2022年中考英语冲题型专项训练：阅读理解-1
〖小试牛刀】

James Cook, at the age of forty, was sent by England to explore(探索)the Pacific Ocean. On his third voyage, as captain in charge of two ships, the Discovery and the Revolution, he came upon a group of unknown islands which he named the Sandwich Islands after his friend, the Earl(伯爵)of Sandwich. Today the islands are known at the Hawaiian Islands.
When Cook sailed into a protected bay(海湾)of one of the larger islands, the native greeted him with curiosity and respect. Some historians said that the islanders, welcomed him, believing he was the god, protector of peace and agriculture.
The islanders were short, strong people with a very well-organized social system. The men fished and raised crops. The women prepared for the children and made clothing for the men and short skirts for the women.
( )28. The islands were named _______.
A. the Hawaiian Islands by James Cook B. the Earl of Sandwich by James Cook
C. Discovery by James Cook D. the Sandwich Islands by James Cook
( )29. When he landed there, James Cook found the islanders were _______.
A. cold B. friendly C. angry D. satisfied
( )30. Which of the following is true?
A. The natives were tall and healthy.
B. The men mainly worked outside.
C. The women did nothing but look after children.
D. The natives were very curious about everything.
解析：第1题细节理解题。由原文“unknown islands which he named the Sandwich Islands after his friend, the Earl(伯爵)of Sandwich.”意为：以他的朋友Sandwich伯爵名字命名叫作Sandwich Islands 的不知名岛屿。因此选D.
第2题细节理解题。由原文“Some historians said that the islanders, welcomed him, believing he was the god, protector of peace and agriculture.”岛上的人们见到James后欢迎他们，相信他们是上帝等可知，岛上的人们是很友好的。
第3题细节理解题。选项A，原文中“The islanders were short, strong people ”，因此不对。选项C,原文中“The women prepared for the children and made clothing for the men and short skirts for the women. ”因此不对。选项D，意为当地人对所有事物都好奇，文章并没有提到。B选项，男人大多在外干活，符合文意。

〖考点分类】

细节理解题
知识点1：细节理解题的基本要求和特点
初中英语阅读理解最基本的要求是“能从一般性文章中获取和处理主要信息”。对这种“获取和处理主要信息”能力的考查，主要采用的方式就是细节判断。这类题在阅读理解题中占据半壁江山，做好这类题是确保基础分的关键。同时，弄清细节，正确获取信息，也是把握文章主旨的前提。因此，要特别重视做好这类题。
细节题就是指那些针对文章细节描写或与文章情节发展相关的事实所设置的问题。这类题主要测试考生获取信息及对文章所提供信息的理解能力。

知识点2：设题方式
1) 此类题型多数以特殊疑问词设问，设问的检测点针对某一具体行为、地点、时间、原因、方式、数量等。细节题是用来进一步表达主题，体现中心思想的，往往针对短文某个细节来设题。做此类题时，应快速捕捉信息，可能是一些事例、数字等，阅读时要有针对性。 此类考查事实和细节的题目大多数是针对文章的细节设计的。
2) 常见的命题方式

3)对细节题的不同类型加以解读
①直接信息题
对此类题型，考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词，然后以此为线索，运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节，找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍，仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别，在准确理解细节的前提下，最后确定最佳答案。
【考例】
Home alone (Act one)
Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains(窗帘) are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter.
Dad: It’s so nice to be home!
Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys!
Suddenly the door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly.
Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early!(looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but … you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow!
The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.
Mom: (touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry!(looking at table) The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is dying of hunger! What did you do with the money we left?
Dad: And look at this room---rubbish all over the place! Where is your brother?(shouting angrily) Daniel!
Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain…
Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess. Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel.
Dad: (sounding very angry) Listen to me, young man---we left you in charge! We thought you could act like an adult, but look at the mess!
Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person who would make good decisions…
Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t stand such behavior in our house!
Daniel: (shouting) Stop shouting at me. I’m still a teenager! Why is everything always my mistake?
Daniel runs into his bedroom and closes the door angrily. Mom and Dad look at each other.)
25. How does Eric feel when he sees his parents come back home?
A. Tired. B. Hungry. C. Frightened. D. Surprised.
解析：D；考察细节理解题，根据本文 You’re back early!(looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but … you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow!可知eric看到父母回来有些惊讶。
26. Who is Spot?
A. Eric’s classmate. B. Eric’s brother. C. Eric’s dog. D. Eric’s cat.
解析：C；考察细节理解题，根据The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is dying of hunger! 可知Spot是一条狗。

