周日 实战演练
周一 Section A中的细节题题型分析细节题，顾名思义，就是考查考生对文章细节理解的题目，主要是对文中的具体事实和细节进行提问，目的是考查考生对文中重要事实和细节部分的辨认和记忆能力。细节题在同等学力人员申请硕士学位英语水平考试的阅读理解中所占比重较大。考试中出现的细节题一般有三种主要形式：问句式、不完整的陈述句式和排除式。
1．问句式
问句式是以提问的形式提出问题，用于测试读者理解阅读材料中具体内容的能力。一般在原文中可以直接找到答案。题目常以“which，where，what，when，why，who”等Wh-Questions及“how”引导的问题作为问句，主要涉及具体的时间、人物、地点、事实、原因、结果、目的、定义、数字等。提问形式一般如下：
Why does the author mention Mr．Pickwick in Charles Dickens' novel？
What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans？
What was the most significant about the experiment，according to Dr．Lit？
Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled？
How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video？
According to Sir Liam Donaldson，what is the best way to avoid obesity？
2．不完整的陈述句式
有些题目并不是以问句的形式出现，而是一个不完整的陈述句，要求读者选出的答案与题干构成的句子在意义上与原文内容相符。题干为不完整的陈述句部分，而选择项目为完形部分，可以是短语或完整的句子，主要涉及人物、时间、地点、事件、数字、目的、原因等。常见形式有以下几种：
According to Zubemis，fans want their letters to be read because they _____．
Swift's management claimed that _____．
Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _____．
In the author's eyes，his little daughter was _____．
An example of good manners on the roads is _____．
Lake Livingston is mentioned to show that the public _____．
Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they _____
Lisa Lit and her colleagues _____．
3．排除式
前两种形式都是依据短文所提供的事实细节，要求读者完全理解全文，可以直接在文章中找到答案。还有一种问题的形式，就是要求我们排除文章中的说明信息，找出原文未涉及的内容，间接地找出问题的答案。提问模式如下：
Which of the following is NOT considered by the author as a potential threat to kids？
Which of the following is NOT recommended by the Health Development Agency？
Which of the following is NOT changing the traditional roles of doctors and patients？
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving？解题技巧
1．问句式
在解这类题时，可采用“对号入座”的办法，即带着问题找句子，建议采取如下步骤：（1）先看文章后面的问题（这常常被认为是非常有效的方法），注意记忆关键的词语，如人物、时间、事件等，确定题目的发问中心，也就是说，问题是针对什么提问的。这样我们就可以带着问题去阅读文章，做到有的放矢。（2）把每个问题的发问中心反馈到原文中去。当读到有关解答发问中心的信息时，可在有关信息下面画一直线以示突出。如果问题的顺序没有按原文顺序给出，可以在原文信息下画线的同时，把问题的题号也标出来，便于最后检查，并节约时间。（3）在原文中找出对发问中心的解答信息后，可把原文信息放到问题中去，与每一个选择项目进行对照，与原文信息相符的那项，即是正确的答案。
2．不完整的陈述句式
这类题的答案与原文在字面上的差异很大，有时还要找出与前句的内容在逻辑上的联系。根据自己在题中所画的关键词到原文中找与题中所画关键词的意思相同或相近的对应词。答此类细节题时准确理解是关键，一定要冷静，仔细分析。
3．排除式
做这类题时，首先要仔细阅读题后的选择项目，牢记各个项目所阐述的不同内容，然后带着这些不同的内容去阅读原文。凡是原文中的信息有与选择项目内容相同的，我们可以在这些信息下画线，以作为排除的内容。如果选择项目的内容在原文找不到相应的信息，那么该选择项目即为该题的答案。这类题与前两种题型不同，后者的答案应包括在原文的内容中，即与所述事实具有直接或间接的联系，而前者的答案是被排除在原文内容之外的，因此在答题时要将与原文有关的三个选择项排除，剩下的一个才是答案。真题演练1【2009年真题】
The other day my son asked me if he could ride up to his elementary school on his bike and meet his friend．He wanted the both of them to ride back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline（蹦床）．I have to admit，part of me wanted to say no．We can go pick him up or his parents can bring him over here，I thought．But my son is eleven years old now．And after all，I do let him ride his bike to school．But I also drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way，making sure he is getting there safely．
My husband thinks I am too overprotective．I don't dare to let my children walk anywhere without one of us going along．As you pull out of our neighborhood，there is a shopping center across the street．My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself．But crossing that street is just too dangerous．The cars fly around the comer like they're driving in a car race．What if he gets hit？What if some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot？
31．What did the author feel reluctant to let her son do？A．Meet his friend．（见他的朋友。）B．Play video games．（打电子游戏。）C．Jump on the trampoline．（在蹦床上跳。）D．Ride his bike on streets．（在大街上骑车。）【参考答案及解析】
31．D。【解析】细节题。属于问句式。由第一段最后一句“...I can see him on the way，making sure he is getting there safely．”以及第二段最后两句“What if he gets hit？What if some...parking lot？”可以看出，作者很不放心儿子独自骑车出门。故选D。【重难点词汇】
ride up to 骑车赶到
trampoline n．蹦床
elementary school 小学
overprotective adj．过分保护的；过分溺爱的
bully n．土霸，地痞；vt．欺负，威吓
hang out 闲逛，闲荡【长难句精析】
What if some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot？（1）该句是个假设句。“What if...”意为“如果…怎么办？”。（2）句子大意：如果一些十多岁的小混混在停车场转悠怎么办？真题演练2【2010年真题】
California has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative．“Starting this fall with high school math and science，we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks．”That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June，talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online．He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense．
