2013中考英语三轮复习--中考阅读理解语义理解性题目解题方法及练习语义理解性题目：题目要求对文中个别单词、关键词、词组或句子做出解释。

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。

对于这类题目我们可以用下面的解题方法来解答：（1）快速阅读文章后的4~5道题目，并将题目中的关键词（一般为实词，含有重要信息）用笔划下来。

这样做的目的有两个：一是获得将要阅读的文章的大概意思，二是为解题做好准备。

（2）快速阅读原文。

一边阅读一边划出文章中的含有重要信息的词、短语或句子。

如果将文章中的重要信息都划出来了，到第三步解题时寻找所需信息就容易了。

这比盲目地寻找方便得多。

（3）根据文章中所阐述的事实细节和上下文的暗示与线索进行综合分析，然后做出推断预测或得出合情合理的结论。

因此，考生必须细读全文，不仅要懂得文章的表层意义，还要理解深层的内含；不仅要掌握作者的观点倾向，还要获取字里行间隐含的信息。

但同时必须提醒考生的是切忌无根无据地随意猜想或推理，把白的东西说成是黑的，把自己的观点当作是作者的。

也就是说你所做的每一个推断或引申都应该是合情合理的，具有充分依据的。

Passage 1We‟ve talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don‟t move at all. They are in their shells (壳) —sleeping.Hot sun will dry out a snail‟s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (触角), are very weak. But its sense (感觉) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.A snail‟s mouth is no bigg er than the point of a pin (大头针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can‟t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.1.A snail _________.A. moves more slowly at nightB. has thousands of feetC. doesn‟t move at allD. sleeps much of the time2.In the sentence “A snail draws its body into its shell”, the word “draw” means _____.A. to make with a pencilB. to pushC. to pullD. to move away3.From the story, we know _________.A. a snail‟s shell is very thinB. a snail can‟t see wellC. a snail‟s nose is quite shortD. a snail‟s body changes in different seasons4.A snail goes to sleep when _____.A. it feels hungryB. it is put into a paper boxC. spring is comingD. it rains heavily5.Which of the following is wrong?A. In winter the snail doesn‟t eat or move.B.A snail doesn‟t like living under the sun.C.The snail‟s teeth can‟t be worn out.D.The snail‟s nose helps to find food.【答案与解析】这篇短文向我们介绍了蜗牛的生活习性。

This passage is mainly about ―________‖.A. How to use ComputersB. Surfing on the InternetC. Information on the InternetD. Internet Safety Rules Key: D B C C DDo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you‘ll find the main use of colori ng is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). T his is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.()1.From the passage we learn that locusts________.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colors to protect themselves()2.How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A.

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney‘s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash‘s voice, he said ‖Stop! That‘s our duck!‖The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey‘s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn‘t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, ‗ 40s and ‗ 50s Dona ld and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.

It‘s a monster!‖ They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.―When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the ri ght size and have hair and teeth,‖ the king said, ―If you don‘t do this, you‘ll have a beating.‖The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king‘s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. ―Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,‖ he said, ―but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.‖At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth.

He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.One day a student asked him, ― My dear teacher, didn‘t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.‖With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , ―Of course, I have learned much more. But it‘s wron g to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown.

It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. G reat scientists before us didn‘t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain.()1.

But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency, with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.()1. Which is true?A. We are not sure how people started to use fire.B. It is an Australian who started a fire.C. We know how people began to use fire.D. Nobody knows how to make a fire.()2.

Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at special time. The qu es tion is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one experiment, flowers were kept in constant (持续的）darkness. We might expect that the flowers ,without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. In fact, they continue to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some special ways of knowing the time. Their sense(感觉) time does not depend on information from the outside world. It is inside them: a kind of"inner (内部的）clock". This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it is later found that not just plants but animals have this "inner clock" which control（控制）the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Human beings, then, are also influenced by it. Whether we wish or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep or need for food.( )1.

That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises. 1.

Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote. The bank’s computer did what he said. And it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the computer broke down. People had to do the computer’s work. They soon found out what was happening.Another thief, who worked for a bank saw people filling in deposit forms (存款单). Many of these people did not know their account numbers, so they wrote only their names on the forms. They left empty places for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account number in this place. When the computer read these forms it looked only at the account numbers. It did not look at the customers’ names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief’s account.Then there was the bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents (美分) off every customer’s account each month and put it into his own account. For a long time the bank’s customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every month. But then someone did notice and told the bank.

As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father. The gap between us began to grow.

I realized that I had ignored (忽略)him a lot during the last few years.The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended that I couldn’t hear him. At last he bro ught a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream.” I got so angry with him for interrupting my sleep that I shouted, “Leave me alone.”As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor. Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “Who else treats you as well as he does?”I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. Finally I rushed with tear all over my face.I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with daddy. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy’s motorbike. He was looking for me anxiously, but he didn’t notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush.I didn’t return home until 10 a.m. The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me.
