这类题目主要包括事实识别、有关计算、识图、排列顺序等。一般地,这类题目可以直接从短文中找到可用的信息。这些问题一般都涉及到文章的“5W”,即 who(人物),when(时间),where(地点), what(事件),why(原因),how(方式)等。题目设计大多直截了当。只要通读全文,注意文中所述的重要事实或细节,就可以做出正确解答。以图表材料命制的题目更是如此。例如:
03’年山东省烟台市中考“阅读理解”短文(D)中有下面这样一段话:
He/She should have an interest in making pizza. More importantly, he/she should have work experience in a restaurant.
针对这段文字,文后设有这样一道题:
The ad (广告) tells us that ____________________.
A. the assistant must be a man.B. the assistant must have once worked in a restaurant.
C. Pucci Pizza has branches all over China.D. Pucci Pizza is not in Taichung.
【分析】本小题选项B的意思是“要招聘的这个人必须曾在饭馆工作过”。即要具有一定
的从事餐饮业的经验。这与原文中叙述的事实“More importantly, he/she should have work experience in a restaurant.”相比较,形式上虽不大一样,但其内涵却完全相同。如果考生准确地理解了短文中的这句话,问题即可迎刃而解。
又如03’年广东省中考“阅读理解”短文(C)篇中有这样一句话:
In the past, there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.
短文后的题目是:
In the past Lake Ponkapog was surrounded by ________.A. fish B. rain C. birds D. forests
【分析】题目所要问的是“Lake Ponkapog四周过去被什么东西所环绕?” 而阅读材料中已用There be句型表达出了这层意思,句式不同,却有异曲同工之妙。
