D.thefilmGorillasintheMist【答案】C【解析】文章第一段談到DianeFossey對(duì)大猩猩的研究；第二段談到根據(jù)她的事跡所拍攝的影片；第三段談到了大猩猩數(shù)量減少的原因；最后一段談到保護(hù)大猩猩的宣傳的措施。前面三段都是為最后一段做鋪墊的，從最后一段的“Itisbeingdestroyedbyman.Wemustsaveitforourowngood.”可知，最主要的目的還是要人們保護(hù)大猩猩。首尾呼應(yīng)點(diǎn)擊添加標(biāo)題Lacrosse(曲棍球)isapopularsportinCanada.TheIndiansinCanadainventedit.Theyusedittotrainforwar.TheyinventedthisgamebeforeColumbusarrivedintheNewWorld.Peopleplaylacrosseoutdoors.Thelacrossefieldissevenmeterslong.Ateachendofthefieldthereisagoal.Thegoalisanet.Therearetenplayersoneachteam.Eachplayerhasastickcalled“cross”.Theplayerhitaballintothenetasmanytimesaspossible.Lacrosseisaveryfastgamebecausetheplayerscancatchandpasstheballatahighspeedwiththeirsticks.Playersoftengetgreatfunitplayinglacrosse.TherearemanylacrosseclubsandlacrosseteamsalloverCanada.EverynightCanadianscanwatchthelacrossegamesonTVorlistentothelacrossegamesovertheradio.AtonetimelacrossewasthenationalsummersportinCanada.TodayitisstillpopularwithCanadians.1.Thepassageismainlyabout________.A.HowtoPlayLacrosse

B。

反思：解題時(shí),考生很容易誤選A項(xiàng)。文章第二段中多次提到有關(guān)“估計(jì)”的概念,有的是“高估”,有的是“低估”,還有“精確估計(jì)”等,其目的是分析“估計(jì)的準(zhǔn)確性”,可見本段并不是介紹方法,故排除A項(xiàng)。段落大意技巧提示點(diǎn)擊添加標(biāo)題【技巧提示】概括段落大意。要準(zhǔn)確概括某段的大意,務(wù)必要知道該段的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)：如果該段是按總分結(jié)構(gòu)組織,主題句就在段首;如果按分總結(jié)構(gòu)組織,主題句就在段尾;如果按分總分的結(jié)構(gòu)組織,則主題句在中間;如果按總分總的結(jié)構(gòu)組織,我們可以很明顯地看到一段的首句和末句的內(nèi)容幾乎完全一致,正確答案就呼之欲出了;如果按并列式行文,這種結(jié)構(gòu)的段落一般會(huì)在一段中討論兩個(gè)平行的內(nèi)容,整個(gè)段落可以從中間處分開,前后是平行關(guān)系,這樣的段落結(jié)構(gòu)對(duì)應(yīng)的答案通常也會(huì)是很明顯的并列關(guān)系;如果對(duì)比各事物,那么它們的共同點(diǎn)或不同點(diǎn)就是該段大意。揣摩段落大意。有時(shí),作者可能不直接寫出主題句,而是通過各種方法暗示給讀者,這就需要讀者充分發(fā)揮想象力與判斷力,揣摩段落大意。題型2：文章大意點(diǎn)擊添加標(biāo)題

反思：解題時(shí),考生很容易誤選A項(xiàng)。文章中涉及處理和家庭成員的關(guān)系,但是確實(shí)是圍繞著文章主題展開的,也就是作者如何讓家人能夠配合過一種零浪費(fèi)的健康生活,這樣A項(xiàng)明顯是錯(cuò)誤的,需要排除。文章大意技巧提示【技巧提示】用瀏覽法(skimming)找主題句:段落中出現(xiàn)表示轉(zhuǎn)折的詞語(yǔ)(如however、but、infact、actually等)時(shí),該句很可能是主題句；首段出現(xiàn)疑問句時(shí),對(duì)該問句的回答很可能就是文章主旨；作者有意識(shí)地重復(fù)的觀點(diǎn),通常是主旨；反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的詞語(yǔ),一般為體現(xiàn)文章主旨的關(guān)鍵詞；表示總結(jié)或結(jié)論的句子常包含therefore、thus、inshort、conclude、conclusion等詞,通常是主旨。
