【实用解题妙招】
一、推理判断题解题三步曲
1.定位信息：通过寻读找到相关信息点。
2.字面理解：理解相关信息点字面意义。
3.深层理解：进而理解作者的言外之意。
二、推理判断题干扰项特征
1.曲解文意
推理判断题中有些选项来自文章中的某一句或某几句话，命题者可能会利用里面的词设计出干扰项，使其看似表达了文章的意思，其实是对原文意思的曲解
2.张冠李戴
题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是其他人的观点：题干问的是其他人的观点，选项中却出现了作者的观点。
3.偷梁换柱
干扰项用了与文章中某一句话相以的型结构和单司，却在考生易忽视的地方换了几个单司，造成句子意思的改变。
4.无中生有
这种类型的干扰项往往是基本的生话常识或普遍认可的观点，但在文章中并无相关的信息支撑点。其次，这种干扰项也有可能与设置的问题毫不相干。
5.鱼目混珠
这种类型的干扰项常出现在词句理解类式题的选项中，即利用某个词或句子的字面含义代替其在特定语境中的具体含义。
6.扩缩范围。“扩缩范围”干扰法就是在选项中通过改变或去掉限制性词语，将信息的范围、程度、感情色彩等改变，从而给考生解题造成干扰的命题方法。

Reading Art: Art fr Bk Lvers is a celebratin f an everyday bject — the bk, represented here in almst three hundred artwrks frm museums arund the wrld. The image f the reader appears thrughut histry, in art made lng befre bks as we nw knw them came int being. In artists’ representatins f bks and reading, we see mments f shared humanity that g beynd culture and time.
In this “bk f bks,” artwrks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these cnnectins between different eras and cultures. We see scenes f children learning t read at hme r at schl, with the bk as a fcus fr relatins between the generatins. Adults are prtrayed (描绘) alne in many settings and pses —absrbed in a vlume, deep in thught r lst in a mment f leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds f years ag, but they recrd mments we can all relate t.
Bks themselves may be used symblically in paintings t demnstrate the intellect (才智), wealth r faith f the subject. Befre the wide use f the printing press, bks were treasured bjects and culd be wrks f art in their wn right. Mre recently, as bks have becme inexpensive r even thrwaway, artists have used them as the raw material fr artwrks — transfrming cvers, pages r even cmplete vlumes int paintings and sculptures.
Cntinued develpments in cmmunicatin technlgies were nce believed t make the printed page utdated. Frm a 21st-century pint f view, the printed bk is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-pwered e-reader. T serve its functin, a bk must be activated by a user: the cver pened, the pages parted, the cntents reviewed, perhaps ntes written dwn r wrds underlined. And in cntrast t ur increasingly netwrked lives where the infrmatin we cnsume is mnitred and tracked, a printed bk still ffers the chance f a whlly private, “ff-line” activity.
28. Where is the text mst prbably taken frm?
A. An intrductin t a bk.B. An essay n the art f writing.
C. A guidebk t a museum.D. A review f mdern paintings.
29. What are the selected artwrks abut?
A. Wealth and intellect.B. Hme and schl.
C. Bks and reading.D. Wrk and leisure.
30. What d the underlined wrds “relate t” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Understand.B. Paint.
C. Seize.D. Transfrm.
31. What des the authr want t say by mentining the e-reader?
A. The printed bk is nt ttally ut f date.
B. Technlgy has changed the way we read.
C. Our lives in the 21st century are netwrked.
D. Peple nw rarely have the patience t read.

