2010年中考英语备考名师精品资料――阅读理解
一、解题策略指导
阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是:
1.读材料的主旨和大意,以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。
2.既理解具体的事实,也理解抽象的概念。
3.既理解字面的意思,也理解深层次的含义,包括作者的态度,意图等。
4.既理解某句,某段的含义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并据此进行推理和判断。
5.既能根据所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。
中考英语阅读理解题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力,包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评价能力等。
试题中所选的阅读文章题材多样化,涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面。(这要求学生平时对各方面的知识都有所积累,做个有心人)体裁多样化,包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格(要求学生能看懂这类阅读材料尤其是时下出题的趋势)等各种文体。它要求考生阅读理解准确度高、阅读速度快。
大致来说,主要针对如下方面:1.文章的个别词或句子,可以给出生词让学生猜意,对此类题目学生应尽量在阅读材料中找定义或解释;2.文章的某细节或情节;3.文章的主题;4.文章的背景知识;5.文章的结论或结局;6.文章内涵的隐义或寓意等。主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力,包括阅读、理解、归纳概括、逻辑推理以及对材料的评估能力等。
具体来讲主要有以下几种题型:
具体信息:这种题目比较简单,只要通读全文,了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节,就可以解答出来,有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。
语义理解:题目要求对文中个别难词、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。
逻辑推理: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。
归纳概括: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、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。
词意判断:要求根据上下文判断短文中词或短语的意思。
在阅读过程中要重视培养自我阅读能力,根据不同的阅读目的和要求,采取不同的阅读方法和策略。
提高阅读能力所常用的阅读技巧主要有细读、略读、全读等。
扫读:是一种快速阅读方法,主要在于对文章信息的精确定位,锁定重要信息,如找出人物、时间、地点、数字等。
略读:也是一种快速阅读,目的是读取文章的主旨大意。与扫读不同的是,略读是跳跃式的,略掉一些东西不读,取出短文中的关键性东西。
细读:细读是完全阅读,目的包括(1)确定中心思想及标题;(2)了解用以阐述中心思想的事实及细节;(3)对作者的暗示或隐含思想进行判断、推理、引申;(4)根据上下文推测词义。
扩大视距:要以意群为单位,注重对整句话的理解,扩大注视空间。
带问题阅读:先浏览短文后面的题目,做到心中有数,带着目的去阅读,以提高阅读实效。
根据上下文猜测词意:遇到生词,要根据上下文线索和暗示、上下文的联系、常识和经验推断或猜测词意。

答案

解析
本题属于阅读理解正误判断题。从文章的选材来看,是一篇故事性的短文。内容大意是描写一个叫Jeff的年青人,他不想去服兵役,在体检时假装自己的视力不好而去欺骗医生。医生相信了他,因此他不能去参军。而晚上在电影院时,Jeff碰巧又遇到了医生。Jeff非常聪明,又用一句谎言而蒙混过关。此阅读材料共设三道小题:
第一小题题干的意思是说这个年青人想当兵。文章中没有一句话直接告诉考生这句话的答案是不对的,但从整个短文的意思来看,他是不喜欢参军的,否则他也不能假装视力不好。这道题属于推理判断题。
第二道小题,题干的意思是说医生开始的时候相信了年青人的话。这道题属于语义理解性题目,在短文中第六段中“Atlastthedoctorthoughttheyoungman’seyesightwastoopoor.”这句话中可以看出答案是正确的。
第三道小题意思是说这个年青人的视力真的不好。这道题的设题上属于逻辑推理性题目,因为从文章的最后一段可知,他视力如果不好,就不可能去看电影,也不可能认出医生来。本道题是阅读理解中的第一篇,故事情节幽默,句子简单易懂。难度不大,旨在缓和考生面对中考时的紧张情绪。考生在答题中先读懂短文,理解短文的大意和脉络,然后依据短文内容对试题后给出的句子进行是非判断。同进,对每一道题进行判断时,应从文章的具体段落和句子中找到判断的依据,不能凭印象想当然。对有些似是而非的句子,一定要认真识别,只有完全符合文章意思的方可判定为正确。

答案
1—4ABDC
解析
本题属于阅读理解选择题,是中考阅读理解最常见的题型。本文是一篇科普性的文章,通过介绍我国科学家袁隆平及他所培育的杂交水稻,以及他在自己平凡的工作岗位上为国家做出的杰出贡献,向学生渗透热爱科学的理念,培养学生脚踏实地,认真做事、做学问的求实精神。
第一道小题的设题属于语义理解性题目,在世界的什么地方可以种植水稻,从文章中的第一段中“Farmersgrowriceinmanycountries”,只有答案A中用的“lotsof”这个词,many与lotsof是同义词,因此从这句话可以选出答案A是正确的。
第二道小题也属于语义理解性题目,从第二段的第一句话“Chinaistheworld’slargestrice-growingcountry.”可以推断出答案B是正确的。
第三道小题属于直接理解性题目,从第二段中的“Itmakes20%morericethananyotherkind.”可以选出答案D是正确的。
第四道小题属于归纳概括性题目,需认真阅读全文,仔细推敲每个答案:答案A具有片面性,文章中说他是theFatherofHybridRice而不是theFatherofRice;答案B的题干是hisricetofeedallChinese,而在文章中说halfofChina’sriceplantsareYuan’sspecialhybridrice,此答案明显是不正确的;答案C是正确的;答案D的题干是growingdifferentkindsofrice,而从文章中可以得知YuanLongping只是种植杂交水稻。答题时考生要在正确理解短文内容的基础上,认真看清短文后的题目内容和要求,然后根据短文内容,运用分析、排除等方法选择正确答案。对短文中没有直接说明又无法从短文所提供的材料上明确做出判断的,就要在理解字面意思的基础上进行深入分析、推理,或联想短文材料以外的常识加以考虑,从而推断出正确答案。

