题文

D Graffiti is a common feature of most Western cities. The word graffiti was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses. Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life. At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using spray paint (喷漆罐). Spray paint allowed them to draw a greater area. And it also allowed them to work quickly. At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. It isn’t allowed by many local governments in America. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books. 小题1:Which is the present meaning of the underlined word “graffiti” now? A．书法 B．沙画 C．涂鸦 D．油画 小题2:How many forms of expression of city life are mentioned in the second paragraph (段落)? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 小题3:Why did graffiti artists use spray paint? A．Because they could work quickly. B．Because they could spend less money. C．Because they could paint a smaller area.

试题分析：这篇短文给我们介绍的是涂鸦的历史和发展。涂鸦是城市生活的一种表达方式，过去艺术家们用钢笔来进行涂鸦，现在他们更喜欢用喷漆罐。不同的人们对待涂鸦的态度不一样，有人觉得它污染了城市；还有人觉得它是一门艺术。 小题1:词义猜测题。根据这个单词所在的上下文意These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses.可知，这个单词的意思是在建筑物、公共交通工具等上面画画或写字，即我们说的涂鸦。故选C。 小题2:细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Graffiti, as a form of expression,可知，涂鸦是一种方式，在后面还有Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life.，hip-hop是另外一种。故一共是两种。故选B。 小题3:根据短文第三段中They turned to using spray paint (喷漆罐). Spray paint allowed them to draw a greater area. And it also allowed them to work quickly.可知，现在的涂鸦艺术家们喜欢用喷漆罐，因为这样可以使他们画画的面积更大，工作起来更快。故选A。 小题4:主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们介绍的是涂鸦的历史和发展，涂鸦是城市生活的一种表达方式，过去艺术家们用钢笔来进行涂鸦，现在他们更喜欢用喷漆罐。人们对待涂鸦的态度不一样，有人觉得它污染了城市；而有人觉得这是一种艺术的形式。故D选项的概括更为全面，其他三个选项都只是文章的一部分。

据专家权威分析，试题“DGraffiti is a common feature of most Western cities. The w..”主要考查你对  政治经济类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

政治经济类阅读

考点名称：政治经济类阅读

• 政治经济类阅读：
  该类文章时代气息浓郁，语言鲜活，但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多，长句、难句多。
  政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容，读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉，经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花，文章看完，一头雾水。
  再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨，同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
  

• 政治经济类阅读注意：
  1、要做好这类阅读，平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事，掌握一定背景知识；
  2、对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解，还要扩展这方面的词汇；
  3、阅读这类文章，要抓住文章的核心，即文章整体和各段主要在说什么，也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。

  政治经济类阅读技巧：
  针对不同体裁的文章，我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取“顺读法”，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取“逆读法”，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。
  1. 寻找主干：
  根据英语中五种基本句型结构，把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来，其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干，句子的意思至少明白了一半。
  2. 剔除从句：
  在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句，在理解时，如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解，然后把大意拼凑起来，整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
  3. 辨别分句：
  一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成，句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词，只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系，再把各层分句的意思加以连贯，整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
  4. 寻找关键词：
  如果一个句子看完，一点句意的感觉也没有，下下策就是抓住句中的关键词，通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
