Question

4．Joan，super visor （檢查員） of the town's morals recently accused George，a local man，of having a drinking problem because she noticed his car outside the town's only bar．She reasoned，it was a logical assumption （邏輯假設(shè)）．George stared at her for a moment and said nothing．Later that evening，he parked his car in front of her house and left it there all night．
Why is it that so many of our logical assumptions are just plain wrong？And why do we want to act as if they must be true？In an age long before the Internet，a young American at a party found himself seated next to the famous Chinese diplomat Wellington Koo．Completely not knowing what to say to someone from such a different culture，this young man turned and asked，"Likee soupee？"After all，he assumed，don't all Chinese speak in broken English？Mr．Koo smiled and nodded．Later when called upon to speak，Wellington Koo delivered a wonderful talk in fluent English，sat down while the applause was still continuing，turned to the young man and whispered，"Likee speechee？"
Do you know why red roses are so popular？Men keep buying them．They assume that all women prefer red roses．But when women are asked what color of rose is their favorite，they are more likely to answer that they prefer yellow，white or peach．And when asked what kind of flowers they would prefer to receive，the answer is generally not roses at all．The age-old assumption that most women like red roses best is simply not true．
We all make assumptions．They're too often wrong and can easily get us into trouble．So here is what I've learned：when in doubt，check it out．And if I'm not in doubt，I still check it out．We may think we know．But what we know may not be so．So it's best to check it out．
64．According to the passage，we can know George isA
A．clever           B．honest        C．kind-hearted        D．bad-tempered
65．Wellington Koo's experience is mentioned to showB．
A．his talent in speaking English

A．women prefer red roses．                               
B．women like the red color best．
C．they smell pleasant than others．                      
D．men think women would like them．
67．How is this passage mainly developed？A
A．By giving examples．                  B．By presenting research results．
C．By analyzing causes．                 D．By making comparisons．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了人們的假設(shè)是錯誤的，很容易讓我們陷入麻煩，因此我們應(yīng)當(dāng)做的是當(dāng)有疑問的時候，檢查它，如果我沒有疑問，我仍然檢查它．

解答 64．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第一段"Later that evening，he parked his car in front of her house and left it there all night"可知喬治懂得用事實來反駁瓊的指責(zé)；可知他是很聰明的；故選A．
65．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段"After all，he assumed，don't all Chinese speak in broken English？Mr．Koo smiled and nodded．Later when called upon to speak，Wellington Koo delivered a wonderful talk in fluent English"可知文中舉外交家的例子是為了說明人們的假設(shè)是錯誤的；故選B．
66．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段"Men keep buying them．They assume that all women prefer red roses"可知之所以紅玫瑰受歡迎是因為男人認(rèn)為女人會喜歡；故選D．
67．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．通讀全文，可知文章用來證明自己觀點用的是舉例，舉了喬治，外交家，和紅玫瑰的例子來說明人們的假設(shè)是錯誤的；故選A．

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
