On this day in 1813, the United States gets its nickname, Uncle Sam. The name is linked to Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Troy, New York, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812.Wilson () stamped the barrels with “U.S.” for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as “Uncle Sam’s.” The local newspaper picked up on the story and Uncle Sam eventually gained widespread acceptance as the nickname for the U.S. federal government.
In the late 1860s and 1870s, political cartoonist Thomas Nast () began popularizing the image of Uncle Sam. Nast continued to evolve the image, eventually giving Sam the white beard and stars-and-stripes suit that are associated with the character today. The German-born Nast was also credited with creating the modern image of Santa Claus as well as coming up with the donkey as a symbol for the Democratic Party and the elephant as a symbol for the Republicans. Nast also famously lampooned the corruption of New York City’s Tammany Hall in his editorial cartoons and was, in part, responsible for the downfall of Tammany leader William Tweed.
Perhaps the most famous image of Uncle Sam was created by artist James Montgomery Flagg (). In Flagg’s version, Uncle Sam wears a tall top hat and blue jacket and is pointing straight ahead at the viewer. During World War I, this portrait of Sam with the words “I Want You For The U.S. Army” was used as a recruiting poster. The image, which became immensely popular, was first used on the cover of Leslie’s Weekly in July 1916 with the title “What Are You Doing for Preparedness?” The poster was widely distributed and has subsequently been re-used numerous times with different captions.
In September 1961, the U.S. Congress recognized Samuel Wilson as “the progenitor of America’s national symbol of Uncle Sam.” Wilson died at age 88 in 1854, and was buried next to his wife Betsey Mann in the Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, New York, the town that calls itself “The Home of Uncle Sam.”

was是be动词is的过去式,一般加形容词,比如strist严格,加动词比如swim,run就表示正在发生,did则是在其他情况使用,他的原样是Do,did是他的过去式,表示已经发生了,do是助动词,问时需要一个助动词也就是do来帮助动词,比如Do you want to swim?
stay是动词，如果改为陈述句就会发现原句中就没有be动词，所以不是用was

famous&&&&&&&&& B. strict&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C. proud
【答案】31-35 BABCB& 36-40 ACABC
31. 整篇文章都是在讲Bruce攒钱买自行车所以选择文章中心词bicycle
32. 考察上下文。前句话讲Bruce数钱，所以此处自然选择money这个词。
33. 考察介词。由空格前面的the only one推出Bruce没有单车用without.
34. 考察特殊疑问词。Bruce不知道能做什么，所以选择what，干扰选项是how，若要用how，则句子要变成how he could do it.
35. 考察名词的辨析。根据上下文，Bruce向别人询问建议，所以是ask sb. foradvice
36. 考察名词的辨析。由文章后面提到的every day判断Bruce 是工作了3个月，minute表示分钟；second表示秒钟
37. 考察动词。根据文章的复现原则，在第二段第一句话出现过He carefully counted the coins 得出这个地方也选择counted这个动词。
38. 考察动词。根据文章的逻辑关系，Bruce 攒够了钱以后去店里买或者挑选单车，所以选择choose. sell表示卖；drive表示驾驶
39. 考察动词。由本句的proudly一词看出Bruce满足的神情，所以是去朋友面前“展示和炫耀”选择showing
40. 考察形容词。考察固定搭配词组， be proud of 为……感到骄傲。