2.Allthepeople.
3.Twice./ThestudentscookChinesefoodtwiceamonth.
4.FilmNight,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNight.
解析
本题属于阅读理解回答问题题。文章的题材是考生熟悉的校园生活的短文,是有关学生的课外活动,共涉及了四个活动的名称,介绍了活动相关的时间、内容和参加人员等等。第一道小题,问的是每个月学生们多长时间看一次电影,属于考查细节。从文章中的第二段中的第一句话“EveryweekthereisaFilmNightofpopularChineseandEnglishfilms.”可以看出是每周看一次电影,而一个月通常是四周,因此答案应是Fourtimes。
第二道小题,问的是谁能参加中国书法课?属于语义理解性题目,通过对文章中的第三段的“Theseareopentothewholecity.”这句话的理解,可以知道此小题目的答案应是Allthepeople。
第三道小题,问的是学生一个月做几次中国食品。此题的设题同第一小题是相同的,也属于考查细节性题目。从第二段中的“Everytwoweeks”中可以知道每两周一次,那么一个月就应该是两次,因此正确答案应是Twice。
第四道小题,问题是学校有哪些活动?此题属于归纳概括性题目,需在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章做出归纳,共有四个,分别是FilmNight,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNight。考生在答此类试题时,首先弄清楚问的是什么信息(what,when,where,why,how等);然后再根据对文章的理解和把握组织自己的语言,写出正确答案。可以用完整的回答方式,如(Theycanseefilmsfourtimesamonth.),也可用简短的回答方式,如(Fourtimes.)。此道题考查了学生的综合概括能力和处理信息的能力。
例四:
Fillineachblankaccordingtowhatyouread,onlyonewordforeachblank.
1.Theweatherreportsaysitwillbe______ineastcoasts.Ifyougothere,you’dbettertakean______withyou.
2.Thefootballmatchwillbe______inJinzhouStadiumon______.
3.Youcan’tborrow______fivebookseachtimeandyoushould______forwatchingvideos.
4.Adultscan’tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung____________.
答案
1.rainy,umbrella2.held,Sunday
3.over,pay4.listeners,alone/themselves
解析
本题属于阅读理解填空题。所选文章的体裁是实用文体,有图表、广告、海报等形式,图文并茂,所涉及的内容有球赛、天气预报、音乐会和图书馆书目、音像简介等,具有时代感强、实用性强、可读性强的特点,贴近学生的日常生活。
第一道小题设题是有关天气的,第一个空问的是在ineastcoasts的天气是什么样的?属于考查细节性题目,从文章中的“Eastcoastswillhaverain.”此句话中可以得知,应是下雨的天气,而设题是“itwillbe______”,应用形容词来形容天气,因此可以得知答案应是rainy;第二空设题属于逻辑推理性题目,you’dbettertakean______withyou.在文章中不能直接找到此题的答案,但是根据对文章意思的理解和推断,下雨就应该带伞了,因此答案应是umbrella。
第二道小题是有关足球比赛的,第一空是考查学生对题干的理解,Thefootballmatchwillbe______inJinzhouStadium,根据句意应填“举行”这一词,答案为held;而第二空on______,此空明显是填相关日期的,属于直接理解性题目,从文章来看,可以填日期,也可填星期,但题目要求只能填一词,因此只能填星期Sunday。
第三道小题是有关图书馆书目的,第一空问的是每次借书的数量,属于语义理解性题目,从文章中borrowfivebooksatmostatonetime这句话中可以得知每次最多是借五本,而设题Youcan’tborrow______fivebookseachtime,当然是不能超过五本了,“超过”这一词应是over。第二空问的是看录像应该怎么样,从文章中的最后一句keepavideoforaweekfor1dollar和设题youshould______forwatchingvideos可以得知是应该付费的,与for搭配的动词是pay。
第四小题是有关音乐节的,设题是Adultscan’tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung____________.从文中“MUSICFORYOUNGLISTENERS”和“Eachadultmustcomewithachild.”这两句话中可以得知,年青人必须和父母一起来,因此答案第一空应为listeners,第二空应为alone/themselves,属于考查细节性题目。考生在解此类题时先认真阅读所给的短文、图表或广告,掌握其内容后,再细读所给待补全的句子。解题时,可带着问题到原文中去寻找答案,寻读原文中与之相关的句子。先确定空格处所填词的词义,然后再判定其词形。解这类题时,应注意信息转换,同义句改写等。

