　　中考閱讀理解專項練習答案

　　通讀全文, 故事講述的是車站搬運工John Smith有一天在火車站同一名旅客間的一段對話，故事很幽默。

　　第一個問題是一個細節題，第1段清楚地說明了他的工作：John Smith was an old porter。porter的意思的“(車站、碼頭) 的搬運工人”，如果考生不認識這個詞，也可以由He worked at the station. Everyday he was busy carrying heavy things for the people.這兩句話了解他的工作性質。因此第一個問題的回答：John’s job was to carry heavy things for the people at station. / He was a porter.

　　第二個問題是一個推理題，問題:這名旅客要去哪里。由文中這句旅客的問話Can I catch the 10:35train to London?很容易推斷出他要去倫敦。

　　第三個問題仍要求考生推理得出答案，問題：為什么此人看上去很急的樣子朝火車趕去。很顯然是因為他在趕火車。對why提問要用because進行回答，第三個問題的回答是Because he wanted to catch the10:35 train to London.

　　第四個問題是推理題, 問的是：這名旅客趕到火車站的時間。由下文John的回答The 10:35 train toLondon left five minutes ago可知火車已開走，這名旅客趕到的時間是大約10: 40，因此第四題的回答是It was about10：40 (twenty to eleven) 。第五個問題是歸納題, 考查考生對文章大意的理解。這個問題的回答實際上就是全文的中心句, 在第一自然段里已做了介紹。He was careful with his work. He waskind to everyone and always ready to help others.