Smetime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discvered its harbr. Then, ne after anther, Sydney discvered lts f things that were just srt f there — brad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse ppulatin. But it is the harbr that makes the city.
Andrew Reynlds, a cheerful fellw in his early 30s, pilts Sydney ferrybats fr a living. I spent the whle mrning shuttling back and frth acrss the harbr. After ur third run Andrew shut dwn the engine, and we went ur separate ways — he fr a lunch break, I t explre the city.
“I’ll miss these ld bats,” he said as we parted.
“Hw d yu mean?” I asked.
“Oh, they’re replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re nt s elegant, and they’re nt fun t pilt. But that’s prgress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and prgress are the watchwrds (口号), and traditins are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s fficial histrian, tld me that in its rush t mdernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much f its past, including many f its finest buildings. “Sydney is cnfused abut itself,” she said. “We can’t seem t make up ur minds whether we want a mdern city r a traditinal ne. It’s a cnflict that we aren’t getting any better at reslving (解决).”
On the ther hand, being yung and ld at the same time has its attractins. I cnsidered this when I met a thughtful yung businessman named Anthny. “Many peple say that we lack culture in this cuntry,” he tld me. “What peple frget is that the Italians, when they came t Australia, brught 2000 years f their culture, the Greeks sme 3000 years, and the Chinese mre still. We’ve gt a fundatin built n ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism f a yung cuntry. It’s a pretty hard cmbinatin t beat.”
He is right, but I can’t help wishing they wuld keep thse ld ferries.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Sydney’s striking architecture.B. The cultural diversity f Sydney.
C. The key t Sydney’s develpment.D. Sydney’s turist attractins in the 1960s.
33. What can we learn abut Andrew Reynlds?
A. He ges t wrk by bat.B. He lks frward t a new life.
C. He pilts catamarans well.D. He is attached t the ld ferries.
34. What des Shirley Fitzgerald think f Sydney?
A. It is lsing its traditins.B. It shuld speed up its prgress.
C. It shuld expand its ppulatin.D. It is becming mre internatinal.
35. Which statement will the authr prbably agree with?
A. A city can be yung and ld at the same time.
B. A city built n ancient cultures is mre dynamic.
C. mdernity is usually achieved at the cst f elegance.
D. Cmprmise shuld be made between the lcal and the freign.

During an interview fr ne f my bks, my interviewer said smething I still think abut ften. Annyed by the level f distractin(干扰)in his pen ffice, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at the cwrking space acrss the street — s I can fcus”. His cmment struck me as strange. After all, cwrking spaces als typically use an pen ffice layut(布局). But I recently came acrss a study that shws why his apprach wrks.
The researchers examined varius levels f nise n participants as they cmpleted tests f creative thinking. They were randmly divided int fur grups and expsed t varius nise levels in the backgrund, frm ttal silence t 50 decibels(分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between mst f the grups were statistically insignificant; hwever, the participants in the 70 decibels grup — thse expsed t a level f nise similar t backgrund chatter in a cffee shp — significantly utperfrmed the ther grups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that ur creative thinking des nt differ that much in respnse t ttal silence and 85 decibels f backgrund nise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study als suggests that the right level f backgrund nise — nt t lud and nt ttal silence — may actually imprve ne’s creative thinking ability. The right level f backgrund nise may interrupt ur nrmal patterns f thinking just enugh t allw ur imaginatins t wander, withut making it impssible t fcus. This kind f “distracted fcus” appears t be the best state fr wrking n creative tasks.
S why d s many f us hate ur pen ffices? The prblem may be that, in ur ffices, we can’t stp urselves frm getting drawn int thers’ cnversatins while we’re trying t fcus. Indeed, the researchers fund that face-t-face interactins and cnversatins affect the creative prcess, and yet a cwrking space r a cffee shp prvides a certain level f nise while als prviding freedm frm interruptins.
32. Why des the interviewer prefer a cwrking space?
A. It helps him cncentrate.
B. It blcks ut backgrund nise.
C. It has a pleasant atmsphere.
D. It encurages face-t-face interactins.
33. Which level f backgrund nise may prmte creative thinking ability?

（2024·江西萍乡·萍乡中学校考一模）The bks written and published in the 1920s remain n the “best ever” lists. Here are 4 bks that everyne shuld read.
The Great Gatsby
The themes in the nvel reflect the sudden change in the character f America itself, and in sme ways it’s amng the first majr mdern nvels prduced in this cuntry. The nvel als makes a new and pwerful cncept clear at the time: The American Dream, the idea that self-made men and wmen culd make themselves int anything in this cuntry.
A Farewell t Arms
The stry is ne f a lve affair interrupted and dgged by events beynd the lvers’ cntrl, and a central theme is the pintless struggle f life — that we spend s much energy and time n things that finally dn’t matter. Hemingway masterfully cmbines a realistic descriptin f war with sme abstract literary techniques, which is ne reasn why this bk endures as a classic.

James Jyce wasn’t the first writer t use this technique, but he was the first writer t attempt it n the scale as he did.
Mrs. Dallway
It takes place n a single day in the life f the main character, and it emplys a dense and tricky stream-f-cnsciusness technique, raming (漫游) arund t ther characters and pint f view. Mrs. Dallway is cncerned with using these techniques t make the characters clear and definite. The use f stream f cnsciusness is deliberately disrienting in the way it skips thrugh time.

