10、 because many westerners have lost trust in what they eat. on the other hand, they may help re-introduce people to the kind of food that is necessary for a healthy diet. and after learning that,they wont poison themselves in the first place.this would mean radical changes in the way that people eat

25、育是这篇文章的主题, 为了进一步了解“拥有”的含义, 可以参看文章开头句子:“Helping them isnt about showing your kids how to do the workIts about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what theyre learning,”says JGary Knowles,a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, part of the Universit
26、y of Toronto段落的第一段就是一位教育专家的观点, 显然这个观点应该是作者支持的观点, 也应该反应文章的主题. 该专家说“帮助孩子不是告诉你的孩子怎样做他们的功课, 而是真正地关注他们的学习, 定期和他们交谈他们正在学习的内容”。这句话讲述了“家长应该如何在学习上帮助孩子。”。结合文章标题内容(拥有孩子的教育)判断文章应该讲述“家长怎样做才能正确地在学习上对孩子提供帮助”。“父母(家长)”,“孩子”, “孩子的学习”是文章的主题词。2 直接解题:1According to the passage, parents should help their children with the
27、ir homeworkAright Bwrong CNot mentioned答案:C。 分析: 细节题。 问题句说“根据文章的内容来看, 家长应该帮助他们的孩子做家庭作业。”利用问题句中的信息词(孩子的家庭作业)作为答案线索, 这样在文章中找到答案相关句: (第1段第1句)“Helping them isnt about showing your kids how to do the work(这里的work就是homework)该句说“帮助孩子不是告诉你的孩子怎样做他们的功课”,该句与问题句在内容上没有直接的关系,所以接着看其相邻的句子: Its about being genuinely
28、 interested and having regular conversations about what theyre learning,”says JGary Knowles,a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, part of the University of Toronto该句说“家长应该真正地关注他们的学习, 定期和他们交谈他们正在学习的内容”, 该句也没有谈到家长是否得帮助他们的孩子做作业, 而文章的其他部分没有再提到“homework(work)”,因此判断该句的内容在文章中“没有被提到
29、”。词汇:help sb. with sth. 帮助某人genuinely: adv. 真正地, 真诚地regular: adj. 有规则的,有规律的, 定期的,定时的a regular customer 老主顾2 You should read your childs textbooks so that you can teach themAright Bwrong CNot mentioned答案:B。 分析:细节题。问题句说“你应该读你孩子的课本, 这样你才能教他们。”利用问题句中出现的新信息词(宾语)your childs textbooks(你孩子的课本)作为答案线索, 顺着上一题的
30、答案位置往下找, 这样找到答案相关句:(第2段最后一句) Read your childs textbooks:If you work a few pages ahead,youll be able to help them with problems they encounter 该句说“阅读你孩子的课本, 如果你提前读几页课本, 你就能够帮助你的孩子解决他们在学习中遇到的问题”, 显然该句的内容与问题句的内容不一致, 因此判断B是答案.词汇:ahead在前;向前(= beforehand, in advance)提前ahead of 在前面;优于;胜于eg set the clock ah
31、ead 把钟朝前拨encounter:v. 遇见,碰见 (友人等)3Children should always take a book with them on the way back from school and read it aloud Aright Bwrong CNot mentioned答案:C.分析: 细节题。问题句说“孩子们应该在回家的路上随身带上一本书, 并且大声的朗读”。利用句子中的新信息内容“take a bookon the way back from school(在回家的路上随身带上一本书)”作为答案线索,顺着上一题的答案位置往下找,这样找到答案相关句: (第
32、3段最后1句)We nearly always have a book (与take a book含义接近)on the go(处在过程中);we read for at least a half hour before bedtime” (该句中没有出现另一个线索结构on the way back from school)该句说“我们几乎总是有一本书在手上, 我们在上床之前至少读半个小时的书”, 显然该句内容与问题句无关, 而文章中的其他地方也没有出现on the way back from school及其近义结构, 因此判断该题的答案为C(没提到).词汇:at least: 最少 at
33、most: 最多4 If parents show a lot of interest in their childrens study, the children will do better at school Aright Bwrong CNot mentioned答案:A。 分析: 观点题。问题句说“如果父母对孩子的学习显示出很大的兴趣, 孩子在学校会表现比较好”。 利用问题句中的新信息结构“interest in their childrens study(父母)对孩子学习的兴趣)”作为答案线索,这样找到答案相关句: (第4段)The more engaged a parent is
34、(该结构与interest in their childrens study呼应),the more the child benefit,adds Bruce Arai该句说“家长越参与(孩子的学习), 孩子就越受益”, 该句内容与问题句的内容基本上一致, 该句是观点句, 接下来肯定会进行具体的阐述:“The evidence is clear:Parental involvement is one of the most important factors in school success”该句说“证据很清楚的表明: 家长的参与(对孩子的学习的兴趣)是在学校成功(在学习上的成功)的一种最重
35、要的因素之一。” 该句清楚地说明了家长的参与对孩子学习成绩的影响,因此问题句的说法正确。 5It is very important that you let your children know you feel love and concern for themAright Bwrong CNot mentioned答案: A。分析: 观点句(提示: 重要的观点句常常在文章中特殊的位置处出现(文章开头/文章结尾). 问题句说“很重要的是你要让你的孩子知道你对他们的爱和关怀”。利用问题句中的新信息“love and concern(爱和关注)”作为答案线索,同时关注问题句中出现的修饰词imp
36、ortant(重要的),这样找到答案相关句: (最后一段最后一句)If nothing else,your children learn you care(与love and concern(爱和关注)呼应),and thats the most important 1esson you can give them” 该句中出现了问题中的两个线索结构, 因此应该是直接的答案相关句, 该句说“如果再没有了其他的,如果你的孩子知道你在乎他们, 这就是你能给他们上的最重要的一课。 ”该句的内容与问题句的说法一致, 因此判断问题句的说法正确。6. Parents must observe classe
37、s regularly.Aright Bwrong CNot mentioned答案:C。分析:细节句. 问题句说“父母必须定期地随堂听课”。 利用问题句中的新信息结构observe classes作为答案线索, 同时关注句子中的修饰词regularly,发现这两个线索在文章中都没有出现, 因此该句的内容为“没提到”。observe classes: 随堂听课observe: vt. 遵守(时间,法律、习惯等);观察,观测(天体、气象等)observe a rule 遵守规则7. Governmental support also pays a role in achieving academ
38、ic success.Aright Bwrong CNot mentioned答案:C。 分析: 细节句. 问题句说“政府的支持对孩子们获得学习的成功也起着作用” 。 利用问题句中的新信息词Governmental support作为答案线索,结果发现文章中该词并没有出现, 因此判断该句的说法没提到。第三篇TV Game ShowsTV Game Shows综合类职称英语教材One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience1.A novel call be on the“best se
