The earthquake which struck Yunnan Province on August 3rd had a high death number because of its high magnitude, follow-on disasters and the high population of the area.
The death has risen to 615 four days after the powerful earthquake. Among the reported deaths, 526 were in the worst-hit Ludian County and 76 in Qiaojia County. The official count showed that there were 114 missing and 3,143 people injured in the 6.5-magnitude earthquake. And the earthquake caused lots of buildings to fall down, including at least one school.
CCTV says that the earthquake was the strongest that hit Yunnan in the recent 14 years, and the epicenter was in Longtou- shan town in Yunnan’s Ludian County. It also says the government is sending thousands of tents, folding beds, quilts and coats to the affected area. Attempts to reach the epicenter have been stopped by heavy rain, with some rescuers forced to travel on foot.
Southwestern China is often struck by earthquakes. In 2012 an earthquake in the Yunnan region killed at least 80 people.
A week later, a memorial service was held on Sunday in Ludian County for the victims of the 6.5-magnitude earthquake that rocked the area. While people gathered in public places for three minutes of silence, drivers sounded their car horns.
“I am expecting those who lost their loved ones to survive.” said Ke Guoxian, a teacher at the Third Elementary School of Ludian County.
“I am so touched that so many people rushed to help us.” said Ma Siying, a fourth-grader at the school.

1.审视标题,抓住中心
试题中有的文章有标题,有的没有,拟题人是有所考虑的。标题是文章主题的高度凝聚。
它能给我们启发和想象,想象文章的内容和走向。这样做有利于对文章的理解,能提高做题的效率。
2.浏览全文,掌握全貌
如果时间紧,至少要快速通读全文,尤其是首两段。再把标题和文章内容结合起来,这样全文的梗概便一目了然了。
3.细读题目,抓住要点
对整篇短文内容有了一定的了解后,要马上看短文后的问题,带着问题去选择或判断答案。要确定所需查找的信息范围,并注意所查找信息的特点。例如:
如果问题或选项涉及到人名、地名,就应该找首字母大写的单词;如果问题或选项涉及时间、日期、数字,就应该寻找具体的数据。
另外还要注意试题难易,应暂时绕开那些少数较难的题目,先做最有把握、最熟悉的题目,也就是该类题可以直接或间接从文章中找到的。
而对于那些要通过对文章归纳判断、逻辑推理的题目,需要再对全文快速阅读,仔细分析思考,反复比较、推敲选出正确答案。
若文章短可先读短文,后看文后题目;如果文章太长,你可以先把文章后面的问题看一遍,带着问题去看文章。这样可以帮助你去掉杂念,提高阅读速度和解题的正确性。
要善于找关键句,特别要注意文章的第一段和最后一段的头一句话,往往就是关键句,可以帮助你掌握文章的全貌,理解文章的主题。
此外,还应该细读文章,因为有时的试题是考细节。可以边读边用铅笔做点标记,把有关的画出来。凡逢人物就圈起来,看完一数,有几个圈就是几个人,一目了然。
4.细读文章,掌握细节
这次应细品,不可一晃而过。可边读边用铅笔做些记录,把有关的人物、事件、时间、地点、起因(即五个W:who, what, when, where, why)划出来。
经过这样的处理,你对文章的内容和细节便会胸有成竹,对事态的发生、发展和解决有了更加深入的了解。
5.理解大意,初选答案
一般短文都设有五个题目,对那些表层理解的题目可以断然选定。
对那些深层理解的题目,应再查阅原文,但决不是简单重读,应找出依据,把所答案代入文中,再确定正误。
在确定答案时,对文章和题中的词语应结合上下文思考其确切意思,切忌望文生义,作出错误的判断。
6.复读全文,核对答案
要用全文的主题思想统率各思考题,研究其内在的联系和逻辑关系,并依次审核那些未获解答的题,对照题目,推测判断,确保理解无误。
7.瞻前顾后,首尾突破
对一具体问题不要局限于一词一事,而应从短文整体考虑,从主线向外扩展,打开思路,前后上下对照。这样,可减少“钻牛角尖”和“繁琐分析”。而且,在中考试题中,即使是事实和细节题,也是“围绕或用以说明主旨和大意”的。大多数短文,尤其是新闻报道或议论文的第一段,或每段的第一句,常包含了全文的主要信息或基本观点;
而结尾部分常是结局或结论。寓言或幽默文字的结尾也往往是点晴之笔或值得玩味之处。
因此,抓住首尾往往抓住了主要矛盾,主要矛盾解决了,次要矛盾也就迎刃而解了。
