Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed , the word has had many different meanings. “Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street , maybe you will say , “It’s cool. ”You may think , “He’s so cool , ”when you see your favorite footballer. We all maximize the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used . A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited . On one student’s paper was just the one sentence , “It’s so cool .”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity of words. Without“cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning . So it is quite important to keep some credibility . Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word“cool”? I can . And I think they are also very cool. 注：maximize擴(kuò)大；waterfall瀑布；scarcity缺乏；credibility 可信性；suggests暗示 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇正確答案： 1. We know that the word “cool”has had ______.

The girls were talking about what they were going to wear. 短文后設(shè)有如下一個(gè)問(wèn)題： On Friday evening there would be ______. A. a school party B. a school meeting C. a sports meeting D. a birthday party ［解題指導(dǎo)］此題的題干On Friday evening there would be _______. 如果與原文中敘述的事實(shí)： There would be a school party on Friday evening. 相比較，可以說(shuō)是“大同小異”。二者的差異僅是 詞序不同?？忌绻苷_理解原文中所敘述的事實(shí)，便不難看出空白處所缺少的正是A項(xiàng)：a school party。 又如該短文敘述的另一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)： The party was held on Friday evening . Groups of students arrived . The music began . The girls stood in a line on one side , and the boys on another side. 短文后有下面一個(gè)問(wèn)題：What happened when the music began ? 與原文中敘述的細(xì)節(jié)The girls stood in a line on one side , and the boys on another side. 相比較，選擇項(xiàng)：D. The girls stood on one side , and the boys on another side. 最為接近。答案中僅缺少短語(yǔ)“in a line”（站成一 列），顯然，缺少這一短語(yǔ)，也不影響該事實(shí)的存在。 2. 同義轉(zhuǎn)換，著重內(nèi)涵 （1）詞句同義。例如： xx年廣州中考“閱讀理解”題短文（A）中有這樣一句話： If you see a shark , swim slowly for the shore. 針對(duì)這句話短文后有下面一個(gè)問(wèn)題： When a swimmer meets a shark , he should ______. 此題的答案是：B. swim slowly to the shore. ［解題指導(dǎo)］根據(jù)此題的答案，不難看出：原文中的條件句（If you see a shark）在問(wèn)句中轉(zhuǎn)換成了 時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句（When a swimmer meets a shark），原文中主體的動(dòng)作也由“see a shark”，轉(zhuǎn)換成了 “meet a shark”，但是語(yǔ)意的內(nèi)涵并未發(fā)生變化，屬于同義句轉(zhuǎn)換。其答案swim slowly to the shore與 原文中的swim slowly for the shore也完全同義。 （2）語(yǔ)段同義。例如： xx年上海中考“閱讀理解”題短文（A）中有這樣兩段話： Sally was a college student . It was going to be her mother’s birthday soon . She wondered what she could buy her as a present. After she had looked for half an hour , she came into a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas , and decided to buy one , since her mother had lost her umbrella the month before. 短文之后有下面一道正誤判斷題：Sally wanted to buy an umbrella for her mother. ［解題指導(dǎo)］ 盡管原文中沒(méi)有“Sally wanted to buy an umbrella for her mother. ”這句話。但是原文中提到： Sally 的母親快過(guò)生日了（It was going to be her mother’s birthday soon. ），她很想為母親買件禮 物（She wondered what she could buy her as a present. ）。她后來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)商店賣傘（she came into a shop that was selling umbrellas），而她母親又需要一把雨傘（…h(huán)er mother had lost her umbrella the month before. ）。上述兩段話所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容“Sally wanted to buy an umbrella for her mother. ”一語(yǔ)道破。顯然，二者用語(yǔ)雖然各異，但內(nèi)涵相同，所表達(dá)的意思完全吻合。 3. 把握數(shù)據(jù)，注意推算 中考“閱讀理解”中的數(shù)據(jù)推算并不要求高深的數(shù)學(xué)知識(shí)。在有關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)推算的試題中，根據(jù)短文所提供 的數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行必要的運(yùn)算時(shí)所涉及的數(shù)學(xué)知識(shí)一般都比較簡(jiǎn)單，關(guān)鍵在于理解原文。例如：xx年南京中考 “閱讀理解”短文B中有這樣一道題涉及數(shù)據(jù)推算： I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen . That may be why I went to an art school four years later … When I left school , I got some money . I hope to bee a full-time craftswoman. 短文后有如下一個(gè)問(wèn)題： When finishing school studies , the writer was about ______. A. 14 B. 16 C. 18 D. 21 ［解題指導(dǎo)］ 原文中提到：作者（The writer）14歲時(shí)曾因繪畫(huà)得獎(jiǎng)（I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. ），四年之后進(jìn)美術(shù)學(xué)校（I went to art school four years later）。不難算出 該生入校時(shí)的年齡為14＋4＝18（歲）。針對(duì)這段話，試卷所提出的問(wèn)題是：作者畢業(yè)時(shí)（When finishing school studies）的年齡是多少。盡管短文沒(méi)有談到這所美術(shù)學(xué)校的學(xué)制，但是作者畢業(yè)時(shí)的年齡一定大于 18歲，故干擾項(xiàng)A、B、C均應(yīng)排除。于是，選擇項(xiàng)D是唯一可選的。該校的學(xué)制為3年（18－21），也是完全 可能的。 【模擬試題】 A “Where are you going to spend your holiday ? ”Misha asked his friends when they were on their way home from school. “I don’t know , ”Victor said . “My father and mother have not yet decided . This evening we are going to talk about it . ” “But I know , ”Lena said , “We usually spend our holidays at the seaside .
