细节88阅读理解之常识理解

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

这里所说的“普通常识”，主要包括同学们作为中学生所应该具备的生活常识（如酒后不能驾车），应该掌握的文化背景（尤其是英美文化背景），应该学会的逻辑推理（包括各种常见的逻辑关系），应该遵循的道德规范（如尊老爱幼），应该熟悉的社会热点（如食品安全），等等。有的高考命题者，或是“一不小心”，或是故意为之，时不时会把高考英语阅读理解题设置成“常识题”，即让考生无需阅读材料，只需凭常识也能做出来。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年湖北卷C篇（第一、二段）：

In todays throw-away society， dealing with the citys growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council （市议会）.

Recently， Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of （处理） about 250，000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner—largely through encouraging recycling—its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.

◇The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is _______.

A. recycling B. restoring

C. burying D. burning

C. 上面的考題你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为A。本题问的是“在爱丁堡用绿色方式处理废物的主要方式是什么”，而四个选项的意思分别是：A表示“回收利用”，B表示“回复到原处”，C表示“埋起来”，D表示“烧掉”。稍懂点常识的人都知道，处理废物的绿色方式应该是“回收利用”。

回到原文，此题的命题依据是第2段，尤其是其中的largely through encouraging recycling（主要是通过鼓励大家回收利用），与选项A意思相同。

细节89阅读理解之细节识别

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

有时高考阅读理解会出现这样的情况，试题与原文材料一模一样，或几乎一模一样，考生只需根据试题中的选项信息在原文材料中找到对应的句子，不需要作任何的词义转换或逻辑推断，就可以轻松地确定答案。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年湖南卷A篇（第四、五段）：

Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner， the restaurant still attracts all customers especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.

A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics， watching news events on TV， drinking a black tea known as Persian chai， and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plate piled with food.

◇ What activity is also mentioned apart from dining in the restaurant?

A. Watching news events on TV.

B. Drinking a kind of black coffee.

C. Reading local English newspapers.

D. Discussing world topics in low voices.

C. 上面的考题你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为A。命题依据即整个第5段中的内容。比较四个选项：选项A为原文中的现成信息（未作任何改动），自然就是正确答案；选项B与原文中的 drinking a black tea 极为相似，但将原文中的 black tea 改成了 black coffee；选项C与原文中的 reading local Persian newspapers极为相似，但将原文中的 Persian newspapers 改成了English newspapers；选项D与原文中 talking loudly about world topics 相似，但将原文中 talking loudly 改成了 in low voices，可排除。

细节90阅读理解之同义转换

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

所谓同义转换，指的是命题者在针对阅读材料中的某一细节命题时，既不像命制细节识别题那样，直接用材料中的词或短语用作选项，也不像命制细节理解题那样，要求考生对找到的命题依据（或命题出处）作出正确的理解，然后再判断答案，而是用与原文材料中的同义词或同义短语进行命题。考生只要能找到其中的同义关系，就可以很轻松地做出考题。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年北京卷C篇（第二段）：

On occasion， I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom， I have a rule—no laptops， iPads， etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class， some of them were not happy.

◇ Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with _______.

A. the course material B. others misuse of technology

C. discussion topics D. the authors class regulations

C. 上面的考題你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为D。命题依据是：When students were told my rule in advance of the class， some of them were not happy. 此句中的 rule 与选项中的 regulation 同义，均表示“规定”，属典型的同义转换。

细节91阅读理解之细节理解

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

细节理解是高考英语阅读理解的一个命题重点，它指的是针对文章的某个细节进行设题。这类题的命题方法是：先在阅读材料中确定命题的具体细节（一般是一个或几个句子），然后将这个（这些）具体的细节进行一定的语义转换，变成考查的试题。解答这类试题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干或选项中的线索词从原文中找到相关的句子，通过分析和比较，从而确定一个最佳答案。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年湖南卷A篇（第六、七段）：

The variety of food at the restaurant is limited， but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10， so not only is it affordable but practical as well.

