间有着

依据主题句定短文的中心：任

意一篇文章通常是围绕一个中心展开并且由段落组成的 ；段落之
内在的紧密联系，而表达段落主题的句子叫主题句，通常置于段落的开头，有时在段落末尾和中 间；其它的

句子是用来说明和阐述主题
句的；若把一个个主题句加以整理，你能悟出 其中心思想，同时还可以回避、排

除个别生词、难句（等困难信号）所带来的干扰，但也有一些文章的中心思想常贯穿在全文中，因而要综观

全文，对全文有一个透彻的理解才行。

如：

On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends, Kevi n and Simo n,
while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Ama nda. There were some other members I did n know. We had come from differe nt
places and none of us knew the area.

为

具体事实、重要细节是主题句的扩展 、补充、说明或例证，是用来支持和说明中心思想的，而且是阅读理解

测试的重要组成部分。

运用构词法、语境线索等帮助来推测关键词义：

在阅读文章的过程中，常常会遇到一些生词，如果不

懂得这些词义就会妨碍理解，但 大部分生词的词义是可以根据上下文，结合构词法、借助文章中的语境线索

帮助在理解基础上猜测其词
义，这有助于加快阅读速度，提高阅读理解能力。如：

Water is all around us. Water is in the ocea n. Water is in the lakes and rivers. Water is in the air. There is more
water tha n land on the earth. All livi ng things must have it. We must have it, too. We cannot live without drinking water. Sometimes, we
do not have all the water that we need. The land will dry up without water. Sometimes, there can be too much water in the Ian d. If it
rains very, very hard, the rain water will run dow n the hill. It takes some of the land with it when it runs down the hills. It is called erosion
when the water takes the land away.
“
Erosion
”
in the passage means
_
__________ .
A.
地震

B.
雪崩

C.
侵蚀

D.
霜冻

侵蚀”，答案为
C
。

根据前面的语句

If it rains very, very hard, the rain water will run down the hills. It takes some of the land with
it when it runs down the hills.
解释可以推知

erosion
是一种自然地理现象，即

2.
训练阅读速度

在阅读中，我们或多或少会碰到一些生词和不熟悉的短语，这些生词和 短语会妨碍我们对文章中心的理

解，但我们总是查阅词典也
会影响阅读的速度。为了 不查词典又能破解生词词义，并理解好文章的中心，要

求考生根据构词法判断词义。

女口：

This material is
unreadable.中
unreadable
是生词。学生可以根据词根

知道
un
和
able
分别为前缀和后缀，那么
unreadable
的意义就 不难猜测了；

反义词线索；解释性线索；例证性线索；标点符号线索等。如：

A.
The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year.
定语从句中的
looks after sheep
就解释了

herdsman
的词义为

牧人”。

B.
Like her younger sister who is gregarious, Alice also likes to make friends.
句首的

like
（像）这个语境线索说

明：

句中的

gregarious
与

likes to make friends
意义相近。

通过这些方式可以帮助学生加快阅读速度，进一步提高阅读正确率。

3.
改进阅读方式

（
1
）

预测：培养学生依据文章 标题（副标题）、插图以及相关的背景知识和社会生活经验，对文章的大

致内容预测以及可能 涉及
到的词汇，然后阅读文章的第一段，并对自己的预测进行验证、纠正，同时抓住主

题句、关键词，从而更好地从整体上去理解和把握文
章的中心。

（
2
）

略读：指导学生快速浏览全文，领会文章大意，辨析文体， 掌握篇章结构，进而抓住文章的中心。

3
）查读：指导学生在浏览全文的基础上进行 查读，以回答个别事实细节性的问题。有些细节性的问题不

能直接在短文中找到答案，必须进 行必要的综合、归纳、转换才能获得，也就是要在直接可获得的事实和细

节的基础上经过综合 、归
纳、转换间接地获得所需要的事实和细节。它通常涉及数据、时间、人称、代词的

指代、动作的行为的关联、动作行为者与承受者、地
点和空间、表态方式、因果、条件、内涵与外延等 。如：

One day Mrs Wison went shopp ing with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopp ing cen ter.
“
Why do you buy things here
n ear our home,
”
Mrs. Wils on said.
”
Tracy wan ted to know.
“
Because they are cheaper here tha n at the corner si
”

