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。
中考英语阅读理解模拟训练试题:感恩节(Thanksgiving Day)
Thanksgiving Day is a very special day for people in the United States. They celebrate it on the last Thursday in November. Canadians also celebrate Thanksgiving Day, but they do it on the second Monday of October. In Britain, where this festival is called Harvest Festival, people celebrate it earlier in the year, in September.
A harvest is the fruit you take from the trees and the crops you take from the ground. In North America and Britain, harvest time for most fruit and crops is in the autumn. In these countries and other Christian places, people give thanks to God on a special day of the year. They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year and for the good harvest they have had. People usually take small boxes of fruit, flowers, and vegetables to their churches to show their thanks.
The first thanksgiving service (仪式) in North America took place on December 4th, 1619 when 38 English people, arrived in America to make their home in the new country. They held this service not to thank God for the harvest, but to thank God for their safe journeys. The next year, many more English people arrived. They had a bad winter, but fortunately the harvest was good. they decided to celebrate it with a big meal. They shot and killed small animals to eat and cooked everything outside on large fires. About 90 Indians also came to the meal. Everyone ate at tables outside their houses and played games together. The festival lasted three days.
A Thanksgiving Day celebration was held every year for a long time, but not always on the same day of the year. Then, in 1789, President George Washington named November 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the date, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day.
Nowadays, North Americans around the world get together with their families on this day to eat good food and have a happy time.
1. Is Thanksgiving Day celebrated on the same day in North American countries?
2. When did the first thanksgiving service take place in North America?
3. Who made the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day in the USA?
4. What does the word “fortunately” mean in Chinese?
5. Translate the sentence "They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year and for the good harvest they have had." into Chinese.
答案:
1. No, it isn’t. 回答一般疑问句用Yes或No回答。
2. On December 4th, 1619. 细节题。见第3段第一句。
3. President Abraham Lincoln 细节题。见第4段最后一句。
4. 幸运地 词义猜测题。根据前后的转折关系可推测出。
5.翻译:他们感谢上帝在这一年中赐给他们的好运和给他们带来的好收成。
中考英语阅读理解模拟训练试题:如何掌握英语学习规则
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. 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。
中考英语阅读理解模拟训练试题:卖雨伞的老人
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. 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,而是别人的伞。
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。

中考英语阅读理解模拟训练试题:阅读的乐趣

中考英语阅读理解模拟训练试题:怎么交朋友?
It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触) other people. It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests.
Don’t be afraid to show people what you’re really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
Look at people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you’re not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me”. Ask lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect (尊敬), and admire (羡慕)—not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly with a lot of people. That way, you’ll have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances for making friends.

中考英语阅读理解模拟训练试题:发生在车站的小故事
John Smith was an old porter. He worked at the station. Every day he was busy carrying heavy things for the people. He was careful with his work. He was kind to everyone. He was always ready to help others.
One morning he stood in the station. He was waiting for the train. Just then he saw a man running towards the trains with a big bag in his hand.
“No train is starting. Why is he in such a hurry?” the old man thought to himself.
He went up to the man and asked, “May I help you?”
As soon as the man saw the porter, he stopped running.
“Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?” the man asked. He looked worried.
The old porter looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Well, sir. I’d like to help you, but I can’t answer your question because I don’t know how fast you can run.” Then he explained to the man, “The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago. Can you run fast enough to catch it?”
1. What was John’s job?
2. Where do you think the man was going?
3. Why did the man run towards the trains and look worried?
4. What time was it when the man got to the station?
5. What do you think of John Smith?
【答案及解析】
通读全文, 故事讲述的是车站搬运工John Smith有一天在火车站同一名旅客间的一段对话,故事很幽默。
第一个问题是一个细节题,第1段清楚地说明了他的工作:John Smith was an old porter。porter的意思的“(车站、码头) 的搬运工人”,如果考生不认识这个词,也可以由He worked at the station. Every day he was busy carrying heavy things for the people.这两句话了解他的工作性质。因此第一个问题的回答:John’s job was to carry heavy things for the people at station. / He was a porter.
第二个问题是一个推理题,问题:这名旅客要去哪里。由文中这句旅客的问话Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?很容易推断出他要去伦敦。
第三个问题仍要求考生推理得出答案,问题:为什么此人看上去很急的样子朝火车赶去。很显然是因为他在赶火车。对why提问要用because进行回答,第三个问题的回答是Because he wanted to catch the 10:35 train to London.
第四个问题是推理题, 问的是:这名旅客赶到火车站的时间。由下文John的回答The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago可知火车已开走,这名旅客赶到的时间是大约10: 40,因此第四题的回答是It was about10:40 (twenty to eleven) 。第五个问题是归纳题, 考查考生对文章大意的理解。这个问题的回答实际上就是全文的中心句, 在第一自然段里已做了介绍。He was careful with his work. He was kind to everyone and always ready to help others.
