专题03 阅读理解-【题型易-必考题型精练】2026-2027学年人教版英语八年级上册 期中考考前梯度特训

考前特训 专题03 阅读理解 期中考满分冲刺（广东专用） 姓名：___________班级：___________座号：___________ 内容提要 题型分析 解题指导 集中突破 一、题型定位 “阅读理解”是期中考英语试卷中分值最高、篇幅最大的板块，考查的是“从书面材料中获取信息、理解大意、进行简单推断”的能力。它不考背单词，考的是三件事：能不能快速定位信息、能不能读懂稍长的句子、能不能从字里行间推出作者没有直说的意思。 二、命题形式与题量 以“短文 + 5 道选择题”的形式呈现，每小题 A、B、C、D 四个选项；本次特训共 8 篇、40 题，正文词数在 139–251 词之间。体裁覆盖应用文（旅行线路广告、网页帖文）、说明文（国花之争、蜜蜂识数实验、中英学生对比调查）与记叙文（帮妈妈洗衣服闹出的笑话），其中 3 篇正文以表格或网页形式呈现，需要先读表、读版式，再做题。 三、核心考点分布（基于本次特训 40 题梳理） 通过逐题梳理本次特训的 40 道题，考点集中在以下七类： （1）细节理解题（19 题，约占 48%）：答案直接在原文中给出或稍作改写，如 Trip 2 观光要带 digital camera、Helen 假期 ate food、蜜蜂经训练能区分奇偶。做题关键是“定位—比对—排除”三步。 （2）推理判断题（含 TRUE / NOT true 正误判断，6 题，约占 15%）：如判断哪一句符合国花之争的文意、从末段推知蜜蜂有很强的识数能力。需要在原文找到依据链，不能凭常识。 （3）文章出处与写作手法（5 题，约占 13%）：出处题看材料的“外壳”（票价与电话、Click here、栏目名称），如网页用语 Click here to see more information 指向 On the Internet；手法题如开篇连发三问属于 By asking questions。 （4）主旨大意、段落大意与最佳标题（4 题，约占 10%）：如中英学生对比调查的主旨、常州劳动教育新规第一段的大意、红袜子染衣的最佳标题 The bright red sock。 （5）词义猜测与代词指代（3 题，约占 8%）：did the laundry、高洁品质一类词语猜测，以及末段 it 指代 doing housework。答案一定藏在上下文里。 （6）数字计算与信息换算（2 题）：一家四口游螺髻山的票价、父子三人游香港游乐园的票价，需要按成人/儿童、折扣逐项对回票价表后相加。 （7）句子还原（1 题）：把句子填回原文空白处，需与空后一句的问答方向严丝合缝。 四、难度与趋势 整体难度中等偏上：近一半题目是直接细节题，得分相对容易；难点集中在推理判断与主旨概括，以及 never / only / all / NOT 一类绝对化词语的甄别。近年趋势是材料更贴近真实语用——广告、网页帖文、调查报告、科普短文频现，并常以表格、图文混排的方式呈现；题目越来越少考“原句照抄”，越来越多考“同义改写 + 合理推断”，因此训练时要刻意练“把选项译回原文”的习惯。 一、四步解题法 第一步：先读题干，圈出关键词。人名、地名、数字、大写专有名词（Trip 2、Luoji Mountain、Helen）是最好的定位路标，比通读全文更快。 第二步：带着关键词回原文定位，找到对应句后划线。表格类材料先锁定行（哪条线路、哪个人物），再在该行内找答案。 第三步：把四个选项逐一代回定位句比对。先排掉无中生有和绝对化表述，再选与原文构成同义改写的那一项——正确项往往换了词、换了句式，但意思不变。 第四步：主旨、标题、出处题放到最后做。此时已通读全文，抓各段首句与高频词即可判定，正确项必须能覆盖全文而不是某一段。 二、结合本次特训题目的实战点拨 【点拨1】细节理解——原词复现定位，以 Passage 1 题 4 为例：原文 “Take your digital camera and enjoy the great sights here.” 正对应 Trip 2 Beihai Park 一行，题干问在 Trip 2 观光最好带什么，与原文 digital camera 原词复现，故选 B。A 项 a sun hat 属于 Trip 4、C 项 warm clothes 属于 Trip 3、D 项 strong shoes 属于 Trip 1，都是把其他线路的信息混进来做干扰。提示：表格类应用文的细节题，先按题干中的专有名词锁定行，再在该行内找原词，切忌凭印象跨行作答。 【点拨2】数字计算——逐项对回票价表，以 Passage 1 题 2 为例：原文 “Adult: $120.00 Child: $60.00” 是 Trip 1 Luoji Mountain 的票价。