　　 Passage C

　　 From the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.

　　 Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia(波利尼西亚)it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.

　　 Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing(祝福).They do it to show that

　　 they want a sick person to get well,or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places,spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many

　　 countries,it may mean that you hate someone.

　　 When we go to visit someone we sayHello!OrHow are you? or things like that.

　　 But if you are visiting an East African village,everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly,without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.

　　 In a village in Arab,a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front,he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse.

　　 Part Four 总结

　　 《九年义务教育全日制初级中学英语教学大纲》对读的要求如下:①能预习课文,初步理解课文大意。②学会查词典,能借助词典阅读难度相当于课文的材料,并理解其大意。③能独立阅读所学语言知识范围内的材料,生词率不超过3%。三年制和四年制的阅读速度分别是每分钟40-50和50-60个单词,理解正确率达到70%。

　　 阅读能力强的标志不仅指阅读速度快,而且还要求理解率高。具体体现在如下几个方面:①掌握所读材料的大意,以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。②既能理解具体的事实,也能理解抽象的概念。③既能理解字面意思,也能理解深层含义(包括作者的态度、意图及倾向等)。④既能理解某一句话、某一段落的意义,也能理解全篇的逻辑关系,并能据此进行推理和判断。⑤既能根据材料所提供的信息解决问题,也能结合必备的常识(包括生活常识和相关的其他学科知识等)去理解和处理题目设置的疑难问题。

　　 中考阅读复习建议:

　　 1.背单词相结合,由于考试过程中不允许考生查字典,因此,要想解答好阅读理解题必须做到掌握相当的词汇量。词汇不过关,处处是难关。平常要多背诵一些基础词汇、词组、习惯短语等。教材中出现的重要句型也必须牢记。这样就能为顺利阅读提供强有力的保障。同时在记忆词汇时,要注意单词的词性及一词多义现象,这样对阅读中碰到的生词的推断会有一定的帮助。

　　 2.平时多看一些英文书籍做积累,加强听、说、读、写、译五项基本技能的训练,创造良好的语境。通过多听、多说、多读、多写、多译,逐步培养语感,提高综合运用语言知识的能力,为阅读能力的提高奠定坚实的基础。

　　 3.历年的中考真题拿来仔细研究, 研究近几年全国各省市中考英语试题,我们发现阅读理解题呈现出这样几个特点:①题材新颖,原汁原味,趣味性强;②贴近生活实际,极具可读性;③反映社会热点,富于时代气息;④题目设计巧妙,匠心独运;⑤考查能力综合化;⑥选材广泛,信息量大。所涉及内容包罗万象,不仅涉及生活百科,自然科学,而且也触及天文地理,异域风情等。

　　 4.制定月计划、周计划、日计划

　　 5.课本为依据

　　 最后我送给大家一个典故,一个天使angel曾经问过上帝这样一个问题,你们要听好:when did Noah build the Ark? 这句话的中文意思就是:诺亚什么时候建的方舟?上帝听了转头微微一笑回答说:Before the rain. 在雨前建的。这句话蕴涵了很深的道理对不对?你们现在初三,中考对于你们越来越近。我打个比方,大家现在好比站在平原上面快乐地跳舞、快乐地奔跑、快乐地嬉戏。。。。但是你有没有想到在一年之后,有一场暴雨肯定要来临,席卷每个人,所有人都不能幸免。当洪水漫过你的口鼻,抑制住你的呼吸时,你就会想我的方舟在哪里?到那时你只能潸然泪下,带着遗憾变成一具死尸了。所以同学们趁着现在我们还在平原上,阳光还灿烂,让我们拿起笔,作为我们的斧头,砍下属于我们的第一根树枝,从这第一根树枝起构建我们自己的方舟。希望大家在中考时都能拥有自己的方舟。
