Mystery (疑案小說)

"You're a smart boy. Benny's death was no accident, and you're the only who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?" The boy was staring stubbornly at his lap again.

A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, "Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn't you?"

The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, "Maybe," he said quietly.

Short Stories

She wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class. Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don't want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won't. Some mothers love so their daughters won't.

Humor

Do your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times!

【解析】

試題分析：本文是向讀者推薦了幾種不同類型的書，并分別作了簡介。有傳記、疑案小說、短篇小說及幽默，分別介紹了它們的內(nèi)容，作者及書的價(jià)格。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知，第一本書是介紹Salinger生平的書， 這本書是由Random House出版的，所以應(yīng)選D。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段可知，這本書是關(guān)于父母如何讓孩子玩得高興的書，所以這本書的讀者應(yīng)該是有小孩的父母。故選D。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段Some women are born stupid, and dome women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be.可知，這是一本用婦女自己的性格來描述她們的書。 故選C。

4.推理判斷題。Red Wolf是一本懸疑小說，由“The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers 可知，小男孩猶豫了，那接下來應(yīng)該就是幫助警察破案并逮捕兇手了。故選A。

考點(diǎn)：日常生活類短文閱讀。

點(diǎn)評：推理判斷題屬于主觀題，是層次較高的題目。它包括判斷和推理題。這兩類題常常相互依存，推理是為了做出正確的判斷，正確的判斷又依賴于合乎邏輯的推理。該題要求在理解表面文字的基礎(chǔ)上做出判斷和推論，從而得到文章的隱含意思和深層意思，也就是通過文章中的文字信息，上下邏輯關(guān)系及事物的發(fā)展變化等已知信息，推斷出作者沒有直接表達(dá)的態(tài)度和觀點(diǎn)。
