分析 本文主要介紹了好萊塢著名的電影制片人Billy Wilder拍攝的主要電影及其在電影制片界的成就．
解答 BACB
21． B． 主旨大意，本文通過第一段提到Many experts say that Billy Wilder changed the history of American movies．可知本文講述的是Billy Wilder對于美國電影的貢獻，故選B項．
22． A． 排序題． 根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知他首先學(xué)習(xí)法學(xué)，再去美國定居，然后講到組成一個寫作團，最后獲得六次奧斯卡獎，所以答案是A．
23． C． 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中句子"However，the Nazis had risen to power in the nation．Wilder was Jewish，and he recognized that he had no future in Nazi Germany．Then he left Europe for America．"當(dāng)納粹開始執(zhí)政，他是猶太人，不得不離開歐洲去美國，所以答案選C．
24． B．推理判斷題，根據(jù)最后一段"He had an unusual way of showing relations between men and women．For example，one of his most successful films was"Hold Back the Dawn．"他用一種不同方式來表現(xiàn)男女之間的關(guān)系，說明他的導(dǎo)演方式與眾不同，所以答案選B．
點評 一、速讀全文，了解大意知主題．
閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面．閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力．考生必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡(luò)，把握語篇實質(zhì)．
二、看題干，帶著問題讀文章．
首先要掌握問題的類型，客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案；而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調(diào)等，這類題必須經(jīng)過對作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等．其次，了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息，然后有針對性地對文章進行掃讀，對有關(guān)信息進行快速定位．此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準(zhǔn)確率．
三、邏輯推理，做好深層理解題．
在實際閱讀中，有時作者并未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思，通過語篇邏輯關(guān)系，研究細(xì)節(jié)的暗示，推敲作者的態(tài)度，理解文章的寓義．要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全．推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．
四、猜詞悟義，掃除閱讀攔路虎．
猜詞是應(yīng)用英語的重要能力．它不但需要準(zhǔn)確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認(rèn)識較多的課外詞匯．我們要學(xué)會"順藤摸瓜"，通過構(gòu)詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義．
