‎2009年中考英语阅读理解 ‎ ‎. ‎ 慈母手中线，游子身上衣，谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。母爱是世界上最伟大、最无私的，她宽容大度，她不求回报，她为子女付出很多很多……‎ I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. ‎ Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”‎ I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. ‎ They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”. ‎ As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me. ‎ I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. ‎ My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. ‎ Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. ‎ Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words. ‎ 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。‎ ‎1. The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______. ‎ A. after Mother died ‎ ‎ B. before she became a writer ‎ C. when she was a child ‎ ‎ D. when Mother gave it to her ‎ ‎2. The passage shows that ______. ‎ A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter ‎ B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done ‎ C. mother cared much about her daughter in words ‎ D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words ‎ ‎3. The word “gulf” in the passage means ______. ‎ A. deep understanding between the old and the young ‎ B. different ideas between the mother and the daughter ‎ C. free talks between mother and daughter ‎ D. part of the sea going far in land ‎ ‎4. What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness? ‎ A. She had never received the letter. ‎ B. For years, she often talked about the letter. ‎ C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. ‎ D. She read the letter again and again till she died. ‎ ‎5. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children ‎ C. My mother’s Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选C。根据I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. 可知作者当时还是个小孩子，故选C。‎ ‎2. 选A。由But she lived “on the surface ”. 和全文内容可知，作者的母亲表面上很冷漠，但心里充满了对作者的爱，正确答案是A。‎ ‎3. 选B。从I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”. 可知此词是指两人之间不同的看法和观点，应选B。‎ ‎4. 选D。根据…a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. 可知应选D。‎ ‎5. 选C。文章的开头I’ve loved my mother’s desk…以及后面的Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to…可知作者是托物思人，以表达自己对母亲的怀念之情，所以最佳标题应是C。‎ 阅读理解并回答问题 ‎ One day the famous American scientist Albert Einstein met an old friend of his on a street in New York.‎ ‎“Mr Einstein,” said the friend, “ it seems that you need to put on a new overcoat.

The farmers didn’t know what to do. Finally they went to the country officials and asked for help. ‎ ‎“Kill the hawks,” the officials said, “We will even pay for them,” so the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks. ‎ The farmers killed many hawks. They no longer had to worry about their chickens. But they now had a new worry. Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers’ grain. ‎ How did this happen? ‎ Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens. But the farmers didn’t know this. When they killed a lot of hawks, they changed the balance. ‎ When people move into a new place, they often destroy many wild plants. Often these plants are food for the animals. If the animals can’t find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave the place. ‎ In one part of the USA, for example the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses. The mountain lions there eat the deer. The number of deer, mountain lions and wild roses doesn’t change much if people leave things as they are. ‎ But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees. These trees were important to the farmers. So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees. Now the deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature. ‎ To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember. ‎ 根据以上短文内容判断正误，正确的用“T”表示，错误的用“F”表示。‎ ‎1. Finally the officials told the farmers to kill the hawks. ‎ ‎2. Field mice eat not only chickens but also the farmers’ grain. ‎ ‎3. When the animals can’t find enough plants to eat in a place, they will starve or have to leave. ‎ ‎4. The number of animals changes much if people leave things as they are. ‎ ‎5. It is important for us to keep the balance of nature. ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选T。根据句子 “Kill the hawks,” the officials said. 可知，此题与短文内容相符合，所以可判断为正确。‎ ‎2. 选F。本题句意为“田鼠不仅吃小鸡还吃农民的庄稼”，但由句子Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers’ grain. 可知，田鼠只吃庄稼，‎ ‎3. 选T。由句子If the animals can’t find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave the place. 可知本题正确。‎ ‎4. 选F。由短文内容可知，如果人们不破坏生态平衡，而顺其自然，则动物的数量不会有多大的改变。故本题与原文不一致，所以判断此题错误。‎ ‎5. 选T。从短文的最后一句To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember. 我们知道：保持生态平衡对我们来说是非常重要的。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·幽默故事 学习不用功可能挨老师的批评，考试不及格可能被父母打屁股，但你听说过有学习不用功要被钉死在十字架上的吗？本文中的Little Tommy就是这样想的。‎ Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school. ‎ After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at ‎ work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening. ‎ Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”‎ Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”‎ ‎“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”‎ Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking. ”‎ 根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。‎ ‎1. Why did Tommy’s parents send him to a catholic school?‎ A. Because he could eat well there. ‎ B. Because he could earn more about nuns. ‎ C. Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math. ‎ D. Because his parents didn’t want him to learn math any more. ‎ ‎2. Tommy’s mother felt surprised that his son _______. ‎ A. was still the same as usual ‎ B. ate so much at dinner C. kissed her hello after school ‎ D. worked hard but said little ‎3. “Hitting the books” means “_______” in Chinese. ‎ A. 用功 ‎ B. 捶书 ‎ C. 发泄 ‎ D. 振作 ‎4. The last sentence in the passage shows that _______. ‎ A. Tommy felt sorry for the mail ‎ B. Tommy was afraid of being nailed C. Tommy didn’t like the plus sign ‎ D. Tommy liked playing jokes on others ‎5. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that _______. ‎ A. teachers should be strict with their students B. mistaking (误解) might do good sometimes C. a catholic school is much better than other ones D. nuns are good at helping children with their math ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选C。文章第1段说Tommy数学学不好，其父母想尽了一切办法都不奏效，最后将他送进了一所天主教的教会学校。‎ ‎2. 选D。认真阅读第2段前面几句话，并注意以下信息：After the first day, little Tommy came home…didn’t kiss his mother hello…was hard at work…without a word. 可知答案应选D。‎ ‎3. 选A。根据文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books这个句子的语境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。‎ ‎4. 选B。Tommy学习一直不用功，但自从进了这所catholic school之后，情况就不一样了——整天都发狠读书，结果数学考试也得了A。这是为什么呢？文章在最后道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking. 由此可知，Tommy是担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架上。‎ ‎5. 选B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign误解为“学习不用功的结果”，从而一改自己原来不好学的不良习惯，很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见，误解有时也可以起到好的效果 中考英语阅读理解·“老”字趣谈 ‎ ‎ 每个国家都有各自的文化习惯，而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会，不过只要熟悉对方的风俗习惯做到入乡随俗，一切就OK啦！‎ When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. ‎ I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. ‎ In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. ‎ However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear. ‎ After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words. ‎ By Jack 根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。‎ ‎1. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _______. ‎ A. the manager asked him to do so ‎ B. he respected the elderly C. the couple wanted him to do so ‎ D. he wanted more pay ‎2.

In Jack’s hometown, _______. ‎ A. people dislike being called “old”‎ B. people are proud of being old C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty ‎ D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants ‎4. After this experience, Jack _______. ‎ A. lost his job in the restaurant ‎ B. made friends with the couple C. no longer respected the elderly ‎ D. changed his way with older people ‎5. Which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got. ‎ B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience. ‎ C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple. ‎ D. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture. ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选B。根据第2段中的I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly可知答案。‎ ‎2. 选C。根据第2段中的As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure可知他们听到Jack称他们为老者时，一点也不高兴。‎ ‎3. 选B。根据第3段中的In my village in China, people are proud of being old可知答案。‎ ‎4. 选D。根据最后一段中的After that, I changed the way I had with older people可知答案。‎ ‎5. 选D。根据第2段最后一句After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry可知A选项不对；根据文章最后一句but now I don’t show my feelings through words可知B选项不对；根据第2段中的I then waked back to the table and apologized to the wife 可知C 选项也不对，故正确答案为D。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·Jean的网友 ‎ ‎ QQ聊天对我们来说并不陌生，但是该不该完全相信网友呢？我们究竟该以怎样的心态对待网络呢？让我们来看看本文主人公与网友的奇遇吧！‎ Jean is a bright young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely. ‎ So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous(匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often. ‎ Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common(共同的) interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other. ‎ When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday.

People should tell their real names to others on QQ. ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选D。由第1段的句子…In fact, Jean is quite lonely. 可知答案选D。‎ ‎2. 选A。Jean认为David幽默风趣，在摇滚乐和现代舞上和她有共同的兴趣，他们可以在网上快乐地聊上几个小时。很显然David使得Jean很开心。答案选A。‎ ‎3. 选C。文章的最后一句…she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!告诉我们，当Jean发现她那特殊的朋友是一个12岁的小孩时，用了一个感叹号结尾，虽然作者没有直接说Jean感到惊讶，但是我们可以从这个标点符号推断出她的感觉应该是十分surprised(惊讶的)。‎ ‎4. 选A。本文讲述Jean交了个十分投缘的网友，后来却发现对方原来只是一个12岁的小男孩。通过这个故事，短文意在告戒人们不要轻易相信Q友，答案选A。‎ 中考英语阅读·一辈子的朋友 ‎ ‎ 朋友与你相互嬉闹，朋友与你互掏腰包；朋友与你互相惦记，朋友与你心有灵犀；朋友与你有苦共担，朋友与有乐同欢……请读读这篇真挚的友情故事。‎ Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding. ‎ When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address (地址) Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda. ‎ Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share (分享) happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill. ‎ One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J still wrote to her. ‎ She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”‎ Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!‎ 根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。‎ ‎1.

Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you. He was worried because he couldn’t pay his tailor’s bills. I told him not to worry about the bills any more. He took my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again. ” “Yes, I know all about that,” answered the patient sadly. “You see, I’m that man’s tailor!”‎ 根据以上短文内容判断正误，正确的用“T”表示，错误的用“F”表示。‎ ‎1.

The doctor gave the man and the tailor the same advice. ‎ ‎5. The tailor was worried because a man couldn’t pay his bills. ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选F。根据第1句A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach可知本题是错误的。‎ ‎2. 选T。根据…there is no thing really wrong with you (tailor)可知裁缝的身体并没有什么大碍，故可判断此题与短文内容相符。‎ ‎3. 选F。根据句子Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago可知本题所叙述的时间与短文内容不一致，因此可判断此题是错误的。‎ ‎4. 选T。根据…and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you可知答案。‎ ‎5. 选T。通读全文我们可知：上一个病人是担心他自己不能付钱给他的裁缝，而这个裁缝的病因却是因为担心那个人不能付钱给他的。‎ 中考英语阅读理解一篇 ‎ ‎ ‎ 捡钱不还虽可享用一时，但良心会一辈子不安；拾金不昧虽有点一时不忍，但那种感觉将会worth more than anything could buy。‎ I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有价值的) in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ ‎800 in cash(现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away. ‎ Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy. ‎ 根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。‎ ‎1. Which of the following is true?‎ A. The owner of the wallet found a twenty-dollar bill gone. ‎ B. The writer wasn’t surprised when the man gave her a reward. ‎ C. Nothing in the wallet was missing. ‎ D.

The writer returned the wallet to the owner because _______. ‎ A. she thought Christmas was coming ‎ B. the owner came back too soon C. she didn’t know there was so much money in it D. as an honest person, she didn’t care much about money ‎3. Which of the following is NOT true? ‎ A. The writer accepted a reward of $ 20. ‎ B. The writer regretted(后悔) that she had returned the wallet. ‎ C. The writer didn’t return the wallet until the owner came back. ‎ D. The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet. ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选C。由于作者并未打开钱包，更没有从中取出什么，所以说Nothing in the wallet was missing。‎ ‎2. 选B。根据文章最后一段中的Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it可排除选项C和D。比较选项A和B，再结合文章大意，选B为佳(from www.zkenglish.com)‎ ‎3. 选B。此题可用排除法来做：根据第1段最后两句He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away可知选项A与文章内容相符；选项B的意思是“作者直到失主返回来才将钱包还给他”，这显然与文章内容相符；根据第2段最后一句话The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy可知，选项D也与文章内容相符。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·顽童的承诺 ‎ ‎ 兄弟可以相依相伴，可以同甘共苦，也可以为彼此付出一切……请读读这篇感人的兄弟情的故事吧！‎ A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.

Sir, I wish…”‎ ‎ He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to,” the boy answered.‎ After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?”‎ Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked. ‎ He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car. ‎ ‎“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”‎ Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

This is Buddy Thomas.‎ 我们可以知道，这是播音员在结束节目时才会说的话，所以可以推断出这篇短文来自A radio program(一个广播节目)。答案为D。‎ ‎2. 选C。最后一句话告诉我们播音员是Buddy Thomas，所以答案是C。‎ ‎3. 选A。短文的第1句This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year’s Eve.就告诉了我们，这首歌是在New Year’s Eve听的，所以答案选择A。‎ ‎4. 选D。从第2段可以知道这首歌的前身是a poem(一首诗)，在1796年出版，而The words and music we know today first appeared in a songbook three years later. 3年以后歌曲才出现，所以应该是在1799年。因此答案是D(from www.zkenglish.com)。‎ ‎5. 选C。在第1段播音员就告诉我们：It tells about the need to remember old friends. 所以答案是C。‎ ‎ ‎ 回答问题式阅读理解 ‎ ‎ ‎ Have you ever heard of a girl of 15, who set up a company of her own?

It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned (罐装的) or frozen (冷冻的). It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day. ‎ Paragraph 3‎ There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on the earth.

Where is the 10?”‎ ‎“I don’t know where the 10 is. Let’s just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23.”‎ ‎“We can’t do it that way. We have to use the 10.”‎ ‎“Well, I’m going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202.”‎ Over the telephone, I said that I was having a bit of trouble with the homework she had given to my daughter. The teacher said, “In the right-hand column (栏) we have units of one. The two in that column counts for two ones. The zero in the center counts for ‎ zero tens. The two in the left-hand column counts for hundreds. Are you clear?” But I didn’t think I was clear. ‎ I hung up and found my way to the medicine box. My head was now hurting. I started putting pills of medicine into my mouth. “How many did you take?” my wife asked. “I took one and then I took another…I know one and one was two, but don’t ask me what it is now.”‎ ‎11.