②间接信息题
做这类题目时，考生需要对原文信息进行加工处理，然后再进行进一步的推理或鉴别，这是介于事实细节题和推理判断题之间的一种题型，对考生来说有一定难度。
27. From the passage we can infer that _________.
A. the money on the table is for Eric and Daniel
B. Daniel fails to explain everything to his parents
C. Daniel is younger than Eric
D. the living room was dirty before Mom and Dad went on a holiday.
解析：B;根据 Mom, Dad, I can explain…爸爸妈妈我能解释...和后面父母的责怪可知Daniel没有成功地向父母解释原因。

③数字计算题
数字计算题也是近几年中考常考的内容，此类试题是在文章中直接表现出来细节事实，有的要经过具体的计算才能够得出正确的答案。具体的计算题可以是对年代的计算、月份的计算或比例、票价的计算等。文章中经常会出现许多数字，它们对解题产生一定的影响。解答此类试题的方法是先来理解文章的大意，然后经过对比、分析、计算等就能够得出正确的答案。

解析：这是一道数字计算题，先从原文中找到相关信息再仔细思考计算一下，就能找到答案。根据广告一：清洁工每天三小时，每周六天，故计算出每周18小时。故答案应该选择C。
答案：C

④排列顺序题
这种试题要求考生根据事件发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。做这种题时可采用“首尾定位法”，即最先找出第一个事件和最后一个事件，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。
【考例】
I was raised on a farm in the Fraser Valley along with five sisters and one brother. When I was 15, I got addicted to drinking at weekends and then dropped out of school. By the time I was 17, I continued to drink heavily. I couldn't find a job to support myself. So, I had no other choice but to join the army. I retired and went back home three years later, still a heavy drinker. When I was 22, I met Sue whose father was also a heavy drinker, so my behavior didn't surprise her. We were soon married and later had two daughters.
I started my first business when I was in my mid-twenties. A few years later, I bought a large chicken farm. Even with this success, though, my drinking was always a problem. It affected my marriage and family so much that I knew I had to make up my mind to stop drinking. So I tried great efforts. But two years later, I began drinking again.
When I was in my mid-thirties, I sold both of my businesses, and bought the big house on the hill. I was not at all happy, although I had everything that was supposed to make me happy. I sold our big house on the hill and bought a large land, where I built a new house. Our marriage was in big trouble, and my finances would go down the drain. For the first time in many years, I had to go to work for someone as an employee. I took a job as a heavy equipment operator in a road building camp.
My marriage still came apart when I was 38, and my kids had to go through our divorce. I spent 6 months in giving up drinking on a school camp. Nearly a year later, I met my childhood neighbor girl, June. We were married not long afterwards. My kids learned to trust me and I have two stepchildren that also love me.
Happy life continued about ten years. Everything was going so well when I felt there was something wrong with my body. I went to see a doctor, and the medical examination came out that I had ALS(肌肉萎缩症). Record shows that people with ALS generally survive between two to five years after symptoms appear. I've probably had the symptoms for one-and-a-half years already, so I don't know how much time I have left. God knows…
34.Which of the following is the right order for the author’s experience?
a. He married June. b. He married Sue.
c. He bought the big house on the hill. d. He bought a large chicken farm.
e. He succeeded in giving up drinking. f. He tried but failed to get rid of drinking.
A.a, d, c, b, f, e B.b, d, f, c, e, a C.b, c, d, a, f, e D.f, b, d, c, e, a
解析：该题是排序细节题，根据事件发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。做这种题时可采用“首尾定位法”，即最先找出第一个事件和最后一个事件，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。纵观全文作者最后与儿时邻居女孩June，排除AC,BD关键在f和b哪个先发生，显然是先结婚后戒烟失败；选项结婚答案：B

⑤图表图画题
在有图表图画的阅读理解中，有的图表图画出现在阅读理解文章中，有的出现在选项中，这些图片的出现增加了试题的直观性，同时也暗含着和文章内容相关的信息。在解答此类试题的时候，一定要把握图表图画中所暗含的信息，特别是有些事实是通过图片来叙述的，我们可以采用按图寻找正确答案的方法。

词义猜测题
知识点1：词义猜测的基本要求和特点
所谓词义猜测是指在阅读过程中根据对语篇的信息、逻辑、背景知识及语言结构等的综合理解去猜测或推断某一生词、难词、关键词甚至短语或句子的意义。词义猜测题在中考中一般考一至两道，要求学生在掌握一定的词汇量的基础上，能独立阅读部分生词，理解生词的含义。考察学生通过上下文提供的线索或生词本身的结构特点对词义作出正确判断的能力。
知识点2：常见的命题方式
1． What does the word “_____”in ．．．．． mean?
2． It can be inferred(推断，推论)/concluded(推断) (from the passage) that the word“_____”means _____．
3．The word ．．．implies (意味，暗示)that _____．
4． Which of the following is the closest meaning of the word?
5． what do you think of the expression _______ stands for?
6． The word “_____ ” in the passage probably means ________．
7． In this story the underlined word “ ” means _______．