King 夫妇二人加 7 岁儿子、11 岁女儿共 2 名成人、2 名儿童，120×2＋60×2＝360，故选 D。提示：数字题把题干里的身份与年龄一个一个对回表格，特别注意成人价、儿童价、半价与免票的区分，最容易错在漏算人数或用错档次。 【点拨3】网页帖文类材料——先找人物行，以 Passage 3 题 1 为例：原文 “We ate delicious food, too.” 出自 Helen 一段，题干问 Helen 假期做了什么，故选 A（ate food）。B 项 went boating 是 Diana 的活动，C、D 两项原文根本没有对应人物。提示：多条人物并列的网页材料，人名就是最可靠的定位点，先在表格里锁定该人物所在行，再比对该行里的谓语动词。 【点拨4】词义猜测——由上下文同义解释反推，以 Passage 4 题 2 为例：原文 “Mum did the laundry on Saturdays.” 后文紧接着说 “Why don’t I wash my own clothes this week?”，还写到把衣服放进 washing machine，可见 did the laundry 就是 washed the clothes，故选 C。提示：词义题不要盯单词本身，往前看一句、往后看两句，用同义改写、举例或动作描写反推含义。 【点拨5】句子还原——看空后一句的问答方向，以 Passage 4 题 3 为例：原文 “I don’t have a pink T-shirt,” Jeremy said to himself. 空格后他伸手继续掏洗衣机，发现更多粉色衣服并自问 “What happened?”，说明此处是追问粉红色的来历，故选 B（Where does it come from?）。A、C、D 三项都与后文“追查原因”的方向接不上。提示：句子还原题把空后一句当作“回答”，反推空格应是怎样的提问或陈述。 【点拨6】正误判断——警惕张冠李戴，以 Passage 5 题 4 为例：原文 “It is said to be modest and persistent, as it is able to grow even during cold winters.” 说的是梅花（plum blossom），而 A 项把“能在寒冬生长”安到牡丹（peony）头上，与原文不符，故选 A。B、C、D 三项均可在原文找到对应表述。提示：NOT true / EXCEPT 题要逐项回原文找依据，最常见的陷阱就是张冠李戴——把甲的特点写成乙的。 【点拨7】主旨大意——正确项必须覆盖全文，以 Passage 7 题 5 为例：原文首段 “A group of exchange students finished a survey comparing Chinese and British junior high students” 已点明全文框架，中间三段分别写性格、课外活动与友谊观，末段归结到文化差异不妨碍相互理解，故选 A。B、C、D 三项都只对应文中某一个侧面。提示：主旨题优先读首段末段与各段首句，能覆盖全文的选项才是答案，只对应某一段的选项再像也不能选。 【点拨8】文章出处——从材料的“外壳”找线索，以 Passage 3 题 5 为例：原文 “Click here to see more information.” 是典型的网页用语，加上文末还有人物头像式的分栏呈现，可判断材料来自网络，故选 C（On the Internet）。提示：出处题看材料的外部特征——广告看票价与联系电话、网页看 Click here 一类交互语、杂志看栏目名、教材看练习指令，不要凭话题主观猜测。 三、易错提醒 • 选项里出现 all / never / only / must 等绝对化词语时，先回原文核对，多半是无中生有的干扰项。 • 表格、网页类材料要先读表头、人名行与栏目，再做题；顺序反了会浪费大量时间还容易串行。 • NOT true / EXCEPT 题必须逐项找依据，常见陷阱是“张冠李戴”和“半句对、半句错”。 • 主旨题与标题题放到最后做，选“覆盖全文”的那一项，只对应某一段的选项再贴切也不能选。 • 词义猜测题的答案一定在上下文里，绝不能凭单词本身的主观印象作答。 • 数字题要写明算式再比对选项，避免漏算人数、用错价格档次。 Passage 1 Trip 1 Luoji Mountain Bring your strong shoes for the hiking in a beautiful area of Luoji Mountain.

