On the first day, the boy nailed 37 nails into the wall behind the door. It was difficult for him to nail the nails into the wall, because the wall was hard. Over the following days, as he learned to control his temper, he nailed fewer nails into the wall behind the door. He discovered that it was easier to control his temper than to nail nails into the wall.A few weeks later, the boy could control his temper very well for the whole day. So his father suggested that he should remove a nail each day if he could control his temper. After hundreds of days, there were no more nails for the boy to remove from the wall. So the boy told his father happily that he had removed all the nails.His father took him by the hand and led him to the door. He told his son, “You have worked hard, my son, but look at all these holes in the wall. They will never disappear.

So we must try to make all countries to sign environmental agreements.Many factories find that it is difficult and that it will cost a lot of money to change their ways of production. They are still polluting the air, rivers, lakes and oceans. They are not taking any actions to stop climate change. As a result, the rivers are becoming dirty and millions of people have no clean water to drink. The air in big cities isn't clean enough for people to breathe. A lot of people die because of these bad conditions (状况). So we all have a duty to stop such situations from continuing. It is important for us to take more care of the earth. We must save every drop of water and produce as little waste as we can. We must make the factories and large companies protect the environment. If we fail to do so, the earth will be too dry and too dirty for people to live on. Predictions in some science fiction stories tell us what will happen some day in the future. The weather will become too hot. Forests will disappear. Rivers and lakes will dry up. Wars and hunger will be everywhere. At that time most human beings will die and only a few will move to other planets (星球) to live on. I don't believe that is what we wish to see.( )17.

2019年中考英语任务型阅读理解专题练习15篇(名师精选真题+详细解析答案，值得下载练习)话题 1 健康生活Passage 1Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active, but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan, it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise.First, try to know what kind of person you are. Especially, are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning, or a night owl （猫头鹰）who almost never goes to bed before midnight?Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are, you will understand better when your body needs exercise, either early in the morning, sometime during the day, or later on in the evening.Second, consider your daily plan. When do you seem to be most busy, and when do you plan your most important tasks?Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible so that you can keep exercising and your life won’t be affected as well.Third, think about when you feel you have the most energy. For most people, that time isrest, or after a long day of work. After a busy or much usually in the morning after a good night’ｓstressful day, exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work.Lastly, find out the place you plan to do exercise. Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment, but if there is a gym down the street or along the way home from work,More importantly, you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week.

2019年中考英语复习阅读理解训练题 (9)
2019年中考英语：阅读理解训练题（8）附答案第一篇（2019中考科普环保类选练）Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates.A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.1.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A. Sending information for weather forecast.B. Taking photographs of the Earth.C. Sending TV pictures.D. Providing food for airplane pilots.2.What’s the speed the earth rotates at?A.35,880 kilometers per hour.B.335,880 kilometers per hour.C.11,000 kilometers per hour.D.110,000 kilometers per hour3.Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?A. In order to take photographs.B. In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit.C. In order to move away from its orbit.D. In order to send television pictures.4.What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A. Asatellite.B.A little rocket.C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.5.Which is true of satellites?A.A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.B. Every time a satellite gets broken, it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.C.A broken satellite is never left in space.D. They often crash into each other.参考答案DCBCA第二篇阅读理解****EatingAn important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,“I’m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money." The other person may say,“O K, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s."This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,“Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s," or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say,“Thank you. That would be very nice."American customs（1） about who pays for dates（2） are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university（3） girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest（4）.” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.Notes:（1）custom/`kstm/n. 风俗（2）date/deIt/n.约会（3）university/、ju：nI`v：sItI/n. 大学（4）guest/gest/n. 客人1.The passage tells us .A.how to eat outB.where to eat outC.what to eat outD.who pays for the meal2.If you have little money, .A.you’ll have a cheap mealB.you’ll borrow some from othersC.you’ll ask your friend to pay for your mealD.you won’t want your friends to ask you to dinner3.“Go Dutch" in this passage means .A.去饭馆B.就餐C.订餐D.各自付款4.Sometimes your friend takes you to lunch.

Gradually I become lazy. ②The other day, my headteacher told me that she was disappointed in my poor performance as class monitor. Her words really discouraged(使泄气) me. What should I do now, to give up or not to give up as class monitor?

