一、解题策略指导
阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是:
1.读材料的主旨和大意,以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。
2.既理解具体的事实,也理解抽象的概念。
3.既理解字面的意思,也理解深层次的含义,包括作者的态度,意图等。
4.既理解某句,某段的含义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并据此进行推理和判断。
5.既能根据所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。
中考英语阅读理解题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力,包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评价能力等。
  试题中所选的阅读文章题材多样化,涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面。(这要求学生平时对各方面的知识都有所积累,做个有心人)体裁多样化,包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格(要求学生能看懂这类阅读材料尤其是时下出题的趋势)等各种文体。它要求考生阅读理解准确度高、阅读速度快。
  大致来说,主要针对如下方面:1.文章的个别词或句子,可以给出生词让学生猜意,对此类题目学生应尽量在阅读材料中找定义或解释;2.文章的某细节或情节;3.文章的主题;4.文章的背景知识;5.文章的结论或结局;6.文章内涵的隐义或寓意等。主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力,包括阅读、理解、归纳概括、逻辑推理以及对材料的评估能力等。
  具体来讲主要有以下几种题型:
  具体信息:这种题目比较简单,只要通读全文,了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节,就可以解答出来,有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。
  语义理解:题目要求对文中个别难词、关键词、词组或句子作出解释。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。
  逻辑推理:这种题目有一定难度,往往不能直接从文中找到答案,而必须根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后,才能找到答案。有时甚至还得联系作者的意图、态度等弦外之音、文外之意加以推理,才能获得正确答案。
归纳概括:要求在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章作出归纳、概括或评价。解这种题目时,不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义,比如涉及文章的标题(title)、主题(main idea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(end)等有关问题,都需要在细读全文的基础上,结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识、专业知识进行逻辑思维推理判断,从而获取文章中内隐的信息。
词意判断:要求根据上下文判断短文中词或短语的意思。
在阅读过程中要重视培养自我阅读能力,根据不同的阅读目的和要求,采取不同的阅读方法和策略。
提高阅读能力所常用的阅读技巧主要有细读、略读、全读等。
扫读:是一种快速阅读方法,主要在于对文章信息的精确定位,锁定重要信息,如找出人物、时间、地点、数字等。
略读:也是一种快速阅读,目的是读取文章的主旨大意。与扫读不同的是,略读是跳跃式的,略掉一些东西不读,取出短文中的关键性东西。
细读:细读是完全阅读,目的包括(1)确定中心思想及标题;(2)了解用以阐述中心思想的事实及细节;(3)对作者的暗示或隐含思想进行判断、推理、引申;(4)根据上下文推测词义。12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637
扩大视距:要以意群为单位,注重对整句话的理解,扩大注视空间。
带问题阅读:先浏览短文后面的题目,做到心中有数,带着目的去阅读,以提高阅读实效。
根据上下文猜测词意:遇到生词,要根据上下文线索和暗示、上下文的联系、常识和经验推断或猜测词意。
二、范例解析引路
例一:
one day, a doctor was looking over the eyesight of the young men who were ready to join the army. by jeff’s turn the doctor pointed to the eye chart(图表)on the wall and said, “please read the top line, young man.”
“the top line of what?”
“the top line of the chart.”
“what chart?”
“the one on the wall.”
“where’s the wall?” jeff asked. at last the doctor thought the young man’s eyesight was too poor. he couldn’t join the army.
 that evening the same young man was at the cinema when another man came and sat next to him. when the film was over and the lights went on, the young man found that it was the doctor who sat next to him. at once he said to the doctor, “excuse me, madam, but does this bus go to the museum street?”
judge the following sentences true (t) or false (f).
1. the young man hoped to be a soldier.
2. at first the doctor believed what the young man had said.
3. the young man’s eyesight was really weak.
答案
1—3  ftf
解析
本题属于阅读理解正误判断题。从文章的选材来看,是一篇故事性的短文。内容大意是描写一个叫jeff的年青人,他不想去服兵役,在体检时假装自己的视力不好而去欺骗医生。医生相信了他,因此他不能去参军。而晚上在电影院时,jeff碰巧又遇到了医生。jeff非常聪明,又用一句谎言而蒙混过关。此阅读材料共设三道小题:
第一小题题干的意思是说这个年青人想当兵。文章中没有一句话直接告诉考生这句话的答案是不对的,但从整个短文的意思来看,他是不喜欢参军的,否则他也不能假装视力不好。这道题属于推理判断题。
第二道小题,题干的意思是说医生开始的时候相信了年青人的话。这道题属于语义理解性题目,在短文中第六段中“at last the doctor thought the young man’s eyesight was too poor.”这句话中可以看出答案是正确的。
第三道小题意思是说这个年青人的视力真的不好。这道题的设题上属于逻辑推理性题目,因为从文章的最后一段可知,他视力如果不好,就不可能去看电影,也不可能认出医生来。本道题是阅读理解中的第一篇,故事情节幽默,句子简单易懂。难度不大,旨在缓和考生面对中考时的紧张情绪。考生在答题中先读懂短文,理解短文的大意和脉络,然后依据短文内容对试题后给出的句子进行是非判断。同进,对每一道题进行判断时,应从文章的具体段落和句子中找到判断的依据,不能凭印象想当然。对有些似是而非的句子,一定要认真识别,只有完全符合文章意思的方可判定为正确。
例二:
people all over the world eat rice. millions of people in asia, africa, and south america live on it. some people eat almost nothing but rice. rice is a kind of grass. there are more than 7,000 kinds of rice. most kinds are water plants. farmers grow rice in many countries, even in the south of the united states and in eastern australia.12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637
china is the world’s largest rice-growing country. in XX, china grew 166 million tons of rice. but it is not easy to feed the world’s largest population. in the 1960s, thousands of chinese died because they didn’t have enough food to eat. in the 1970s, yuan longping, a chinese scientist, grew a kind of rice called hybrid(杂交) rice. it makes 20% more rice than any other kind. hybrid rice is a stronger plant, unlike ordinary rice. it can grow in lots of water or in not much water. it doesn’t easily get diseases or worms.
 today, half of china’s rice plants are yuan’s special hybrid rice. china uses yuan’s hybrid rice to grow much more rice than before. yuan is known as the father of hybrid rice. he won the world food prize for his work to help feed so many people.
choose the best choice from abc or d according to the passage above.
1. rice is grown ______ in the world.
a. in lots of countries    b. for humans and animals
c. only on wet land     d. by chinese farmers
2. china _____ in the world.
a. offers the best rice to people  b. harvests the most rice
c. has the largest farmland   d. is short of rice
3. yuan longping’s hybrid rice ______.

