中考特训阅读电子讲义

主讲：唐瑭

欢迎使用新东方在线电子教材

说明：本讲义跟老师讲课的顺序是一样的，学员只需根据本讲义的顺序来学习即可。

第一课时

在考试中（做阅读时）解题需要三个步骤，分别是：读原文；读问题；挑选项

重要性依次是：读问题〉挑选项〉读原文

考试时操作的顺序是：先读问题，再读原文，最后挑选项

以下依次讲解每个步骤的操作方法：

一.读问题

（做阅读最重要的一个步骤。如果连问题都读不懂，肯定做不对题）

1.把问题分为两类：

1)需要记住的问题：凡是问题中涉及到原文具体内容信息的问题，记住问题中的原文信息

记住在原文中好找的信息，重点放在记时间，地点，大写的词或者名词上（原因：名词在文中不容易改变）

要记的信息，能读懂的尽量读懂，实在读不懂的记长相。记中文就可以。

记信息的目的：

a)为一会儿读原文做准备（读原文时主要的目的在于找出问题中记住的内容信息，对映处

即为问题答案所在位置）

b)在读文章前先对文章内容有一个大概的了解

2)不需要记住的问题：问题中没有涉及到原文具体内容的（换句话说就是不能用原文中某一处

信息作答的题目）

此类的问题有：

1)主旨题（main idea）

This article is mainly talking about_______ ?

Which of the following is the best title ?

2)中心思想题

From the text, we can learn that________?

From the story we know_______?

3)作者态度题

The writer want to tell us________?

What does the writer mean?

4)判断对错题

Which of the following is Not true （right/true/wrong）in the passage?

2.读文章前，重点放在含有原文内容信息的题目上，一会儿做题时也是先做划的题目，再做不划的题目

二.读原文

1.读原文的主要目的：

1)划出解题所需要的内容信息

a)刚才读问题时脑中记的原文信息（把问题中所问的东西在文中找出来）

b)转折词: but, however, although, though

c)重点强调的词或是绝对化的词：none, only, all, everything, must, always

d)数字及序数词

2)读出整篇文章的大概方向及围绕着什么东西说的

2.开始读文章

1)读文章总则：从头到尾读，读时脑中反映中文意思，但是按照英文单词出现顺序接受信息。读的重点放

在文章的段首句，转折句和整篇文章的最后几句。

三.解题

1.先做文中划出对映信息的题目

第一步：关注问题问的是什么？（问什么答什么）

第二步：精确答案所在位置

在读原文时中，我们已经在原文中划出问题中出现的具体内容。但划的那句话一定就是答案吗？不一定。50%题目答案出在所划定的那句里，但不是所有的情况都是这样。因此，文章中划的地方表明答案就在附近，但不一定就是划的那句。

第三步：根据找到的精确信息为依据，看四个选项哪个和精确信息最像，选哪个

2.做完所有的划出对映信息的题目后，再做不划的题目

3.选择答案的思路——答案是比出来的

每道题都要把四个选项通过对比得到答案。答案没有对的，只有更好的。（抛开对不对的判断思路，是因为不求知道答案之所以对的原因，选一个答案只是因为它比其他的三个更好）

4.考场上的解题思路

1)做题时一定要客观，不能主观

判断选项时，所有的判断依据都来自原文，千万不要加入自己的想法和判断。文章说什么就是什么。

2)除非文章中作者有明显的绝对化的观点出现，否则选项中一旦出现绝对化的修饰词立刻排除（all, none,

everything/one, must, only，never，usually, always）

Unit 1

(A)

One day a large rock (岩石)fell down（倒下落下掉下）from a mountain. The rock rolled (滚) down and stopped in the middle of a road in a village. It was like a big ball.

Some of the strongest men in the village tried to lift the rock. They did their best but they couldn't move it away. They tried to push it, they tired to roll it, they tried to pull it with ropes, but nothing worked. "Well," they agreed, "there's nothing we can do about it. We'll have to build another road."

At the time a young boy about 12 years old was standing by. "Excuse me," he said, "but I think I can help you move the rock."

"Y ou?" they shouted. "What are you talking about? All of us have just tried, and even together we can't move it at all." The men all laughed at the boy.

