21、he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that though had been returned but not recorded.

29、fore all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do.这名老师有一个学生，这个学生比别的学生提前完成功课，需要找一些难一点的事情来做。”据此可知答案是C。2B.中心思想题。本题问“你从文章中可以得知什么？”解决这种题目，我们首先要浏览一下选项的大意。A的意思是“对Bill Gates来说，图书馆的工作太难了。”B的意思是“Bill Gates毫不困难地就完成了图书馆的工作。”C的意思是“那名图书管理员太忙了，都没有时间休息。”D的意思是“Bill Gates的母亲希望他能够留下来继续做这份工作。”接着，我们要

30、对每一个选项进行判断。第二段的第四句话告诉我们，Bill Gates很快就领会了那位图书管理员的意思。据此可见A是错误的，B是正确的。文章并没有说那名图书管理员忙得都没法休息，所以C是错误的。文章的倒数第二段告诉我们，Bill Gates一家都要搬到外地，Bill Gates的妈妈并没有要求儿子独自留下来。据此可知D也是错误的。3A.句义理解题。本题问我们“He picked up the idea immediately ”这句话是什么意思。A的意思是“他快速的学会了图书馆的系统。”B的意思是“他快速的收集了图书馆的系统。”C的意思是“他快速地举起了图书馆的系统。”D的意思是“他快速地改善了

31、图书馆的系统。” 根据上面第二题的解释，我们已经知道这个句子的意思是A。4D.细节题。本题问“Bill Gates在图书馆里要做什么事情？”中心词就是“the library”，经过定位我们会发现答案在第二段。该段中间几句大意是“我又给他看了一些未归还书的书卡，其实这些书已经还回来了，但是当时并没有做记录。也许其中一些被放在错误的地方了。”据此，可知答案是D（Bill Gates要利用这些书卡找到那些书。）5C.细节题。本题问“Bill Gates对于自己家要搬到另一个校区有什么感受？”中心词是“another school area”。答案在倒数第二段，该段大意是“几周之后，我在办公桌上发现

32、了一张纸条，孩子一家邀请我去共进晚餐。在共度了一个美好夜晚之后，孩子的母亲告诉我说他们一家将会搬到另一个校区。她说孩子最关心的就是要离开图书馆了。孩子会问，谁来找那些丢失的书呢？分手时，我们真的是难舍难分。虽然在开始的时候，这个孩子似乎很平常，但是他做事情的那种强烈的兴趣使得他与众不同。”据此可见Bill Gates的感觉是C（担忧的）。Passage 4The United States is a large country.