A。第二段的首句“...but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper.”即是答案的出处。‎ ‎2. D。本题考查根据语境进行分析判断的能力。由上下文，显然可知这是报纸上的一则广告信息。‎ ‎3. C。本题考查通过上下文对词汇的推测能力。根据亨利的叙述可得出此答案。‎ ‎4. B。这由“A different meat every day, and you are complaining!”一句可知。‎ ‎5. C。本来打算要在乡村农场过一个暑假，结果四天之后就回来了。这能不是个短暂的假期吗？用此作标题既切合题意，又具有幽默的味道。‎ ‎(B) 这篇短文分为三个落：第一段列举了科学家研究了人们每天要吃的食物；第二段讲述了不同国家的人们饮食习惯和饮食结构等各方面有很大差异。但这些对人来说都没不是很重要的，重要的是每天吃什么。第三段阐述了两个问题：如何解决世界人口的吃饭问题，既要吃饱，又要吃得健康。‎ ‎6. A。本题属表层理解题。由第一段科学家建议七大类食品可知答案非A莫属。‎ ‎7. D。由“The important thing is what you eat every day.”及第一段的内容可知D是正确答案。而根据第二段可知A、B、C皆为错误的。‎ ‎8. D。第二段开头的“People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways.”这两句是解答本题的关键。‎ ‎9. C。根据第三段所讲的内容，C项显然是错误的。‎ ‎10. B。A、C和D都是在上文刚刚谈论过的，又根据第三段“There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on the earth.”所提的两个问题，可以推知下文可能要谈论如何解决这两个问题。故答案为B。‎ ‎(C) 作者向我们讲述了很多人都可能遇到的一个问题：父母往往回答不上来小孩子问的一些非常简单的数学问题。文中作者的女儿向他询问怎样计算202减去179这道题。结果，他的女儿不但弄不懂他的解释，而且他还无法解释清楚女儿提出的问题。他只好向女儿的老师求助，而自己被老师的解释搞得天昏脑胀……‎ ‎11. D。细读第二段，再联系父女俩的谈话即可得出答案。‎ ‎12. B。根据“but I didn’t think I was clear.”以及“I took one and then I took another…I know one and one was two, but don’t ask me what it is now.”可知B项是错误的。‎ ‎13. A。根据短文内容，那位老师所说的“”她的意思是说“个位上的数字是几就表示几个一”，当然应是小于1的数。‎ ‎14. D。由“My head was now hurting.”这句话，可知“父亲”听了老师的解释后没有生气、焦虑或悲伤，而是头昏脑胀，疲惫之至。‎ ‎15. C。选项A是不现实的，而选项C、D更是荒诞离奇。体会一下文末一段“父亲”的举动，就可以想起他是一种什么样的心情。‎ 短文改写填空型阅读理解实例分析 ‎ ‎ 一、实例训练 Robert is fifteen now. Two and a half years ago he came to the city and began to study in a middle school. He studies hard and gets on well with his classmates. And he ‎ often helps his friends with their lessons. But as he comes from a village, the headmaster who was born in a rich family is bad to him and does his best to make excuses to punish him. The boy knows it and takes precautions against(提防) it. ‎ One afternoon all the students went to have lunch and he bought a piece of bread. He was reading a book under a big tree, while a dog was standing near him. At that moment the headmaster came out and saw it. He became angry and said, “Don’t you know we don’t let anybody rear (饲养) dogs in the school?”‎ ‎“Yes, I do, sir. ”said the boy. ‎ ‎“Why have you brought your dog to school, then?”‎ ‎“It isn’t my dog. ”‎ ‎“Why is it following you, then?”‎ ‎“You’re following me now, sir. ” said the boy, “Can you say you are mine?”‎ 请根据以上短文在改写后短文的空白处填入适当的词，使其完整。‎ Robert is fifteen. He is in Grade _______(1) now. He studies hard and his classmates are _______(2) to him. And he often helps his friends to _______(3) their lessons. But as he was _______(4) in a farmer family, the headmaster from a _______(5) family is bad to him and does_______(6) he can to punish him. ‎ One day in the _______(7), all the students went _______(8) lunch and he bought a piece of bread, reading a book under a tree. At the moment a dog was standing near him. _______(9) the headmaster saw this, he wanted to_______(10) him. But he failed that day again. ‎ 二、答题分析 第一步：快读全文，掌握大意。通读原文我们知道。文章讲叙了Robert 和校长的一些情况，Robert 是一个初中学生，他出生于贫困之家，但学习努力与同学相处融洽。校长出生于富贵家庭对Robert很不友好，总是想尽办法惩罚他, Robert时刻小心提防他。一天下午校长又想趁机惩罚他，但未能得逞。‎ 第二步：细读改写，寻找异同。如原文中说Two and half years ago he came to the city and began to study in a middle school. 而改写中却是He is in Grade_______(1) now. 由原文中的Two and half years ago 可知第(1)空要填Three. 原文中说He studies hard and gets on well with his classmates, 而改写中却是He studies hard and his classmates are _______(2) to him. 由于“他与同学相处融洽”那么“他的同学一定是对他很友好了”。因此第二空填kind或friendly。第3空是一个典型的同义句改写，即help sb. with sth. 与help sb. to do sth. 的转换。‎ 第三步：字斟句酌，各个击破。比如第4, 5, 7空与原文几乎没多大差别可先填好(4) born, (5) rich, (7) afternoon。对于与原文有较大差异的空，则需要字斟句酌，细仔推敲了。我们要在对比改写文中的句子与原文句子差别的前提下，推测改写文中的句子所要表达的意思，然后根据我们所学的知识推出所要填写的单词。如：‎ 原文中的and does his best to make excuses to punish him 正是改写文中and does _______(6) he can to punish him 要表达的意思。这里does后面是一个宾语从句，而从句缺少引导词，因此填入what正合适。这一空较难因为can后面省去了动词原形do。这句话意为“并且做他所能做的事情来惩罚他”。‎ 而原文中的…all the students went to have lunch 与改写文中的all the students went _______(8) lunch. went to have lunch 与went for lunch 同义。故第8空填for。‎ 改写中的_______(9) the headmaster saw this, he wanted to _______(10) him. But he failed that day again. 是对原文第二段后面部分的概括，通过比较我们知道改写中要表达的意思是“当校长看见那种情况时，他想惩罚他，但那一天他又失败了”。因此第9空填，when第10空填punish。　‎ 第四步：复读改写，纠正失误。如：第1空应大写首字母，很多考生可能会忽略这一点。‎ 精选中考英语阅读理解训练 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(A)‎ Now satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. ‎ Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. ‎ So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前). ‎ ‎1. Satellites travel __________. ‎ A. in space B. above space C. above the ground D. in the atmosphere ‎ ‎2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _______. ‎ A. clouds form there B. the weather forms there ‎ C. the weather satellites can do it easily D. the pictures can forecast the weather ‎ ‎3. Meteorologists forecast the weather _______. ‎ A. without studying satellite pictures ‎ B. before they receive satellite pictures ‎ C. when they have received satellite pictures ‎ D. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones ‎ ‎4. Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _________. ‎ A. one day B. two days ‎ C. five days D. seven days or even longer ‎ ‎5. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in __________. ‎ A. taking pictures of the earth B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere ‎ C. weather forecasting D. doing other work in many ways ‎ ‎(B)‎ There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions (比赛). He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup (银杯) for the Rose of the Year. ‎ Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day. ‎ But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others. ‎ At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice (布告) made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses. ‎ ‎6. It was Mr. Flowers’ hope to ________. ‎ A. build glass-houses in his free time B. grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cup C. win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color D. grow a rose with the longest name ‎7. Boys were often tempted to ________. ‎ A. throw stones at Mr. Flowers’ glass-house B. throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their school C. be in or near by Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses D. play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses ‎8. Mr. Flowers stayed in or near by his glass-houses _______. ‎ A. at times when school-boys were walking near them B. all the school day when there were no boys about C. where he could not be seen by the boys passing D. in his free time at the beginning and end of the school day ‎9. Mr. Flowers had tried to ______ to protect his glass. ‎ A. be on watch in his free time B. ask the headmaster for help C. pick up all the stones around his garden D. do all the above ‎10. Mr. Flowers’ good idea was to ______. ‎ A. write some words on the glass B. put up a large notice to cover his glass-houses C. give the boys something else to throw stones at D. send for policemen ‎(C)‎ Come to Austria!‎ Soll is a village in the mountains in western Austria, and the Hotel Post, opened by a local (当地的) family, is clean and not expensive. From the hotel you can see the whole village, the forest and the mountains. Temperatures in summer are usually ‎20℃‎ to ‎25℃‎ in the daytime, but much cooler by evening. ‎ Enjoy Thailand!‎ When you visit Bangkok in Thailand, don’t miss the early morning river boat trip to the Floating (漂浮的) Market just outside the city. There you will find many kinds of fruits and vegetables. There you can pay for them when you sit in your boat. Don’t forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as ‎40℃‎ about midday!‎ Visit Hawaii!‎ Maybe the most beautiful place in Hawaii is Kauai. You can visit its long, sandy beaches in the south and west of the island, and mountains and forests in the north, but be careful: there are many mosquitoes (蚊子), and don’t be surprised if it rains in the center of the island. Daytime temperatures there are usually around ‎24℃‎ to ‎26℃‎ by the sea, and only a little cooler by late evening. ‎ 根据上面的三则广告，在下面句子的空白处填入适当的词。‎ ‎11.

C。“…to win the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.”一句中，不定式在句中作目的状语，也是Mr. Flowers的愿望之所在。‎ ‎7. A。第二段前两句有明确的说明。‎ ‎8. D。“So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.”是该题的出处。(from www.zkenglish.com)‎ ‎9. D。为了保护自己的玻璃房子不受损坏，想尽了各种方法。选项A、B、C所述内容均在文中有明确的阐述。‎ ‎10. C。由最后一段，特别是其中的关键词large, good, strong以及布告上的DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE, 可知他制作布告牌的真正目的不是要它对孩子们起警示作用，而是利用孩子们的心理让其当作他们投掷的靶子。‎ ‎(C) 这是三则介绍旅游风景区景点的广告。‎ ‎11. the whole village, the forest and the mountains。 答案即在“From the hotel you can see the whole village, the forest and the mountains.”这句话中。‎ ‎12. in your boat。根据“There you can pay for them when you sit in your boat.”一句，可知答案。‎ ‎13. your hat。“Don’t forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as ‎40℃‎ about midday!”一句是答案的出处。‎ ‎14. mountains, forests and many mosquitoes。本题属表层信息理解题。答案源自“…and mountains and forests in the north, but be careful: there are many mosquitoes…”一句中。‎ ‎15. Bangkok in Thailand 。 这三则广告中所出现的气温方面的信息分别是：①Temperatures in summer are usually ‎20℃‎ to ‎25℃‎ in the daytime, but much cooler by evening. ② the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as ‎40℃‎ about midday! ③ Daytime temperatures there are usually around ‎24℃‎ to ‎26℃‎ by the sea, and only a little cooler by late evening. 不难看出正确答案。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·节约用水 ‎ ‎ Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加纳), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily(日常) cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy. ‎ Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源) on the earth.‎ Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface(表面). But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface. ‎ You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out. ‎ How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. ‎ Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:‎ ‎●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month. ‎ ‎●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away! ‎ ‎●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴) in half—and you’ll be just as clean. ‎ ‎●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run. ‎ ‎●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full, you’re wasting water!‎ ‎◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。‎ ‎1.

Which of the following wastes water?‎ A. We need ten minutes if we want a clean shower. ‎ B. We should put in enough clothes when we wash them in washing machines. ‎ C. You can keep yourself clean by having a shower for five minutes. ‎ D. Don’t let the water run when we brush our teeth and wash dishes. ‎ ‎5. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Something must be done to prevent water form being polluted. ‎ B. Clean water means much to human beings and living things around us. ‎ C. It’s time to take care of the water we use. ‎ D. Water is the most important natural resource on the earth. ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选C。从第1段中的句子She has no time to go to school可知，她根本没有去上学。故选C。‎ ‎2. 选B。短文第3段中介绍了全球70%被水覆盖，但只有1%才是饮用淡水。而世界上的很多国家和地区都缺水。所以选B项，即我们的生活用水很少。‎ ‎3. 选D。由第5段中的句子Dirty rain, called acid rain, is also bad for plants animals and buildings.可知，acid rain(酸雨)的危害很大。 故答案选D。‎ ‎4. 选A。A选项与C选项相互矛盾，则必有一个为正确选项。而从第3点建议(advice)可知，你可以沐浴只须五分钟来节约用水，若用10分钟则是浪费水。故选A。‎ ‎5. 选C。读完全文我们知道地球上的水资源有限，所以大家都要节约用水。故选C。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·浪费可耻 ‎ ‎ Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them. ‎ Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. ‎ In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。‎ ‎1.

