Passage One
I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks great on you."
"Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me." We walked along the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director, a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose to love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
"What's the matter?" I asked her.
"Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress. "Do you know something I don't?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well...that checkup I had several weeks ago...our doctor...did he tell you something about me? Tom, you've been so good to me...am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
"No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."
21. In the first paragraph, "no ifs, ands or buts" probably means "________."
A. unintentionally
B. inevitably
C. impressively
D. unconditionally

Passage Two
Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats come into view.
Human needs can be divided into several levels. When one level of needs is satisfied, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this need is satisfied, a second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs had been satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. While the first three levels involve physical satisfaction that is feed, safety and transportation, this fourth level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services which could be regarded as luxurious. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease,
ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to fully enjoy the good things and services on the first four levels.
26. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________.
A. he has saved up enough money
B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C. he has satisfied his hunger
D. he has learned to build houses
正确答案：C
27. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans __________.
A. had been very rich
B. had lived in poverty
C. had had the good things on the first three levels
D. hadn’t owned automobiles
正确答案：D
28. Which of the following is NOT related to "physical satisfaction"?
A. A successful career.
B. A comfortable home.
C. A good meal.
D. A family car.
正确答案：A
29. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?
A. The more goods the better.
B. The more mental satisfaction the better.
C. The more food the better.
D. The more earnings the better.
正确答案：B
30. The author tends to think that the fifth level __________.
A. would be little better than the fourth level
B. may be satisfied through community action
C. can be the most satisfying level
D. will become attainable before the government takes actions
正确答案：B

Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)
Passage One
Many people have pondered the question: What is the meaning of life — why are we here? After much reflection, most conclude that this question is unanswerable. Tragically, some decide that life has little or no meaning. A fortunate few arrive at a place where they say "Yes! I understand. My life does have meaning." They realize that the answer isn't something outside of who they are. The answer is in the nature of their existence.
An individual must live for the sake of his own existence. Altruists deny this fundamental truth. They claim it is selfish and mean to be concerned with one's self-interest. They advocate sacrificing for others. Unfortunately, many unconditionally accept this faulty proposition. They are oblivious to the fact that this belief is illogical.
Is it really better to give than to receive? Most would say yes. What they don't understand is that somebody has to be on the receiving end. Using the "logic" of an altruist the person receiving would have to turn around and give what he received to another. They would pass around the object or value in question like a hot potato. Then it would arrive back at its starting point. So the saying "It is better to give than to receive" is an empty slogan with no basis in reality.
A rationally selfish individual trades value for value. He lives for his own sake. He helps another satisfy their most urgent desires when he treats them as a trader — not as someone he has to give something to — or take something from. An altruist expects people to live for others — sometimes the altruist himself. He demands that people give their lives away. No wonder so many people find little or no satisfaction in their existence. Since they are sacrificing values without receiving any in return, their lives become meaningless.
The rationally selfish individual finds meaning in his existence because he is obtaining values — and that includes spiritual values. He would never purposely sacrifice a higher value for a lower value. Since others benefit when involved in a relationship with him everyone gains values (whether they realize it or not). No wonder the rationally selfish person discovers his life is worthwhile. It is an experience filled with pleasure and ecstasy.