The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy， made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill （烤肉架）.

◇ The food of the restaurant .

A. is served in small amounts B. is rather expensive

C. is rich in variety D. is very healthy

C. 上面的考题你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为D。命题依据是：The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy， made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill. 其意为：“餐馆的食物特别受那些具有健康意识的食客的欢迎，因为每道菜都非常有益于健康……”由此可确定答案为D。

至于其他三项，可以根据文中的以下信息进行排除：

（1） 第六段：The variety of food at the restaurant is limited（餐馆食物的品种不多），由此可排除选项C。

（2） 第六段：but the amount of each dish is fairly large（但是每道菜的量相当大），由此可排除选项A。

（3） 第六段：Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10， so not only is it affordable but practical as well（大多数饭菜都可供两个人吃，而价格不到10美元，可称得上是物美价廉），由此可排除选项B。

细节92阅读理解之是非判断

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

是非判断题其实就是细节识别题、同义转换题、细节理解题的一种综合。是非判断题的一般命题模式是：

Which of the following is true according to...

Which of the following is not true according to...

这类考题的选项通常会包含四个不同的细节，同学们在做题时，既可以从原文中找到正确答案的命题依据，确定正确答案；也可以从原文中找到干扰选项的命题依据，在确定干扰选项与原文的相悖之处后，排除干扰选项。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年四川卷A篇（第二段）：

Some people enjoy shopping， smoking， food， work， or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows， surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years， I have learned its okay to just say “no.” I shouldnt feel sorry for refusing food that I dont want to eat.

◇ Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

A. She doesnt like others politely.

B. She likes to make others surprised.

C. Others dont understand what she does.

D. Others try to help her by offering her food.

C. 上面的考题你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为C。命题依据是：Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake. 这句话的意思是：有些人因看见我在城里跑步而摇头，有些人则因要我尝一口他们的祖母做的巧克力蛋糕时被我拒绝了而受到伤害。由此可知，人们对作者的做法不理解，即答案选C。

细节93阅读理解之数字计算

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

一般说来，数字计算题主要涉及年代、人物年龄、价格或费用等方面的数字计算。做这类题时，同学们首先要根据阅读材料中给出的有关数字信息，理清各个数字之间的关系，然后根据试题要求确定要用于计算的数字，最后确定计算方式（比如是用加法还是减法等）。值得注意的是，用于设置数字计算题的阅读材料有时会出现多处数字，有些是与考题有关的，有些则是与考题无关的，所以在进行数字计算之前，选准用于计算的数据就变得非常重要了。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年陕西卷B篇（第四段）：

In 1918， Irene became her mothers assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924， Frederic Joliot joined the Institute， and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

◇When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?

A. In 1932. B. In 1927.

C. In 1897. D. In 1926.

C. 上面的考題你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为A。命题依据是：Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later. 这句话的意思是“他们的女儿于1927年出生，5年后他们又生了个儿子”。显然1927年的5年后是1932年。

细节94阅读理解之先后排序

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

所谓先后排序，就是指命题者要求考生根据所读材料的内容，对材料中所涉及的动作、事件、过程、原理等按照一定的顺序进行排列。在通常情况下，这类先后排序考题主要涉及先后顺序，但有时也可能涉及按方向、大小、多少、重要性等的排序。每种“排序”又可能包括多种可能性，如按“多少”排序，可能涉及人数的多少、费用的多少、阅读量的多少、考试分数的多少等等。所以考生在做这类题时，首先要确定排序的方式，再从原文中找到相应的命题依据，然后根据题目要求确定答案。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年山东卷D篇（第五段）：

The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp（头皮） and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.

◇ Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?