China is rich in fresh water.  D. Students never waste things. ‎ ‎5. Which is the best title of this passage? ‎ A. Stop Wasting B. School life C. Waste in the School  D. Rich Resources in China ‎ ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选C。从文章的第1句Waste can be seen everywhere in the school.就说明了在学校浪费现象随处可见，故选C。‎ ‎2. 选B。在第2段中，Fresh water, oil, coal均有提及，但Forest没有提到。故选B。‎ ‎3. 选D。由第2段的句子It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years.可知，在100年后，我们可能没有coal or oil to use。故答案选D。‎ ‎4. 选A。短文的第2段第1句Waste can bring a lot of problems就告诉了我们答案，故选Ａ。‎ ‎5. 选A。在短文的第1段例举一些浪费现象，引出第2段Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. 所以Stop Wasting 为短文的最佳标题。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·不一样的平安夜 ‎ ‎ Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒馆) for students.

The word “neglected” in the last passage means _______. ‎ A. protected      B. found C. taken care of                  D. given no enough care ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选C。第1段的最后一句…helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes). 就是他们的决定，即去帮助那些乞丐和无家可归的人，给他们以关爱。答案选C。‎ ‎2. 选B。根据第3段中的 woman所说的话：…for the first time I feel respected(尊重). 我们可以推断出：乞丐们有太长的时间没人关心了。故答案为B。‎ ‎3. 选B。 在第6段中有这样一句Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise. 而B选项中Amazed 的同义表达就是surprised，所以答案为B。‎ ‎4. 选D。本文讲述了14个清华学子在平安夜帮助流浪汉和乞丐们的故事。这些流浪汉和乞丐们都感到十分的意外和温暖，我们由此可推断他们应该是长期given no enough care(被忽视的)原因。这样我们就可以排除A、B、C三项，最后正确答案为D。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·吓人的惩罚 ‎ ‎ Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.‎ After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.‎ Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”‎ Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.”‎ ‎“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”‎ Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking.”‎ ‎◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。‎ ‎1. Why did Tommy’s parents send him to a catholic school?‎ A. Because he could eat well there.‎ B. Because he could earn more about nuns. ‎ C. Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math. ‎ D. Because his parents didn’t want him to learn math any more.‎ ‎2. Tommy’s mother felt surprised that his son _______.‎ A. was still the same as usual  B. ate so much at dinner C. kissed her hello after school  D. worked hard but said little ‎3. “Hitting the books” means “_______” in Chinese.‎ A. 用功  B. 捶书 ‎ C. 发泄  D. 振作 ‎4. The last sentence in the passage shows that _______.‎ A. Tommy felt sorry for the mail  B. Tommy was afraid of being nailed C. Tommy didn’t like the plus sign  D. Tommy liked playing jokes on others ‎5. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that _______. ‎ A. teachers should be strict with their students B. mistaking (误解) might do good sometimes C. a catholic school is much better than other ones D. nuns are good at helping children with their math ‎ ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 选C。文章第1段说Tommy数学学不好，其父母想尽了一切办法都不奏效，最后将他送进了一所天主教的教会学校。‎ ‎2. 选D。认真阅读第2段前面几句话，并注意以下信息：After the first day, little Tommy came home…didn’t kiss his mother hello…was hard at work…without a word. 可知答案应选D。‎ ‎3. 选A。根据文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books这个句子的语境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。‎ ‎4. 选B。Tommy学习一直不用功，但自从进了这所catholic school之后，情况就不一样了——整天都发狠读书，结果数学考试也得了A。这是为什么呢？文章在最后道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking. 由此可知，Tommy是担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架上。‎ ‎5. 选B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign误解为“学习不用功的结果”，从而一改自己原来不好学的不良习惯，很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见，误解有时也可以起到好的效果。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·火中自救小知识 ‎ ‎ What are you going to do if you are in a burning house?

It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.‎ Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it. ‎ The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly. ‎ The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out. ‎ At last, there will be two players and one chair.

She will be healthy.我们可以知道Shadow是一只健康的小狗。答案选C。‎ ‎2. 选B。由第3段句子Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes.可知，shelter是a place to keep homeless animals(无家可归的动物们的避难所)。‎ ‎3. 选D。第4段内容告诉我们：医生想为宠物们找个好家，他想知道Brown夫妇是否能照顾好宠物，否则医生也不放心把宠物交给他们的。‎ ‎4. 选B。由第5段的句子A small dog would bark(吠) and warm them if someone tried to break into their house. 我们可知，一只小狗就可以帮他们看家了。故答案选B。‎ ‎5. 选A。因为Shadow has had all of her shots，它已经打过所有的预防针了，所以Shadow是不会容易得病的。‎ 中考英语阅读理解·一百元的价值 ‎ ‎ A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school.

He was careful with his work. He was kind to everyone. He was always ready to help others.‎ One morning he stood in the station. He was waiting for the train. Just then he saw a man running towards the trains with a big bag in his hand.‎ ‎“No train is starting. Why is he in such a hurry?” the old man thought to himself.‎ He went up to the man and asked, “May I help you?”‎ As soon as the man saw the porter, he stopped running.‎ ‎“Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?” the man asked. He looked worried.‎ The old porter looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Well, sir. I’d like to help you, but I can’t answer your question because I don’t know how fast you can run.” Then he explained to the man, “The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago. Can you run fast enough to catch it?”‎ ‎1. What was John’s job?‎ ‎2. Where do you think the man was going?‎ ‎3. Why did the man run towards the trains and look worried? ‎ ‎4. What time was it when the man got to the station? ‎ ‎5. What do you think of John Smith?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ 通读全文, 故事讲述的是车站搬运工John Smith有一天在火车站同一名旅客间的一段对话，故事很幽默。‎ ‎ ‎ 第一个问题是一个细节题，第1段清楚地说明了他的工作：John Smith was an old porter。porter的意思的“(车站、码头) 的搬运工人”，如果考生不认识这个词，也可以由He ‎ worked at the station. Every day he was busy carrying heavy things for the people.这两句话了解他的工作性质。因此第一个问题的回答：John’s job was to carry heavy things for the people at station. / He was a porter.‎ 第二个问题是一个推理题，问题:这名旅客要去哪里。由文中这句旅客的问话Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?很容易推断出他要去伦敦。‎ 第三个问题仍要求考生推理得出答案，问题：为什么此人看上去很急的样子朝火车赶去。很显然是因为他在赶火车。对why提问要用because进行回答，第三个问题的回答是Because he wanted to catch the 10:35 train to London. ‎ 第四个问题是推理题, 问的是：这名旅客赶到火车站的时间。由下文John的回答The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago可知火车已开走，这名旅客赶到的时间是大约10: 40，因此第四题的回答是It was about10：40 (twenty to eleven) 。第五个问题是归纳题, 考查考生对文章大意的理解。这个问题的回答实际上就是全文的中心句, 在第一自然段里已做了介绍。He was careful with his work. He was kind to everyone and always ready to help others.‎ ‎(B)‎ John Brown, an office worker, lives in Washington, He inherited(继承) $ 1,000, 000 when he was 23. He didn’t feel happy at all. His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn’t have to. John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. He didn’t tell any of his friends and gave $ 100, 000 of his money to a charity(慈善团体) that helped poor children to live better lives, but he is much happier. ‎ Up to now,John has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world, $ ‎200 a month for each. The child does not receive the money in cash(现金). The money pays for the child’s school expenses, food, medical care and clothing. John receives a report each year on the child’s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English. ‎ When John first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. “It was not anything special,” he said, “Until I had the chance to go to these countries and meet the children I was helping, I did not know anything about the type of life they had.”‎ Once John went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting. “When I met her, I felt very very happy,” he said, “I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the child in a way that giving money alone cannot” “ I want to do everything I can. I will go on helping those children in need, “he added. ‎ 根据短文内容回答下列问题，不超过五个单词：‎ ‎1. What kind of life is John living?‎ He is living a _______________________.. ‎ ‎2. Did John want to look for a job or stay at home after he got the money?‎ ‎ ___________________ ‎ ‎3.

