Question

　　A good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Let's look at the following sentence: JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP. As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story. It tells the reader whom the story is about--John Henderson, and when the event takes place--late one night. If we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that:

　　1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a “business trip”.

　　2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is“exhausting”.

　　3. John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving “l(fā)ate”at night right after this exhausting（精疲力盡）trip.

　　Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence. In order to make reasonable inferences we should:

　　1. Read and think beyond the printed words.

　　2. Analyze the information given in the text.

　　3. Determine the author's reason for his choice of words.

Answer 1

答案：A:B;A;D;B
解析：

(1)文章開(kāi)頭闡明了作者的觀點(diǎn)：“A good reader is one who can read beyond the lines，seeing ideas implied through the words...”，后半句是對(duì)前半句的解釋。 (2)文章選用了一個(gè)例句（大寫(xiě)句子），作者講解這個(gè)例句時(shí)也推斷出John Henderson或許是一個(gè)商人。 (3)通過(guò)文中作者對(duì)例句的理解可知，此處的exhausting相當(dāng)于tiring。 (4)題目中所說(shuō)的“make inferences”表示“作出推論”，即得出一個(gè)結(jié)論，而非猜測(cè)、想象或翻譯等。 (5)本文主要說(shuō)明如何在閱讀過(guò)程中進(jìn)行推斷，文章一開(kāi)就說(shuō)明如何才是一名好讀者。
