中考英语阅读理解点+例题_全面解析(word)
中考英语阅读理解点+例题_全面解析（word）一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析）1．阅读理解"Without music, life would be a mistake, "famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways.When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.（1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____.A. they were too difficult to learnB. students in the US weren't interested in musicC. the schools wanted to control budgetsD. there weren't enough music teachers in the US （2）In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word "them" refer to（指代）?A. Students in Chicago.B. Public schools.C. Parents in Chicago.D. Fired teachers.（3）How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.（4）What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?A. Music is as simple as it looks.B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.C. Music is a big part of our lives.D. Music isn't a very important life skill for us.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文介绍了很多地区削减了音乐课以控制预算，这是不合适的，因为音乐在许多方面都是有益的。

Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic（现实的）. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours （his "blue period"）. Later, he used more red and pink colours （his "rose period"）. Many of his other paintings are called "cubist （立体派的）" because they are made of painted squares.After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it.Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists （超现实主义画家），were interested in subconsciousness （潜意识）. Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.（1）Which would be most like abstract art?A. A painting of a house.B. A sculpture of a car.C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house.D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.（2）What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?A. It became more abstract.B.

接下来我们将从这四种题型的定义，设题方式和解题技巧三方面进行介绍。
浏览问题（抓住题干及选项中的关键词，以便有目的性的通读文章）通篇寻读Are You Right Handed or Left HandedWhich hand do you use when write About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward（别扭的）.In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.What causes people to be left handed or right handed Experts have searched long and hard on this. They conclude（得出结论）that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It’s simply like the color of our eyes – some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.However, may researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually（在视觉方面）. In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago If you’re mixed handed, you can probably remember.逐题分析语篇解读：本篇文章是一篇日常生活类的说明文。
主要阐述了惯用左手的人及惯用右手的人这两类社会群体的特点，过去及现在人们对这两类群体的态度转变，最后得出他们都是普通人这一观点。
