Last year, Webster and her classmates and staff at the school and Calvary Church donated more than 1,000 of shoes.This year, the school and church are still holding the activity. They collect new or lightly used shoes to Soles4Souls. It is a global nonprofit organization that gives shoes and clothing to people in need for free.Head of the school Troy saw Sole4Souls as a good way to develop the charitable(慈善的) giving. ”It’s amazing howeasy it is to give away what we have in our closet already. And it doesn’t hurt too much,” he said. ”it’s just growing generosity(慷慨) in our students. It’s helping them to think beyond themselves..”The goal this year is to collect 1,500 pairs of shoes, Troy said. A group of students including Webster is heading up the thing. They create posters to put up around their school yard and spread the word to church members and their neighbors.Taking part in Soles4 Souls has also changed the way Bella, 12, thinks of shoes. Last year, she gave five pairs–including some she wanted to keep. Now she is looking forward to doing it.1.Who may donate the shoes to people in need?A.The students B.The staff at the churchC.The workers and teachers at school D.All of the above2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.Webster and Bella gave away 45 pairs of shoes last year.B.Students only give away the shoes they have used before to the Sloes4SoulsC.Students can become generous when they take part in the charitable giving.D.It’s really hard to give away in clothes and shoes that we own.3.The nonprofit organization in the fourth paragraph means the organizations that are run(经营) . A.to ask people for the profitB.not for the purpose of making moneyC.by the governmentD.by some tradersB14、Long long ago people made fires(火)from lightning(闪电). But they had to keep the fires burning(燃烧), for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stones(石头)together could make a spark(火花). The spark could fire dry leaves(树叶). In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing(摩擦). They made a hole on a big piece of wood(木头)and put a smaller stick(树枝)into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat(热)from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries(世纪)ago,people began to make matches(火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is touse an electric(屯子的)fire starter. Of course, an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches, but it is convenient.1.A spark can ______.A.fire any leaves B.burn anythingC.burn dry leaves D.keep fires burning2.We can also get a fire by ______.A.making a hole on a big piece of woodB.putting a smaller stick into the holeC.turning the stick hard for a whileD.all the above together3.Matches have been used ______.A.for about two thousand yearsB.for about two hundred yearsC.since people began to use fire for cookingD.since people used the heat from the sun4.From this passage we know ______.A.an electric fire starter is widely usedB.people haven't used matches since they had electric fire startersC.today there are only two ways to make firesD.some forest fires happen from lightning5.Choose the right order of the ways to make fires people got to know.a. with a matchb. from the sunc. from lightningd. by rubbinge. with an electric fire starterA.a, b, c, d, e B.b, c, a, e, dC.c, d, b, a ,e D.d, a, c, b, eC15、阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。

扬州市中考英语模拟试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1.阅读理解In order to tell you what I believe, I must bring up something from my personal history.The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my business job and study music. My parents, although sharing my love of music, didn't think it was a good choice that I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students, he didn't earn(挣钱)enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to go to the college instead of a conservatory(音乐学院) of music although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing.Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I go out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by.My wish was to save enough to quit(退出)and then go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, I earned enough to make myself able to go abroad. The family got out of the trouble and ▲ . I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it."Enjoyed" is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived. When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family, but if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living.(1)The writer presented his grandpa's example in order to .A. show how much his grandpa was loved by his studentsB. tell to be a musician wasn't a good choice for the writerC. explain why his parents disagreed him to take up music as a jobD. thank his parents' support for studying in the conservatory of music(2)How did the writer feel when he was taking his business job?A. Successful.B. Shameful.C. Hopeful.D. Painful.(3)Which of the following can best fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A. my point was that business was not for me.B. my help was no longer necessary.C. I earned so much to support my family.D. I got up early to practice the violin.(4)From the underlined sentence "I walked on air", it can be inferred that the writer .A. couldn't find his place in a new environmentB. couldn't make a success of livingC. felt free because he was doing what he lovedD. felt pity for beginning a new life【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】文章大意:文章通过爷爷的故事告诉我们为啥他的父母反对他从事音乐工作,到后来真正的做了自己喜欢做的事。