31．The Digital Textbook Initiative _____．A．will probably take effect in six years（很可能六年后生效）B．covers all the high school subjects（涵盖高中所有学科）C．is advocated by California state governor（得到加利福尼亚州州长的提倡）D．has been approved by all states（得到所有州的批准）【参考答案及解析】
31．C。【解析】细节题。属于不完整的陈述式。题干问的是“数字教科书倡议”这个项目如何。根据题干线索词Digital Textbook Initiative可以定位到该段开头部分，本段开头提到加利福尼亚有一个名为“数字教科书倡议”的项目，第三行又说州长阿诺德·施瓦辛格努力促使学校使用网上免费提供的教学材料。故选C。【重难点词汇】
digital adj．数字的
approve vi ＆ vt．批准；赞成
make sense 有意义，言之有理
initiative adj．主动的，自发的；n．主动权；倡议
available adj．有效的；可利用的【长难句精析】
Starting this fall with high school math and science，we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks．（1）“Starting...”现在分词短语作状语，表示时间。start与we构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作状语。（2）句子大意：从今年秋季的高中数学和科学开始，我们将会是国内首个为学校提供数字化的国家批准名单上的教科书的州。真题演练3【2011年真题】
Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now，and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago？Experts have several theories，and all are probably partially correct．One suggestion is sheer overcrowding．In the last decade，the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percent，and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent．However，the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent．That means more cars in the same amount of space；and the problem is magnified in urban areas．Also，people have less time and more things to do．With people working and trying to fit extra chores（琐事）and activities into the day，stress levels have never been higher．Stress creates anxiety，which leads to short tempers．These factors，when combined in certain situations，can spell Road Rage．
51．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving？A．Increasing number of cars．（车越来越多。）B．Drivers' stress and anxiety．（司机的压力和焦虑。）C．Overcrowded roads．（拥挤的道路。）D．Rush hour traffic．（高峰时段交通。）【参考答案及解析】
51．D。【解析】细节题。属于排除式。题目问的是引起侵略性驾驶的原因。根据以上解题技巧，需要先阅读题后的选择项目，然后可以定位到本段“the number of cars on the roads has increased”，“Stress creates anxiety，which leads to short tempers”，“the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent”这些分别对应A项、B项和C项。故选D。【重难点词汇】
magnify vt．＆ vi．放大
spell vt．招致，导致；拼写 n．符咒；一段时间【长难句精析】
1．Stress creates anxiety，which leads to short tempers．（1）这里which引导的是非限定性定语从句，先行词是anxiety。（2）句子大意：压力产生焦虑，从而导致脾气暴躁。
2．These factors，when combined in certain situations，can spell Road Rage．（1）这是个简单句。在主语和谓语之间插人了过去分词短语combined in certain situations，添加了连词when，过去分词短语部分可以改为时间状语从句，即when they are combined in certain situations。（2）句子大意：这些因素在某些情况下结合在一起时，就会产生“路怒症”。场景模拟1【Sample 1】
The payroll register constitutes the treasurer department's authority to pay the employees．Payment is usually made in the form of a check drawn on the company's regular bank account．Pre-numbered payroll checks should be used，and there should be independent verification of the agreement of the checks with the payroll register in detail and in total．
Payroll checks should be distributed directly to employees，on proper identification，by treasurer's department personnel．The checks should not be returned to payroll for distribution since the payroll department would then have control over both preparing and paying the payroll．Alternatively，payroll checks may be deposited directly in the employee's checking account．
Payment of employees in cash is the exception rather than the rule．This form of payment is more easily influenced by errors，irregularities，and robbery than payment by check．Following payment，check numbers are entered on the register，the preparation and payment of the payroll are programmed on a computer．
A termination notice should be issued by the personnel department on the completion of an individual's employment with the company．Copies of the termination authorization should be sent to the employee's supervisor and to payroll，and a copy should be filed in the employee's personnel record．The proper execution of this function is vital in preventing terminated employees from continuing on the payroll．The subsequent diversion of such payroll checks to an unauthorized individual has been responsible for many payroll cheat through the years．
Every company is expected to fulfill the legal requirements relevant to the filing of payroll tax returns and the payment of the resulting taxes．Ordinarily，the payroll department prepares the tax returns and a check is issued through the guarantor system in payment of the taxes．The responsibility for the filing of returns before due dates should be assigned to a payroll department supervisor．Furthermore，there should be independent verification within that department of the accuracy and completeness of the return．Effective control over tax returns is necessary to avoid penalties for late or incorrect filings．
