考点跟踪突破40 阅读理解(一)(一)(2015，山西)Old Dawson had the best apples in town，but kids knew they mustn't go into his yard to pick a delicious apple，even off the ground，because Dawson，a badtempered (坏脾气的) man，they said，would come after you with his gun.One Friday，12yearold Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy.They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house.Like most of the children，Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him.Amy said that Mr.Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone.Still，Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house.When they got close enough，Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉)，but when he saw it was Amy，a big smile changed his whole face as he said.“Hello，Miss Amy.I see you've got a little friend with you today.”Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games.Dawson told them that sounded fun，and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.As they walked on，Janet asked Amy，“Everyone says he's the meanest man in town.Why was he so nice to us？”Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house，he wasn't very friendly and she was afraid of him，but she always smiled at him.It took a while，but one day he halfsmiled back at her.After some more time.he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her.Just a “hello” at first，then more.She said he always offers her an apple now，and is always very kind.We're always trying to achieve so much，and it's so easy to get caught up in (被卷入；陷入) everyday life that we forget we can bring cheer to ourselves and others simply.Giving a smile takes so little effort；let's smile to others.1．Kids were afraid of Dawson because __B__．A．he disliked childrenB．he was a badtempered manC．he always took a gun with him2．On that day，when Old Dawson saw Amy getting close to his house，he was __B__．A．very mad B．quite C．really scared3．From the passage，we can know that __C__．A．Amy wasn't afraid of Dawson beforeB．Janet never heard about the stories of DawsonC．Dawson offered each of the two children an apple that day4．The underlined sentence “he started smiling real smiles”means “Mr.Dawson __C__．”A．got to like Amy's smile day by dayB．didn't know how to smile until he met AmyC．started to accept Amy as a true friend with real feelings5．The best title for the passage may be __B__．A．Smile Brings a Big SuccessB．Smile Improves the RelationshipC．Smile Changes the Environment(二)(2015，聊城)We use our smart phones to carry out many tasks every day.Many of us have become so reliant on them.However，it is bad for our eyes and health to use too much phone.A study shows that smart phone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning.They check personal emails and Wechat.And before they get out of bed，many people often check the weather，read the news，and send a message or two to friends.After getting up，they often take photos of food，themselves，and even whatever they can see with their phones.They share their photos with their friends.The research finds that users pick up their phones more than 1，500 times to do different tasks in an average (通常的) week.And the smart phone users are on their phones for three hours and sixteen minutes a day.That is to say，people use their phones for almost one full day each week.Using phones will take much time and it's also for our health.Many people stay up late to play phones.And mobile phones will influence our sleep.Without using the phones，many people will feel sad.Many owners also find they use their phones without realising they're doing so.How do you think people use their phones too much?1．The underlined (画线的)word “reliant”means “__A__”in Chinese.A．依赖的 B．讨厌的 C．喜欢的 D．感兴趣的2．Before getting up，many people use their phones to do tasks，not including __D__．A．checking weather B．sending messagesC．reading news D．taking photos3．How long do people use their phones a week？__C__A．Almost three hours and sixteen minutes.B．Almost six hours and thirtytwo minutes.C．Almost twentyfour hours.D．Almost thirtysix hours.4．Many people __B__ without using their phones.A．will stay up B．will feel sadC．can't do work D．can't live5．Where can we probably read this text？__A__A．In a newspaper.

B．Susan.C．Kaz.

How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry, ewaste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of ewaste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.It's important to pay attention to ewaste. It can either be valuable or harmful(有害的), depending on how we deal with it. Ewaste is a valuable urban mine(城市矿藏). The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals(有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air，affecting the environment and people’s health.Apple, for example, now recycles people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce(减少)ewaste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.1．The following can become ewaste EXCEPT__C__．小学+初中+高中A．computers B．mobile phones C．plastic bags2．Which country produced most ewaste last year according to the United Nations？__A__A．America. B．China. C．Japan.3．What does the unde rline word “affecting” mean in this passage？__B__ A．保护 B．影响 C．改善4．From Paragraph 4, we learn that __B__．A．the recycled Apple products will be sold at higher prices.B．buying longer lasting electronic products is a good way to reduce ewaste.C．it’s better to keep the unwanted electronics in your bedroom.5．The main purpose of this passage is to __C__．A．prove that ewaste is useless.B．encourage people to buy more electronic products.C．advise people to deal with ewaste properly to reduce pollution.。

