(1)
Miss Grey lived in a small house. She was old and did not like noise at all, so she was very pleased when her noisy neighbor moved out. A young man moved in and Miss Grey thought the man seemed to be quiet.
But at three o’clock the next morning, the noise of a dog woke her up. She thought she had never heard a dog there before. It must be the young man’s dog. So she telephoned the young man, said something bad about the dog and then hung up the telephone before he could answer. Nothing more happened until three o’clock the next morning. Then Miss Grey’s telephone rang, and when she answered, a voice said, “You telephoned me twenty-four hours ago. Now I’ve rung you up to say that I haven’t a dog.”
1. Miss Grey felt sorry when her noisy neighbour moved out.
2. Miss Grey’s new neighbour was as noisy as the old one.
3. Some noise woke her up in the early morning.
4. She thought the new neighbour had brought a dog with him.
5. The young man rang up Miss Grey in the early morning, because he wanted to punish(惩罚) her.

Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother, we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no umbrella(伞). We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He had forgotten his wallet, he said, needed taxi-fare(出租汽车费) to go back home. My mother didn’t believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But the old man didn’t get into a taxi. We followed(跟随) him and found he went into a pub(小酒店) and bought himself a glass of whiskey (威士忌) with the pound. After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many wet umbrellas there and went off with the new one. Soon after that, he sold it again.
1. The old man sold an umbrella to the writer and her mother.
2. He gave it to them for only a pound because he had forgotten his wallet and needed taxi fare to go back home.
3. The umbrella was worth more than one pound.
4. The old man sold his own umbrella.
5. He was an honest man.
【答案及解析】
(1)
1. B 细节题。由第1段第2句中so she was very pleased when her noisy neighbor moved out可知。
2. B 细节题。由seemed to be quiet等可知。
3. A 细节题。由第2段第1句the noise of a dog woke her up可知。
4. A 细节题。由第2段的第2、3句可知。
5. A 推断题。她头天打电话来骂他时，尽管他来不及说话她挂了电话，但也可打过去或者第二天某个时候打给她，说他没有狗。而要等24小时后的凌晨3点才打电话告诉她，这不是故意惩罚她吗？
(2)
1. A 推理判断题。虽然文中不可直接找到答案，但由后文的bought himself a glass of whiskey (威士忌) with the pound.中pound前用的是the(那) 和he sold it again中的again(又)可推断出，作者和他母亲买了那个老人的伞。
2. B 事实细节题。由文中所述这个老人收钱后并没乘taxi回家，而是去pub喝酒可知。
3. A 推理判断题。他要将伞卖给作者时说for only a pound中的only可以推断，那把伞不只值１英镑。
4. B推理判断题。这个老头先卖给了作者一把伞，可是他喝酒后又took up one of the many wet umbrellas there，并将其很快卖掉，由此推断卖的并不是他自己的伞，而是别的人伞。
5. B推理判断题。这个老人原来说卖伞乘taxi回家，事实上是上pub喝酒，后来又拿别的雨伞去卖掉，由此可推断他是不诚实的。

中考英语阅读理解实例分析（四篇）

【实例一】
Most people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everyone. The economy (经济) of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not possible, and so more people are out of work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in short time. Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holiday. In all of the countries of the world, machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine can often do the work from forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70% of them can find jobs.

【实例二】
A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.
He came downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up tea things in the kitchen. “These new trousers are too long.” He said. “ They need shortening (缩短)by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please ” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.
But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.
Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches.

