【答案与解析】

【要点综述】文章介绍了Jam

M

arch

（possiblybewisestphilosopherofmanagement）hasstudiedhowhumansthinkandact,”可知。

2．A推理判断题。

根据首段第一句及第2段“Theproblemisthatlearningfromexperienceinvolves（涉及）seriouscomplications（复杂化），...”可得知March认为人们高估了经验的作用。

3．B细节理解题。

根据第3段“Themoreaccurately（精确的）realityispresented，thelessunderstandablethestory，andthemoreunderstandablethestory,thelessrealisticitis.”可判断正确答案为B。

4．A推理判断题。

此题判断作者的写作意图。

从首段最末一句“hecontinuesto

tpickituplookingforquick,easylessons.”可推断出本文是介绍March所著的这本书。

阅读技巧：

夹叙夹议，叙为议服务，议为叙指导。

把握了这句话就把握了阅读此类文章的真谛。

叙述不分重点关注人物，情节的变化；议论一定看清楚作者想表明的道理。

　　答题技巧：

本篇题目由3个细节题和一道文章结构题组成，难度都不大。

细节题要求学生把握文章中的原文，做合理推断和转述。

比如57题，将unsettled理解成worried。

文章结构题基本属于送分题，要求学生作答，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。

　　56.B

　　情绪推断，较难题。

此推断题的难点在于，原文没有直接的形容词表述，要求学生通过具体的描述总结。

原文第2段Shehardlyateanythingandhadsuchanairofsadnessabouther.TherewasnothingIcoulddotomakeherhappy,itseemed.Heavenknowswhathadhappenedtoheratherpreviousowner's.划线句子表明作者同情被遗弃的小狗，希望帮助它高兴起来。

　　57.A

　　细节题，较难题。

要做对此题主要要排除C项的干扰，原文第2段Shehardlyateanythingandhadsuchanairofsadnessabouther.hardlyateanything的表述与atelittle是不一样的。

前者是几乎什么都不吃，后者是吃得少，此错误选项属于"改变否定/肯定的程度"。

　　58.D

　　原因推断题，简单题，通过原文第4段的描写可得正确答案。

　　59.A

　　问文章的行文结构，简单题，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。