Then he got a good idea. Mum did the laundry on Saturdays. “Why don’t I wash my own clothes this week?” He ran to his room to get his clothes. He put them into the washing machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button “START”. After the washing was done, Jeremy took out the clothes. Everything seemed clean, and he felt very happy. Then he took a pink T-shirt out of the washing machine. Jeremy stopped. “________ I don’t have a pink T-shirt,” Jeremy said to himself. He reached into the washer to take out more clothes. There were more pink clothes! What happened? The last thing was a bright red sock. When he picked it up (拿起), the sock turned his hand red. “The sock turned all of my white clothes pink,” Jeremy thought. The next day, Jeremy wore his new pink T-shirt to breakfast. “Where did you get that T-shirt?” Mum asked. “It looks nice.” Jeremy smiled, “I made it yesterday when I washed the clothes.” 1．Why did Jeremy help with the housework? A．Because it was part of his homework. B．Because his mum asked him to do that. C．Because he liked doing housework.

Having a national flower, fruit and animal shows a country’s awareness (意识) and respect for the gifts that nature has given it. England has roses, and the Netherlands has tulips. But China, despite many beautiful flowers, does not. China once had national flowers. During the Qing Dynasty, it was the peony (牡丹). The government of the Republic of China later changed it to the plum blossom (梅花). But after the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, a national flower was not chosen. Compared with small plum blossoms, peonies have large blossoms and vivid colors. Supporters of peonies think they represent China’s continuing rise. However, plum blossom supporters argue that the peony is often connected with chasing wealth and fame (名声), which is not encouraged. On the contrary, the plum blossom has very noble (高洁的) qualities. It is said to be modest and persistent, as it is able to grow even during cold winters. Some people have suggested that both flowers could be China’s national flowers—“one country, two flowers”, you might say. “China is just so big geographically, and both flowers are popular,” Li Qingwei, an associate professor at Beijing Forestry University, told China Daily. “So why not let both become national flowers?” 1．Which of the following flowers once became national flower of China? A．Roses. B．Tulips. C．Peonies. D．Not mentioned. 2．Which is NOT a characteristic of peonies? A．Large blossoms. B．Noble qualities. C．Vivid colors. D．Standing for continuing rise. 3．What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? A．追逐名利 B．富贵双全 C．豪华气派 D．坚韧不拔 4．Which of the following is NOT true about national flower according to the passage? A．The peony is able to grow even during cold winters. B．The People’s Republic of China hasn’t chosen a national flower. C．The peony is often connected with wealth and fame. D．Some people support“one country, two flowers”. 5．What is the passage mainly talking about? A．Which is the best national flower, peony, plum or both? B．The peony is the most suitable national flower of China. C．The plum is the most suitable national flower of China. D．Both the plum and the peony are chosen as national flower of China. 【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍中国尚未确定国花，牡丹与梅花都曾被作为国花，二者各有支持者，还有学者建议 “一国两花”，将两种花都定为中国国花。 【详解】1．根据文章第二段中“During the Qing Dynasty, it was the peony (牡丹).”可知，在清朝时牡丹曾是国花。 2．根据文章第三段中“Compared with small plum blossoms, peonies have large blossoms and vivid colors. Supporters of peonies think they represent China's continuing rise.”可知，文中提到牡丹花大、色彩艳丽，象征国家不断崛起，“Noble qualities”是梅花的品质，不属于牡丹的特点。 3．根据文章第四段中“It is said to be modest and persistent, as it is able to grow even during cold winters.”可知，此处表示梅花的特点和它表现的品格，梅花凌寒开放，体现坚韧不拔的品格。 4．根据文章第四段中“It is said to be modest and persistent, as it is able to grow even during cold winters.”可知，能够在寒冬生长的是梅花，不是牡丹， 5．通读全文，文章围绕牡丹、梅花哪个适合作为国花展开，也提到了二者同时作为国花的提议。 Passage 6 Can you say the meaning of “zero”? Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法)? Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too? A study shows that bees have even greater maths abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers and odd numbers. Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd (奇数的) or even (偶数的) number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sweet water. If it chose the wrong card, it got bitter (苦的) water. In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people. How did the bees learn the numbers so fast? Scientists didn’t have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer, it will help them build better and faster computers. After all, a bee’s brain is about 86,000 times smaller than ours! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing facts. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By using pictures. 2．Which of the following cards should the second group of bees fly to? A．①④ B．②③ C．①② D．③④ 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Our brains are 8,600 times bigger than those of bees. B．Bees like bitter water rather than sweet water. C．After training, bees can learn even numbers more quickly than people. D．After training, bees can know the difference between even numbers and odd numbers. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Bees have a great ability to learn numbers. B．Bees like odd numbers better than even numbers. C．Scientists know how bees learn numbers. D．Scientists know why bees can tell different numbers. 5．In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A．Animal World. B．Sports Life. C．Festival Week. D．Beautiful Cities. 