A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as
a Christmas present .On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office ,a street urchin was walking around the shining car .“Is this your car ,Paul ?”he asked .
Paul answered ,“Yes ,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised .“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing ?Boy ,I wish …” He hesitated .
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for .He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on ,“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car ?” “Oh
yes ,I'd love that .”
After a short ride ,the boy turned and with his eyes
shining ,said ,“Paul ,would you mind driving in front of my house ?”
Paul smiled a little .He thought he knew what the boy wanted .He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are ?” the boy asked .
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window s that I've been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

专题18 阅读理解 做阅读理解的五点注意
一、五点注意
注意一:试题各小题所提供的四个备选项,有的是语法、结构上有错误,有的是与短文意思不相符。解题时要把有结构、语法错误的先排除,再考虑是否符合短文内容。
注意二:对短文中的生词或看不懂的句子,应大胆根据构词法及上、下文意思进行猜测,尤其对涉及文中某个词或某个句子含义的选择试题,要根据文章所阐述的主要内容及上、下文内在逻辑关系,大胆分析推断,去伪存真选出正确答案。
注意三:对于涉及文章主旨、大意、作者意图及短文标题等选择试题,虽然短文中没有直接说明,可统观全文,通过短文所提供的材料或联想短文材料以外的常识,如结合已学过的自然、社会科学知识加以综合理解、分析推测或按作者的思路进行推理,从而且推断出正确答案。 注意四:做选择试题时一般先做在文中能直接找到依据的细节题,后做主旨题、推
理题。这样在对语篇有更多领悟的基础上再进行推理判断和概括总结,把握性就更大。
注意五:阅读的顺序一般是先读短文,再看题目,然后逐题作答。若文章较长,也可以先将测试题目通览一遍,然后带着问题阅读文章。这样对与答题有关的段落、句子反应敏感,而对其他与答题无关的部分可以不必花费太多时间,阅读速度就可加快些。 二、实例分析(共五篇,答案均有解析