A. scalp → computer → cap → wheelchair

B. computer → cap→ scalp → wheelchair

C. scalp → cap→ computer → wheelchair

D. cap → computer → scalp → wheelchair

C. 上面的考题你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为C。此题看似简单，其实很容易出错。许多同学只知道从原文寻找现成的信息，然后进行一一对应。对于此题而言，从表面上看，cap 出现在scalp 之前，但正确答案C中的 cap 出现在 scalp 之后，这是许多同学不理解的。

此题的命题依据是：This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp（头皮） and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. 其意为：戴在头上的东西（即帽子）从头皮上收到信号，然后将信号传给电脑。再然后电脑解释这些信号，并给电动轮椅发出指令。如果同学们能这样把句子读懂并翻译出来，问题就变得容易多了。

本题要求排序的是“信号的传递路径”（the path of the signals），而不是整个过程的动作流程，所以不能把“帽子”放在最前面（尽管上面句子中 the head cover 出现在 scalp 前面，注意 the head cover 是 cap 的另一说法）。由于“信号”（signals）的流向是从“头皮”（scalp）开始的，所以文中说“帽子从头皮获取信号”其实是指“信号传给帽子”，然后由帽子传给电脑，也就是说 scalp 要放在 cap 之前。弄清了这一点，答案就很明显了。

细节95阅读理解之词义猜测

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

词义猜测是高考英语阅读理解的一个常见的考点。这类试题主要考查考生在不使用词典的情况下根据背景材料和上下文等线索推测文中某些词、短语或句子的确切含义。这类试题包括对生词词义的猜测（包括熟悉单词陌生意义的猜测）、特定短语或句子语义的推测、代词（如it， they， them等）确指对象的判断等。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

（1） 以下内容摘自2011年重庆卷A篇（第一段）：

There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers， he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one， which had seen many years of service， but was now past its best.

◇What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?

A. Dirty. B. Dark.

C. Worn-out. D. Plain-looking.

（2） 以下内容摘自2011年湖南卷B篇（第六段）：

He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember， he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever， he died suddenly in his early 50s.

◇The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to the fathers _______.

A. weak heart B. taking a shore job

C. failure to return to sea D. injury caused by a torpedo

C. 上面的考題你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

（1） 答案为C。命题依据是：One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one. 其句意为：一个是光亮亮的新桶，另一个则是又旧又 dilapidated 的桶。显然，前后两句为对比关系，由于前面一句中的 shiny 和 new 都是强调“新”，所以后面一句中的 old 和 dilapidated 应该都是强调“旧”。在四个选项中，只有C符合此意。worn-out 的意思是“磨损的”“破旧的”。

（2） 答案为A。命题依据是：For as long as I can remember， he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever， he died suddenly in his early 50s. 注意后面的 Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. 这两句都是承接前面的he had a weak heart 而来的，事实上，两句中的it都是指weak heart。

细节96阅读理解之写作手法

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

考查写作手法的考题不是很多，但每年仍然会有一些省市的考题涉及此类考点。从历年高考英语阅读理解对写作手法的考查情况来看，涉及写作手法的考点主要涉及以下几类（括号内的短语是高考题中可能出现的表达，请注意强记一下）：

分类法（by classification）

比较法（by comparison， by making comparisons， by examining differences）

对比法（by contrast）

举例法（by example， by examples， by providing examples）

程序法（by process）

因果法（by cause and effect）

定义法（by definition）

时序法（by following the order of time， by following the time order）

重要性法（by importance， by following the order of importance）

分析原因法（by analyzing cause）

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2009年陕西卷C篇（第三段）：

Unfortunately， not all of Moms advice passed the test of medical studies. For example， generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well， yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.

◇The author develops the third paragraph mainly _______.

