Question

【題目】 In 1996, Subaru Takaiashi sailed alone across the Pacific Ocean. Many other people did this before Subaru, but he was special. At 14, he was the youngest person to sail across the Pacific by himself.

Subaru left Tokyo on 23 July, 1996. His boat was 30 feet (9 metres) long. In the boat, he had a two-month supply of food and water. He also had a radio and other modern equipment for sailing.

The beginning of this trip went very well. Subaru often talked to his parents by radio. He didn't have any problems with his boat. Then on 11 August, the engine in his boat quit. This affected his navigation(導(dǎo)航)equipment. Then five days later, his radio quit. So he wasn't able to communicate with anyone. And he was still 2,770 miles (4,490 kilometres) away from his destination-San Francisco.

By the end of August, many people believed that Subaru was lost. No one was able to contact him by radio. His parents expected him to arrive in San Francisco on 3 September, but he didn't. Then, on 13 September, Subaru sailed into San Francisco. After 55 days in his boat, his trip was finally over.

Many people believe that Subaru was too young to sail alone. They say that parents shouldn't allow children to make such dangerous trips. However, other people say that children should have adventures, too.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】

本文介紹了Subaru Takaiashi獨(dú)自橫穿太平洋。他和其他獨(dú)自橫穿太平洋的人相比，是與眾不同的。因?yàn)樗�是年齡最小的。人們認(rèn)為他太小不能獨(dú)自橫渡太平洋，他們說(shuō)父母不應(yīng)該讓他去做。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) Subaru left Tokyo和 Subaru Takaiashi sailed alone across the Pacific Ocean 兩句可推測(cè)，當(dāng)斯巴魯離開(kāi)東京時(shí)，他的父母沒(méi)有在船上，故選B。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)后面的This affected his navigation(導(dǎo)航)equipment可知，這影響了他的航行(導(dǎo)航)設(shè)備，可推測(cè)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)停止運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)了，所以quit是“�！钡囊馑�，故選A。

【3】數(shù)據(jù)計(jì)算題。根據(jù)8月11日，船的引擎壞了，5天之后，他的無(wú)線(xiàn)電也停止了工作。此時(shí)的他已不能和任何人進(jìn)行溝通，一直到8月底，很多人都相信斯巴魯已經(jīng)失蹤了。沒(méi)有一個(gè)人能通過(guò)無(wú)線(xiàn)電和他取得聯(lián)系 ，最后到了9月13號(hào)，斯巴魯才到達(dá)舊金山�？芍獜�8月16日到9月13號(hào)接近4個(gè)星期的時(shí)間里斯巴魯無(wú)法與人交流 ，故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù) They say that parents shouldn't allow children to make such dangerous trips. However, other people say that children should have adventures 他們說(shuō)，他的父母不應(yīng)該讓他們的孩子進(jìn)行如此危險(xiǎn)的旅行。然而，另一些人卻認(rèn)為，孩子應(yīng)當(dāng)有冒險(xiǎn)精神. 可知不同的人對(duì)斯巴魯高橋獨(dú)自航行有不同的看法，故選C。

閱讀理解重點(diǎn)題型和解答技巧：

1 直接信息理解題

考生通過(guò)閱讀短文，可以直接從閱讀材料中找到這類(lèi)問(wèn)題的答案�？疾榈姆矫嬗校菏录�發(fā)生的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、原因、方式、過(guò)程、結(jié)局、人物之間的關(guān)系、事件之間的關(guān)系、詞義和句意等。直接信息題的擬題手段單一，常常針對(duì)文章中某個(gè)容易產(chǎn)生誤解的關(guān)鍵詞句或概念，通過(guò)一些移花接木的偽裝手段組成是非辨別選擇題。這種類(lèi)型的閱讀理解題難度較小，屬淺層理解題。如第一題，問(wèn)主人公船上沒(méi)帶什么？在首段首句In 1996, Subaru Takaiashi sailed alone across the Pacific Ocean. 看得出來(lái)關(guān)鍵詞是alone，表示是孤身一人，沒(méi)有帶任何人。

2 詞句意義理解題

也叫轉(zhuǎn)換理解題。它主要是通過(guò)同義轉(zhuǎn)換的方式來(lái)考查對(duì)閱讀材料中一些關(guān)鍵性詞句是如何理解的，試題屬于用詞匯替換、句型轉(zhuǎn)換手段對(duì)短文原句釋義，難度也較小，也屬淺層理解題。此類(lèi)題在近年中考閱讀理解試題中屢見(jiàn)不鮮，占有相當(dāng)大的比例。

3 邏輯推理判斷題

此題型要求考生綜觀(guān)全文，在匯集全文提供的各項(xiàng)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)行正確的邏輯推理，推斷作者的意向；人物的動(dòng)機(jī)、目的、性格特征；事件的前因后果；語(yǔ)言中的語(yǔ)態(tài)、語(yǔ)氣等。近年來(lái)中考強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)考生進(jìn)行閱讀理解能力的考查，因而推理判斷式的深層理解題量增大。這就要求我們?cè)谕ㄗx全文、弄懂全文的基礎(chǔ)上，抓住文章的關(guān)鍵字句，深入挖掘和分析文章的內(nèi)容。

4 歸納概括題

此題型要求考生在理解全文后歸納短文大意，概括中心思想，或選擇短文的恰切標(biāo)題。這些大都暗含在文章中。不過(guò)，也有些文章一開(kāi)頭便展示出文章的主題，尤其是新聞報(bào)道類(lèi)，在文章各段落開(kāi)頭的一句往往就是主題句，用來(lái)概括該段的中心思想。但不少文章或段落中之中心思想貫穿在全文中。必須具備一定的歸納和概括能力，才能選對(duì)答案。因此，此類(lèi)題有些屬于深層理解的檔次。
