Like all bears, the black bear is timid, and rarely dangerous, but if attacked, most can climb trees and cover ground at great speed. When angry or frightened ,it is a formidable (可畏的) enemy.(原文节录)
1.Like all bears, the black bear ____.
A.is timid,clumsy,and dangerous
B.can climb trees at greet speed
C.can't run rapidly
D.is a formidable enemy
在实际测试中90%的同学都选择D,而不是正确答案B。
【误读根源】此题答错的原因是以偏概全,没有看到原文中条件,When angry or frightened, the black bear is formidable.
四、长句、难句障碍
1.No wonder children find it hard to learn the importance of saving money rather than spending it all the time.
误译:毫无疑问的是孩子很难认识到省钱的重要性而不是一直花钱。
正确译法:毫不足怪,省钱而不要一直花钱,孩子们很难认识到其重要性。
【误读根源】句型积累少,对词组no wonder, rather than不敏感。
五、代词障碍
Like Schmid,the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion(捍卫) found photographs. One of them,called simply Found,was born one snowy night in Chicago,when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: "Why's your car HERE at HER Place?"(07年湖南省高考)
Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the Cruelty young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster.(07年四川省高考)
What can we learn from this text?
A.Practice makes a quick mind.
B.Brains research started ten years ago.
C.Dr Merzenich is a scientist in computer.
D.People believed nothing could stop the brains slowing down.
正确答案是D,但是58%同学选了A。
【误读根源】主要原因是原文和题干的时态没有识别清楚,造成误读。used to be thought是过去被认为,而believed是一般过去时态, 表示曾经相信,因此D选项的意义和题干的意思相同,如出一辙。