read
，

还可以培养学生根据生词与上下

文的关系来猜测其意义。生词所在的句子、段落会提 供很多的暗示和线索，依据这些暗示和线索就可以理解

生词的词义了。如：同义词
“
Help me check the prices, please.
The Wils ons were not rich and Mrs. Wils on was always careful with her mon ey. She looked carefully at the
prices of thin gs. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the childre n said,
think you saved money by going to the supermarket.
there.
”

“
We know,
”
the children said,
more tha n the money that you saved !
“
but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry. The taxi fare was
”

”

“
Of course I did,
”
Mrs. Wils on said
“
Every
Mrs Wils on added everyth ing up. Her childre n were right.
“
Well done,
”
she said.
“
Next time we
'
ll do the shopping nearby.
①

The things at the corner store were
__
tha n those in the supermarket.
A. cheaper B. nicer C. more expensive D. Better
②

Mrs. Wilson _______
in the end.
A. spent more money
C.
lost some money
B. paid less money
D. saved a little money
”

这两个问题都是细节性问题，但又不能直接从文章中得出答案，要经过分析和计算 间接地获得事实细节。

①选

C
。由

Mrs. Wils on
的话

“
Because they are cheaper here tha n at the corner store n ear our home.
士回家将打的士的费用摊进去就高于节省的费用了，

more money in the end.
4.
扩大英语阅读量

目前初中英 语教科书所提供的阅读量较以前有较大幅度的增加，在题材、体裁的选取，功能与话题的设

计 方面
均注意到多样化和广泛性；内容贴近学生实际，教师可以立足教材阅读材料指导和训练学生阅读方法

与技巧，教学语言知识和指导学生
掌握句法、语法，扩大词汇量，培养阅读兴趣，帮 助学生奠定一定的英语

阅读能力。但教材中的阅读量离大纲和课标要求的阅读量远远
不够。课标五级阅读要求规定：除教材外，课

外阅读量应

达到

15
万字以上。因此教师要督促学生精读泛读结合，通过广泛的阅读不仅
有利于学生扩大词

汇量，丰富语言知识、开阔视野，开拓思路，还有利于了解英美等国的文化背景、生活风俗、思维习惯及 英

语特有的
语言表达方式，从而提高阅读理解能力。

泛读时，要 求学生对阅读材料中的各种语言现象不作全面精细认真的分析，而是根据已掌握的语言知识

尽快地获取所需要的信息。

5.
强化阅读训练

(1)
指定阅读范围：教师按学生的英语水平将其分成不同的组别，选择与之相适应的英语读物
(配有一定

量的问题
)
，分别规定阅读
的范围，要求他们课外自 行安排时间，带着问题快速阅读，并规定一个较宽松的

期限进行检查。

(2)
进行阅读指导：对学生阅读过程中遇到的疑难，教师要及时答疑辅导，以帮助学生顺利 阅读。但要注

意从学法上多加以指导，
帮助和引导他们自行分析和解决问题。

(3) < br>检查阅读效果：到了规定的阅读期限教师可以通过口头练习和笔试结合的方式分组检查学生阅读任务

完成的情况。口头练习以
学生回答有关问题、讲述阅读文章的心得为主；笔试检查要求学生 完成正误判断题，

选择题，填空题等。

(4)
展示阅读效果： 利用英语课外活动，通过开展书评、辩论会、演讲会等活动来展示不同组学生课外泛

读的成果 。分
A
、
B
组评论
读物；讨论读物的人物特征、主要情节等，让学生 在宽松的氛围中各抒己见，互相

交流，从而促进学生阅读时积极思考，认真阅读，同
时加深对读物的理解，培养表达能力。

6.
加强评估指导

通过 评估测试可以检测学生阅读理解实际能力与水平，可以摸清学生的强项与不足，从而为进一步培养
学生阅读
能力提供依据。教师要充分发挥阅读测试的指挥棒作用。阅读测试文章选材要广泛多样，篇 幅要恰

