閱讀理解題型突破(四)主旨大意題 (A卷)(加彩的題目為主旨大意題，本卷限時22分鐘)AIf a city wants to hold the Olympics, it must submit a proposal to the IOC.After all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes.If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated (淘汰), the voting continues, until a majority winner is determined.Typically, the Games are awarded several years in advance, allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, and chiefly among them is which organizing mittee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively.The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games.For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia.Because of the growing importance of television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host citys time zone.Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing mittee not the IOC or the NOC of the host citys country to provide them with money.This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues (收入), and corporate sponsorships, tickets sales, and other smaller revenue sources.In many cases there is also direct government support.Although many cities have gained amounts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympics can be financially risky.If the financial gains from the Games are less than expected, the city will be left with large debts.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了申辦奧運會的流程。1_

My desk was always surrounded with bowls of food grain, sour milk and old magazines. My floor was full of sweaters, stuffed animals, socks, shoes .

I told my mom that I didnt know what to do and she advised me to clean my room. When I opened the door to my bedroom, everything was in its usual messy arrangement. I became aware of the moldy (發(fā)霉的) smell and noticed a spider (蜘蛛) on top of my mirror. I suddenly felt terrible for everything in my room that I had buried and had an urge to make them reappear.In a box buried under old textbooks, I found a letter that my grandfather had written me at camp. I remembered my dad rocking me to sleep the night grandfather died, and how the tears wouldnt stop. Tears began to roll down my cheeks again.In the drawer next to my bed, I found a friendship watchband from my childhood best friend, Aubrey, who had given it to me before she moved to California. I had lost so many precious childhood memories over time, letting them slip away into the tide like grains of sand.Under my bed I even found that picture of my mom and me in Jamaica. I stared at that girl, barely able to recognize this person who had drowned in the mess of my room so many years before. I decided to pletely reorganize and clean my room so that all the books, belts, and baskets were in their right place.

After all, it was me I had been searching for.語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者多年來不注意打掃室內(nèi)衛(wèi)生，生活也因此變得混亂。一天，她決定改變現(xiàn)狀。8Paragraph 1 is mainly about the authors _.Adisorganized lifestyle Bregular study habitsCunusual hobbies Dbusy life解析：選A段落大意題。由第一段尤其是第一句“I liked being a mess.”可知，作者喜歡混亂，其室內(nèi)的東西擺放無序，混亂不堪。故選A項。9How did the author feel when she saw a spider in her bedroom?AFrightened.

According to a new French study on sleeptalking, researchers found the most monly used word is “no”， and the French swearword (罵人的話) “putain” occurred, reports the New York Times, “800 times more often in sleep than when awake”The study also found that men sleeptalked more than women and used more swearwords.Sleeptalking is a form of sleep disorders.“In my experience, it can be linked to the nervous system being overactive, which can be related to the overuse of technology before bed or too much coffee，” says Dr Nerina.“But these sorts of behaviours can happen with people who quite hard on themselves.Theyre perfectionists, but they often hold back on saying what they really want to say.When they go to bed at night, it es out into the sleep.”The idea that you can find someones deepest secrets while they are asleep is irresistible.There are apps that record sleeptalking.But can you admit to a murder in your sleep? Or to having a lover? Prof.Horne suggests we shouldnt read too much into what is said.“Sleeptalking tends to occur in very light sleep，” he says.“Sleeptalking isnt related to dreaming but to the lighter sleep.Its really the wanderings of a rather confused mind.”It is much more mon in children, and the majority of people grow out of it.“Anxiety and stress tends to bring it on，” says Horne.“Sleeptalkers are generally reflecting some sort of aspect of a worry.I think its best not to place too much concern on sleeptalking and not take the words said by someone seriously.”However, sleeptalking might tell you one thing.Someone who often does it is probably quite anxious and it might be a good idea to find out what is worrying them.語篇解讀：說夢話是睡眠紊亂的一種表現(xiàn)。文章告訴我們說夢話的原因主要是精神的過度緊張和內(nèi)心的焦慮。說夢話的人也無須太過擔心，找出你自己焦慮和緊張的原因后，說夢話這個問題自然就解決了。5What can we learn from the text?ASwearwords occur more often when people are awake.BAdults sleeptalk less since they are happier than kids.CSleeptalking has an obvious connection with dreaming.DPeople dont need to worry too much about sleeptalking.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“.

Similarly, green tea could also be beneficial for preventing the shocking event, caused when a blood vessel in or serving the brain is blocked.The study looked at the drinking habits of more than 83,000 healthy adults, aged 45 to 74, whose health was tracked for 13 years on average. They found that people who drank at least one cup of coffee a day had about a 20 percent lower risk of stroke, pared to those who rarely drank it. To get an equal effect, about four cups of green tea a day were required.All results were adjusted to take into account differences between the groups in age position, gender, smoking, alcohol, weight, diet and exercise. Dr. Yoshihiro Kokubo, lead author of the study, published in the journal Stroke, said, “The regular action of drinking tea and coffee, largely benefits cardiovascular (心臟血管的) health.”Their results for coffee were similar to that of “study of studies”， presented at a European conference, which found that one to three cups a day was associated with a 14 percent reduction. For three to six cups, there appeared to be a similar but weaker association, but there was no benefit from drinking six or more.Exactly why coffee and green tea appears to lower stroke risk is unclear, although antioxidants are thought to be at work. However, the science is by no means cut and dried. Caffeine raises blood pressure, and there have been indications that too much coffee can raise stroke risk because of this.D