while.Again，Love asked for help.But it was eless．“No，I can't take you with me.I am so sad.I want to be by 5.myself”When Happiness passed by a few 6.minutes later，Love again asked for help.But Happiness was so happy that it couldn't care about anyone else.Love was growing hopeless.Just then somebody 7.shouted.“Come，Love，I will take you with me.”Love didn't know who was so kind，but jumped onto the boat 8.happily．After getting off the boat，Love met Knowledge.Love asked，“Knowledge，do you know who was so kind to give me a lift 9.w hen no one else wished to help？”Knowledge smiled，“That was Time.”“Time？”asked Love.“But why did Time help me？”Knowledge smiled and answered，“Because only Time is able to understand 10.how valuable Love

was born.The boy's mother and her husband gave the boy a —Benjamin.Benjamin was the 2.cle v erest of all the children.He could read when he was five and he could write when he was seven.The next year his parents sent him to 3.school.At school Benjamin was good at reading and writing，but not good at maths.He read all of his father's 4.books．And when he had money，he 5.al w ays went to buy books.He

with milk，”said the king.“As you walk around my palace，carry this spoon without spilling (溢出) the milk.”The boy 4.kept his eyes fixed on the spoon and began to walk around the golden palace.After two hours，he came back to the king.“Well，”asked the king.“Did you see the wonderful 5.paintings in my dining hall？Did you see the 6.colorful flowers in the garden？” The boy felt sorry because he saw nothing.He only paid attention to the milk.“Then go back and see the beauty of 7.my world，”said the king.This time the boy saw all of the 8.w orks of art on the walls.He saw the great gardens and mountains all around.When he came back，he described everything he saw.“But where is the milk？” asked the king.Looking 9.do w n at the spoon he held，the boy saw the milk was 10.gone．“Well，there is only

having updates (更新) about what my friends were doing.It allowed 8.me to spend more time enjoying my time in London and watching the people 9.around me and really see what was going on.However，I knew that as soon as I got my smart phone back I would be one of those 10.people once again.Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and forget I ever got my smart phone back.F(2016，平凉模拟)life，kno w，w ith，make，w atch，therefore，do，bad，choose，good In China，many people spend most of their spare time 1.w atching TV.It has a huge influenceon people's 2.li v es．Is all this

stories.It provides us 4.w ith a more lively way to discover the outside world.Also，we can see great movies，operas and concerts.5.Therefore，television is not only a way we learn about the world，but also a good entertainment.However，many people think television is 6.bad for us.They say that all the violence on TV 7.makes people become violent.Violence can give children bad can also make people lazy.Instead of 8.doing outdoor activities，they usually sit in front of the screen for hours enjoying the funny shows and cartoons without a break.In general，the problem is not television，but the

