【答案及解析】

2.选A。Jean认为David幽默风趣，在摇滚乐和现代舞上和她有共同的兴趣，他们可以

在网上快乐地聊上几个小时。很显然David使得Jean很开心。答案选A。

3.选C。文章的最后一句...shefoundthatherspecialfriendwasatwelve-year-oldboy

namedJim!告诉我们，当Jean发现她那特殊的朋友是一个12岁的小孩时，用了一个感叹号

结尾，虽然作者没有直接说Jean感到惊讶，但是我们可以从这个标点符号推断出她的感觉

应该是十分surprised（惊讶的）。

4.选A。本文讲述Jean交了个十分投缘的网友，后来却发现对方原来只是一个12岁的

小男孩。通过这个故事，短文意在告戒人们不要轻易相信Q友，答案选A。

A.attheageof13

B.beforeshegotmarried

C.aftertheymovedtonewhomes

A.forabout40years

B.forabout27years

C.sincetheygotmarried

D.sincethewriter'sfamilymovedaway

【答案及解析】

1.选D。开始的时候作者与Linda总是一起去上钢琴课、看电影、游泳、骑马等，但后

来在作者13岁的时候，作者一家搬走了，两人只能通过书信联系。比较四个选项，显然只

能选D。

2.选B。根据文章第2段中的Soonwewerebusywithchildrenandmovingtonewhomes,

andwewrotelessoften根据文可知，她们之所以没经常写信，是因为她们要忙于照顾孩子，

又要搬新家，也就是说，她们没有时间写信。

3.选D。根据文章第3段内容可知答案。

4.选B。真正让作者感到高兴的是当她在电话上听到老朋友Linda的声音的时候。而读

到报纸的时候和写信的时候都还只是在猜测，那时还谈不上高兴。

5.选Ao根据文章最后一段中的MinuteslaterIheardavoicethatIknewverymuch,even

after40years…可知,答案选A。

中考英语幽默阅读•看病

每天都有很多人被病痛折磨着，但有些病却是因为一些不必要的担忧，正如本文中的

tailor一样，威吓不少一点忧心，让自己健康快乐一点呢？

Amanwenttoseehisdoctoroneday,becausehewassufferingfrompainsinhisstomach.

Afterthedoctorhadexaminedhimcarefully,hesaidtohim,“Well,there'snothingreallywrong

根据以上短文内容判断正误，正确的用叮”表示，错误的用表示。

1.Thetailorwenttoseehisdoctorbecausehehasgotaheadache.

2.Thereisnothingseriouswiththetailor.

3.Amanwiththesametroubleasthetailorafewdaysago.

4.Thedoctorgavethemanandthetailorthesameadvice.

5.Thetailorwasworriedbecauseamancouldn'tpayhisbills.

【答案及解析】

1.选F。根据第1句Amanwenttoseehisdoctoroneday,becausehewassufferingfrom

painsinhisstomach可知本题是错误的。

2.选T。根据…thereisnothingreallywrongwithyou(tailor)可知裁缝的身体并没有什么

大碍，故可判断此题与短文内容相符。

3.选Fo根据句子Doyouknow,Ihadamanwiththesametroubleasyouhereafewweeks

ago可知本题所叙述的时间与短文内容不一致，因此可判断此题是错误的。

4.选T。根据...andIgavehimthesameadviceasIamgoingtogiveyou可知答案。

5.选T。通读全文我们可知：上一个病人是担心他自己不能付钱给他的裁缝，而这个裁

缝的病因却是因为担心那个人不能付钱给他的。

【答案及解析】

1.选T。根据句子t4Killthehawks/9theofficialssaid.可知,此题与短文内容相符合,所

以可判断为正确。

2.选F。本题句意为“田鼠不仅吃小鸡还吃农民的庄稼“，但由句子Fieldmicewereeating

upalotofthefarmers,grain.可知，田鼠只吃庄稼，

3.选To由句子Iftheanimalscan'tfindenoughplantstoeat,theywillstarveorhavetoleave

4.选F。由短文内容可知，如果人们不破坏生态平衡，而顺其自然，则动物的数量不会

有多大的改变。故本题与原文不一致，所以判断此题错误。

5.选T。从短文的最后一句Tokeepthebalanceofnatureisimportantforustoremember.我

中考英语阅读理解•幽默故事

学习不用功可能挨老师的批评，考试不及格可能被父母打屁股，但你听说过有学习不用

功要被钉死在十字架上的吗？本文中的LittleTommy就是这样想的。

LittleTommywasdoingverybadlyinmath.Hisparentshadtriedeverything-tutors（家庭教

LittleTommylookedatherandsaid,“Well,onthefirstdayofschool,whenIsawthatman

根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

I.WhydidTommy'sparentssendhimtoacatholicschool?

A.Becausehecouldeatwellthere.

D.nunsaregoodathelpingchildrenwiththeirmath

【答案及解析】

1.选C。文章第1段说Tommy数学学不好，其父母想尽了一切办法都不奏效，最后将

他送进了一所天主教的教会学校。

2.选D。认真阅读第2段前面几句话，并注意以卜信息：Afterthefirstday,littleTommy

camehome...didn'tkisshismotherhello...washardatwork...withoutaword,可知答案应选Do

3.选A。根据文章大意和Finally,littleTommybroughthomehisreportcard.Hequietlyputit

onthetableandwentuptohisroomandhitthebooks这个句子的语境，可知hitthebooks的意

思是“用功”。

4.选B。Tommy学习一直不用功，但自从进了这所catholicschool之后，情况就不一样

T——整天都发狠读书,结果数学考试也得了A。这是为什么呢？文章在最后道出了其原因：

Well,onthefirstdayofschool,whenIsawthatmannailed（钉）totheplussign（力口号）,Iknew

theyweren^joking.由此可知，Tommy是担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架匕

5.选B。Tommy把themannailedtotheplussign误解为“学习不用功的结果”，从而一改

自己原来不好学的不良习惯，很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见，误解有时也可以起到好的

效果