Why did John say that the meeting with the little girl was very exciting?‎ Because he saw his money was well used and this made him_____________. ‎ ‎6.. How do you like John Brown?‎ He is_______________________‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ 这篇短文讲述的是John Brown继承了一笔遗产,并用这笔钱来资助15个孩子的故事。注意有的问题是用句子回答，有的则是用短语或词回答，词数有要求，不能超过五个单词。‎ ‎ 阅读简答的答题技巧 ‎ ‎ 学生们做“阅读简答”这样的题目时，普遍觉得不难，而考试结果一出来，却发现得高分的不多，原因就在于这种题型不仅要求考生读懂文章, 还要求他们用自己的语言简练的回答有关问题；既考查了学生的阅读理解能力，也考查了他们的英语表达能力和概括能力,另外,对回答的拼写、语法的正确性的要求，使得做简答题有一定的难度。再加上解答这样的题型几乎没有猜题的技巧可言，也从某种意义上加大了做题的难度。要想取得较好的成绩，好的解题步骤和技巧是非常重要的。‎ ‎1. 通读全文。做简答题的关键是要读懂原文，因此首先要通读全文、弄清楚段落大意及文章的中心意思以及作者的基本观点、态度，正确理解语境。‎ ‎2. 按题查读，即根据问题去寻找答案。认真阅读问题，充分理解问题，准确理解所问的内容，确定需要在文章中查找的对象，避免答非所问。‎ ‎3. 简练作答。在基本确定了每道题的回答内容之后，就要用简练、准确的英语表达出来。注意回答问题时要切中要点，不要画蛇添足。组织答案时，注意避免语言错误，如：时态、主谓一致、句子结构和拼写等。如需引用原文，要作适当改动，最好不要整句照搬.‎ ‎4. 认真核查。完成所填的答案以后，再将原短文和补全后的短文或句子放在一起,审读一遍，上下对比参照，逐一检查所填的词是否符合原文主旨和细节，是否答非所问，是否仍存在语法、词汇拼写等错误，另外还有一点也要注意：如果对字数有要求, 是否符合要求。‎ ‎5. 答案形式要符合提问方式。不同类型的问题要求有不同形式的回答，不能仅仅为了答案的简洁而忽略了问题与回答在形式上的对应。如原文中提问方式为“why”，那么就要用“because”引导的从句来回答。‎ 答题时值得注意的是：根据语境、先定词义、后定词形。因此首先得纵观全文，围绕中心意思，综合考虑来确定词义，保证所填的词符合全文的大意。查读相关的段落或词句时，应仔细对照留有空格的句子或问题，找出充足的依据来确定该空格应填词的词义。所填的词还必须符合语法正确的原则，必须从词语搭配、句型结构以及人称、时态、语态上来判定所填词的正确形式，所填的词以实词为主，有些要填的词可以从原短文中直接找到答案。‎ 第一个问题是细节题，询问John过着怎样的一种生活。由文中的句子John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. 可知：他的生活简朴。因此第一题可填入simple life.‎ 第二个问题是推理题，文章开头说His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn’t have to. John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else.‎ 说明他想和别人一样过普通人的生活。很容易对这个选择疑问句作出回答，注意对选择疑问句的回答方式，不要画蛇添足。第2句的回答： He wanted to look for a job.‎ 第三个问题是细节题，根据John has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world…可知这个一般疑问句的回答：是No. (He helps other children.) / No, he doesn’t.‎ 第四个问题是细节题，这是个反意问句，由文中的The child does not receive the money in cash(现金) The money pays for the child’s school expenses, food, medical care and clothing.可知回答是No / No,he doesn’t.‎ 第五个问题要求考生用短语或词填空，这是推理题，问：为什么John同小女孩的见面令他激动?题目中已给出了部分回答：Because he saw his money was well used and this made him_____________.短文 “When I met her, I felt very very happy,” he said, “I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the child in a way that giving money alone cannot” 可以判断空里应填feel happy / closer to the child.‎ 第六个问题是归纳总结题，要求考生在理解全文的基础上，对主人公的人品进行归纳评价。最合适的回答是：a kind(generous) person。‎ 回答问题型阅读理解题3篇 ‎ ‎ ‎ 阅读下列短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。‎ ‎(1)‎ It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触) other people.

People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.‎ Look at people in the eye when you talk to them.

In Britain, where this festival is called Harvest Festival, people celebrate it earlier in the year, in September.‎ A harvest is the fruit you take from the trees and the crops you take from the ground. In North America and Britain, harvest time for most fruit and crops is in the autumn. In these countries and other Christian places, people give thanks to God on a special day of the year. They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year and for the good harvest they have had. People usually take small boxes of fruit, flowers, and vegetables to their churches to show their thanks.‎ The first thanksgiving service (仪式) in North America took place on December 4th, 1619 when 38 English people, arrived in America to make their home in the new country. They held this service not to thank God for the harvest, but to thank God for their safe journeys. The next year, many more English people arrived. They had a bad winter, but fortunately the harvest was good. they decided to celebrate it with a big meal. They shot and killed small animals to eat and cooked everything outside on large fires. About 90 Indians also came to the meal. Everyone ate at tables outside their houses and played games together. The festival lasted three days.‎ A Thanksgiving Day celebration was held every year for a long time, but not always on the same day of the year. Then, in 1789, President George Washington named November 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the date, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day.‎ Nowadays, North Americans around the world get together with their families on this day to eat good food and have a happy time.‎ ‎1. Is Thanksgiving Day celebrated on the same day in North American countries?‎ ‎2. When did the first thanksgiving service take place in North America?‎ ‎3. Who made the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day in the USA?‎ ‎4. What does the word “fortunately” mean in Chinese?‎ ‎5.

A 推理判断题。他要将伞卖给作者时说for only a pound中的only可以推断，那把伞不只值１英镑。‎ ‎4. B推理判断题。这个老头先卖给了作者一把伞，可是他喝酒后又took up one of the many wet umbrellas there，并将其很快卖掉，由此推断卖的并不是他自己的伞，而是别的人伞。‎ ‎5. B推理判断题。这个老人原来说卖伞乘taxi回家，事实上是上pub喝酒，后来又拿别的雨伞去卖掉，由此可推断他是不诚实的。‎ 中考英语阅读理解实例分析（四篇）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【实例一】‎ Most people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everyone. The economy (经济) of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not possible, and so more people are out of work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in short time. Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holiday. In all of the countries of the world, machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine can often do the work from forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70% of them can find jobs.‎ ‎1. It was _______ for people to find work before than today.‎ A. not possible B. difficult C. more difficult D. easier ‎2. If the economy of the world grows by 4% each year, _______.‎ A. people will have no jobs B. people can still have jobs as before C. 4% of the people will have jobs D. 97% of the people will have jobs ‎3. One machine can do as much work as _______.‎ A. 40% of the people B. 4% of the people in the world C. 40 people D. 75,000 people ‎4.

Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. Machines are taking work instead of people.‎ B. Now more people are out of work.‎ C. Machines need more money and longer holidays.‎ D. Most people want to have jobs.‎ ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. 由短文的第一句话It has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everyone. 可知现在找工作比以前更困难，即以前找工作比现在容易得多。所以答案选D。‎ ‎2. 由短文的第二句话The economy of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for the people. 准确地理解了这一句话的意思就能得出正确答案为B。‎ ‎3. 由短文的倒数第二句话One machine can often do the work of forty people.可知此题的正确答案为C。‎ ‎4. 此题根据原文的最后一句话可直接得出答案为D。‎ ‎5. 此题在原文中都可找到答案，而C答案与作者的观点Machines do not ask for more money and longer holiday.不一致，所以选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【实例二】‎ A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long. ‎ He came downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up tea things in the kitchen. “These new trousers are too long.” He said. “ They need shortening (缩短)by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.‎ But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters. ‎ Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches. ‎ The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she , too, remembered what her brother had said. So she ran upstairs and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers. ‎ ‎1.

D. 从第四段的原句(Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers)中我们可知是晚饭后去把裤子缩短了。‎ ‎5. C. 通读全文，知道有三人把裤子各缩短了两英寸，那么总共缩短了六英寸。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【实例三】‎ When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “ How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. ‎ Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. ‎ ‎“She only likes apples.”‎ ‎“Only she likes apples.”‎ ‎“I have seen the film already.”‎ ‎“I have already seen the film.”‎ When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does. ‎ ‎1. From the passage we know that _______when we are learning English. ‎ A. we shouldn’t put every word into our own language B. we should look up every word in the dictionary C. we need to put every word into our own language D. we must read word by word ‎2. The writer thinks it is _______ in learning English. ‎ A. difficult to understand different sounds B. possible to remember the word order C. important to master the rules in different ways D. easy to master the rules for word order ‎3.

