baby she was carrying, and second, tests
showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike
act, she left the hospital and treated herself
to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass
before she realized she had to grow
up
—again—and take control of her diabetes, not
let it control her. Only then did she kick

I suddenly heard an elephant crying
as though frightened. Looking down, I
immediately recognized that something was
wrong, and ran down to the edge of the

calf struggling in the
fast-rising water, and
it was a life-and-death struggle.
Her
calf was floating and screaming with fear. ……Then
with a huge effort, she
picked it up in her
trunk and tried until she was able to place the
calf on a narrow shelf of
rock.
Just at
this moment, she fell back into the river. If she
were carried down, it would be
certain death.
I knew, as well as she did, that there was one
spot where she could get up
the bank, but it
was on the other side from where she had put her
calf.
While I was wondering what I could do
next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma

wanted, the price of
them falls. On the other hand, if the demand for
those goods is
much greater than the supply,
then price rises. Of course manufacturers prefer
to sell
more goods at increased prices.

Lower Prices D. Fewer Goods, Higher
Prices

advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state
tax increases for years, finding that smokers,
especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it
* *
a shock to the industry, which
fiercely fights every tax increase.
The only
wonder is that so many states insist on closing

【考例5】 (2009安徽E) A
rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with
the total high
rainfall spreading quite
equally through the year and the temperature
rarely dropping
below l6℃. Rainforests have a
great effect on the world environment because they
can
take in heat from the sun and adjust the
climate. Without the forest cover,these areas
would reflect more heat into the
atmosphere,warming the rest of the world. Losing
the
rainforests may also influence wind and
rainfall patterns,potentially causing certain
natural disasters all over the world.
Rainforests can help to adjust the climate
because they .

(六)过度引申。
备选项虽然是从原文中推理引
申出来的,但是却超出了文章允许的范围。考生切勿过度发挥,
一切以原文为本。
【考例1】
Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like
those who are against high
tobacco taxes,
argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-
income Americans “who
choose to smoke.”
That’s true, But there is more reason in
keeping future generations of low-income
workers from getting hooked in the first
place. As for today’s adults, if the new tax
drives
them to quit, they will have more to
spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer
and
heart disease and feel better.
What
can we learn from the last paragraph?
(2009山东C)
A. The new tax will be
beneficial in the long run.

Future generations will be hooked on smoking.

reading.

is aimed at enabling the students to ____.
A.
assess their reading speed B. speed up
their reading

(七)用词常规含义代替文章的具体词义。
在英语语言中,许多词或短语存在多义的现象,考
生如果只掌握其常用的基本词义是不够的。
在阅读实践中,更不能用已掌握的常用词义去代替偏用词义,
从而导致对词或句意的误解或费解。
命题者在命制词义句意题时,就通常把要考查的词或句意的常规含义
作为干扰项以麻痹考生。因
此,考生必须根据上下文推测其在特定语境下的含义。
