［解析】（1）細節(jié)理解題。由本文Thetheme：部分Themainthemeisa（ccnagcsearchofsclf-discovcry,

James'swimmingcoachsaystohim："Youarenotlikeakidobeyinginstructionsanymore.Youaredi

vinglikeayoungmanwhoknowswhereheisgoing."（故事的主題是一個青少年對自我發(fā)現(xiàn)的探索，

在這種情況下，主人公尋找早年就與之分離的母親。它的其他關(guān)注點是愛，與他人相處，堅持不

懈和勇敢，并試圖處理疑慮，麻煩和擔憂。在書快結(jié)束的時候，詹姆斯的游泳教練對他說：“你不

再像一個服從指令的孩子了。你跳水的樣子就像一個知道自己要去哪里的年輕人。"）可知，該書

主題體現(xiàn)在James尋找生身母親的征途也就是戰(zhàn)勝自我獲得人生真.諦的發(fā)現(xiàn)之旅。故選C。

（2）推理判斷題。由本文Thetheme：部分中的關(guān)鍵句As（hebookmoves（oaclose,James1swimming

coachsaystohim："Youarenotlikeakidobeyinginstructionsanymore.Youaredivinglikeayoungman

whoknowswhereheisgoing."（教練所說"你不能再像小孩一樣，就知道循規(guī)蹈矩。你應(yīng)該探索，

像找定方向的年輕潛水員"。）可推知，第2段教練的話說明詹姆斯要做一個獨立的有個性的年輕

人。故選D。

（3）細節(jié)理解題。由本文Theturningpoint：部分中的關(guān)鍵句Theonlycluehehasisafossil,"the

snakestone"whichsheleftbehindalongwithanoteonwhichshehadwritten："Takegoodcareof

Sammie."（他唯一的線索是一塊化石，那塊“蛇石”是她留下的，旁邊還有一張紙條，上面寫著："

好好照顧薩米，）可知，小說中的蛇石是生母留下的一條線索。故選B。

（4）推理判斷題。由本文Thejourney：部分中的關(guān)鍵句Hecomestounderstandwhyshelefthimat

astranger'sdoorfifteenyearsbefore.Althoughthemeetingisnotlong,itleaveshimwithafeelingof

completeness.Asajourneyofself-discoveryTheSnake-Slonealsoprovidesitsreaderswithahappy

ending.Itsherosays,onreturningtohisfosterparents,"Iwashome.,（他開始明白為什么15年前她

把他遺棄在一個陌生人的門口。雖然會議時間不長，但它給他留下了一種完整的感覺。作為一段

自我發(fā)現(xiàn)的旅程，《蛇石》也為淺者提供了一個快樂的結(jié)局。故事的主人公在回到養(yǎng)父母身邊時

說：“我就在家里。可知，James的尋母征途是快樂而又有成就感的。自己發(fā)現(xiàn)了人生真諦從此

開始成長起來了。可推知，James的旅程是值得的。故選A。

這是一篇記敘文。分別從背景，主題，角色以及其主要情節(jié)“發(fā)現(xiàn)之旅”方面介紹名著TheSnake?stone。

閱讀理解解題步驟：首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意，因為閱讀理解題一般沒有

標題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料；

其次細讀題材，各個擊破，掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，

帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息，要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強

的針對性，對于捕獲到的信息，要做認真分析，仔細推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，

才能做到穩(wěn),、準。

12~15.【答案】B、A、A、C