Which is the best title (标题) for this passage? ‎ A. Different Orders, Different Meanings ‎ B. How to Speak English C. How to Put English into Our Own Language ‎ D. How to Learn English ‎【答案与解析】‎ ‎1. A. 从整篇文章我们知道，在学习英语翻译句子时，我们不能逐字逐词译成母语，这样做是不明智的，结果是译成错误的句子。‎ ‎2. B. 从文章中的第二段的这一句中It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. 可知B项为正确答案。‎ ‎3. C. 从文章所举的两组例子和原句Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. 说明了作者的这一观点：有时，不同的词序会有不同的意思。‎ ‎4. B. She only likes apples. only在这句中修饰动词likes，意为“她只喜欢苹果，而不喜欢吃其它水果”。Only she likes apples. only在此句中修饰主语she，意为“只有她喜欢苹果，而其他人就不一定喜欢吃苹果了。”所以正确答案是B。‎ ‎5. D. 从整篇文章可以看出其大意是“怎样学习英语？”，把它作为标题应该是最佳的。‎ ‎【实例四】‎ A cheap sweater Mr. Ford saw a nice sweater in the shop window. It was very cheap. So he bought one. ‎ When he went back home he put the sweater on, It was all right and he was pleased with it. ‎ In the afternoon he went out to work in his garden. It soon began to rain, and Mr. Ford had to run into his house. He ran quickly, but he still got wet. ‎ Then his sweater started to shrink. It got smaller and smaller. Mr. Ford tried to take it off, but he couldn’t. ‎ In the end, with the help of his wife, he got out of the sweater. Mrs. Ford laughed, “ You see, you bought a cheap thing, but…”‎ 阅读短文，然后根据文章内容判断下列各句是否正确，对的用“T”、错误的用“F”表示。‎ ‎1. Mr. Ford bought the sweater because it was very nice and cheap. ‎ ‎2. “Shrink” here means “become smaller”. ‎ ‎3. Mr. Ford was not good at buying things. ‎ ‎4. Mr. Ford put the sweater on as soon as he bought it. ‎ ‎5. Mr. Ford took off the sweater by himself. ‎ ‎【答案与解的】‎ ‎1. T. 第1小题的句意与文章的第1自然段意思相同，所以符合短文内容。‎ ‎2. T. 从文章的第四自然段可知shrink的意思就是become smaller。所以符合短文内容。‎ ‎3. T. Ford先生上午买的衣服下午穿在身上被雨水打湿后就缩小变形了，由此可知Ford先生不擅长买东西。‎ ‎4. F. 从文章中的When he went back home he put the sweater on.可知, 他是买了带回家才穿的。所以第四小题与短文内容不相符合。‎ ‎5. F. 从文章的最后一段可知他是在妻子的帮助下才把衣服给脱下来的。所以与短文内容不相符合。‎ ‎“先题后文”阅读方法说明 关于“先题后文”，同学们运用此法时要注意：‎ ‎1. 先读题时只能是读其问题或题干，而不能读问题后的选项，否则不仅浪费时间，而且也无法记住众多答案所表达的众多信息。‎ ‎2. 在读了题之后，要把这些问题记在心里，并带着这些问题去阅读短文，关于这一点考生是要经过反复的训练才能形成能力的，因为短文后的这些问题本身所表达的信息并不象短文那样有情节，也不象短文那样连贯，所以有不少同学在开始试用这种方法时，往往先读了题之后(尤其是当问题较多时)再读短文时，又忘记是什么问题了。‎ ‎3. 带着问题读短文时，对短文中出现的那些与问题有关的词句，你可以用一支铅笔在短文中作些记号，以便为下一步选择作好准备，但也要注意不要每读到一个与问题有关的信息点就停下来去对照后面的问题，因为这样转来转去要耽误一些时间，另一方面有些问题往往要通过对短文的全面了解才能作出结论，而不能仅仅从一、二个信息点作出判断。‎ ‎4. 带着问题读完短文之后，接着便是选择理解题的答案。虽然你是带着问题去阅读短文的，但也并不是说你在阅读时带去的问题全部得到了答案，也可能有些还没有把握(‎ 尤其是一些主观理解题)，这时你同样要带着这些“疑题”去跳读短文(具体做法参见上面的“先文后题”的有关说明)。‎ 中考英语阅读理解主观性考题 根据短文内容，完成下列句子或短文，每空填一个英语单词。‎ ‎(1)‎ One day, Mr White told the class to get ready for a hobby show.

Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥ 100 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball and said, “Who wants it now?” We raised our hands again. But he said, “Wait a moment.” He then dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Many hands were still up. “My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today.

You often play football with your friends after school.‎ B. Your teacher has got a cold.‎ C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught.‎ D. The bike in front of your house is lost.‎ 在阅读材料中，有这样一段文字：‎ Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news.‎ 根据这段文字，我们可以推断：电视报道的新闻故事必须是有趣的和不平常的。因此，正确答案应为C。‎ ‎2．指代推断 确定代词的含义和指代对象是阅读理解题常见的题目。要确定指代词所指代的对象，关键在于对所在上下文的正确理解。指代名词的指代词，其单复数形式英语被指代的词一致，因此数的形式可作为识别指代对象第一个辅助标志。‎ ‎3．逻辑推断 这类题目往往是要求根据文章所提供的背景，人物的表情，动作和语言来推断出人物的态度或感觉。‎ ‎4．对作者的意图和态度的推断 这一类考题大都要求考生就作者对论述对象持什么样的态度做出推断，如作者对所陈述的观点是赞同、反对，还是犹豫不定，对记述或描写的人、物或事件是赞颂、同情、冷漠，还是厌恶。作者的这种思想倾向和感情色彩不一定直接表述出来，而往往隐含在字里行间。因此，进行这种推断时，我们既要依靠短文的主题思想作为推力的前提，又要注意作者的措辞，尤其是形容词一类的修饰语。‎ 中考英语阅读理解模拟考题（有解析）‎ 阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。‎ ‎(1)‎ We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?‎ Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.‎ But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?‎ ‎1. “To be familiar with” means to ______.‎ A. know nothing B. know about C. dislike D. like ‎2. Does everyone think computers are good for children?‎ A. Yes, they do. B. No, not everyone thinks so.‎ C. They don’t know. D. They are not sure.‎ ‎3. What can computers help children to do?‎ A. To think clearly, to do homework and to write. B.

Yes, he does.‎ ‎(2)‎ Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.‎ This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light that you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km. per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars had started on its journey to you before you were born.‎ Thus, if we want to be honest, we can’t say, “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say instead, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago, but their light has only just reached the earth.”‎ ‎1. Light speed is ______ sound speed A. as fast as B. a million times slower than C. about millions of times faster than D. about a million times faster than ‎2.

