一. 阅读理解阅读理解：在中考中占的比重很大。

阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能。

包括对书面语言的识别、理解、推理、判断和快速记忆等几个方面。

不仅仅涉及到语音、语法、词汇这些语言因素、还涉及到非语言因素，即：阅读者对所学语言国家的社会和文化背景知识的掌握、对所读材料内容的熟悉、个人经历、生活常识、逻辑知识和语言修养等各方面。

阅读技巧之一是阅读时要扩大视距。

二是不要心读或朗读；三是要理解段落或文章的细节。

四是要学会猜测词义，五要理解中心思想。

六要具备合理推理和判断的能力。

初中阶段阅读题重点考查的内容是事实认定、词语理解、数量计算，主要思想归纳等。

而从考查方式来看，则以直接型、转换型和归纳型的试题为主，需要依据文章事实和作者思路进行推理的题次之。

文章主旨和大意的考查。

这类试题主要是考查对文章的理解程度，考查内容包括作者的写作目的，文章的中心思想等内容。

考生只有读懂全文，才能选出正确答案。

细节和事实的考查。

做此类试题一定要抓住事件发生的时间、地点、人物、发展过程和结局等环节，所选答案一定要符合原文，切不可望文生义。

词义或句义的考查。

这些词句往往具有深层意义，要透过表层意义来理解深层意义，或根据句子的语法关系分析其含义，要反复琢磨，仔细推敲，弄清作者的真正意图，从而选择正确答案。

遇到生词，要根据上下文和一定的构词法知识，如前缀、后缀来分析、判断、猜测其词形和含义。

结论或推论性考查。

这类考题答案的选择往往无所谓正确与错误之别，而是最佳与非最佳之别。

因此，须读懂通篇文章，弄懂作者的写作要旨，按照文章的内容和逻辑关系，做出符合原文逻辑或主旨的结论或推论，才能选出最佳答案。

拟选题目考查。

一篇文章究竟应加一个什么样的题目为最佳，主要取决于文章的内容，英语文章标题的特点一般多以短语或简单句为主。

选择标题的一般标准是：一要切题，即能够概括出全文的主旨；二要简洁，即文字要简单明了。

阅读理解题型介绍：1. 选择答案型阅读理解2. 判断正误型阅读理解3. 完成句子型阅读理解4. 回答问题型阅读理解阅读理解解题指导：1. 客观信息题所谓"客观信息"，是指在短文中客观存在的事实，客观信息的答案一般都可以在原文中找到。

2014年中考英语复习：阅读理解练习含答案（20篇）初三英语阅读理解20练1.The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Scottie of San-Francisco. Once he flew from the U.S. to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane made one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. As he thought he had arrived home. Mr. Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome. When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Scottie thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr. Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr. Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hour’s traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian. Mr. Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so. To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens (警报) on. “Look,” said Scottie to his interpreter (翻译), “I know I’m in Italy. That’s how they drive.”1. When Mr. Scottie arrived at the airport, nobody met him because _______.A. he was in New YorkB. he was not in RomeC. policeman could help himD. both A and B2. In what direction did the plane fly when Mr. Scottie went to Italy from the U.S.?A. To the eastB. To the southC. To the westD. To the north3. Why was Mr. Scottie so sure that he was in Rome?A.

Few people make this kind of mistakeD. 50% of people will make the same mistakeKey: 1-5 DAABC2.“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her stude nts to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.6. We know that the word “cool” has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning7. In the passage, the word “express” means “____________.”A. seeB. showC. knowD. feel8.

The programme at the end of Channel 2 means _______ on TV next week.A. newsB. programmesC. peopleD. placesKey:11-15 BCBDB,4.Our sun is a star, and nine worlds (天体) move round it. Worlds like these are planets. But there are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. but we haven’t been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don’t have any light of their own. So we can’t see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard’s Star is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard’s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.16. A star is a large body in the universe.

They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.The game began.
