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：作者通過對比孩子和成年人對待跌倒的不同態(tài)度教育我們要不怕失敗，堅持不懈地勇敢嘗試，這樣才能成功。

【1】細節(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，當小男孩摔倒后會站起來繼續(xù)跑，臉上仍然帶著微笑，好像什么都沒有發(fā)生。答案為C。

【2】細節(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.”然而對于孩子們來說，當他們跌倒時，他們不會把跌倒視為一種失敗，相反他們把跌倒視為一種學習經(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，作者認為許多成年人不能夠成功，是因為他們一旦失敗，就不會再嘗試了。故答案為C。

【4】詞義猜測題。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（他們可能自己認為失敗是很正常的，失敗也不是什么錯事。換句話說，他們允許自己犯錯誤，所以他們保持動力和活力），故答案選A。

【5】主旨大意題。從全文中也可以看出作者對于失敗是很樂觀的，可以把失敗當作一次學習的機會，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）、詞義猜測題等題型。在解答詞義猜測題時，由于短文中出現(xiàn)了部分生詞，在不允許查字典的情況下，只能運用“猜測詞義法”來猜測單詞的意思。猜詞的技巧有多種，可以通過因果關系，對比關系猜詞；也可以通過同義詞，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，可以通過上下文語境，運用邏輯推理能力，準確猜出詞義。