第四道小题属于归纳概括性题目,需认真阅读全文,仔细推敲每个答案:答案A具有片面性,文章中说他是theFatherofHybridRice而不是theFatherofRice;答案B的题干是hisricetofeedallChinese,而在文章中说halfofChina’sriceplantsareYuan’sspecialhybridrice,此答案明显是不正确的;答案C是正确的;答案D的题干是growingdifferentkindsofrice,而从文章中可以得知YuanLongping只是种植杂交水稻。答题时考生要在正确理解短文内容的基础上,认真看清短文后的题目内容和要求,然后根据短文内容,运用分析、排除等方法选择正确答案。对短文中没有直接说明又无法从短文所提供的材料上明确做出判断的,就要在理解字面意思的基础上进行深入分析、推理,或联想短文材料以外的常识加以考虑,从而推断出正确答案。

解析
本题属于阅读理解回答问题题。文章的题材是考生熟悉的校园生活的短文,是有关学生的课外活动,共涉及了四个活动的名称,介绍了活动相关的时间、内容和参加人员等等。第一道小题,问的是每个月学生们多长时间看一次电影,属于考查细节。从文章中的第二段中的第一句话“EveryweekthereisaFilmNightofpopularChineseandEnglishfilms.”可以看出是每周看一次电影,而一个月通常是四周,因此答案应是Fourtimes。
第二道小题,问的是谁能参加中国书法课?属于语义理解性题目,通过对文章中的第三段的“Theseareopentothewholecity.”这句话的理解,可以知道此小题目的答案应是Allthepeople。
第三道小题,问的是学生一个月做几次中国食品。此题的设题同第一小题是相同的,也属于考查细节性题目。从第二段中的“Everytwoweeks”中可以知道每两周一次,那么一个月就应该是两次,因此正确答案应是Twice。
第四道小题,问题是学校有哪些活动?此题属于归纳概括性题目,需在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章做出归纳,共有四个,分别是FilmNight,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNight。考生在答此类试题时,首先弄清楚问的是什么信息(what,when,where,why,how等);然后再根据对文章的理解和把握组织自己的语言,写出正确答案。可以用完整的回答方式,如(Theycanseefilmsfourtimesamonth.),也可用简短的回答方式,如(Fourtimes.)。此道题考查了学生的综合概括能力和处理信息的能力。
例四:
Fillineachblankaccordingtowhatyouread,onlyonewordforeachblank.
1.Theweatherreportsaysitwillbe______ineastcoasts.Ifyougothere,you’dbettertakean______withyou.
2.Thefootballmatchwillbe______inJinzhouStadiumon______.
3.Youcan’tborrow______fivebookseachtimeandyoushould______forwatchingvideos.
4.Adultscan’tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung____________.
答案
1.rainy,umbrella2.held,Sunday
3.over,pay4.listeners,alone/themselves
解析
本题属于阅读理解填空题。所选文章的体裁是实用文体,有图表、广告、海报等形式,图文并茂,所涉及的内容有球赛、天气预报、音乐会和图书馆书目、音像简介等,具有时代感强、实用性强、可读性强的特点,贴近学生的日常生活。
第一道小题设题是有关天气的,第一个空问的是在ineastcoasts的天气是什么样的?属于考查细节性题目,从文章中的“Eastcoastswillhaverain.”此句话中可以得知,应是下雨的天气,而设题是“itwillbe______”,应用形容词来形容天气,因此可以得知答案应是rainy;第二空设题属于逻辑推理性题目,you’dbettertakean______withyou.在文章中不能直接找到此题的答案,但是根据对文章意思的理解和推断,下雨就应该带伞了,因此答案应是umbrella。
第二道小题是有关足球比赛的,第一空是考查学生对题干的理解,Thefootballmatchwillbe______inJinzhouStadium,根据句意应填“举行”这一词,答案为held;而第二空on______,此空明显是填相关日期的,属于直接理解性题目,从文章来看,可以填日期,也可填星期,但题目要求只能填一词,因此只能填星期Sunday。
第三道小题是有关图书馆书目的,第一空问的是每次借书的数量,属于语义理解性题目,从文章中borrowfivebooksatmostatonetime这句话中可以得知每次最多是借五本,而设题Youcan’tborrow______fivebookseachtime,当然是不能超过五本了,“超过”这一词应是over。第二空问的是看录像应该怎么样,从文章中的最后一句keepavideoforaweekfor1dollar和设题youshould______forwatchingvideos可以得知是应该付费的,与for搭配的动词是pay。
第四小题是有关音乐节的,设题是Adultscan’tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung____________.从文中“MUSICFORYOUNGLISTENERS”和“Eachadultmustcomewithachild.”这两句话中可以得知,年青人必须和父母一起来,因此答案第一空应为listeners,第二空应为alone/themselves,属于考查细节性题目。考生在解此类题时先认真阅读所给的短文、图表或广告,掌握其内容后,再细读所给待补全的句子。解题时,可带着问题到原文中去寻找答案,寻读原文中与之相关的句子。先确定空格处所填词的词义,然后再判定其词形。解这类题时,应注意信息转换,同义句改写等。

