31、hat DAn Unforgettable Holiday Ride KEY: 1B 2A 3D 4B 5C 1忌不帶問(wèn)題。做閱讀理解題時(shí)，應(yīng)先把文章后面所給的考查題瀏覽一遍，然后帶著這些問(wèn)題進(jìn)行閱讀。邊閱讀邊選出考查表層情況問(wèn)題的答案，從而提高閱讀效果。 2忌草率行事。在設(shè)計(jì)理解題時(shí)，設(shè)計(jì)者往往在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中設(shè)計(jì)出一個(gè)似是而非的答案。這樣答案干擾性特別強(qiáng)，容易迷惑考生。如果在發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)看似正確答案時(shí)就草率定案，往往會(huì)掉進(jìn)設(shè)計(jì)者設(shè)置的“陷阱”里。處理的方法是：對(duì)所給四個(gè)備選答案進(jìn)行分析比較，在理解理解閱讀材料內(nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行去偽存真，方可選出正確答案。 3忌主觀印象。少數(shù)閱讀不明確題只需根據(jù)生活常

32、識(shí)就可選出答案，而絕大多數(shù)則不然，考生必須按照原文來(lái)選定答案。因此，考生在做后一種測(cè)試題時(shí)，一定要排除自身的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)、經(jīng)歷和已有的知識(shí)等主觀因素的干擾，按照文章實(shí)際反映的情況來(lái)選擇答案。 4忌囫圇定案。所謂囫圇定案是指考生在未完全讀懂文章時(shí)就匆忙定案，結(jié)果往往選錯(cuò)答案。因此，尚未讀懂的地方如果時(shí)間允許的話，一定要慢速多讀幾遍，直到讀懂時(shí)再定答案。 5忌忽略時(shí)間。做閱讀理解題時(shí)，一定要從整體上控制時(shí)間，時(shí)間分配根據(jù)文章的難易程度有別。文中一兩處沒(méi)弄懂的地方可以暫且放置一邊，等把全部題做完后，再回頭來(lái)處理。因?yàn)樽鐾觐}后，你的心情相對(duì)放松了往往會(huì)產(chǎn)生新的思路、新的靈感。即使做完題后時(shí)間所剩無(wú)幾了，你

33、再把未處理的題猜測(cè)一下也不晚，因?yàn)槟闳匀挥羞x對(duì)的可能性?？偠灾?，閱讀理解靠的是扎實(shí)的語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)。 俗話說(shuō)：冰凍三尺，非一日之寒。扎實(shí)的語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)來(lái)自平時(shí)嚴(yán)格的基本功訓(xùn)練和長(zhǎng)期的知識(shí)積累。只要平時(shí)刻苦用功，打下扎實(shí)的英語(yǔ)知識(shí)基礎(chǔ)，又掌握了較科學(xué)的解題方法做“閱讀理解”題是不會(huì)太難的。 我們學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)不只是和別人交流，更重要的是，要通過(guò)閱讀報(bào)刊書(shū)籍，研讀名著，了解風(fēng)土人情，生活習(xí)慣，科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展與進(jìn)步等等。讀文章必須理解，怎樣才能驗(yàn)證初學(xué)者是否掌握了所閱讀的文章呢？一般有回答根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容所提的問(wèn)題，有給出題干，留一個(gè)空，再給幾個(gè)答案，讓答題的人根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容來(lái)確定正確的答案；也有在題干上留一個(gè)空，由答

