But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car？” “Oh yes，Id love that” After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？” Paul smiled a littleHe thought he knew what the boy wantedHe wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are？” the boy asked He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car. “There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didnt cost him a cent. And some day Im going to give you one just like itthen you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about.” Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

2忌草率行事。在设计理解题时，设计者往往在四个选项中设计出一个似是而非的答案。这样答案干扰性特别强，容易迷惑考生。如果在发现一个看似正确答案时就草率定案，往往会掉进设计者设置的“陷阱”里。处理的方法是：对所给四个备选答案进行分析比较，在理解理解阅读材料内容的基础上进行去伪存真，方可选出正确答案。 3忌主观印象。少数阅读不明确题只需根据生活常识就可选出答案，而绝大多数则不然，考生必须按照原文来选定答案。因此，考生在做后一种测试题时，一定要排除自身的生活经验、经历和已有的知识等主观因素的干扰，按照文章实际反映的情况来选择答案。 4忌囫囵定案。所谓囫囵定案是指考生在未完全读懂文章时就匆忙定案，结果往往选错答案。因此，尚未读懂的地方如果时间允许的话，一定要慢速多读几遍，直到读懂时再定答案。 5忌忽略时间。做阅读理解题时，一定要从整体上控制时间，时间分配根据文章的难易程度有别。文中一两处没弄懂的地方可以暂且放置一边，等把全部题做完后，再回头来处理。因为做完题后，你的心情相对放松了往往会产生新的思路、新的灵感。即使做完题后时间所剩无几了，你再把未处理的题猜测一下也不晚，因为你仍然有选对的可能性。总而言之，阅读理解靠的是扎实的语言基础。 俗话说：冰冻三尺，非一日之寒。扎实的语言基础来自平时严格的基本功训练和长期的知识积累。只要平时刻苦用功，打下扎实的英语知识基础，又掌握了较科学的解题方法做“阅读理解”题是不会太难的。 我们学习英语不只是和别人交流，更重要的是，要通过阅读报刊书籍，研读名著，了解风土人情，生活习惯，科学技术的发展与进步等等。读文章必须理解，怎样才能验证初学者是否掌握了所阅读的文章呢？一般有回答根据短文内容所提的问题，有给出题干，留一个空，再给几个答案，让答题的人根据短文内容来确定正确的答案；也有在题干上留一个空，由答题人直接填写所缺的单词（有些难度比较大的题，则将要填写的词的首字母给出）。无论是哪一种题型，要想解这一类题，必须建立在理解文章内容的基础上，否则就是一句空话。中考英语“阅读理解”题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评估能力等。试题中所选的阅读文章题材多样化，涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面。体裁多样化，包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格等各种文体。它要求考生阅读理解准确率高、阅读速度快。大致来说，主要针对如下方面： 1文章的个别词或句子；2文章的某细节或情节；3文章的主题；4文章的背景知识；5文章的结论或结局；6文章内涵的隐义或寓意等。主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评估能力等。 具体来讲主要有以下几种题型： （一）、直接理解性题目 这种题目比较简单，只要通读全文，了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节，就可以解答出来，有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。 （二）、语义理解性题目 题目要求对文中个别难词、关键词、词组或句子作出解释。解答这类题目时需要对有关的上下文，甚至整篇文章的内容建立准确、立体的理解才能做出正确答案。 （三）、逻辑推理性题目 这种题目有一定难度，往往不能直接从文中找到答案，而必须根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后，才能找到答案。有时甚至还得联系作者的意图、态度等弦外之音、文外之意加以推理，才能获得正确答案。 （四）、归纳概括性题目 要求在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章作出归纳、概括或评价。解这种题目时，不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义，比如涉及文章的标题（title）、主题（main idea）、结论（conclusion）、结局（end）等有关问题，都需要在细读全文的基础上，结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识、科学专业知识进行逻辑思维、推理、判断，从而获取文章中内隐的信息。1考查学生在阅读中准确捕获信息的能力。这就要求通过阅读短文，运用自己所学的语法、词组、短语等方面的语言知识，根据自己的理解，掌握所读材料的主旨和大意，以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和情节，能回答短文后面所给的问题。 2要求学生既理解具体的事实，也理解抽象的概念；既理解文章的表层意思，也理解文章的深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等“弦外之音”。 3要求学生既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并据此进行推理和判断。 4要求学生既能根据材料提供的信息去理解，也能结合自己应有的常识去理解。在中考前的一个月中，除了根据学校老师的安排进行总复习外，同学们自己复习英语时如何才能少走弯路呢？笔者提出三条建议。逐个消灭弱项每位考生要静下心来，对自己作一个客观的评估，找出自己的弱项，缺什么补什么。一般来说，到现在为止，自己的弱项不会太多。即使有较多的弱项，也要找最弱的先补习。可以先注意词汇的复习。词汇掌握好坏与听力、语法、阅读、选择及写作均有直接的关系，建议考生先把要求掌握的单词词组认真筛选几遍，巩固拼写与词义，然后复习一下单词的种种变化和用法。以单词c are为例，它可以做名词，也可以做动词，其形容词形式有c areful与c areless，再可以变为副词形式carefully和carelessly，而careless又有其名词形式c arelessness等，这些不同的形式在句子中又有着不同的用法。如：1、You should take care of your -self.（名词）2、I dont care for smoking.（动词）3、Be carefu l when you cross the street.（形容词）4、Som e careless person has broken the glass.（形容词）5、Walk carefully，or you may fall.（副词）在英语的十大词类中，动词无疑是最为活跃的词类之一。动词是构成句子的重要组成部分，它有谓语动词和非谓语动词的区别，有及物动词和不及物动词的区别，有瞬间动词和延续动词的区别，有主动语态和被动语态的区别和时态的区别。动词又可以与其他的词搭配构成丰富多彩的词组。以m ake为例：m ake friends with sb.（与交朋友），m ake a film（拍电影），make mistakes（犯错），m ake a noise（吵闹），make a fire（生火），make money（挣钱），make progress（取得进步），make use of（利用）以及由make构成被动语态的多种用法，如：be made of，be made from，be made by，be made for ，be made in，be made upof等，希望考生要弄清以上这些问题。每天朗读课文每天要听510分钟的英语录音来维持和提高听力水平。要坚持每天朗读一两篇课文，要通过听与读来巩固语感，保持对英语听力的敏感性。参加中考的学生大多会感到最难的莫过于完形填空，因为完形填空不仅从阅读的语言知识上对考生的应用能力进行考察，而且还需要考生有较好的语感和较广的知识面。做完形填空切忌急于求成。考生要先通览全文，大致了解文章的体裁、内容、情节的发展或前因后果。面对空格中要填写的单词可以先做试探性的猜测，然后逐句细读，根据上下文意思选取语法正确，意思贴切的单词填入。如果给了首个字母，范围就更缩小了。对于把握不大的空格，可以先搁置一下往下读，说不定答案就在下文中呢！完形填空的成功建立在足够的词汇量，熟练的语言表达能力，正确的语法知识和较广的知识面的基础上的。如：The them e of the 2010Shanghai World Expo is“Betty City，Better 1”.This them e is2of new ideas .The World Expo is known 3the Econom ic Olym pics.when held in Shanghai in2010，it will give much to the development of Shanghai .At 450million visitors 5around the world will com e to the sixmonth exhibi-tion in2010，we Chinese people should do our 6in preparation for Expo2010.在这篇完形填空文章中，第一空考查每一位考生对2010上海世博的主题是否了解，应填l ife。第二空是一个词组be full of，第三空考查be known as的用法。第四空at least有“至少”的意思，第五空应填f rom，而最后一空则又是一个词组do ones best。考前练习小短文要坚持写一些5080字的小短文，要多用自己熟悉的单词、词组和句型，题材要广泛，如写一件事、一个人、一个物品、一封信、一则通知、一则广告或根据图画写话等，要注意拼写正确，无语法错误，表达要达意，可把自己写的短文让老师批改一下，找出自己还存在的问题，进行分析，及时补缺。最后，“看试卷”也是一种有效的复习方法，请考生把近期做过的大小试卷和练习题分门别类整理一下，定下心来认真仔细过一遍，把以前存在的问题弄清，有针对性地进行强化复习。相信通过以上这些办法进行最后复习，考生在中考中一定能考出优秀的成绩。生活中的两极发布时间：2009-01-14，作者：putclub来源：