The next morning some people came into the road. One of them shouted, "The rock is gone." More people ran out into the road to see for them-selves. It was true. The rock wasn't on the road any more. It wasn't even near the road. In fact, no one could see the rock anywhere.（无论何处）

"This is impossible." they said. "Where has it gone?" The twelve-year-old boy stood out, smiling. "I told you I could move it," he said.

"I did it last night. Y ou see," he said. "I dug a deep hole next to the rock and the rock rolled down into the hole by itself. Then I covered it with the earth."

The English language is different from any other language. Yet English words do not stay the same. The language is always changing. W e need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.

English can change by borrowing words from other languages, "tomato" was borrowed from Mexico,the word "coffee"came from Turkey, and "tea" came from China. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too.

New words are also made by adding two words together. "Postman" and "grandfather" are words made up of two parts.

Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word "photo" was made from photograph by cutting off the end of the longer word. "Plane" was made by cutting off the front part of airplane. "Smog"（n.烟雾）was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words "smoke" and "fog".

The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named "Sandwich".

Today, roller-skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, no one had any ideas of roller-skating. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin.

Mr. Cho was worried. Something was wrong with his goldfish. To make the fish healthy again, Mr. Cho pushed needles (针) into the backs of the fishes. That may seem unusual to some people, but it didn't seem unusual to Mr. Cho. He is an acupuncturist — a person who uses needles to kill illness and pain.

Mr. Cho left the needles in the fish for several minutes and then took them out. During the next few days he did so again and again. Soon the fish began to feel better. They swam with more energy (精力；气力) and started to eat again. Did the fish get better because of the acupuncture? Mr. Cho thinks so.

Though acupuncture for goldfish is uncommon, acupuncture for people is very common in China. Acupuncturists help people who have healthy problems like headaches and backaches. They even use acupuncture during operations so that patients (sick persons) don't feel pain.

Acupuncture has helped millions of people, not only in China, but all over the world. People say that acupuncture works. But how does it work?

One explanation (解释) of how acupuncture works is thousands of years old. The Chinese were the first to use acupuncture. They thought that energy moved slowly and freely around man's body. They thought that sometimes too much energy — or too little energy — went to one part of the body. As a result, pain or illness came about. But there were several hundred places on the body where an acupuncturist could change the moving of energy. Those places were called acupuncture points. A needle put into an acupuncture point on a patient's leg, for example, changed the moving of energy to the patient's stomach (胃；腹部). When the energy ran right again, the patient would feel better.

There is also a modern explanation of how acupuncture works. Modern doctors point out that the acupuncture points have many more nerve (神经) endings than other places on the skin (皮肤). Nerve endings receive pain messages when someone is ill or hurt. The pain messages then travel through the nerves. Perhaps acupuncture also sends messages through the nerves. These messages stop pain messages that are on their way to the brain (大脑). Because the pain messages never reach the brain, the patient feels better.

People who have been helped by acupuncture may not care which explanation is right. They are just happy to be like Mr. Cho's fish — healthy again.

12. Which picture tells us the right acupuncture point used to kill the pain in the stomach?

13. Which of the following is wrong?

A. Chinese were the first to use acupuncture in the world.

B. Acupuncture has good results on all people.

C. Mr. Cho made his goldfish healthy again with "needles".

D. It seems that people care nothing but the result of acupuncture.

14. Which of the following is the best title (标题)?

A. The History of Acupuncture

B. How Acupuncturists Work

C. Healthy Again-Unusual Needles

D. How Acupuncture Works

(C)

From age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to (根据) age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr. Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor (幽默感) and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence (影响)on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles (难题). He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual (智力的) activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches' cheerful cry of "Well done!" whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication (交流) with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that our paths crossed. Mr. Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2, 1666. In four days it destroyed (毁灭) more than three quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker (面包师)in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery (面包师) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread (蔓延) quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.

By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometre of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.

The fire stopped only when the King finally asked people to destroy hundreds of building in the path (路线) of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.

After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect (建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new stone houses. In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them the new St Paul's.

The fire destroyed the city, but after it London was a better place, a city for the future and not just of the past.
