Dear Disney,
Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the MagicKingdom - Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.
We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.
Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff(员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.
Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, "Thank you," but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.
We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!
Your fan,
Carmen Rivera

Dear Liz，
My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life．
Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic. I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma．
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. I've learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favorite. I'm learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks．When I come back, I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal.
Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants—and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun．
I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important pan of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol(象征)of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants forbattle.
I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳击)lessons next time I write.
Love,
Mandy

学法指导
1. 总述
从近几年的四选一来看，事实细节题仍然是占据主导地位的，分值在8-10分不等，另外还会考察推断题和主旨大意题，但是相对来说考得比较少，一般分值都在2分左右，最多4分，只有10年比较特殊，推断题考察了6分之多。所以从各种不同类型考点在考题中的分布来看，四选一考察的还是比较基础的阅读能力，主要是考察学生在文章中寻找事实细节的能力。
2. 解题技巧
四选一整体上应该先在阅读之前熟悉考题，大致了解文章的写作内容，并且熟悉考察的具体内容，在阅读的过程中做到带着问题阅读。边阅读边回答问题。由于题目设计大都是按照内容出现的先后顺序排列的，所以做题的时候可以边阅读边进行选择，不要等到全篇读完了，再选择，这样容易遗忘之前读过的内容，而凭借记忆做题，影响答题的准确性。
事实细节题在回答的时候，首先把题干中的关键词记在心中，然后带着问题在阅读的过程中寻找相应的关键词，找到之后就要及时作出选择，最好把文章中相对应的句子划线划出来，回答完一题之后，可以再熟悉一下下一题的题干，以此类推。
推断题同样需要在文章中找出关键词，然后再关键词所在句子的上下文中寻找线索，再根据线索作出合理地推断。
主旨大意题一种方法是在文章的首尾段中找中心句来概括大意；如果没有中心句的可以先概括每一段的段落大意，然后再对所有段落的大意进行概括后得出文章的主旨大意。

练习1 （虹口一模A篇）
We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this high tower in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
“Look down, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw several streets leading to the square. ‘‘See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to Father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She tried one spoonful and sputtered. “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother promised that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible way. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

练习3（静安一模A篇）
Join the Roller Coaster Club!
You’re sitting in a tiny car. The car is part of a very small train that runs on a narrow track. Slowly, the little train climbs to the top of a huge hill.
You’re high above the grounds, so high that you can see for miles. Suddenly, you rush toward the ground at a speed that takes your breath away. You’re on your way up again, and this time you’re upside down!
You go up, down, and around. You’re on a roller coaster (过山车). Some people think riding a roller coaster is really terrifying. One ride is more than enough for them, even in a lifetime. However, other people love riding roller coasters. They ride their favorite roller coaster over and over. They also like to try out new roller coaster.
There’s a club for people who are very crazy at riding roller coasters. It’s called ACE. ACE is a short form for American Coaster Enthusiasts(热衷者). Steven Reagan and Kevin Lipnicky belong to ACE, and so do their families. Their family holidays often include trips to amusement parks to ride on new roller coasters.
As members of ACE, the boys were among the first to ride a new roller coaster at Sea World in Texas. It’s called the Great White, which is the name of a kind of shark.
Sometimes, amusement parks close the roller coaster to everyone except ACE members.
“If there’s no one in line,” says Steven, ‘”we keep our seats and ride again!”
It’s not all fun for ACE members. They also have a job to do. They tell owners of new amusement parks there the old roller coasters are. The owners buy the old roller coasters and move them to new homes so that they can be fixed instead of being destroyed (毁坏).
For ACE members, roller coaster riding is fun, fun, fun! People are thankful to the work they do to save different old roller coasters.
69. When a roller coaster takes you to the top, high above the grounds, it will probably___________.
A. stop it and get off
B. climb out of the train slowly
C. take away your breath
D. rush to the grounds
70. Some people think riding a roller coaster is terrifying. The underlined word means________.