三解题方法
1.吃透原句。在答题时,首先要弄清所给句子的句型结构,主语的人称和数,谓语动词的形式以及全句的意思。
2.明确类型。要弄懂题意,看清所属类型,不要盲目动笔。
3.注意时态一致,即原句为什么时态句子应用什么时态。
四、备考建议:
1.课堂上尽可能多用“英英式”教学,即用学生已知的简单英语去解释学生未知的英语。
2.强化“一种汉语多种英语表达”的训练。
3.强化名词的单复数、形容词的级、动词的时态、语态以及动词的ing形式、过去式和过去分词的训练及记忆。
4.帮助学生归纳,对各种类型要精讲精练,不要盲目搞题海战。

2010年中考英语备考名师精品资料――阅读理解
一、解题策略指导
阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是:
1.读材料的主旨和大意,以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。
2.既理解具体的事实,也理解抽象的概念。
3.既理解字面的意思,也理解深层次的含义,包括作者的态度,意图等。
4.既理解某句,某段的含义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并据此进行推理和判断。
5.既能根据所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。
中考英语阅读理解题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力,包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评价能力等。
试题中所选的阅读文章题材多样化,涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面。(这要求学生平时对各方面的知识都有所积累,做个有心人)体裁多样化,包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格(要求学生能看懂这类阅读材料尤其是时下出题的趋势)等各种文体。它要求考生阅读理解准确度高、阅读速度快。
大致来说,主要针对如下方面:1.文章的个别词或句子,可以给出生词让学生猜意,对此类题目学生应尽量在阅读材料中找定义或解释;2.文章的某细节或情节;3.文章的主题;4.文章的背景知识;5.文章的结论或结局;6.文章内涵的隐义或寓意等。主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力,包括阅读、理解、归纳概括、逻辑推理以及对材料的评估能力等。
具体来讲主要有以下几种题型:
具体信息:这种题目比较简单,只要通读全文,了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节,就可以解答出来,有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。
语义理解:题目要求对文中个别难词、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。
逻辑推理: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。
归纳概括: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、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。
词意判断:要求根据上下文判断短文中词或短语的意思。
在阅读过程中要重视培养自我阅读能力,根据不同的阅读目的和要求,采取不同的阅读方法和策略。
提高阅读能力所常用的阅读技巧主要有细读、略读、全读等。
扫读:是一种快速阅读方法,主要在于对文章信息的精确定位,锁定重要信息,如找出人物、时间、地点、数字等。
略读:也是一种快速阅读,目的是读取文章的主旨大意。与扫读不同的是,略读是跳跃式的,略掉一些东西不读,取出短文中的关键性东西。
细读:细读是完全阅读,目的包括(1)确定中心思想及标题;(2)了解用以阐述中心思想的事实及细节;(3)对作者的暗示或隐含思想进行判断、推理、引申;(4)根据上下文推测词义。
扩大视距:要以意群为单位,注重对整句话的理解,扩大注视空间。
带问题阅读:先浏览短文后面的题目,做到心中有数,带着目的去阅读,以提高阅读实效。
根据上下文猜测词意:遇到生词,要根据上下文线索和暗示、上下文的联系、常识和经验推断或猜测词意。

2.Atfirstthedoctorbelievedwhattheyoungmanhadsaid.
3.Theyoungman’seyesightwasreallyweak.
答案
1—3FTF
解析
本题属于阅读理解正误判断题。从文章的选材来看,是一篇故事性的短文。内容大意是描写一个叫Jeff的年青人,他不想去服兵役,在体检时假装自己的视力不好而去欺骗医生。医生相信了他,因此他不能去参军。而晚上在电影院时,Jeff碰巧又遇到了医生。Jeff非常聪明,又用一句谎言而蒙混过关。此阅读材料共设三道小题:
第一小题题干的意思是说这个年青人想当兵。文章中没有一句话直接告诉考生这句话的答案是不对的,但从整个短文的意思来看,他是不喜欢参军的,否则他也不能假装视力不好。这道题属于推理判断题。
第二道小题,题干的意思是说医生开始的时候相信了年青人的话。这道题属于语义理解性题目,在短文中第六段中“Atlastthedoctorthoughttheyoungman’seyesightwastoopoor.”这句话中可以看出答案是正确的。
第三道小题意思是说这个年青人的视力真的不好。这道题的设题上属于逻辑推理性题目,因为从文章的最后一段可知,他视力如果不好,就不可能去看电影,也不可能认出医生来。本道题是阅读理解中的第一篇,故事情节幽默,句子简单易懂。难度不大,旨在缓和考生面对中考时的紧张情绪。考生在答题中先读懂短文,理解短文的大意和脉络,然后依据短文内容对试题后给出的句子进行是非判断。同进,对每一道题进行判断时,应从文章的具体段落和句子中找到判断的依据,不能凭印象想当然。对有些似是而非的句子,一定要认真识别,只有完全符合文章意思的方可判定为正确。