Taking a secnd lk, we sptted tw greedy eyes just abve the water line. Cautiusly, we apprached it and finally culd figure ut it was a baby crcdile. Thugh alarmed, I culd prudly talk big that I had encuntered a hungry crcdile in the wild and lived t back.
Thugh I have settled back int the rutine f everyday life nw, the experience stays lng after the physical jurney ended. I have learned t face life’s challenges with a renewed utlk.

（2023上·河北沧州·高二统考期中）When we talk mre bradly f bdy language, rather than gd pstures, we can actually see the effects it has n relatinships right thrughut the animal kingdm. In particular, bdy language is used t express pwer thrugh expansive (扩张的) pstures.
Yu might knw abut Amy Cuddy’s famus Ted Talk and her incredible insights n hw psture changes ur thughts. Cuddy and her team study bdy language, particularly what they call “high-pwer” and “lw-pwer” pses.
“High-pwer” pses refer t the act f taking a psture f cnfidence, which can help yu feel mre self-cnfident, even after nly tw minutes. Typical high-pwer pses are abut pening up. Yu stretch and expand yur bdy t take up as much space as pssible. Fr example, bsses are ding high-pwer pses when they lean back in their chairs, put their hands behind their heads, and kick their feet up nt their desks. Meanwhile, peple take lw-pwer psitins when they’re feeling helpless r defeated. They clse up, arms arund themselves, taking up the smallest space.
Sme even mre recent studies tk this even further: A study by researchers frm Clumbia and Harvard Universities shwed that bdy language symblizing pwer can actually affect ur decisin-making, unintentinally. The researchers measured the desire fr risk f participants in either expansive, pwerful pses r cnstricted (收缩的) pses. Thse in the pwerful pses nt nly felt mre pwerful and in cntrl, but were 45% mre likely t take risky actins.
“This isn’t abut what yur bdy language is cmmunicating t thers; it’s abut what yur bdy language is cmmunicating t yu. Yur bdy language is changing yur mind, which changes yur behavir, which changes yur utcmes,” said Cuddy.

（2023上·四川遂宁·高三统考期中）Research has linked urban envirnments with the increased risk fr anxiety, depressin, and ther mental health prblems. Frtunately, research als finds a slutin: Visiting wilderness, even briefly, is assciated with a variety f mental and physical benefits, including lwer bld pressure, reduced anxiety and depressin, imprved md, better fcus, better sleep, better memry and faster healing.
Numerus studies have supprted this assciatin, but we still have a lt t learn. Can just walking in a frest really cause all these beneficial changes in the brain? And if s, hw? One gd place t lk fr clues is the amygdala (杏仁核), a small structure in the center f the brain invlved in stress prcessing, emtinal learning, and the fight-r-flight respnse. Research indicates the amygdala is less active during stress in rural residents cmpared with city dwellers.
T address that questin, researchers frm the Max Planck Institute fr Human Develpment designed a new study, this time with help frm functinal magnetic resnance imaging (FMRI). The subjects were randmly assigned t take a ne-hur walk in either an urban setting (a busy shpping district in Berlin) r a natural ne (Berlin’s 3,000-hectare Grunewald frest). Researchers asked them t walk a specific rute in either lcatin, withut ging ff-curse r using their mbile phnes alng the way. The FMRI scans shwed reduced activity in the amygdala after a walk in the wds, the researchers reprt, which supprts the idea that nature can cause beneficial effects in brain regins invlved with stress.
The researchers als learned smething interesting abut subjects wh tk urban walks. While their amygdala activity didn’t decrease like thse wh tk nature walks, it als didn’t increase, despite having spent an hur in a busy urban setting. “This strngly argues in favr f the psitive effects f nature as ppsed t urban expsure causing additinal stress,” the researchers write.
In any case, the new study ffers sme f the clearest evidence yet that stress-related brain activity can be reduced by taking a walk thrugh a nearby frest, just like ur ancestrs might have dne.

It was an extremely cld winter's evening and freezing fg hung in the air. I climbed t the tp f a small rise and realised that the mist was little mre than a few feet deep, and thugh it was nly a shrt climb, I fund myself cmpletely abve it and lking at a wnderfully clear view f Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated frm my cllege days spent in the darkrm int Phtshp, t achieve the black—and—white image（图像）.

I was back in my hme twn f Macclesfield t take sme winter images. Walking up a path thrugh the frest twards Shutlingsle, a lcal high pint, I came acrss a small clearing and immediately nticed the dead yellw grasses set against the fresh snw. The small pine added t the interest and I placed it centrally t take the view frm the fregrund right thrugh int the frest.
