Question

Several years ago， a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker， another owned one of the largest companies in the world， and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said， “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.
The man shook his head， “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country， and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so？”
“No， I don’t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh， I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang， and the President picked up the receiver， listened and then said， ‘It’s for you.’ ”

解析試題分析：本文敘述了電視臺的記者采訪了三位重要的人物，他們分別是富有的銀行家、擁有世界上最大的公司之一的老板和在紐約市中心擁有許多房產(chǎn)的老板。記者問了他們?nèi)齻�(gè)共同的一個(gè)問題就是我們?nèi)绾沃�道一個(gè)人是非常重要的，他們?nèi)�人給出了不同的回答。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。短文對三位嘉賓的人稱代詞用的都是he，由此可知，這三位嘉賓都是男士，而從第5段的she asked可以看出這個(gè)reporter是位女士，所以總共是three men and one woman，故選B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。當(dāng)the reporter問the banker 什么樣的人才是重要的時(shí)，他回答說：I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.故選B。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country， and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.當(dāng)你拜訪總統(tǒng)時(shí)，即使外國打來的電話他也不去接，這說明是你是重要的。故選D。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從最后一段可以知道the owner of many buildings的想法，就是當(dāng)你在拜訪總統(tǒng)時(shí)，總統(tǒng)卻接到一個(gè)找你的電話，那么此時(shí)你就是一個(gè)很重要的人了。故選C。
【小題5】標(biāo)題歸納題。因?yàn)槿�者的回答都與總統(tǒng)及自己有關(guān)，故選A。
考點(diǎn)：人生百味類短文閱讀。
點(diǎn)評：文章標(biāo)題是文章的點(diǎn)睛之筆。標(biāo)題歸納題在英語閱讀理解題中屬深層理解題，它要求考生在通讀全文的基礎(chǔ)上，準(zhǔn)確把握文章大意及作者的寫作意圖。一般說來，標(biāo)題應(yīng)該具有概括性、針對性、簡潔性三個(gè)突出特點(diǎn)。其中概括性，是指標(biāo)題應(yīng)最大程度地覆蓋全文，囊括文章的主要內(nèi)容，體現(xiàn)文章的主題；針對性，是指標(biāo)題的含義要直接指向文章的主要特點(diǎn)；而簡潔性，則是指標(biāo)題應(yīng)言簡意賅，能吸引讀者的注意力，并喚起讀者對文章的閱讀興趣等。
