题文
阅读理解。 We spent the next three days based in Paihia, in the famousBay of Islands. Although Paihia is only a town, it is a good base
for exploring the northern part of the Northland. We spent one day
in nearby Waitangi, visiting the site (地点) of the first European
settlements and signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, which created
New Zealand as it is today.
On the site, there is a fantastic museum which explains the
history of the country, as well as the relationship between the
European settlers and the native Maori tribes. There is also an
excellent example of a Maori waka, or carved canoe, in which the
original Maori tribes arrived in Aotearoa, or the Land of the Long
White Cloud.
It was a great introduction to New Zealand history and culture
and would give us a good basis for understanding the Maori culture
that we would meet with as we traveled through the country.
The weather wasn't fit to sailing through the blue, island-
dotted bay, so the next day we headed across the point to the
Kauri Coast and the Waipoa Kauri Forest to see the high Kauri
trees, one of the few places in the country where these big trees
that once covered the island still exist. Standing hundreds of feet
high, with girths that would take 20 men to circle, these
prehistoric(史前的) trees were used for everything from wakas to
homes. Most were cut down, and only a few still survive. The
trees in the forest are over 1 000 years old, and walking along the
paths deep into the bush to see them was like walking through land
where dinosaurs once walked.
On the way back, we stopped in several small villages and
towns, each of which seemed more Shire-like. We had almost
forgotten that this was Lord of The Rings land, but in the rolling
green hills of the central northland, we remembered that Bilbo
Baggins and company could have lived here, too.1. Which may tell the main idea of the passage? A. A fantastic museum.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 We s.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
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。
