Question

7．Dear David，
I'm glad you would like to share your feelings with me．It's hardly surprising that your feelings of not being"grown up"have come on strongly at this point in your life，just before you're about to become a father．You are asking：will I make a good father？How will I cope？Should I have brought another little person into the world？Can I provide for it？Heeelp!I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy （不適） before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn't share them．
It's difficult，honestly，to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to．A hen-pecked （懼內(nèi)的） boss may feel like a seven-year-old when he's at home．But as he walks through the office door，and knows he's going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for advice，he grows into a fully mature man．And I think it's a mistake to imagine that we all feel，as we age，a kind of progression of states，from the baby to the adult．Most people feel，on Tuesday，about three years old，and on a Wednesday，around 80．I remember feeling very grown-up at eight，a time when I was weighed down with responsibility．These days，much older，I can，in the company of people I feel at ease with，feel like a young girl．
There's a common remark that"all men are little boys"，but it's not true．It's more true that men often behave like little boys．But nearly all people，at some moments in their lives，are capable of great maturity．
Once your baby arrives，you'll soon feel less childlike，or rather，less often．When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug，the adult in you will rise up to prevent it．You'll see you have very little in common with a needy child，particularly if it's looking to you for comfort and support．
Comfort yourself，David，with two truths．One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they，like you，feel frightened．And remember that people who haven't grown up don't go around talking about the fact that they don't feel grown-up．
Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one．
Sincerely Yours，
Miss Advice

Answer 1

分析 本文為書信類文章，主要就一個準(zhǔn)爸爸懷疑自己是否成熟的問題給出建議．作者認(rèn)為成熟感會隨著處境的不同而變化，有了小孩的男人會變得成熟．

解答 43．答案 B 事實細(xì)節(jié)題   根據(jù)第一段 it would be most unusual if you didn't share them可知不分享那些感受才是不正常的．所以Miss Advice認(rèn)為David的這種自我懷疑是正常的，故選B．
44．答案 C 推理判斷題   根據(jù)第二段It's difficult，honestly，to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to可知作者認(rèn)為當(dāng)你面對一些不成熟的事物時，你就會感覺自己成熟．通過后文舉的例子有一個嘮叨的妻子，丈夫在家就像小孩一樣．然而當(dāng)他面對員工時，他就會變得非常成熟．說明人們的成熟感會隨著處境的不同而變化，故選C．
45．答案 C 推理判斷題   根據(jù)第四段Once your baby arrives，you'll soon feel less childlike，or rather，less often．可知作者認(rèn)為男人有了小孩之后會變得成熟，故選C．
46．答案 B 事實細(xì)節(jié)題   根據(jù)短文Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one．可知寫這篇文章的目的是為了給一個準(zhǔn)爸爸提點建議，故選B．

點評 1、要想做好科普英語閱讀理解題，同學(xué)們就要注意平時多讀科普知識類文章，學(xué)習(xí)科普知識，積累常見的科普詞匯，從根本上提高科普英語的閱讀能力．
2、要熟悉科普類文章的結(jié)構(gòu)特點．科普類文章一般由標(biāo)題（Head line），導(dǎo)語（Introduction），背景（Back ground），主體（Main body）和結(jié)尾（End）五部分構(gòu)成．標(biāo)題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看，這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標(biāo)題，而要同學(xué)們選擇標(biāo)題．導(dǎo)語一般位于整篇文章的首段．背景交待一個事實的起因．主體則對導(dǎo)語概括的事實進(jìn)行詳細(xì)敘述，這一部分命題往往最多，因此，閱讀時，同學(xué)們要把這部分作為重點．結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并與導(dǎo)語相呼應(yīng)，命題者常在此要設(shè)計一道推理判斷題．　　
3、在進(jìn)行推理判斷時，同學(xué)們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實為依據(jù)，同時所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識．
