【答案与解析】

【要点综述】文章介绍了Jam

本书针对人们生活中过分依赖经验这一现象作了分析实际上是告诫人们不可高估经验的作用。

M

arch

（possiblybewisestphilosopherofmanagement）hasstudiedhowhumansthinkandact,”可知。

2．A推理判断题。

根据首段第一句及第2段“Theproblemisthatlearningfromexperienceinvolves（涉及）seriouscomplications（复杂化），...”可得知March认为人们高估了经验的作用。

3．B细节理解题。

根据第3段“Themoreaccurately（精确的）realityispresented，thelessunderstandablethestory，andthemoreunderstandablethestory,thelessrealisticitis.”可判断正确答案为B。

4．A推理判断题。

此题判断作者的写作意图。

从首段最末一句“hecontinuesto

tpickituplookingforquick,easylessons.”可推断出本文是介绍March所著的这本书。

阅读技巧：

夹叙夹议，叙为议服务，议为叙指导。

把握了这句话就把握了阅读此类文章的真谛。

叙述不分重点关注人物，情节的变化；议论一定看清楚作者想表明的道理。

　　答题技巧：

本篇题目由3个细节题和一道文章结构题组成，难度都不大。

细节题要求学生把握文章中的原文，做合理推断和转述。

比如57题，将unsettled理解成worried。

文章结构题基本属于送分题，要求学生作答，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。

　　56.B

　　情绪推断，较难题。

此推断题的难点在于，原文没有直接的形容词表述，要求学生通过具体的描述总结。

原文第2段Shehardlyateanythingandhadsuchanairofsadnessabouther.TherewasnothingIcoulddotomakeherhappy,itseemed.Heavenknowswhathadhappenedtoheratherpreviousowner's.划线句子表明作者同情被遗弃的小狗，希望帮助它高兴起来。

　　57.A

　　细节题，较难题。

要做对此题主要要排除C项的干扰，原文第2段Shehardlyateanythingandhadsuchanairofsadnessabouther.hardlyateanything的表述与atelittle是不一样的。

前者是几乎什么都不吃，后者是吃得少，此错误选项属于"改变否定/肯定的程度"。

　　58.D

　　原因推断题，简单题，通过原文第4段的描写可得正确答案。

　　59.A

　　问文章的行文结构，简单题，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。
