“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here， child。 I’m sorry，” the salesman said with a smile.

做阅读理解注意五点 
一、五点注意
注意一：试题各小题所提供的四个备选项，有的是语法、结构上有错误，有的是与短文意思不相符。解题时要把有结构、语法错误的先排除，再考虑是否符合短文内容。
注意二：对短文中的生词或看不懂的句子，应大胆根据构词法及上、下文意思进行猜测,尤其对涉及文中某个词或某个句子含义的选择试题，要根据文章所阐述的主要内容及上、下文内在逻辑关系，大胆分析推断，去伪存真选出正确答案。
注意三：对于涉及文章主旨、大意、作者意图及短文标题等选择试题，虽然短文中没有直接说明，可统观全文，通过短文所提供的材料或联想短文材料以外的常识,如结合已学过的自然、社会科学知识加以综合理解、分析推测或按作者的思路进行推理,从而且推断出正确答案。
注意四：做选择试题时一般先做在文中能直接找到依据的细节题，后做主旨题、推理题。这样在对语篇有更多领悟的基础上再进行推理判断和概括总结，把握性就更大。
注意五：阅读的顺序一般是先读短文，再看题目，然后逐题作答。若文章较长，也可以先将测试题目通览一遍，然后带着问题阅读文章。这样对与答题有关的段落、句子反应敏感，而对其他与答题无关的部分可以不必花费太多时间，阅读速度就可加快些.

People often say， “Children can’t do math problem， it’s because parents can’t do their children’s homework。” Here’s an example to show what I mean.
The other day my daughter brought home her math homework。 “I have to subtract (减) 179 from 202,” she said。
“It's quite easy，” I said. “You put the 202 over the 179."
“But we need a 10 here。 Where is the 10?”
“I don’t know where the 10 is. Let’s just subtract 179 from 202。 Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven。 Eight from zero is two。 The answer is 23。”
“We can’t do it that way。 We have to use the 10。”
“Well， I'm going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202."
Over the telephone, I said that I was having a bit of trouble with the homework she had given to my daughter。 The teacher said, “In the right—hand column (栏) we have units of one。 The two in that column counts for two ones. The zero in the center counts for zero tens. The two in the left—hand column counts for hundreds。 Are you clear？” But I didn't think I was clear.
I hung up and found my way to the medicine box. My head was now hurting. I started putting pills of medicine into my mouth. “How many did you take？” my wife asked. “I took one and then I took another…I know one and one was two, but don’t ask me what it is now。”

There was once a man called Mr。 Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass—houses and grew flowers of every color， with long and difficult names, for competitions (比赛)。 He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup (银杯） for the Rose of the Year.
Mr。 Flowers’ glass-houses were very near to a middle school。 Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses。 So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day。
But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times。 Mr。 Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass， but nothing that he had done had been useful。 He had been to school to report to the headmaster； but this had not done any good。 He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could， and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others. 个人收集整理，勿做商业用途
At last Mr。 Flowers had a good idea。 He put up a large notice （布告) made of good, strong wood， some meters away from the glass-houses。 On it he had written the words： DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this， Mr。 Flowers had no further trouble； the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass—houses。

中考英语阅读理解·节约用水

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加纳)， Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning， she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily（日常） cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends。 Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy。
Earth Day is April 22。 But on all other days， we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource（自然资源) on the earth。
Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface(表面）。 But most of that is sea water。 We can't use it for very many things。 Fresh water covers only 1％ of the earth’s surface。
You probably feel lucky that your life isn't as hard as Napoga's. But that doesn’t mean you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars， factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes， and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too。 Now， 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out。
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air。 Then, when it rains， the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty。 Dirty rain， called acid rain(酸雨)， is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water。 We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water：
●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth。 You can save as much as 450 liters(升） each month.
●Leaky taps（漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water。 Fix them right away！
●You can easily cut your 10—minute showers（沐浴） in half—and you’ll be just as clean。
●When you wash dishes， don't let the water run.
●Only w