Being class monitor is also a valuable(宝贵的) learning experience because my teacher trusts me to be a goo d leader. ③I don’t want to go to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me. Can you tell me how to choose?Yours,Gates1. 根据①处内容，完成下面的句子。
2019届中考英语阅读理解50篇(含答案)
2019届中考英语阅读理解50篇( 精品训练题)1When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw t he rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?A. They ate it in a polite way.B. They only ate its best part.C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer’s busy lifeC. the writer’s decision of making moneyD. the writer’s hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. one has to work hard to reach his goalB. a friend in need is a friend in deedC. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD2Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighboring farms.For 35 years they farmed side by side, sharing machinery and goods as needed, without a single proble. However，one autumn，things changed.It began with a tiny disagreement about a horse，which grew into a major difference. The difference led to angry words, followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers.One morning there was a knock on Paul’s door.He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox.“I’m looking for a few days’ work，”the builder said.“Are there any jobs here I could help with?” “Yes, ”answered Paul, extremely pleased to see the builder.“I do have a job for you.Look at that farm across the creek(小溪).That’s my brother’s farm.

Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much.

They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke theScots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.

Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the youngmen to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.1.According to Thomas Edison, what’s genius?A.Hard thinking.B.Hard work.eful dreams.eful inventions.2.After exploring the secrets of nature, Edison always tried to .A.write down what he had learntB.carry out a new experimentC.make them useful in lifeD.share them with others3.Edison could not understand .A.how anybody enjoyed lifeB.how anybody loved workingC.why anybody loved thinkingD.why anybody was tired of life4.The last sentence in the passage means that .A.Edison was born to be a great inventorB.Edison was able to live another 100 yearsC.Edison was ready to make his 100 th inventionD.life was too short for Edison to work for human beings答案：BCDD9I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to mak e her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose.

2019年中考英语阅读理解真题专项训练
2019年中考英语阅读理解真题汇编(带详细解析过程)(名师精讲解题方法与技巧+实战训练，建议下载练习)【考点分析】阅读理解旨在考查学生阅读、理解的能力。
近几年来，中考英语题中的阅读理解材料新颖，题材丰富，考查学生综合推断能力、根据语篇猜单词意思的能力的力度加大，考查学生关注细节的能力占很大部分。
所以学生往往要么没能正确理解语篇中某些句子的意思，在细节题上丢分，要么就是对语篇的整体把握不够，在综合题或者推断题方面丢分。
那么到底怎么做好阅读理解这一题型呢？一、解题思路（一）先读问题，弄清考查要点，以便能带着问题看文章，这样会心中有数，有的放矢。
（二）快速浏览全文，掌握全貌，注意发现与问题有关的信息，如果时间紧，至少要扫视一下起首段和尾段。
再把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。
此时，不要忙于答题。
（三）细读原文，捕捉相关信息词，掌握短文细节内容。
这是解题的关键，应特别注意以下几点：1．抓住四个"W"和一个"H"，就是边读边用铅笔做些标记，把What (事件)，When （时间），Where（地点），Why（原因），How（经过）划出来。
抓住了四个“W”和一个“H”，就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。
2．抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等。
因为这些词具有因果，让步，递进，转折，指代，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。
这对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。
3．注意领会文章的寓意。
4．根据题意，初选答案。
这一步须仔细审题，领会测试要求，确定解题方法。
对那些明显的，有把握的题可以断然确定，不必把其余三个答案再作推敲而浪费时间：有些略难的题，应再查阅短文（不是重读一遍），迅速找出依据，予以排除。
常用的解题方法有如下几种：①直接解题法。
即从原文中直接找出答案。

2019中考英语阅读理解20篇(含答案)
2019中考英语阅读理解20篇(含答案)阅读理解着重测试学生理解性阅读的能力。
这种阅读要求考生掌握事实、了解细节，同时也要求考生领会深层含义、把握主旨。
1．快读全文，掌握大意阅读理解与完形填空题一样，属“语篇理解”题型，宜先通读全文，初步了解短文的整体框架、主旨大意及作者意向，以获取主要信息和各段中心内容。
2．细读题目，有的放矢细读文后的题目在于审读这些题目是针对什么设计的。
带着问题进行有目的地阅读，可以边阅读边选出考查表层情况试题的答案，从而提高效率。
3．再读全文，掌握细节在初读文章和了解题目要求后细读全文，可用铅笔做标记，把有关的人物、事件、时间、地点、起因划出来。
例如，凡逢人物就圈起来，看后一数，有几个圈就是几个人，一目了然。
经过这样的处理，对文章的内容和细节便会胸有成竹，对事态的发生、发展和解决有了更深入的理解。
4．试选答案，先易后难对那些深度理解的题目(多为主观判断题)，应在查阅短文、找出依据、仔细推敲后，再确定正误。
在选择答案时，有些选项干扰性很强，这时可以采用排除法进行选择；有一部分试题的答案在文中无法直接找到，而要求考生根据已有的常识结合文章来进行判断。
考生在推理时，切不要加入自己的主观印象或加入自己的情感。
在未完全读懂文章时不要匆忙选定答案，抓紧时间在尚未读懂的地方细读几遍，力争通过上下文的联系理解文章再选定答案。
5．复读全文．核对答案要用全文的主题思想核对各题，上下对照，研究其内在的联系和逻辑关系，并依次审核各道题目的答案。

