2016年中考英语阅读技巧精讲

　　再如： Brendan’s best friend is Tip。 They teach each other things and they look after each other。 Tip has helped Brendan become more responsible and more caring。 Brendan is a nine-year-old boy， and Tip is a ten-year old dog。 Brendan and Tip are an example of how owning a dog can have a good effect on a child’s development。

　　请问这一段的主旨是什么?也可以出What’s the passage mainly about?的题。

　　A.Lessons children learn from a dog。

　　B.Advice on owning a dog for children。

　　C.The relationship between children and dogs。

　　D.The good effects on children of owning a dog。

　　分析：此段文字为归纳思维，开篇举了一个实例引入主题： Brendan and Tip are an example of how owning a dog can have a good effect on a child’s development。 所以答案为D。此时会有同学疑惑我读完整篇文章感觉A也像正确答案，但实际情况却非如此因为A答案与原文相比省略了一个词owning 或having ，这种答案叫偷梁换柱，考的就是细心人很不是过于相信自己能力的人。

　　再如：When students and parents are asked to grade subjects according to their importance， the arts are usually at the bottom of the list。 Music is nice， people seem to say， but not important。 Too often it is only viewed as entertainment， but certainly not an education priority(优先)。 This view is shortsighted。 In fact， music education is very important for all students。

　　What is the main idea of the passage?

　　A。 Music education is worth more attention。

　　B。 Music should be of top education priority。

　　C。 Music is really a good communication tool。

　　D。 Music education makes students more imaginative。

　　用上文陈述的方法可选出答案为A。划线句为中心句，本段文字以时间状语从句开头引入中心，即音乐教育更值得关注。

　　F。 文章题目选择题。说明文和议论文要使用中心词对应法，记叙文使用中心任务对应法。同样列举上文C中题型的文字为例：

　　To err is human。 To blame(责备) the other guy is even more human。

　　Common sense is not all that common。

　　Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?

　　These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes， and yet they tell us a lot about human nature。 To err， or to make mistakes， is indeed a part of being human， but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem。 Perhaps it is the natural thing to do。 The original quote about human nature went like this： “To err is human， to forgive， divine(神圣的)。” This saying mirrors an ideal： People should be forgiving of others’ mistakes。 Instead， we tend to do the opposite – find someone else to pass the blame on to。 However， taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity(成熟)。

　　Common sense is what we call clear thought。 Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well， and it also means staying with the plan。 Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm， but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine。 Common sense does not seem to be common for large companies， because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything。 People say that in a large company， “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing。”

　　And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people， especially young people， get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time。 There is a corollary(直接推论)to that： if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest， then where is the place of the truth?

　　What would be the best title for this passage?

　　A。 A Mirror of Human Nature

　　B。 To Blame or to Forgive

　　C。 A Mark of Maturity

　　D。 Truth or Excuse

　　解析：三段文字哪句具有总结特点?为划线句。为什么?因为文章开头列举三个戏谑引语，其作用在于引入主题，即为划线句。所以答案为A。人的本性的一面镜子。中心词为Human Nature。