知识点3：词义猜测题之解题技巧
1． 通过定义或释义关系来猜测词义
这种同义或释义关系常由is，that is，in other words，be called或标点符号(破折号、冒号、括号)等来表示。例如：But sometimes, no rain falls for a long, long time． Then there is a dry period, or drought． 从drought所在句子的上文我们得知很久不下雨，于是便有一段干旱的时期，即drought，由此可见drought意思为"久旱"，"旱灾"。而a dry period和drought是同义语。

例：
In the past, when people had problems, they usually went to their families or friends to get advice． Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programmes and telephone hot lines． A hot line is a telephone line． It offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers． Most hot lines are completely anonymous． That is to say, callers do not have to say their names or telephone numbers． Most hot lines are free． Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls． At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers． Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work． Usually the advisers are full-time-job people with years of education and experience, but sometimes, the advisers have only taken a short class before starting to work on the hot line． All the advisers listen to people and help them solve their problems．

What does the underlined word anonymous mean in Chinese in the passage?
A．匿名的 B． 虔诚的 C． 开放的 D． 免费的

解析：“That is to say, callers do not have to say their names or telephone numbers．”是对“anonymous”的解释，意为“打电话者不需要说出他们的名字和电话号码。”就是说是“匿名的”。
答案：A

2． 通过同义词和反义词的关系猜词
通过同义词猜词，一是要看由and或or连接的同义词词组；二是看在进一步解释的过程中使用的同义词，如Man has known something about the planets Venus，Mars，and Jupiter with the help of spaceships．此句中的Venus(金星)、Mars(火星)、Jupiter(木星)均为生词，但只要知道planets就可猜出这几个词都属于"行星"这一义域。通过反义词猜词，一是看表转折关系的连词或副词，如but，while，however等；二是看与not搭配的或表示否定意义的词语，如：He is so homely，not at all as handsome as his brother．根据not at all．．．handsome我们不难推测出homely的意思，即不英俊、不漂亮的意思。

例：
Although most of Pakistanis live in the countryside, still many Pakistanis live in cities． Karachi has over 5 million people and Lahore has over 3 million people． Islamabad was built to be Pakistan’s capital． The rich city people live in large, air conditioned houses．
Pakistan has 121,000 miles of roads． Bus services and minibuses are available to the public． The trains are still the most common transport of long-distance travel for Pakistanis． Pakistan also has an airline that operates domestic and international flights．
It is difficult to identify (识别) Pakistani food because the country shares food traditions with its neighbour, India． The main difference between Pakistani and Indian food is that Pakistani food is less spicy (辛辣)． Pakistani dishes are often made with yoghurt(酸奶), which reduces the effect of the hot spices used in cooking．
Wheat is the main food for most of the people． It is eaten in the form of bread named chapattis or roti, together with vegetables in season． Sweet tea, milk, or lassi, a drink made from yoghurt, makes the meal perfect． Those who can afford to buy it eat meat, although in the countryside these are usually festival foods． Goat meat is a favourite． Pakistanis will not eat pork by the way．

The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “domestic” in Paragraph 2 may be “__________”．
A． 家庭的 B． 国际的 C． 驯养的 D． 国内的
解析：注意该词所在的句子，关键词为“international”“国外的”，因而可判断出“domestic”意为“国内的”。
答案：D

3．通过因果关系猜词
通过因果关系猜词，首先是找出生词与上下文之间的逻辑关系，然后才能猜词。有时文章借助关联词(如because，as，since，for，so，thus，as a result，of course，therefore等等)表示前因后果。例如：You shouldn't have blamed him for that，for it wasn't his fault．通过for引出的句子所表示的原因(那不是他的错)，可猜出blame的词义是"责备"。

例：
Men’s hard work in the home is ignored (忽略) by women． Study finds that men do more housework than they are thought to． Research says women do not notice this because their male partners “don’t make a fuss”．
Men said they spent much time a week on housework, including cleaning the toilet, taking out the rubbish and changing the bed sheets．
But 60 percent of the 1,000 men who were questioned said their efforts were unnoticed by the women in their lives because they did not like to make a fuss． Almost half said they felt women like to show off about the amount of housework they take on．
About 85 percent of men said the task they did most often at home was taking out the rubbish． Carrying the shopping bags was the second most popular chore (家务杂事) among men, with 80 percent saying they take the weight off their wives’ shoulders． Food shopping came in the third place, with 78 percent saying they are responsible for restocking the fridge each week．
The research by Dove, the beauty brand, found men spent 4．7 hours a week on housework
as well as 1．5 hours on DIY and 6．9 hours on childcare．
Paul Connell, brand manager of Dove Men Care, said, “Our research shows that modern men are becoming braver to say out the contribution they make at home, and the popular words of men doing nothing around the house is no longer correct．”