1．Payroll checks should be _____．A．identified by treasurer's department personnelB．distributed to employees by the company's bankC．sent to employees directly and responsibly by postD．deposited regularly in the employee's account
2．Which of the following statements may NOT be the weakness of payment in cash？A．It's easily affected by mistakes．B．It may be distributed irregularly．C．There is possibility of robbery．D．It can be done conveniently．【参考答案及解析】
1．A。【解析】不完整的陈述句式。题干意为“薪资支票应该如何”。根据线索词payroll checks定位到第二段第一句，意为“依据正确的身份证明，财务部门人员应将工薪支票直接发放给员工”。因此A符合题意，故选A。
2．D。【解析】排除式。题干意为“下列哪项不是现金支付工资的缺点？”快读阅读选项，根据题干线索词payment in cash定位到第三段第二句“This form of payment is more easily influenced by errors，irregularities，and robbery than payment by check”，其中的errors，irregularities和robbery分别对应A项、B项和C项。故选D。场景模拟2【Sample 2】
“Clean your plate！”and“Be a member of the clean-plate club！”Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent．Often，it's accompanied by an appeal：“Just think about those starving orphans in Africa！”Sure，we should be grateful for every bite of food．Unfortunately，many people in the US take a few too many bites．Instead of saying“clean the plate”，perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow．
According to news reports，US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies．A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer，with two to four times the amount recommended by the government，according to a USA Today story．Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that．They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little．
Barbara Rolls，a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University，told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s，the same time that the American waistline began to expand．
Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions．Now，apparently，some customers are calling for this too．A restaurant industry trade magazine reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believed restaurants serve portions that are too large；23 percent had no opinion；20 percent disagreed．But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions．Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions．But only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller．
It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthily．It's just that after long hours at low-paying jobs，getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal．They live from paycheck to paycheck，happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents．
1．Why do American restaurants serve large portions？A．Because Americans associate quantity with value．B．Because Americans have big bellies．C．Because Americans are good eaters．D．Because Americans are greedy．
2．Which of the following is NOT true of working class Americans？A．They work long hours．B．They live from paycheck to paycheck．C．They don't want to be healthy eaters．D．They want to save money for children．【参考答案及解析】
1．A。【解析】问句式。题干问的是“美国饭馆为什么饭菜给得多？”，定位到文章第二段第三句“Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that”，即美国人在传统上把东西的价值跟数量联系在一起，因此大多数的饭馆给的量大。故选A。
2．C。【解析】排除式。题干问的是“下面哪种说法不符合美国工人阶级的实际情况？”，浏览各个选择项，然后定位到最后一段。根据最后一段首句“It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthily．”，可知美国工人不是不想成为吃得健康的人。故选C。场景模拟3【Sample 3】
Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny．According to this ideology，basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes．These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life．Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally．Thus，they are naturally suited，much more so than men，to the performance of domestic duties．A woman's place，under normal circumstances，is within the protective environment of the home．Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles，such as wife and mother and homemaker．On the other hand，men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics，where serious responsibilities must be taken on．Men are to be the providers；women and children are“dependents”．
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex．It is thus appropriate for women，not men，to be employed as nurses，social workers，elementary school teachers，household helpers，and clerks and secretaries．
