【分析】
拿到这篇阅读理解,首先通读全文明确文章核心是介绍和春夏秋冬四个季节相关的趣味英文谚语,说明这些谚语和自然、生活的关联。接下来逐个解题:
第1题判断文章所属杂志板块,先排除明显不相关的选项:历史板块讲历史事件、健康板块讲健康养生、科技板块讲科技相关内容,全文围绕四季自然现象衍生的谚语展开,属于自然相关的内容,对应选出正确选项。
第2题理解划线谚语的含义,直接定位到Summer板块对应的解释部分,原文明确说明这句谚语的意思是“趁有利的形势还在的时候充分利用它”,匹配选项选出符合含义的答案。
第3题判断文章主旨,通读全文后结合首尾段的提示,文章不是单纯介绍四季天气,也没有倡导享受所有季节、更没有对比四季好坏,核心是介绍各类季节相关的谚语,点明这些谚语是藏在趣味表达里的生活智慧,能帮我们理解自然和生活,由此选出主旨项。
【解析】
1. 细节推断题:根据文章开篇“Every season brings special things—flowers in spring, sunshine in summer, colourful leaves in autumn, and snow in winter”,全文围绕四季相关的自然现象衍生的谚语展开,内容和自然领域相关,历史、健康、科技三个板块均不符合文章主题,因此选D。
2. 句意理解题:定位到Summer板块的内容,文中明确对“Make hay while the sun shines”的解释是“to make good use of a good situation while it lasts”,意思是要抓住有利时机充分行动,对应选项B“它教导我们有机会的时候就要行动”,其余选项均和原文表述不符,因此选B。
3. 主旨大意题:通读全文,文章分别介绍了四个季节对应的特色谚语,结尾段点明“Seasonal sayings are like little bits of wisdom in fun words”,说明这些和季节相关的谚语承载着智慧,能帮助我们理解身边的自然与生活,其余选项均偏离文章核心主旨,因此选C。
