中考英語(yǔ)閱讀理解：如何掌握英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)規(guī)則

　　When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “ How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

 

　　Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(規(guī)則) for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

 

　　“She only likes apples.”

 

　　“Only she likes apples.”

 

　　“I have seen the film already.”

 

　　“I have already seen the film.”

 

　　When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神實(shí)質(zhì)) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

　　【答案及解析】

 

　　1. A. 從整篇文章我們知道，在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)翻譯句子時(shí)，我們不能逐字逐詞譯成母語(yǔ)，這樣做是不明智的，結(jié)果是譯成錯(cuò)誤的句子。

 

　　2. B. 從文章中的第二段的這一句中It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. 可知B項(xiàng)為正確答案。

 

　　3. C. 從文章所舉的兩組例子和原句Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. 說(shuō)明了作者的這一觀點(diǎn)：有時(shí)，不同的詞序會(huì)有不同的意思。

 

　　4. B. She only likes apples. only在這句中修飾動(dòng)詞likes，意為“她只喜歡蘋(píng)果，而不喜歡吃其它水果”。Only she likes apples. only在此句中修飾主語(yǔ)she，意為“只有她喜歡蘋(píng)果，而其他人就不一定喜歡吃蘋(píng)果了。”所以正確答案是B。

 

　　5. D. 從整篇文章可以看出其大意是“怎樣學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)?”，把它作為標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是最佳的。
