题文
阅读理解。 At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would notreply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster
Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not
understand what people were saying.
"Why did they do this?" Kate wondered aloud." I mean, you can't learn if you can't understand the
teacher."
Nadia's voice was a whisper. "I understand English. I will learn." Nadia's English was perfect.
Kate was perplexed. She couldn't understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that
moring to a new country probably wasn't the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and
unusual things to learn-all at the same time.
"There're a lot of new things to learn, huh?" said Kate.
Nadia nodded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied. "Many things people say, I do not understand. I
have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying.
For example. yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was
carrying. Isn't a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me."
"Don't worry." said Kate. "You'll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a
computer. A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer." Nadia and Kate
were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson. To Kate's surprise. Nadia
put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.
Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult, and
no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia
answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.
Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. "Some things," she said in a normal voice,
"are the same all over the world." 1. At the beginning of Nadia's first day at school, she was _____. A. disappointed

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 At f.....”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。
