3．When I was about 12，I had an enemy，a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings（缺點(diǎn)）．Week by week her list grew：I was very thin，I wasn't a good student，I talked too much，I was too proud，and so on．I tried to hear all this as long as I could．At last，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．
He listened to me quietly，then he asked．"Are the things she says true or not？Janet，didn't you ever wonder what you're really like？Well，you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said．"
I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin），but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself．
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it．"That's just for you，"he said．"You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Our world is full of people who think they know your duty．Don't shut your ears．Listen to them all，but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do．"
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．In my life，I've never had a better piece of advice．

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀，作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了女孩因?yàn)楸换锇橹肛?zé)自己的缺點(diǎn)，哭著去找爸爸，爸爸勸說(shuō)自己的女兒要敢于面對(duì)自己的缺點(diǎn)的故事．
解答 4．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．本文第二段第二行有一句Go and make a list of everything 含義是瑪麗父親聽(tīng)到她的抱怨之后要求她把"敵友"所說(shuō)的一切缺點(diǎn)的話語(yǔ)寫(xiě)下來(lái)，故本題選C．
5．A．推理判斷題，由第一段的第二行I was very thin，I wasn't a good student，I talked too much，I was too proud，and so on．可以知道隨著時(shí)間的流逝，她發(fā)現(xiàn)作者的缺點(diǎn)越來(lái)越多，所以選A．
6．A．推理判斷題，由最后一段爸爸說(shuō)的"You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Our world is full of people who think they know your duty．Don't shut your ears．Listen to them all，but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do．"可以知道他這樣做是讓作者更完美，所以選A．
7．B．主旨大意題．本文主要談?wù)摿烁赣H給我提出的建議對(duì)我一生的影響，所以最佳的標(biāo)題應(yīng)該為父親曾經(jīng)給我提出的最好建議，故本題選D．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 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(shí)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(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