As a result, we think we can see something that is not actually there or we ignore (忽视) things that actually are there.Scientists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris have researched this phenomenon (现象), which they call "change blindness". Their experiments show how we sometimes just do notsee what is in front of our eyes because 4Here is one of their most famous experiments. In this experiment, the participants (参与者) were shown a video of two groups of people (one group in white T-shirts and one group in blackT-shirts) who passed basketballs around in a hallway. Each group had three members. Simons and Chabris asked the participants to count how many times the white team passed the ball. While the two teams were passing their balls around, a person dressed up as a big bear walked through the group and stopped to look at the camera.

Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I said, "Hold your horses. Wait until I finish what I am doing." My two boys like tocompete against each other and play in a noisy and not very careful way. I always tell them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt.Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favourite TV show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag (拖，拽) me away from the television.

'"I'm going for a swim," Ben said, "but you don't want to come. You want to work, don't you?It's much nicer!" Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said, "What is work?What do you call work?""Isn't that work?" Ben asked."Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You've neverpainted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!""Please, Tom. Let me do a little," said Ben."No, Ben. If you do, you'll do it wrong. You can't paint very well. '"I won't do it wrong. I'll be really careful. I'll give you my apple." Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad. His trick had worked.After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them. Soon, the whole fence was painted white, but not by Tom.

2019年中考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案：手机号码各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢Have you ever counted the number of digits in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell youwhere the number is registered . And the last four digits are random .The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t contacted for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can.Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢。

【新人教】2019年中考英语复习阅读理解训练题10附答案【能力选练】APeople often think of the North Pole(北极)and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands.They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However,the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land,only thick ice.Temperatures seldom go above32°F,at which water turns into ice.Most of the time,it stays below zero.In winter temperatures are usually as low as-30°F.Although conditions were very poor,people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole.About100years ago,two men,Robert Peary and Mathew Henson,were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties.They reached the North Pole on March 8th,1909.It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈)on foot.People who stayed there may face many problems:very cold temperatures,sudden storms,and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited.Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year,the ice would be thick and hard.However,this is not true in the Arctic.The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface.Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called“leads”.Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.1．This passage is probably from___________.A．a book review B．a science bookC．a school report D．a computer magazine2．According to the passage,what happened about100years ago?A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above32°F.C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.3．What does the underlined word“uninhabited”probably mean in Chinese?A．气候恶劣的B．充满危险的C．困难重重的D．无人居住的4．The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is_____________. A．that the temperature suddenly drops B．that the water under the ice is frozenC．that the ocean water under the ice moves D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice5．What does this passage mainly talk about?A．The thick ice in the North Pole.B．A difficult trip to the North Pole.C．The real situation in the North Pole.D．The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普文，介绍了北极点的有关情况。

They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It?s true that male mosquito doesn?t bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn?t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You?re different from the others!If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒)on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

Think about all the water faucets (水龙头) in the toilet. Think about all theair conditioning in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place!Many things at the mall use energy. Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets andair-conditioners need electricity to work．One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean. More and more dust and dirt make the lights less bright. When malls keep lights clean, they can use fewer lights and keep the area just as bright. Using fewer lights means using less energy.You step up to the water faucet. The water starts to flow. You don?t have to touch a thing. Whydo malls have such fancy faucets? The answer is simple. They save water. Sometimes people forget to turn the water off after they wash. Infrared faucets turn themselves off.1. _____ is a hot topic for a big mall．A．To spend money B．To Save energyC．To keep the mall bright D．To buy things2．What will the fourth paragraph probably talk about?A．How to save water when using infrared faucets irl the mall．B.