c. can grow without water   d. can make more rice than the others
4. the chinese scientist, yuan longping, is famous for ______.
a. the father of rice    b. his rice to feed all chinese
c. his hybrid rice     d. growing different kinds of rice
答案
1—4 abdc
解析
本题属于阅读理解选择题,是中考阅读理解最常见的题型。本文是一篇科普性的文章,通过介绍我国科学家袁隆平及他所培育的杂交水稻,以及他在自己平凡的工作岗位上为国家做出的杰出贡献,向学生渗透热爱科学的理念,培养学生脚踏实地,认真做事、做学问的求实精神。
第一道小题的设题属于语义理解性题目,在世界的什么地方可以种植水稻,从文章中的第一段中“farmers grow rice in many countries”,只有答案a中用的“lots of”这个词,many与lots of是同义词,因此从这句话可以选出答案a是正确的。
第二道小题也属于语义理解性题目,从第二段的第一句话“china is the world’s largest rice-growing country.”可以推断出答案b是正确的。
第三道小题属于直接理解性题目,从第二段中的“it makes 20% more rice than any other kind.”可以选出答案d是正确的。
第四道小题属于归纳概括性题目,需认真阅读全文,仔细推敲每个答案:答案a具有片面性,文章中说他是the father of hybrid rice而不是the father of rice;答案b 的题干是his rice to feed all chinese,而在文章中说half of china’s rice plants are yuan’s special hybrid rice,此答案明显是不正确的;答案c是正确的;答案d的题干是growing different kinds of rice,而从文章中可以得知yuan longping只是种植杂交水稻。答题时考生要在正确理解短文内容的基础上,认真看清短文后的题目内容和要求,然后根据短文内容,运用分析、排除等方法选择正确答案。对短文中没有直接说明又无法从短文所提供的材料上明确做出判断的,就要在理解字面意思的基础上进行深入分析、推理,或联想短文材料以外的常识加以考虑,从而推断出正确答案。12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637

