先理解標(biāo)題，推測(cè)文章內(nèi)容：LightNight,DarkStars0沒有生詞，

明亮的夜晚，昏暗的星空。只是看題目，還不易推測(cè)出文章的主要內(nèi)

容，因此，要快速瀏覽全文，看能否找到出現(xiàn)頻率較高的詞或短語(yǔ)，

它們有可能就是文章的核心！大家看到了我用黑線標(biāo)出了出現(xiàn)頻率最

多的短語(yǔ)：lightpollution.所以可以推測(cè)文章的內(nèi)容和光污染有關(guān)。

接下來判斷所給5題的題型，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)1至4都是細(xì)節(jié)題，因此

只需要找到關(guān)鍵詞逐一回答即可。而第5題是主旨題，而且是最后一

題，所以要等文章讀完后最后做。

1.Whencanpeoplesee14000stars?

AWhentheyhaveafairlygoodtelescope當(dāng)他們有一個(gè)非常不錯(cuò)的望

遠(yuǎn)鏡.

BWhentheyareinalargecity當(dāng)他們?cè)诖蟪鞘袝r(shí).

CWhenthenightskvisclearofclouds,moonlightandartificiallights

當(dāng)夜空中沒有云、月光和人造燈光時(shí).

DWhenthenightskyiswithouthazeandfog當(dāng)夜空沒有陰霾和大霧

時(shí).

分析：關(guān)鍵詞很容易找14000stars,在第一段出現(xiàn)了該詞：

Thousandsofpeople（數(shù)以千計(jì)的人）aroundtheglobe（世界上）

stepoutside（走出去）togazeat（凝視）theirnightsky.Onaclear

（晴朗的）night,withnoclouds,moonlight,orartificial（人造的）

lightstoblock（遮擋、擋?。﹖heview,peoplecanseemorethan14,000

starsintheskv（答案C）,saysDennisWard,anastronomer（天文學(xué)家）

withtheUniversityCorporationforAtmosphericResearch（UCAR）in

Boulder,Colo.Butwhenpeoplearesurrounded（被。。。包圍）bycity

lights,hesays,they/reluckytosee150stars.

補(bǔ)充：請(qǐng)注意短語(yǔ)：beclearofsth:無(wú)阻礙、障礙、危險(xiǎn)

如：Waituntiltheroadisclearoftrafficbeforecrossing4等到路上沒車

時(shí)再過馬路。）

2.Whichofthefollowingstatements（敘述）isNOTrelatedto（同。。。有

關(guān)）lightpollution?

AAhazeoflightisformedfromartificiallightssuchasstreetlightsand

buildinglights（陰霾的光是由人造光而形成的，如路燈和建筑物的光）.

BLightsfromdifferentsourcesinthecitystreamintospaceand

illuminatethenightsky來自于不同來源的光進(jìn)入太空并照亮了夜空.

CThenightskyisilluminatedbythelightsfrombigglowingcitiesinthe

night夜空由晚上大城市發(fā)出的光照亮.

DStargazing（star+gazing觀望星星）becomesdifficultbecausethere

isalayerofhazeintheair由于空氣中有一層霾，所以觀望星星變得困

難.

分析：本題的關(guān)鍵詞是lightpollution,而且按照題目的題號(hào)應(yīng)該在文

章的前面，所以從第二段找找看：

Ifyou'veeverdriventowardabigcityatnightandseenitsglowfroma

（答案）（見證、目睹）

greatdistanceC￡you'vewitnessedlight

pollution.Itoccurswhenlightfromstreetlights,officebuildings,signs,

andothersourcesstreamsintospaceandilluminatesthenightsky（答案

A,B表述）.Thishazeoflightmakesmanystarsinvisibletopeopleon

Earth.Evenatnight,bigcitieslikeNewYorkglowfromlightpollution,

makingstargazingdifficult（請(qǐng)注意這句話并不是答案D,他們不同，

該句是說：甚至在晚上，許多像紐約這樣的大城市所產(chǎn)生的燈光使觀

望星星變得困難。）所以，D的表述同光污染沒有關(guān)聯(lián)。

3.Doesthewriterthinkgrowingcitiesaffectastronomers7work?Why

doeshethinkso?

AYes.Becausetheoncedarkruralareasarepollutedbylights因?yàn)樵?/p>

經(jīng)黑暗的鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)被光污染了.

BNo.BecausetheyCallstillseestarsinruralareas.

C.Yes.Becauseruralareasarenotagoodplaceforastronomerstostudy

stars因?yàn)猷l(xiāng)村地區(qū)不是一個(gè)好的研究星星的地方。

D.No.Becausefaintlightgivenoffbystarscallstillbeseenonaclear

night

分析：題目是說：不斷擴(kuò)大的城市會(huì)影響天文學(xué)家的工作嗎？為什么

他會(huì)這樣認(rèn)為？

在A答案中我們可以看到線索詞:polluted和lights.所以，根據(jù)閱讀

的規(guī)律，只要和線索詞有關(guān)的答案，多半就是最終答案。如果大家想

檢查答案是否正確的話，也可以帶著關(guān)鍵詞astronomers去找答案：

Hazyskiesalsomakeitfarmoredifficultforastronomerstodotheir

jobs.

