Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that he she believed she had touched the other shore.When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world. 56. What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games?

She swam a ten-mile marathon and set women’s record. Or: She swam a ten-mile marathon, setting the women’s record. Or: She set the women’s record for a ten-mile marathon swimming.59.

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的) customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.56. The underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ______.(No more than 3 words)

据魔方格专家权威分析，试题“阅读表达。阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Almos..”主要考查你对&&故事类阅读&&等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：
现在没空？点击收藏，以后再看。
因为篇幅有限，只列出部分考点，详细请访问。
故事类阅读
故事类阅读概念：
这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。故事类阅读应试技巧：
1、抓住文章的6个要素：阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此，无论是顺叙还是倒叙，阅读此类文章时，必须要找到它结构中的5个W（when, where, who, why, what）和1个H（how），不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问，寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。 2、注意作者的议论和抒情：高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达，因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换，也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题，讲完一件事情后，作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线，它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图，属于必考点，所以要仔细体会。 3、结合前两点归纳文章中心，把握作者态度：故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的，它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时，尤其要分析文章的结尾，因为很多文章卒章显志，用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心；文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关；也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外，叙述一件事必有其目的，或阐明某一观点，或赞美某种品德，或抨击某种陋习，这就要求我们在阅读时，通过对细节（第1点中的六要素）的理解，把握作者的态度。 4、有章有据进行解题判断：分析文章，归纳主题，属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章，架空分析，一定让分析在文章中有依据。

BEC英语阅读中怎样回答细节性问题 在BEC考试阅读中，我们经常会遇到一些细节性问题。那么什么是细节性问题呢？细节性问题是关于Supporting Details类的问题，通过Skimming找出主题后，应进一步掌握阐述和发展主题的主要事实，或按要求找出特定细节。 在回答此类问题时，应采用查读法（Scanning），因为这些具体内容（Detai1s是用来说明、论证或分析文章中心的。这类题目常以&WH-&形式来提问，如who， what， when， where， why及how等形式。 　　这些问题的表达常不采用文章中的原话提问，而是使用同义词语等，因此，在选择答案前应首先看准题于，看清问题所问究竟；然后，在查读时注意寻找与题目相关的关键词语；最后，在充分理解原文、原题的基础上确定正确答案。 　　当然，这类细节性问题所涉及的面是很广的。有的涉及数字计算，如问时间、距离、次数、数量等，认真计算后方可选定正确答案；有的涉及正误判断，要先看选项，根据选项提供的线索，寻视文中相应部分，最后在题中选出肯定答案；还有的寻问事实、原因、结果、目的等。总之，做细节题切忌通过自己对某类知识的主观了解和认识做出想像判断，一定要紧扣文章内容，不可随心所欲。 　　细节类问题的命题方式有以下几种： 　　(1)Which of the following is NOT true according to the information in the passage? 　　(2) Which of the following is mentioned in the passage? 　　(3) What is the example of . . . as described in the passage? 　　(4) The author mentions all of the following except . . . 　　(5) The reason for . . .is . . . 　　(6) The author states that . . . 　　(7) According to the passage, when (where, why, how, who, etc. ) ... 　　Example : 　　 Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark-alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for met-al-and-plastic pump -convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadn&t. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7 , and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients (most of whom got the device as a temporary measure) the U. S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval , effectively banning ( 禁止 ) the device .　　 　　The recall may hurt Symbion Inc. , maker of the Jarvik-7 , but it won&t end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned model is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source created a passage infection. Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patient&s chest. The first sample products aren&t expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that they&11 work- and that America&s overextended healthcare programs Will lose a precious $ 2.5 billion to $ 5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures( 开支)cut into funding for more basic care , the net effect could actually be a decline in the nation&s health. 　　According to the passage the Jarvik-7 artificial heart proved to be ________. 　　A) a technical failure 　　B) a technical wonder 　　C) a good life-saver 　　D) an effective means to treat heart disease 　　本题是考核学生根据止下文全面理解和进行正确判断的能力，问的是本文论述的Jarvik-7人造心脏性能和效果到底如何。文章一开头说Jarvik-7是一大技术成就，但文章说到：&the .U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them (Line -7-9).后面又提到：Last week the agency canceled its earlier approval , effectively banning the device.这两句话提供了这个问题的答案。因此，答案： 　　The new models of artificial hearts are expected_______. 　　A) to have a working life of 10 or 20 years 　　B) to be set fully in the patient&s chest 　　C) to be equipped with an external power source 　　D) to create a new passage for infection 　　本题是考核正确理解事实细节的能力。选项已的意思与文章中第二段第三句，即&Inventors are now working&in the patient&s chest．&的意思符合，因此选项B)是答案。

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。[1] Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:[2] Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.[3] Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.[4] Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.[5] Review regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.[6] Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test.[7] There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your studying habits will improve your grades.【小题1】What’s the main idea of the passage? (no more than 8 words)__________________________________________________________________________【小题2】What should you do if you fail a test? (no more than 4 words)__________________________________________________________________________【小题3】According to the passage, how can an average student improve his/her grades? (no more than 6 words)__________________________________________________________________________【小题4】What does the word “it” (line 5, paragraph 5) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)__________________________________________________________________________【小题5】Among these suggestions, which one do you think is useful to your studies? Why? ( no more than 25 words )____________________________________________________________________________
答案【小题1】How to be a top student (Suggestions/ Tips on how to be a top student)【小题2】Don’t worry too much excessively【小题3】By improving（his /her) studying habits【小题4】The material【小题5】sevent point,Because studying habits are very important to me
解析试题分析：【小题1】主旨题：第一段是全文的主旨，适当的标题是How to be a top student (Suggestions/ Tips on how to be a top student)【小题2】由倒数第二段第二行he world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test可以得到答案【小题3】由最后一段最后一句Improving your studying habits will improve your grades. 可以得到答案【小题4】由前面的句子If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too可以得到答案【小题5】这道题是开放题：学生可以结合自己的情况答题考点：考查阅读表达点评：阅读表达有主旨题，细节题，翻译题，同义句转换题，要求学生即抓住文章的主旨又能注意细节，对一些重点的句子理解也要透彻。