答案
1—4ABDC
解析
本题属于阅读理解选择题,是中考阅读理解最常见的题型。本文是一篇科普性的文章,通过介绍我国科学家袁隆平及他所培育的杂交水稻,以及他在自己平凡的工作岗位上为国家做出的杰出贡献,向学生渗透热爱科学的理念,培养学生脚踏实地,认真做事、做学问的求实精神。
第一道小题的设题属于语义理解性题目,在世界的什么地方可以种植水稻,从文章中的第一段中“Farmersgrowriceinmanycountries”,只有答案A中用的“lotsof”这个词,many与lotsof是同义词,因此从这句话可以选出答案A是正确的。
第二道小题也属于语义理解性题目,从第二段的第一句话“Chinaistheworld’slargestrice-growingcountry.”可以推断出答案B是正确的。
第三道小题属于直接理解性题目,从第二段中的“Itmakes20%morericethananyotherkind.”可以选出答案D是正确的。
第四道小题属于归纳概括性题目,需认真阅读全文,仔细推敲每个答案:答案A具有片面性,文章中说他是theFatherofHybridRice而不是theFatherofRice;答案B的题干是hisricetofeedallChinese,而在文章中说halfofChina’sriceplantsareYuan’sspecialhybridrice,此答案明显是不正确的;答案C是正确的;答案D的题干是growingdifferentkindsofrice,而从文章中可以得知YuanLongping只是种植杂交水稻。答题时考生要在正确理解短文内容的基础上,认真看清短文后的题目内容和要求,然后根据短文内容,运用分析、排除等方法选择正确答案。对短文中没有直接说明又无法从短文所提供的材料上明确做出判断的,就要在理解字面意思的基础上进行深入分析、推理,或联想短文材料以外的常识加以考虑,从而推断出正确答案。

2.Allthepeople.
3.Twice./ThestudentscookChinesefoodtwiceamonth.
4.FilmNight,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNight.
解析
本题属于阅读理解回答问题题。文章的题材是考生熟悉的校园生活的短文,是有关学生的课外活动,共涉及了四个活动的名称,介绍了活动相关的时间、内容和参加人员等等。第一道小题,问的是每个月学生们多长时间看一次电影,属于考查细节。从文章中的第二段中的第一句话“EveryweekthereisaFilmNightofpopularChineseandEnglishfilms.”可以看出是每周看一次电影,而一个月通常是四周,因此答案应是Fourtimes。
第二道小题,问的是谁能参加中国书法课?属于语义理解性题目,通过对文章中的第三段的“Theseareopentothewholecity.”这句话的理解,可以知道此小题目的答案应是Allthepeople。
第三道小题,问的是学生一个月做几次中国食品。此题的设题同第一小题是相同的,也属于考查细节性题目。从第二段中的“Everytwoweeks”中可以知道每两周一次,那么一个月就应该是两次,因此正确答案应是Twice。
第四道小题,问题是学校有哪些活动?此题属于归纳概括性题目,需在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章做出归纳,共有四个,分别是FilmNight,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNight。考生在答此类试题时,首先弄清楚问的是什么信息(what,when,where,why,how等);然后再根据对文章的理解和把握组织自己的语言,写出正确答案。可以用完整的回答方式,如(Theycanseefilmsfourtimesamonth.),也可用简短的回答方式,如(Fourtimes.)。此道题考查了学生的综合概括能力和处理信息的能力。
例四:
Fillineachblankaccordingtowhatyouread,onlyonewordforeachblank.
1.Theweatherreportsaysitwillbe______ineastcoasts.Ifyougothere,you’dbettertakean______withyou.
2.Thefootballmatchwillbe______inJinzhouStadiumon______.
3.Youcan’tborrow______fivebookseachtimeandyoushould______forwatchingvideos.
4.Adultscan’tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung____________.
答案
1.rainy,umbrella2.held,Sunday
3.over,pay4.listeners,alone/themselves
解析
本题属于阅读理解填空题。所选文章的体裁是实用文体,有图表、广告、海报等形式,图文并茂,所涉及的内容有球赛、天气预报、音乐会和图书馆书目、音像简介等,具有时代感强、实用性强、可读性强的特点,贴近学生的日常生活。
第一道小题设题是有关天气的,第一个空问的是在ineastcoasts的天气是什么样的?属于考查细节性题目,从文章中的“Eastcoastswillhaverain.”此句话中可以得知,应是下雨的天气,而设题是“itwillbe______”,应用形容词来形容天气,因此可以得知答案应是rainy;第二空设题属于逻辑推理性题目,you’dbettertakean______withyou.在文章中不能直接找到此题的答案,但是根据对文章意思的理解和推断,下雨就应该带伞了,因此答案应是umbrella。
第二道小题是有关足球比赛的,第一空是考查学生对题干的理解,Thefootballmatchwillbe______inJinzhouStadium,根据句意应填“举行”这一词,答案为held;而第二空on______,此空明显是填相关日期的,属于直接理解性题目,从文章来看,可以填日期,也可填星期,但题目要求只能填一词,因此只能填星期Sunday。
第三道小题是有关图书馆书目的,第一空问的是每次借书的数量,属于语义理解性题目,从文章中borrowfivebooksatmostatonetime这句话中可以得知每次最多是借五本,而设题Youcan’tborrow______fivebookseachtime,当然是不能超过五本了,“超过”这一词应是over。第二空问的是看录像应该怎么样,从文章中的最后一句keepavideoforaweekfor1dollar和设题youshould______forwatchingvideos可以得知是应该付费的,与for搭配的动词是pay。
第四小题是有关音乐节的,设题是Adultscan’tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung____________.从文中“MUSICFORYOUNGLISTENERS”和“Eachadultmustcomewithachild.”这两句话中可以得知,年青人必须和父母一起来,因此答案第一空应为listeners,第二空应为alone/themselves,属于考查细节性题目。考生在解此类题时先认真阅读所给的短文、图表或广告,掌握其内容后,再细读所给待补全的句子。解题时,可带着问题到原文中去寻找答案,寻读原文中与之相关的句子。先确定空格处所填词的词义,然后再判定其词形。解这类题时,应注意信息转换,同义句改写等。