通過對(duì)句子的分析，排除答案B,D.留下A,C.在接下來的段落中可

以對(duì)答案加以判斷：

Citiesaregettinglarger.Suburbs（郊區(qū)）aregrowinginoncedark,rural

areas.Lightfromallthisnewdevelopmentisincreasingly

obscuring（使。。。變得模糊）thefaint（微弱的）lightgivenoffbydistant

stars.Andifscientistscan'tlocate（確定。。。的位置）theseobjects,

theycan'tlearnmoreaboutthem.

總結(jié)：做閱讀理解時(shí)大家需要牢牢抓住文章的中心或核心詞，只要被

選項(xiàng)中有核心內(nèi)容的出現(xiàn)就可以推測(cè)為正確答案！

4.Howdoeslightpollutionaffectwildlife?WhichofthefollowingisNOT

correct?

A.Animalsmaygooffcourseduetotheattractionofartificiallights

由于受到人造光的吸引，動(dòng)物們可能偏離航向.

B.Animalsmightbeattractedbvartificiallightstogointocities.

動(dòng)物們可能會(huì)受到人造光的吸引而進(jìn)入城市

C.Artificiallightsatnightmaymakemigratingbirdslosetheirway.

夜間的人造光可能會(huì)使遷徙的鳥類們迷路

DAttractedbyartificiallights,birdsflyintolightedbuildings.

由于受到人造光的吸引，鳥類飛進(jìn)有光的建筑物里。

分析：題目是說：光污染是如何影響野生動(dòng)物？下列哪個(gè)說法不正

確？

關(guān)鍵詞就是wildlife,在最后一段里，可以找到內(nèi)容：

Lightpollutiondoesn/tonlyaffectstarvisibility.Itcanharmwildlife

too.It/sclearthatartificiallightcallattractanimals,makingthemg。off

course”（答案A）.There/sincreasingevidence.Forexample,that

migratingbirdsusesunsetsandsunrisestohelpfindtheirway,says

SydneyGauthreausJr.,ascientistatClemsonUniversityinSouth

Carolina."Whenlightoccursatnight,"hesays,“ithasaverydisruptive

（破壞性的）influence（答案C）."Sometimesbirdsflyintolighted

towers（答案D）,highrises,andcablesfromradioandtelevision

towers.Expertsestimatethatmillionsofbirdsdiethiswayeveryyear.

所以，答案B并未提到。

5.Whichofthefollowingisclosest（最接近的）inmeaning（意思）tothe

title"LightNight,DarkStars"?

A.Thenightskyislightcoloredandstarsareblack夜空是淺色的而星星

是黑色的.

B.Lightsappearatnightandstarsareseeninthedark

光顯現(xiàn)在夜晚而在黑暗中人們看見星星.

C.Citieslightsillunfinatethenightskvandmakestarsinvisible

城市的燈光照亮了夜空而使得星星已經(jīng)無(wú)法看見.

DCitylightsatnightilluminatestarsinthesky.

夜晚的城市的燈光照亮了天空中的星星。

分析：本題是唯一的一道主旨題，所以需要縱觀全文。通過我們對(duì)前

4題的解答，完全可以判斷出文章的主題就是說：由于不斷擴(kuò)大的城

市，越來越多的城市燈光，已經(jīng)成為一種污染，使得天空中的星星黯

然失色，所以答案就是C。

解題目：Declining衰退的Interest興趣inDeveloping發(fā)展、開

發(fā)ForeignLanguage外語(yǔ)Skills技能，所以串在一起可以將之理

解成：逐漸喪失提高外語(yǔ)技能的興趣。通過理解題目，我們可以推測(cè)

一下，在文章中foreignlanguages和declininginterest應(yīng)是核心詞。

接下來，來看5道題的題目，對(duì)出題方式加以判斷：1,3,4都是細(xì)

節(jié)題，而2題是推斷題；5題是詞語(yǔ)釋義題。針對(duì)不同出題方式的題

目要以不同的方法加以應(yīng)對(duì)。

1.Howmuchpercent百分?jǐn)?shù)ofhighschoolgraduates(高中畢業(yè)生)

wereproficient(精通的)inforeignlanguagesfortyyearsago(40

年前)？

A)70.B)13.C)40.D)6.5.

分析：這是細(xì)節(jié)題，關(guān)鍵詞：highschoolgraduates,fortyyearsagoo

位于第一題的位置，所以答案應(yīng)該來源于第一段：

Australia'sforeignlanguageskillsaredeclining,VoiceofAmericahas

reported.Newfigures(數(shù)字)showthatonly13percentofhigh

schoolgraduatescanspeakaforeignlanguage.Butfour

decades（一個(gè)decade是10年）ago（40年前）,40percenthadforeign

languageskills（答案的出處）.

2.Whatcanbeinferred（推測(cè)出）fromparagraph2?

A）Australiahasrichdepositsofminerals.（澳大利亞有豐富的礦

藏）

B）Australiaisessentiallyaself-sufficientcountry.

