IV. 阅读理解（20小题，共40分）
阅读下列短文，并做短文后的题目。从四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
A
Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or you are merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to keep yourself from being caught in a sudden rain. Whatever the reason, you can soon totally forget where you are.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. You may spend a lot of money and you can waste a great deal of time walking from section to section looking at the books.
You soon become deeply interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry away to deal with some forgotten things- without buying a book, of course.
The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. You can go round such places to your heart’s satisfaction.
56. According to the author, people go to a bookshop __________.
A. just to buy books B. just to buy presents
C. for different reasons D. in order to escape the realities
57. People getting into a bookshop will soon________.
A. get tired B. buy a book
C. find the book they need D. be attracted by all kinds of books
58. The underlined word this (in Paragraph 4 ) means _________.
A. buying a book B. going to a bookshop
C. going round a bookshop D. escaping the realities of everyday life
59. According to the passage, people often _______.
A. prefer novels to other books
B. spend a lot of money on books
C. like buying books on ancient coins
D. come out of a bookshop without buying a book
60.We can judge from the the passage that the author _______.
A. is a busy man B. likes going to a bookshop
C. wants people to buy more books
D. advises people not to stay long in a bookshop
B
Now and again I have had bad dreams, but I have not had enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with, I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still, and then, surprisingly enough, finding myself in another kind of existence.
As a child I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they liked so much to talk about any holiday. I cannot understand people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more surprising than if they said they never went out for a walk. Most grown-up people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as a strange little habit, like sneezing(打喷嚏). I have never understood this.
My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life, probably because there is far less of it. But to me it is important, as if there were at least two more continents added to the world. Then again, the dream life, though funny and confusing(令人困惑的) and not good enough in many ways, has its own advantages, The dead are there, smiling and talking. The past is there, sometimes all broken but occasionally as fresh as green grass. And perhaps, the future is there too, waving at us.
61．The underlined phrase another kind of existence( in Paragraph 1) most probably means_______.
A. a world of dream B. a world of the future
C. a world of animals and people D. a world of the dead and the past
62．According to the passage, the grown-ups seemed ______.
A. not to like dreams B. not to like any holiday
C. to ignore dreams so much D. to think dreams were very important
63．According to the writer, it is strange that some people should ______.
A. say they never dream B. often go out for a walk
C. be very much interested in dreaming
D. think dreams are part of their daily life
64．The author thinks that if there is enough of dream life, it will _______.
A. have more advantages B. be funny and confusing
C. make him go to other continents D. be as important as his waking life
65．The advantage of the dream life is that ______.
A. the future will become realized soon
B. dead people all know how to smile and talk
C. you can meet the dead, the past and the future there
D. the past things make people feel as fresh as green grass
C
We parents often take material things for love. “I give him everything,” a disappointed mother complains, “New shoes, video-games, his own TV. You’d think he’d at least show me respect!”
Of course, love and parents are related. Most parents work hard to earn money. They want their children to have more than they did and have better lives. The problem is, most children don’t connect the things parents buy with the labor that pays for them. Children have more, but our culture- and television in particular- teaches them that more is never enough. Having more does not mean that a child feels loved.
From a parent’s point of view, children are not thankful. But this has to do with their natural growth. Young children see their parents as all-powerful. If parents fail to provide what they want, it must be a matter of choice. It’s normal for children, even school-age ones, not to be able to take another person’s point of view. For example, they may dislike their parent for working long hours. And not realize that the parent would also rather have more time at home.
In addition to giving presents, we have to find other ways to express love and create memories. Reading or telling stories together. Making music and playing games are all ways for families to spend time without spending money. Traditions like reading favorite poems and even snowball fights all serve the same purpose. Most importantly, as parents, we have to learn to hold back some energy from our tiring jobs. When we’re present for our children we ourselves become the presents we want to give.
66. The underlined word them( in Paragraph 2) refers to _____.
A. parents B.children C. better lives D. the things parents buy
67. According to the passage, children________.
A. want fewer presents B. are taught to want more
C. want presents rather than love D. dislike their parents staying home.
68. We can judge from the passage that there is a lack of _______.
A. money for some families B. jobs for some parents
C. understanding between children and parents
D. love between children and parents
69. The last sentence of the passage means ________.
A. our children are good presents to us. B> we ourselves need presents
C. staying with our children is a good present to them
D. we should give more presents to our children
70. The best title for the passage is _______.
A. Family Life B. Love and Presents
C. Children’s Education D. Children and Parents
D
We use emotional (令人动情的) language to express our own attitudes and feelings. We also use it to persuade other people to believe what we believe or to do what we want them to do, and, of course, other people say emotional language to us to get us to believe or to do what they want to.
