一、中考英语阅读理解汇编

1．阅读理解

A couple of sparrows（麻雀） lived happily in a huge tree in a jungle. The female sparrow had laid her eggs and they were expecting their babies soon.

One day, an elephant was unable to tolerate the heat of the summer sun. He destroyed all trees, including the tree where the sparrows lived.

The sparrows managed to escape by flying away, but they lost their babies. The eggs fell down to the ground and broke into pieces. They cried loudly and decided to kill the elephant.

They asked their friends, a woodpecker and a fly for help. The fly took them to meet one of his friends, an old frog. The frog was wise and he came up with a good plan soon.

The frog explained, "Fly! Your task is to buzz in the elephant's ears in order to make him sleepy. The woodpeckers task is to hurt his eyes and make him blind. In this hot summer days, he will certainly search for water. I will sit by the nearby pit（深坑） and shout at the top of my voice." He continued, "When the thirsty elephant hears me, he will think there is a pond or lake nearby and follow my voice. And when he does so, he will fall into the pit and die."

【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文讲的是几个弱小的动物齐心协力杀死大象的故事。两只麻雀因为大象的鲁养行为失去了孩子。他们向啄木鸟和苍蝇求助，苍蝇带他们去见一只青蛙。青蛙想出了一个需要他们共同实施的完美计划，他们成功杀死了那头大象。

（1）词义猜测题。结合上下文 One day, an elephant was unable to tolerate the heat of the summer sun. He destroyed all trees, including the tree where the sparrows lived.的描述可知，天气很热，大象无法“忍受”这种热，就毁坏了所有的树，包括麻雀住的那棵，tolerate的含义是“忍受；容忍”，和stand同义，故答案为B。

（2）细节理解题。根据本段中的“but they lost their babies”以及“They cried loudly and decided to kill the elephant."可知麻雀想杀大象的原因是大象间接杀害了他们的孩子，故答案为C。

（3）推理判断题。通读这五六两段可知，事件发生的顺序是：苍蝇在大象的耳朵边嗡嗡叫→啄木鸟啄瞎大象的眼睛→大象想找水→青蛙在深坑边大叫→大象掉进深坑里死了，故答案为B。

（4）推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讲述几个弱小的动物齐心协力杀死大象的故事，阐述的道理是“众人拾柴火焰高”，故答案为D。

（5）主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲的是麻雀、啄木鸟、苍蝇和青蛙共同实施的一个杀死大象的完美计划，故答案为A。

【点评】考查阅读理解。本文考查细节题，词义推断题，推理判断题和主旨题等常考题型，细节题要注意从文中抓住关键词寻找答案；主旨题，词义推断题以及判断题都需要通读全文，了解大意之后找出正确选项。