答案
1. they can see films four times a month. / four times.
2. all the people.
3. twice. / the students cook chinese food twice a month.
4. film night, cooking night, fun night and china night.
解析
 本题属于阅读理解回答问题题。文章的题材是考生熟悉的校园生活的短文,是有关学生的课外活动,共涉及了四个活动的名称,介绍了活动相关的时间、内容和参加人员等等。      第一道小题,问的是每个月学生们多长时间看一次电影,属于考查细节。从文章中的第二段中的第一句话“every week there is a film night of popular chinese and english films.”可以看出是每周看一次电影,而一个月通常是四周,因此答案应是four times。 
第二道小题,问的是谁能参加中国书法课?属于语义理解性题目,通过对文章中的第三段的“these are open to the whole city.”这句话的理解,可以知道此小题目的答案应是all the people。
第三道小题,问的是学生一个月做几次中国食品。此题的设题同第一小题是相同的,也属于考查细节性题目。从第二段中的“every two weeks”中可以知道每两周一次,那么一个月就应该是两次,因此正确答案应是twice。
第四道小题,问题是学校有哪些活动?此题属于归纳概括性题目,需在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章做出归纳,共有四个,分别是film night, cooking night, fun night and china night。考生在答此类试题时,首先弄清楚问的是什么信息(what, when, where, why, how等);然后再根据对文章的理解和把握组织自己的语言,写出正确答案。可以用完整的回答方式,如(they can see films four times a month.),也可用简短的回答方式,如(four times.)。此道题考查了学生的综合概括能力和处理信息的能力。12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637

4. adults can’t go to the music festival for young ______ ______.
答案
1. rainy, umbrella     2. held, sunday

解析
本题属于阅读理解填空题。所选文章的体裁是实用文体,有图表、广告、海报等形式,图文并茂,所涉及的内容有球赛、天气预报、音乐会和图书馆书目、音像简介等,具有时代感强、实用性强、可读性强的特点,贴近学生的日常生活。
第一道小题设题是有关天气的,第一个空问的是在in east coasts的天气是什么样的?属于考查细节性题目,从文章中的“east coasts will have rain.”此句话中可以得知,应是下雨的天气,而设题是“it will be______”,应用形容词来形容天气,因此可以得知答案应是rainy;第二空设题属于逻辑推理性题目,you’d better take an ______ with you.在文章中不能直接找到此题的答案,但是根据对文章意思的理解和推断,下雨就应该带伞了,因此答案应是umbrella。
第二道小题是有关足球比赛的,第一空是考查学生对题干的理解,the football match will be ______ in jinzhou stadium,根据句意应填“举行”这一词,答案为held;而第二空on ______,此空明显是填相关日期的,属于直接理解性题目,从文章来看,可以填日期,也可填星期,但题目要求只能填一词,因此只能填星期sunday。
第三道小题是有关图书馆书目的,第一空问的是每次借书的数量,属于语义理解性题目,从文章中borrow five books at most at one time这句话中可以得知每次最多是借五本,而设题you can’t borrow ______ five books each time,当然是不能超过五本了,“超过”这一词应是over。第二空问的是看录像应该怎么样,从文章中的最后一句keep a video for a week for 1 dollar和设题you should ______ for watching videos可以得知是应该付费的,与for搭配的动词是pay。
第四小题是有关音乐节的,设题是adults can’t go to the music festival for young ______ ______. 从文中“music for young listeners”和“each adult must come with a child.”这两句话中可以得知,年青人必须和父母一起来,因此答案第一空应为listeners, 第二空应为alone / themselves,属于考查细节性题目。考生在解此类题时先认真阅读所给的短文、图表或广告,掌握其内容后,再细读所给待补全的句子。解题时,可带着问题到原文中去寻找答案,寻读原文中与之相关的句子。先确定空格处所填词的词义,然后再判定其词形。解这类题时,应注意信息转换,同义句改写等。