【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍一项科学研究：蜜蜂经过训练能够区分奇数和偶数，甚至学习奇数的速度比人类更快，科学家希望弄清背后原理，助力研发更先进的计算机。 【详解】1．根据文章第一段开头连续提出两个问句“Can you say the meaning of ‘zero’? Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法)?”，作者通过提问的方式开启整篇文章。 2．根据文章第二段中“the second group to choose even numbers”，第二组蜜蜂需要选择偶数（三角形数量为偶数）。①3个（奇数）②4个（偶数）③6个（偶数）④5个（奇数），所以选②③。 3．根据文章第一段中“After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers and odd numbers.”，说明经过训练，蜜蜂可以分清奇数和偶数。 4．根据文章最后一段讲述蜜蜂大脑体积极小，却具备快速识数的强大能力，科学家还不清楚蜜蜂快速学会数字的原理，但认为该研究有助于研发计算机。 5．文章介绍蜜蜂的科研实验，属于动物相关内容，对应报纸板块Animal World（动物世界）。 Passage 7 A group of exchange students finished a survey comparing Chinese and British junior high students’ personalities and daily habits. Here are their main findings. For personalities: Most Chinese students are quieter and more careful in class than British teenagers. They listen to teachers more patiently and take more detailed notes during lessons. British students are usually more outgoing and braver to put forward different ideas in class discussions. However, both groups are as kind as each other and ready to give a hand to classmates who fall behind in study. For spare-time activities: Chinese students spend more time on skill training classes after school, such as painting, piano and math lessons. British students spend much more time on outdoor group sports like rugby and hiking. Their daily exercise time is longer than most Chinese teenagers’. For opinions of friendship: Most Chinese students love long-term quiet friendships with people who share similar hobbies. Most British teenagers prefer making friends with different personalities. They believe friends with different strengths can bring more new fun and fresh experience to daily life. Though there are many clear differences between the two groups, the survey finds one common wish: All teenagers hope to get true friends who fully respect their real personalities, no matter similar or different. Cultural differences won’t stop young people from understanding each other better. 1．Compared with British students, Chinese students in class are ________. A．more outgoing and brave B．quieter and more careful C．better at outdoor sports D．quicker to disagree with teachers 2．What do British students spend more time on after school?

B．They are ready to help weak classmates. C．They love long quiet friendship most. D．They take lots of art training every week. 4．What do most British teens think of friends? A．Friends must have totally same hobbies. B．Similar friends are more valuable. C．Different friends bring new fun. D．Cultural differences break friendship. 5．What is the main idea of the article? A．A survey compares Chinese and British junior students’ similarities and differences. B．Different after-school activities in Western middle schools. C．Ways to make foreign exchange friends. D．Personality changes during exchange study trips. 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇调查报告（说明文），通过交换生的调查数据，对比中国和英国初中生在性格表现、课外活动偏好、友谊观念等方面的异同，并指出文化差异并不妨碍相互理解。 【详解】1．由第2段“Most Chinese students are quieter and more careful in class than British teenagers.”可知，中国学生更安静、更仔细。 2．由第3段“British students spend much more time on outdoor group sports like rugby and hiking.”可知，他们花更多时间在户外团体运动上。 3．由第2段末句“both groups are as kind as each other and ready to give a hand to classmates who fall behind in study.”可知，他们都乐于帮助学习落后的同学。 4．由第4段“Most British teenagers prefer making friends with different personalities. They believe friends with different strengths can bring more new fun and fresh experience to daily life.”可知，他们认为不同性格的朋友能带来新乐趣。 5．全文对比中英初中生在性格、课外活动、友谊观念上的异同，并指出共同愿望，A项“一项调查对比中英初中生的相似点和不同点”准确概括。B“不同课外活动”不全面；C“交外国朋友的方法”未提及；D“交换学习中的个性变化”未提及。 Passage 8 Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, has a new rule for both parents and children. It asks parents to make sure their children spend at least two hours a week doing housework at home. It is meant to help children understand the importance of labor (劳动) work and learn useful labor skills. The rule also asks schools to offer lessons about labor education, places for teaching labor skills, experienced teachers and tools (工具). It also says that there should be a special week for labor education and special money for these lessons. There is a big discussion about the new rule. Some people think it’s a good idea, but others don’t think so. “I just have a few hours to relax every weekend, and I have little time to do housework,” Wang Xing, a middle school student said. “I hardly have any classmates who do housework.” Xiong Bingqi, an expert (专家), said, “To make sure the new rule works well, parents’ participation (参与) is very important. Parents can help their children with chores and make housework part of family time. This way, children may enjoy it more and learn faster.” “Some parents care too much about grades and forget to teach their children important life skills.” Xiong said. “Doing housework can make students smarter and healthier. Just being good at school isn’t enough to be successful if students don’t have other important skills. In the future, students with strong life skills may find it easier to take care of themselves and face real-life problems.” 1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．A guide for parents to make housework fun. B．A way for teachers to teach labor skills. C．A new rule of kids’ labor education. D．A study of kids’ weekly housework time. 2．Why doesn’t Wang Xing like the rule? A．Because he thinks it’s not meaningful. B．Because he is too busy to do housework. C．Because studies are more important to him. D．Because his classmates all don’t like it. 3．According to Xiong Bingqi, what plays an important part in making the new rule work well?