三解题方法
1.吃透原句。在答题时,首先要弄清所给句子的句型结构,主语的人称和数,谓语动词的形式以及全句的意思。
2.明确类型。要弄懂题意,看清所属类型,不要盲目动笔。
3.注意时态一致,即原句为什么时态句子应用什么时态。
四、备考建议:
1.课堂上尽可能多用“英英式”教学,即用学生已知的简单英语去解释学生未知的英语。
2.强化“一种汉语多种英语表达”的训练。
3.强化名词的单复数、形容词的级、动词的时态、语态以及动词的ing形式、过去式和过去分词的训练及记忆。
4.帮助学生归纳,对各种类型要精讲精练,不要盲目搞题海战。

2010年中考英语备考名师精品资料――阅读理解
一、解题策略指导
阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是:
1.读材料的主旨和大意,以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。
2.既理解具体的事实,也理解抽象的概念。
3.既理解字面的意思,也理解深层次的含义,包括作者的态度,意图等。
4.既理解某句,某段的含义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并据此进行推理和判断。
5.既能根据所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。
中考英语阅读理解题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力,包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评价能力等。
试题中所选的阅读文章题材多样化,涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面。(这要求学生平时对各方面的知识都有所积累,做个有心人)体裁多样化,包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格(要求学生能看懂这类阅读材料尤其是时下出题的趋势)等各种文体。它要求考生阅读理解准确度高、阅读速度快。
大致来说,主要针对如下方面:1.文章的个别词或句子,可以给出生词让学生猜意,对此类题目学生应尽量在阅读材料中找定义或解释;2.文章的某细节或情节;3.文章的主题;4.文章的背景知识;5.文章的结论或结局;6.文章内涵的隐义或寓意等。主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力,包括阅读、理解、归纳概括、逻辑推理以及对材料的评估能力等。
具体来讲主要有以下几种题型:
具体信息:这种题目比较简单,只要通读全文,了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节,就可以解答出来,有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。
语义理解:题目要求对文中个别难词、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。
逻辑推理: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。
归纳概括: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、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。
词意判断:要求根据上下文判断短文中词或短语的意思。
在阅读过程中要重视培养自我阅读能力,根据不同的阅读目的和要求,采取不同的阅读方法和策略。
提高阅读能力所常用的阅读技巧主要有细读、略读、全读等。
扫读:是一种快速阅读方法,主要在于对文章信息的精确定位,锁定重要信息,如找出人物、时间、地点、数字等。
略读:也是一种快速阅读,目的是读取文章的主旨大意。与扫读不同的是,略读是跳跃式的,略掉一些东西不读,取出短文中的关键性东西。
细读:细读是完全阅读,目的包括(1)确定中心思想及标题;(2)了解用以阐述中心思想的事实及细节;(3)对作者的暗示或隐含思想进行判断、推理、引申;(4)根据上下文推测词义。
扩大视距:要以意群为单位,注重对整句话的理解,扩大注视空间。
带问题阅读:先浏览短文后面的题目,做到心中有数,带着目的去阅读,以提高阅读实效。
根据上下文猜测词意:遇到生词,要根据上下文线索和暗示、上下文的联系、常识和经验推断或猜测词意。