1. small children don’t understand that hot water and hot drinks can be dangerous. we often forget the dangers ourselves. yet it only takes a cup of hot tea or coffee or a bath that’s too hot to scald a child badly. a severe(严重的) scald can mean a long stay in hospital, and a really severe scald can kill.12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637
2. children of all ages fall and hurt themselves from time to time. luckily most falls aren’t serious, but some can cause severe injuries, such as head injuries.
for babies, the danger is rolling off the edge of something like a bed, chair, table or kitchen worktop.
toddlers(初学走路的孩子) soon learn to climb and explore. to them, climbing on furniture(家具) doesn’t seem dangerous. it’s just fun. but it is very easy for a toddler to fall off a piece of furniture, or down the stairs, or even out of a window or off a balcony.
with older children, adventure (冒险) accidents are a problem. climbing trees, high walls, or fences can be dangerous.
3. every year children die in house fires and many more are badly burnt. a cigarette, for example, can easily start a fire. and many fires are started by children playing with matches.

5. glass causes the most serious cuts. few people realize just how serious glass cuts are. yet every year about 7,000 children end up in hospital because of accidents with glass. these are not only accidents with things like broken bottles. more often the children have fallen through a glass door or window and are badly hurt.

b. fires
c. scalds
d. drowning

inventions arrive every day. when people invent great new things, we get ideas about the future.
what will the future be like? it’s possible that we may often fly up into space! out of all the coolest inventions of the year, space ship one is thought to be the best.
space ship one is a 6-metre-long white spaceship. on june 21, XX, american pilot mike mclville flew it to space and back-about 100 kilomtres up into the sky.
some might say it’s not a big deal. you know, people went to the moon years ago.
well, space ship one is special because it is the first spaceship that wasn’t made by the government(政府). it was built and sent up by a private(私人的) us company.
lots of people went to travel in space. but it’s too expensive. american millionaire(百万富翁) dennis tito paid almost us $20 million to become the first space tourist to visit the international space station in XX.
so private companies began to think of making their own spaceship to take other tourists up into space.
the success of space ship one is a good start.
“the flight opens a new page in history, putting space within the reach of ordinary people,” said patti smith, an official at us federal aviation administration(联邦航空管理局).
in the next 10 to 15 years, if you pay $20,000 to $100,000 you could fly high above the earth.
what about having your own spaceship in your garage(车库) and taking it to space at the weekend.
1. of all the coolest inventions from which people can get ideas about the future of the year, space ship one was chosen as the best one.
2. from the passage, we know that only few people have the right to build the spaceship.
3. if you want to fly to the international space station, you’d better keep healthy and eat more food.
4. people would know things well about the space since 1960.
5. the successful flight of space ship one opens a new page in history, because it puts space near to the ordinary people.

country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the united states today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events - love, sadness, good times and bad times. it tells real-life stories and sounds in the way people really talk. as life becomes hard for us, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
    country music, sometimes called country-western music, comes from two kinds of music. one is the traditional music of the people in the appalachian mountains in the eastern united states. the other is traditional cowboy music from the west. the singers usually play the guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
    at first city people said country music was low class. it was popular mostly in the south. but during world war ii, thousands of southerners went to the northeast and midwest to work in the factories. they took their music with them. soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the south. they learned country music. slowly it became popular all over the country.
    today country music is also popular everywhere in the united states and canada, in small towns and among towns and in new york city, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. about 1200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. english stars sing it in british english, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. the music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637