34、題人直接填寫(xiě)所缺的單詞（有些難度比較大的題，則將要填寫(xiě)的詞的首字母給出）。無(wú)論是哪一種題型，要想解這一類(lèi)題，必須建立在理解文章內(nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)上，否則就是一句空話。中考英語(yǔ)“閱讀理解”題主要是考查考生綜合運(yùn)用所學(xué)語(yǔ)言知識(shí)的能力，包括閱讀能力、理解能力、歸納概括能力、邏輯推理能力以及對(duì)材料的評(píng)估能力等。試題中所選的閱讀文章題材多樣化，涉及政治經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會(huì)文化、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣、歷史地理、科學(xué)技術(shù)等各個(gè)方面。體裁多樣化，包括記敘文、說(shuō)明文、議論文、應(yīng)用文以及新聞報(bào)道、廣告、通知、操作說(shuō)明、表格等各種文體。它要求考生閱讀理解準(zhǔn)確率高、閱讀速度快。大致來(lái)說(shuō)，主要針對(duì)如下方面： 1文章的個(gè)別詞或句子；2文章的某細(xì)節(jié)或情

35、節(jié)；3文章的主題；4文章的背景知識(shí)；5文章的結(jié)論或結(jié)局；6文章內(nèi)涵的隱義或寓意等。主要是考查考生綜合運(yùn)用所學(xué)語(yǔ)言知識(shí)的能力，包括閱讀能力、理解能力、歸納概括能力、邏輯推理能力以及對(duì)材料的評(píng)估能力等。 具體來(lái)講主要有以下幾種題型： （一）、直接理解性題目 這種題目比較簡(jiǎn)單，只要通讀全文，了解文中所敘述的重要事實(shí)或細(xì)節(jié)，就可以解答出來(lái)，有的甚至可以從文章的原句中直接找到答案。 （二）、語(yǔ)義理解性題目 題目要求對(duì)文中個(gè)別難詞、關(guān)鍵詞、詞組或句子作出解釋。解答這類(lèi)題目時(shí)需要對(duì)有關(guān)的上下文，甚至整篇文章的內(nèi)容建立準(zhǔn)確、立體的理解才能做出正確答案。 （三）、邏輯推理性題目 這種題目有一定難度，往往不能直接

36、從文中找到答案，而必須根據(jù)上下文及其相互間的關(guān)系或?qū)φ恼逻M(jìn)行深層理解后，才能找到答案。有時(shí)甚至還得聯(lián)系作者的意圖、態(tài)度等弦外之音、文外之意加以推理，才能獲得正確答案。 （四）、歸納概括性題目 要求在閱讀和理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上對(duì)文章作出歸納、概括或評(píng)價(jià)。解這種題目時(shí)，不能只憑文中的只言片語(yǔ)而斷章取義，比如涉及文章的標(biāo)題（title）、主題（main idea）、結(jié)論（conclusion）、結(jié)局（end）等有關(guān)問(wèn)題，都需要在細(xì)讀全文的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合所學(xué)語(yǔ)言知識(shí)、背景知識(shí)、生活常識(shí)、科學(xué)專(zhuān)業(yè)知識(shí)進(jìn)行邏輯思維、推理、判斷，從而獲取文章中內(nèi)隱的信息。1考查學(xué)生在閱讀中準(zhǔn)確捕獲信息的能力。這就要求通過(guò)閱讀

37、短文，運(yùn)用自己所學(xué)的語(yǔ)法、詞組、短語(yǔ)等方面的語(yǔ)言知識(shí)，根據(jù)自己的理解，掌握所讀材料的主旨和大意，以及用以說(shuō)明主旨和大意的事實(shí)和情節(jié)，能回答短文后面所給的問(wèn)題。 2要求學(xué)生既理解具體的事實(shí)，也理解抽象的概念；既理解文章的表層意思，也理解文章的深層含義，包括作者的態(tài)度、意圖等“弦外之音”。 3要求學(xué)生既理解某句、某段的意義，也理解全篇的邏輯關(guān)系，并據(jù)此進(jìn)行推理和判斷。 4要求學(xué)生既能根據(jù)材料提供的信息去理解，也能結(jié)合自己應(yīng)有的常識(shí)去理解。在中考前的一個(gè)月中，除了根據(jù)學(xué)校老師的安排進(jìn)行總復(fù)習(xí)外，同學(xué)們自己復(fù)習(xí)英語(yǔ)時(shí)如何才能少走彎路呢？筆者提出三條建議。逐個(gè)消滅弱項(xiàng)每位考生要靜下心來(lái)，對(duì)自己作一個(gè)客觀

