题文
阅读理解。 Seeing a volcano erupt(喷发) is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the beatby climbing to the summit(山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours
every day up thishighly active volcano from Antigua. Giving travelers a chance to see
Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua,a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its
old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when
you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job : it is 2,560metreshigh, and reaching the summit
takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements.
As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains
from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit :the
McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the
cone , the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old,inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time
for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔岩)and the daikening sky.
On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils ,
sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up t0 100 metres
into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the
cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side
of the volcano. For you , too , it is time to get down.1. What is the main purpose of this passage?_____A. To attract tourists to Pacaya.

日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