for most americans, life without a car is hard to imagine. however, society has realized the serious air pollution problem caused by cars. the polluted air becomes poisonous(有毒的) to our health.
one way to get rid of(摆脱) the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. that’s what several large companies have been trying to do. but to build a clean car is easier said than done. progress is this field has been slow.
    another way is to replace the car engine(发动机) with something. now inventors are working on steam(蒸汽) cars as well as electric cars. many car makers believe that it will take years to develop a useful model that pleases people.
    to prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we make some changes in the way we live. americans, for example, have to reduce(减少) the number of their total cars. they should be encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle.
    but this change does not come easily. a large number of workers might find themselves without jobs if a car factory is closed. thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业).
    although cars have led(引导) us to better lives, they have also brought us new problems.
1. a car is very important for most americans.
2. building a clean car is not difficult.
3. one way to get rid of the polluted air is to replace the car engine.

    two days later, another man was having supper with him at his house. “why do you call cat cloud? the wind blows away the cloud without difficulty.” so the man changed its name again. it was then called wind.
    but a week had not passed when his neighbor noticed this quite beautiful cat. he said, “wind seems to be the worst name. even a wall can stop the wind. wall seems to be better.” so the cat was called wall. but a teacher said that a wall was not stronger than a mouse. the man had to change the name again. just then the man"s son came in. “mouse!” he shouted. “what a foolish name! i know something much stronger than a mouse. everyone knows that a cat catches the mouse and eats it. a cat is stronger than a mouse,” said the boy. this time the man saw his mistake. he changed its name back to cat again.12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637

these two letters appeared in a newspaper. both writers have their own ideas on zoos.

zoos do a good job
it is good to keep animals in zoos. i know a lot people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. however, i believe that zoos have many good points. 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637
firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.
secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. the animals are always given food and cleaned regularly(定期). in the wild(荒野), it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. but animals kept in zoos never go hungry.
thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. they offer them safe places to live in. in the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝). but zoos give these animals a chance to live. without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.
                                             maria smith

zoos are unnatural
in maria’s letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. i am afraid that zoos are not good for animals, and they are only good for people.
it is unnatural(非自然的) and unfair(不公平的) to keep wild animals in cages that are too small for them. in the wild, these animals would travel freely. in zoos, they can’t do this. this is why the bears and tigers look so sad.
most cages are not very clean either. it is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. wild animals are used to looking for their own food. we should treat(对待) animals in the same way that we treat other people-with respect(尊重).
would anyone be happy if you don’t let him go outside his home? would maria like to have lots of people standing outside her house looking at her? no, she wouldn’t. any animals don’t like it either.
                                                  philip black
1. maria and philip have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos.
2. in maria’s opinion(观点), a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos.
3. maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild.
4. according to philip, if cages are big and clean enough, tigers and bears will look happy.
5. maria and philip are discussing how to make animals in zoos happy. 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637

for many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. now they have found something new-hot cities! in the southern us, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. for example, the city of atlanta in georgia has rooftop temperatures of up to 50 degrees while it is 27 degrees in the streets! at night, the outsides of the building stay so hot that the heat of the city causes storm over the city.
   china also has the same kind of problems. every year more farming land is used for factories or offices. more housing is needed, too. as people become richer, they buy more cars. now roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. this all makes the city hotter.
   it is not easy to change the situation. city planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. trees make the temperatures lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. also we should paint our roofs white. if we do this, they do not become so hot. every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar roof panels. the electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners in the building.
   people continue to cut down forests around the cities. this makes the problem worse. cities are growing faster and faster. by the year 2025, 80% of the world’s population will be living in cities. if we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world.

 to master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write. lenin and his wife krupskaya translated a long english book into russian. but when they went to england in 1902, english people couldn’t understand a word they said and they couldn’t understand what was said to them. these days more and more foreigners are coming to china and more chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study. so the spoken language is becoming more and more important.
 speaking, of course, can’t go without listening. if you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly. thy sounds of the chinese and english languages are not exactly the same. if you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
 well, what about writing? like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas. people generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing. the important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language.
chinese students read far too slowly. if you read fast, you understand better. if you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. when you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary. guess the meaning from the context. you may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer. if you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book.
 students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they are studying. they should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation. in this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.