A. by cause and effects B. by order in space

C. by order in time D. by examples

C. 上面的考題你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为D。根据此段中的 For example 可知，作者是通过举例来说明其观点的。

细节97阅读理解之主旨大意

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

考查文章主旨大意的归纳是高考英语一个非常重要的考点，每年必有，每省必有。主旨大意题主要考查学生对所读材料（或所读材料片断）中心思想的概括。做这类题时，考生应通读全文，把握文章的大意或中心思想，同时注意文章的主题句，因为主题句表达中心思想，其他句子均围绕主题句进行展开。主题句通常位于文章的第一段首句、第一段末句或全文末句等地方，但位于段落中间（通常是第一段或最后一段的中间）也是完全可能的。归纳主旨大意的考查形式很多，如归纳主题、段意、中心思想等。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年安徽卷D篇（最后一段）：

The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde， a famous Irish writer， once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence， Ireland has revived（复兴） its own culture of music， language， literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin， whistles， etc.

◇The last paragraph is mainly about _______.

A. the Irish character B. Irish culture

C. Irish musical instruments D. a famous Irish writer

C. 上面的考题你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为B。命题依据：Ireland has revived its own culture of music， language， literature and singing. 从其中的 culture of music， language， literature and singing可以看出，music， language， literature， singing 等都属于 culture（文化）的范畴。而本段提到的作家 Oscar Wilde 以及 other kinds of Irish music 等也都属于 culture。由此可见，本段落主要介绍爱尔兰的文化。

细节98阅读理解之标题概括

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

概括文章标题是阅读理解中难度较大的一类题型，它一般要考生在通读全文的基础上，把握作者的写作意图以及文章总体意思，然后用比较精练的几个单词概括文章中心和主旨。高考对概括文章标题的考题一般有以下几种设题思路：根据文章主题句概括标题，归纳文章中心概括标题，结合文章内容和写作风格概括标题等。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2011年安徽卷D篇（全文）：

Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer（征服） Ireland. For hundreds of years， the Irish people fought against the English. Finally， in 1921， the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland， in the north， is part of the United Kingdom. The republic of Ireland， in the south， is an independent country.

In the 1840s the main crop， potatoes， was affected by disease and about 750，000 people died of hunger. This， and a shortage （短缺） of work， forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA， the UK， Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems， the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.

For many years， the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today， many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside， where things move at a quieter and slower pace.

The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde， a famous Irish writer， once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence， Ireland has revived（復兴） its own culture of music， language， literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin， whistles， etc.

◇What can be the best title for the text?

A. Life in Ireland B. A very difficult history

C. Ireland， past and present D. The independence of Ireland

C. 上面的考题你会做吗？若需要幫助，请看下文分解：

答案为C。文章共四段，其主要内容如下：

第1段主要讲爱尔兰的历史，从16世纪开始一直到爱尔兰被迫分裂为两个部分（Northern Ireland 和 the Republic of Ireland）。其实，本段第1句话 Ireland has had a very difficult history 就是本段的中心句。

第2段主要讲19世纪40年代发生在爱尔兰的灾害。这些灾害不仅直接导致了大约750000人死亡，而且还使许多人背井离乡，移居他国。

第3段主要讲现代爱尔兰人的生活——虽然许多爱尔兰人现在仍然生活在农村，但已有越来越多的人开始进城找工作。

第4段主要讲爱尔兰人的文化，包括他们的音乐、语言、文学等。

综合本文四个段落的意思，同时比较四个选项，显然只有C最合适。其余三项的内容虽然也在文章中有所体现，但由于那不是全文的主要内容，都不能用作标题。

细节99阅读理解之推理判断

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

推理判断题通常要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义。推理判断题属于主观性极强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，要严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措辞、态度和语气，找出能够表现作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。此时应特别注意：当问及作者的看法、意图与态度时，不要误认为是在问“你”（考生）的想法。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

（1） 以下内容摘自2011年北京卷A篇（第二段）：

In the essay， I wrote about my desire to skydive， stating Gorge Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009， they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldnt believe it. Inspired by this， I decided to realize my dream， even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

◇The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in the essay to _______.