B．Getting better grades. C．Being good at school. D．Following family rules 5．Which of the following may Xiong Bingqi agree with? A．It is right to care more about grades than labor skills. B．It is OK to teach kids labor skills when they grow up. C．It is hard to be successful if kids don’t have life skills. D．It is boring for kids to do housework for 2 hours weekly. 【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了江苏省常州市出台的一项关于孩子劳动教育的新规定，要求孩子每周做家务至少两小时，并呈现了学生及专家对该规定的不同看法和建议。 【详解】1．主旨大意题。根据文章第1段“Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, has a new rule for both parents and children. It asks parents to make sure their children spend at least two hours a week doing housework at home.”可推知第一段主要介绍了关于孩子劳动教育的一项新规定，核心内容是新规本身。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第4段“I just have a few hours to relax every weekend, and I have little time to do housework,Wang Xing, a middle school student said.”可推知王兴不喜欢这个规定是因为他周末放松时间少，没时间做家务。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第5段“Xiong Bingqi, an expert (专家), said, “To make sure the new rule works well, parents’participation (参与) is very important.””可推知熊丙奇认为家长的参与对新规定顺利实施很重要。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章第5段“Parents can help their children with chores and make housework part of family time. This way, children may enjoy it more and learn faster.”可推知it指代前文提到的做家务这件事。 5．推理判断题。根据文章第6段“Just being good at school isn't enough to be successful if students don't have other important skills.”可推知熊丙奇同意如果孩子没有生活技能很难成功这一观点。 12 / 16乐思英语 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $考前特训 专题03 阅读理解 期中考满分冲刺（广东专用） 姓名：___________班级：___________座号：___________ 内容提要 题型分析 解题指导 集中突破 一、题型定位 “阅读理解”是期中考英语试卷中分值最高、篇幅最大的板块，考查的是“从书面材料中获取信息、理解大意、进行简单推断”的能力。它不考背单词，考的是三件事：能不能快速定位信息、能不能读懂稍长的句子、能不能从字里行间推出作者没有直说的意思。 二、命题形式与题量 以“短文 + 5 道选择题”的形式呈现，每小题 A、B、C、D 四个选项；本次特训共 8 篇、40 题，正文词数在 139–251 词之间。体裁覆盖应用文（旅行线路广告、网页帖文）、说明文（国花之争、蜜蜂识数实验、中英学生对比调查）与记叙文（帮妈妈洗衣服闹出的笑话），其中 3 篇正文以表格或网页形式呈现，需要先读表、读版式，再做题。 三、核心考点分布（基于本次特训 40 题梳理） 通过逐题梳理本次特训的 40 道题，考点集中在以下七类： （1）细节理解题（19 题，约占 48%）：答案直接在原文中给出或稍作改写，如 Trip 2 观光要带 digital camera、Helen 假期 ate food、蜜蜂经训练能区分奇偶。做题关键是“定位—比对—排除”三步。 （2）推理判断题（含 TRUE / NOT true 正误判断，6 题，约占 15%）：如判断哪一句符合国花之争的文意、从末段推知蜜蜂有很强的识数能力。需要在原文找到依据链，不能凭常识。 （3）文章出处与写作手法（5 题，约占 13%）：出处题看材料的“外壳”（票价与电话、Click here、栏目名称），如网页用语 Click here to see more information 指向 On the Internet；手法题如开篇连发三问属于 By asking questions。 （4）主旨大意、段落大意与最佳标题（4 题，约占 10%）：如中英学生对比调查的主旨、常州劳动教育新规第一段的大意、红袜子染衣的最佳标题 The bright red sock。 （5）词义猜测与代词指代（3 题，约占 8%）：did the laundry、高洁品质一类词语猜测，以及末段 it 指代 doing housework。答案一定藏在上下文里。 （6）数字计算与信息换算（2 题）：一家四口游螺髻山的票价、父子三人游香港游乐园的票价，需要按成人/儿童、折扣逐项对回票价表后相加。 （7）句子还原（1 题）：把句子填回原文空白处，需与空后一句的问答方向严丝合缝。 