3.Yes, they will. 第二自然段最后说,当这种病毒袭击电脑时,会削弱其功能,破坏其正常程序,甚至会清除所有信息。所以这个问题的答案应当是肯定的。
4.Because they often attack computers on Fridays. 文中最后一段中的“… Viruses often attack computers on Friday so they are also called ?Friday Viruses?…”这句话即是答案的出处。
5.Computer Viruses. 本阅读材料是围绕“电脑病毒”展开的。第一自然段讲述的是科学家发现了电脑病毒;第二自然段主要说明了病毒的危害;第三自然段讲述了电脑病毒发作的时间和危及的国家。因此,用“电脑病毒”作标题是很恰当的。
中考英语真题透视阅读理解专项讲解(3)—判断正误式题型
Passage 1
Do you remember your dreams? Do people have the same dreams? Why do we dream? There are many questions about dreams. We dream during the REM (rapid (快的) eye movement) stage (阶段) of sleep. We have about five periods of REM sleep during the night. The first REM cycle (周期) lasts about 10 minutes. As the night goes on, the REM cycle gets longer. By early morning, the REM cycle can last up to 90 minutes. Usually, it is in this last REM cycle that we remember our dreams.
Dreams change as people age. People may have several dreams each night. Some are like films and usually in color. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something and trying to find the answer. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can?t remember the dreams clearly.
It is reported that too much dreaming is bad for our health. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work. That is why we may have a long sleep and still feel tired when we wake up.
1.We dream during the REM stage of sleep. 2.Children aged eight or nine have the same dreams as people aged thirty. 3.All the dreams are usually in color like films. 4.The longer we dream, the better we sleep. 5.The passage above is talking about dreaming. (选自2003年黑龙江省试题) 【解题思路点拨】做梦是人人都经历过的事情。本文向我们讲述了梦的五个REM周期。“日有所思,夜有所梦”。人们通常记不清楚自己梦中的情景。不过在黎明时分,即最后一个REM周期,梦中的事情往往在醒来之后仍然可以历历在目。人做梦时,神经系统尚在活动。短文最后得出结论:做梦太多有损于身体健康。
1.T.由短文第一段中的“We dream during the REM (rapid (快的) eye movement) stage (阶段) of sleep.”可以判断该句是正确的。
2.F.短文第二段首句“Dreams change as people age.”的意思是说,“梦因人的年龄不同而存在差异”。由此可知这句话是不正确的。
3.F.第二段很清楚地说明了“有些梦就像电影一样”(Some are like films …)这层意思。据此,这句话显然是错误的。
4.F.文章最后说,“睡觉的时间越多,做梦的时间就越长”,而“太多的梦对人体健康是不害的”。这句话的意思与原文背道而驰,所以是错误的。