their university studies.This means that they take a year off to do something else，before they 1.start their studies.For most students，spending time in 2.foreign countries is the favourite activity—and Australia is the favourite place to go.Many parents，teachers and business people 3.agree that traveling can teach important values.“After a year of traveling，I felt I'd grown up.I had 4.learned the importance of relationships with people，on all sorts of levels.”There are many companies around the world that welcome these 5.students on their projects—helping people in poorer countries，or 6.e v en in your home country.Although you don't get paid for your work，this kind of work can teach important 7.skills—decision-making and finding answers to problems，for example—that will help a student in a 8.job one day.Finally，getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one day will always be very eful．If several university graduates are asking for the same job，gap year work experience allows you to say，“I've already had some 10.experience of this kind of work.”And that can get you the job!H(原创题)do，advantage，two，work，from，them，when，even，reach，differentIn China, very few children make pocket money. However, in western countries, most kids make pocket money by 1.themsel v es. They make money in many 2.different ways.When kids are very young, their parents help them sell the fruit 3.from their own trees to neighbors. Kids may also help parents 4.(to)_do housework to make money at home. When they 5.reach sixteen, they can make money by sending newspapers or by 6.w orking in fast food restaurants，especially during the summer holidays.There are many 7.ad v antages of making pocket money by kids themselves. First of all, they learn the value of money by working hard.8.Second,_they learn to manage money by buying things they need or want, such as books, pencils, movies and 9.e v en clothes they like. Third, theylearn to deal with daily life problems by helping their parents or others. Making pocket money is helpful for children 10.w hen they grow up. That is why parents encourage their kids to earn pocket money.I(2017，预测)Another，carry，control，have，life，well，tree，so，usual，wildAnimals are important in Indian culture and are treated in a special way. For example, a lot of elephants aren't 1.w ild．They are domesticated(驯养). They aren't kept as pets, but as working animals. Every working elephant 2.has its own keeper. An elephant and its keeper meet for the first time when they are both young, and they grow up together. In fact, their relationship continues for the rest of the elephant's 3.life－perhaps 40 years. Lots of elephants work in the forest, moving heavy 4.trees when they are cut down. Some give rides to tourists, or 5.carry people during celebrations and festivals. Keepers take excellent care of their elephants , feeding them 6.w ell and giving them a bath at the end of the working day.7．Another special animal in India is the cow. Cows are protected animals，8.so they aren't kept on farms or killed for food, although people do use their milk. So in India you can often see cows walking around towns and cities, and nobody tries 9.to_control them. If they sit down in the middle of the road, people ually drive around them! Do you think it's interesting?J(2015，山西)so，we，who，teach，bright，different，he，eye，show，heart，complete，understand Few people today educate the children about the value of empathy (同情；同感)．Most people feel so hard 1.to_sho w their love and care towards others and to actually understand what they are going through.When I was a child，I 2.w as_taught to go out of my way to make someone else happy.My mom would tell me to say at least one kind word to someone else every day.I admit that it wasn't very easy to do.But as soon as you see the look of thanks in that person's 3.eyes，you just want to do as much as you can.I had an experience with a young man 4.w ho(m) people were always making fun of.Every time I saw that happening，I knew in my heart that it was wrong.I decided I would try to be his friend.I started walking with him and introducing him to people around ．I was making him happy by just doing that.And I loved the fact that I was really making a 6._difference in his life.After a while，I realized that he wasn't the kind of person everybody thought he was.We are still really good friends today.People have almost pletely stopped making fun of him.But he is still what he was.What had changed was the attitudes of others towards him.From this experience I 8.ha v e_understood that I should be more loving towards other people already.What I did for my friend was so easy，and at the same time I had a lot of fun，9.so I hope that everyone could say a kind word to someone else at least once a day.I can promise it will be the best feeling you can ever get.One kind word could make someone's day 10.brighter.Why not do it from now on?。

A(2015，北海)friend，others，teach，you，too，different，rule，what，spend，adult Young people and older people don't always agree with each other.They sometimes have 1.different ideas about work and life.But in one special program in New York State，adults and teenagers live together in a 2.friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 3.adults live and work together for eight weeks as a group.Everyone works several hours each day.Some teenagers work in the forest or on the farms.Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses.The adults 4.teach them these skills.There are several free hours every weekday.Weekends are free，5.too.During the free hours，some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting.6.Others sit around and talk or sing.Each teenager chooses his own way to 7.spend his free time.When people live together，rules are necessary，In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together.If someone breaks a 8.rule，the problem is brought to the whole group.They talk about it and ask，“How did it happen? 9.What should we do about it？”One of the teenagers says about his experience，“ 10.You stop thinking only about yourself.You learn to think about the group.”B(2015，营口)bring，all，because of，it，feel，she，touch，tour，please，but There was a young flower in the desert(沙漠)where all was dry and sad looking.It was growing by 1.itself，enjoying every day and saying to the sun，“When shall I be grown up？” and the sun would say，“Be patient—each time I 2.touch you，you grow a little.” She was so 3.pleased because she would have a chance 4.to_bring beauty to this corner of sand and this is 5.all she wanted to do—bring a little bit of beauty to this world.One day two 6.tourists came by and stepped on her.She was going to die and she 7.felt so sad.Not because she was dying 8.but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.The great spirit saw her，and was listening.Indeed(确实)，he said she should be