We get a lot of advice, day in and day out, at home and in school, on the radio and on television. It comes from parents and teachers, from film stars and politicians, but, most of all, of course, from advertisers. Most of the advice is expressed in emotional language and is intended to excite our feelings rather than to make use of our thinking.
We should look at the intentions behind all this advice. Why do they want to persuade us? What do they want us to do? We will not be thinking very clearly unless we try to see through the covering of words and realize something of the speaker’s purpose.
A call to emotion is in itself neither good nor bad. Our emotions are here and they are part of our personality (性格，个性). On some occasions, people try to excite our emotions on the highest levels and from the best of intentions. A case in point is Churchill’s wartime speeches: whatever people thought of Churchill as a politician, they listened to him and were united behind him when he spoke as a national leader in those dark days.
71．The major uses of emotional language discussed in the passage are to ____.
A. advertise and produce more goods
B. show one’s feelings and attract people
C. express oneself and make others believe one.
D. give advice to others and show one’s way of thinking
72．What emotional language does is to ______.
A. give us a advice B. excite people’s feelings
C. make use of our thinking D. reach us day in and day out
73．The author seems to think that ______.
A. it’s impossible to think clearly
B. emotional language is used to cheat
C. intentions should be seen through the covering of words
D. it’s impossible to know the purpose of emotional language
74．To excite the listeners’ emotion in a speech is in itself ______.
A. very good B. rather bad
C. completely wrong D. neither good nor bad
75．Churchill’s wartime speeches were so emotional that _____.
A. people were united behind him
B. all the listeners got to love him
C. people thought him as a politician
D. he took himself as a national leader.

08年深圳市中考英语考生解释句子主要错误例举
今年参加深圳市中考英语解释句子部分阅卷, 了解到部分学生的主要错误,现发到个人空间，希望能给初中英语教师一个感性的认识, 能够对他们平时的教学有所帮助.
解释句子一共五个句子，每句2分，全题共10分。题目是这样的：
1．What’s your age? 2．It is raining cats and dogs.
3．He is the cleverest in his class. 4．Are students keen on computer games?
5．It is two weeks since he left London. 题目要求用简单英语解释上述五个句子。
我本人评阅了3000多份试卷（属于比较多的），看到很多的考生错误很多， 有理解的错误， 有表达的错误。而能全部做对得满分的同学少之又少，3000多人中能够得到满分的估计也就100多人，比例是非常低的。上面将主要的错误叙述如下：
总体来看，零分卷主要有下面这样几种情况：
1．完全不懂，试卷空白的。
2．题目理解错误，当成翻译练习来做的。
3．完全不懂，抄写试卷阅读句子的。
4．一字不改，全抄原题的。
其他的就是或多或少能够得到一点分的。五题分述如下：
第1题，应当是最容易的，有些考生在这一大题中，其他所有小题都做不对，就只有这一题做得对，得到2分。正确答案是：How old are you ? 错误的表达主要有：How is your age? When is your age? How old is you? How old you are? Your age? How many years ?
第2题在五题当中是比较难的一题，正确参考答案很多，但是很多考生理解不了它的意思，也有很多同学理解了，却无法解释。主要的错误有：It is raining cats, It is also raining dogs. It is raining cats as well as dogs. Cats and dogs are raining. Today is raining cats and dogs. Today is cats and dogs. The weather is cats and dogs. It is raining hardly. It is raining heavy. It is heay rain.
第3题在五题当中是比容易的一题，正确的表达方式也很多，虽然大部分考生都能理解它的意思，但是在表达结构上有问题。主要错误类型是：He is as clever as his classmates. He is not foolish in his class. All his classmates are foolish in his class. He is clear in his class. He is very clever in his class. He is not bad in his class. He is clever than other/ others in his class. He is clever than any one in his class.
第4题的问题主要是大部分考生都无法理解be keen on 这个词组的意思，所以解释错误。也有部分学生理解了，但是解释表达错误。主要错误类型是：Do the students play computer games? Are the students like computer games? Are the students interesting in computer games? Are the students playing computer games? Computer games are playing the students?
第5题是比较难的一题，很多考生理解不了它的意思， 也有很多同学理解了，却无法解释。主要错误类型是：He leave London before two weeks ago. He has left London two weeks ago. He went to London two weeks ago. He went to London before two weeks. He live in London before two weeks. He have been left London two weeks ago. He have been away London before two weeks.
