2010年高考试题——英语(湖北卷) 详细解析

D. is as natural as learning a language

65. What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?

A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.

B. There is too much discussion on studying science.

C. The style is too serious.

D. It lacks new information.

66. This passage can be classified as________.

A. an advertisement

B. a book review

C. a feature story

D. A news report

63. 答案：C

考点：

解析：题干的关键词是goal of reading，回原文定位到第二自然段，第二自然段有两处出现了关键词，一处说“The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. ”，另一处说“the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. ”C选项正好与第二处原文相呼应，题干里的goal of reading呼应原文的aim of reading，C项的express ideas呼应原文的express the information，based on what one has read呼应原文的information you have got from the text。虽然我们不可否认读书的目的也包括A和D两个选项提到的获取知识，扩大视野，但由于原文没有提及，所以不能成为正确选项。

64. 答案：A

65. 答案：D

考点：细节理解

解析：从第三段可以得出答案

66. 答案：B

考点：考查文章体裁

解析：通过阅读每段的首句，不难发现第一自然段讲本书的写作对象（This brief book is aimed at high school students），二、三自然段讲本书的写作内容（The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics …only a third of the book remains after that discussion …），第四自然段是作者对本书的评价（My other comment is that …），最后一段总结，向读者推荐这本书（I recommend it to any student and any teacher）。把握住了全文的结构，就不难看出这篇文章是一篇书评了。因此正确答案为B。