1.Theyoungmanhopedtobeasoldier.
2.Atfirstthedoctorbelievedwhattheyoungmanhadsaid.
3.Theyoungman’seyesightwasreallyweak.
答案
1—3FTF
解析
本题属于阅读理解正误判断题。从文章的选材来看,是一篇故事性的短文。内容大意是描写一个叫Jeff的年青人,他不想去服兵役,在体检时假装自己的视力不好而去欺骗医生。医生相信了他,因此他不能去参军。而晚上在电影院时,Jeff碰巧又遇到了医生。Jeff非常聪明,又用一句谎言而蒙混过关。此阅读材料共设三道小题:
第一小题题干的意思是说这个年青人想当兵。文章中没有一句话直接告诉考生这句话的答案是不对的,但从整个短文的意思来看,他是不喜欢参军的,否则他也不能假装视力不好。这道题属于推理判断题。
第二道小题,题干的意思是说医生开始的时候相信了年青人的话。这道题属于语义理解性题目,在短文中第六段中“Atlastthedoctorthoughttheyoungman’seyesightwastoopoor.”这句话中可以看出答案是正确的。
第三道小题意思是说这个年青人的视力真的不好。这道题的设题上属于逻辑推理性题目,因为从文章的最后一段可知,他视力如果不好,就不可能去看电影,也不可能认出医生来。本道题是阅读理解中的第一篇,故事情节幽默,句子简单易懂。难度不大,旨在缓和考生面对中考时的紧张情绪。考生在答题中先读懂短文,理解短文的大意和脉络,然后依据短文内容对试题后给出的句子进行是非判断。同进,对每一道题进行判断时,应从文章的具体段落和句子中找到判断的依据,不能凭印象想当然。对有些似是而非的句子,一定要认真识别,只有完全符合文章意思的方可判定为正确。

答案
1—4ABDC
解析
本题属于阅读理解选择题,是中考阅读理解最常见的题型。本文是一篇科普性的文章,通过介绍我国科学家袁隆平及他所培育的杂交水稻,以及他在自己平凡的工作岗位上为国家做出的杰出贡献,向学生渗透热爱科学的理念,培养学生脚踏实地,认真做事、做学问的求实精神。
第一道小题的设题属于语义理解性题目,在世界的什么地方可以种植水稻,从文章中的第一段中“Farmersgrowriceinmanycountries”,只有答案A中用的“lotsof”这个词,many与lotsof是同义词,因此从这句话可以选出答案A是正确的。
第二道小题也属于语义理解性题目,从第二段的第一句话“Chinaistheworld’slargestrice-growingcountry.”可以推断出答案B是正确的。
第三道小题属于直接理解性题目,从第二段中的“Itmakes20%morericethananyotherkind.”可以选出答案D是正确的。
第四道小题属于归纳概括性题目,需认真阅读全文,仔细推敲每个答案:答案A具有片面性,文章中说他是theFatherofHybridRice而不是theFatherofRice;答案B的题干是hisricetofeedallChinese,而在文章中说halfofChina’sriceplantsareYuan’sspecialhybridrice,此答案明显是不正确的;答案C是正确的;答案D的题干是growingdifferentkindsofrice,而从文章中可以得知YuanLongping只是种植杂交水稻。答题时考生要在正确理解短文内容的基础上,认真看清短文后的题目内容和要求,然后根据短文内容,运用分析、排除等方法选择正确答案。对短文中没有直接说明又无法从短文所提供的材料上明确做出判断的,就要在理解字面意思的基础上进行深入分析、推理,或联想短文材料以外的常识加以考虑,从而推断出正确答案。