But when he took the blue coat, there on the shelf behind all of the dark coats, hiddenlike a spring flower in winter darkness, there, as if by magic, was a pink coat.“A pink coat!” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.”“That coat is smaller than the other ones,” Papa said.Sarah spoke up. “I’m small, too. Papa, please let me try it on, Mama? Please?”“It wouldn’t hurt to let her try it on,” Mama said.Without a word, the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah.“Ohhh!” Sarah said.

No one was going to put her into a raincoat again. She wanted to be a flower.“Sarah!” It was Papa. He came over to her. “You’re old enough to know that you can’t always have your own way,” he said seriously.“Wise and true,” said the shopkeeper.Sarah took off the pink coat, slowly.“It is her colour, though,” Mama said.“Ahh,” said the shopkeeper. “Anyone can see how the pink of the coat brings out the roses in her face.”Papa looked thoughtful for a moment.“We are lucky.” continued Mama, “that it is only onelittle coat for Sarah and not also new coats for Sylvia and Susan and Sally.”Papa looked from the brown coat to the pink coat. “The cows will give milk soon enough,” he said “And how can we let Sarah wear a brown coat when she looks like a flower in this one?”“Papa!” Sarah cried, putting on the pink coat back, quickly.

They paste Spring Festival Couplets(春联)，greeting the New Year and saying goodbye to the old year. On the first day of the Spring Festival，people hang out，wearing new clothes. Nowadays，children get red pockets from their parents and their relatives. It is a good time for people to visit relatives and friends. More importantly，the Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world.The Spring Festival was celebrated in the UK from 1980. Every New Year，people also get together and have lots of activities. They sing songs and share with friends or watch movies in the cinema. Besides，the Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the traditional New Year. The Chinese New Year will be welcomed with three weeks of celebration across Australia. Thousands of people come to Sydney's Chinatown. They enjoy fireworks and lion dances. The family dinner on New Year's Eve isan important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China.

The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact，Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial(孝顺的) devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example，the story of “Taste Liquid(液体的) Medicine for Mother” tells us the filial virtue(美德) of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also，mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems，like “Song of the Parting Son” by Meng Jiao，a poet of the Tang dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.On special days，people often use roses or forgetmenotes to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world，but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily.Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love，not the festival itself. What mothers trulywant is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.( )1. When did Mothers Day spread to China?A. In the 1920s.B. In the 1980s.C. In the Western Han dynasty.D. In the Tang dynasty.( )2. What is the poem of “Song of the Parting Son” mainly about?A. The filial virtue of Emperor Wen.B. Caring for the old.C.

What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be________.A. a big dinnerB. a celebration partyC. greetings of the festivalD. expensive presentsH (2018·浙江湖州)For me，one of the greatest pleasures in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. It's a chance for me to get away from real life. There's nothing better than being lost in a story unless，of course，someone decides to break down the moment.Whether at a cinema or a huge theatre, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don't seem to understand.To start with，some people always turn up late，causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then，when you want to enjoy the surroundsound effects，someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and thus makes a lot of noises. And what I can't stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends，sometimes not even about the film.I'm not alone in this situation. Simon Mayo，a film critic at the BBC，experienced a “new low” during a film. He says，“ The woman in front of me got a mirror out，then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her makeup！”Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones，and another is not to take your shoes off—a most serious offence(冒犯) !Of course，when we have paid for a ticket，we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to，but we mustn't forget our fellow moviegoers who want to enjoy the cinematic experience，too.The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen.________.What about you? What annoys you about other people at the cinema?( )1. Why does the writer enjoy going to the cinema?A. It makes him feel like being at home.B. It gives him a moment to stay away from real life.C. He prefers watching the films on big screens.D. He wants to enjoy the cinematic experience.( )2. What is considered by Simon to be the rudest at a cinema?A. Using mobile phones.B. Chatting to their friends.C. Taking the shoes off.D. Having drinks and eating popcorn.( )3．“________” is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 7.A. Don't break the rules!B. Manners are important!C. Just stay at home!D. It's your choice!( )4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Popular CinemasB. A Serious ProblemC. Cinema MannersD. An Unpleasant ExperienceIDuring the summer holiday，some students might have been busy with traveling，summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days，they made more than 1,500 yuan.Among them，the oldest is 21 years old，while the youngest isjust 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of themare from rural areas.“Compared to traveling，such social practice connects us andmakes us learn how tough our parents are，” said Dalin,18，to theCity Morning Post. Dalin，a senior high graduate，and her12yearold brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Everymorning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went tothe farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to thelocal market to take up a temporary stall(临时摊位). To lower thecost，they learned to bargain(讲价) with the sellers.At about 6：30 am，they began to sell vegetables. Theypeddled(吆喝) loudly to attract(吸引) customers. After severaldays，they got some experience，too.For example，it was better to put vegetables in order andbigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy，theyshould give customers an extra plastic bag.When they finally packed up and went home，they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.“We are tired，” said Dalin. “But we gained a lot.”( )1.

