“卖给我吧，”收集者敦促道，“我家里面需要一只猫来捉老鼠。我给你20元。”

“猫归你了，”店主接过钱说道。

“还有，”收集者补充道，“我想你是否能把那只旧盘子也额外赠送给我。猫好像很喜欢它。我不愿意看到它失去这东西。”

“对不起，”店主回答说，“但那只托盘能给我带来好运。你不知道，光这一周，我就卖掉68只猫！”

例析英语阅读--查找事实、细节型

这类题目主要包括事实识别、有关计算、识图、排列顺序等。一般地，这类题目可以直接从短文中找到可用的信息。这些问题一般都涉及到文章的“5W”，即 who(人物)，when(时间)，where(地点)， what(事件)，why(原因)，how(方式)等。题目设计大多直截了当。只要通读全文，注意文中所述的重要事实或细节，就可以做出正确解答。以图表材料命制的题目更是如此。例如：

03’年山东省烟台市“阅读理解”短文(D)中有下面这样一段话：

He/She should have an interest in making pizza. More importantly, he/she should have work experience in a restaurant.

针对这段文字，文后设有这样一道题：

The ad (广告) tells us that ____________________.

A. the assistant must be a man. B. the assistant must have once worked in a restaurant.

C. Pucci Pizza has branches all over China. D. Pucci Pizza is not in Taichung.

【分析】本小题选项B的意思是“要招聘的这个人必须曾在饭馆过”。即要具有一定

的从事餐饮业的`经验。这与原文中叙述的事实“More importantly, he/she should have work experience in a restaurant.”相比较，形式上虽不大一样，但其内涵却完全相同。如果考生准确解了短文中的这句话，问题即可迎刃而解。

又如03’年广东省中考“阅读理解”短文(C)篇中有这样一句话：

In the past, there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog 初中英语, so the rainwater was clean.

短文后的题目是：

In the past Lake Ponkapog was surrounded by ________. A. fish B. rain C. birds D. forests

【分析】题目所要问的是“Lake Ponkapog四周过去被什么东西所环绕？” 而阅读材料中已用There be句型表达出了这层意思，句式不同，却有异曲同工之妙。
