15.Hobbs was an orphan(孤儿).He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money.Hard work made him thin and weak.He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures,but he did not think he could pay off the debts.
One day a lawyer said to him,"One thousand dollars,and here is the money."As Hobbs took the package of notes,he was very  dumbfounded.He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it.He said to himself,"I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do:painting pictures.I could do that for a few weeks,but what would I do after that?I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on.If it were a little less money,I would buy a new coat,or a radio,or give a dinner to my friends.If it were more,I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures.But it's too much for one and too little for the other."
"Here is the reading of your uncle's will(遗嘱),"said the lawyer,"telling what is to be done with this money after his death.I must ask you to remember one point.Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money,as soon as you have spent it."
"Yes,I see.I'll do that,"said the young man.

21.Hobbs wanted to borrow money becauseD.
A.He wanted to go to school     B.He wanted to buy some pictures
C.He had to pay off the debts   D.He wanted to learn to paint pictures
22.What does the underlined word"dumbfounded"(in Paragraph 2)probably mean?A

23.Hobbs was asked toA.

B.write down what was to be done with the money
C.tell the lawyer what pictures he wanted to buy
D.spend all the money given by his uncle.

分析 本文叙述了Hobbs是个孤儿,自己在一家工厂上班,每天很辛苦,但是钱又少,他很想去学画画,这时叔叔的律师来给他提供1000美元,他起初不知该如何花这笔钱,他想了很多方法,律师告诉他他的叔叔要求他把花的每一笔钱都必须写在纸上向他汇报.

解答 DAA
21.D  细节理解题.根据He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures,他要借钱来学画画,故选D.
22.A  细节理解题.根据He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it.既然不知道钱从哪里来,所以他感到的是吃惊,故选A.
23.A  细节理解题.根据Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money,as soon as you have spent it.告诉律师他以后怎样花钱的,故选A.

点评 细节理解题可以通过定位词解题,就是说我们在阅读题干的时候迅速的把题干中有标记意义的词或词组划记出来,然后用这个词回到原文当中定位.并不是所有的我们在题干中找到的定位词在原文中都会对应出现,有些情况下,原文中出现的只是题干定位词的转换形式.在这种情况下,划出定位词并在脑中留下印象也有利于我们在浏览文章是迅速发现文中定位词的对应形式,从而找到题目答案的位置.

6.About ten years ago,a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street.He was going a bit too fast in his shiny,black,12cylinder Jaguar XKE,which was only two months old.
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.As his car passed,no child came out,but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jaguar's shiny black side door!SCREECH…!!!!Immediately Josh stopped the car,jumped out,seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car.He shouted at the kid,"What was that all about and who are you?Just what the heck are you doing?!""That's my new Jaguar,that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money.Why did you throw it?"
"Please,mister,please…I'm sorry!I didn't know what else to do!"begged the youngster."I threw the brick because no one else would stop!"tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed around the parked car."It's my brother,mister,"he said."He rolled off the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."Sobbing,the boy asked the businessman,"Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

It was a long walk back to the black,shining,12cylinder Jaguar XKE--a long and slow walk.Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar.He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention.Feel for the bricks of life coming you.

3.Six years ago,a Miami woman walking through the hall of an office building casually noticed two men standing together.Several minutes after her leaving,the men murdered a person working in the building.Police investigators determined that the woman was the only witness who had seen the two suspects,and could possibly describe them.In an interview with police,her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear.
Several days later,psychologist Ronald P.Fisher was brought in to get a more complete description from the woman.Fisher's interview produced a breakthrough (突破)-the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects.She then recalled several details about his appearances.This information gave police important leads that enabled them to arrest the suspects and close the case.
Police investigators found the help from Fisher because of his rich knowledge in conducting the so-called cognitive (认知的) interview,a kind of memory-rebuilding process.In its original form,the cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques:thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events,reporting everything that comes to mind about those events no matter how broken or unconnected,retelling events in kinds of time orders,beginning to end,end to beginning,forward or backward,and accepting different views while recalling events.
Usually,an interviewer begins the cognitive approach by encouraging the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else's questions.The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words,with no interviewer interruptions.The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques,such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different aspects.
Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they get nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training,while error rates remain about the same.
56.What is the purpose of this passage?D
A.To give an description of a murder case in an office.
B.To explain why Fisher was invited to a police interview.
C.To describe how cognitive method helps the woman to recall.
D.To give the readers an idea of cognitive interview.
57.The cognitive interview helped the woman to recall more byC.
A.strengthening her memory           
B.giving her encouragement
C.rebuilding her memory             
D.giving her more time
58.It can be inferred from the passage that in a cognitive interview,the interviewer mainly plays aArole.
A.directing          B.questioning    C.disappointing       D.interrupting
59.What is the key point of the cognitive interview?B
A.The interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time.
B.The witness is encouraged to take an active role in recalling information.
C.The interview should take place outside the police station.
D.The witness should recall details at the scene of the event.
60.Police trained in the cognitive interview method canA.
A.get more information from the witness than before       
B.decrease the error rate
C.solve the cases more quickly      
D.use the method more skillfully than the psychologists.