C）AustraliahasnointentiontotradewithAsiancountries.

D）Australianstudentsarenotrequiredtolearnaforeignlanguage.

分析：題目中有infer,所以該題是推斷題。因此，需要讀第二段，

尋找核心內(nèi)容，主要是要找到關(guān)鍵句：

ProfessorEliseTipton,fromtheUniversityofSydney,saysincreasingly

studentsdonotfeeltheneedtolearnanotherlanguagetoboosttheir

career.ShebelievesthatAustralia'seconomicboom（經(jīng)濟(jì)的繁榮），

whichisdriven（受至驅(qū)動(dòng)）byred-hot（非常有活力的）demand（要

求）foritsminerals礦物（核心詞），ishelpingmask掩蓋serious

deficiencies不足initslanguageskills.

注意：一般發(fā)現(xiàn)A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)出現(xiàn)中心詞，一

般該選項(xiàng)就是正確答案。

3.WhatdoesDilipDuttathinklanguageskillscando?

A.Improveyourrelationwithyourpartner.

B.Helpsettleinternationalconflicts.

C.Removebarriersinnegotiations.

D.Increasetradingopportunities.

分析：這是一道標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的細(xì)節(jié)題，中心詞就是：DilipDuttao帶著它，

我們可以在第三段里搜索到相關(guān)的語(yǔ)句：

DilipDutta,fromtheeconomiceandbusinessfacultyatSydney

University,sayslanguageskillscanenhancetradingopportunities（答案D

出處?。?IFAustralianswanttotradewithAsiancountries,itisvery

4.WhyhastheAustraliangovernment（澳大利亞政府）beenkeenly

（亞洲）？

A）BecauseAsiaiswhereAustraliaislocated.

B）BecauseAsiaiswhereAustralia'smajorexportsgo.

C）BecauseAsiaiswhereAustraliansgoandspendtheirholidays.

C）BecauseAsiaiswhereAustraliacanplayabigroleininternational

affairs.

分析：從題目的類型來說，一定是細(xì)節(jié)題，找到核心詞：Australian

government,keenlyinterestedin,tieswithAsia。我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)核心詞

沒有出現(xiàn)在第四段中，而在最后一段中出現(xiàn)了：

Atpresent,about70percent0fAlistralia'smajorexports（主要的出口貨

物）gotoAsiaand（該詞相當(dāng)于so,因果關(guān)系連詞）theAustralian

governmenthasbeenkeenondevelopingcloser（親密的）economic

5.Theword"faculty"inparagraph3canbereplacedby.

A）college學(xué)院.B）institute學(xué)會(huì)、研究所

C）university大學(xué).D）department系.

分析：這是一道詞語(yǔ)釋義題。大家可以查字典?，也可以根據(jù)單詞出現(xiàn)

的前后文來判斷:DilipDutta,fromtheeconomics（經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)）and

（貿(mào)易）因?yàn)楹竺嬗小?/p>

businessfacultyatSydneyUniversity,ooouniversity,

因此自然想到是大學(xué)里的“系二

解標(biāo)題：OlderVolcanic(火山的)Eruptions(噴發(fā))

本文講的是遠(yuǎn)古火山噴發(fā)，所以oldervolcaniceruptions應(yīng)是核心詞。

1.Whydidoldervolcaniceruptionsdomoredamagethanmorerecent

ones?（為什么遠(yuǎn)古火山噴發(fā)比近期噴發(fā)損害更大？）

A.Becausetheykilledofflifemoreeasily.

B.Becausetheywerebrighter.

C.Becausetheywerelarger.

D.Becausetheywerehotter.

分析：細(xì)節(jié)題。第一題，一般在開頭段落尋找答案。

Volcanoesweremoredestructive（更具有破壞性的）inancienthistory

（在古代的勞歷史中），notbecause（不是因?yàn)椋﹖heywerebigger,but

because（而是因?yàn)椋﹖hecarbondioxide（二氧化碳）theyreleased（他

們所釋放的,定語(yǔ)修飾前面的thecarbondioxide）wipedout擦去、

抹去life生命greaterease（更容易）.

句子是說：古代的火山更具殺傷力，不是因?yàn)樗鼈兏?，而是因?yàn)樗?/p>

們釋放出來的二氧化碳更容易把人殺死。所以答案A表述的內(nèi)容同本

段相符。

2.How（如何，詢問方式）didWignallcalculate（計(jì)算）thekillingpower

（殺傷力）ofthoseoldervolcaniceruptions?

A.Byestimatinghowlongtheylasted.通過估計(jì)他們持續(xù)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。

B.Bycountingthedinosaurstheykilled.通過數(shù)死去的恐龍的的數(shù)量

C.Bystudyingthechemicalcompositionoflava.通過研究熔巖的化學(xué)構(gòu)

成。

D.Bvcomparingtheproportionoflifewipedoutwiththevolumeoflava

produced.通過比較火山釋放出的熔巖的體積與殺死生命的比例。

分析：毫無(wú)疑問這是細(xì)節(jié)題，核心詞就是人名：WignalL
