辽宁卷 阅读理解之记叙文（解析版）-2024年中考英语临考押题

押辽宁卷第5-8题阅读理解之记叙文

------------------1命题探究I------------------

中/考/命/题/预/测

今年辽宁省实行统一命题，阅读理解分二节，阅读单选和阅读还原，占笔试部分总分90分中40分，

因此阅读理解是中考试题的“重中之重”。分析近几年的中考试题特别是一模试题,对我们复习有较大的帮助。

阅读题共有五个篇章，每个篇章为四道题，其中一篇应用文，二篇说明文，一篇记叙文。一篇为阅读还原。

记叙文的时候先将事情发生的时间、地点，人物弄清楚。然后了解事件发生经过。英语记叙文以描写

叙述为主，主要描写人物、事件、地点、或过程。记叙文设题大多以细节理解为主，升华事件从中得到启

发也可以设置主旨大意题。

13.推理判断题。根据第一段"However,thereisaspecialliondanceteaminatownofGuangzhou.Itis

completelymadeupofteenagegirlsandtheteamstandsoutamongalltheteams.”可矢口，在广州，——支由十几岁

的女孩组成特殊的舞狮队脱颖而出；据此可推断，十几岁的女孩也可以练习舞狮。故选B。

14.细节理解题。根据第二段"Thecoach,ZhangZheliang,saidthatsomepeopledidn'tbelievetheteenagegirls

coulddowellinliondance.”可知，有些人不相信十几岁的女孩能跳好舞狮，②”有些人怀疑少女的能力。“排

第一；根据第二段“Theythoughtgirls'practicingliondancedidn'tfollowthetradition.ThatmadeZhangrealize

thesituationforgirlswasdifficult,buthedidn'tgiveup.”可知，张教练意识到女孩们处境很艰难，但他没有放

弃，③“张意识到了女孩们的困境。”排第二；根据第二段“Hesetupawomen'steam.”可知，他成立了女子队，

①“张成立了一支女队。”排第三；再根据第二段“Thenhedesignedflagswiththename'women'steam5onthem

andmadepinklionheads.”可知，他设计了旗帜，并制作了粉红色的狮子头，④”张设计旗帜，制作粉红狮子

头。”排第四，因此顺序为②③①④。故选C。

15.词义猜测题。根据第三段“Thenextyear,thegirlsonceagainclinchedthetopprizeinthejuniorgroupinthe

16thGuangdongProvincialGames.Theyprovedthemselvestobeexcellent.”可矢口，女孩们证明她们自己是优秀

的，也就是说她们在广东省第16届运动会上，再次获得了少年组第一名；据此可推断划线单词“clinched”

意为“获得“，与won同义。故选Ao

【解析】本文主要讲述了作者年幼的时候照看弟弟的故事。有次他带着弟弟去找妈妈，把弟弟的一只鞋丢

了，准备放下弟弟去找鞋子的时候，一个陌生人帮助了他，告诉他人比鞋更重要。

5.细节理解题。根据句子“Hewassoyoungandreallyneededmum.”可知，因为弟弟想妈妈，所以他哭着找妈

临/考/抢/分/宝/典

记叙文主题往往潜伏在字里行间，没有直接地表白出来；文章主旨要透过体察所揭示的人物、事件来

进行提炼。描写手法大多按时间跨度、空间顺序、上下顺序来展开。阅读记叙文体应采取略读和扫读的方

法，快速抓住文中描写的主要内容，从整体上去把握文章的连贯性，进而大体上揣测出作者的写作意图及

情感主线。中考阅读就记叙文设题大多以细节理解为主。

做细节理解题时，不必通篇细看原文，而常常可采取“带着问题找答案”的方法.先从问题中抓住关键

性词语。然后以此为线索。要快速地辨认和记忆事实或细节，就要恰当地运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文

章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句.仔细品味，对照比较.确定答案。