D 推断题。根据他的计划表中星期二他要参加篮球赛，星期天又篮球队聚会可以推断出。‎ ‎3. A 推断题。因为在Mary的计划表中，星期日上午没有安排，由此可以推断：她星期日上午有空。‎ ‎4. D 细节题。在Mary的计划表中的Wednesday一栏中可找到。‎ 如何猜测阅读理解题中的生词词义 词汇是阅读理解的基础的基础。我们必须掌握教材中所学所有的单词和词组；了解构词法知识，如熟记一些常见的前缀、后缀，以及词语的合成和转化等；并且要进行大量的课外阅读扩大自己的词汇量。要阅读需要一定的词汇量，同时在大量阅读的同时不仅可以复习学过的词汇而且还可扩大自己的词汇量。尽管如此，在阅读中还是不可避免会遇到生词或者熟词生义，在英语阅读理解试题中猜测词义也是必不可少的题目，因此，我们必须学会如何猜测词义。任何一个词语，在一定的上下文中只能表示一个确定的词义。据此，我们可以尽可能地利用上下文来猜测词义，即从已知推求未知，也就是用我们所熟悉的词或短语来猜测我们不熟悉的词的词义。猜测词义时，我们可以从以下几个方面来考虑：‎ 一、根据定义或解释猜测词义 A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful. It gives us some interesting phrases(短语). One is “ to let the cat out of the bag”. It is the same as “to tell a secret”….‎ Now when someone lets out (泄漏) a secret, he “lets the cat out of the bag.”‎ John “lets the cat out of the bag” means he ______.‎ A. makes everyone know a secret B. the woman bout a cat C. buys a cat in the bag D. sells the cat in the bag 在这篇文章里，“let the cat out of the bag”虽然是一个新出现的短语，但紧接着后面就给出解释It is the same as “to tell a secret”根据这一解释，我们就可判断出正确答案应为A。‎ 二、根据情景和逻辑进行判断 As they go around town, the police help people. Sometimes they find lost children. They take the children home. If the police see a fight, they put an end to it right away. Sometimes people will ask the police how to get to a place in town. The police can always tell the people which way to go. They know all the streets and roads well.‎ In the text, “put an end to” means “______”.‎ A. stop B. cut C. kill D. fly 根据文章所提供的情景，如果警察看到有人在打架，他们肯定会去制止。因为制止打架斗殴是警察的职责。根据这一推理，答案应该是A。‎ 三、根据并列或同位关系猜测词义 There is a place on our earth where hot water and steam come up under the ground. It is on a large island in the Pacific Ocean. The island is North Island in New Zealand.‎ What does the word “steam” mean in Chinese?‎ A. 自来水 B. 大气 C. 冰川 D. 蒸汽 从语法上看，steam和hot water是并列关系，我们就以断定这两种东西是相关的，是同一类物质。在所给第四个选项中只有“蒸汽”有这种可能。‎ 四、根据背景和常识判断 The following morning when I went to see how my captive (caged) bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was terribly surprised! What had happened! I had taken extremely care of my little bird. Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, who happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had happened. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries(毒莓). She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”‎ An ornithologist is probably a person who ______.‎ A. studies birds B. loves creatures C. majors in habits D. takes care of trees Ornithologist 这个词从来没有见到过，但是通过他的语言我们可以判断出这是一个对鸟很有研究的人。我很爱鸟，把鸟装在笼子里，并细心照料，而且鸟的母亲也飞过来喂这只鸟，但这只鸟却死了，我很不理解。到我家来的这个人给我详细解释了鸟死的原因，说明这个人非常懂鸟。据此，我们可以断定答案影视A。‎ 利用主题句解中考英语阅读理解题 最有效的办法是找出主题句。一篇文章(或一段文章) ‎ 通常都是围绕一个中心意思展开的。而这个中心意思往往由一个句子来概括。这个能概括文章或段落中心意思的句子叫做主题句。因此，理解一个段落或一篇文章的中心意思首先要学会寻找主题句。主题句一般具有三个特点：(1) 概括性强：表述的意思比较概括。(2) 结构简单：句子结构较简单，多数都不采用长、难句的形式。(3) 受它支撑：段落中其他的句子是用来解释、支撑或发展该句所表述的主题思想。在一篇短文或一个段落中，大部分主题句的位置情况有三种：‎ 一、主题句在段首或篇首 主题句在段首或篇首的情况相当普遍。一般新闻报道、说明文, 议论文大都采用先总述，后分述的叙事方法。例如：‎ All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物链)。Some food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.‎ 第一句即是主题句。这个句子概括了本段的中心意思：“地球上所有的生物要生存都离不开其他的生物”。后面讲述了大量的事实之后，作者指出：如果这些食物链中的一个链环消失，所有的食物都会断掉。所有这些事实都是围绕第一个句子展开的。‎ 二、主题句在段末或篇末 用归纳法写文章时，往往表述细节的句子在前，概述性的句子在后，并以此结尾。这种位于段末或篇末的主题句往往是对前面细节的归纳总结或者所得出的结论。例如：‎ If you buy some well-made clothes, you can save money because they can last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Sometimes some clothes cost more money, but it does not mean that they are always better made, or they always fit better. In other words, some less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.‎ 这段文章前面列举了两件事实，最后一句是对这两个事实的概括：有些价钱便宜的衣服比价钱贵的衣服更好看，更合身。段末这个句子就是主题句。‎ 三、无主题句 有时，一篇文章里并没有明显的主题句。这时我们应该怎样来确定文章的主题或中心意思呢？其实这也不难。我们可以首先找出每一段的中心意思，各段的中心意思往往都是围绕一个中心来展开的，或者说是来说明一个问题的。这个中心或这个问题就是这篇文章的主题或中心意思。‎ Killer bees started in Brazil 1957. A scientist in Sao Paulo wanted bees to make more honey(蜂蜜). So he put forty-six African bees with some Brazilian bees. The bees bred(繁殖) and made a new kind of bees. But the new bees were a mistake. They didn’t want to make more honey. They wanted to attack. Then, by accident, twenty-six African bees escaped and bred with the Brazilian bees outside.‎ Scientists could not control(控制) the problem. The bees increased fast. They went from Brazil to Venezuela. Then they went to Central America. Now they are in North America. They travel about 390 miles a year. Each group of bees grows four times a year. This means one million new groups every five years. Why are people afraid of killer bees? People are afraid for two reasons. First, the bees sting(叮) many more times than usual bees. Killer bees can sting sixty times a minute nonstop for two hours. Second, killer bees attack in groups. Four hundred bee stings can kill a person.‎ Already several hundred people are dead. Now killer bees are in Texas. In a few years they will reach all over the United States. People can do nothing but wait.‎ 这篇短文表面看起来没有主题句，那末怎样来确定它的中心意思呢？按照上面的说明，我们先找出每一段的大意：第一段讲的是killer bees的产生。第二段讲的是 killer bees 的急剧增加。第三段讲的是人们害怕 killer bees 的原因。第四段讲的是 killer bees 已经杀死的人数和将来的状况。从这几段的大意可以看出这篇文章自始至终都是围绕 killer bees 这一中心展开的。换句话说，killer bees 就是这篇文章的主题。‎ 中考英语阅读理解题精编精讲 阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。‎ ‎(1)‎ We were going to play against a team from a country school.‎ They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worse than we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.‎ We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.‎ The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward(前锋). From out of nowhere a boy in an old T-shirt stopped the ball and with beautiful style(姿势) he shot and got two points. Then another two points in a minute. Soon the game was all over. We were beaten by the country team.‎ After that, we thought a lot. We certainly learned that even though your team is very good, you can’t look down upon the others and still need to do your best. And the most important lesson we learned was: One can’t judge (判断) a person or a team only by their clothes.‎ ‎1. The team from the country were in old clothes so the writer’s team ______.‎ A. looked down upon them B. couldn’t win C. didn’t like the city boy D. were afraid of them ‎2.

On the street, men almost always walk or cross the street on the closer side of the ladies to the traffic. But if a man walks with two ladies, he should walk between them. Then if the host (男主人) or hostess(女主人) or both of them come in a car to get their guest for dinner, the guest should sit at the front seat and leave the back seat though there is no people sitting on it.‎ ‎1.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.‎ When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.‎ But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.‎ ‎1. We know that the word “cool” has had ______.‎ A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning ‎2.

He didn’t plant it in the ground, however. He planted it in a vase of soil(泥土). For the next five years, the scientist watered that willow carefully.‎ The willow grew and grew. Where did it get the food for its growth? To most people, this was an easy question. The willow plant, of course, took the food from the soil.‎ The scientist, however, wanted evidence(证据).If the willow took the food from the soil for its growth, then, as it grew and weighed more, the soil ought to weigh less. He weighed the willow branch before he planted it. It weighed five pounds. Then he weighed the soil. It weighed 200 pounds. After five years, he weighed the plant and the soil again. The willow tree weighed 169 pounds, but the soil weighed almost the same.‎ The result(结果) was surprising. Where did the 164 pounds come from?‎ After many investigations(调查), the scientist got the answer. He had given water to the willow, and the willow got its food from the water.‎ He was right, in a way. Today we know more about the question.‎ ‎1. The scientist did the experiment in the sixteenth century.‎ ‎2. Most people thought the plant got the food from the soil for its growth.‎ ‎3. The soil in the vase weighed two hundred pounds.‎ ‎4. The scientist found that the willow grew and weighed more and the soil weighed less.‎ ‎5. The soil weighed 164 pounds after five years.‎ ‎6. Now we know about the question as much as the scientist did.‎ ‎(2)‎ Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think their parents are too strict with them, and they are never given a free hand.‎ Parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust(信任) and they seem to forget how they themselves felt when they were young.‎ For example, young people like to do things without much thinking. It’s one of their ways to show that they grow up and they can do with any difficult things. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan(计划) things ahead and don’t like their plans to be changed.‎ When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success (成功) if you ask before you really start doing it.‎ Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they want, the music they enjoy and something else. But they don’t mean to cause (引起) any trouble. They just feel that in this way they can be cut off from the old people’s world and they want to make a new culture (文化) of their own. And if their parents don’t like their music or clothes or their manner of speech, the young people feel very unhappy.‎ Sometimes you even don’t want your parents to say, “Yes” to what you do. You want to stay at home alone and do what you like.‎ If you plan to control (控制) your life, you’d better win your parents trust and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have high sense of responsibility (责任感), they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.‎ ‎1. When young people are with their parents, they don’t feel pleased.‎ ‎2. What young people think is different from what older people do.‎ ‎3. What young people do is to make their parents unhappy.‎ ‎4. When children grow up, they hope to let them do everything alone.‎ ‎5. If you try to get your parents to understand you, you must do well in everything.‎ ‎(3)‎ Now TV programs play an important part in our daily life.

