Question

【題目】 One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(監(jiān)獄）. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

At that moment，I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults， when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt(嘗試). They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure .

However，with kids，when they fall down，they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. What’s more，they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words，they allow themselves to make mistakes，so they remain energetic.

【解析】

文章大意：作者通過(guò)對(duì)比孩子和成年人對(duì)待跌倒的不同態(tài)度教育我們要不怕失敗，堅(jiān)持不懈地勇敢嘗試，這樣才能成功。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的句子The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.可知，當(dāng)小男孩摔倒后會(huì)站起來(lái)繼續(xù)跑，臉上仍然帶著微笑，好像什么都沒(méi)有發(fā)生。答案為C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的句子“However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience.”然而對(duì)于孩子們來(lái)說(shuō)，當(dāng)他們跌倒時(shí)，他們不會(huì)把跌倒視為一種失敗，相反他們把跌倒視為一種學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷。答案為D。

【3】根據(jù)第二段中的句子“Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt(嘗試).”可知，作者認(rèn)為許多成年人不能夠成功，是因?yàn)樗麄円坏┦�敗，就不�?huì)再嘗試了。故答案為C。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。從句中“they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic（他們可能自己認(rèn)為失敗是很正常的，失敗也不是什么錯(cuò)事。換句話說(shuō)，他們?cè)试S自己犯錯(cuò)誤，所以他們保持動(dòng)力和活力），故答案選A。

【5】主旨大意題。從全文中也可以看出作者對(duì)于失敗是很樂(lè)觀的，可以把失敗當(dāng)作一次學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)，一次又一次地嘗試，直到成功。A. Practice makes perfect.孰能生巧；B. Failure is the mother of success.失敗是成功之母；C. All roads lead to Rome.條條大道通羅馬；D. Each coin has two sides.任何事情都有兩面性。因此說(shuō)失敗是成功之母，答案為B。

閱讀理解中考查的題型主要有細(xì)節(jié)理解題、主旨大意題、推理判斷題（普通推斷、推斷文章出處）、詞義猜測(cè)題等題型。在解答詞義猜測(cè)題時(shí)，由于短文中出現(xiàn)了部分生詞，在不允許查字典的情況下，只能運(yùn)用“猜測(cè)詞義法”來(lái)猜測(cè)單詞的意思。猜詞的技巧有多種，可以通過(guò)因果關(guān)系，對(duì)比關(guān)系猜詞；也可以通過(guò)同義詞，反義詞或構(gòu)詞法猜詞，以及上下文的句意去判斷，如第4小題，可以通過(guò)上下文語(yǔ)境，運(yùn)用邏輯推理能力，準(zhǔn)確猜出詞義。
