中考英语阅读理解练习（带答案解析及全文翻译）(13)

3. “Hitting the books” means “_______” in Chinese. A. 用功 B. 捶书 C. 发泄 D. 振作

选A。根据文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books这个句子的语境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。

4. The last sentence in the passage shows that _______. A. Tommy felt sorry for the mail B. Tommy was afraid of being nailed C. Tommy didn?t like the plus sign D. Tommy liked playing jokes on others 选B。Tommy学习一直不用功，但自从进了这所catholic school之后，情况就不一样了——整天都发狠读书，结果数学考试也得了A。这是为什么呢？文章在最后道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren?t joking. 由此可知，Tommy是担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架上。

5. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that _______. A. teachers should be strict with their students B. mistaking (误解) might do good sometimes C. a catholic school is much better than other ones D. nuns are good at helping children with their math

选B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign误解为“学习不用功的结果”，从而一改自己原来不好学的不良习惯，很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见，误解有时也可以起到好的效果

Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.

上周五，一场风暴席卷了新界的两个村庄，摧毁了四个家庭。七个人受了重伤，他们的主人不得不弃他们而去，十五人打破窗户或毁坏了屋顶。一个人被杀死了，几个受伤严重的被送到医院，还有很多人受了轻伤。在风暴过后总共两百多人无家可归。

一个农民，Tan先生说，风暴一大早就开始了并持续了超过一个小时。

“当我们听到很大声响时，我正在和我的妻子和孩子们用餐。”他说，“几分钟后我们的房子开始从我们头顶上塌下来。我们尽最大的努力爬出来然后发现我的一个孩子不见了。 我返回去并发现他，他很安全，但是非常恐惧。“

“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”

Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

Woo Mei Fong太太说当她感觉到房子开始移动时她丈夫刚出去工作。她马上和她的孩子们跑到外面了。

“来不及去拿任何东西，”她说，“几分钟之后，屋顶塌下来了。” 士兵们帮助人们从被水淹的区域出来，福利机构带来了他们的食物，衣服并为他们提供住所。

“There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”

Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter.

1. How many homes altogether (总共) were damaged in the storm? A. Fourteen B. Twenty-one C. Twenty-nine D. Thirty-six 选D。根据第一段出现的三个数字14，7，15即可知D为正确答案。

2. Where was Mr. Tan when the storm first began?

A. He was in bed. B. He was inside the house. C. He was outside the house. D. He was on the roof.

选B。根据“I was eating with my wife and children.”可排除A和D，由下文可知C也不合题意。

3. Mrs. Woo and her family didn?t get hurt because _________. A. her husband knew there would be a storm

B. they were all outside the house when the storm became worse

28

C. she felt the house was moving D. the welfare department helped her

选C。答案即在即在…she felt that her house was moving中。

4. The underlined word “shelter” in this passage means ______. A. something to eat B. something to wear C. somewhere to study D. somewhere to stay 选D。考虑全文意思及最末一段，可知暴风雨过后，房屋倒塌，人员伤亡。人们不仅需要食品、衣物，还需要住的地方。

5. Which of he following may be the best title for this passage? A. A Terrible Storm B. A Lucky Woman C. Good Soldiers D. Clever People

选A。这篇阅读材料主要描述了暴风雨袭击的过程。显然选项A是本文的主旨。 14
