二、阅读理解
[图2]
主题和内容
本文围绕“儿童兴趣发掘与成长”展开,讲述了 Ellis Tang 在母亲的引导下,爱上做蛋糕并展现出惊人天赋的成长故事。
意义和价值
文章传递了尊重儿童天性、顺势引导兴趣的教育理念,启示人们每个孩子都可能在不经意间展现出独特天赋,需要成人用心观察和引导。
方式和方法
语篇类型:本文属于记叙文,以时间为线索,讲述了一个充满温情的成长故事。
故事发展脉络:第一段是主题句,点明主题“人人能发现兴趣,有的人很小就发现”,起到引入作用。→第二段至第三段讲述了 Ellis 做蛋糕的起因和转折→第四段是 Ellis 的成长展示→最后一段是妈妈拒绝订单,坚持让 Ellis 享受做蛋糕的乐趣。
亮点表达:文中的“loved making”“quite talented”生动地描述了 Ellis 的天赋,随后用“made her first birthday cake by herself”这一具体事件作为佐证,既简洁又有说服力;母亲的这句话“Ellis is just a little girl, and she should have lots of fun”简洁而坚定,传递出尊重儿童天性的教育理念,引发读者对家庭教育的思考。
1. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“she had to make money for her family. She's good at making cakes, so she started to sell cakes”可知,Joanna 现在的赚钱方式是做蛋糕来卖。故选 B。
2. D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She cried(哭) every time she saw a cake taken away. Then her mum tried to teach her to make cakes and kept her busy”可知,Ellis 每看到一个蛋糕被拿走时都会哭,所以她的妈妈试着教她做蛋糕,好让她忙起来,然后忘记蛋糕被拿走了这件事。故选 D。

判断逻辑,作推理
推理判断题是阅读理解中的一种常考题型,这类题的命题内容十分灵活,可以是文章的隐含意义,也可以是作者的态度或人物的性格特点等。做这类题时,学生通常无法直接从文章中得到答案,这就要求学生结合文章的表面信息,然后作出符合逻辑的推理。
3. C 代词指代题。根据画线词前的“She always has great ideas on cake-making”可知,在蛋糕制作这方面她总是有很好的创意,They 应是指代上文中的“很好的创意”。故选 C。
4. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Some people want to order a cake from Ellis, but Joanna doesn't take any orders”可知,Joanna 没有替女儿接任何订单。故选 A。
5. D 主旨大意题。通读全文后可知,本文主要讲述了小女孩 Ellis Tang 学习做蛋糕且她在蛋糕制作这方面非常有天赋的故事,故事告诉了我们“兴趣是最好的老师”。故选 D。