21. What do altruists believe?
A. They believe that people should live for themselves.
B. They believe that people should strive for their own interests.
C. They believe that people should sacrifice their own interests for others.
D. They believe that people emphasize on receiving rather than giving.
正确答案：C
22. What makes "it is better to give than receive" unrealistic?
A. It is impossible to ask everyone to sacrifice his own interest to others.
B. It is impossible to expect people to live for others.
C. It is impossible that all the people are giving something but nobody is receiving it.
D. It is impossible to expect people to give up their own values for some higher ones.
正确答案：C
23. What would a rationally selfish individual do?
A. A rationally selfish individual would discover his life is worthwhile by only giving.
B. A rationally selfish individual would merely obtain material values in his existence.
C. A rationally selfish individual would expect other people to live for him.
D. A rationally selfish individual would be concerned with his or her own life.
正确答案：D
24. Why are so many people not satisfied with their life?
A. Because they can't benefit from sacrificing their values.
B. Because they can't find out the meaning of their life.
C. Because they don't want to sacrifice their values for others.
D. Because they have to give their lives away for some higher values.
正确答案：A
25. According to the passage, what should we do to make our life filled with pleasure and satisfaction?
A. Learn how to give without receiving.
B. Learn how to sacrifice for other people.
C. Learn how to live for yourself.
D. Learn how to be involved with other people.
正确答案：C
Passage Two
Adversities are a part of living, and we choose the way we react to each adversity in our lives. I would be the last to deny that adversities can be exceedingly difficult. Many times they will be senseless, unfair, painful, and beyond our control to prevent. However, they come into our lives for a reason. We can choose to learn valuable lessons from each adversity we encounter. Marvin J. Ashton said, "Adversity will surface in every life. How we meet it makes the difference."
Tough times, events, and circumstances can teach us much about ourselves and other people. They bring us face to face with our honesty, integrity, sense of personal responsibility, and ways of dealing with life's blows. Initially, we want to bury our hurt and grief deeply inside rather than experiencing painful emotions. However, before the pain and grief will subside, we must pick up the pieces. We must fully move through these feelings of discouragement, grief, and pain, allowing ourselves complete emotional expression before the pain will ease its hold.
In the process of allowing ourselves to feel our emotions completely, we learn valuable life lessons. We also discover how resilient and strong we are at any given point in our life. If we look closely at each adversity, we become wiser to life's ways, our ways, and people's ways. Each adversity we encounter can bring new insight into human nature.
As tough as life's lessons sometimes are, each holds the seed of an equal or greater blessing, a pathway to new growth as a human being. It is our responsibility to learn each lesson. Otherwise, we will be handed a more difficult scenario of the same lesson again. The lessons we are meant to learn will reappear until we learn them completely.
The more difficult the adversity is, the more valuable will be the lessons it offers to teach. By exercising faith in a power greater than ourselves, we discover we are not alone in any adversity. We learn to see blessings appear — sometimes years later — that we would not have received had we not been handed tough times.
26. What does Marvin J. Ashton mean according to the first paragraph?
A. Tough times and difficulties would appear everyday.
B. People should know how to meet adversities.
C. It is natural for us to encounter adversities, but the essential part is how we react to them.
D. Different people may have different ways to conquer adversities.
正确答案：C
27. What would usually be our first reactions to difficulties?
A. We would experience feelings of discouragement, pain and grief.
B. We would face these difficulties with honesty and sense of personal responsibility.
C. We would let ourselves feel our emotions completely.
D. We would not show our feelings of sadness and pain.
正确答案：D
28. Which of the following CANNOT be learnt from adversities?
A. A better understanding of human nature.
B. A sense of personal responsibility.
C. A better understanding of ourselves and other people.
D. A better way to express our emotions.
正确答案：D

Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)
Passage One
Today, there are many avenues open to those who wish to continue their education. However, nearly all require some break in one's career in order to attend school full time.
Part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one's career and family time.
Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method which allows a student the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals which are so necessary in today's world.
The time required to study may be set aside at the student's convenience with due regard
to the other requirements in his or her life. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet.
Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. This precludes the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance learning program is the equivalence of the distance learning course with the same subject materials to the course on the home campus. The diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor-student relationship is another characteristic of a good distance learning program. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual student but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education.
21. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part-time education?
A. It requires some break in one's career.
B. It tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program.
C. It affects one's career.
D. It gives the student less time to share with the family.
正确答案：A
22. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of distance learning?
A. The student has to learn courses in different places in the world.
B. The student may study at any time to his or her convenience.
C. They can pursue their chosen career while studying.
D. Their tutorial assistance comes through regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, etc.
正确答案：A
23. What benefit will distance learning program bring to a business?
A. Recruitment of more talented people.
B. Good image of the business.
C. Better cooperation with universities.
D. Further training of employees and business growth.
正确答案：D
24. Good distance learning programs have the following characteristics EXCEPT that ____________.
A. distance learning course is the same as the courses taken on campus
B. the diploma or degree should be same as that of on-campus study
C. professor-student relationship is strictly one to one all through the course
D. it includes subject evaluation tool
正确答案：C
25. What benefit will distance learning bring to an employee of a business?
A. Professional growth.
B. Good relationship with the employer.
C. Good impression on the employer.
D. Higher salary.
正确答案：A
Passage Two
Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a "Green Labeling" study published by Consumers International.