A. build up her own reputation

B. show her admiration for him

C. compare their health condition

D. make her argument persuasive

（2） 以下内容摘自2011年全国卷II E篇（第三、四段）：

“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen.” Present in the audience（观众） that day were: her mother and father， older brother， her friends， and her dance teacher.

Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there， AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete（比赛）. “Shes always been my role model. Ive danced with her since I was six. Shes been through so many difficulties and came through them all. Ive learned to get over bad lifes experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”

◇Shelley takes her dance teacher as a role model mainly because she is _______.

A. determined B. friendly

C. strict D. experienced

C. 上面的考题你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

（1） 答案为D。命题依据：I wrote about my desire to skydive， stating Gorge Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. 这几句话的意思是：在文章中，我写到了自己想进行高空跳伞的想法，并提到Gorge Bush Sr.在80岁的时候还做到了，我为什么不行？我才刚刚84岁，而且身体非常好。根据常识可知，84岁高龄的人参加高空跳伞通常会遭到亲人和朋友的反对（而且本段材料的最后一句话也证明了这一点）。作者为了强调自己能顺利完成高空跳伞，所以就将80岁高龄的Gorge Bush Sr.曾进行过的高空跳伞作为例子来证明自己也能行。比较四个选项，显然只有D最合适。

（2） 答案为A。命题依據是：Shes always been my role model. Ive danced with her since I was six. Shes been through so many difficulties and came through them all. Ive learned to get over bad lifes experiences and learned how to move on because of her. 一般说来，被当作榜样的人一定有某些特别的优秀品质。上面这段提到的可供 Shelley 学习的“优秀品质”有through so many difficulties and came through them all，在四个选项中，显然只有A表达的含义与之最接近。

细节100阅读理解之文章出处

A. 这个细节你熟悉吗？若不熟悉，下面为你解说：

推断文章出处是高考英语阅读中一个比较常见的考点。主要考查考生能否从内容特点、文体特点、语言风格等判断出所读文章的具体出处。比如，如果所读材料具有较强的时效性或新闻性，则可能出自新闻报道；如果所读材料侧重历史事实，且措辞严谨，则可能出自历史教科书；如果所读材料中涉及工作要求、工资待遇、联系电话等，则可能出自招聘广告；如果所读材料轻松、休闲，则可能出自旅游杂志或休闲杂志；等等。

B. 这样的知识点高考会考吗？你若怀疑，下面为你验证：

以下内容摘自2009年全国卷II E篇（全文）：

Its only 4 hours flying time from Sydney， but a world away. What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in “Fiji time”?

Viti Levu—Great Fiji—is the largest island. Here youll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi. Vatoa， on the other hand， is a tiny island in the farthest part of Fiji. Then there are 331 other islands， many of them with places to stay.

With less than a million people living on islands， youll never feel crowded. And with a climate （气候） that changes only for five degrees between seasons， theres never a bad time to come.

From cities to villages， from mountains to beaches， from water sports to wooden artworks， Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost anywhere in the world.

Whenever you come， wherever you go， youre sure to see some unforgettable events. From war dances to religious （宗教的） songs. From market days to religious days. Its not just staged for tourists; its still a part of everyday life in Fiji. And any one of us can enjoy Fijis spirit by being part of the traditional（传统的） sharing of yaqona， a drink made from the root of a Fiji plant.

So why not join us for the experience of a lifetime?

◇Where can we most probably read this text?

A. In a personal diary.

B. In a science report.

C. In a travel magazine.

D. In a geography textbook.

C. 上面的考题你会做吗？若需要帮助，请看下文分解：

答案为C。本文介绍了一个非常值得旅游的国家——斐济（Fiji）。文中不仅介绍了斐济宜人的气候、迷人的景点，而且介绍了斐济的文化、娱乐，这显然是一篇关于旅游景点介绍的宣传。尤其是文章最后一句：So why not join us for the experience of a lifetime? 这是一句宣传语，与前面的介绍相呼应。比较四个选项，只有选项C正确。