These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role．Informal distinctions between“women's work”and“men's work”in the labor force，according to the ideology，are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes．Finally，the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way．For the human species to survive over time，its members must regularly reproduce．Thus，women must，whether at home or in the labor force，make the most of their physical appearance．
So goes the ideology．It is，of course，not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex defined roles in social life．There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society，and those role differences that to exist are largely learned．
But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society，sex defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable．
1．Women's place，some people think，is within the protective environment of the home because _____．A．women can provide better care for the childrenB．women are too weak to do any agricultural work at allC．women are biologically suited to domestic jobsD．women can not compete with men in any field
2．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A．The division of sex defined roles is completely unacceptable．B．Women's roles in work are too limited at present．C．In one society，men might perform what is considered women's duties by another．D．Some of the women's roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by men．【参考答案及解析】
1．C。【解析】不完整的陈述句式。题干问的是“某些人认为，女性的位置应该是在家庭环境的保护之下，原因是什么？”，根据线索词women's place，protective environment等可以定位到第一段第六句，其后面一句“Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles，such as wife and mother and homemaker．”，解释了原因，这里nature has determined对应biologically。故选C。
2．A。【解析】排除式。此题也是是非判断题。浏览四个选项，再回到文章中，定位到最后一段最后一句，意为“…性别定义的角色被认为是完全可以接受的”。故选A。周二 Section A中的推理题题型分析
推理题主要考查考生理清上下文逻辑关系的能力，领悟阅读材料中句子之间的逻辑关系，并且在理解原文所直接陈述的观点或事实的基础上，进行合乎逻辑的推理，领悟作者的言外之意、观点、写作意图和态度。同等学力申硕考试中出现的推理题可以分为以下几类：
1．细节推理题
针对细节的推断，有时可能是某一句话的正确理解或释义，有时可能是从某一句中推出未知的事实。题干中常出现infer，imply，suggest，deduce，indicate，conclude，team，know等词汇。常见命题模式如下：
It can be inferred from the first/last paragraph that _____．
It is implied（indicated/suggested）in the passage/the first/second/...paragraph that _____．
We can infer（assume/deduce）that _____．
The author indicates in the passage that _____．
It can be concluded from the passage that _____．
By...the author implies（suggests/indicates）that _____．
2．态度语气推理题
语气可以分为客观和主观两种。如果文章报道的是某种事实，说明某个问题、事理或物品，即就事论事，这类文章多半是客观性的叙述，使用的是客观性语气。如果文章表达的是作者的某种倾向、看法和态度或隐含作者的某种情绪，这类文章就具有主观性，使用的是主观性语气。常见命题模式如下：
The tone of the passage can be described as _____．
What is the tone of the passage？
Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards ...？
The author's tone in the passage is _____．
The author seems to think/agree that _____．
3．写作意图推理题
一般来说，作者的写作意图主要有告知读者某些信息（to inform readers），使读者愉悦（to entertain readers），说服读者接受某种观点（to persuade readers）三种情况。该题需要考生在把握文章某段落细节或全文内容的基础上对作者写作意图进行推理判断。常见命题模式如下：
考查某处细节的写作意图：
The author uses the example of ... to show that _____．
The author uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to _____．
...are mentioned in the first paragraph to _____．
考查全文的写作意图：
The author writes this passage in order to _____．
In writing the passage，the author intends to _____．
The author's purpose of writing this passage is to _____．
What is the purpose of writing this article？解题技巧
1．细节推理题
针对细节的推断，首先应该在文中找到问题涉及的有关信息，找出关键词，在确定了推理依据的范围之后，仔细阅读并吃透文章的意思，然后再进行推断。
2．态度语气推理题
解此类题必须根据不同文章的文体特点、文章的主题思想以及一些关键的句式或词汇标记来确认答案。比如，说明文中，作者的态度是客观的（objective）或中立的（neutral），而在议论文中，作者的观点会显得多种多样。考生首先要注意到文章中一些带有感情色彩的词，通过这些带有感情色彩的词可以推测出作者对所论述问题的态度。其次，要注意作者对文章所论述问题的客观描述，通过这些描述推测出作者对其的看法和态度。
常用的选项有以下词汇：optimistic（乐观的），pessimistic（悲观的），approval（赞成的），disapproval（不赞成的），positive（积极的），negative（消极的），neutral（中立的），compromising（折中的），indifferent（漠不关心的），objective（客观的），sarcastic（讽刺的），suspicious（怀疑的），sympathetic（同情的），critical（批评的）等。
3．写作意图推理题
作者写文章的三种目的，对应文章的不同体裁。第一种告知读者某些信息（to inform readers），多见于科普类、新闻报道类、文化类或社会类的文章。阅读时有必要找准文章的主题句，或较好地对主题加以归纳。第二种使读者愉悦（to entertain readers），常见于个人经历或故事类的文章，多为叙述文体。第三种说服读者接受某种观点（to persuade readers），常见于广告或议论文。广告是作者要推销一种产品或一种服务，或是通过对报刊杂志、影片等介绍吸引更多读者或用户；议论文则是说服读者接受或赞同某一观点。
选项中常出现以下词汇：tell（讲述），explain（解释），prove（证明），demonstrate（举例说明），analyze（分析），advise（劝告），persuade（劝说），comment（评论），praise（赞
