分析 本篇文章是关于青少年要如何赢得别人尊敬和信任的几点建议.首先要学会在家里帮忙做家务,即使从最简单的洗碗叠被做起.其次,要学会负责任,哪怕是自己个人卫生也要做好.最后,要学会独立解决问题.当把这些都做好的时候,人们对你的信任也就随之而来了.
解答 36.E.考查上下文的推理判断能力.前句中出现的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F选项的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼应,语义上也能起到承上启下的作用,故选E.
37.D.考查上下文的推理判断能力.前句讲你应该学会自己收拾卫生,而E选项This includes.But is not limited to,your dishes and your room."这包括在内,但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房间上"恰好能承接上文,故选D.
38.C.考查上下文的推理判断能力.本段Now that you're old enough and capable,why shouldn't you contribute to the household内容是建议青少年要学会做家务活来帮助家人.所以所填句子应该和做家务帮忙有关,而且从段落安排上看,最后一句话应该起到总结概括作用,句意:"如果你帮忙做家务,那么平时做这种家务的人会很感激.";故选C.
39.A.考查上下文的推理判断能力.由后句Whether they are basic things,可以推断前句应该出现they所替代的名词,而根据下文举的例子like brushing your teeth or doing your homework 等可知C选项符合语境,能引领下文.句意:每个人都有某些责任.故选A.
40.F.考查上下文的推理判断能力.在本段中Depending on the problem,15minutes of effort is usually a good guideline可知作者建议人们不要轻易向人求助,要在自己努力而未果的情况下去找人帮忙;故选F.
点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.