The following are among the most famous ones.Tower BridgeTower Bridge has stood over the Thames in London since 1894 andis one of the finest,most famous bridges in the world.Tower Bridge isthe only Thames bridge that can be raised.It used to be raised about 50times a day,but nowadays it is only raised 4 to 5 times a week.London BridgeLondon Bridge started in 1176 and finished years later.Housesand shops were once built on the bridge,which made the road sonarrow that it was often jammed with people,horses and carts.A “keepleft”rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving.This became therule of the road in Britain.Millennium BridgeMillennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers.It was built in 2000.Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge.Almost immediatelyafter opening,the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerouswaving caused by too many visitors.It has now been reopened.Westminster BridgeWestminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over theThames between Westminster and Lambent.The present bridge wasopened in 1862 and took the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750.31.If there were a huge ship on the Thames, it could run through ______.A.

Did you hear that caw-caw sound?” Colin looked very excited. Just then Martha opened the door. “Dickon and his animals are here, sir,” she said.Dickon came in. The new-born lamb was in his arms and the little red fox walked next to him. A crow sat on his left shoulder and a squirrel sat on the other. Another squirrel was looking out of his coat pocket. Colin stared as Dickon gave him the new-born lamb. “What is it doing?” cried Colin. “What does it want?” “It wants its mother,” said Dickon, smiling. He took a baby’s bottle from his pocket. He pushed the bottle into the lamb’s mouth. The lamb drank the milk, then it fell asleep.The next day, Dickon pushed Colin in the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn to the long path near the wall.“This is where I walked up and down looking for the door,” whispered Mary. They walked a bit further, and then Mary whispered again: “The robin (知更鸟) flew over the wall here. And there,” she said, pointing under a big bush in the flower bed, “is where I found the key”.Then Dickon stopped pushing the chair. “And look!” Mary moved the ivy branch. “Here is the door. Dickon, push him in — push him in quickly!”When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers —gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon stared at him. He looked different. His face was pink, not white.“Mary! Dickon! I’m going to get well!” he cried, “And I’m going to live forever and ever!”—Taken from The Secret Garden34.How many animals are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. FiveD.