Among the report's more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings, a German fertilizer described itself as "earthworm friendly", a brand of flour said it was "non-polluting" and a British toilet paper claimed to be "environmentally friendlier".
The study was written and researched by Britain's National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.
"While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy," said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.
The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.
The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent (洗涤剂), insect sprays and some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.
Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards. "Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing," said report researcher Philip Page.
"Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading," he said.
The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as "environmentally friendly" and "non-polluting" cannot be verified. "What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO," said Page.
26. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ______.
A. all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standards
B. the claims made by products are often unclear or deceiving
C. consumers would believe many of the manufactures' claim
D. few products actually prove to be environmentally friendly
正确答案：B
27. As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ___.
A. are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buy
B. are still not willing to pay more for products with green labeling
C. are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environment
D. still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment
正确答案：D
28. A study was carried out by Britain's NCC to _______.

语文课外阅读试题 1、愿母亲的微笑永驻 我爱哭。委屈时哭，高兴时哭；取得一点点成绩时快乐地哭，偶遇挫折时伤心地哭。妈妈常无可奈何地说：“你这孩子简直就是用泪水喂大的。真没办法。” 是呀，没办法。我真是佩服妈妈，因为妈妈从来不哭。 妈妈的胳膊骨折了，钻心的疼痛使她双眉紧蹙（cù），但她没有哭；那年闹旱灾，家里种的庄稼一大半绝收，妈妈双眼直直地盯着天空，但她没哭。我轻轻地说：“妈妈，哭了您心里会好受些。”可妈妈缓缓地摇了摇头说：“大人流汗，流血，不流泪。” 是的，妈妈流汗、流血，却不流泪。 不常流泪的人流泪是痛苦的，那是她的心在流血呀！我爱妈妈，我不愿让她流泪、流汗、流血。可是，哎…… 妈妈看着成绩单，不相信地说：“考得这么差？”我低下头，默认了。“为什么？”妈妈的声音提高了。为什么？因为上课没听讲，那时我在玩随身带的小物件；因为作业没有做，自习时我在看小说；因为……可是我能这样说吗？一霎时，我像又看到了炎炎烈日下妈妈额头的汗珠，如墨的夜里妈妈浇地时的孤独身影……“我，我……”我多想找个充分的理由啊，可我怎么能欺骗妈妈！“妈妈！”惭愧吞噬着我的心。泪，如断了线的珠子纷纷落下。“哎，你一点也不体谅父母啊！”妈妈哽咽了。我抬起头，（A）第一次看见妈妈清瘦的脸上挂着两颗晶莹的泪珠！啊，妈妈哭了！我怕了，抱着妈妈的胳膊，哭得更凶了。妈妈啊，原谅女儿吧，愿这泪能抚平您心的伤痕！女儿会努力的…… 从那至今，我再没有流过泪；我要像妈妈一样，流汗、流血、不流泪。我要用辛勤的汗水，用滚烫的血织成一条彩带，一头连着妈妈，一头连着我。 现在，妈妈又在为我缝棉衣了。“慈母手中线，游子身上衣。临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。”我轻轻地走到妈妈跟前，悄悄递上一杯热茶。妈妈抬起头，（B）脸上绽开了春晖似的笑容。啊，妈妈好美！ 一霎时，我心中升起一个渴望：我愿以终生的努力换取这微笑，愿它永驻妈妈脸上。 25、给下列加点字注音。（3分）

飘香的生命 突然，觉得办公室内流动着一股熟悉的香味，很熟悉，却一时想不起来是什么香味。开始，还以为是某个同事身上的香水味。可一个个挨着猛嗅了一番，却都不是。这时，有人提醒：“这是桂花香吧。” 这才恍然醒悟，这确实是桂花香啊！于是，赶到室外，走到立在人行道旁的桂树旁。果然，一股浓烈的幽香沁人心脾，激荡魂魄。再仔细瞧去，在那密密的树叶后面，那些米粒大小的嫩黄的花儿正如天空的星星闪烁，却又十分静谧，毫无张扬之意。 瞧着瞧着，我的眼睛就湿润了。这些惹人怜爱的小东西，竟在偷偷地飘香，飘香了还像什么都发生似的，静静地立在枝头，等着悄悄的凋零。我们如不仔细瞧，还不知道它已经到过这个世界，已经香过这个世界。这时，我的思绪触到一个最温柔的记忆，那是上中学时一个同学讲的故事。 当时，这个同学家里很穷，为了省电，他每天晚自习后十一点钟才回家，而那时，学校的大门也在他走后一段时间才缓缓地关上。他一直以为大门是要到那个时候才关的，因此春夏秋冬，他天天如此，从不觉得有什么不妥。直到有一天，他被锁在校园内过了一夜，他才知道学校大门是十点钟就关的，而原来关门的老大爷生病住院了。直到那时他才明白，老大爷一直在默默地为他开着方便之门。当他流着泪买了一大堆礼品去看老大爷时，老大爷已经去世了…… 听完这个故事，我们许多人的眼睛都湿润了，为了那个默默行善的老人。我们的心湿漉漉的，因为在那一刻，我们才醒悟，其实我们每个人身旁都有那个开门的老人，在为我们开着方便之门，他们就像这小小的嫩黄的桂花，悄悄地释放着幽香，然后悄悄地凋零。 他们不张扬，是因为他们的生命本就是如此啊！ 1、给下列加下划线的字注音。（4分） 嗅（）沁（）人心脾凋（）零静谧（） 2、把下面的陈述句改成反问句。（2分） 听完这个故事，我们许多人的眼睛都湿润了。 