题文

This happened in London It was November and the weather was very wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold. He coughed day and night, so he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough. As he did not know much English, he took out his dictionary and looked up the word "cough". But the dictionary did not tell him how to pronounce(发音) the word. He thought it over and remembered that he had learned the word "plough". He remembered that it was pronounced[plav]. So he thought that c-o-u-g-h must be pronounced [kav]. Then he put on his coat and hat and went to a chemist's shop(药店).When the man in the shop asked him what he wanted, the Frenchman said, "I want something for my 'COW' , please." The man in the shop looked at him. Had he heard him correctly? "I beg your pardon, sir?" he asked. The Frenchman repeated, "I want some medicine for my 'COW'." "For your cow?" asked the man, "are you a farmer?" "A farmer?" said the Frenchman in surprise, "What makes you think I'm a farmer? I come from Paris. I'm not a farmer. " "But where is your cow?" "It's here!" answered the Frenchman. He put his hand on his chest(胸口) and began to cough. "Here it is, " he said, "I've a very bad 'cow' here." Then the man in the shop understood what the Frenchman meant. He wanted some medicine for his cough. 小题1:The Frenchman said, "I want something for my 'cow', please." Here by the word "cow" he meant _______. A．cow B．cough C．medicine D．cold 小题2:What made the man in the shop think the Frenchman was a farmer? A．The Frenchman looked like a farmer. B．The word "cough" was pronounced [kau] by him. C．The Frenchman said he came from a farm in Paris. D．We can't learn about it from the story. 小题3:Which of the following is TRUE?

题型：阅读理解  难度：中档

答案

小题1:B 小题2:B 小题3:B

试题分析：本文讲述一个法国人得了重感冒去药店买药，但是他不知道“咳嗽”这个词怎么发音。于是他根据别的词猜测cough发音同cow，之后来到药店闹了一个笑话。 小题1:词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句话So he thought that c-o-u-g-h must be pronounced [kav].“所以他认为咳嗽cough的发音应该同奶牛cow的发音。”因此本文中cow意思是cough，故选B。 小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第四段I want some medicine for my 'COW'.“我想要为我的牛买一些药。”他将cough发音成cow，因此药店的人认为这个法国人是一个农民，故选B。 小题3:细节理解题。这个法国人到药店将cough发音成cow，因此药店老板没有明白他的意思。后来法国人做了咳嗽的动作，药店老板才明白他的意思。因此本题选择B，起初药店老板没有明白法国人的意思。

据专家权威分析，试题“This happened in London It was November and the weather was ..”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．
