Question

【題目】 Tired of seeing so much garbage along the bank of River Schie in Rotterdam Dutch artist Tommy Kleyn decided to step up and do something about it. He alone organized a cleanup of the entire bank without leaving any garbage, proving that anyone can indeed make a difference if they want to.

Kleyn would cycle past a part of the Rotterdam riverway and see so much garbage along the bank. The situation troubled him, so he decided to spend 30 minutes every day cleaning the place up, filling one garbage bag a time. And when he posted pictures of his work on Facebook, a few of his friends volunteered to join as well. In five weeks, they had a 100 meter riverbank clean and completely rubbish-free.

Kleyn's action has received great support online, and he has managed to turn it into a small movement. He has set up a Facebook page through which he challenges people to spend 30 minutes a year to fill a garbage bag with rubbish. “It feels great and you'll make a big difference," he wrote. “People are free to share their 'before' and 'after' pictures on the page. The challenge has attracted people in countries The people came from as far as China to respond with their own photos and stories!"

“I want to show how easy it is to remove rubbish," he added. “Hopefully there will come a time when makers are thoughtful and their goods are no longer wrapped in layers of plastic."

Local officials praised Kleyn's work on the riverbank and helped him raise money for future projects as well. “People can sign up to help me one day a year.

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了荷蘭藝術家托米·克萊因(Tommy Kleyn)厭倦了在鹿特丹的斯基河岸看到這么多垃圾，決定站出來做點什么。他獨自一人對河岸進行了大掃除，沒有留下任何垃圾，這證明了只要愿意，任何人都可以有所作為。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“And when he posted pictures of his work on Facebook, a few of his friends volunteered to join as well. In five weeks, they had a 100 meter riverbank clean and completely rubbish-free.”（當他把自己工作的照片傳到Facebook上時，他的一些朋友也自愿加入。五周后，他們清理了100米高的河堤，使河提完全沒有了垃圾。）由此可知，他在河堤的努力開始有了成效。結(jié)合選項，故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中“Kleyn's action has received great support online, and he has managed to turn it into a small movement. He has set up a Facebook page through which he challenges people to spend 30 minutes a year to fill a garbage bag with rubbish. “It feels great and you'll make a big difference," he wrote. “People are free to share their 'before' and 'after' pictures on the page. The challenge has attracted people in countries. The people came from as far as China to respond with their own photos and stories!"”（ 克萊恩的行動在網(wǎng)上得到了很大的支持，他已經(jīng)成功地把它變成了一個小運動。他建立了一個Facebook頁面，通過這個頁面，他向人們發(fā)出挑戰(zhàn)，讓他們每年花30分鐘把一個垃圾袋裝滿垃圾�！案杏X很好，你會有很大的不同，”他寫道�！叭藗兛梢宰杂傻卦陧撁嫔戏窒硭麄儭�之前’和‘之后’的照片。這個挑戰(zhàn)吸引了很多國家的人甚至遠自中國的人也分享他們的照片和故事!”）由此可以推斷出，Kleyn的行動影響了很多人。結(jié)合選項，故選A。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中““like going to a local restaurant at the lowest price.”（就像去當?shù)匾患覂r格最低的餐館吃飯一樣）可知，劃線詞“coupon”的意思應該類似于“優(yōu)惠券”。結(jié)合選項，故選C。

【4】文章大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Tired of seeing so much garbage along the bank of River Schie in Rotterdam Dutch artist Tommy Kleyn decided to step up and do something about it. He alone organized a cleanup of the entire bank without leaving any garbage, proving that anyone can indeed make a difference if they want to”（ 荷蘭藝術家托米克萊因(Tommy Kleyn)厭倦了在鹿特丹的斯基河岸看到這么多垃圾，決定站出來做點什么。他獨自一人對河岸進行了大掃除，沒有留下任何垃圾，這證明了只要愿意，任何人都可以有所作為。）以及分析全文可知，文章主要講述了荷蘭藝術家托米克萊因(Tommy Kleyn)一個人也可以有所作為。結(jié)合選項，故選B。

詞義猜測題是閱讀題中常見的出題形式。做這類題時，要根據(jù)詞、詞組或句子所在的語境，即上下文來判斷其意義。因此熟練掌握一些猜詞技巧是做好這類題的關鍵。比如：根據(jù)語境，根據(jù)同義關系，對比關系，因果關系等，尤其需注意熟詞生義。例如本題第3小題，根據(jù)文章最后一段中““like going to a local restaurant at the lowest price.”（就像去當?shù)匾患覂r格最低的餐館吃飯一樣）可知，劃線詞“coupon”的意思應該類似于“優(yōu)惠券”。結(jié)合選項，故選C。
