阅读理解 A striking new species of lungless salamander has been round living in a small stream in the Appalachian foothills of the US. The salamander is so disting that it's been classified within its own genus, a taxonomic (分类学) grouping that usually inclodesions host of related species. The creature breathes through its skin, and unusually for its kind, males and females have different colouration. Such a distinct ampbibian (两栖动物) has not been found in the US for half a century. The rearchers who discovered the salamander describe it in the Journal of Zoology.They have named it the "patchnod" salamander after the yellow patch on the animal's no. The tiny animal averages just 25 to 26mm long. They found so few of the animals that either it is highly cretive, or more likely it survives in such small, isolated numbers that it is already at the risk of extinction. "This animal is really an amazing find." says biologist Carlos Camp of Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia, who led the team which described the new species. "It is the first genus of amphibian, indeed of any fourfooted vertebrate (脊椎动物), discovered in the US in nearly 50 years." Around the world, there are approximately 500 species of salamander.Twothirds of the species are lungless, breathing entirely through their porous, moist skin. The Appalachian Highlands of the southeastern US is a hot spot for lungless salamander diversity, with species occupying a variety of moist or wet environments including living in streams, underground, among the leaf litter of the forest floor, up cliffs and in trees. "The salamander group of the US, particularly of the southern Appalachians, has been intensively studied for well over a century, so the discovery of such a distinct form was completely unsuspected." says Carlos.1. What is the purpo of the writer writing this passage?A. To tell us a find of a new species of lungless salamander.B. To tell us how the lungless salamander was found.C. To stress the significance of the new find.D. To tell us the difference between the lungless salamander and amphibians.2. Where does the lungless salamander mostly live?A. Underground.  B.

From what Carlos says, we can learn that ________.A. the new species was once discovered some fifty years agoB. the discovery was not so unusual becau they had studied it for over a centuryC. they were not sure whether they had discovered the distinct speciesD. there was no doubt about their discovery4. In what way is the newlydiscovered species of salamander distinct from other species of this kind?A. It breathes through skin.B. Its males and females have different colours.C. It lives in streams.D.

据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 A striking n.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