5. C. 通读全文，知道有三人把裤子各缩短了两英寸，那么总共缩短了六英寸。

【实例三】
When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “ How do you do ” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.”
“Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.”
“I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
1. From the passage we know that _______when we are learning English.
A. we shouldn’t put every word into our own language
B. we should look up every word in the dictionary
C. we need to put every word into our own language
D. we must read word by word
2. The writer thinks it is _______ in learning English.
A. difficult to understand different sounds
B. possible to remember the word order
C. important to master the rules in different ways
D. easy to master the rules for word order
3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
B. The order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
4. “She only likes apples.” ________.
A. is the same as “Only she likes apples.”
B. is different from “Only she likes apples.”
C. means “She likes fruit except apples.”
D. means “She doesn’t like apples.”
5. Which is the best title (标题) for this passage
A. Different Orders, Different Meanings
B. How to Speak English
C. How to Put English into Our Own Language
D. How to Learn English
【答案及解析】
1. A. 从整篇文章我们知道，在学习英语翻译句子时，我们不能逐字逐词译成母语，这样做是不明智的，结果是译成错误的句子。
2. B. 从文章中的第二段的这一句中It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. 可知B项为正确答案。
3. C. 从文章所举的两组例子和原句Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. 说明了作者的这一观点：有时，不同的词序会有不同的意思。
4. B. She only likes apples. only在这句中修饰动词likes，意为“她只喜欢苹果，而不喜欢吃其它水果”。Only she likes apples. only在此句中修饰主语she，意为“只有她喜欢苹果，而其他人就不一定喜欢吃苹果了。”所以正确答案是B。
5. D. 从整篇文章可以看出其大意是“怎样学习英语？”，把它作为标题应该是最佳的。
【实例四】
A cheap sweater
Mr. Ford saw a nice sweater in the shop window. It was very cheap. So he bought one.
When he went back home he put the sweater on, It was all right and he was pleased with it.
In the afternoon he went out to work in his garden. It soon began to rain, and Mr. Ford had to run into his house. He ran quickly, but he still got wet.
Then his sweater started to shrink. It got smaller and smaller. Mr. Ford tried to take it off, but he couldn’t.
In the end, with the help of his wife, he got out of the sweater. Mrs. Ford laughed, “ You see, you bought a cheap thing, but…”
阅读短文，然后根据文章内容判断下列各句是否正确，对的用“T”、错误的用“F”表示。
1. Mr. Ford bought the sweater because it was very nice and cheap.
2. “Shrink” here means “become smaller”.
3. Mr. Ford was not good at buying things.
4. Mr. Ford put the sweater on as soon as he bought it.
5. Mr. Ford took off the sweater by himself.
【答案与解的】
1. T. 第1小题的句意与文章的第1自然段意思相同，所以符合短文内容。
2. T. 从文章的第四自然段可知shrink的意思就是become smaller。所以符合短文内容。
3. T. Ford先生上午买的衣服下午穿在身上被雨水打湿后就缩小变形了，由此可知Ford先生不擅长买东西。
4. F. 从文章中的When he went back home he put the sweater on.可知, 他是买了带回家才穿的。所以第四小题与短文内容不相符合。
5. F. 从文章的最后一段可知他是在妻子的帮助下才把衣服给脱下来的。所以与短文内容不相符合。

“先题后文”阅读方法说明
关于“先题后文”，同学们运用此法时要注意：
1. 先读题时只能是读其问题或题干，而不能读问题后的选项，否则不仅浪费时间，而且也无法记住众多答案所表达的众多信息。
2. 在读了题之后，要把这些问题记在心里，并带着这些问题去阅读短文，关于这一点考生是要经过反复的训练才能形成能力的，因为短文后的这些问题本身所表达的信息并不象短文那样有情节，也不象短文那样连贯，所以有不少同学在开始试用这种方法时，往往先读了题之后(尤其是当问题较多时)再读短文时，又忘记是什么问题了。
3. 带着问题读短文时，对短文中出现的那些与问题有关的词句，你可以用一支铅笔在短文中作些记号，以便为下一步选择作好准备，但也要注意不要每读到一个与问题有关的信息点就停下来去对照后面的问题，因为这样转来转去要耽误一些时间，另一方面有些问题往往要通过对短文的全面了解才能作出结论，而不能仅仅从一、二个信息点作出判断。
4. 带着问题读完短文之后，接着便是选择理解题的答案。虽然你是带着问题去阅读短文的，但也并不是说你在阅读时带去的问题全部得到了答案，也可能有些还没有把握(尤其是一些主观理解题)，这时你同样要带着这些“疑题”去跳读短文(具体做法参见上面的“先文后题”的有关说明)。

