例如:
On February 3rd,1949,New York Harbor(港) was an exciting place.Many people were there to greet a ship from France.On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars(火車車廂) filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America.These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci,a French word meaning "thank you").
After world War Ⅱ(二戰(zhàn)),a lot of factories,roads and farms in France had been destroyed.Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat.In the winter of 1947,a train was sent across the United States,stopping in cities and towns along the way.At every stop,people gave whatever they could.Factories gave clothing and medicine.Farmers gave food.Families gave money.Even school children gave away their pocket money(零用錢).All the things were then taken to France by ship.
By 1949,the French had begun to recover(恢復(fù)) from the war.The Merci Train was their way of saying "thank you" to America.French people had filled the boxcars with gifts.Most of them were personal,like hand-made toys,children's drawings,or postcards.But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts.On each car,the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces,with an American eagle on the front.The boxcars were taken to each state of America,where they were warmly greeted.
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars.Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums.The Merci Train came out of the war,but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace(和平).

2.C 根據(jù)“At every stop,people gave whatever they could... All the things were then taken to France by ship.”可以推測出正確答案為 C。
3.D 根據(jù)第三段第三句和第四句的 personal,like hand-made toys...”可知 them 指代的是 gifts,故正確答案為 D。
4.B 根據(jù)“...the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces,...where they were warmly greeted.”可以推測出正確答案為 B。
5.A 通過文章內(nèi)容我們可知整篇文章都是圍繞 Merci Train 來寫的,故正確答案為 A。
(五)社會(huì)萬象
在中考閱讀理解中,本話題包括的題材很多,它們來自生活,來自社會(huì),針對(duì)這些題材要求抓住關(guān)鍵的句子和一些與考查內(nèi)容有關(guān)的問題所在,這樣便于我們解題時(shí)“順藤摸瓜”,找出問題的答案。這種題型一般是對(duì)文章理解能力的考查,抓住文章的關(guān)鍵句和關(guān)鍵詞是非常重要的。
解題思路:看清題干,明確把握問題指向,帶著問題讀文章,避免“回視”現(xiàn)象,提高做題的速度,提高解題質(zhì)量。
例如:
In most cultures,when you meet people you know for the first time during a day,it is usual to greet them.Once a young woman from England went to Hong Kong to work.When she first arrived,she knew little about the Chinese culture of language.On her way to school one day,she went to a bank to get some money.To her surprise,the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch.She was surprised at such a question because in the British culture it would mean an invitation to lunch.Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young man's interest in dating the girl.Since this bank clerk was a stranger to the British woman,she was very puzzled,and quickly answered that she had eaten already.After this she went on to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question.
By now she understood that it could not be an invitation but was puzzled as to why they asked it.In the following days she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours trying to work out why so many people kept asking her this.At last she thought that these people must be concerned about(關(guān)心) her health.She was rather thin at the time,and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well!
In fact the question like that has no real meaning at all — it is only a greeting.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷句子的正誤,正確的在括號(hào)內(nèi)寫“T”,錯(cuò)誤的寫“F”。
( ) 1.The young British woman went to Hong Kong for work.
( ) 2.The British woman went to the bank to get some money.
( ) 3.The bank clerk invited the young British woman to lunch.
( ) 4.The teacher's question made the British woman happy.
( ) 5.In fact the young British woman didn't know much about Chinese culture.
答案解析
1.T 根據(jù)“Once a young woman from England...”可知這年輕英國婦女是來香港工作的,故此句表述是正確的。
2.T 根據(jù)“...she went to a bank to get some money.”可知此句表述是正確的。
3.F 通過本文最后一句我們可以了解到,在中國問別人“吃了嗎”是表問候,而不一定是真正的想請(qǐng)人吃飯。故此句的錯(cuò)誤的。
4.F 根據(jù)“After this she went on to school and was even more surprised...”可知此句表述是錯(cuò)誤的。
5.T 根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容我們知道,這位英國婦女對(duì)中國文化不是很了解,所以對(duì)“if she had had her lunch”產(chǎn)生困惑。
當(dāng)然,中考英語閱讀理解題的材料遠(yuǎn)不止這些種類,但只要運(yùn)用了上面的基本的解題技巧,也能把這個(gè)題型做得很好。
實(shí)戰(zhàn)練習(xí)

"I know," Henry answered,"I have got no complaints with the bank.It is a pleasant job.The bank manager told me my future was good."
"Then why do you want to leave?" I asked.
"It's the money," Henry said.
"But you are getting a good salary." I answered.
"I don't mean that," Henry said,"What do I do in the bank? Well,at the moment all I do is to count money.I found it very depressing."
"What is depressing about counting money?" I asked.

5.C “錢的煩惱”一方面自己薪水很高,但每天又忙著替別人數(shù)錢而不是替自己數(shù)錢,給他的兄弟帶來心理的不平衡,這些錢不是他自己的。
