中考英语真题透视“阅读理解”（1）
“阅读理解”是指阅读所给的文字材料，掌握它的主要内容并理解其含义。实际上，“阅
读理解”是通过认识语言形式与结构而获取文字信息的过程。
阅读是英语学习的重要组成部分。阅读理解能力的高低直接影响着听、说、写等各方面能力的形成和发展。因此，各省、市都把阅读理解题作为中考英语必考的最重要的题型之一，并且越来越重视对阅读理解能力的考查：阅读量逐渐增多，知识面逐步拓宽，难度系数逐年加大。
(1)“阅读理解”的具体要求
《九年义务教育全日制初级中学英语教学大纲》对“读”的要求如下：①能预习课文，初步理解课文大意。②学会查词典，能借助词典阅读难度相当于课文的材料，并理解其大意。③能独立阅读所学语言知识范围内的材料，生词率不超过3%。三年制和四年制的阅读速度分别是每分钟40-50和50-60个单词，理解正确率达到70%。
阅读能力强的标志不仅指阅读速度快，而且还要求理解率高。具体体现在如下几个方面：①掌握所读材料的大意，以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。②既能理解具体的事实，也能理解抽象的概念。③既能理解字面意思，也能理解深层含义(包括作者的态度、意图及倾向等)。④既能理解某一句话、某一段落的意义，也能理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能据此进行推理和判断。⑤既能根据材料所提供的信息解决问题，也能结合必备的常识(包括生活常识和相关的其他学科知识等)去理解和处理题目设置的疑难问题。
由于考试过程中不允许考生查字典，因此，要想解答好阅读理解题必须做到以下两点：①掌握相当的词汇量。词汇不过关，处处是难关。平常要多背诵一些基础词汇、词组、习惯短语等。教材中出现的重要句型也必须牢记。这样就能为顺利阅读提供强有力的保障。同时在记忆词汇时，要注意单词的词性及一词多义现象，这样对阅读中碰到的生词的推断会有一定的帮助。②加强“听、说、读、写、译”五项基本技能的训练，创造良好的语境。通过多听、多说、多读、多写、多译，逐步培养语感，提高综合运用语言知识的能力，为阅读能力的提高奠定坚实的基础。
(2)“阅读理解”的题型特点 “阅读理解”是集语法、词汇、逻辑推理、背景知识于一体，测试语言综合能力的题目。它主要用来考查学生综合运用英语语言知识的能力，不仅考查阅读速度，而且重点考查理解能力。
阅读理解题分为阅读材料(短文)和理解运用两部分，其命题形式主要有四种：①选择正确答案；②判断正误；③完成句子；④回答问题。为了便于阅卷，中考采用的命题形式以前两种为主。实际上，阅读理解题无论以哪种形式出现，都是一个问题的不同形式的反映，出发点都是针对短文具体内容理解程度的，即正确答案必须符合原文意思，符合语法规范，语句通顺，符合逻辑合情合理。
(3)“阅读理解”的考查内容
作为一种综合性很强的试题类型，“阅读理解”的考查内容有如下几个方面：
①考查短文的主旨和大意。包括对文章大意、主题的理解，对作者意图或文章中人物观点的理解，以及能从短文内容中推断出结论和作者的弦外之音等。
②考查短文的细节和事实。包括事实识别、有关数字方面的计算或识图、排列顺序等。 ③考查短文中词语的意思或句子的含义。这些词句一般不只是体现其表层意义，而往往具有深层涵义。要求考生能利用阅读材料中的信息，结合上下文来判断其特定意义，或者根据句子的语法关系分析、挖掘其涵义。这就要求考生具备必要的语言知识、相关学科的常识及一定的分析和推断能力。

④考查拟选题目的能力。这是对考生概括能力的检测，难度稍大。因为短文标题的拟定不但取决于阅读材料的内容，而且还受标题特点的影响。一般地，英语短文标题的特点有：省略冠词、be动词或作定语用的人称代词，且多以短语或简单句出现。选择标题的一般原则是：一是要切题，即能概括出全文的主旨；二是要简洁，即文字要简单明了。
(4)“阅读理解”的题型设置
阅读理解是通过语篇对学生综合运用语言能力进行考查的题型。研究近几年的中考阅读理解试题，我们发现，阅读理解题的难度并不是很大，主要以确认短文的事实和细节为主。但是随着新课程标准的实施，对学生高层阅读能力方面的要求已有所增加。比如，在高考英语中常用的逻辑推理、词句理解和归纳全文主旨大意等难度较大的题目也逐渐纳入中考英语考查之列。
从考查形式上来看，“阅读理解”的题型主要分为两大类：客观试题和主观试题。 ① 客观试题
客观试题一般包括选择题和正误判断题。题目的设计方式是：在短文、图文或图表材料后给出若干个不完整的句子，或者根据短文材料内容提出若干个问题，要求考生在正确理解材料的基础上，判断句子的正误或者从所给的四个备选项中选出一个正确答案。考虑到阅卷上的方便，中考阅读理解题大多以这种方式来命制的。例如：I
A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see. Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see Iraqi (伊拉克的) children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad (巴格达). We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad. They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war and the terrible price paid by Iraqi children. “Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son f Abu Singar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son. He tries to make him feel safe by saying, “The bombs (炸弹) are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We?re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows it isn?t always true, little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed. Now things are worse, and the ongoing war makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, hurt or even dead. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
1.What happens to the children in Iraq because of the war? A. The children will get better than before.
B. The children beg for food and water from American and British soldiers. C. The children in Iraq go away from their homes in Baghdad. D. The children live a most terrible life.
2.What does the word “ongoing” mean in Chinese?
A. 正在进行的 B. 非正义的 C. 未授权的 D. 影响恶劣的
3.The father doesn?t tell the true thing to his child because ______. A. he wants to make his child not feel dangerous
B. he and his child are afraid to lose each other in the war C. he doesn?t want his child to believe American soldiers

在中考英语试卷中，主观试题出现得虽然不是很普遍，但它反映了英语新课程标准的精神。与客观试题相比，主观试题更能检测出学生的真实英语水平，不少省市开始对这种题型有所涉及，且有逐渐增加之势。
主观试题通常包括以下几种命题方式：

School education is very important and useful. The students both learn knowledge and get an education. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. The scientists，such as Edison，Newton，Galileo and Einstein, didn?t learn everything from school. They learned a lot of knowledge outside school or in practice by themselves. A teacher, even he knows a lot, can?t teach his students everything. The teacher?s job is to show his students how to learn, how to read and how to think. A good teacher with rich experience in teaching can teach his students the methods(= ways)of study. Through these methods the students are able to learn and get a lot of things by themselves.
Usually it is very easy for the students to remember some knowledge, but it is very difficult to use it for problems. If a teacher really shows the students the ability of how to use knowledge, it means the teacher has learned lots of knowledge by himself (or herself). The success in learning shows he or she knows how to study.
(A)根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 1.From this passage we know ________.
A. the students are taught everything at school B. a teacher can't teach the students everything
