2017中考英語閱讀理解專項練習—John Brown

       John Brown, an office worker, lives in Washington, He inherited(繼承) $ 1,000, 000 when he was 23. He didn’t feel happy at all. His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn’t have to. John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. He didn’t tell any of his friends and gave $ 100, 000 of his money to a charity(慈善團體) that helped poor children to live better lives, but he is much happier.

　　Up to now,John has helped 15 children from poor coun-tries all over the world, $ 200 amonth for each. The child does not receive the money in cash(現金). The money pays for the child’s school expenses, food, medical care and cloth-ing. John receives a report each year on the child’s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English.

　　When John first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. “It was not anything special,” he said, “Until I had the chance to go to these countries and meet the children I was helping, I did not know anything about the type of life they had.”

　　Once John went to meet a little girl inAfrica. He said that the meeting was very exciting. “When I met her, I felt very very happy,” he said, “I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the child in a way that giving money alone cannot” “ I want to do every-thing I can. I will go on helping those children in need, “he added.

　　這篇短文講述的是John Brown繼承了一筆遺產,并用這筆錢來資助15個孩子的故事。注意有的問題是用句子回答，有的則是用短語或詞回答，詞數有要求，不能超過五個單詞。

　　第一個問題是細節題，詢問John過著怎樣的一種生活。由文中的句子John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. 可知：他的生活簡樸。因此第一題可填入simple life.

　　第二個問題是推理題，文章開頭說His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn’t have to. John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else.說明他想和別人一樣過普通人的生活。很容易對這個選擇疑問句作出回答，注意對選擇疑問句的回答方式，不要畫蛇添足。第2句的回答： He wanted to look for a job.

　　第三個問題是細節題，根據John has helped 15 children from poor coun-tries all over the world…可知這個一般疑問句的回答：是No. (He helps other children.) / No, he doesn’t.

　　第四個問題是細節題，這是個反意問句，由文中的The child does not receive the money in cash(現金) The money pays for the child’s school expenses, food, medical care and cloth-ing.可知回答是No / No,he doesn’t.

　　第五個問題要求考生用短語或詞填空，這是推理題，問：為什么John同小女孩的見面令他激動?題目中已給出了部分回答：Because he saw his money was well used and this made him_____________.短文 “When I met her, I felt very very happy,” he said, “I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the child in a way that giving money alone cannot” 可以判斷空里應填feel happy / closer to the child.

　　第六個問題是歸納總結題，要求考生在理解全文的基礎上，對主人公的人品進行歸納評價。最合適的回答是：a kind(generous) person。
