【名師點(diǎn)睛】
本文屬于廣告類短文,所考查四題均為細(xì)節(jié)題中的直接理解題。細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)理解題主要考查考生對(duì)文章中某一些特定細(xì)節(jié)或文章的重要實(shí)事的理解能力。它一般包括直接理解題和語(yǔ)義理解題兩種。直接理解題的答案與原文直接掛鉤,從閱讀材料中可以找到。這種題難度低,只要學(xué)生讀懂文章,就能得分,屬于低層次題。
在閱讀中可以使用定位法與跳讀法解決直接理解題。定位法即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)所提供的信息直接從原文中找到相應(yīng)的句子(即定位),然后進(jìn)行比較和分析(尤其要注意一些同義轉(zhuǎn)換),從而找出正確答案。跳讀法即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)所提供的信息跳讀原文,并找到相關(guān)的句子(有時(shí)可能是幾個(gè)句子)或段落,然后進(jìn)行分析和推理等,從而找出正確答案。
以本文為例,我們根據(jù)題干中“people of different ages enjoy a good laugh”所有年齡段的人都能夠從中獲得笑聲,直接定位第二則廣告第三句This joyful show will please everyone, from the youngest to the oldest可知這場(chǎng)表演能夠讓所有年齡段的人都很開心,故選擇B項(xiàng)。