***************************************************************************
如何应对阅读理解中的细节题和推理题
一、做细节事实题的方法
在阅读理解题目中，有相当一部分是考查细节和事实的题目。这类题目相对容易一些。这些题目有两个共同特点：(1) 凡属针对特定细节的考题，其正确答案大都可以在阅读材料中找到对应的文字部分作为验证。这一部分可能是一个词或短语，也可能是一个句子或相关的若干句子，但句式、用词和表达方式不同。(2) 干扰项往往是主体思想与细节混杂，正确答案细节和非正确答案的细节混杂，甚至真假混杂。因此，要做好阅读理解中的确定细节和事实的题目，一要在文章中找出相应的信息点，二要排除干扰项。
二、做推理判断题的方法
所谓推断，就是根据阅读材料中所提供的信息，推断出未知的信息。即把有关的文字作为已知部分，从中推断出未知部分。据以推断的有关文字可能是词或句子，也可能是若干句子，甚至是全文。中考英语试题中的推断题主要有以下几种：
1．事实推断
这种推断常常针对某一个或几个具体细节，是比较简单的推断。进行这种推断，要首先在文章中找出据以推断的有关文字，然后加以分析，尤其要悟出字里行间的意思。例如：
According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV
A. You often play football with your friends after school.
B. Your teacher has got a cold.
C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught.
D. The bike in front of your house is lost.
在阅读材料中，有这样一段文字：
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news.
根据这段文字，我们可以推断：电视报道的新闻故事必须是有趣的和不平常的。因此，正确答案应为C。
2．指代推断
确定代词的含义和指代对象是阅读理解题常见的题目。要确定指代词所指代的对象，关键在于对所在上下文的正确理解。指代名词的指代词，其单复数形式英语被指代的词一致，因此数的形式可作为识别指代对象第一个辅助标志。
3．逻辑推断
这类题目往往是要求根据文章所提供的背景，人物的表情，动作和语言来推断出人物的态度或感觉。
4．对作者的意图和态度的推断
这一类考题大都要求考生就作者对论述对象持什么样的态度做出推断，如作者对所陈述的观点是赞同、反对，还是犹豫不定，对记述或描写的人、物或事件是赞颂、同情、冷漠，还是厌恶。作者的这种思想倾向和感彩不一定直接表述出来，而往往隐含在字里行间。因此，进行这种推断时，我们既要依靠短文的主题思想作为推力的前提，又要注意作者的措辞，尤其是形容词一类的修饰语。

We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future Are these children lucky or not
Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.
But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well What do you think
1. “To be familiar with” means to ______.
A. know nothing B. know about C. dislike D. like
2. Does everyone think computers are good for children
A. Yes, they do. B. No, not everyone thinks so.
C. They don’t know. D. They are not sure.
3. What can computers help children to do
A. To think clearly, to do homework and to write. B. To play games, to do math and to copy.
C. To think clearly, to get information and to use it well. D. To count, to clean the house and to get information.
4. Does the writer think computer is a good thing
A. It isn’t mentioned. B. No, he doesn’t think so. C. He doesn’t know. D. Yes, he does.

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light that you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km. per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars had started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we can’t say, “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say instead, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago, but their light has only just reached the earth.”
1. Light speed is ______ sound speed
A. as fast as B. a million times slower than
C. about millions of times faster than D. about a million times faster than
2. If you stand 200 metres away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that ______.
A. you can hear the sound before you see the smoke B. the sound does not travel as fast as light
C. the sound will reach you before the man fires D. sound travels about a million times faster than light
3. Sunlight obviously (明显地) ______ than the light of the moon
A. has to travel a greater distance B. moves less quickly
C. travels much more quickly D. is less powerful(有力的)
4. The scientific way of saying "The stars are shining tonight" should be ______.
A. the stars have been shining all the time B. the stars seen tonight will shine four years later
C. the stars were shining long ago but seen tonight D. the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago

3. C 事实细节题。由最后一段，特别是倒数第２个问句可知。
4. D 推理判断题。从最后一段可推断出作者的观点是“计算机是件好东西”。

1. D 事实细节题。由第1段第1句可知。
2. B 推理判断题。由第1段最后一句推出。
3. A 推理判断题。由第2段的第2句(太阳光到达地球需要8分钟) 和第3句(月光到达地球仅需1.3秒) 可推出(太阳光走过的距离明显远于月光)。