38、的評(píng)估，找出自己的弱項(xiàng)，缺什么補(bǔ)什么。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，到現(xiàn)在為止，自己的弱項(xiàng)不會(huì)太多。即使有較多的弱項(xiàng)，也要找最弱的先補(bǔ)習(xí)。可以先注意詞匯的復(fù)習(xí)。詞匯掌握好壞與聽(tīng)力、語(yǔ)法、閱讀、選擇及寫(xiě)作均有直接的關(guān)系，建議考生先把要求掌握的單詞詞組認(rèn)真篩選幾遍，鞏固拼寫(xiě)與詞義，然后復(fù)習(xí)一下單詞的種種變化和用法。以單詞c are為例，它可以做名詞，也可以做動(dòng)詞，其形容詞形式有c areful與c areless，再可以變?yōu)楦痹~形式carefully和carelessly，而careless又有其名詞形式c arelessness等，這些不同的形式在句子中又有著不同的用法。如：1、You should take ca

39、re of your -self.（名詞）2、I dont care for smoking.（動(dòng)詞）3、Be carefu l when you cross the street.（形容詞）4、Som e careless person has broken the glass.（形容詞）5、Walk carefully，or you may fall.（副詞）在英語(yǔ)的十大詞類(lèi)中，動(dòng)詞無(wú)疑是最為活躍的詞類(lèi)之一。動(dòng)詞是構(gòu)成句子的重要組成部分，它有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞和非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的區(qū)別，有及物動(dòng)詞和不及物動(dòng)詞的區(qū)別，有瞬間動(dòng)詞和延續(xù)動(dòng)詞的區(qū)別，有主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)和被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的區(qū)別和時(shí)態(tài)的區(qū)別。動(dòng)詞又可以與其他的詞搭配

40、構(gòu)成豐富多彩的詞組。以m ake為例：m ake friends with sb.（與交朋友），m ake a film（拍電影），make mistakes（犯錯(cuò)），m ake a noise（吵鬧），make a fire（生火），make money（掙錢(qián)），make progress（取得進(jìn)步），make use of（利用）以及由make構(gòu)成被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的多種用法，如：be made of，be made from，be made by，be made for ，be made in，be made upof等，希望考生要弄清以上這些問(wèn)題。每天朗讀課文每天要聽(tīng)510分鐘的英語(yǔ)錄音來(lái)維持和

41、提高聽(tīng)力水平。要堅(jiān)持每天朗讀一兩篇課文，要通過(guò)聽(tīng)與讀來(lái)鞏固語(yǔ)感，保持對(duì)英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力的敏感性。參加中考的學(xué)生大多會(huì)感到最難的莫過(guò)于完形填空，因?yàn)橥晷翁羁詹粌H從閱讀的語(yǔ)言知識(shí)上對(duì)考生的應(yīng)用能力進(jìn)行考察，而且還需要考生有較好的語(yǔ)感和較廣的知識(shí)面。做完形填空切忌急于求成。考生要先通覽全文，大致了解文章的體裁、內(nèi)容、情節(jié)的發(fā)展或前因后果。面對(duì)空格中要填寫(xiě)的單詞可以先做試探性的猜測(cè)，然后逐句細(xì)讀，根據(jù)上下文意思選取語(yǔ)法正確，意思貼切的單詞填入。如果給了首個(gè)字母，范圍就更縮小了。對(duì)于把握不大的空格，可以先擱置一下往下讀，說(shuō)不定答案就在下文中呢！完形填空的成功建立在足夠的詞匯量，熟練的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)能力，正確的語(yǔ)法知識(shí)