 one explanation comes from a christian man whose name was something like“valentine”. he lived at a time when the roman emperor refused to allow any roman soldiers to get married for any reason. many couples came to valentine to be married. so he would secretly marry them in a christian ceremony. he was discovered and put in prison by the emperor. one tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. the leaves were shaped like a heart. valentine was killed on february 14th and valentine’s day recalls his tragic death.
 on valentine’s day, american elementary school children make or buy valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special valentine’s day box. and then on that day the box is opened, the cards are taken out and given out.

 many people go to school for an education. they learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. school education is very important and useful. yet, no one can learn everything from school. a teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. the teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. he teaches them how to read and how to think. so, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
 it is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. 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. great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school. their teachers only showed them the way. edison didn’t 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.

the customs in different countries are rather different. if i have dinner with a chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as i have emptied them. it often discomforts me greatly. i have to eat the food even if i don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one’s food on the plate. i have already noticed that when a chinese sits at an american’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. this might be good manners in china, but it is not in the west at all. in the us it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on him accepting something. americans have a direct way of speaking. if they want something, they will ask for it. if not, they will say “no, thanks”. when an american is fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “no, thanks, i’ll take some diet. pepsy–cola if you have it.” that is what an american will do. so when you go to the us, you had better remember the famous saying, “when in rome, do as the romans do”.

 when we can see well, we don’t think about our eyes very often. it is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
 people who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
 people who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. they can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. if they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
 other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. this, too, can be corrected by glasses. some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障). long ago these people often became blind. now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
 when night falls, colours become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. after your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. sometimes, after dark, you can see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. this is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. when they turn to look straight at it, they can’t see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. however, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.

a. we think about our eyes b. we cannot see clearly

trees are useful to men in three important ways: they provide them with wood and other products (产品), they give them shade (树荫), and they help to prevent drought and floods.
unfortunately,  in many parts of the world, men have not realized (功能) is the most important. in their eagerness (渴望) to make money form trees, some people have cut trees down in large numbers, only to find that without them they have lost the best friends they had. and besides (此外), they are usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, so the forests slowly disappear.
this doesn’t only mean that men will have fewer trees. the results are even more serious: where there are trees, their roots (根) break up soil—allowing the rain to sink in and also bind (固定) the soil, thus (因而) preventing it from being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the rain falls and carrying away the rich top—soil. when all the top—soil is gone, nothing remains (剩下) but worthless desert.12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637

in the time it takes you to read this sentence, the population of the world will have grown by ten people. that may not sound much, but it is 9,000 people in an hour, 1.5 million a week, or 79 million a year. that is the same as adding most of the population of germany to the world every year.
   most of these new people were born in developing countries. these countries are found in much of africa, south america and parts of asia. in the developed countries of europe and north america, the population is growing very slowly. this is because women in these countries have, on average, only one or two children. in the developing countries, many women have five or more children. in 1950, around one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. by 2050, these countries will be home to only around one tenth of the world’s people.
   in the developing countries, more than one billion people already live below the poverty (贫困) line. these people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing; children get little or no time at school and people suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.
   at the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s population was around six billion people. the un has said that the world’s population will level off at 12.5 billion people by the year 2100. other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion people before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls.12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637

many people don’t like to stay at home on holidays. they want to go out to see something different or do something exciting. so people from the country come to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays. during the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. it’s very hard to buy train tickets or air tickets. many people take cars or buses for traveling.
last may day, my family went to the country by car for our holiday. there was too much traffic on the road. so we had to move very slowly. it took us about an hour to get out of the town. after some time, we came to a hill. it was green and beautiful. we thought this was a good place for a picnic. so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drink out of the car. we sat down and began to eat. suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. we had to run back to our car and have our picnic in the car. then we drove back home. what a sad trip!
