六、阅读表达
阅读下面的短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在横线上。
Ladies and gentlemen，welcome to England! I'm your guide，Alice. I'm very glad to be with you when you stay in the UK. To have a good time here，please be careful with yourselves! Here are some useful tips for you.
First，the weather here is very changeable. It can be rainy，sunny，cloudy，windy，stormy，warm，foggy or cold at any time of the year. If it is raining when you get up in the morning，it can be hot and dry in the afternoon. It may be sunny when you get up，but when you go out，it may be rainy. So don't forget to take an umbrella with you. The west of England is wetter than the east，and the north is colder than the south. You should be used to any kind of weather.
Second，in England，shops are usually open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Sundays，some shops are open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. But a lot of shops are not open. Banks，museums or other places are open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You can go to the parks at any time.
Third，all the cities have buses，trains and taxis. People wait in line for buses and they will be unhappy if you push in at the front. Don't forget that traffic goes on the left.
That's all! Enjoy yourselves and please give me a call if necessary!
1. What's the weather like in the UK?

2. How will they feel if you push in at the front when they wait in line?

3. Do you like to go travelling in the UK? Why or why not?

1. It is changeable.
2. They will feel unhappy.
3. Yes, I do. Because there are many fun places to visit. / No, I don't. Because I don't like the weather there. (言之有理即可)

【分析】首先通读短文，明确各问题的考查方向：第1题考查英国的天气特点，需定位短文第二段相关内容；第2题考查排队时插队的后果，定位短文第四段对应语句；第3题是开放性问题，需结合短文内容（如天气、交通、旅游相关内容等）合理表达观点。
【解析】1. 从短文第二段第一句“the weather here is very changeable”可直接提取答案，即英国天气多变；2. 从短文第四段“People wait in line for buses and they will be unhappy if you push in at the front.”可知，插队会让排队的人感到不开心；3. 开放性问题，可结合短文提到的英国旅游相关内容或自身喜好作答，言之有理即可。
【答案】1. It is changeable. 2. They will feel unhappy. 3. Yes, I do. Because there are many fun places to visit. / No, I don't. Because I don't like the weather there. (言之有理即可)
【知识点】英语阅读理解、细节提取、开放性表达
【点评】本题为基于短文的阅读表达题，前两题侧重考查对短文细节信息的定位与提取，难度较低；第三题考查结合文本内容的开放性表达，需学生结合自身认知合理作答，符合初中英语阅读题的考查要求。
