　　纵观全国各地中考试卷，中考阅读理解考试题的比例在整个试卷占了比较大的比例，阅读理解的成绩直接决定学生能否在中考中取得优秀成绩。中考阅读短文的题材除了选一些通俗易懂的文学作品和故事体裁的小短文，还经常选用一些富有时代鲜明特征、实用性比较强的语言材料。例如：报刊杂志的文章、使用说明书、招贴告示、广告和各种各类图表。选择这些材料不仅能够提高测试的真实性，还能展示目标语言在现实生活中的真实运用来激发学生学习英语的兴趣。

　　A. 阅读理解的题型：

　　近几年中考试卷的阅读理解测试题主要有选择型测试题、判断正误型测试题和任务型测试题三种形式。根据阅读理解的题干部分可以分为以下几种测试题型：

　　1. 理解主旨大意题：

　　考查学生对于文章的中心思想或全文梗概的领会、理解和概括能力。我们可以通过“略读-skimming”来获取文章或者段落的主题和主旨大意。在略读时要注意寻找主题句(topic sentence)以帮助理解文章的主题和了解文章的大意。有一些同学可能认为没有仔细阅读文章的细节而感觉不太放心，其实没有必要担心，因为我们了解的文章的大意以后，然后对文章做仔细阅读，比较难的短文理解起来就容易多了。

　　略读时应该注意：主题句一般是短文第一个句子或者最后一个句子，偶尔位于段落的中间;每一段的主题句一般也是在每段的第一、二个句子或者最后一个句子。其次作者提供其写作意图，如：提供信息、描述人物、事物或者事件、讨论问题、说服某人、提出建议或者对两种观点或者事件进行比较。而其他的句子是对主题句的进一步发展及说明性的例子，有时是为主题句提供时间、地点或者原因等背景。

　　实例说明：

　　October 16 is World Food Day. This day is also the anniversary (纪念日) of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (联合国粮农组织). More than 100 countries are holding special events. All of these aims to celebrate the establishment of the FAO in 1945. The theme chosen for this year’s World Food Day is “Water: Source(资源) of Food Security”.

　　A UN report says that over 6 million people have died from hunger and related diseases so far this year alone. More than 850 million people, or about one in seven, around the world do not get enough food, and the need for food will increase as the world’s population grows. The UN also reports that by year 2030, the world may need 60% more food. Most of that increase will have to come from agriculture supported by water irrigation (灌溉). However, fresh water is already in short supply in many countries.

　　Jacques Diouf, the director of the FAO, says that there are 20 countries that do not have enough water to produce enough food for their populations. Ten nations use more than 40% of their total fresh water for agriculture. He fears that the problem will only become worse as the need for water by people and by industry grows. So water is one of the most important things in the world today.

　　( ) 65. The passage is mainly about _________.

　　A. how to celebrate World Food Day　　　　B. the increase of food in many countries

　　C. the importance of water for food　　　 D. the UN Food and Agriculture Organization

　　〔解析〕

　　答案是C。本题是考查短文主题理解能力。从短文的第一段的最后一个句子可以判断短文的主题句是：Water: Source(资源) of Food Security，而第一段开头是引出主题句，其它两段是说明主题句。所以本题“本短文主要是讨论水对于食物的重要性”。
