Dear David, My daughter will be five years old. She is happy, well

题文

Dear David, My daughter will be five years old. She is happy, well-mannered, loving and pretty. She has attended a Montessori school since she was 16 months old and has made two friends. The three girls are always together, or talking with each other. But recently the girls told my daughter that they would not play with her if she kept playing with the boy who was disliked by most of the class. My daughter always finds good things in others and insisted they play with him, too. Then one of the friends told my daughter she didn’t have straight hair and shouldn’t play with them. Then she started ignoring my daughter. My mother-in-law decided to iron my girl’s beautiful curly hair(卷发). With her birthday coming, my child decided to invite her friends to her party. When I asked her why, she said becau they were always together, but I know one of the girls will not attend her party.  I’m concerned about her. I feel lost, not knowing how to help my child. JennyDear Jenny, It’s always painful to a mother when someone hurts her child. Your daughter’s friends weren’t nice to her, but little kids are still learning how to get along with others. As a result, young friendships are often fleeting, even changing from day to day. Your daughter ems to be remarkably loving, outgoing and mature(成熟的) beyond her years. Perhaps you need to be proud of the way she treats people.Ironing your daughter’s hair won’t nd your daughter or the other girls a good message. It implies that there is something wrong with the way she is. You have no choice but to let your daughter know that one of the girls won’t be attending her birthday party. If she ems upt, remind her that other friends will be there. My guess is that she will ri to the occasion.Hope this helps.David 小题1:What’s the mother’s problem?A．Her daughter doesn’t respect other kidsB．Her daughter ems to be losing her friendsC．Her daughter cares too much about her friendsD．Her daughter doesn’t know how to deal with others小题2:When the daughter was asked not to play with that boy, she probably ____.A．thought her friends were right.B．felt lucky to have such good friends.C．thought her friends shouldn’t have said that.D．realized her friends were not popular with others.小题3:David ud the underlined word“fleeting”to show that  _____.A．kids value friendshipB．young friendships don’t last longC．young friendships are very importantD．kids are good at dealing with others小题4:In David’s opinion, ironing the daughter’s hair _____.A．is the right thing to doB．will make her more popular.C．will make her doubt the way she is.D．will help her win back her friends. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

解析

文章是两封信，一封是妈妈写给编辑的求助信，关于女儿和朋友的相处问题，一封是编辑的回信，给出了一些看法和建议。小题1:细节题：从第一封信的第二段的句子：Then one of the friends told my daughter she didn’t have straight hair and shouldn’t play with them. Then she started ignoring my daughter.可知这个妈妈的女儿正失去朋友。选B小题2:细节题：从第一封信的第二段的句子：My daughter always finds good things in others and insisted they play with him, too.可知女儿认为她们不该这么说，选C小题3:猜词题：从后面的句子：even changing from day to day.可知小孩的友谊不会持久的，选B小题4:推理题：从最后一段的句子：It implies that there is something wrong with the way she is.可知把女儿的头发烫直，会让她怀疑自己。选C点评：做题时可以结合自己的生活常识和经验，再通过逻辑推理和判断，理解文章的言外之意，从而揭示文章的深层涵义。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，即：已知部分－推论的前提，从中推测出未知部分－推理的结论，切忌妄加评论，把自己的观点当成作者的观点。

考点

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。
