collecting stamps。
（3）考查细节理解。该题是问为了收集全十二生肖的邮票我们该怎么办。首先可以把信息定位在第5段; 然后找到该段的第二句（…and a lot of collectors wait patiently for 12 years to collect a full set of them.）; 最后以答者的身份改变人称（they变为we ）.即We should wait for 12 years.
（4）考查概括归纳。该题要考生列出文章提到的三个一般性集邮主题。全文讲到集邮主题有地点，时间，运动，天文和十二生肖等。但在2,3,4段中浓彩笔墨介绍了人们喜爱的运动，天文和十二生肖三个主题。所以答案为sport(s)； astronomy；animal(s)。
（5）考查词义猜测。根据文章最后一段第一句“主题集邮尤其受青少年的欢迎。因为对于他们来说，有着广泛的可选择范围。”所以them是指人（Teenages）。考查指代词在文章中的理解能力。故答案为Teenages。
【点评】本题考点涉及主旨大意、推理判断、细节理解、概括归纳以及词义猜测等五个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析推理，概括归纳，并按照题目要求，写出正确答案。
