中考英语阅读方法
阅读方法 理解一篇文章,首先要明白单词意思,然后是句子,然后是文章主题、篇章结构、作者观点,最后是例子、分析等细节。 首先是单词意思,这个只能靠平时积累词汇,但是也不一定要认识文章中的每个单词,不懂的生词可以从上下文推断。但是有些句子,每个单词的意思都知道,整个句子的意思却一点都读不通。或者每个句子大概意思都明白,但是整篇文章却把握不了。这就需要我们掌握正确的阅读方法。 一、句子——长难句分析 文章中出现套了一层甚至两三层的长难句,会非常影响我们的理解。出现长难句的时候,我们不应慌张,只需要冷静分析句子结构,搞清句子成分之间的关系,就能清晰地梳理整个句子的意思。 2011年河南省中考B篇 The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.

Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future. 2011年湖北黄冈市中考第1篇 “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building.

The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket. I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face. Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do no." Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mm-k enjoyed giving them to us. I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire.

B Everyone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep. If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality.

For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well. Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought. Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway. “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said. “I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbour!” The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials(材料) ready and then he was off for the day. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all! It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!” Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other.” said Farmer Bob. Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.” ( ) 60. What is the best title for the passage? A. What a Big Fence!

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have porridge, eggs or toast. When others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean(刻薄的) mother as I did. My mother preferred to know where we were all the time. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed “sick” in order to miss school. The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, my mother was brave to break the Child Labour Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook and all sorts of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do. My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Two of her children received higher education. None of us have ever been arrested(taken away by the police) or divorced. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children call me “mean”. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world. 69. The best title for this passage may be . A.My childhood B.The meanest mother C.I do as my mother did D.Unforgettable memories 2011年北京中考 D My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8. Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great. Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏)the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的). Everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents." Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs. However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future." Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun" 60. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language? C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning? D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages 2、What does the passage tell us? What's the main idea of this passage?

The Spider Story is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cavefrom the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(织网). The spidertried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times andsix times he failed. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat(打败) the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb(灯泡) made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery whenhe failed so often. He replied, “Failure? I have no failure. Now I know50,000 ways that won’t work.” So first, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change sothat things will go right next time? Second is the goal you are to reach the right one. Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me? This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing away.” The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it is part of life, learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed.Remember, “You can’t win them all.” ( ) 60. What can you learn from the above passage? A. Where there is a will, there is a way.B. Live with yourself. C. The Spider Story is true. D. You can’t win them all. (D) People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes (吃起来) good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time. Another reason(原因) people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies (小甜饼) is not just satisfying (满足 ) a child's sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, " I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you." There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved—even if we are the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to(关注) your mood(心情). 74. What's the main(主要)idea of this passage? A. Family meals are important. B. How to make cookies. C. People are too busy to cook. D. Homemade cookies taste better. 词汇题 →认识: 直接解题,沾边就对。 →不认识: 推断: 从词的本身:词根词缀 上下文:因果\对比\解释 代入验证 2011年河南中考B篇 If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person.

Other common topics are the room or building they are in, the street where they are standing, or their past experiences, such as watching a particular(特别的) TV program, going to New York, or eating at a particular restaurant.There are some topics Americans usually avoid(避免) because they are too personal. For example, you’d better not ask such a question. “How much money do you have each month? ” But what is a personal matter in one country may not be so in another. For example, Americans may ask, “Where do you work? How many children do you have? How large is your house? Have you had a holiday yet?” Such question are not thought by Americans to be too personal. They often ask such questions to learn what you’re both interested in or to begin a conversation. Please understand that such questions are meant to be friendly; the questioner is interested in you; he doesn’t mean to be impolite.

Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section(区域) for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite me had his bag on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was made rather angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table! I took some newspapers out of my bag and put them on his. When I did this he sat up straight at once, opening his eyes wide. I had invaded(侵占) his space! A few minutes later I took my newspapers off his bag in order to read them. He at once moved his bag to his side of the table. 52. The word "private" in the first paragraph means”________” in Chinese. A.私人的 B.公共的 c.相邻的 D.隐蔽的 Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide(CO2) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow. The way plants turn water and CO2 into glucose is called photosynthesis. That means "putting together with light.” A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is green. It gives plants their green color.As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter. During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food—making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll. Red and purple colours we see in leaves are made mostly in the autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树),glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red. The brown color of trees like oaks(橡树) is made from wastes left in the leaves. 61. The word "chlorophyll" in the first paragraph means________in Chinese. A.叶绿素 B.氧气 C.胡萝卜素 D.蛋白质 2011河北省中考C篇 Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson and help you to find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they affect(影响) your life in some serious way. Sometimes things happen to you. At the time you may seem terrible, painful(痛苦的) and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over that difficulties you would have never realized further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck. The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failure you experience, create who you are. Even bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are the most poignant and important one. Enjoy every day, even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself. You can make you life anything you wish. Create your own life and go out and live it. 68. The underlined word “poignant” in the passage means “_____”.

But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again. What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (努力) as they multitask. Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table. Multitasking also has an effect (影响) on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary (没必要) for them to learn special skills to do their work. 71. What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean? A. Want to buy. B. Use at the same time. C. Take the place of. D. Search information from. 2011年湖北省黄冈市中考 (2) The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake. In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety. Some hide(隐藏) under the machines and survive , but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings. These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education 《Making a Split Second Decision》 shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake. By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts(专家)find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake. In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building. Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds.” 70. The word “survive” appears in the passage several times. It probably means in Chinese.
