Answer 1

分析 本文為故事類閱讀，文章講了一個肥胖女孩咨詢醫(yī)生，醫(yī)生建議她減肥的故事．

解答 21---24 BDBC
21．答案B．信息歸納題．根據(jù)文章首段"Ellen Parker was worried about her health．She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs．She was soon out of breath"不難看出Ellen Parker"爬樓困難、氣喘吁吁"．由此，我們得出"Ellen Parker的健康有問題"這一結(jié)論．故選B．
22．答案D．細節(jié)理解題．答案源自短文最后一段的"I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like．"一句中．Ellen Parker到肉店去并非是為了買肉，而是要看看10磅肉究竟有多大一塊．
23．答案B．邏輯推理題．文章第一段提到Ellen Parker的身體很虛弱，最后點明醫(yī)生讓她減肥10磅．據(jù)此，我們可以推斷出她所有的健康問題皆由身體肥胖所致．
24．答案C．細節(jié)理解題．醫(yī)生給Ellen Parker提出建議后，緊接著警告說"If you don't do what I say，…you will have a heart attack．It could kill you．"可知，假如Ellen Parker不聽醫(yī)生的勸告，就有患心臟病的危險．

點評 閱讀時要學會從事情本身的發(fā)展去理解故事情節(jié)而不要只看事件在文中出現(xiàn)的先后順序．因此，無論是順敘還是倒敘，閱讀此類文章時，必須要找到它結(jié)構(gòu)中的5個W（when，where，who，why，what）和1個H（how），不過不是每篇都會完整地交待六個要素．毫無疑問，尋出這些元素是能夠正確快速解題的一個先決條件．
