5、n stolen. Remembering how angered hed been by his own loss, he resolved to return the purse to its owner.”可知，他为数不多的财产之一，他在一所废弃的房子里用的睡袋最近被偷了，他想到丢了睡袋使他多么生气，于是决定把钱包还给钱包的主人，也就是说是他自己不幸的经历驱使麦考伊去寻找手提包的主人。答案C方法2左顾右盼推理判断题在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左

6、顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。【典例剖析】When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging.There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to c

7、limb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.

8、atch fish.B. Everybody is a genius in his own way.C. Miseries come from human stupidity.D. Teachers can impact students greatly.解析考查推理判断。最后一段引用古话:“如果你以爬树的能力来判断一条鱼，它终其一生都会认为自己是愚蠢的。”接着又指出在学校里，伊莎多拉邓肯是个失败者。在舞厅里，她光彩夺目。由此可推断出，作者在最后一段想要告诉我们每个人都是独特的天才。答案B方法3刨根问底如前所述，主旨大意题或作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。在

9、解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四个可选项中，一个一个地去证实，去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目，比如“What can be inferred from.？”或是“What does the author imply in.？”之类的题目，文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。【典例剖析】McCoy was looking for a safe place to do drugs when something clearly out of place caug

10、ht his eye: a luxurious brown leather handbag. McCoy, 36, could relate all too well. One of his few possessions, the sleeping bag he used in an abandoned house, had recently been stolen.

11、ay, starting with the address on the bill found in the handbag. After traveling much of the day and finally approaching the address on the bill, he was stopped by a woman, who asked whether she could buy the purse. McCoy refused, saying he was searching for its owner. “But I am the owner,” the woman

12、 said. “Thats my purse.” A month earlier, Kaitlyn Smith, 29, a sales representative for a medical device company, had woken up to find her apartment broken into and her purse stolen. Now she came across a tall, messy-looking man holding it tightly. She could instantly tell he wasnt in good shape.At

13、Smiths urging, McCoy told her his story. Hed been in charge of a landscaping business until 2012, when a car accident left him addicted to drugs. Smith, amazed this stranger had gone to such great lengths to return her bag, asked whether there was anything she could do to help. “Im a drug addict,” M

14、cCoy warned. “I dont want to intrude on your life; Im probably gonna let you down.”Unafraid, Smith gave him her phone number, saying, “If you want to go to rehab (戒毒所), call me.” She then drove him back to his neighborhood and left, thinking that would be the end of it. Two days later, she got a cal

15、l. Smith realized that McCoy was serious about getting better, so she dug into her savings account and bought McCoy a plane ticket to Florida. While there, he would call her to let her know how he was doing. “We were getting to know each other,” Smith says. “His scared, desperate voice turned into a

16、 healthy, lively one.” After 28 days at a rehab program at Johns Hopkins Hospital, McCoy is drug-free. He lives at a residential recovery center in Baltimore, and a GoFundMe page set up by Smith has covered his rent, groceries, and incidentals. His life is back on track, all because one crime victim

17、 could understand anothers loss. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Drug-abuse Can Heal.B. Lost and Found.C. Mutual Communication Matters.D. Good Deeds Repaid. 解析主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了瘾君子麦考伊把捡到的手提包归还给失主史密斯女士，而她后来又帮助麦考伊成功戒毒的故事。通读全文，特别是根据文章最后一句话“His life is back on track,

18、all because one crime victim could understand anothers loss.”可知，本文主要讲述了瘾君子麦考伊把捡到的手提包归还给失主史密斯女士，而她后来又帮助麦考伊成功戒毒，这一切正是源于麦考伊的善行，故善行得到回报，适合做文章标题。答案D方法4拨云见日阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是与你素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交的，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。【典