I cant remember a winter being as cold as this, but Im sure there were colder days. Even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute, its easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you absolutely must, but bhen again I often have to push myself to accomplish things. People I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods. They say theyre “under the weather,” not feeling good about this time of year. As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday, it was so cold that my nose and face felt crisp and my cars were stinging. Of course, that doesnt matter to Ricky and Lucy. They have a routine they must go through to find just the fight spot no matter how cold or hot it is. So I wait. But this time it was different. As cold as it was, I suddenly was invigorated thinking about how wonderful this extreme cold really was. Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summers scorching hot days flashed through my mind. I could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon, sweat pouring down my brow and the hot, burning sun againse my face. I reminded myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat. I was right. Two extremes in my life that most of the time I find uncomfortable, I normally dread them and gripe about it all the way through. But today I was grateful for them. Without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days when things were just right. Without the extremes life would be boring. Its being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more. Health challenges reminds us that we need to pay more attention to how we live. Financial extremes reminds us that when things are in excess its time to tuck away for when the times are lean. So bring on the cold so I appreciate the heat more. Make me sweat on a hot summers day so I wish I had a handful of snow to rub my face in. Ive come to the conclusion that all too often I find a reason not to be happy with where I am at that moment. Whether its hot or cold, good health or bad, in the money or out of it, I always wanted it to be different. But no more. I want to start finding a reason to be happy right where I am. Even if its simply the fact that Im alive.

The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky. The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this is what she needed. Its getting late, she thought, I must go home, my parents will be wondering where I am. She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself to bungalow 163, where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house. It was really getting dark now, the sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite jumper on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought dissipated when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now. It all seemed deserted. She couldnt understand what was going on. She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said: Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready, I went looking. Ellen was her mother but - where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadnt slept for days. She was really pale. Jenny would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired to force her. So Jenny just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up something was different.she wasnt in her mothers room and she wasnt wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas. It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice. Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.一阵微风吹过詹妮弗的头发，金红色的太阳即将落山。海滩上的詹妮弗望着那火红的圆球，不禁惊异于它的颜色：中间是红彤彤的，向外柔柔地变成黄色。她只能听到海浪的声音，还有在天空中高高飞翔的海鸥。眼前的景象使她放松下来，出走几天的经历，让她感受到这才是她所需要的。她想：“天晚了，我该回家了，父母会惦记我在哪里。”她在猜想自己离家三天才回来，父母会做出什么反应。她一直走着，径直走向163号平房，每年暑假，她都是在那儿度过的。一路上空寂无人，她慢慢地、静静地走着，再有几百米就能安全到家了。天