Colin was interested in flowers in the gardenD. It was spring when Colin entered the gardenCYesterday I woke up to the sound of music on my couch in my fifth floor apartment. I couldn’t possibly tell you what song was playing because I was thinking what to do that day. I felt as if that day was going to be one of “those days”.After taking my son to school, I remembered I should meet my 85-year-old friend Harry. I promised to take him to lunch anywhere he wanted to go. When we parked the car, Harry told me, “I have to go into the donut (甜甜圈) shop next door before going to the restaurant.” Of course I agreed and in we went. He immediately walked in and began having a joke with the owner of the shop in his fashion. They chatted happily as she gave him a dozen donuts and off we went. I couldn’t help but ask him, “What are the donuts for?” He quickly replied, “You will soon see.”As we opened the door to the restaurant, the line was very long. It was lunch time. People were on their cell phones. Babies were crying and the waiters looked stressed and burnt out. Harry and I were waiting in line chatting about nothing until we reached the front of the line. As he walked to the counter (柜台), all the waiters began smiling. He placed the box of donuts on the counter and said, “These are for you and other workers.” At once, the mood in the restaurant changed. This single act of kindness made the customers, the waiters, the kids and even me think when was the last time we did something nice for a stranger.What was most amazing to me was earlier that morning I felt bored with my life. It felt like it was just another day. Watching this gentleman provide donuts for the waiters in a crowded restaurant at the lunch rush hour changed my ideas on life. Making an effort to do the little things can make people feel happy every day and our days will be better.38.In Paragraph 1, the writer felt ______ about his life.A. afraidB. curiousC. nervousD. bored39. Why did Harry buy donuts before going to the restaurant?A. To make the writer feel relaxed.B. To avoid standing in line in the restaurant.C. To give the waiters a surprise.D. To give the owner of the restaurant as gifts.40. The mood in the restaurant changed because ______.A. Harry had a joke with waitersB. people felt surprised about the actC. Harry was deeply respected thereD. people were touched by the kind act41. Which might be the best title for the text?A. A magic donutB. A kind gentlemanC. A boring dayD. A famous restaurantDDo you know black boxes?Black boxes are flight recorders placed in an aircraft for thepurpose of making it easier to know how the accidents happened in flight.An airplane actually has two black boxes. The flight data recorder catches the information, which can discover whether human error or instrument problems contributed to an accident. The cockpit (驾驶舱) voice recorder records pilot voices and cockpit sounds.The black boxes are not black. They are painted bright orange to help with their recovery after accidents. The outside is with stripes of reflective tape (反光带). The black boxes are usually placed in the tail of a plane where they are more likely to survive a crash. A flight data recorder is required to store at least 25 hours of flight information. A cockpit voice recorder is required to record at least 2 hours of audio information.For the black boxes to survive a crash, they are built to be waterproof, fireproof, shockproof, heat and pressure and corrosion resistant (耐腐蚀). The black box must be able to hold 3,400 times the force of gravity, when the airplane goes down at the speed of about 500 km/h. It must also survive flames up to 1,100 degrees Celsius for one hour, and the boxes should be able to give out a signal once per second while put under 6,000 meters of saltwater for at least 30 days.How is data from black boxes picked up? It needs special skills to physically bring the black boxes back. Investigators may need to clean and dry the black boxes and download data from them. It takes time to download and get the information from data. If the storing units go wrong, it will take longer time, either days or months.So, the black boxes are very important to explain to everyone what happened during the flight.42.What does the unlined word “recovery” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. 恢复B. 找回C. 保存D. 覆盖43.Which of the following sentences is True according to the passage?A. Black boxes help us know how flight accidents happen.B. It takes little time to download data from the black boxes.C. Black boxes are painted black with stripes of reflective tape.D. One black box is in the head of a plane and the other is in the tail.44.In Paragraph 5, the writer uses numbers to show ______.A. the black boxes are strong enoughB. the black boxes can help the plane land safelyC. the black boxes can tell people the cause of the accidentD. the black boxes can hold a lot of information about the plane45.This passage mainly tells us ______.A. how long black boxes workB. how black boxes pick up dataC. what messages black boxes carryD. what we know about black boxes四、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题l分,计10分)(每空一词)46.This machine is named after its ______.

But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.Unluckily, in early May, my father was seriously hurt in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he was well. I thought that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained very often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was sad to see that many of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs (虫子). There were hundreds of bugs all over them! I had no choice but to go to the nearest store to buy some vegetables.When I gave the salad to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! I can’t believe the carrots are this big already. You must be taking very good care of my garden.” I felt a bit guilty. After that, I looked after the garden carefully, and weeks later I was finally able to pick some.I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with a smile. “My good girl, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better.”Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you enjoy the results more, however small they may be. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for my father’s love of gardening.根据短文内容回答问题(每小题答案不超过10个单词)。

Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life,making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas. "The songs are our means of passing on wisdom,knowledge and life experiences to others.I will not exist in this world 100 years later,but Grand songs will.I'm honored to do this job," Guanmei said.Kind-hearted,Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years.Now she has more than 300 students.Guanmei is pleased to see the village children come to her house willingly when they have free time."Nowadays,more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities.Decades later,the Dong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs.We should do something just now.It's our mission.What is once lost might be lost forever," added Guanmei.34. What makes the Grand Song of Dong known as "the sound of Nature"?______A. The outstanding conductor.B. The special musical instrument.C. The attractive natural environment.D. The inspiration from nature.35. What can we know about the Dong ethnic culture?______A. The Dong singers are professionals.B. The Dong culture before 1958 has been largely lost.C. Singing is of vital importance to the Dong people.D. They have a written language with a history of over 2,500 years.36. How does Guanmei feel about the future of Grand songs?______A. Concerned.B. Sympathetic.C. Optimistic.D. Satisfied.37. What's the author's main purpose in writing the passage?______A. To call on young people to return to the Dong village.B. To guide the Dong children to learn the Grand Song of Dong.C. To show a woman's efforts to keep the Dong culture alive.D. To instruct people to appreciate the Grand Song of Dong.CThe British love word-play and they're enthusiastic about defending the use of their language.In recent years,books about the grammar,pronunciation and punctuation (标点)of English have been written by the dozen,and sold extremely well,reflecting people's love of the English language.People want to defend the "correct" use of their language,but also to preserve its ability to evolve along with society.Lynne Truss's book Eats,Shoots & Leaves is an excellent example of these two opposite ideas.Its title shows the way that punctuation can change meaning in a sentence. "Eats shoots and leaves" is a perfectly normal description of a panda's diet:he eats the shoots and leaves of bamboo trees.But the position of the comma (逗号)turns those nouns into verbs,and makes up a ridiculous little story:the panda eats (his dinner),he shoots (a gun),and he leaves (the building).It's a silly joke,but it shows how changing something as simple as a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence. Published in 2003,Eats,Shoots & Leaves was an unexpectedly huge success.It is easy to assume thetypical reader of this kind of book as the humourless type.However,the book has sold thousands and thousands of copies — it must be appealing to a wide range of people.The book's winning secret is this:it makes some serious points about language and punctuation,but also has a light-hearted dimension,and uses stories and jokes to show its points.It has invited some tough criticism,too,especially from the US.On a broader range,Eats,Shoots & Leaves has opened up a lot of public debate on Truss's ideas.Whether they agree with her or not,punctuation and grammar has become a popular topic to discuss.In every generation there will be people who think that the standard of language is in decline,and who are more than happy to write to the newspapers to express their concern and opinions.Truss's book also appeals to those who think that texting and blogging is lowering the standard of literacy.Whether the standard of the English language is decreasing,or simply evolving into new forms,the success of Eats,Shoots & Leaves proves that this is a subject that many English speakers find interesting and important.38. The title of the book Eats,Shoots & Leaves is a joke which shows ______ .A. a funny feelingB. a trend in writingC. a fact about animalsD. a grammatical point39. The book has been successful because ______ .A. it causes concern for proper use of language in a fun wayB. it shows the British like to teach English to other peopleC. it solves a serious English language problemD. it presents the new research on English40. What can be inferred from the passage?______A. The English language was better in the past.B. The English language is being improved by technology.C. There is often dissatisfaction with the standard of English.D. There have always been debates on the use of punctuation.41. What is the best title for the passage?______A. The Problem Punctuation CreatedB. The Difference a Comma MadeC. Public Debate about Language StandardsD. Proper Understanding of Silly JokesDLike many other people who speak more than one language,I often have the sense that I'm a slightly different person in each of my languages—more confident in English,more relaxed in French,more emotional in Czech.Is it possible that,along with these differences,my moral compass (指南针)also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I'm using at the time?Psychologists who study moral judgments have become very interested in this question.The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境),they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa,volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the "trolley problem":imagine that a runaway trolley is moving quickly toward a group of five people standing on the tracks,unable to move.You are next to a switch that can move the trolley to a different set of tracks,therefore sparing the five people,but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks.Do you pull the switch?Most people agree that they would.But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this,even though in both situations,one person is sacrificed to save five.But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge,from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language or a foreign one?According to one explanation,such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking—one of these,a quick,natural "feeling," and the other,careful deliberation about the greatest good for the greatest number.When we use a foreign language,we unconsciously sink into the more careful way simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language signals our cognitive (认知的)system to prepare for difficult activity.An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because ourchildhood languages are filled with greater emotions than are those learned in more academic settings.As a result,moral judgments made in a foreign language are less filled with the emotional reactions that surface when we use a language learned in childhood.There's strong evidence that memory connects a language with the experiences and interactions through which that language was learned.For example,people who are bilingual (双语的)are more likely to recall an experience if reminded in the language in which that event occurred.Our childhood languages,learned in the middle of passionate emotion,become filled with deep feeling.By comparison,languages acquired late in life,especially if they are learned through limited interactions in the classroom or dully delivered over computer screens and headphones,enter our minds lacking the emotionality that is present for their native speakers.42. What does "this question" in Paragraph 2 refer to?______A. What contributes to one's language improvements?B. Is it necessary to learn more than one foreign language?C. Does the language one uses influence one's moral judgmentsD. How do people deal with moral dilemmas in a foreign language43. When the "trolley problem" was presented in a foreign language,volunteers were more likely to ______ .A. care less about the five peopleB. pull the switch to the side tracksC. remain hesitant about what to doD. sacrifice the stranger on the footbridge44. The underlined word in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. considerationB. guidanceC. selectionD. arrangement45. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs______A. Bilingual people are less emotional than others.B. Native language learning involves greater emotions.C. Childhood memories limit foreign language learning.D. Academic settings promote foreign language learning.四、任务型阅读-多任务混合(本大题共1小题,共10.0分)46.