当，难易要适中，从而确保阅读测试
的信度和效度；在题型设计上做到主观性 题型和客观性题型兼顾，并针

对学生平时阅读中反映出来的重点、难点与疑点，避免题型过于
单一以及偏题、怪题现象，更不能片面追求

试题难度。客观性测试题要能通过阅读文 章直接找到答案；主观性测试题要能在阅读短文后
通过上下文，运

用联想、比较、归 纳、分析判断文章的隐含意义。测试后要认真进行分析和总结，做到发现问题及时解决，

以便进一步
提高。

分析可知

选

A
。

Mrs
②
Vilson
在超级市场买的东西是便宜的，但返

回时由于东西多结果打的
因此可以知道：

B
做阅读理解的五点注意

一、五点注意

注意一：试题各小题所提供的四个备选项，有的是语法、结构上有错误 ，有的是与短文意思不相符。解题时要

把有结
注意二：

对短文中 的生词或看不懂的句子，应大胆根据构词法及上、下文意思进行猜测，尤其对涉及文中某个

词或某个句子含义的
构、语法错误的先排除，再考虑是否符合短文内容。

选择试题，要根据文章所阐述的主要内容及上、下文内在逻辑关系，大胆分析推断，去伪存真

选出正确答案。

注意三：

对于涉及文章主旨、大意、作者意图及 短文标题等选择试题，虽然短文中没有直接说明，可统观全文，

通过短文所提供的
材 料或联想短文材料以外的常识，如结合已学过的自然、社会科学知识加以综合理解、分析推测

或按作者的思路进行推理，从而且推断
出正确答案。

注意四：
< br>做选择试题时一般先做在文中能直接找到依据的细节题，后做主旨题、推理题。这样在对语篇有更多

领悟的基础上再进行
推理判断和概括总结，把握性就更大。

注意五：

阅读的顺序一般是先读短文，再看题目，然后逐题作答。若文章较长，也可 以先将测试题目通览一遍，

然后带着问题阅读
文章。这样对与答题有关的段落、句子 反应敏感，而对其他与答题无关的部分可以不必花费太多

时间，阅读速度就可加快些。

C
“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

）
。

D
阅读简答的答题技巧

学生们做

“阅读简答

”这样的题目时，

普遍觉得不难，而考试结果一出来，却发现得高分的不多，

原因就在于这种

题型不仅要
求考生读懂文章

,
还要求他们用自己的语言简练的回答有关问题；

既考查了学生的阅读理解能力，

也考查

了他们的英语表达能力和概
括能力

的。

1.
通读全文。做简答题的关键是要读懂原文，因此首先要通读全文、弄清楚段落大意及文章的中心意思以及作

者的基本观点、态
度，正确理解语境。

2.
按题查读，即根 据问题去寻找答案。认真阅读问题，充分理解问题，准确理解所问的内容，确定需要在文章

中查找的对象，避免
答非所问。

3.
简练作答。在基本确定了每 道题的回答内容之后，就要用简练、准确的英语表达出来。注意回答问题时要切

中要点，不要 画蛇添
足。组织答案时，注意避免语言错误，如：时态、主谓一致、句子结构和拼写等。如需引用原
文，要作适当改动，最好不要整句照搬

.