What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “make a fuss”?
A． 说大话 B． 会表功 C． 害羞 D． 难为情

解析：文章前面说“男人做的家务比认为的多，但是女人却不注意这个，因为男人不会…”，结合四个选项支，可轻松判断出答案为“会表功”。注意关键词because。
答案：B

4． 通过构词法来猜测词义
在阅读文章时，我们总会遇上一些新词汇，有时很难根据上下文来推断其词意，而它们对文章的理解又有着举足轻重的作用，此时，如掌握了一些常用的词根、前缀、后缀和一些合成词等语法知识，这些问题便不难解决了。掌握前后缀规律， 如un-, im-, in-, dis-, il-等前缀与-less等后缀可构成反义词；后缀-ful, -ly, -ism, -ness等可改变词性。而合成词要在正确理解两词的基础上，结合上下文把握两词之间的关系，猜测词义；而对词义的转化，也要结合上下文来猜测。
例：
A well-known poem by Tang dynasty poet Du Mu tells of a scene in early April: “Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes, and passersby with lowered spirits go．”
This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival． Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival． Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival． It began in the Zhou dynasty, over 2, 500 years ago． Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors(祖先)． This year, it falls on April 4． Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008． People have one day off for that day．
On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites(墓地) of their ancestors． They place cakes, fruits in front of the grave and some may bum joss paper． as money for the dead． After that, they sweep the tombs and cherish(怀念) the memories of their dead family members．
Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them． This tradition shows that family values are an important part of Chinese culture．
Tomb Sweeping Day is also the beginning of the time for gardening and outdoor activities in China． Families often get together for outings or to fly kites at this time．

The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “passersby” is ______．
A． 行人 B． 陌生人 C． 故人 D． 古代人
解析：passersby可拆开由passer和by构成，动词“pass”和“by” 都意为“经过”，因而可翻译为“路人”因而答案选A
答案：A

5． 通过熟词生义来推测词义
例如：Bananas, oranges, pineapples, coconuts and some other kind of fruit grow in warm areas．假如pineapples和coconuts是生词，我们可以从这两个词在句中所处的位置来判断它们大致的意思。从句中不难看出pineapples，coconuts和bananas，oranges是同类关系，同属fruit类，因此它们是两样水果，准确地说，是菠萝和椰子。

例：
As you are soon on your way to Eastern Europe, here are a few tips on what you should pack． In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes． People dress casually(随便地) in Eastern Europe, so you don’t need to bring along your smartest clothing．
Batteries: If your camera, flash, or other appliances run on batteries, bring enough supply along． Certain types of batteries don’t exist in Eastern Europe, and those that do often don’t last very long．
Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U．S． bills ($1and $5) to use in hard–currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard–currency stores never seem to have the right change．
Electric Current Adapter(转换器): If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A．C．, not the standard 110 volts of North America． A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug．
Language Tools: One of Europe’s biggest challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own． To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go — you won’t find them once you are in Eastern Europe．
Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around ( as you always do in Eastern Europe)． The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave． (P． O． box 651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 619/755 – 9399, or toll free 800/874 – 9925) outside California．
Traveler’s Checks: These are necessary． Bring your traveler’s checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money． To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks．

What do the underlined words “change” and “check” probably mean according to the given dictionary entries(词条)?
change
1． [V] to become different 改变；变化
2． [V] to exchange money into the money of another country 兑换
3． [U] the money that you get back when you have paid for sth giving more money than
the amount it costs 找给的零钱；找头
check
1． [V] to examine sth to see if it is correct, safe or acceptable 检查；审查
2． [C] an act of making sure that sth is safe, correct or in good condition by examining it 检查；查看
3． [C] a printed form that you can write on and sign as a way of paying for sth instead of using money 支票
A． 1; 3 B． 3; 3 C． 2; 3 D． 2; 2
解析：由Cash和Traveler’s Checks得知这两段都在谈论钱，因此这两段中的change和check必然和钱有关。
答案：B


6．通过语境猜词
描述即作者为帮助读者更深更感性地了解某人或某物而对该人或该物作出的外在相貌或内在特征的描写。例如: The penguin is a kind of sea bird living in the South Pole． It is fat and walks in a funny way． Although it cannot fly, it can swim in the icy water to catch the fish．从例句的描述中可以得知penguin是一种生活在南极的鸟类。后面更详尽地描述了该鸟类的生活习性。