50. Which is the best title(标题) for the passage?

【答案】CBABC
46．细节题。该题用题干定位（定位词Richard）到第一段，然后分析选项A选项错误在music
room，第一段没有提到，排除A，B选项错误在文不对题，与题干Richard’s dream school不一致，属于混写答案，排除B，所以答案为C
47．细节题。该题用题干定位（定位词Wu）到第三段，在定位到与题干相关的信息句I think it would be great to have another day off every week,
besides the weekend.解题关键在于对besides的理解，除了…（包含），即周末两天外加another
day，共三天，答案为B
48.& 细节题。该题为分散型细节，从文章中找出对应的国家进行排除，根据每段的第一句即可得出答案为B。
49．细节题。该类型的细节题用选项定位排除法解题。B选项中的Richard与at 10 o’clock属于混写答案，不一致，at 10 o’clock出现在第三段，排除B。C选项错误在选项与文章信息句相悖，定位在第四段第二句，. I also think it’s not necessary for us to wear school uniforms
every day该句与C选项不一致的原因在于like wearing与not necessary的意思相悖，排除C
50．主旨题。该题为标题题，选取最好的标题，那么主旨大意题重点抓首句，根据每段的首句都在讲述自己梦想的一个学校是怎么样的，而选项中A选项属于无中生有即排除，B选项错误在于范围过大，文章讲述的仅是四个人对school的一种描述，而非school today，排除B；该题同样可以用反推法解题，假设选项为标题，文章会怎么写，从而进行排除。
难度：★★
This March, the H7N9 virus(病毒) hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and
so on. It seemed that most people who were infected(被感染) with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people
suffered from a fever or a cough.
Don’t be afraid— it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is
some advice to help you protect yourself when it comes.
your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat,
after you use the toilet, and after you touch animals, because your hands may
carry viruses.
Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneezes(打喷嚏) or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as
one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distance(距离) while talking to someone who has a cold.
And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of& paper when you sneeze or cough, and then
clean your hands.
a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can
stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no
use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear the mask in the groups of
sports often. Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist the virus.
51. When did the H7N9 virus hit Shanghai?
A. In March, 2013&&&& B. In May, 2013&&&&& C. In March, 2012
52. Which of the following is TRUE according
to the passage?
A. Some people who were infected with the
H7N9 virus had a toothache.
B. You should cover your mouth and nose with
a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough.
C. Some doctors say that masks can stop the
flu as much as 100%
53. How many ways to stop the virus are
mentioned in the passage?
A. Three&&&&&&&&&&& B. Four&&&&&&&&& C. Five
54. What does the underlined word “resist”
mean in Chinese?
A. 抵抗&&&&&&&&&&& B. 传播&&&&&&&&& C. 感染
55. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. It tells us how to wash hands.
B. It tells us why we should use masks.
C. It gives us some advice on how to
protect ourselves when the H7N9 virus comes.
【答案】ABBAC
51．细节题。该题用定位词Shanghai定位到第一句，this March即可得出答案为A。
52．细节题。该题用选项排除法解题，A选项定位在第一段第二句和第三句，选项A错误在toothache，C选项定位倒数第二段的第二句，Some doctors say that masks can
stop the flu as much as 80%,与选项Cas
much as 80%不符合，所以答案为B
53．细节题。该题为分散型细节题，根据题干要求以及定位到第二段Here is some advice to help you
protect yourself when it comes.往下数，即可得出Wash your hands. Cover your nose and mouth.Wear a mask(口罩).Do sports often. 四点，即可得出答案为B
54．细节题（猜词题）。根据Exercises will help make your body strong
enough to resist the virus，其中to表目的，锻炼能够有强壮的身体去抵抗病毒，也可用选项代入法解题，选取最符合文章逻辑的，答案为B
55．主旨题。该题属于主旨题中主题题，分析选项，A属于文章中的段落主旨，属于文章细节，不能代替主旨，排除A，同理，B选项排除，答案为C。该题也同样可用反推法解题。

Liu Wei is very famous in China

One day when Liu Wei was only 10
years old, he player a game with some friends. He lost both his arms because of
the electricity(电)。
Liu Wei was very sad when both his
arms were cut off after the accident. But soon he had to make a choice.
“For people like me, there were
only two choices. One was to give up all the dreams, which would cause a quick
death. The other was to work hard without arms to live an excellent life.”Says
Liu’s dream was to be a pianist.
His excellent life included a show on China’s Got Talent(《中国达人秀》) and a wonderful performance(演奏) playing the beautiful Marriage D’amour with
his two feet on the piano.
Liu Wei learned to play the piano
with his feet. And teaching himself to play the piano with his feet was very
hard. Many times he wanted to give it up, but his parents went on encouraging(鼓励) him and he wanted to make his parents
Maybe you can not believe that Liu
Wei is able to play well only with his toes. The audience(观众) were deeply moved and very excited when

【解析】根据历年长沙中考阅读出题原则，即“文章顺序与出题顺序一致原则”，可以从文章第一段的第一句找到题目对应的答案“Liu Wei is very famous in China
because he can play the piano with the toes(脚趾)。
62.【答案】When Liu Wei was only 10 years old,
he lost his arms.
【解析】62题所问“How old”,学生需要形成一个条件反射，即在文章中寻找数字，再根据“文章顺序与出题顺序一致原则”，可以马上锁定在第二段第一句“当刘伟10岁时候，因为和朋友们在一起玩，不小心触碰到了电，而失去了双手。”
63.【答案】Yes, he was.
【解析】63题为本类阅读文章中必考的一种题型，一般疑问句。看到此问题，学生的第一反应为“Yes or No.”再利用中考阅读中细节题技巧之“在题干中找专有名词和普通名词”画出“Liu Wei”和“arms”,定位在文章中第三段第一句“Liu Wei was very sad when both his arms were cut off after the
accident.”再一次印证了“文章顺序与出题顺序一致原则”。
64.【答案】His parents.
【解析】本题所问的是“Who”，那么学生的第一反应即到文章中找“人”。一眼扫下来，第四段和第五段都没有出现除了刘伟之外的人，而在第六段中出现了 “his
parents went on encouraging(鼓励)
him and he wanted to make his parents proud.”所以答案为his
65.【答案】The audience were deeply moved and
very excited when they watched his performance.
【解析】根据“文章顺序与出题顺序一致原则”，最后一题应该出现在64题（即第六段）之后，也就是文章的最后一段，找到了观众的反应“The audience(观众) were deeply moved and very excited”。
