Question

【題目】 When you go to St. Petersburg, the number of attractions can seem overwhelming. If you’re short on time, or just want to make sure to hit the highlights, these are the top must-see sights in St. Petersburg.

The Hermitage Museum

The Hermitage Museum is one of the most important sights to see for any visitor to St. Petersburg. There you can see lots of different paintings of old masters inside the Hermitage. Prepare to come face-to-face with classic Western artists.

Kizhi Island is an open-air museum of wooden buildings from the Karelia Region of Russia. These impressive structures are made without any nails (釘子) — the wood fits together with joints and grooves (溝槽).

Peterhof

Peterhof is as beautiful as it is fun. You’ll be charged for admission (門票), but go to Peterhof when the fountains (噴泉) are working — during the day in the summer. They are shut off in winter as well as in the evenings.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【解析】

本文為應(yīng)用文。本文敘述了圣彼得堡觀光必去的四個景點特點。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Hermitage Museum部分中“There are lots of different paintings b of old masters inside the Hermitage.”可知在the Hermitage Museum那里你可以看到很多不同的繪畫大師的作品。在“the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood”中的“The beautiful look may make your eyes brighten, and the paintings inside the church will make you say ‘Wow!’”可知，也能看到美麗的painting。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“...Made famous by Alexander Pushkin (普希金), this statue of Peter the Great sitting on his horse can truly show Peter the Great’s influence on the Russian idea of greatness.”可知，青銅騎馬人是由普希金創(chuàng)造的彼得大帝騎在馬上的雕像。由此可知，騎在青銅馬上的人是Peter the Great，故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“When you go to St. Petersburg, the number of attractions can seem overwhelming. If you’re short on time, or just want to make sure to hit the highlights, these are the top must-see sights in St. Petersburg.”以及下文的四個小標(biāo)題“The Hermitage Museum”、“The Russian Museum”、“Kizhi Island”和“Peterhof”。可知，當(dāng)你去圣彼得堡時，景點的數(shù)量可能會讓人覺得應(yīng)接不暇。如果你的時間不夠，或者只是想確保看到最好的，下面介紹了圣彼得堡最重要的必看4個景點。由此可知，本文是吸引游客去參觀圣彼得堡。故選D。

文章主題和中心思想的闡述往往需要大量細(xì)節(jié)信息的支持，這些細(xì)節(jié)對于理解全文內(nèi)容至關(guān)重要，同時也是歸納和概括文章中心思想的基礎(chǔ)。命題人往往會要求考生根據(jù)不同的要求閱讀文章，以獲得某些特定的信息，或準(zhǔn)確地尋求所需的細(xì)節(jié)，并對細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行直接或間接辨認(rèn)和理解。如第1小題屬于細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Hermitage Museum部分中“There are lots of different paintings b of old masters inside the Hermitage.”可知在the Hermitage Museum那里你可以看到很多不同的繪畫大師的作品。在“the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood”中的“The beautiful look may make your eyes brighten, and the paintings inside the church will make you say ‘Wow!’”可知，也能看到美麗的painting。故選B。這種題要多點歸納，綜合事實找答案。細(xì)節(jié)理解題有時考查的并不是單一的信息，而是多處信息的整合。解答此類“綜合”信息細(xì)節(jié)題時，一定要全面捕捉相關(guān)信息，進(jìn)行綜合分析、歸納，切忌根據(jù)“一面之詞”草率地作出結(jié)論。