3、照样子把成语补充完整（4分） 例：口是心非 顾（）失（）扬（）避（）若（）若（）严（）酷（） 4、第三自然段中画线句在文中起什么作用？（3分） 5、“我们许多人的眼睛都湿润了”和“我们的心湿漉漉的”，其原因分别是什么？（4分） 6、《飘香的生命》写出了作者对生命的什么感悟？（3分） 我的小河（节选） 小河又是地球母亲最珍爱的女儿。她A的身躯绝禁不起淤塞的折磨和污染的强暴。可令我不安的是，小河也往往难逃B了。流经城市的小河，往往也出现了污染，她们被迫吞咽着污垢，一些飘浮物随波逐流，玷污了小河清白的面容；还有一些人，自以为高明，把小河的水抽干，把河床用水泥砌起来，如同一个温柔美丽的少女，硬给她穿上一层厚厚而又冰冷的盔甲。小河于是就切断了与大地母亲的血脉，而变成了一个池子，一个地沟。人们还不时在小河上加个橡皮坝之类的营生，把一条完整的小河切成一段一段的格子。如今，清澈美丽的小河越来越少了，不是被肢解，就是被渠化，而地处偏远的小河，随着人类的涉足，也面临着污染的威胁。 期待有一天，人类将停止一切污染的恶行，学会与大自然héxié（）相处。

《小说阅读中的人物形象》说课稿 长岭一中王春彦 各位领导，老师大家好： 首先感谢学校能把这次讲课的机会给我，虽然在完成这一任务的过程中经历了不少的困惑和煎熬，但自己也得到锻炼和成长。为了更好的完成这节课，在试讲过程中得到了张校长、王校长和王月琴老师的指点，尤其是王老师为我的这节课花费了不少心思，在细节上提出了很多宝贵的意见，本组的几位老师也提出了中肯意见和建议，在此，我对大家的真诚帮助表示衷心的感谢。下面我就本节课的具体内容和教学设计来简单的说一说自己的想法。 首先说课标。我把本节课的学习目标定为：知识目标：熟练掌握人物描写的方法，懂得这些方法对表现人物的作用。能力目标：能根据人物描写分析人物性格，提升自己感受文学作品的能力。情感目标：认真观察生活，热爱生活，做生活的有心人。我想通过本节课的学习，让学生学到分析人物的方法，并有意让学生多了解小说选段以外的内容，希望能对学生阅读名著起到一定的引领作用。 二、说教法。从教学流程来看，我先从学生以前接触的小说作品中筛选出经典的形象，让学生复习巩固描写人物的基本方法和各种描写人物方法的作用，起到学法引领的作用。
具体流程﹙一﹚，分析闰土、胡屠户等几个人物形象，让学生体会运用都运用了哪些描写方法，然后阶段小结描写人物的方法：外貌，动作，语言，心理，神态，细节等。然后向学生明确各种描写方法的作用。 ﹙二﹚，以《探监》一课为例，分析聂赫留朵夫和玛丝洛娃的形象，走进人物内心世界。这一环节我采用了小组合作探究的学习模式，有助于培养学习互助学习的习惯。我设计了四个问题，把学生分成四组分别承担四个问题。这四个问题的设计也是环环相扣的，引领学生逐步深入探寻小说人物的性格，进一步领会小说题目《复活》的真正内涵，从而达到引领学生阅读的目的。这四个问题是这样设计：A组，语言描写。问题探究：两位主人公的矛盾冲突是怎样造成的？从玛丝洛娃的语言描写中反映了她怎样的内心世界？ B组，神态描写。问题探究：文中写到了玛丝洛娃的三次微笑，对塑造人物有什么作用？ C组，聂赫留朵夫的心理描写。问题探究：作者为什么要大段描写聂赫留朵夫内心的矛盾挣扎？ D组，玛丝洛娃的心理描写。阅读这段心理描写，你觉得聂赫留朵夫在其心中占有什么样的地位？ ﹙三﹚小结今天我们通过分析两位主人公精彩的描写，领悟到托翁作品的博大精深。作者精彩独到的人物描写得益于对生活认真的观察，对人生独特的思索，更来源于作者严谨的创作态度。据说作者对玛丝洛娃的一次肖像描写，就先后修改了20次。通过本课学习，我们知道了，只有认真观察生活，认真思考，学会把