2.Allthepeople.
3.Twice./ThestudentscookChinesefoodtwiceamonth.
4.FilmNight,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNight.
解析
本题属于阅读理解回答问题题。文章的题材是考生熟悉的校园生活的短文,是有关学生的课外活动,共涉及了四个活动的名称,介绍了活动相关的时间、内容和参加人员等等。第一道小题,问的是每个月学生们多长时间看一次电影,属于考查细节。从文章中的第二段中的第一句话“EveryweekthereisaFilmNightofpopularChineseandEnglishfilms.”可以看出是每周看一次电影,而一个月通常是四周,因此答案应是Fourtimes。
第二道小题,问的是谁能参加中国书法课?属于语义理解性题目,通过对文章中的第三段的“Theseareopentothewholecity.”这句话的理解,可以知道此小题目的答案应是Allthepeople。
第三道小题,问的是学生一个月做几次中国食品。此题的设题同第一小题是相同的,也属于考查细节性题目。从第二段中的“Everytwoweeks”中可以知道每两周一次,那么一个月就应该是两次,因此正确答案应是Twice。
第四道小题,问题是学校有哪些活动?此题属于归纳概括性题目,需在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章做出归纳,共有四个,分别是FilmNight,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNight。考生在答此类试题时,首先弄清楚问的是什么信息(what,when,where,why,how等);然后再根据对文章的理解和把握组织自己的语言,写出正确答案。可以用完整的回答方式,如(Theycanseefilmsfourtimesamonth.),也可用简短的回答方式,如(Fourtimes.)。此道题考查了学生的综合概括能力和处理信息的能力。
例四:
Fillineachblankaccordingtowhatyouread,onlyonewordforeachblank.
1.Theweatherreportsaysitwillbe______ineastcoasts.Ifyougothere,you’dbettertakean______withyou.
2.Thefootballmatchwillbe______inJinzhouStadiumon______.
3.Youcan’tborrow______fivebookseachtimeandyoushould______forwatchingvideos.
4.Adultscan’tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung____________.
答案
1.rainy,umbrella2.held,Sunday
3.over,pay4.listeners,alone/themselves
解析
本题属于阅读理解填空题。所选文章的体裁是实用文体,有图表、广告、海报等形式,图文并茂,所涉及的内容有球赛、天气预报、音乐会和图书馆书目、音像简介等,具有时代感强、实用性强、可读性强的特点,贴近学生的日常生活。
第一道小题设题是有关天气的,第一个空问的是在ineastcoasts的天气是什么样的?属于考查细节性题目,从文章中的“Eastcoastswillhaverain.”此句话中可以得知,应是下雨的天气,而设题是“itwillbe______”,应用形容词来形容天气,因此可以得知答案应是rainy;第二空设题属于逻辑推理性题目,you’dbettertakean______withyou.在文章中不能直接找到此题的答案,但是根据对文章意思的理解和推断,下雨就应该带伞了,因此答案应是umbrella。
第二道小题是有关足球比赛的,第一空是考查学生对题干的理解,Thefootballmatchwillbe______inJinzhouStadium,根据句意应填“举行”这一词,答案为held;而第二空on______,此空明显是填相关日期的,属于直接理解性题目,从文章来看,可以填日期,也可填星期,但题目要求只能填一词,因此只能填星期Sunday。
第三道小题是有关图书馆书目的,第一空问的是每次借书的数量,属于语义理解性题目,从文章中borrowfivebooksatmostatonetime这句话中可以得知每次最多是借五本,而设题Youcan’tborrow______fivebookseachtime,当然是不能超过五本了,“超过”这一词应是over。第二空问的是看录像应该怎么样,从文章中的最后一句keepavideoforaweekfor1dollar和设题youshould______forwatchingvideos可以得知是应该付费的,与for搭配的动词是pay。
第四小题是有关音乐节的,设题是Adultscan’tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung____________.从文中“MUSICFORYOUNGLISTENERS”和“Eachadultmustcomewithachild.”这两句话中可以得知,年青人必须和父母一起来,因此答案第一空应为listeners,第二空应为alone/themselves,属于考查细节性题目。考生在解此类题时先认真阅读所给的短文、图表或广告,掌握其内容后,再细读所给待补全的句子。解题时,可带着问题到原文中去寻找答案,寻读原文中与之相关的句子。先确定空格处所填词的词义,然后再判定其词形。解这类题时,应注意信息转换,同义句改写等。

写作指导:
1.写email时首先要考虑来信中提出的、需要你回答的问题,即:whenandwheretogo,howtogetthereandwhattodothere.因此,要结合所给的提示内容,进行合理的写作。
2.因为是书信格式,因此要注意书写部分问候话语。
3.在文字说明时间地点时一定要准确明白,内容表达要清晰,使看信的人对你所写的内容一目了然。
4.要注意正确理解要点中的“以下内容供参考,也可以自行安排计划。”内容,也就是说你可以自行安排合理的旅游路线。但在设计自己的旅游线路时,一定注意内容的长度和句型使用的控制。

写作指导:
1.在书写具体内容时不要忽略了前面的提示内容,即“叫LiMing,是个中学生,经常收听音乐节目”否则书信的内容就不够完整。
2.在使用所给的英文提示词的时候要注意,不能每造一个句子就使用一个提示词;要注意适当地增加部分相关的词语或句子,使书信内容更加完整和有序。
3.在补充所缺的提示内容时,所使用的句型要尽量简洁,明了,内容不能罗唆,必须符合写信的目的。
4.保证在字数上不少于50,以符合写作要求,但也不能多出太多,因为所写的内容越多,就越容易出错。

三解题方法
1.吃透原句。在答题时,首先要弄清所给句子的句型结构,主语的人称和数,谓语动词的形式以及全句的意思。
2.明确类型。要弄懂题意,看清所属类型,不要盲目动笔。
3.注意时态一致,即原句为什么时态句子应用什么时态。
四、备考建议:
1.课堂上尽可能多用“英英式”教学,即用学生已知的简单英语去解释学生未知的英语。
2.强化“一种汉语多种英语表达”的训练。
3.强化名词的单复数、形容词的级、动词的时态、语态以及动词的ing形式、过去式和过去分词的训练及记忆。
4.帮助学生归纳,对各种类型要精讲精练,不要盲目搞题海战。

2.明确类型。要弄懂题意,看清所属类型,不要盲目动笔。
3.注意时态一致,即原句为什么时态句子应用什么时态。
四、备考建议:
1.课堂上尽可能多用“英英式”教学,即用学生已知的简单英语去解释学生未知的英语。
2.强化“一种汉语多种英语表达”的训练。
3.强化名词的单复数、形容词的级、动词的时态、语态以及动词的ing形式、过去式和过去分词的训练及记忆。
4.帮助学生归纳,对各种类型要精讲精练,不要盲目搞题海战。
