题文

Difficult times often bring out the best in people. Many well-known people come to help those who are in trouble. And this was the case for basketball player Yao Ming. He hosted a television show in Shanghai and raised US $ 300,000 to help researchers (研究员) find a medical cure. Fund-raising, or charity, is an act of goodwill(好意) towards others. Charities in the West have more ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a rich woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten(筋疲力尽的) horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. She turns on the television, and sees a picture of a wide–eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with a request (请求) for money to help the child. The tickets for the charity shows often cost her a lot of money, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick. Edna, a little old lady, looks after a second-hand shop—a charity shop. Any profit (收益) it has made goes to a cancer(癌症) charity. Now that she doesn’t have to work, she has lots of time to offer her services for free. For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue (美德) that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish writer Henry Drummond. 小题1:Yao Ming hosted a television show to _____. A．make more money B．raise money for his basket team C．make himself more famous D．raise money for researchers to find a cure for SARS 小题2:We can infer (推断)from the passage that _____. A．Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for others B．Ruth is angry because she has been asked to donate too much money C．Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tired D．Yao Ming wants to be a television host 小题3:Which of the following is TRUE? A．Only Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna try their best to do things for charity. B．Ruth has given a lot of support to charity although she is not very rich. C．The writer hopes that more people can do things for charity. D．Edna is very rich because she has her own shop. 小题4:One morning, Ruth received a letter with a picture of a horse in it because _____. A．she lost her horse B．a charity wanted her to donate some money C．she loved horse very much D．she wanted to keep a horse as a pet 小题5:The underlined(划线) part in the last paragraph probably means that _____. A．what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others B．when you want to do something for others, you need stand out C．the moment you stand out, you can do something for others D．when you look back sometimes, you need stand out

题型：阅读理解  难度：中档

答案

小题2:A 小题3:C 小题4:B 小题5:A

小题1:细节题。结合Yao Ming. He hosted a television show in Shanghai and raised US $ 300,000 to help researchers (研究员) find a medical cure可知答案。 小题2:推断题。Ruth确实繁忙但并没有流露出feel tired 之意，寻读“The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind…” 和 “She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick.” 等句可看出她并没有因为很多人让她捐钱而生气，因此B项、C项均排除。D项没有提到。关于Edna,文中讲到她已退休，有足够的闲暇时间提供免费服务，因此A项正确。 小题3:细节题。结合倒数第二段可知答案。 小题4:细节题。结合It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals 可知答案 小题5:语义推测题，选D。划线部分本意是“当你回顾你的生活时，往往是你帮助了别人的那些时刻或情景会在你的记忆中清晰地显现（stand out）。” 因此选A。

据专家权威分析，试题“Difficult times often bring out the best in people. Many we..”主要考查你对  人物传记类阅读，故事类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

人物传记类阅读故事类阅读

考点名称：人物传记类阅读

• 人物传记类阅读：
  本类型选材主要是名人轶事。
  人物传记的叙述线索也常常以时间为序。内容一般不是一个人的生活流水账，而是选取主人公一些重要的人生阶段或生活片段来展开叙述。
  阅读时要把握主人公在此阶段发生的事对他本身或他人有什么重要的意义和影响。

考点名称：故事类阅读

• 故事类阅读：
  文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。
  命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
  阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

• 故事类阅读注意：
  初中生接触到的阅读材料大都是故事类。
  阅读故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。
  
  特别注意的是，以上线索往往是并存的。因为情节的发展总是涉及到人物的变化、时间的推移、场景的变换等。
  而阅读材料后的阅读理解往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。
  
  凡事实类的理解题都可以从阅读材料的表层文字中找到答案。
  
  在阅读故事类短文时，应理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题。在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．
