短文缩写型阅读理解答题技巧
短文缩写型填空题主要考查学生对短文文意的理解程度，以及用不同方式表达同一意思的能力。需要同学们具有坚实的英语基础知识，而且要具备较强的综合运用能力。答题时应做到：
1.熟读原文。掌握文章中的基本事实及细节，尽量体会文章的中心内容。
2.谋篇布局。注意人称、时态、因果关系、事件的先后等是否有变化，如有变化，应怎么进行调整。
3.简化难度。把与原文相同的词语或变化不大的词语填入相应的空白处，以简化试题的难度，消除一般的障碍。
4.概括分析。由于短文缩写填空要求符合原文意思，对于不能在原文中找出的词语就需要学生自己去分析、理解和概括，同时找出适当的词语或表达方式以使缩写短文自然、流畅，符合原文意思。
5.通查短文。检查范围包括：单词拼写、叙事角度、语言是否流畅、动词的时态语态、主谓一致、句与句之间的连接是否自然、与原文意思有无差异等方面。

Passage 1
There was a traveler who was wet and cold because he had ridden in the rain.At last he reached a country inn （乡村小酒店）.The inn was so crowded with people that he could not get near the fire.① So he called to the inn keeper， “Take some fish to my horse！” The inn keeper answered， “But the horse doesnt eat fish.” The traveler then said， “Never mind， do it as I tell you.” The crowd of people， hearing this strange order （命令）， ran out to see the horse eat fish.The traveler， now having the whole room to himself， sat down beside the fire and got himself warm.
When the inn keeper came back with the crowd of people， he said， “Your horse would not eat fish.” The traveler answered， “Never mind， put it on the table， and when I have dried my clothes， I will have it myself.”

Passage 2
When you want to go shopping， you should decide first how much money you can pay for new clothes.Think about the kind of clothes you really need.Then look for those clothes on sale， that is to say， you can buy some new clothes at a lower price.①
There are labels （标签） inside all new clothes.The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes.The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water.A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water.The label on a coat may say “Dry Clean Only”.Washing may ruin （破坏） this coat.If you do as the directions say on the label， you can keep your clothes looking their best.
②
Many clothes today must be drycleaned.Drycleaning is expensive.When you buy new clothes， you should look at them carefully to make sure if they need to be drycleaned.You will save money if you buy clothes that can wash easily.
If you buy some wellmade clothes， you can save money because they can last longer.They look good even after they have been washed many times.Sometimes some clothes cost more money， but it does not mean that they are always better made， or they always fit （合身） better.In other words， some less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.

Passage 3
For several years， Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe （欧洲）.In a number of European countries， people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes， jewelry， food， toys， and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden， for example.The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries， and in one year it made ＄100 million.In France there are two teleshopping channels， and the French spend about ＄20 million a year to buy things through these channels.
In Germany， until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day.Then the government allowed （允许） more telepshopping.Other channels can open for telebusiness， including （包括） the largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company.German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes.① With all the problems of traffic in the cities， this is an important reason.But at the same time， other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.They call teleshopping “junk （垃圾） on the air”.Many Europeans usually worry about the quality （质量） of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them， and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.②
译注
① Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes.
一些人喜欢电话购物，因为它允许人们不必离开家就能购物。
