Unit2 阅读技能突破-真题展示
[全国新高考I2020·B篇]Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition（学费）, because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is s married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed（牺牲） to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family--and that’s pretty powerful.

【微技能】如何推断文章蕴含的道理
理解语篇的主要内容并推断出其蕴含的道理需要从文章主题出发，概括文章的主旨大意、分析作者的写作意图等，然后从中推测出文章想要传递的道理或思想。考生在做此类题目时，首先要通读全文，抓住主要内容，并且要根据句子之间的逻辑关系、文化背景等推断文章中的隐含意义，解题时需要注意以下几点：
（1）理解语篇要义的关键是找出文章的主题。主题句通常在文章首段或结尾，有时也分散在各段，此时考生需要对各段的主旨进行归纳，进而总结出全文的主题。但有些文章并没有很明确的主题句，此时考生就需要从一些细节信息中体会作者所要表达的意思，推断作者的写作意图或态度，从整体上把握文章大意。
（2）文章所蕴含的道理应是文章整体所要传递的道理。考生在做题时要避免以偏概全，有些干扰项虽然与文章内容有关联，但并不是作者想表达的主要思想，从全文来看比较片面；还有一些干扰项虽提到了文章中的关键词，但也并不是文章的主题。
总之，考生做此类题时，要避免被局部内容所迷惑，应注重从整体分析文章要表达的思想和意义。