小说阅读——插叙作用 一、定义 插叙——是在叙述中心事件的过程中，为了帮助展开情节或刻画人物，暂时中断叙述的线索，插入一段与主要情节相关的内容，然后再接着叙述原来的内容。（它往往出现在文章的中间部分。） 二、插叙的作用： 1.补充、交代……内容情节，丰富了文章内容，使情节更完整，或使情节波澜起伏，结构更紧凑。 2.更好的突出人物……性格，衬托人物……的品质。 3.推动情节发展，为下文……作铺垫。 4.突出文章……主题。 三、插叙的方式 1.联想式——就是通过作品中人物的联想引起插叙部分。 2.转述式——即借助作品中人物的叙说进行插叙。这种方式往往用“听人说”、“据说”、“有人说”等引入插叙。 3.直述式——就是不借助作品中任何人的口述或联想，直接在文中插叙一件事，多用“原来”、“过去”这些表时间概念的词来引入插叙部分。 四、常考题型 1.第＊段运用的插叙，它在文中的作用是什么？ 2. 有人认为，文中第＊段的内容可删掉，你认为呢？ 3. 从记叙顺序看，第＊段是，作用是。 五、答题技巧 第一步，根据文段内容，判断该段是否使用了插叙。 第二步，判断并概括该文段插叙了什么内容。 第三步，结合插叙的内容，判断它在文中的作用。（可参考“插叙”的作用，具体问题具体分析，作用可能不止一方面） ★答题套路：交代……内容，（推动情节发展，）为下文……作铺垫，突出/衬托人物……性格/品质，突出文章……主题。 六、典型文章回顾 1.《羚羊木雕》中的第17－22段中，为什么要写我和万芳的情况？ 明确：写出了我和万芳真挚纯真的友谊和万芳是个仗义的朋友，从而交代了我把羚羊木雕送给她的直接原因。 2.《爸爸的花儿落了》文章是随着主人公起伏的思潮而记叙下来的，所以文章采用插叙手法，时而写眼前的事，时而又回忆往事，使文章显得波澜起伏，跌宕有致。作者每次忆述往事，都是由眼前的事引发的。 如：文章开篇用衣襟上的粉红色夹竹桃——引出前一天去医院探望爸爸时的情形； 通过忆述探病时爸爸说的一番话，特别是嘱咐她不要迟到——引出六年前因赖床不起受
一、阅读下面的文章 , 完成下列各题。 （一） 我曾给学生讲过一个发生在我朋友身上的真实故事一一朋友在外地工作,常年不回家,母亲盼呀盼,终于得到儿子要在除夕之夜回到家里的喜讯。那天,在爆竹声中,母亲包好了三鲜馅儿的饺子,专等着儿子回来后下锅。馅是精心调的,应该正对儿子的胃口。但是,母亲心里还是有一些忐忑,她想预先知道这饺子的咸淡,便煮了两个来品尝。一尝之下,母亲大惊失色,饺子馅儿里竟然忘了放盐!母亲看着两屉包好的饺子,绝望至极。她知道可以让儿子蘸着酱油吃,她也知道即使蘸着酱油吃,儿子也会欢呼“好吃死了”, 可她不愿意让千里迢迢赶回来的儿子吃到有缺陷的饺子, 怎么办?这个聪慧的母亲,居然从邻居那里讨来了一支注射器,调好了盐水,开始逐个给饺子“打针”儿子回到家里,饺子也注射完毕。母亲煮好了饺子,让儿子尝尝味道如何。儿子尝了,连说“好吃”。这时候,母亲得意地举起那支注射器给儿子看,向儿子夸耀说,她 ,可以将一个缺陷修复得让他察觉不出来。可是,儿子听着听着就哭了,他在想,这些年他一个人在外面打拼,也曾吃过很多饺子,那些饺子,咸的咸，淡的淡，他都咽下去了，有谁能像母亲这样在意他的口味？为了让儿子吃到咸淡适宜的饺子，母亲竟想出了这样高妙的法子。吃着这交织着母亲的爱与智慧的饺子，哪个孩子能不动容？ 我多么欣慰，几年前，我将这样一个暖心的故事植入了孩子们的心田，我本不指望收获什么的，甚至以为那些听故事的人很快就会将它淡忘了。但是，这个同学居然能把这则故事铭记这么久！我相信，铭记着这则故事的人会珍惜母亲做的每一餐饭，会在寡淡的饭菜中品出一种难得的真味与厚味。母亲摆出一场爱的盛宴，只等着她心爱的小鸟来啄。幸福的小鸟啊，你无须刷卡，只管欢畅地啄食、尽情地享用这人间的珍馐吧。 1.整体感知文章内容，在_______________________上为文章你写一个简洁的标题。 2.“可是,儿子听着听着就哭了”，儿子吃到了饺子，饺子的缺陷也几乎无法察觉。可是，儿子为什么哭呢？ 3.细读文章，你是如何理解文中母亲的“智”的？ 4.下面两个问题，任选一题作答。 （1）文中横线处，“难得的真味与厚味”指的是什么？ （2）文中横线处，“这人间的珍馐”指的是什么？ 5.作者通过什么方式揭示了文章的主题？ 6.有人说：亲情是一种深度，友情是一种广度，爱情是一种纯度，而母爱无价。结合文章内容及自己的亲身感受，谈谈你对母爱的理解。

