【重点难点解析】
1,A good many animals sleep under the snow.
很多动物睡在雪下。
a good many 意为"很多",后接复数可数名词。
We've lived here a good many years.
我们在这里已经住了许多年了。
a great many 和a good many 在意义和用法上基本相同,但前者的语气较重。
I have a great many things to do today.
今天我有许多事要做。
2,There is a lot of air in loose snow, and this helps to keep the cold out. 松散的雪里有大量的空气,这有助于御寒。
keep sb. /sth. out (of…) 意为"不使入内,(使)……在外"。如:
Warm clothes will keep the cold out. 保暖的衣服可以御寒。

1)句中the cat, the dog, the wolf不是特指某一只猫、狗、狼,而是指猫、狗、狼的整个类属,定冠词在此处表示类别。
The tiger and the lion belong to the cat family. 老虎和狮子属于猫科。
不定冠词+单数名词和不带冠词的复数可数名词都可以表示事物的类别。

He had no choice but to leave.他非走不可。
I don't have any choice but to do as you tell me. 我除按你所说的去做外,没有任何别的办法。
【词语辨析】
1,weather和climate的区别
weather意为"天气",为不可数名词,不能在前面加不定冠词,如我们只能说in such fine weather, 而不能说in such a fine weather. 如:

He stays indoors watching TV in wet weather. 下雨天他常待在家里看电视。
The weather has changed.天气变了。
Many crops depend on the weather. 许多农作物要依靠天气。

She goes out in all weathers. 不论天气如何,她总出去。
In most weathers, they work outdoors. 在大多数天气条件下,他们在室外工作。
weather与climate都表示天气,但两者侧重点不同,weather指某特定地区在一定时间内的气象情况。climate指一般比较长的时间,如一季的天气状况。如:

【能力培养-阅读理解】
根据国家教委考试说明,高考阅读量不少于1000单词,文章题材、体材多样化。考察学生的能力包括对文章的概括、领会大意的能力,对文章细节的理解能力,根据文章推测、判断能力和对文中某些生词的判断力。
通过观察高三学生做阅读理解练习,可以发现高三学生看懂文章大概内容并不难,之所以失分较多,就是对文章整体、细节和问题及选项理解的准确性掌握不好。为了提高答题的准确性,在平时的训练中,我们认为应注意以下几点。
1、首先克服阅读中的不良习惯,即通过翻译中文理解文章,因为这种翻译阅读减慢了阅读速度,也就打断了文章整体思路的理解。在阅读中即使遇到生词或不理解的句子,可暂时忽略,也不必特意记细节,这样才能把握住文章的中心意思。
2、遇考察学生掌握中心思想的这类问题,必须依据全文所提供的信息而非根据某一细节来选答案。回答这类问题,好比人买帽子,不可太大,又不能太小盖不住脑袋。我们在选这类题时必须选的是能概括,有共性的信息,不可选超越文章的选项,也不可选覆盖不住文章内容的选项。
3、在考察学生对细节问题的理解上,这时需要细读,必要时翻译成中文可能对细节理解更有帮助。考细节理解,包括细读题干,弄清到底问什么,在文中寻找信息,遇关键词或句可划线提醒自己注意,然后细读选项,避免答非所问,切勿脱离文章凭空想象。最后为仔细比较选项表答上的区别。
4、考察学生推理判断的问题,是通过已知信息来得出未知结论,尽管文章中找不到直接答案,在回答问题时必须以文章事实为依据,从文章中能找出支持正确答案的句子和段落。
下面以2002年全国的高考试题阅读理解文章D为例来分析:
D
Treasure hunts (寻宝) have excited people's imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues (线索) found in a book when he wrote a children's story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them.
Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic (逻辑), not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: "One of Six to Eight" under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry Ⅷ's six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.
Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th. 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth £3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.
67. The underlined word "them"(paragraph 1) refers to _______.
A. red herrings B. treasure hunts
C. Henry Ⅷ's six wives D. readers of Masquerade
68. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare?
A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill.
B. Stevenson's Treasure Island.
C. Katherine of Aragon.
D. Williams' hometown.
69. The stone crosses in Ampthill were built _______.
A. to tell about what happened in 1773
B. to show respect for Henry Ⅷ's first wife
C. to serve as a roadsign in Ampthill Park
D. to inform people where the gold hare was
70. Which of the following describes Robert's logic in searching for the hare?
a. Henry Ⅷ's six wives
b. Katherine's burial place at Kimbolton
c. Williams' childhood in Ampthill
d. Katherine of Aragon
e. stone crosses in Ampthill park
A. a-b-c-e-d B. d-b-c-d-a
C. a-d-b-c-d D. b-a-e-c-d
71. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. An exciting historical event.
B. A modern treasure hunt.
C. The attraction of Masquerade.
D. The importance of logical thinking.
【答案及简析】
67.D。这是一道词义猜测题。它考查学生根据上下文确认代词所指的能力。短文第一段叙述了数百年来,寻宝在现实生活和书中都已经激发了人们的想象力。"Masquerade"是一本关于一只兔子的儿童故事书,在园里埋了一只金兔,书中提供了大量的线索来帮助读者找到这只兔子,但Williams同时也插入了许多引开别人注意的题外话或者假线索来误导他们。我们把该段中he wrote a children's story, Masquerade和The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare及Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them这三处信息综合考虑,就不难判断出them在这里指Masquerade一书的读者,故答案为D。
68.C。这是一道事实询问题。短文第二段叙述了找到这只金兔的Ken Roberts已经找了将近两年。虽然他大部分时间一直在错误的地方搜寻,但是他找到这只兔子是靠逻辑,而不是凭运气。我们再根据该段中所叙述的His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: "One of Six to Eight" under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon可以判断出,能够帮助Ken Roberts找到金兔的最重要的线索是Katherine of Aragon,故答案是C。
69.B。这是一道综合分析判断题。回答此题需要综合短文第二段中的"One of Six to Eight"under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry Ⅷ's six wives和but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.这两处信息。如果理解了in sb's honor和to show respect or thanks for sb.的意思就是"为纪念某人;向某人表示敬意或感谢",就不难判断出最佳答案应选B。
70.C。这是一道排列顺序题。考查学生的逻辑推理能力。短文第二段中详细描述了Ken Roberts寻找金兔的逻辑顺序。文中提到Ken Roberts寻找金兔的逻辑顺序。文中提到Ken找到金兔的成功来源于一开始就获得重要线索的事实。答题时应先看两头做排除,后分析中间定答案。即先根据短文内容确定发生的第一件事。该段中He had realized that the words: "One of Six to Eight" under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry Ⅷ's six wives. 一句提供的信息是Ken Roberts寻找金兔的逻辑顺序首先是Henry Ⅷ's six wives. 应是a开头,有A、C供选择。该段中he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773. 一句中的two stone crosses in Ampthill. 则是找到金兔的最后逻辑线索,应是结尾,故最佳答案为C。
71.B。这是一道主旨大意题。阅读短文可知,本篇短文叙述了一次现代寻宝的经历。由短文第一段可知,当现代作家Kit Williams于1979年写一本儿童故事"Masquerade"的时候,把寻宝这一令人兴奋的事情与书中所发现的线索结合起来。这个珍宝就是Willams在Bedfordshire的一个公园里所埋的一只金兔,Ken Roberts 这各种逻辑线索,终于找到了埋藏金兔的地点。成功地获取了珍宝。我们再根据短文最后一段中Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure可以判断出B为最佳选项。
