中考英語閱讀理解逸聞趣事類

【命題特點(diǎn)分析】

逸聞趣事是中考英語閱讀理解重要題材，它以幽默風(fēng)趣、夸張滑稽的手法向讀者介紹既令人發(fā)笑又發(fā)人深省的故事，以調(diào)節(jié)人們的生活，緩解人們的緊張心理， 進(jìn)而成為人們生活中不可或缺的調(diào)料。因?yàn)橐萋勅な戮哂泻軓?qiáng)的幽默性和趣味性，其文筆又輕松形象，因此頗受讀者歡迎，成為中考英語閱讀理解主要題材之一。逸聞趣事語言幽默風(fēng)趣，通俗易懂，主體內(nèi)容理解難度不大，然而幽默性語句的理解難度較大，因?yàn)橛哪哉Z句的背后往往隱含著深刻的人生哲理和主人公特定的情感態(tài)度。

逸聞趣事常設(shè)置下列題型：

1. 作者意圖判斷題

這種試題常以The writers purpose in writing this story is.或The writer tells this story. 或What is the best title of the passage？為設(shè)問方式，其答案往往為to tell an interesting experience或An unusual experience。解題時(shí)應(yīng)明確逸聞趣事的最大特點(diǎn)在于用趣味性故事給人們的生活增添樂趣。

2. 幽默性語句理解判斷題

大多逸聞趣事都有一兩句幽默性語句點(diǎn)明全文主題，成為全文中心句，對(duì)這種語句的正確理解是對(duì)全文理解的最好體現(xiàn)，因此逸聞趣事閱讀理解材料常出現(xiàn)幽默性語句理解判斷題，這種試題常以When…said “…”，what…meant was.或The man said “…” to.為設(shè)問方式。解題時(shí)應(yīng)認(rèn)真閱讀并分析原文對(duì)說話人動(dòng)作、心理和其他內(nèi)容的描繪，再結(jié)合幽默性語句的字面含義，經(jīng)過邏輯推理正確推斷幽默性語句的含義。

3. 人物性格判斷題

這種試題往往以He was a very. 或What kind of man would you say the man was？或What is the character of the man？為設(shè)問方式考查對(duì)人物性格的判斷，答案往往為proud and interesting man或He is a funny man.或He is a humourous man.解題時(shí)應(yīng)明確語言幽默的人往往是有幽默感、比較自信和自豪的人。

4. 幽默性語句反應(yīng)判斷題

這種試題往往以Which of the following is the most likely answer of the…？或What will the…answer？或The answer of the…will be.為設(shè)問方式考查對(duì)幽默性語句的正確反應(yīng)。解題時(shí)應(yīng)首先理解幽默性語句的真正含義，并結(jié)合原文理解各人物之間的相互關(guān)系，從而準(zhǔn)確推斷幽默性語句正確回答用語。

5. 后續(xù)內(nèi)容推測(cè)題

逸聞趣事往往令人發(fā)笑、發(fā)人深省，文章結(jié)束時(shí)還讓讀者有余音繞梁、不絕于耳的感覺，因此逸聞趣事閱讀理解常出現(xiàn)對(duì)文章后續(xù)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行推測(cè)的試題。這種試題常以Which of thefollowing might have happened afterwards？或What will happen at the end of the story？或What will happen later？為設(shè)問方式考查對(duì)文章后續(xù)內(nèi)容的推測(cè)。解題時(shí)應(yīng)認(rèn)真分析理解原文內(nèi)容，從人物動(dòng)作、語言及相互關(guān)系中合理推測(cè)文末將要發(fā)生之事。

Two months ago， I went to Australia for a meeting with my workmate， Chris. We decided to drive across the country to Brisbane after the meeting ended. The drive was going to take four days and most of it was across the desert[沙漠].

One night I was sitting in my room half listening as my 15 years old brother Tommy fought with my 12 years old brother Kevin. I didnt pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.

About 20 minutes later， as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and a sked， “Hey Kevin， do you want to talk？”

No answer.

I tried again， “Why dont you come out of there？”

Again， no answer.

So， joking around， I grabbed astack of[一摞] cards and a pencil and wrote， “If you dont want to talk， we can write notes to each other.”

An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevins notes， tears came to my eyes. It said， “Nobody in this family cares about me. Im not the youngest， and Im not the oldest. Tommy thinks Im silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because hes better at basketball. And youre never around to even notice me.”

Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin， I really do love you and Im sorry I dont always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”

There was no answer for a while， but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin， who had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup， “Thanks.”

I wrote back“For what？” It returned to me with “Loving me.” on it.