However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early.Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time.Here are some other benefits of later school start times:More time for a healthy breakfastWhen running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits.With extra time before going to school, students can eat a well-balanced breakfast andfocus more on learning.Fewer behavioral (行为的) problemsTeens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness.When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They’re less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with.Better performance (表现) in studySleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn.In conclusion, starting school later helps students get a better night’s sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better.1.According to the passage, what may cause teenagers to stay up?()A.Their low grades.B.Their empty stomachs.C.Their body’s sleep cycle.D.Their heavy homework.2.How can sleep loss influence students’ study?()A.It gives them much energy.B.It does harm to the brain.C.It saves more time for study.D.It improves their memory.3.What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?()A.To explain reasons for students’ stress.B.To describe bad habits caused by sleep loss.C.To discuss scientists’ research on healthy food.D.To introduce benefits of later school start times.4.In which part of the website can you probably find this passage?()A.Education.B.Fashion.C.Sports.D.Technology.(C)(2023·江苏苏州·统考中考真题)Confucianism (儒家思想) has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years.To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li.Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated).While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us.Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.1.Which are the most important of the Five Constants?()A.Ren and yi.B.Ren and li.C.Li and xin.D.Yi and zhi.2.What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?()A.博学于文,约之以礼。

Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired. She sat down on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea water was going up. She wanted to go home, but she found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up. The stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried.Luckily, Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! Rover raised his loud bark. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover was in trouble, so he looked over. There he saw it all.“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons' rooms.“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Ge t to the boat, and row fast to the sea. There is a poor child there just waiting to be helped.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother's arms.“It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny.

最初善良的麦姬以为老渔夫是乞丐送给了他一便士硬币,当麦姬在海滩上遇到危险时,渔夫的狗罗孚及时“呼救”,在老渔夫儿子的帮助下才脱离了险境。

最后,老渔夫临去世前又把狗托付给麦姬收养,诠释了当施恩于别人的时候,也会得到别人的恩赐与帮助的道理。

(1)C细节理解题。

根据文章第三段中的句子“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother's arms.可知,是丹的儿子把麦姬成功解救出来!答案为C。

(2)C细节推理题。

根据短文最后一句“Will Maggie help Rover?—his master is dead.”老渔夫丹一直与他的狗罗孚生活在一起,直到他临去世前把狗托付给麦姬,麦姬的硬币感动了渔夫,渔夫的狗罗孚也在麦姬遇到危险时帮助了她,麦姬不接纳罗孚显然不合理,A答案不正确,故正确答案C。

(3)A主旨大意题。

根据文章内容可知,最初善良的麦姬以为老渔夫是乞丐送给了他一便士硬币,当麦姬在海滩上遇到危险时,渔夫的狗罗孚及时“呼救”,在老渔夫儿子的帮助下才脱离了险境。

诠释了当施恩于别人的时候,也会得到别人的恩赐与帮助的道理。

故答案A最符合题意。

(4)D标题归纳题。

纵观全文可以发现,是麦姬给老渔夫丹的一便士硬币引出了这个感人的故事。

故D答案最合理。

【点评】第3小题是考查作者的写作意图,适合用捕捉主旨大意来解题。

所谓主旨大意,也就是文章的中心思想,主题思想,中心观点,它常常针对文章的主题,作者的写作意图,文章段落的中心思想进行提问,这类题也叫归纳概括题。

做这道题时,必须在通读全文的基础上,准确把握短文的主旨大意,作者传递着一种“善有善报”的思想,诠释了当施恩于别人的时候,也会得到别人的恩赐与帮助的道理。

故A答案最符合题意。
