个别难词、关键词、词组或句子作出解释。解答这类题目时需要对有关的上下文,甚至整篇文章的内容建立准确、立体的理解才能做出正确答案。(三)、逻辑推理性题目这种题目有一定难度,往往不能直接从文中找到答案,而必须根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后,才能找到答案。有时甚至还得联系作者的意图、态度等弦外之音、文外之意加以推理,才能获得正确答案。(四)、归纳概括性题目   要求在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章作出归纳、概括或评价。解这种题目时,不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义,比如涉及文章的标题(title)、主题(mainidea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(end)等有关问题,都需要在细读全文的基础上,结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识、科学专业知识进行逻辑思维、推理、判断,从而获取文章中内隐的信息。1.考查学生在阅读中准确捕获信息的能力。这就要求通过阅读短文,运用自己所学的语法、词组、短语等方面的语言知识,根据自己的理解,掌握所读材料的主旨和大意,以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和情节,能回答短文后面所给的问题。 2.要求学生既理解具体的事实,也理解抽象的概念;既理解文章的表层意思,也理解文章的深层含义,包括作者的态度、意图等“弦外之音”。\n 3.要求学生既理解某句、某段的意义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并据此进行推理和判断。 4.要求学生既能根据材料提供的信息去理解,也能结合自己应有的常识去理解。在中考前的一个月中,除了根据学校老师的安排进行总复习外,同学们自己复习英语时如何才能少走弯路呢?笔者提出三条建议。  逐个消灭弱项  每位考生要静下心来,对自己作一个客观的评估,找出自己的弱项,缺什么补什么。一般来说,到现在为止,自己的弱项不会太多。即使有较多的弱项,也要找最弱的先补习。可以先注意词汇的复习。词汇掌握好坏与听力、语法、阅读、选择及写作均有直接的关系,建议考生先把要求掌握的单词词组认真筛选几遍,巩固拼写与词义,然后复习一下单词的种种变化和用法。以单词care为例,它可以做名词,也可以做动词,其形容词形式有careful与careless,再可以变为副词形式carefully和carelessly,而careless又有其名词形式carelessness等,这些不同的形式在句子中又有着不同的用法。如:  1、Youshouldtakecareofyour-self.(名词)2、Idon'tcareforsmoking.(动词)3、Becarefulwhenyoucrossthestreet.(形容词)4、Somecarelesspersonhasbrokentheglass.(形容词)5、Walkcarefully,oryoumayfall.(副词)在英语的十大词类中,动词无疑是最为活跃的词类之一。动词是构成句子的重要组成部分,它有谓语动词和非谓语动词的区别,有及物动词和不及物动词的区别,有瞬间动词和延续动词的区别,有主动语态和被动语态的区别和时态的区别。动词又可以与其他的词搭配构成丰富多彩的词组。以make为例:makefriendswithsb.…(与…交朋友),makeafilm(拍电影),makemistakes(犯错),makeanoise(吵闹),makeafire(生火),makemoney(挣钱),make\nprogress(取得进步),makeuseof(利用)以及由make构成被动语态的多种用法,如:bemadeof…,bemadefrom…,bemadeby…,bemadefor  …,bemadein…,bemadeupof…等,希望考生要弄清以上这些问题。   每天朗读课文   每天要听5-10分钟的英语录音来维持和提高听力水平。要坚持每天朗读一两篇课文,要通过听与读来巩固语感,保持对英语听力的敏感性。参加中考的学生大多会感到最难的莫过于完形填空,因为完形填空不仅从阅读的语言知识上对考生的应用能力进行考察,而且还需要考生有较好的语感和较广的知识面。做完形填空切忌急于求成。考生要先通览全文,大致了解文章的体裁、内容、情节的发展或前因后果。面对空格中要填写的单词可以先做试探性的猜测,然后逐句细读,根据上下文意思选取语法正确,意思贴切的单词填入。如果给了首个字母,范围就更缩小了。对于把握不大的空格,可以先搁置一下往下读,说不定答案就在下文中呢!完形填空的成功建立在足够的词汇量,熟练的语言表达能力,正确的语法知识和较广的知识面的基础上的。如:Thethemeofthe2010ShanghaiWorldExpois“BettyCity,Better1”.Thisthemeis2ofnewideas.TheWorldExpoisknown3theEconomicOlympics.whenheldinShanghaiin2010,itwillgivemuchtothedevelopmentofShanghai.At450millionvisitors5aroundtheworldwillcometothesix-monthexhibi-tionin2010,weChinesepeopleshoulddoour6inpreparationforExpo-2010.   在这篇完形填空文章中,第一空考查每一位考生对2010上海世博的主题是否了解,应填life。第二空是一个词组befullof,第三空考查beknownas的用法。第四空atleast有“至少”的意思,第五空应填from,而最后一空则又是一个词组doone'sbest。考前练习小短文\n   要坚持写一些50-80字的小短文,要多用自己熟悉的单词、词组和句型,题材要广泛,如写一件事、一个人、一个物品、一封信、一则通知、一则广告或根据图画写话等,要注意拼写正确,无语法错误,表达要达意,可把自己写的短文让老师批改一下,找出自己还存在的问题,进行分析,及时补缺。   最后,“看试卷”也是一种有效的复习方法,请考生把近期做过的大小试卷和练习题分门别类整理一下,定下心来认真仔细过一遍,把以前存在的问题弄清,有针对性地进行强化复习。相信通过以上这些办法进行最后复习,考生在中考中一定能考出优秀的成绩。生活中的两极发布时间:2009-01-14,作者:putclub来源:点击:75290生活中的两极推荐资源·[独家推荐]4天记忆1000单词·免费领疯狂英语全套学习资料·全新英语训练解决成长的烦恼·听总统电台演讲学领先风范·让您的英语与母语一样棒·剖析全球经济学金融英语·去美国学原汁原味英语·提高英语听说的秘密上一篇  下一篇IthasbeensobitterlycoldhereinPennsylvania.

他们坐在学校附近的湖岸上。父亲一开始只是问儿子一些平常的问题,例如他上了什么课、老师怎么样、进行什么运动等。然后他问:“儿子,你知道我今天为什么到这里来吗?”  男孩说:“来查看我的成绩?”  “不,不,”他的父亲回答。“我来是为了告诉你,你是我最重要的人。我希望看到你开心。我在乎的不是成绩。我在乎的是你。我在乎的是你过得快快乐乐。你是我的生命。”  现在,这个男孩拥有他需要的一切了。他知道在这个世界上有人非常非常关心他,他就是这个人的一切。