her.C(2015，陕西)sweet，plant，she，child，run，high，sit，feel，day，notice One day，I took my two kids to the local playground.As soon as we got there，my daughter 1.ran to the swing(秋千)and asked for a push.When I was helping my daughter.I 2._noticed another girl trying to make her own swing go high by herself.Her old grandmother was 3.sitting on the chair nearby and smiled at me.I gave my daughter one big push and then walked towards the little girl.I asked if she wanted me to give 4.her a push.She smiled and said“Yes”．For the next two hours.I pushed the swings，and played with my two 5.children and the little girl.When we went home，I was very tired.But my heart was flying much 6.higher than the swings.One day two years later，after a 7.day's work.I was a little tired.But I needed to pick up my kids before going home.While I was waiting outside the school gate，a little girl came over and smiled 8.sweetly at me.She gave me a big hug(拥抱)before catching her school bus.As I watched her running away，I didn't 9.feel tired anymore.In life，the love we give others will find its way back to us.It may travel from heart to heart or it may blossom(开花)in the heart which it was 10.planted in.The love we

animal shelter(收容所)in Salinas，California，you'll see huge signs that have a picture of a dog and a cat on them.These 1.signs are put in front of the shelter to catch people's attention.The signs 2.make people interested in the shelter and encouraged them to visit it and maybe even take a cat or a dog into their homes.Each year，the Salinas shelter accepts thousands of dogs and cats.The animals are 3.either lost ones or are left by people who can't take care of 4.them.Of all the animals，some of them are taken into new homes.Some 5.others are moved to other shelters.And，unluckily，some cannot be saved because they are too sick or are thought to be dangerous.Animal shelters 6.provide food，medicine，and safe places for animals.But they are not the 7.best homes.The animals stay in small cages(笼子)．The people 8.who work at shelters do their best to care for the animals，but the animals do not always get the attention or exercise they need.To prevent animals from becoming homeless，pet owners should take good care of their pets.Most pet doctors also suggest people make 9.sure their pets have a special surgery(外科手术)．It 10.prevents animals from having more babies.And that reduces(减少)the number of homeless animals.Eonly，fine，notice，enough，eye，thief，allow，follow，crowd，searchI want to buy a pair of sports shoes for a long time.I had spent months saving up the money to buy

stolen my money so we got off the bus and 4.followed him.The boy started running and then Jake ran after himshouting “Stop！5.Thief！”It was like a scene out of a film！A policeman saw what was going on and managed to get the boy.The embarrassing thing was that when the policeman 6.searched the boy，he didn't have my purse！He had probably thrown it away before he was caught.The boy said we had made a mistake and we shouldn't blame(指责)him for the stolen purse.He explained that he had 7.only started running because he was late for a meeting with friends.The policeman 8._allowed him to go and I felt

甘肃中考英语英语阅读理解专题练习(附答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Scrub, the pet cat of Jennifer's, was found! It got lost five years ago. Jennifer looked for it everywhere but failed each time. She thought Scrub would never come back. But one day she got a call from an animal shelter(庇护所) and was told they had found Scrub!How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer? How did they know Jennifer's phone number? All the information was available because of the microchip, a very small computer chip(薄片). It was placed under Scrub's skin many years earlier.The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal's shoulder to keep its ID number. Once the chip is in place, the pet does not feel it anymore. When lost pets are brought to animal shelters, people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it, then they'll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet's owner. This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub.Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back. In New York, a dog named Roxy was missing for months. Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey. No one knows how the dog got to a different state. However, thanks to her microchip, Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner.In 2008, a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost, the couple tried everything to find him. They visited animal shelters every day for six months, made posters and even offered a $500 reward(酬金). As years went by, they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter. Without the microchip, the cat would never be able to come home again.Microchips can not only work for a pet's whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they've been away from home. This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home.（1）How did Jennifer find her pet cat?A. By visiting animal shelters.B. By offering a $500 reward.C. With the help of the microchip.D. With the help of a woman in New Jersey.（2）Which statement about microchips is NOT true according to the passage?A. They are very small computer chips.B. They are under an animal's skin of its shoulder.C. They can help the owners to find the long-lost pets.D. They can only work for a lost pet that's far away from home.（3）The right order of how animal shelters help lost pets return home is .①Get the I D number of the lost pet.②Call the owner to bring the lost pet home.③Look for the microchip of the lost pet.④Call the microchip company to match the number to the information of its owner.A. ③①②④B. ③④①②C. ①③④②D.③①④②（4）According to the passage, we can know that .A. the couple thought the microchip wasn't helpful at allB. Scrub didn't feel uncomfortable with the microchip in its bodyC. it took a long time to match Roxy's ID number to her owner's informationD. Jennifer herself found her cat according to the ID number on its microchip（5）What is the main idea of the passage?A. The reasons why pets got lost.B. Different ways to find the lost pets.C.

