Question

“Who made your T-shirt?”A Geoletdown University student raised that question．Piertra Rivoli, a professor of business, wanted to find the answer．A few weeks later, she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path form Texas cotton from to Chinese factory to charity bin(慈善捐贈(zèng)箱)．The result is an interesting new book, The Travel’s of a T-shirt in the Global Economy(經(jīng)濟(jì))． 　　Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade．She goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner．In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a step towards a better life for the people who work there．In the colorful used-clotting markets of Tanzania, she realizes that,“it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market,”where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color, Rivoli’s book is full of memorable people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the“muddy-sweet smell(泥土香味)of the cotton,”she says．“Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like shallot water Texas．” 　　Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections．She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization．The changes opened up by trade are vast, she argues, but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check．True economic progress needs them both． (1) What do we learn about Professor Rivoli?

Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．C;3．A;4．D;
解析：

(1)	這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“The result is an interesting new book, The Travel’s of a T-shirt in the Global Economy”可以知道Rivoli通過T-shirt的生產(chǎn)運(yùn)輸過程來研究全球經(jīng)濟(jì)。
(2)	這是一道推理題。根據(jù)“where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color”T-shirt的價(jià)格每時(shí)都在變，所以要迎合市場。
(3)	這是一道指代題。根據(jù)“but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check．True economic progress needs them both”自由的市場需要政治力量來維持其秩序，所以them應(yīng)該指代的是free markets。
(4)	這是一道主旨題。本文主要講述了Rivoli通過研究T-shirt的生產(chǎn)、貿(mào)易過程，并從T-shirt的貿(mào)易反映出全球自由貿(mào)易的規(guī)律。所以比較貼近原文主旨的標(biāo)題是“What T-shirts Can Teach Us”。 　　此類文章多采用略讀法，即通過略讀，對(duì)所讀材料的體裁、結(jié)構(gòu)和邏輯關(guān)系有一定了解，并弄清問題的要求、提問方式，從而判斷并確定問題的類型。做到：提高閱讀速度，防止斷續(xù)停頓，避免心不在焉，抓住關(guān)鍵詞語，快速掃視全文，避免逐詞擾人。
