题文

A Nobel Prize(诺贝尔奖) is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede(瑞典人) called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund(资金) of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature(文学), and for world peace. The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money-about $40,000. Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given. 小题1:When was Alfred Nobel born? A．In 1938. B．In 1833. C．In 1896. D．In 1906. 小题2:What kind of person would you say Alfred Nobel was?

试题分析：短文大意：本文介绍了诺贝尔和诺贝尔奖项的相关信息。诺贝尔出世在斯德哥尔摩，瑞典的首都。诺贝尔是一位伟大的科学家。他有两个重要的发明，所以他变得很富有。虽然他很富有，诺贝尔并不是一个快乐的人。他从未结婚或有孩子。当他63岁时去世时，他留下了一个9000000美元的基金用于物理，化学，医药，文学和世界和平这五个奖项的奖励上了。 小题1: 细节理解题。根据he died at the age of 63,以及The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death可推知诺贝尔出生于1833年，所以选B。 小题2:细节理解题。根据第一段第五句Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man。He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life可知，他虽然富有，但是不快乐，不幸运。 所以选C。 小题3:细节理解题。根据第一段末段The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature(文学), and for world peace.可知他死后把钱用于物理，化学，医药，文学和世界和平这五个奖项的奖励上了。所以选D。 小题4:词义猜测题。根据后面的saying that he has been given the prize可知该词词义是证书，所以选A。 小题5:细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always可知，诺贝尔奖通常是授予一个人的，但不是永远都这样。所以选A。

据专家权威分析，试题“A Nobel Prize(诺贝尔奖) is considered by most people one of ..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

• 历史文化类阅读：
  本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
  阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

• 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
  一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
  切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
  因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。
  
  二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
  切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。
  
  三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
  切记：一想当然，就会出错。