例：
Classes resumed (恢复) Thursday for the students of a school in Newtown, Conn, where a gunman last month killed 20 children and 6 adults in the second-largest school shooting in U．S． history．
With their school still being treated as a crime scene, more than 400 students of Sandy Hook Primary School attended classes in neighbouring Monroe．
Returning students, teachers and administrators were met by a large police presence outside their new school． Several officers guarded the entrance and checked IDs of parents dropping off children．
Law-enforcement officers guarding the new school called it “the safest school in America．”
Students found the same chairs and desks, when possible． Their classroom walls were painted the same colours and hung with the same pictures． Other details, such as the location of bookshelves and cubby holes, were replicated (复制) as much as possible．
The school district said parents who wanted to be close to their children were welcome to visit and stay in classrooms or an auditorium．
Newtown superintendent Janet Robinson said officials would do their best to make the students feel at ease．
“We will be doing a normal day．” She said．

“… to make the students feel at ease．” The phrase “feel at ease” most likely means_________．
A． feel at home B． feel fresh and curious
C． feel happy and lucky D． feel safe and relaxed
解析：文章开头将枪击案的发生，气氛比较紧张。文章在第3段提到校园枪击案后大量的警察驻守在校门口，还有政府官员检查接送学生家长的身份证，这一切都是为了确保学生在枪击案后能正常就学，不至于被紧张气氛笼罩。
答案：D

Walking along a dusty road while I was on holiday there last year．I found myself, without the least warning, the centre of such an attack．The air above me suddenly became thick with bees．Though it was hot, I went cold all over．Until then I had never heard of Indian tree-bees, but I had recently seen a film called “The Angry Swarm”, which was about killer-bees．
I began running to the village about half a mile away, but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees．I drove them away with my hands, only to make room for others．Each time I opened my mouth for breath, more bees entered my mouth, until it was stung to twice its usual size and I could hardly breathe．
When I reached the village, I found some workers building a house．I ran towards them for help．But as soon as the workers saw the bees with me, they ran for safety at top speed．
Soon my eyes had completely closed．I fell into a pile of brick dust．I pushed myself wildly down into it until my head and shoulders were covered．And then I tried hard to get out of the dust, the angry bees made a new attack on me．I was tired out and ran weakly about in circles．Soon I lost my consciousness (意识)．
Later I learned that two quick-minded villagers ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded (包围) me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away．They stayed with me, taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor came and gave me further treatment．
32． In which order did the following things happen to the writer?
a． He tried to drive away the bees but failed．
b． He was surrounded with a thick wall of fire and smoke．
c． He was tired out and lost consciousness later．
d． He watched a film named “The Angry Swarm”．
e． He was attacked by tree-bees while taking a walk．
A． e-a-c-b-d B． d-e-a-c-b C． e-b-a-d-c D． d-e-a-b-c

An early form of a game in which a ball was kicked around a field is recorded in 1004 B．C．Japan．Some sports historians believe that the game of soccer began in England in the third century, however．They say that early English warriors(武士) kicked around the head of a killed enemy． This may or may not be true, but it is certain that soccer is an ancient sport．
Without doubt, the English played soccer during the times of King Edward I in the 1300s． In fact, the king passed a law against playing it．The law said, "There is great noise ．．． caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear．" Anyone caught playing soccer at that time was put into prison．Two hundred years later, Queen Elizabeth I still had people put into prison for playing this "vulgar" sport．
Although there were such laws, soccer grew more popular． In 1681 it became an official(正式的) sport in England． By the 1800s, people throughout the country played soccer． By the 18th century, upper-class boys played it at schools． Its popularity grew among all English people．
At a meeting held in an English school in 1843, the first rules were suggested． In 1863 the heads of English soccer teams met in London to agree on some official rules． They organized an English football association(协会)． By 1871 all of the English clubs were following these rules． Today all soccer teams play by them．
Soccer is called "football" everywhere but in the United States． The game is played mostly with feet． No players except the goalie (守门员 ) may touch the ball with their hands． They may control the ball with any part of the body except their hands．
Soccer is by far the world's most popular sport． Every four years, nearly every country in the world fights for the World Cup． Tens of billions of soccer fans from around the world watch the World Cup on television．
34． According to the passage, a "vulgar" sport probably_____________.
A． appears to be rude B． appears to be old
C． requires lots of energy D． requires good teamwork
A 解析：从第二段“There is great noise ．．． caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear．”可知这种运动会有很多的噪音产生，符合题意的只有A.