四、难度与趋势 整体难度中等偏上：近一半题目是直接细节题，得分相对容易；难点集中在推理判断与主旨概括，以及 never / only / all / NOT 一类绝对化词语的甄别。近年趋势是材料更贴近真实语用——广告、网页帖文、调查报告、科普短文频现，并常以表格、图文混排的方式呈现；题目越来越少考“原句照抄”，越来越多考“同义改写 + 合理推断”，因此训练时要刻意练“把选项译回原文”的习惯。 一、四步解题法 第一步：先读题干，圈出关键词。人名、地名、数字、大写专有名词（Trip 2、Luoji Mountain、Helen）是最好的定位路标，比通读全文更快。 第二步：带着关键词回原文定位，找到对应句后划线。表格类材料先锁定行（哪条线路、哪个人物），再在该行内找答案。 第三步：把四个选项逐一代回定位句比对。先排掉无中生有和绝对化表述，再选与原文构成同义改写的那一项——正确项往往换了词、换了句式，但意思不变。 第四步：主旨、标题、出处题放到最后做。此时已通读全文，抓各段首句与高频词即可判定，正确项必须能覆盖全文而不是某一段。 二、结合本次特训题目的实战点拨 【点拨1】细节理解——原词复现定位，以 Passage 1 题 4 为例：原文 “Take your digital camera and enjoy the great sights here.” 正对应 Trip 2 Beihai Park 一行，题干问在 Trip 2 观光最好带什么，与原文 digital camera 原词复现，故选 B。A 项 a sun hat 属于 Trip 4、C 项 warm clothes 属于 Trip 3、D 项 strong shoes 属于 Trip 1，都是把其他线路的信息混进来做干扰。提示：表格类应用文的细节题，先按题干中的专有名词锁定行，再在该行内找原词，切忌凭印象跨行作答。 【点拨2】数字计算——逐项对回票价表，以 Passage 1 题 2 为例：原文 “Adult: $120.00 Child: $60.00” 是 Trip 1 Luoji Mountain 的票价。King 夫妇二人加 7 岁儿子、11 岁女儿共 2 名成人、2 名儿童，120×2＋60×2＝360，故选 D。提示：数字题把题干里的身份与年龄一个一个对回表格，特别注意成人价、儿童价、半价与免票的区分，最容易错在漏算人数或用错档次。 【点拨3】网页帖文类材料——先找人物行，以 Passage 3 题 1 为例：原文 “We ate delicious food, too.” 出自 Helen 一段，题干问 Helen 假期做了什么，故选 A（ate food）。B 项 went boating 是 Diana 的活动，C、D 两项原文根本没有对应人物。提示：多条人物并列的网页材料，人名就是最可靠的定位点，先在表格里锁定该人物所在行，再比对该行里的谓语动词。 【点拨4】词义猜测——由上下文同义解释反推，以 Passage 4 题 2 为例：原文 “Mum did the laundry on Saturdays.” 后文紧接着说 “Why don’t I wash my own clothes this week?”，还写到把衣服放进 washing machine，可见 did the laundry 就是 washed the clothes，故选 C。提示：词义题不要盯单词本身，往前看一句、往后看两句，用同义改写、举例或动作描写反推含义。 【点拨5】句子还原——看空后一句的问答方向，以 Passage 4 题 3 为例：原文 “I don’t have a pink T-shirt,” Jeremy said to himself. 空格后他伸手继续掏洗衣机，发现更多粉色衣服并自问 “What happened?”，说明此处是追问粉红色的来历，故选 B（Where does it come from?）。A、C、D 三项都与后文“追查原因”的方向接不上。提示：句子还原题把空后一句当作“回答”，反推空格应是怎样的提问或陈述。 【点拨6】正误判断——警惕张冠李戴，以 Passage 5 题 4 为例：原文 “It is said to be modest and persistent, as it is able to grow even during cold winters.” 说的是梅花（plum blossom），而 A 项把“能在寒冬生长”安到牡丹（peony）头上，与原文不符，故选 A。B、C、D 三项均可在原文找到对应表述。提示：NOT true / EXCEPT 题要逐项回原文找依据，最常见的陷阱就是张冠李戴——把甲的特点写成乙的。 【点拨7】主旨大意——正确项必须覆盖全文，以 Passage 7 题 5 为例：原文首段 “A group of exchange students finished a survey comparing Chinese and British junior high students” 已点明全文框架，中间三段分别写性格、课外活动与友谊观，末段归结到文化差异不妨碍相互理解，故选 A。B、C、D 三项都只对应文中某一个侧面。提示：主旨题优先读首段末段与各段首句，能覆盖全文的选项才是答案，只对应某一段的选项再像也不能选。 【点拨8】文章出处——从材料的“外壳”找线索，以 Passage 3 题 5 为例：原文 “Click here to see more information.” 是典型的网页用语，加上文末还有人物头像式的分栏呈现，可判断材料来自网络，故选 C（On the Internet）。提示：出处题看材料的外部特征——广告看票价与联系电话、网页看 Click here 一类交互语、杂志看栏目名、教材看练习指令，不要凭话题主观猜测。 三、易错提醒 • 选项里出现 all / never / only / must 等绝对化词语时，先回原文核对，多半是无中生有的干扰项。 • 表格、网页类材料要先读表头、人名行与栏目，再做题；顺序反了会浪费大量时间还容易串行。 • NOT true / EXCEPT 题必须逐项找依据，常见陷阱是“张冠李戴”和“半句对、半句错”。 • 主旨题与标题题放到最后做，选“覆盖全文”的那一项，只对应某一段的选项再贴切也不能选。 • 词义猜测题的答案一定在上下文里，绝不能凭单词本身的主观印象作答。 • 数字题要写明算式再比对选项，避免漏算人数、用错价格档次。 Passage 1 Trip 1 Luoji Mountain Bring your strong shoes for the hiking in a beautiful area of Luoji Mountain.