4.
认真核查。完成所填的答案以后，再将原短文和补全后的短文或句子放在一起

,
审读一遍，上下对比参照，逐

,
另外

,
对回答的拼写、语法的正确性的要求，使得做简答题有一定的难度。再加上

解答这样的题型几乎没有猜题的技巧可言，也从某种意义上加大了做题的难度。要想取得较好的成绩，好的解题 步

骤和技巧是非常重要
一检查所填的词是否符合原文主旨和细节，是否答非所问，是 否仍存在语法、词汇拼写等错误，另外还有一点也要

注意：如果对字数有
要求

,
是否符合要求。

5.
答案形式要符合提问方式。不同类型的问题要求有不同形式的回答，不能仅仅为了答案的 简洁而忽略了问题

与回答在形式上的对
应。如原文中提问方式为

“
why”
，
那么就要用“
because
引导的从句来回答。
答题时值得注意的是：根据语境、先定词义、后定词形。因此首先得纵观全文，围绕中心意思，综 合考虑来确

定词义，保证所填的
词符合全文的大意。查读相关的段落或词句时，应仔 细对照留有空格的句子或问题，找出充足

的依据来确定该空格应填词的词义。所填
的 词还必须符合语法正确的原则，必须从词语搭配、句型结构以及人称、

时态、语态上来判定所 填词的正确形式，所填的词以实词为
主，有些要填的词可以从原短文中直接找到答案。

E
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< br>
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 。

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 ou t 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
result, many stories are about some kind of danger a nd 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

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情色彩不< br>
一定直接表述出来，而往往隐含在
C
。

'
t want to read stories about everyda
(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
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
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。

F
如何猜测阅读理解题中的生词词义

词汇是阅读理解的基础的基础。我们必须掌握教材 中所学所有的单词和词组；了解构词法知识，如熟记一些常

见的前缀、后缀，以
及词 语的合成和转化等；并且要进行大量的课外阅读扩大自己的词汇量。要阅读需要一定的词

汇量 ，同时在大量阅读的同时不仅可以复
习学过的词汇而且还可扩大自己的词汇量。尽管如此，在阅读中还是 不可

避免会遇到生词或者熟词生义，在英语阅读理解试题中猜测词
义也是必不可少的 题目，因此，我们必须学会如何猜

测词义。任何一个词语，在一定的上下文中只能表示一个确 定的词义。据此，我们
可以尽可能地利用上下文来猜测

词义，即从已知推求未知，也 就是用我们所熟悉的词或短语来猜测我们不熟悉的词的词义。猜测词义
时，我们可以

从以下几个方面来考虑：

一、根据定义或解释猜测词义

A bag is useful and the word
the bag
”
. It is the same as
“
bag
”
is useful. It gives us some interesting
短语
0
s
esne is
“
to tell a secret
”….

“
lets the cat out of the bag.
”

“
to let the cat out of
Now when someone lets out
（

泄漏
）
a secret, he
John
“
lets thceat out of the bag
”
means he
__________ .
A.
makes everyone know a secret
C. buys a cat in the bag
B. the woman bout a cat
D. sells the cat in the bag
在这篇文章里，

“
let the cat out of the bag
虽然是”一个新出现的短语，

但紧接着后面就给出解释

It is the same as
“
to tell a
secret
根据这”一解释，我们就可判断出正确答案应为

二、根据情景和逻辑进行判断

As they go around town, the police help people. Sometimes they find lost children. They take the children home. If the police see a
fight, they put an end to it right away. Sometimes people will ask the police how to get to a place in town. The police can always tell the
people which way to go. They know all the streets and roads well.
In the text,
A.
stop
“
put an end to
”
means
“
_________
”.

