2009年12月英语四级阅读考试训练(二二)

　　三种答案形式考查对原文信息的处理能力
　　1 答案为原文词句
　　解题技巧：这种情况最简单。定位题目出处后，直接将原文相应词句摘出即是答案。或者需要在理解上下文后，在与题干出处不同的词句中找到相应的词句
　　练习：
　　…Almost 40 years ago, when Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty, a family with a car and a house in the suburbs felt prosperous. Today that same family may well feel poor, overwhelmed by credit card debt, a second mortgage and the cost of the stuff that has become the backbone of American life…
　　Q: According to the author,how would an Amercian family with a car and a house in the suburbs probably feel about themselves today? ________.
　　答案
　　Poor.
　　关键词在原文的形式基本没有变化。注意题干问的是他们在today的感觉，不要受原文先前提到40年前的prosperous的影响。