Then he got a good idea. Mum did the laundry on Saturdays. “Why don’t I wash my own clothes this week?” He ran to his room to get his clothes. He put them into the washing machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button “START”. After the washing was done, Jeremy took out the clothes. Everything seemed clean, and he felt very happy. Then he took a pink T-shirt out of the washing machine. Jeremy stopped. “________ I don’t have a pink T-shirt,” Jeremy said to himself. He reached into the washer to take out more clothes. There were more pink clothes! What happened? The last thing was a bright red sock. When he picked it up (拿起), the sock turned his hand red. “The sock turned all of my white clothes pink,” Jeremy thought. The next day, Jeremy wore his new pink T-shirt to breakfast. “Where did you get that T-shirt?” Mum asked. “It looks nice.” Jeremy smiled, “I made it yesterday when I washed the clothes.” 1．Why did Jeremy help with the housework? A．Because it was part of his homework. B．Because his mum asked him to do that. C．Because he liked doing housework.

Having a national flower, fruit and animal shows a country’s awareness (意识) and respect for the gifts that nature has given it. England has roses, and the Netherlands has tulips. But China, despite many beautiful flowers, does not. China once had national flowers. During the Qing Dynasty, it was the peony (牡丹). The government of the Republic of China later changed it to the plum blossom (梅花). But after the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, a national flower was not chosen. Compared with small plum blossoms, peonies have large blossoms and vivid colors. Supporters of peonies think they represent China’s continuing rise. However, plum blossom supporters argue that the peony is often connected with chasing wealth and fame (名声), which is not encouraged. On the contrary, the plum blossom has very noble (高洁的) qualities. It is said to be modest and persistent, as it is able to grow even during cold winters. Some people have suggested that both flowers could be China’s national flowers—“one country, two flowers”, you might say. “China is just so big geographically, and both flowers are popular,” Li Qingwei, an associate professor at Beijing Forestry University, told China Daily. “So why not let both become national flowers?” 1．Which of the following flowers once became national flower of China? A．Roses. B．Tulips. C．Peonies. D．Not mentioned. 2．Which is NOT a characteristic of peonies? A．Large blossoms. B．Noble qualities. C．Vivid colors.

