随着IB考纲的更迭，IB考核内容与全球化视野的联系更加密切，较之旧大纲只专注于文学作品内部的艺术特色不同，新大纲更加考验考生对于作品与全球性问题的理解与探索。这样的考核方式更加注重对学生个人能力的提升以及更深刻的思考能力的培养。
但是对于IB考生来说，面对

目前很多参加IB中文考试的学生， 大多是在国外的华裔学生，在阅读各种小说，散文和诗歌的时候，经过老师的指导，都能很好地理解文本的主旨和作者要表达的意象。
但是每当口头考试和笔试的时候会遇到这么一个困难，各种要表达的意象和对文章的理解在脑子里很杂乱，导致写论文的时候没有重点，思路也很混乱。
那么要解决这个问题，就需要我们借助结构化思维来使脑海里的论点条理化。
什么是结构化思维呢？…
答案指导:
首先学会用归纳的方法概括段意，即“猫的性格实在有些古怪，”以及“满月的小猫更可爱，”由此我们可以把握全文大意，了解到作者是如何从这两个方面来描写小猫的。
其次，学会在具体语境中分析作者传达出的情感。作者笔下的猫，一举一动都具有人格化的意味，读起来十分风趣幽默，如文中写它出去玩玩和不回家等， 将小猫的淘气和贪玩的性格展示得活灵活现。
作者运用了拟人的手法进行描写，惟妙惟肖地写出了猫的种种惹人喜爱的神态举止，如”撞疼了也不哭，跌倒了马上起来“ 这些句子读起来也让人心中盈满爱意，天真可爱的猫的形象跃然纸上。
至于作者对于猫的叫声的描写更是别出心裁， 从”丰富多强调、长短不同、粗细各异、变化多端“这些词组中可以看出，作者真的很喜欢这只猫。同时也传达了作者对于猫的宠溺和喜爱之情。
参考答案:
1. 答： 本文生动细致地写出了小猫的古怪性格和它满月时的淘气可爱的特点，作者将小猫拟人化，用哭来形容猫，惟妙惟肖写出了猫贪玩的天性与倔强的脾气，突出猫的天真可爱，全文字里行间流露出作者对猫的喜爱之情。（学生也可以根据这个答题思路开放性作答。）
2. 答：猫的古怪之处在于它既老实又贪玩，既贪玩又尽职，高兴时和不高兴时截然不同表现，什么都怕，但又那么勇猛。这三个方面的表现，看起来相互矛盾，但都是事实，所以说猫的性格实在有些古怪。（学生也可以根据这个答题思路开放性作答。）

阅读老舍的《猫》，完成1-2题。
猫 (Māo) the Cat
猫的性格实在有些古怪。说它老实吧，它有时候的确很乖。它会找个暖和的地方，成天睡大觉，无忧无虑，什么事也不过问。可是，它决定要出去玩玩，就会出去走一天一夜，任凭谁怎么呼唤，它也不肯回来。
说它贪玩吧，的确是呀，要不怎么会一天一夜不回家呢？可是，它听到老鼠的一点响动，又是多么尽职。它屏息凝视，一连就是几个钟头，非把老鼠等出来不可！
它要是高兴，能比谁都温柔可亲：同身子蹭你的腿，把脖儿伸出来要求给抓痒。或是在你写作的时候，跳上桌来，在稿纸上踩印几朵小梅花。
它还会丰富多腔地叫唤，长短不同，粗细各异，变化多端。在不叫的时候，它还会咕噜咕噜地给自己解闷。这可都凭它的高兴。它若是不高兴啊，无论谁说多少好话，它一声也不出。
它什么都怕，总想藏起来。可是它又那么勇猛，不要说见着小虫和老鼠，就是遇上蛇也敢斗一斗。
满月的小猫更可爱，腿脚还不稳，可是已经学会淘气。一根鸡毛，一个线团，都是它们的好玩具，耍个没完没了。一玩起来，它们不知要摔多少跟头，但是跌倒了马上起来，再跑再跌。
它们的头撞在门上、桌腿上，彼此的头上，撞疼了也不哭。它们的胆子越来越大，逐渐开辟新的游戏场所。它们到院子里来了，院中的花草可遭了殃。它们在花盆里摔跤，抱着花枝打秋千，所过之处，枝折花落。你见了，绝不会责打它们，它们是那么生机勃勃，天真可爱！
