三.例题详解
例题1：2011年1月
……….
How then to reconstruct this extinct colossus? What
fossils were left, what clues had she to go on? The
foundation was still there, out from town a bit. She wasn’t
sure exactly where, and somehow it didn’t matter. Only
25 once, on a winter afternoon long ago, had she been taken
out to see it. To a small child, it gave the impression of
having supported a structure far larger than a house, a city
almost. She had a memory of her grandmother Edie
……….
19. Lines 22-24 (“The foundation ... matter”) suggest what about Harriet’s attitude toward visiting the house
(A) She does not believe there is anything left of the house.
(B) She worries about trespassing on someone else’s property.
(C) She feels no need to revisit the physical remains of the house.
(D) She has no interest in rebuilding the family estate
(E) She is uneasy about exploring a deserted neighborhood.
答案：C
解析：22-24行(the foundation...matter)暗示了Harriet对于参观这座房子的态度是什么样的?
(A) 她认为这座房子没有留下任何物品
(B) 她担心会侵犯其他人的财产
(C) 她认为没有必要再去参观这座房子的遗址
(D) 她对重建家族的房产没有兴趣
(E) 她对于探索一个被抛弃的邻居房子感到不安
第22-24行的内容是说：房子的根基还在，但是她不确定它的重要性在哪。后面一句话还说：她只在很久以前的一个冬天的下午去参观过这座房子。根据这些内容可以判断出Harriet认为没有必要再去参观这座房子。
例题2：2011年1月SAT真题，Section9，第15题
…..
Of course, the protagonist of the hockey tale was not
“my brother.” He was “my grandson.” I departed from
65 my own life without a regret and breezily inhabited
my grandmother’s. I complained about my hip joint, I
bemoaned the rising cost of hamburger, and hinted at
the inattention of my son’s wife (that is, my own mother,
who was next door, oblivious to treachery).
…..
15. The granddaughter’s attitude in lines 63-69 (“Of course ... treachery”) is best described as
(A) guilty
(B) wary .
(C) conscientious
(D) optimistic
(E) self-SATisfied
答案：E
解析：在63-69行中作者的态度是
(A) 罪恶感
(B) 谨慎的
(C) 认真负责的
(D) 乐观的
(E) 自我满足的
本段中提到作者在信件中加入自己听来的自己的弟弟和曲棍球的事例，由于是以祖母的口吻来写，所以就不能写“我弟弟”，而是“我的孙子”，这句话中展现了作者有点洋洋自得，十分满足，本题正确答案是E，自我满足的。
