中考閱讀理解實戰(zhàn)演練之日常生活篇1
For many people the subject of hiccups (嗝) is a joke, but for Harry Mendes, a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham, it was something quite different.
His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and continued day and night for two weeks. After the first week, Harrys parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack.
Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.
When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didnt do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didnt work either.
After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldnt find anything wrong.
They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.
Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne, who hiccupped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.

【答案與解析】
打嗝是很常見的生理現(xiàn)象。本文向我們講述了這樣一個小故事：哈利從某一個周日開始打嗝，日夜不停地持續(xù)了兩個星期。父母將他送到醫(yī)院，大夫花了一個星期的時間才將其治愈。短文最后說，哈利是幸運的，因為世界記錄保持者，查利斯打嗝時間長達(dá)六十八年，并且最終也沒有查明他打嗝的原因。
1. 選B 由文中第二段His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and continued day and night for two weeks.一句可知His hiccups lasted fourteen days.
2. 選C 標(biāo)題下的那句話對此題有很大的啟示作用。亨利是因為吃了Indian food才開始打嗝的。
3. 選D 去醫(yī)院的原因應(yīng)該是不停地打嗝，其它選項提供的理由不充分，也不全面。
4. 選A 亨利服藥一周后痊愈，其它方法均無效。
5. 選A 可用驚嚇治療打嗝。文中提到My father even tried to give me a shock but that didnt work either.