5.T.非常明显,本文的三个自然段都是围绕着“梦”这一话题而写的。因此,这个句子是正确的。
Passage 2
Tom, an 11-year-old boy, was ill. He had got a cough. His mother was worried and took him to see a doctor. The doctor looked over Tom carefully and said, “Tom, nothing serious”. Then he gave him some medicine. These are the words on the instruction of the cough medicine.
Instruction
Take three times a day after meals
Dose (剂量): Grown-ups: 2 spoons each time Children: 8-14 yrs. One spoon, 4-7 yrs. 1/2 spoon Not for children below the age of 4 years Notes: 1.Store in a cold place 2.Using before Oct. 2004 Tel & Fax: 021-56317708
1.Tom should take three spoons in a day.
2.Tom had better have his meals before he takes the medicine. 3.The medicine can be kept in a fridge.
4.Children aged five can?t take this medicine.
5.From this instruction we know Tom can go on using the left medicine after Oct. 2004. (选自2003年新疆生产建设兵团试题) 【解题思路点拨】能读懂日常生活中的一些常见英文标志和说明,是初中学生所必须达到的一项能力。在这则咳嗽药说明书中,涉及了药品的服用量,适宜人群及贮存和使用期限等。
1.T.本题看似简单,实则需要细心推算才能判断答案。药品说明第一句话是说这种药每天服用三次。前文中说Tom是一个十一岁的孩子,根据说明中的“Children: 8-14 yrs. One spoon, 4-7 yrs. 1/2 spoon”这一句提供的信息,可知他每次只能一调羹。所以,Tom每天应当服用三调羹。
2.T.由“Take three times a day after meals”这句话,可知此药须在饭后服用,故Tom服药前最好吃些东西。
3.T.“Store in a cold place”是解题的依据。
4.F.这句话的意思是说“五岁的孩子不能服用这种药”。而说明中明明有“四至七岁的小孩每次服用1/2调羹”(4-7 yrs. 1/2 spoon)。因此,这个句子是错误的。
5.F。根据“Using before Oct. 2004”一句可知,本药品的有效期是截止到2004年10月,不难判断出所给句子是错误的。
Passage 3
Dear sir,
Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works (全集) of William Shakespeare. Your company offered this set at a low price: 15pounds and 50 pence. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare?s plays and poems for some time, so I sent for them.
Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens that I had not wanted. So I returned the Dickens? books to you. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived a second set of books and a set of the plays of Moliere, in French. I do not read French, and they were not useful at all, so I wrote to you.

You did not answer that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. I have no room for any more books, and I have no time to read them all.
Please send no more books, no more bills and no more angry letters for payment. Just send one large truck and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours, Simon Walker
1.The advertisement in the morning paper was for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare.
2.Mr Walker wanted to order Dickens? books. 3.Two weeks later, he got the works of Schiller.
4.The company wanted Simon to pay for all the books.
5.Mr. Walker told them to take away all the books except Shakespeare?s books. (选自2003年徐州市试题)
【解题思路点拨】这是一位名叫Simon Walker的读者写给某公司的一封信。Simon 半年前从这家公司邮购了一套莎士比亚全集。可当他收到书时,还发现了一套自己并没有订购的狄更斯作品,于是就退了回去。不想,几天后又收到了莎士比亚的另一套作品集以及狄更斯的作品和莫里哀的剧本。Simon 十分生气,就写信向公司说明情况。然而,Simon不但没有得到回复,反而又收到公司的账单和一套席勒的剧本。 1.T.该句出自于书信的第一句话“…I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works (全集) of William Shakespeare.”。
2.F.从信的首段可以看出,作者想邮购的书籍是莎士比亚全集。根据第二段首句的“…together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens which I had not wanted.”也可以判断出这句话是错误的。
3.F.书信第二段中说到这样一件事:Simon将狄更斯作品退还公司,可两天后收到是莎士比亚的另一套作品集,狄更斯的作品和莫里哀的剧本。这句话所述说的内容是:Simon给公司写信反映情况之后,又收到的另一套书,而不是自己订购的。
4.T.仔细理解书信倒数第二自然段中的“Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German.”这句话,显然可知这是公司在向Simon索要书款。
5.T.考虑整篇书信的内容,可知Simon只想购买莎士比亚全集,其余的书籍不是法文版,就是德文版,他看不懂,也没有时间看。实际上,仅凭书信末段也可以做出正确判断。

