Question

A man got lost in a desert. He walked for two days but he still couldn’t find his way out. Dying for water, he found an empty house in the desert. There was a water pump(水泵）in the house!

The man was so happy that he ran to draw water. But no water how hard he tried, no matter came out.

He was sitting sadly on the ground when he saw a little bottle with a cork in it. On the bottle, there was an old note saying: You must add the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t forget to fill it with water again before you leave! The man took the cork out and found the bottle was full of water!

If I’m selfish（自私的）, as long as I drink the water, I can go out of this room alive, he thought. If I do as the note says, I might die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?

At last, he decided to do as the note said and began to draw water. Sure enough, lots of water started coming out from the pump!

After he drank enough, he filled the bottle with water and added his words after the note.

“Believe me, do as the note tells you!” he wrote.

【解析】短文大意：一名男子在沙漠中迷路后，来到一所房子里，看见房子里有一个水泵，还有一张便条，便条上写着，先将瓶子里的水倒入水泵，然后在取水喝，最后再往瓶子里装满水。男子犹豫了一会，克服了自私的心理，按照便条上所说的去做，喝到了水。

1.词义猜测题。根据上文中的句子“There was a water pump(水泵）in the house!”看到房子里有一个水泵，渴望得到水的男子自然很高兴，跑向前去取水，答案为B。

2.细节判断题。根据“On the bottle, there was an old note saying”判断，A错误，on the bottle而非under the bottle；根据“At last, he decided to do as the note said and began to draw water.”判断，他没有喝掉瓶子里的水，而是先抽水，答案B错误；根据“Believe me, do as the note tells you!” he wrote.判断，他想让别人也按照便条上写的那样去做，答案C正确；根据“After he drank enough, he filled the bottle with water”，喝到水之后，他又往瓶子里装满了水，D答案错误。

3.细节理解题。根据文中句子“You must add the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t forget to fill it with water again before you leave! The man took the cork out and found the bottle was full of water!”可知，取水步骤是：拔出瓶塞，把瓶子里的水进入泵，抽水，故答案为D。

4.主旨大意题。根据文中那名男子的行为，告诉我们人不能自私，不要自私是很重要的。答案选B。

点睛：阅读理解中考查的题型主要有细节理解题 、主旨大意题、推理判断题（普通推断、推断文章出处）、词义猜测题等题型。在解答词义猜测题时，由于短文中出现了部分生词，在不允许查字典的情况下，只能运用“猜测词义法”来猜测单词的意思。猜词的技巧有多种，可以通过因果关系，对比关系猜词；也可以通过同义词，反义词或构词法猜词，如第1小题，可以通过上下文语境，运用逻辑推理能力，准确猜出词义。通读前文内容可知，沙漠中的男子口渴难耐，当看到房子里有一个水泵，渴望得到水的男子自然很高兴，跑向前去取水，故答案为B。