The accommodation wasn’t wonderful, but we had everything we needed (beds, blankets, food ), and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air. ‎ On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn’t know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area. ‎ We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves (岩洞) first. Climbing out was harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last. Though we were covered with mud, we were pleased and excited by what we’d done. ‎ This passage mainly talks about ______________. ‎ A. the writer’s friends at the Activity Center ‎ B. the writer’s experience at the Activity Center ‎ C. outdoor sports at the Activity Center ‎ D. how to go rock-climbing and caving ‎ ‎[参考答案B] 上述这段短文的中心是说明“the writer’s experience at the Activity Center.”。作者以及作者的朋友，还有组上的其他一些成员一起在活动中心度周末的一些活动以及感受。‎ ‎(2) 掌握具体事实和重要细节：阅读文章时，要求学生养成辨认和记忆具体事实、重要细节的习惯。因为具体事实、重要细节是主题句的扩展、补充、说明或例证，是用来支持和说明中心思想的，而且是阅读理解测试的重要组成部分。‎ 如：If someone asks me: “Do you like music?” I’m sure I will answer him or her: “Of course, I do.” because I think music is an important part of our lives. ‎ Different people have different ideas about music. For me, I like rock music because it’s so exciting. And my favorite rock band, the “Foxy Ladies” (酷妹) is one of the most famous rock bands in the world. I also like pop music. My classmate LiLan loves dance music, because she enjoys dancing. My best friend, Jane, likes jazz music (爵士乐). She thinks jazz is really cool. ‎ ‎“I like dance music and rock very much.” says my brother, “because they are amazing.” ‎ But my mother thinks rock is boring. “I like some relaxing (轻松的) music,” she says. That’s why she likes country music, I think. ‎ ‎①The writer likes music because he thinks ____________. ‎ A. it’s an exciting part of our lives ‎ B. it’s an amazing part of our lives ‎ C. it’s an important part of our lives ‎ ‎②What kind of music does the writer like? ‎ A. Rock and pop music. B. Rock and dance music. C. Jazz and country music. ‎ ‎③Who likes dancing? ‎ A. The writer. B. Li Lan. C. Jane. ‎ ‎④The writer’s mother thinks that country music is __________. ‎ A. amazing B. boring C. relaxing ‎⑤ How many people’s ideas about music are talked about in this passage (短文)?‎ A. 4. B. 5. C. 6.‎ 这是几道重要事实和细节的辨认题，全是围绕短文的主题句“Different people have different ideas about music”来展开说明的，起补充举例作用。答案分别为 ① C ② A ③ B ④ C ⑤ B。 ‎ ‎(3) 运用构词法、语境线索等帮助来推测关键词义：在阅读文章的过程中，常常会遇到一些生词，如果不懂得这些词义就会妨碍理解，但大部分生词的词义是可以根据上下文，结合构词法、借助文章中的语境线索帮助在理解基础上猜测其词义，这有助于加快阅读速度，提高阅读理解能力。如：‎ Water is all around us. Water is in the ocean. Water is in the lakes and rivers. Water is in the air. There is more water than land on the earth. All living things must have it. We must have it, too. We cannot live without drinking water. Sometimes, we do not have all the water that we need. The land will dry up without water. Sometimes, there can be too much water in the land. If it rains very, very hard, the rain water will run down the hill. It takes some of the land with it when it runs down the hills. It is called erosion when the water takes the land away.‎ ‎“Erosion” in the passage means ____________.‎ A. 地震 B. 雪崩 C. 侵蚀 D. 霜冻 ‎ 根据前面的语句If it rains very, very hard, the rain water will run down the hills. It takes some of the land with it when it runs down the hills.解释可以推知erosion是一种自然地理现象，即“侵蚀”，答案为C。‎ ‎2. 训练阅读速度 在阅读中，我们或多或少会碰到一些生词和不熟悉的短语，这些生词和短语会妨碍我们对文章中心的理解，但我们总是查阅词典也会影响阅读的速度。为了不查词典又能破解生词词义，并理解好文章的中心，要求考生根据构词法判断词义。如：This material is unreadable.中 unreadable是生词。学生可以根据词根 read ，知道 un和 able分别为前缀和后缀，那么 unreadable的意义就不难猜测了；还可以培养学生根据生词与上下文的关系来猜测其意义。生词所在的句子、段落会提供很多的暗示和线索，依据这些暗示和线索就可以理解生词的词义了。如：同义词反义词线索；解释性线索；例证性线索；标点符号线索等。如：‎ A. The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year.‎ 定语从句中的 looks after sheep 就解释了 herdsman的词义为“牧人”。‎ B. Like her younger sister who is gregarious, Alice also likes to make friends.句首的 like（像）这个语境线索说明：句中的gregarious与 likes to make friends意义相近。‎ 通过这些方式可以帮助学生加快阅读速度，进一步提高阅读正确率。‎ ‎3. 改进阅读方式 ‎（1）预测：培养学生依据文章标题（副标题）、插图以及相关的背景知识和社会生活经验，对文章的大致内容预测以及可能涉及到的词汇，然后阅读文章的第一段，并对自己的预测进行验证、纠正，同时抓住主题句、关键词，从而更好地从整体上去理解和把握文章的中心。‎ ‎（2）略读：指导学生快速浏览全文，领会文章大意，辨析文体，掌握篇章结构，进而抓住文章的中心。‎ ‎3）查读：指导学生在浏览全文的基础上进行查读，以回答个别事实细节性的问题。有些细节性的问题不能直接在短文中找到答案，必须进行必要的综合、归纳、转换才能获得，也就是要在直接可获得的事实和细节的基础上经过综合、归纳、转换间接地获得所需要的事实和细节。它通常涉及数据、时间、人称、代词的指代、动作的行为的关联、动作行为者与承受者、地点和空间、表态方式、因果、条件、内涵与外延等。如： ‎ One day Mrs Wison went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center. ‎ ‎“Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Wilson said. “Help me check the prices, please.” ‎ The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, “We don’t think you saved money by going to the supermarket.” “Of course I did,” Mrs. Wilson said “Everything was cheaper there.” ‎ ‎“We know,” the children said, “but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry. The taxi fare was more than the money that you saved !” ‎ Mrs Wilson added everything up. Her children were right.‎ ‎“Well done,” she said. “Next time we’ll do the shopping nearby.” ‎ ‎①The things at the corner store were ____ than those in the supermarket.‎ A. cheaper B. nicer C. more expensive D. Better ‎ ‎② Mrs. Wilson _________ in the end. ‎ A. spent more money B. paid less money ‎ C. lost some money D. saved a little money ‎ 这两个问题都是细节性问题，但又不能直接从文章中得出答案，要经过分析和计算间接地获得事实细节。①选C。由 Mrs. Wilson 的话“Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home. ”分析可知the things at the corner store were more expensive.②选A。 Mrs. Wilson 在超级市场买的东西是便宜的，但返回时由于东西多结果打的士回家将打的士的费用摊进去就高于节省的费用了，因此可以知道：Mrs. Wilson spent more money in the end.‎ ‎4. 扩大英语阅读量 目前初中英语教科书所提供的阅读量较以前有较大幅度的增加，在题材、体裁的选取，功能与话题的设计方面均注意到多样化和广泛性；内容贴近学生实际，教师可以立足教材阅读材料指导和训练学生阅读方法与技巧，教学语言知识和指导学生掌握句法、语法，扩大词汇量，培养阅读兴趣，帮助学生奠定一定的英语阅读能力。但教材中的阅读量离大纲和课标要求的阅读量远远不够。课标五级阅读要求规定：除教材外，课外阅读量应 达到15万字以上。因此教师要督促学生精读泛读结合，通过广泛的阅读不仅有利于学生扩大词汇量，丰富语言知识、开阔视野，开拓思路，还有利于了解英美等国的文化背景、生活风俗、思维习惯及英语特有的语言表达方式，从而提高阅读理解能力。‎ 泛读时，要求学生对阅读材料中的各种语言现象不作全面精细认真的分析，而是根据已掌握的语言知识尽快地获取所需要的信息。‎ ‎5. 强化阅读训练 ‎(1) 指定阅读范围：教师按学生的英语水平将其分成不同的组别，选择与之相适应的英语读物（配有一定量的问题），分别规定阅读的范围，要求他们课外自行安排时间，带着问题快速阅读，并规定一个较宽松的期限进行检查。‎ ‎(2) 进行阅读指导：对学生阅读过程中遇到的疑难，教师要及时答疑辅导，以帮助学生顺利阅读。但要注意从学法上多加以指导，帮助和引导他们自行分析和解决问题。‎ ‎(3) 检查阅读效果：到了规定的阅读期限教师可以通过口头练习和笔试结合的方式分组检查学生阅读任务完成的情况。口头练习以学生回答有关问题、讲述阅读文章的心得为主；笔试检查要求学生完成正误判断题，选择题，填空题等。‎ ‎(4) 展示阅读效果：利用英语课外活动，通过开展书评、辩论会、演讲会等活动来展示不同组学生课外泛读的成果。分A、B组评论读物；讨论读物的人物特征、主要情节等，让学生在宽松的氛围中各抒己见，互相交流，从而促进学生阅读时积极思考，认真阅读，同时加深对读物的理解，培养表达能力。‎ ‎6. 加强评估指导 通过评估测试可以检测学生阅读理解实际能力与水平，可以摸清学生的强项与不足，从而为进一步培养学生阅读能力提供依据。教师要充分发挥阅读测试的指挥棒作用。阅读测试文章选材要广泛多样，篇幅要恰当，难易要适中，从而确保阅读测试的信度和效度；在题型设计上做到主观性题型和客观性题型兼顾，并针对学生平时阅读中反映出来的重点、难点与疑点，避免题型过于单一以及偏题、怪题现象，更不能片面追求试题难度。客观性测试题要能通过阅读文章直接找到答案；主观性测试题要能在阅读短文后通过上下文，运用联想、比较、归纳、分析判断文章的隐含意义。测试后要认真进行分析和总结，做到发现问题及时解决，以便进一步提高。‎
