暑假過(guò)后，新初三生們迎來(lái)了初中最重要的一年——初三。為方便2013年中考考生及家長(zhǎng)查詢(xún)相關(guān)信息，出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)中考頻道特別搜集匯總了中考英語(yǔ)閱讀素材以供參考：
The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有只鴿子口渴得很難受，看見(jiàn)畫(huà)板上畫(huà)著一個(gè)水瓶，以為是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過(guò) 去，不料一頭碰撞在畫(huà)板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。
這是說(shuō)，有些人想急于得到所需的東西，一時(shí)沖動(dòng)，草率從事，就會(huì)身遭不幸。