Hawaii is a truly beautiful place．Most people know Hawaii for its lovely beaches． However, Hawaii is also a land full of legends(传奇)．One of the oldest legends tells of a special dance called the hula, which started here around 300 years ago．
One hula teacher tells the story of how the dance started． “The hula started, as far as the legend tells it, when Hi’iaki and her good friend Hopoe went down to the beach． And then, when they were there, they noticed the waves(波浪)…and they imitated the waves． And then started to use their hands…like showing the waves．That is how the hula started．”
However, not everyone has always liked the hula．In 1820,some religious(宗教的) people from Western countries came to Hawaii．The visitors were shocked by the hula because the dancers were not wearing many clothes．So they asked the local government to ban(制止) the dance．
After that, most Hawaiians were not allowed to perform the hula in public for almost 60 years．But that did not mean the dancing stopping．Many dances still performed the hula in secret．The dance was always there．
Things have changed．At the moment, people of all ages want to study the old culture．They want to learn how to dance the hula．As a result, more and more people are attending halaus． Halaus are special schools that hula in the traditional way．
Kumano is a hula teacher． For him, the dance is a way to bring the best of old Hawaii culture to people today． Kumano says that the dance is not really about the body．He feels that it is more about the mind．He explains this feelings,”…the hula is more… not so much a physical thing, but more of a mental thing．For new dances, the dancing means very little, because for Hawaiians today, many of them don’t speak the Hawaiian language． So, what I try to do is to mind the real thing they see today．”
Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “imitated”in this passage?”
A．Absorbed B．Chased． C．Recorded． D．Copied．
D
解析下文“And then started to use their hands…like showing the waves”用他们的手...像是展现海浪的样子可知，此处imitate表示的模仿复制的意思。

In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能)． They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can’t． As a result, US boys and girls hope to be actors, athletes and doctors; many even want to become presidents when they grow up．
US parents often encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities at school． They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature(成熟)． Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are important as well．
But things in China are different． Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams． They think that, for a student, staying away from schoolbooks means wasting time． This puts a lot of pressure on Chinese students, so leaders in China’s education department have called for less homework at the lower grades． Only healthy kids can become healthy adults．

57． American parents think that ．
A． Schoolwork is as important as social skills
B． Schoolwork is more important than social skills
C． Schoolwork is less important than social skills
D． Passing exams is the most important for their children
解析：本题主要针对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。由第二段最后一句“Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are important as well．”可知，美国父母认为学业和社会技能一样重要。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。这就是选项A

It’s important to prepare(准备) for earthquakes because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens． Earthquakes may happen at any time, so prepare some things for your home, office and car．
1． Clothes．
If you live in a cold place, you must keep warm． You might not have heat after an earthquake．
Think about your warm clothes．
2．Flashlights(手电筒) and spare batteries．
Keep a flashlight beside you bed, at your office and in your car． Do not use matches(火柴) after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks(气体泄漏)．
Prepare a radio and some spare batteries． Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information(信息来源)．
3． Food and medicine．
It’s always a wonderful idea to keep some food on hand． For example, some biscuits, some canned food, milk and some other drinks for at least 72 hours． You’d better get some necessary medicine for your family．
4．Water．
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon (加仑) of water daily just for drinking． Store at least 1 gallon of water for a person every day and be prepared for 72 hours． It is suggested that you buy bottled water． Do not open the bottle until you need it． Also, do check the “use by” date．

68．Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?
A．Because earthquakes can be known before they happen．
B．Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood．
C．Because we don’t know when and where an earthquake will happen．
解析：根据文中第一段第一句It’s important to prepare(准备) for earthquakes because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens．可知答案选C。
答案：C
71．You should prepare all of the following except ________．
A ．milk B． fresh vegetables C． biscuits

(3) Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes (基因) decide． In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent． If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too． If you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out．
But genes don’t decide everything． For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力)． Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height．
No doubt you’re wondering how fast you should grow． It depends． There’s no perfect or right answer． Generally speaking, kids grow about two inches (six centimeters) a year between age three and the time when they start puberty．
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years． Two centimeters here and two inches there are not nearly as important as the height you' re at now, how you’ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through．
Don’t be nervous if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time． Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty． The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys． But it can be earlier or later, between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys．
You'll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty．

The underlined word “puberty” means___________ in Chinese．
A． 婴幼儿时期 B． 童年时期 C． 习惯养成期 D． 生长发育期
解析：本题属于词义猜测题。文中第5段提到 Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty． 得知Puberty指的是生长发育期。
答案：D