A．The peony is able to grow even during cold winters. B．The People’s Republic of China hasn’t chosen a national flower. C．The peony is often connected with wealth and fame. D．Some people support“one country, two flowers”. 5．What is the passage mainly talking about? A．Which is the best national flower, peony, plum or both? B．The peony is the most suitable national flower of China. C．The plum is the most suitable national flower of China. D．Both the plum and the peony are chosen as national flower of China. Passage 6 Can you say the meaning of “zero”? Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法)? Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too? A study shows that bees have even greater maths abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers and odd numbers. Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd (奇数的) or even (偶数的) number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sweet water. If it chose the wrong card, it got bitter (苦的) water. In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people. How did the bees learn the numbers so fast? Scientists didn’t have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer, it will help them build better and faster computers. After all, a bee’s brain is about 86,000 times smaller than ours! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing facts. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By using pictures. 2．Which of the following cards should the second group of bees fly to? A．①④ B．②③ C．①② D．③④ 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Our brains are 8,600 times bigger than those of bees. B．Bees like bitter water rather than sweet water. C．After training, bees can learn even numbers more quickly than people. D．After training, bees can know the difference between even numbers and odd numbers. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Bees have a great ability to learn numbers. B．Bees like odd numbers better than even numbers. C．Scientists know how bees learn numbers. D．Scientists know why bees can tell different numbers. 5．In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A．Animal World. B．Sports Life. C．Festival Week. D．Beautiful Cities. Passage 7 A group of exchange students finished a survey comparing Chinese and British junior high students’ personalities and daily habits. Here are their main findings. For personalities: Most Chinese students are quieter and more careful in class than British teenagers. They listen to teachers more patiently and take more detailed notes during lessons. British students are usually more outgoing and braver to put forward different ideas in class discussions. However, both groups are as kind as each other and ready to give a hand to classmates who fall behind in study. For spare-time activities: Chinese students spend more time on skill training classes after school, such as painting, piano and math lessons. British students spend much more time on outdoor group sports like rugby and hiking. Their daily exercise time is longer than most Chinese teenagers’. For opinions of friendship: Most Chinese students love long-term quiet friendships with people who share similar hobbies. Most British teenagers prefer making friends with different personalities. They believe friends with different strengths can bring more new fun and fresh experience to daily life. Though there are many clear differences between the two groups, the survey finds one common wish: All teenagers hope to get true friends who fully respect their real personalities, no matter similar or different. Cultural differences won’t stop young people from understanding each other better. 1．Compared with British students, Chinese students in class are ________. A．more outgoing and brave B．quieter and more careful C．better at outdoor sports D．quicker to disagree with teachers 2．What do British students spend more time on after school?

A．A survey compares Chinese and British junior students’ similarities and differences. B．Different after-school activities in Western middle schools. C．Ways to make foreign exchange friends. D．Personality changes during exchange study trips. Passage 8 Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, has a new rule for both parents and children. It asks parents to make sure their children spend at least two hours a week doing housework at home. It is meant to help children understand the importance of labor (劳动) work and learn useful labor skills. The rule also asks schools to offer lessons about labor education, places for teaching labor skills, experienced teachers and tools (工具). It also says that there should be a special week for labor education and special money for these lessons. There is a big discussion about the new rule. Some people think it’s a good idea, but others don’t think so. “I just have a few hours to relax every weekend, and I have little time to do housework,” Wang Xing, a middle school student said. “I hardly have any classmates who do housework.” Xiong Bingqi, an expert (专家), said, “To make sure the new rule works well, parents’ participation (参与) is very important. Parents can help their children with chores and make housework part of family time. This way, children may enjoy it more and learn faster.” “Some parents care too much about grades and forget to teach their children important life skills.” Xiong said. “Doing housework can make students smarter and healthier. Just being good at school isn’t enough to be successful if students don’t have other important skills. In the future, students with strong life skills may find it easier to take care of themselves and face real-life problems.” 1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．A guide for parents to make housework fun. B．A way for teachers to teach labor skills. C．A new rule of kids’ labor education. D．A study of kids’ weekly housework time. 2．Why doesn’t Wang Xing like the rule? A．Because he thinks it’s not meaningful. B．Because he is too busy to do housework. C．Because studies are more important to him. D．Because his classmates all don’t like it. 3．According to Xiong Bingqi, what plays an important part in making the new rule work well? A．Parents’ participation B．Students’ much free time C．More money from students D．More homework at school 4．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．Doing housework. B．Getting better grades. C．Being good at school. D．Following family rules 5．Which of the following may Xiong Bingqi agree with? A．It is right to care more about grades than labor skills. B．It is OK to teach kids labor skills when they grow up. C．It is hard to be successful if kids don’t have life skills. D．It is boring for kids to do housework for 2 hours weekly. 12 / 12乐思英语 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