小升初现代文阅读训练试题 1、阅读下文，完成1-5题。 不速之客 ⑴在乡村，许多人家都把车停在屋外的车道上，我和丈夫乔恩则喜欢把车停在车库里。我猜那个男孩的想法是：这户人家屋外没车，里面的人肯定外出了。 ⑵那天，乔恩和我恰好呆在家里，与我俩在一起的还有我家那条懒惰的猎犬艾德。最初是艾德觉察到了什么，而后乔恩和我听到厨房里有动静。我俩满腹狐疑地互相看了一眼，接着听到脚步声从厨房里传出，随后穿过起居室，进入靠南的一个小房间。我和乔恩正坐在那个房间里看报纸。猛然间，我俩与那名不速之客打了个照面。这是一名八九岁的小男孩，瘦瘦的，一头浅黄色头发。他显然没料到我们会在屋里，一时目瞪口呆。 ⑶“啊，我……我没有……”他支支吾吾地说。 ⑷乔恩问他：“你在找什么？” ⑸“我在……我没……我进来是想看看时间的。哎，请问几点了？” ⑹乔恩回答：“9点30分。可你总是这样不敲门就进人家的屋吗？” ⑺“我以为屋里没人。我想知道是什么时间，因为……我想回家，我得走了。” ⑻他不安地看着我俩，同时试探性地一点点往后退，似乎怕乔恩冲过去把他揪住。我和乔恩只是坐在那里瞅着他，后来听到他走出起居室，出了屋门之后将门关上了。 ⑼与乔恩谈起这个年幼的不速之客，我说：“如果他是想偷什么东西的话，这儿可没他感兴趣的。哎呀，我有一美元硬币放在厨房冰箱上，”我走进厨房。“唉，那一美元不见了。这可不行。咱们受到了侵犯，以后在家时，要不要把门锁起来？现在我们怎么办？要不要跟警察说一声？” ⑽“就因为那小男孩？没什么。他准是附近哪个农庄的孩子，没必要追究，”乔恩宽慰我，“我小时候也不是一下子就能分清是非好坏。要知道，大人讲的那一套对是对，但孩子没亲身经历过就不会留下印象。我觉得这个男孩会认识到自己的错误。没见过像他那样害怕的。” ⑾但我总不能释怀，心想以后一定留意着那男孩。 ⑿几周后的一个早晨，有车子停在我家门外的车道上，一名陌生女子下车向我家走来。 ⒀“有一只狗在我家农场附近转悠，我怕它是无人要的野狗，也许会伤人，想射杀它。可我儿子告诉我，他知道这只狗是你们家的，而且性情温和，所以我们把它带回给你们。”她冲我说道。 ⒁车后门打开了，一个男孩牵着艾德走了出来。浅黄色的头发，瘦瘦的身材，正是拿走一美元硬币的那个小男孩。此刻他在笑吟吟地看着我。 ⒂我感到有些意外，走近小男孩，我说：“谢谢你。”“哦，我该谢谢你们。”小男孩微笑着说道，一边向我主动伸过手来。我连忙握住他的小手，忽然感觉有什么硬邦邦的东西塞到了我的手心。还没等我完全反应过来，他已迅速跑回车内，挥手向我告别。 ⒃看着手心那枚锃亮的一美元硬币，我感到有些歉疚。我想，虽然我不知他的姓名，他也不晓得我叫什么，但我们都从对方那里学到了点有价值的东西。 1．“不速之客”是什么意思？为什么说小男孩是“不速之客”？ ____________________________________________________________________ 2．乔恩为什么决定不去追究小男孩的偷窃行为？ ____________________________________________________________________ 3．你觉得小男孩有哪些优点？请至少说出两条来，并简要说明他的具体表现。

小升初阅读题库及答案 永生的眼睛 1965年炎夏的一天，母亲被突如其来的一场疾病夺去了生命，年仅36岁。下午，一位警官来访，是为医院要取用母亲的眼睛角膜而征求父亲的意见。我惊呆了，不明白医生们为什么要把母亲的角膜给（gěi jǐ）予他人，而父亲居然回答"可以”。 我痛苦万分，"你怎么能让他们这样对待妈妈！"我冲着父亲哭喊，"妈妈完整地来到这个世界上，也应该完整地离去。”“琳达，”父亲平静地搂着我，“你所能给予他人最珍贵的东西,莫过于你自身的一部分。许多年前，你妈妈和我就认为，如果我们的死亡之躯能够有助于他人健康的恢复，那我们的死就是有意义的。我们早已决定死后捐赠器官了。”父亲的话语给我上了一生最珍贵的一课。// 许多年过去了，我结了婚并有了自己的家。1980年，父亲患了严重的肺气肿，搬来和我们同住。他愉快地告诉我，他死后要捐赠所有尚完好的器官，尤其是眼睛。