sentence“How do you do?as an example.If you look up eachword in the dictionary,one at a time,what is your translation?It must be a wrong sentence in yourown language.Languages do not just have different sounds,they are different in many ways.hf s important tomaster（掌 握）the rules（规 则）for word order in the study of English,too.If the speaker putswords in a wrong order,the listener can,t understand the speaker s sentence easily.Sometimeswhen 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 doesnt change.Lets see thedifference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.,4tOnly she likes apples.“have seen the film already.,t4I have alreadyseen theWhen you are

EnglishC.How to Put English into Our Own LanguageD.How to Learn English【答案与解析】1.A.从整篇文章我们知道，在学习英语翻译句子时，我们不能逐字逐词译成母语，这样做是不明智的，结果是译成错误的句子。2.B.从文章中的第二段的这一句中 It s important to master the rules for word order in thestudy of English,to o.可知B 项为正确答案。3.C.从文章所举的两组例子和原句 Sometimes when the order of words in an Englishsentence is changed,the meaning of the sentence changes.说明了作者的这 观点：有时，不同的词序会有不同的意思。4.B.She only likes apples,only在这句中修饰动词likes,意 为“她只喜欢苹果，而不喜欢吃其它水果 o Only she likes apples,only在此句中修饰主语she,意 为“只有她喜欢苹果，而其他人就不一定喜欢吃苹果了。”所以正确答案是B o5.D.从整篇文章可以看出其大意是“怎样学习英语？，把它作为标题应该是最佳的。2A cheap sweaterMr.Ford

off,but he couldnt.In the end,with the help of his wife,he got out of thesweater.Mrs.Ford laughed,44 You see,you bought a cheap thing,but.”阅读短文，然后根据文章内容判断下列各句是否正确，对 的 用“T”、错 误 的 用“F”表示。1.Mr.Ford bought the sweater because it was very nice and cheap.2.Shrink“here means“become smaller,.3.Mr.Ford was not good at buying things.4.Mr.Ford put the sweater on as soon as he bought it.5.Mr.Ford took off the sweater by himself.【答案与解的】L T.第 1 小题的句意与文章的第1 自然段意思相同，所以符合短文内容。2.T.从文章的第四自然段可知shrink的意思就是become smaller o所以符合短文内容。3.T.Ford先生.上午买的衣服下午穿在身上被雨水打湿后就缩小变形了，由此可知Ford先生不擅长买东西。4.F.从文章中的 When he went back home he put the sweater o n.可 知,他是买了带回家才穿的。所以第四小题与短文内容不相符合。5.F.从文章的最后一段可知他是在妻子的帮助下才把衣服给脱下来的。所以与短文内容不相符合。初三英语阅读练习（四）根据下面一篇短文的内容判断下列句子的正误，正 确 的 用“A”表示，错 误 的 用 表示。1 Miss Grey lived in a small

the old man didn t getinto a taxi.We followed（跟 随）him and found he went into a pub（小 酒 店）and boughthimself a glass of whiskey（威T 二忌）with the pound.After he drank it,he put on his hat andtook up one of

推断题。她头天打电话来骂他时，尽管他来不及说话她挂了电话，但也可打过去或者第二天某个时候打给她，说他没有狗。而 要 等 2 4 小时后的凌晨3 点才打电话告诉她，这不是故意惩罚她吗？21 .A 推理判断题。虽然文中不可直接找到答案，但由后文的bought himself a glass of whiskey（威 士 忌）with the pound.中 pound 前用的是 the（那）和 he sold it again 中的again（又）可推断出，作者和他母亲买了那个老人的伞。2 .B 事实细节题。由文中所述这个老人收钱后并没乘tax i回家，而 是 去 p u b 喝酒可知。3.A 推理判断题。他要将伞卖给作者时说for only a pound中 的 only可以推断，那把伞不只值1 英镑。4.B 推理判断题。这个老头先卖给了作者一把伞，可是他喝酒后又took up one of