(4) Much has been said and written recently about heroes, mainly because many people think we have too few of them． There are many different kinds of heroes, but they all seem to have two things in common． First, heroes, by their actions, show the great possibilities of human nature． Second, heroes can also stand the test of time, and their achievements will not be easily forgotten． Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully．
Olympic sportstar Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who is believed to be a hero, warns young people to be careful of making athletes heroes． She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has achieved her goals by working hard． Joyner-Kersee says that a hero should be someone who has an influence on another person’s life．
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well and to be concerned about the greater good． A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time． A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions that improve the world, even if only in small ways．
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who make news, but heroes are people who make history．” Thus, if a person is truly worthy to be called a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten．
We all need heroes． We need to be able to respect people who have been there, done that, and succeeded． Many times the greatest heroes are the people we deal with every day — relatives(亲戚), friends, and neighbours — who will keep going when it is easier to give up． The parent who puts her or his family ahead of herself or himself, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help others — all these people can be considered as heroes． A hero quietly and continuously sets a good example, an example that inspires others to follow．
The underlined word “celebrities” in Paragraph 4 means ______．
A． volunteers B． reporters C． sport players D． famous people
答案：D

细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到，即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。
通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征：
1、对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。
2、词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，或者改变原文句子的语态，给考生制造障碍。
3、语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。
4、正话反说。把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项(适用于寻找错误选项的题目)。
干扰项也是以文章中的某个细节设题，若不仔细辨别，很容易把它当成正确选项。
干扰项有以下特征：
1、将原文内容扩大或缩小。把原文中的限定词去掉或替换，使该选项看似正确，实际上却是错误选项。
2、把未然当已然。改变文中某句话的时态，如把将来时变成现在时，把未发生的事情当成已发生的事情。
3、无中生有。即选项内容是根据主观想象或推测得出的结论，而文中并未涉及。
4、偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”，所述细节确实与原文一致，一不小心就会误选。
5、文不对题。这类题最不容易辨别，选项中的描述与原文完全一致，确属原文中的一个细节，这时要回到题干，看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said,”Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
25.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
26.Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A.you have to make things on your own B.it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C.you can only depend on yourself whatever happens D.it will finally build your character

Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice． A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other． An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking． Educators call it “automaticity(自动性)”．
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words． With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase(短语)． With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text．
It can begin as early as first grade． In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams．
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ． Any child who spends at least 3．5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity． It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home．
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level． If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader． If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice．

The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “ ” in Chinese．
A． 结结巴巴地读 B． 全神贯注地读
C． 心不在焉地读 D． 声情并茂地读
解析：属于词义猜测题。文中原句为With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase(短语)，即通过训练，孩子会读的越来越不．．．，要注意stumble是和less and less搭配使用，因此不难排除其他选项，选A。

Aunt Polly had told Tom to paint the whole fence (栅栏)in front of the house． He thought of the other boys out for the day enjoying themselves and he felt very unhappy． Then he had an idea! He picked up the brush and started painting slowly and carefully． Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared, eating an apple． Tom pretended (假装) not to see him．
“Tom!” Ben said． “Why are you working?”
“Oh, it’s you, Ben,” Tom said, “I didn’t notice you．”
“I’m going for a swim,” Ben said, “but you don’t’ want to come． You want to work, don’t you? It’s much nicer!” Ben laughed loudly． Tom looked seriously at Ben and said． “What is work? What do you call work?”
“Isn’t that work?” Ben asked．
“Well, no． Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You’ve never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!’
“Pleas, Tom． Let me do a little,” said Ben．
“No, Ben． If you do, you’ll do it wrong． You can’t paint very well． If it was the back fence wouldn’t mind, but it isn’t．”
“I won’t do it wrong． I’ll be really careful． I’ll give you my apple．” Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad, His trick had worked．
After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them． Soon, the whole fence was painted white, but not by Tom． He felt very clever because he had discovered something important about the way people are． People only want what they can’t have or want to do what they shouldn’t do．

Space travel is nothing new． The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in 1961．
Since then, people have not only traveled to space, but many of them have also lived there in space stations for some time．
The Soviet Union(前苏联) sent the first space station into space in 1971． This space station was called Salyut I． Salyut I was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments． The first group of astronauts lived there for 23 days． The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations． At about the same time, the United States built its own space station, called Skylab．
Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time． However, it wasn’t until the late 1980s when the Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time． Mir stayed in space from 1989 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in．
Living in apace stations seems to be fun, but astronauts face many problems． One of them is food． All the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle． Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be stored in cans． The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh． Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care．
Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tough． Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating． They also have to be very careful to that food does not float away．

Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “observed” in Paragraph 2?
A． Discovered B． Checked C． Watched D． Fixed
答案：C

