解析


文章介绍了已故音乐家Deke Richards在流行音乐上的非凡成就。
小题1:细节题:根据第二段最后一句“Their hits include The Jackson 5'S I Want You Back and ABC.”和第三段最后一句“He produced and wrote for Martha Reeves and the Vamlellas and Bobby Darin”可知,他给杰克逊五兄弟、玛莎·瑞芙斯和 鲍比·达林写过歌,没有提到Joan Lussier 。故选B。
小题2:细节题: 根据第二段第一句中 “died in a Washington state hospice” 死在华盛顿的安养院里,由此可知A错误;根据全文内容可知Deke Richards与多位明星和组合合作,创造出很多流行金曲,故B项正确;根据第三段第一句中“as well as Ross’s solo track I’m Still Waiting”可知“我仍等待”是写给Ross的,故C项错误;根据最后一段最后一句中“which is to be released on 5 April.”可知作品于4月5日公布,因此D项错误。故选B。
小题3:细节题:根据文章第四段内容可知公司成立于1969年,故可知公司成立超过40年,因此A项正确;文章中并没有提到 Mama’S Pearl的歌词是否失败,故B项错误;由文章第七段可知 Richards改变Mama’S Pearl歌词,故C项错误;第八段中“The Hollywood Reporter said Richards' "love of music” kept him involved with a variety of projects”《好莱坞报道》说Richards说“对音乐的热爱让他参与各种活动”,由此可知D项错误。故选A。
小题4:细节题:根据文章第三段第一句中“Richards also co-wrote Love Child for Diana Ross and The Supremes.”Richards也和 Love Child合作为 Diana Ross 和The Supremes创作歌曲,可知A项错误;第八段中“including last year’S production of The Jackson 5's Come and Get It”包括去年推出的杰克逊五兄弟的《Come and Get It》,由此可知B项是错误的;第四段中“was set up in 1969 to create hit records for the label’s new act”成立于1969年,是为了商标法案,由此可知C项错误;第八段中“The Hollywood Reporter said Richards' "love of music” kept him involved with a variety of projects”《好莱坞报道》说Richards说“对音乐的热爱让他参与各种活动”,由此可知D项正确。故选D。
小题5:推理题:因为Deke Richards是音乐家,为多位流行音乐明星写歌,因此这篇文章最有可能出现在娱乐新闻中。故选D。

考点

据考高分专家说,试题“Motown songwriter-pr.....”主要考查你对 [新闻报道类阅读 ]考点的理解。

新闻报道类阅读

新闻报道类阅读的概念:

阅读理解的选材明显地呈现出关注实际生活的趋势,这种趋势与当前基础教育改革的目标是一致的,而中学生学习语言的根本目标与基础教育学会求知,学会做事,学会合作,学会做人的目标是一致的,真实新颖的选材对基础英语教学课程改革具有重要的反作用。

新闻报道类阅读理解技巧点拨:       

        新闻报道类类文章有一共同特点,即都是由标题(Headline)、导语(Lead)、主体(Mainbody)、背景(Background)和结尾(End)五部分构成。标题是新闻报道中心思想高度而又精辟的概括;导语位于新闻报道的首段,高度概括新闻事实;主体则对导语概括的新闻事实进行详细叙述;新闻背景是指新闻事实之外,对新闻事实或新闻事实的某个部分进行解释或补充的材料;结尾往往是新闻事件的结果或动态展望,也是中心思想的概括并常常与新闻导语相呼应。
        新闻报道中的导语非常重要,它位于文章的第一段,通过它点出新闻的主题,五个W和一个H(When,Where,Who,What,Why和How)通常是构成一则完整消息不可缺少的要素。文章往往呈现出“倒金字塔”的特征,因此读懂首句或首段至关重要。
       另外,从句的使用也是此类文章的一大语言特色,因为从句信息量大,适合新闻报道的要求。此外,大量的副词和插入语的使用也是此类文章的特点。为使文章更客观、更具信服力,常用The study said…, Scientists believe that…Experts said…, It's reported that…, According to the survey…等语言。同事在阅读过程中,我们要对材料所提供信息如when, where, who, how, why等进行提问,将信息迅速提炼出来。

新闻报道类阅读应试策略:

【命题趋势】
阅读理解的选材明显地呈现出关注实际生活的趋势,这种趋势与当前基础教育改革的目标是一致的,而中学生学习语言的根本目标与基础教育学会求知,学会做事,学会合作,学会做人的目标是一致的,真实新颖的选材对基础英语教学课程改革具有重要的反作用。时文报道就在文章中体现了这一要求。主要表现在以下几个方面:
1、反映海内外事件,文章结构严谨,内容贴近生活,用现代英语反映现代生活。
2、如果是新闻报道,都有比较固定的写作格式,如文首通常有报道的地点或时间,第一句话常常是文章的导语,有助于了解文章的大致内容和主题。
3、如果是新闻报道则是记叙文,有地点、时间、人物、事物等要素。
4、有许多大量反映当代社会变化的新词汇和表达方式。
5、命题既重细节,又重推理和主旨。
6、大背景中的小事件,大事件中的小插曲往往是选材的热点。
【应试对策
1、在平时学习中,关注生活,阅读新闻报道和广告类文章、把阅读时事文章作为学习英语的重要途径。
2、了解新的词汇和表达方式。如:tsunami海啸,MP3players(MP3)播放器,well_offsociety小康社会等。
3、抓住文章主题,准确捕捉细节和内涵,进行合理的推理。
4、品味新闻的标题,联系平时所积累的知识,为了解材料大意作铺垫。
5、了解新闻报道的特殊规律,其内容和多含何人、何地、何事、何时等,阅读时要抓住新闻的这一主要特点去理解判断。
6、要注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字,因为这很有可能是材料的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。
