Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person
left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(网上拍卖).
Buying for beginners: Sign up on ehay. co. uk. Most items (e. g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card (信用). Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starring on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big things in life: It' s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. Cheek the ways of delivery before you bid. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to make payment online. B. Ways of making delivery online
C. Advantages of an online-auction system. D. How to use an online-auction system.
【点津】D本题考察考生对文章主旨要义的理解能力。四个选项均涉及到有关短文内容,但是通过比较其核心概念,会发现A选项为支付首段, B选项为交货方式, C选项为系统优势,D选项为使用方法。由此可见A、B、C三个选项都只涉及了短文部分内容,不具备概括全篇的作用。D选项包含所有内容,能够全面概括出短文的主旨要义。C选项由于说话方式本身具有概括意味,具有一定的干扰。
第三部分 主旨类解题归纳总结 (一)经验总结:
1.把握逻辑结构,提高这方面的能力对于阅读议论文或说明文尤为重要,在此类文章中常用某个细节来引出题目从而进行议论,在议论的过程中可能会出现一些论据或细节描述,这部分常被设置为此类试题的干扰项。
2.找准主题句,主题句通常在文章句首,句中或句末,主题句表达中心思想,起主
导作用,阅读时要对容易出现主题句的地方特别注意。 (二)主旨大意题的错误选项有一下特点:
1.以偏盖全。只是局部信息或者是一句没有展开论述的话。
2.过于笼统。即归纳的主题太宽泛,与细节脱节或者是没有对细节加以充分论述。 3. 把观点强加于作者。读者往往根据自己的常识对文章进行判断而忽视了作者的见解。
4.无关信息,即在文章中没有提到或者是找不到语言依据的信息。

主旨大意(查找、归纳法)解题经典应用
People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many
people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and can’t focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah.
Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动)they were. They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.
Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.
“People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity, but because they’re distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” Sanbonmatsu said.
Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn’t find out whether people who start out less focused
toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.
The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they’re dangerous.”
67. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask________. .
A. seek high productivity constantly
B. prefer handling different things when getting bored C. are more focused when doing many things at a time
D. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time
68. When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they ___________. .
A. assessed the multitasking ability of the students B. evaluated the academic achievements of the students
C. analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks D. measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability
69. According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their __________. _.
A. limited power in calculation B. interests in doing things differently C. inability to concentrate on one task D. impulsive desire to try new things 70. From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually__________. .
A. drive very skillfully B. go in for different tasks
C. fail to react quickly to potential dangers D. refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior

试题分析:中国有句古语云:一心不可二用。而最近的一项研究就表明。那些经常一心多用的人往往就是同时做两件事做的最糟糕的人。正是因为不能专注于一件事,才会同时多做几件事,结果可想而知。
小题69:细节理解题。根据全文第一句话可知,一心多用,往往会把事情做得更糟糕。故选D。
小题70:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话可知,然后他们要这些学生一面做一些数学运算, 一面记忆一组字母, 用这个很刁难的方法来测试这些学生一心多用的能力。和A项意思一致 。
小题71:细节理解题。根据全文第二句的but because they are easily distracted (分心) and can’t focus on one activity.可知,许多人一心多用, 并不是因为他们想要增强工作生产量, 而是因为他们很容易分心或是不能专注于做一件事。故选C。
小题72:推理判断题。由最后一段的People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.一心多用的人一般对危险的情形不太敏感。可知,对危险的事情,一心多用者往往对潜在的危险不能迅速判断。故选C。