B. cut
C. kill
D. fly
A
。
< br>根据文章所提供的情景，如果警察看到有人在打架，他们肯定会去制止。因为制止打架斗殴是警察的职责。 根

据这一推理，答案应
该是

A
。

三、根据并列或同位关系猜测词义

There is a place on our earth where hot water and steam come up under the ground. It is on a large island in the Pacific Ocean.
The island is North Island in New Zealand.
What does the word
“
steam
”
mean in Chinese
A.
自来水

B.
大气

C.
冰川

D.
蒸汽

从语法上看，

steam
和

hot water
是并列关系，我们就以断定这两种东西是相关的，是同一类物质。在所给第四

个选项中只有

“蒸汽

”有这种可能。

四、根据背景和常识判断

The following morning when I went to see how my captive
（
caged
）
bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead.
I was terribly surprised! What had happened! I had taken extremely care of my little bird. Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, who
happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had happened.
“
Amother
mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries
（
毒莓
）
.She thinks it better for her young to die tha n to
live in captivity.
An ornithologist is probably a person who _____ .
A.
studies birds
B. loves creatures
C. majors in habits
D. takes care of trees
”

Ornithologist
这个词从来没有见到过，

但是通过他的语言我们可以判断出这是一个对鸟很有研究的人。

我很爱鸟，

把鸟装在笼子
里，并细心照料，而且鸟的母亲也飞过来喂这只鸟，但这只鸟却死了，我很不理解 。到我家来的这个

人给我详细解释了鸟死的原因，说
明这个人非常懂鸟。据此，我们可以断定答案影视

A
。

G
利用主题句解阅读理解题

最有效的办法是找出主题句。一篇文章

(
或一段文章

)
通常都是围绕一个中心意思展开的。而这个中心意思往往

由一个句子来概
括 。这个能概括文章或段落中心意思的句子叫做主题句。因此，理解一个段落或一篇文章的中心意

思首先要学会寻找主题句。主题句一
般具有三个特点：

(1)
概括性强：表述的意思比较概括。

(2)
结构简单：句子结

构较简单，多数都不采用长、难句的形式。

(3)
受它支
撑：段落中其他的句子是用来解释、支撑或发展该句所表述的

主题思想。在一篇短文或一个段落中，大部分主题句的位置情况有三种：

一、主题句在段首或篇首

主题句在段首或篇首的情况相当普遍。一般新闻报道、说明文

,
议论文大都采用先总述，后分述的叙事方
法。例

如：

All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant
grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind
of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain
（

食物链
）
。
Some food cha ins become broke n up if
one of the links disappears.
第一句即是主题句。这个句子概括了本段的中心意思：

的。

二、

主题句在段末或篇末

用归纳法写文章时，往往表述细节的句 子在前，概述性的句子在后，并以此结尾。这种位于段末或篇末的主题

句往往是对前面细节
的归纳总结或者所得出的结论。例如：

If you buy some well-made clothes, you can save money because they can last Ion ger. They look good even after they have been
washed many times. Sometimes some clothes cost more money, but it does not mean that they are always better made, or they always

句子就是主题句。

三、

无主题句

有时，一篇文章里并没有明显的主题句。这时我们应该怎样来确定文章的主 题或中心意思呢其实这也不难。我

们可以首先找出每一
段的中心意思，各段的中心意 思往往都是围绕一个中心来展开的，或者说是来说明一个问题的。

这个中心或这个问题就是这篇文章的主
题或中心意思。

这篇短文表面看起来没有主题句，那末怎样来确定它的中 心意思呢按照上面的说明，我们先找出每一段的大意：

第一段讲的是
killer
bees
的产生。第二段讲的是

killer bees
的急剧增加。第三段讲的是人们害怕

killer bees
的原因。

第四段讲的是

已经杀死的人数和将来的状况。

从这几段的大意可以看出这篇文章自始至终都是围绕

就是这篇文章的主题。

_______ (9) the headmaster saw this, he wanted to

him. But he failed that day again.
二、答题分析

第一步：快读全文，掌握大意。通读原文我们知道。文章讲叙了

Robert
和校长的一些情况，

Robert
是一个初中

学
生，他出生于贫困之家，但学习努力与同学相处融洽。校长出生于富贵家庭对

Robert
很不友好，总是想尽办法惩

罚他
, Robert
时刻小心
提防他。一天下午校长又想趁机惩罚他，但未能得逞。

第二步：

细读改写，

寻找异同。

如原文中说

Two and half years ago he came to the city and began to study in a middle school.
而改写中却是

