2019中考英语阅读理解编习题（十二）及答案【实战训练】 A（2019中考选练）Are you a good receiver? It might sound like a funny question but it is an important one that each of us should ask ourselves. Strangely, most of us are better givers than receivers. We give to our family, our friends and even charities, and opposite to what we might think, most of us are actually very good at giving. But receiving is another matter. We often feel a little uneasy when receiving, although it is not very noticeable. Even praise gets deflected（转向）when it comes our way. When someone praises us for helping him move or clean up the house, we will possibly say, “Ah, it was nothing.” When someone praises the coat we are wearing, we may mention how we bought it at a discount instead of simply enjoying the praise. Actually, the praise is a gift to us, and when we dont receive it properly, we are dishonoring the giver. Giving is easy, as there is much pleasure in giving, but receiving is an art that takes practice. To be a good receiver requires a sense of close relationship with the giver. It is always a pleasure for a giver to see the gift received in a pleasant way. And this is also the best way for a receiver to honor the giver and give him something back. Many relationships are not so good not because people are not giving to each other, but because they are not receiving from each other well. We should receive the love, respect the praise, and give thanks every time giving happens. We should practice receiving all the pleasures that happen to us every day, instead of taking them for granted. Think of how many simple everyday gifts we are being given all the time: the beauty of nature, art and inspiring（激励人的）conversations. But are we truly receiving them when they happen to us, or are we busy with other matters, not noticing? We should master the art of receiving: accept the gifts life offers us and show our appreciation for them. We are taught that it is better to give than to receive. But this suggests that there is something wrong with receiving. There is nothing wrong with receiving. It is better to give and receive. Let life shower us with gifts, pleasures, joys, surprises, both large and small, and let us take notice of all these things and accept them happily and thankfully. The more we can receive, the more we can give back, but giving more does not necessarily mean receiving more. We must remember it is harder to receive than to give, and try to practice receiving. This practice will benefit us greatly, making us become good receivers as well as good givers. 1. According to Paragraph 2, what do we possibly do when we are praised? A. Honor the giver publicly. B.

A 【实战训练】 BWhen you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “ How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. “She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does. 1. From the passage we know that _when we are learning English. A. we shouldnt put every word into our own languageB. we should look up every word in the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own languageD. we must read word by word2. The writer thinks it is _ in learning English. A. difficult to understand different soundsB. possible to remember the word orderC. important to master the rules in different waysD. easy to master the rules for word order3. We can learn from the passage that _. A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the wordsB. The order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC. sometimes different order of words has a different meaningD. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different4. “She only likes apples.” _. A. is the same as “Only she likes apples.” B. is different from “Only she likes apples.” C. means “She likes fruit except apples.”D. means “She doesnt like apples.”5. Which is the best title (标题) for this passage? A. Different Orders, Different Meanings B. How to Speak EnglishC. How to Put English into Our Own Language D. How to Learn English【答案及解析】1. A. 从整篇文章我们知道，在学习英语翻译句子时，我们不能逐字逐词译成母语，这样做是不明智的，结果是译成错误的句子。2. B. 从文章中的第二段的这一句中Its important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. 可知B项为正确答案。3. C. 从文章所举的两组例子和原句Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. 说明了作者的这一观点：有时，不同的词序会有不同的意思。4. B. She only likes apples. only在这句中修饰动词likes，意为“她只喜欢苹果，而不喜欢吃其它水果”。Only she likes apples. only在此句中修饰主语she，意为“只有她喜欢苹果，而其他人就不一定喜欢吃苹果了。”所以正确答案是B。5. D. 从整篇文章可以看出其大意是“怎样学习英语？”，把它作为标题应该是最佳的。【实战训练】 CA cheap sweaterMr. Ford saw a nice sweater in the shop window. It was very cheap. So he bought one.
