Question

         Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it．Then he stopped，jumped out，and ran over to the director．“Excuse me，sir，but I think it’s only fair to tell you that it’s now or never if you want me in your next picture．A lot of big companies are after me．”

考點(diǎn)：故事類(lèi)短文閱讀理解

點(diǎn)評(píng)：這篇文章非常簡(jiǎn)單，先看問(wèn)題，再帶著問(wèn)題仔細(xì)閱讀短文，理解了全文內(nèi)容，很容易選出正確答案。閱讀短文時(shí)，常常會(huì)遇到一些生詞。這時(shí)，要沉著，冷靜，細(xì)心思考。首先要把整段、整篇文章看完。通過(guò)對(duì)全篇短文的理解，就很有可能猜測(cè)出生詞的大意。另外，還可以從含有生詞句子的上下文，以及句子和段落之間的關(guān)系來(lái)判斷、理解生詞以求獲得其真正含義。猜測(cè)生詞的另一種方法是，根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法推測(cè)。遇到生詞后，可從構(gòu)詞法角度分析判斷生詞。