He is in Grade _____________ (1) now.
由原文中的

Two and half years ago
可知第

(1)
空要填

Three.
原文

中说

He studies hard and gets on well with his classmates,
而改写中却是

He studies hard and his classmates are
(2) to him.
由于
“他与同学相处融洽

”那么“他的同学一定是对他很友好了

”。因此第二空填

kind
或

friendly
。第

3
空是一个典型的同义句改写，即

help sb. with sth.
与

help sb. to do sth.
的转换。

第三步：字斟句酌，各个击破。比如第

4, 5, 7
空与原文几乎没多大差别可先填好

(4) born, (5) rich, (7) afternoon
。

对于与原文有较大差异的空，则需要字斟句酌，细 仔推敲了。我们要在对比改写文中的句子与原文句子差别的前提

下，推测改写文中的
句子所要表达的意思，然后根据我们所学的知识推出所要填写的单词。如：

原文中的

and does his best to make excuses to punish him
正是改写文中

and does
_________ (6) he can to punish him
要表达的意思。这里

does
后面是一个宾语从句，而从句缺少引导词，因此填入

后面省去了动词原形

do
。这句话意为

“并且做他所能做的事情来惩罚他

”。

而原文中的

…
all the stude nts went to have lunch
与改写文中的

all the stude nts we nt
_______
(8) lun ch. went to have
lunch
与

went for lunch
同义。故第

8
空填

for
。

改写中的

______
(9) the headmaster saw this, he wanted to
_
______
(10) him. But he failed that day again.
是对原文

第二段后面部分的概括，通过比较我们知道改写中要表达的意思是

他又失败了

”。因此第

9
空填，

when
第

10
空填

punish
。

“当校长看见那种情况时，他想惩罚他，但那一天

what
正合适。这一空较难因为

can

第四步：复读改写，纠正失误。如：第

1
空应大写首字母，很多考生可能会忽略这一点。

elders. Un luckily, this rule led to my very
first embarrassme nt in the Un ited States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chin ese restaura nt. One time, whe n I was servi ng food to a middle-aged couple, the wife
asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect
the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My man ager, who happe ned to hear what I said, took me aside
and gave me a long lecture about how sen sitive

. I then walked

they un derstood that the problem was caused by cultural differe nces, so they laughed and were no Ion ger an gry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seve nty or eighty, and people who reach such
their rich experie nee.
However, in the United States, people think
a

ng, and wome n put on makeup, hop ing to look young. Whe n I told the couple in the restaura nt that I respect the elderly, they got
angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay youn g. I had told them
something they didn

After that, I cha nged the way I had bee n with older people. It is not that I don them, but

at a restaura nt a few mon ths ago. I also helped to clea n up the tables whe n it

in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure eno ugh, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a
wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his tha nks whe n I
han ded it to him. He asked me if I had ope ned it, and whe n I told him
“

had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved some one

more tha n anything could buy.

Now satellites are helping to forecast
（

）
the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The
satellites take pictures of the atmosphere
（

大气

）
, because this is where the weather forms
（

形成

）
. They send these pictures to
the weather stations. So meteorologists
（

气象学家

）
can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists
can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the
meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may
mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the
weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast
the weather for a week or more ahead

There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-
houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions
（

）
. He tried to grow a rose of a new color
to win the silver cup
（

）
for the Rose of the Year.
Mr. Flowers
'
g-hlaosusses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted
（

引诱

）
to
throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowe rs
'
gla-hsosuses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the
beginning and end of the school day.
But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing
that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to
drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far
away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they
soon found others.
At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice
（

布告

）
made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the
glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further
trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.