The Silk Road has been 1.successfully included into the UNESCO World Heritage List(世界文化遗产名录)at the 38th session of the World Heritage Committee in Doha.But did you know: the Silk Road is not a single route(路线)! It is a series of 2.trade and cultural transmission(传递)routes. It began during the Western Han Dynasty. The trade route starts from the city of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province and 3.ends in Eastern Europe, near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. The Silk Road was about 6，500 kilometers long. It went 4.across one-fourth of the planet.The Silk Road got its name 5.because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Apart from silk, jade, ceramics and iron went west to Rome. From the west came glass, gems and food 6.like carrots and sesame(芝麻)．The Silk Road was very 7.important to both China and the rest of the world. Besides trade, knowledge about science, arts and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was8.shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and9.influenced each other.Today，10.places along the Silk Road are great travel destinations(目的地), such as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang Gansu.C(2017，陕西)clear doctor happy raise findparents she share well hopeAlice was born with a strange disease.

They are following the 24Solar Terms(节气), which are an important part of Chinese culture. Last year the United Nations 3.added it to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产)．The 24 Solar Terms began during the ancient periods. At that time, most Chinese people made 4.their living on farms. So weather changes were important for them. But of course, they had 5.no weather report or Internet to help them.But people found a way. They studied the sun's movement and also 6.paid attention to other natural changes 7.such as air temperature, water and plant growth. In the 8.end , they worked out the 24 Solar Terms to mark the changes.The terms became their guide to farming work. For example, the solar term jingzhe (惊蛰) is when insects wake up 9.from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.The 24 Solar Terms is regarded as China's 10.fifth great invention, after papermaking, printing, the compass and gunpowder. Now, it is still widely used in daily life even in the age of technologybased modern farming.E(2017，安顺)use find them idea anhave on when real butI am fully convinced that you must have heard about Chinese Paper-cutting，haven't you？Paper-cutting is 1.an important art form in China.Paper-cuts were used for many purposes，and everything can become the theme(主题)of papercuts，from people to the things that can be 2.found in everyday life such as birds，flowers and animals.Each papercut brings out the personal 3.idea(s)of the writer.People express traditional culture or 4.their own feelings with different styles of paper-cuts.For example, 5.when someone marries，we put up some red papercuts 6.on the wall，dressing table or other furniture to express our best wishes.It is easy to learn papercutting 7.but very difficult to make it perfect.We need a long-time practice to learn how 8.to use the scissors(剪刀)and how to paint.Moreover，we 9.really need to learn some cutting skills.From history until now，in many parts of China，papercutting skill 10.has become necessary for women and a symbol of a clever mind.Fsong teach well let America quicksuccess collect although somethingDo you know Jerome Kern?

By the early 1920s, Kern was a 7.successful young composer for Broadway musical comedies.However, Jerome wanted to try 8.something new. In his mind, a musical play should be a real work of art, not just a 9.collection of songs and dances. Kern wanted to find a story and make it into a real American musical.In 1927, he found the story Show Boat by American writer Edna Ferber. Jerome loved it and made it into a musical.
