Question

【題目】

Blue Lightning

Sally loved cars more than anything else. This spring she thought of building a go-kart to enter for the Go-Go Race. So she asked her dad for help.

“Well,” he said. “How about this: you do some research first and then come back to me with a design.”

A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work, thinking. “Well, that’s interesting,” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you’ve designed.”

Over three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.

After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. “Well,” she said. “Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive.”

“Oh, do you?” he said. “Please share.”

“When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback,” she said. “I think it’s because of the lightning bolt (閃電) shape.”

“Very good!” Dad said.

“So, why didn’t you tell me about that problem in the first place?” Sally asked.

Dad laughed. “Where’s the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.”

Sally said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun !”

Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way.”

That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go-kart, he nodded with pride.

Finally came the race. Sally wasn’t worried about whether she would win—in her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before.

【解析】

Sally非常喜歡汽車，她想要自己制作一輛卡丁車去參加比賽，并向爸爸求助。經(jīng)過三個(gè)周末的努力，Sally的卡丁車做好了，爸爸讓她先去試一試。經(jīng)過試駕，Sally發(fā)現(xiàn)卡丁車還存在一些問題，她問爸爸為什么之前不告訴她，爸爸說有時(shí)候我們就是通過犯錯(cuò)來學(xué)習(xí)的。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段第二句話This spring she thought of building a go-kart to enter for the Go-Go Race.可知，Sally想要自己制作一輛卡丁車去參加比賽。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段Over three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.可知，Sally把卡丁車做好后，給爸爸看，爸爸讓她先去試駕一下。由此可知應(yīng)選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意和短文倒數(shù)第三段的內(nèi)容Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way.”可知，短文通過講述Sally制作卡丁車參加比賽的過程，告訴我們，有時(shí)候?qū)W習(xí)就是在過程中發(fā)生的。故D選項(xiàng)最符合文意。

這篇短文通過講述Sally制作卡丁車參加比賽的過程，告訴我們?cè)谧鍪虑榈倪^程中學(xué)習(xí)把事情做好這個(gè)道理。文章篇幅較長(zhǎng)，但句式結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)單，敘述清晰，內(nèi)容也比較貼近日常生活，比較容易理解。閱讀理解是中考英語的經(jīng)典題型，主要考查以下幾個(gè)方面的能力：1. 掌握文章的主旨大意；2.理解文章事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié)；3.根據(jù)上下文猜測(cè)生詞詞義；4.理解文章上下文邏輯關(guān)系，做合理的推測(cè)和判斷；5.領(lǐng)會(huì)作者的寫作目的、觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度。題型設(shè)置常有：細(xì)節(jié)理解題、推理判斷題、詞義猜測(cè)題和主旨大意題。做題時(shí)，先通讀短文，了解文章大意；然后根據(jù)題目所問，鎖定文章相關(guān)段落或語句，或利用文章信息進(jìn)行推測(cè)和判斷。細(xì)節(jié)題相對(duì)較簡(jiǎn)單，可以根據(jù)題干所問，鎖定文章相關(guān)信息作答。如第2小題，根據(jù)題干所問鎖定文章第四段，根據(jù)Over three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.可知選A。