(1)“选择填空”式
Passage 1

www.zk5u.com 中考资源网
In the summer of 1978 an English man named Steven was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying on the ground. The flattened wheat formed(形成)a circle about six meters across . Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.
Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the same circles in one of his fields. These circles were larger—nearly 15 meters across . That same year , another English
farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land—one large circle between two small circles. During the following years, farmers in England found circles in their fields more and more often.
The circles are called “crop circles” because they usually appear in fields of wheat or corn. The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken; it keeps on growing, and the farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. What causes the crop circles?
At first, people thought that some kids were making them as a joke, or that farmers were making them to attract tourists.(In fact, in 1991, two men said they made the circles themselves, but many scientists don?t believe them.) People tried to copy them: They tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn?t do it. They couldn?t enter a field of wheat without leaving tracks, and they couldn?t flatten the wheat without breaking it.
Several times people reported seeing stranger objects near the fields where crop circles later appeared. Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space(外层空间)or the marks left by their spaceships. Scientists who have studied the crop circles try to find out what causes them. In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment(最新高科技设备). The equipment—worth 1.8 million dollars—got nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, crop circles formed in the field behind them, which were quite different from the others. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything. When Steven discovered the crop circles on his land in 1978, he said, “It was just like
something that had landed in the field from the air and gone back up again. I don?t know what to make of these things.” Crop circles have appeared in England, Japan, the United States and Russia. Experts from all over the world have studied them, and they say what Steven said: They don?t know what to make of these things. 1. Which picture is probably the one formed in the field behind the scientists? 2. “Flattened wheat” means ___________.
A. broken wheat B. lying wheat C. harvested wheat D. growing wheat 3. The passage is mainly about something ___________ . A. that is done by living things from outer space
B. that cannot be solved but found all around the world C. that cannot be made clear or understood D. that is discovered and copied by the farmers (选自2003年北京西城区试题)

【解题思路点拨】这篇阅读材料属于难度较大的拉档题,介绍了“庄稼圆圈”这个尚未揭开的世界之谜。1978年,一位名叫Steven的英国农民在麦田里发现倒伏的小麦形成的一个直径6米的大圆圈,而且在它的周围还环绕着四个小圆。后来,其它农民陆续发现类似情况,只不过圆的大小和分布不同而已。据目击者称,“庄稼圆圈”通常在6月至9月份出现,且在早上被发现。更让人感到惊讶的是,倒伏的小麦并未折断,还在继续生长。有人猜测这是外星人所为,或许是他们的飞船留下的痕迹。后来,在日本、美国和俄罗斯等国家也发现了“庄稼圆圈”。科学家们使用最新的设备进行了跟踪调查和研究,结果一无所获。
1. A。解答此题,必须依次弄清田地里留下的圆圈的形状。1978年发现的是中间有一个直径约为6米的大圆,周围分布着4个小些的圆。即如图B中的样子。三年后另一农民发现的几个直径约为15米的大圆,他们几乎差不多大,即如图D所示的那样。就在同一年,又有一个农民发现三个圆,一个大些,另两个小,大圆在小圆的中间,如图C所示。而科学家身后的圆圈与别的都不同,由此可以找到答案A。
2. B。只有真正理解短文所述的内容之后,才能判断出短语“Flattened wheat”的确切意思。实际上,文中第三自然段中“The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken; it keeps on growing, and the farmers can later harvest it.”一句已对此短语的意思有所暗示。由这几句话,可知小麦既不是折断了的,也不是在生长的,更不是已收获的小麦。
3. C。短文中提到很多人相信这是外星人所为 (Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space or the marks left by their spaceships.),但是他们并没有证据。因此A项不对。虽然很多地方都发现过“庄稼圆圈”,但并不是在全世界都有,短文中列举了三个国家。故B项不对。短文中提到有的农民声称是他们干的,但也予以了否定。由此,C项是最佳答案。通盘考虑全篇的意思,人们不懂得为什么麦田里会出现这种现象,科学家们也没有弄清原因。短文的最后一段说的也是这个意思。
Passage 2 Winter is dangerous because it?s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting (融化) snow, waiting ahead (前面) to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road. Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly (平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn?t spill (溅) it.
Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all time and you will not get into trouble.
1.The writer tries to _____ in this passage. A. show his dislikes about bad winter weather A.give information about winter weather B.ask people not to drive in winter
C.advise people about safe driving in winter 2.People can _____ after reading this passage. A. find out about the weather
B.get some information on driving lessons