“哦，如果一个盲童能够借助我的眼睛重见光明，并能像你的女儿小温迪一样画出栩栩如生的马儿，那该多美妙啊！”温迪自幼酷爱画马，作品屡屡得奖。“哦，想想，另一对父母如果看到他们的女儿也像小温迪一样，将会多高兴啊！”父亲说，“当你们得知我的眼睛起了作用，那你们将会多自豪！” 我把父亲的遗愿告诉了温迪。孩子热泪盈眶，过去紧紧拥抱着外公。她14岁，恰恰是当年我首次听说捐赠器官时的年龄。 这一年的一天，父亲与世长辞了，我们遵照他的遗愿捐赠了他的眼睛。温迪告诉我妈妈我真为你为外公所做的一切感到骄傲哦这令你骄傲吗我问当然你想想什么也看不见会有多痛苦啊我死以后也要学外公把眼睛送给失明的人噢，在这一刻，我领悟了父亲所留下的远非是一副角膜，他所遗留的是辉映在我女儿眼睛里的一种骄傲！那一天我紧紧地拥抱着温迪。// 没有想到，两周以后，我漂亮的女儿，才华横溢的小温迪，在一次交通事故中丧生了……我又一次为器官捐赠组织签署了同意书。在我签字的时候，她的话儿仍然萦绕(láo rào)在我耳际“你想过什么也看不见会有多痛苦吗？” 失去温迪三周以后，我收到一封来自奥力根勇敢者角膜中心的信。信上写道：“角膜移植非常成功。现在，两位昔日盲人已经重见光明。他们已成为您女儿--一位极其热爱生命的女孩的活的纪念，并有幸分享着她的美丽…… 这时，我仿佛看到，我的金发的温迪手中的画笔依然不停地挥动着，她的碧眼里

小升初阅读理解试题经典及解析 一、小升初语文阅读理解训练 1． 一千张糖纸 铁凝 ①那是小学一年级的暑假里，我去外婆家住。正是七岁八岁狗都嫌的年龄，加之隔壁一个叫世香的女孩子，跑来和我做朋友，我们的种种游戏使外婆更不安宁了。笑呀，闹呀，四合院里到处充满我们的声音。 ②表姑在外婆家里养病，她被闹得坐不住了。天，她对我们说：“你们怎么就不知道累呢？”我和世香相互看看，没名堂地笑起来。是啊，什么叫累呢？我们从没想过。累，离我们多么遥远啊。有时听大人们说：“噢，累死我了。”他们累是因为他们是大人呀。当我们终于不笑了，表姑又说：“世香呀，你不是有一些糖纸吗，你们为什么不去找一些漂亮的糖纸，多好玩呀。”我想起世香是向我炫耀过，她那几十张美丽的糖纸。可我既不喜欢糖纸，也不觉得找糖纸有什么好玩。世香却来了兴致，“您为什么要我们攒糖纸呢？”“攒够一千张糖纸，表姑就能换给你一只电动狗，会汪汪叫的那一种。” ③我和世香惊呆了。电动狗也许不被今天的孩子所稀奇，但在我的童年，表姑的许诺足以使我们激动很久。那是怎样一笔财富，那是怎样一份快乐！ ④从此我和世香不再吵吵闹闹，外婆的四合院也安静如初。我们走街串巷，寻找被遗弃在墙角里的糖纸。那时候，糖纸并不是随处可见的，有时候，我们会追着一张随风飘舞的糖纸，追个老半天。我和世香的零花钱都用来买糖，这样，也只能买几十颗。然后我们突击吃糖，嗓子让糖狗得生疼。我们还在糖果柜台边，耐心地守候带孩子来买糖吃的大人，一张糖纸就是一点希望呀！ ⑤我们把又脏又皱的糖纸，泡在脸盆里仔细把它们洗干净然后一张张贴在玻璃窗上，等揭下来，糖纸平整如新。暑假就要结束了，我和世香每人都攒够了一千张糖纸。 ⑥一个下午，我们跑到表姑跟前，献上了两千张糖纸，表姑不解地问：“你们这是干什么呀？”“狗呢，欠的电动狗呢？”表姑愣了一下，接着就笑起来，笑得上气不接下气，待她不笑了才说：“表姑逗着你们玩哪，嫌你们老在园子里闹，不得清静。”世香看了我一眼，眼里满是悲愤和绝望，我觉得还有对我的蔑视，毕竟，这个逗我们玩的大人是我的表姑啊！ ⑦这时，我突然觉得很累。原未大人们常说的累，就是胸膛里的那颗心突然加重了。我和世香走出院子，我俩不约而同地，把那精心整理过的糖纸奋力扔向天空，任它们像彩蝶随风 飘去。 ⑧我长大了，每逢看见“欺骗”这个词，总是马上联想起那一千张糖纸——孩子是可以批评的，孩子是可以责怪的，但孩子是不可以欺骗的，欺骗是最深重的伤害。 ⑨我已经长大成人，可是所有大人不都是从孩童时代走来的吗？ 1.请围绕“糖纸”这一线索，补充完整相关情节。 表姑让我们攒糖纸→→→抛酒糖纸发泄悲愤 2.第②段和第⑦段加点的词“累”的含义是否相同？为什么？
