Answer 1

分析 這篇短文講述了Katharine Graham一生的經(jīng)歷，從出生到結(jié)婚當(dāng)媽媽，再到丈夫自盡，一路坎坷．為了支撐起這個(gè)家，為了把孩子撫養(yǎng)成人，她勇敢地把自己丈夫的事業(yè)接過來，一開始，啥也不懂，沒辦法，只好慢慢學(xué)，同時(shí)雇用有能力的Benjamin Bradlee擔(dān)任主編，最后把他的丈夫買下的曾經(jīng)要倒閉的The Washington post做大做強(qiáng)了，同時(shí)還成立了公司，拓展了其它方面的業(yè)務(wù)，包括報(bào)紙、雜志、廣播、電報(bào)等．可以說在報(bào)業(yè)這塊，她收獲了成功！

解答 66．答案：A woman who succeeded finally throughout the difficulties．主旨大意題，這種題要通讀全文，掌握大意，這篇短文主要講的Katharine Graham經(jīng)過種種困難、磨難，最后事業(yè)終獲成功．
67．答案：difficult．填空題，這種題要結(jié)合空白處的前后文字，明白意思，理順頭緒，要做到填入的單詞符合上下文邏輯，意思通順．根據(jù)文中For many years，Mr．Graham suffered from mental illness．He killed himself in 1963．In those days，和Women were expected to supervise only their homes and children．She did not think she had the ability to do an important job．She had no training in business or experience in operating a large company． 可知，一個(gè)婦女要成為一個(gè)企業(yè)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，在當(dāng)時(shí)是多么的艱難．
68．答案：He did important investigative reportings．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中第三自然段Mr．Bradlee improved the newspaper，too．He hired excellent reporters and editors．They began doing important investigative reporting．可找到答案，但受單詞字?jǐn)?shù)的限制，要抓住主要信息，擬出答句．
69．答案：Because she was the first woman to head a major company and successfully expanded it．推理判斷題，根據(jù)文中第四自然段出現(xiàn)的句子She was the first woman to head a major American company．She successfully expanded The Washington Post Company to include newspaper，magazine，broadcast and cable companies．可知在當(dāng)時(shí)的報(bào)業(yè)界，她是一位成功的領(lǐng)軍人物．
70．答案：Newspapers are very important in our life．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)這句話A world without newspapers would not be the same kind of world．可知它的意思大概是沒有報(bào)紙的世界是一個(gè)完全不同的世界．換言之，是在說報(bào)紙的重要性．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文講述了作者Katharine Graham經(jīng)過種種困難、磨難，最后事業(yè)終獲成功． 題目涉及到兩道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，同學(xué)們在做題時(shí)，要充分結(jié)合原文和題干，尊重原文本意，切不可胡亂猜測，仔細(xì)斟酌，擬出答句．一道推理判斷題，同學(xué)們要抓住關(guān)鍵句子，合情分析，才能寫出全面的正確答案．一道主旨大意題要通讀全文，掌握大意，要分析，揣摩作者的寫作意圖，這樣才能更好地完成類似的題．一道填空題，同學(xué)們要結(jié)合空白處的前后文字，明白意思，理順頭緒，要做到填入的單詞符合上下文邏輯，意思通順．同時(shí)要注意到大小寫、標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)以及題干單詞個(gè)數(shù)的限制．只有這樣，方能呈現(xiàn)出完美的答句．