42、和較廣的知識(shí)面的基礎(chǔ)上的。如：The them e of the 2010Shanghai World Expo is“Betty City，Better 1”.This them e is2of new ideas .The World Expo is known 3the Econom ic Olym pics.when held in Shanghai in2010，it will give much to the development of Shanghai .At 450million visitors 5around the world will com e to the six

43、month exhibi-tion in2010，we Chinese people should do our 6in preparation for Expo2010.在這篇完形填空文章中，第一空考查每一位考生對(duì)2010上海世博的主題是否了解，應(yīng)填l ife。第二空是一個(gè)詞組be full of，第三空考查be known as的用法。第四空at least有“至少”的意思，第五空應(yīng)填f rom，而最后一空則又是一個(gè)詞組do ones best。考前練習(xí)小短文要堅(jiān)持寫(xiě)一些5080字的小短文，要多用自己熟悉的單詞、詞組和句型，題材要廣泛，如寫(xiě)一件事、一個(gè)人、一個(gè)物品、一封信、一則通知、一則廣

44、告或根據(jù)圖畫(huà)寫(xiě)話等，要注意拼寫(xiě)正確，無(wú)語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，表達(dá)要達(dá)意，可把自己寫(xiě)的短文讓老師批改一下，找出自己還存在的問(wèn)題，進(jìn)行分析，及時(shí)補(bǔ)缺。最后，“看試卷”也是一種有效的復(fù)習(xí)方法，請(qǐng)考生把近期做過(guò)的大小試卷和練習(xí)題分門(mén)別類(lèi)整理一下，定下心來(lái)認(rèn)真仔細(xì)過(guò)一遍，把以前存在的問(wèn)題弄清，有針對(duì)性地進(jìn)行強(qiáng)化復(fù)習(xí)。相信通過(guò)以上這些辦法進(jìn)行最后復(fù)習(xí)，考生在中考中一定能考出優(yōu)秀的成績(jī)。生活中的兩極發(fā)布時(shí)間：2009-01-14，作者：putclub來(lái)源： 點(diǎn)擊: 75290生活中的兩極推薦資源 獨(dú)家推薦4天記憶1000單詞 免費(fèi)領(lǐng)瘋狂英語(yǔ)全套學(xué)習(xí)資料 全新英語(yǔ)訓(xùn)練解決成長(zhǎng)的煩惱 聽(tīng)總統(tǒng)電臺(tái)演講學(xué)領(lǐng)先風(fēng)范 讓您的英語(yǔ)與

Even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute, its easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you

46、 absolutely must, but bhen again I often have to push myself to accomplish things. People I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods. They say theyre “under the weather,” not feeling good about this time of year. As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday, it was so cold that my nose and fa

47、ce felt crisp and my cars were stinging. Of course, that doesnt matter to Ricky and Lucy. They have a routine they must go through to find just the fight spot no matter how cold or hot it is. So I wait. But this time it was different. As cold as it was, I suddenly was invigorated thinking about how

48、wonderful this extreme cold really was. Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summers scorching hot days flashed through my mind. I could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon, sweat pouring down my brow and the hot, burning sun againse my face. I reminded myself then and th

49、ere that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat. I was right. Two extremes in my life that most of the time I find uncomfortable, I normally dread them and gripe about it all the way through. But today I was grateful for them. Without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate

50、 the days when things were just right. Without the extremes life would be boring. Its being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more. Health challenges reminds us that we need to pay more attention to how we live. Financial extremes reminds us that when things are in ex

51、cess its time to tuck away for when the times are lean. So bring on the cold so I appreciate the heat more. Make me sweat on a hot summers day so I wish I had a handful of snow to rub my face in. Ive come to the conclusion that all too often I find a reason not to be happy with where I am at that mo

52、ment. Whether its hot or cold, good health or bad, in the money or out of it, I always wanted it to be different. But no more. I want to start finding a reason to be happy right where I am.
