Question

　　A friend's grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe(東歐). After being processed(移民入境檢查) at Ellis Island, he went into cafeteria(自助餐廳) in lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order(點(diǎn)菜). Of course nobody did. At last, a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

　　“Start out at that end,”she said.“Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay.”

　　“I soon learned that's how everything works in America,”the grandfather told a friend.“Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want only if you are willing(愿意) to pay the money. You can even get success(成功), but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”

Answer 1

答案：B;A;D
解析：

解析：第1題要求考生找出這篇短文的最佳標(biāo)題。這種類型的題目不僅考查考生對(duì)短文的理解，更重要的是考查考生在理解短文的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行歸納小結(jié)，了解這篇短文內(nèi)在意義的能力。通讀全文后，了解到這篇短文講的是一位老人第一次在美國(guó)自助餐廳用餐的經(jīng)歷，領(lǐng)悟到在美國(guó)生活就像在自助餐廳用餐一樣，一切要靠自己這一道理。所以選項(xiàng)B是正確的。 　　平時(shí)地理、歷史方面知識(shí)的積累也有利于解答閱讀理解題。如果知道波蘭是歐洲國(guó)家，再理解了文章的第一句話，就不難選出第2題A是正確答案。 　　解答第3題，應(yīng)善于抓住有用的信息，理解短文的意思，特別是文章的開頭和結(jié)尾。文章的第一句常包含了全文的主要信息或基本觀點(diǎn)；而結(jié)尾部分常是結(jié)局或結(jié)論。寓言或幽默文章的結(jié)尾也往往是點(diǎn)睛之筆。做第3題時(shí)，如果理解了短文的最后兩句的意思，就不難得出在美國(guó)你要想獲得成功，絕不可等待別人的恩賜，要靠自己努力。答案D是很明顯的了。 　　閱讀理解的關(guān)鍵是“理解”。同學(xué)們?nèi)绻�能在理解的基礎(chǔ)上，采用合適的方法，閱讀理解題是并不難做的。
