　　导师精解：从阅读该题中，我们就能发现它是有关于四篇杂志的介绍，文章依次罗列了四份杂志的相关内容。从常规着手做题：先审题，看文章，解答题目，可能考生就会花费比较多的时间。特别此类型的题目往往位于5篇阅读理解的末尾部。这时候，考生普遍已经对阅读理解题目产生了厌烦情绪。如没有良好的做题心理实质，就难以保证做题的质量。而从非常规着手，似乎就较简便，节省很多时间。考生从仔细阅读题目开始：第一道题目，把握住关键词“magazines”和“articles about music and painting”,考生在环视文章，就能了解这篇文章是讲述四篇杂志的阅读。考生在解答第一道题目时，“music and painting”不就与第一本杂志中第一句话“For lovers of the arts”相吻合吗?“music and painting”是“arts”的具体表现形式。第一道题目答案就为[A] Beauty。第二道题目问：这四本杂志可能适合哪些人阅读?浏览四个答案，考生就能根据第一道题目，第二题目答案[C]是不可能的，艺术一般不是给儿童欣赏。通过排除法已经缩小选择范围。根据第二、四杂志有关于新闻类内容报道，第一、三杂志有关于艺术和写作、图片类内容有关，可以确定答案为[D] grown-ups 最合适。第三道题目问：假如你读哪些杂志，你能获得世界最时新的新闻?根据第一题目我们就可以知道答案[A][B]都已经不可能了，Beauty在第一道题目中是有关于艺术类内容的。选择项[C][D]中都有The World Weekly，考生就可以节省时间不必考虑，只要分别出答案中New View和The Week那一项是就可以。本题答案为 [C] The World Weekly& The Week。第四道题目是个归纳性题目。考生比较四个选项，根据自己做题经验和文章内容，一般判断答案[B] get more readers to subscribe(订购)没什么困难。因为这种题材，本身就会是种广告类介绍。上的。没有好的阅读基础，解题技巧就是“空中楼阁”。