I love my Blackberry mobile phone – it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me． I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts． However, I know there are times when I need to move away from these things and truly communicate with others．
I teach a course called History Matters in college． My goals for the class include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas． Because I want students to fully study the material and discuss with each other in the classroom, I have a rule – no computers, iPads, phones, etc． When students were told my rule, some of them were not happy．
Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology． There’s a bit of truth to that． I’ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers’ classrooms．
Some students think that I am anti-technology． There’s no truth in that at all． As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it．
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations． Interruptions (中断) by technology often break students’ thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas． I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas． I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion．
I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (评价) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create． Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level – a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom．
I am not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I will continue my plan． A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up．

The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means ____．

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth--so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked.
“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you repair this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

Here is an experiment (实验) to see how ants can organize some clever teamwork.
What’s going on?
You can see one of the best examples of insect teamwork by watching ants. If one ant finds food, it leads others there to eat it too. They follow each other by making long trails(踪迹). The ants go back and forth collecting food, to take back to their nest（穴）. When you move the fruit, the ants will still find it. But, instead of making a new direct route to the food, they will follow each other through their old trail route.
29. Which is the correct order to do this experiment?
a. Move the fruit to a new position.
b. Find an ant.

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Generally, they are often taking risks.
Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?
According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers(同龄人) view them-that is “peer influence”.
As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.
In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.
Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?
As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator(油门) but a weak brake(刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.
But the good news is that a violent(暴力的) teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. They get more self-controlled.
31. What does the underlined word "irrational" in the second paragraph mean?
A. Quick. B. Crazy. C. Careful. D. Correct.
答案：B

2．
It was the last day of final examinations at a large college． On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were discussing the exam that was about to begin． On their faces was confidence． This was their last exam before they graduated(毕业)and found jobs．
Some talked of jobs they already had，others of jobs they would get． With four years of college study，they felt ready and able to conquer(征服)the world．
The coming exam，they knew，would be easy． The professor(教授)had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted，but they couldn’t talk to each other during the test．
They walked into the classroom． The professor passed out the papers． The students’ smiles became wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions．
Three hours passed and the exam came to an end． Then the professor began to collect the papers． The students no longer looked confident． They seemed worried． No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand．
She looked at all the worried faces in front of her, and then asked，“How many students completed all five questions?”
Not a hand was put up．
‘‘How many of you answered four?” Still no hands．
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats．
“One，then． Certainly somebody finished one．”But the class stayed silent． The professor put down the papers．“That is just what I expected，”she said．
“I just wanted to make sure you realize that even though you have studied engineering for four years, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know． Instead of testing you on what you learned in this class, I’ve given you questions that skilled engineers face in the world outside the classroom． You can’t expect to be an expert(专家)on the day you graduate． You have to learn as you go．”
Then，smiling, she added，“You will all pass this course, but remember that your education has just begun．’’

What does the underlined word “restlessly” mean in the passage?
A．confidently B．proudly C．excitedly D．nervously
答案：D

3．
Depression is not a choice． Rather, it is a true medical condition like high blood pressure or heart disease． In the United States alone, more than 17 million people suffer from depression with women being twice as likely as men to suffer from the disease． Depression crosses racial and socioeconomic lines． Anyone can suffer from it, and those that do are not "crazy" or "weak"． They have a serious yet highly treatable disease．
Feeling down? You’re not alone． If depression seems pretty common, it is． One in every ten adults suffers from depression． And that’s what has scientists confused． If depression causes harm to the body, why is it so widespread in the population? Some scientists think they may have the answer． Depression may have an evolutionary (进化) benefit． It may improve one’s chances

of fighting off infection (感染)．
Scientists have known that depressed people show an immunoreactive (免疫反应性的) condition known as inflammation (炎症), even when they are not infected． For several years they have been finding that genes (基因) linked to depression also affect the function of the immune system． Stress, which can lead to depression, also change the immune system． These findings suggested that depression was somehow linked to the body’s ability to fight disease．
Some scientists now come up with the idea that depression might have had an evolutionary advantage in the days before modern medicine and antibiotics (抗生素)． Infection was a major cause of death in early human history． Surviving those infections determined which genes were passed to the next generation．
They doubt that depression helped people, especially children, stay alive from infection． Extreme tiredness leads to inactivity and less social contact which helps keep infection from spreading． Having no appetite helps avoid food sharing which can also spread infection． Sleeplessness, which is associated with both depression and immune system activation, may have been a mechanism to keep a person alert(机警) to fight off enemies after injury．
If scientists are correct about this link, it could lead to new treatments for depression． They are interested in drugs that treat conditions where the immune system attacks the person’s own body, known as auto immune diseases． It is possible that medicine known to treat auto immune disease may be successful in treating depression also．