Family BusinessC. Students Learn from BargainsD. Cousins Work with VegetablesJIn Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a nonworking day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing shipswere setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.( )1. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________．A. December 25thB. December 26thC. December 27thD. December 28th( )2. Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to ________．A. save the poorB. pay for the priestC. discover new landD. pray for sailing safety( )3. What does the underlined phrase “sealed up” mean?A. 密封B. 悬挂C. 归还D. 传递( )4. The following activities can show the traditional spiritof Boxing Day EXCEPT ________．A. offering gifts to the poorB. supportingfamilies in needC. spending time with familyD. giving money to aidFood Banks( )5. The purpose of the passage is ________．A. to praise the kindness of priestsB. to introducethe origins of Boxing DayC. to call on people to help the poorD. to compareBoxing Day with Christmas DayKDear mum and dad，I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia.At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tourover the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock arefantastic, and at different times of the day, they change frompurple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia,and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits thatcreated the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's whythey're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar toours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food anddrink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!Tony( )1.

A Summer EveningLThe summer vacation is a time to enjoy a change from the school year. It's a good chance to work on different activities that you don't have much time to do during the rest of the year.We asked about 2，000 people what they would do during the summer vacation. Most of the surveytakers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.Alexis said, “At school, I'm really tired, so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities.”Amy is in high school. After school, she sometimes works in a cafe. She told us, “It's a chance to relax after a hard school year—sleep more, and see my friends more.”We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored. About half (52%) of the surveytakers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax. And that is exactly how it should be.But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance (平衡) between being busy and relaxing. Many thought that they would be too bored.How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are. Surveytakers in their early teens were more likely (可能的) to be bored. Among them, 40% said they would be bored and only 10% thought they would be too busy.( )1. What does the underlined word “surveytakers”in Paragraph 2 mean?A. 进行调查的人B. 接受调查的人C. 写调查报告的人D. 看调查报告的人( )2.

牛津英语2019中考热点话题阅读(含答案)
2019牛津英语中考时文阅读汇编AThe internet is a place where we can talk freely. But it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language competence (能力) is becoming poorer.According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have declined. They don't use complex rhetorical technique (修辞手法) as often anymore. It is believed that digital technology and internet memes(表情包)have changed their communication habits.For example, direct expression is the preferred way to communicate online. When one see something funny, one will simply type hahaha or use the cry-laugh emoji, Beijing Youth Daily noted.Also, copy and paste (粘贴)" culture is getting popular. People simply pick up expressions from the internet without much thought. Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns, such as whenever you disagree with each other, you.....(一言不合就....).Cai Xiaojia (not her real name), a teacher from Fuzhou, told China Youth Daily that words in general are being used less. For instance,people can share photos online with little need for words to describe them.If this trend continues, it could influence our way of thinking, People's Daily noted. When we use expressions without thinking, it means we have become too lazy to express our real feelings. If teenagers adopt casual (不正式)methods of expression like emojis, they could lose the ability to use words properly.To improve our language skills, experts suggest that we should try to think independently and develop our own language logic (逻辑). They also suggest that we should read more works of literature (X#). Keep using various words to show your unique feelings,"said Shen Xiaolong, a professor in the Chinese department at Fudan University.1. What does the survey by China Youth Daily show?A About76 percent of Chinese people are losing their language skills.B. Over three quarters of young Chinese people think their language skills have weakened .C. Rhetorical technique is becoming less important in the digital era.D. Young Chinese people don' t need to use words to describe photos they posted.2. What do Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly tell us?A. What people s new communication habits are.B. Which phrases are most popular on the internet.C. Why young people like using emojis.D. Where young people learn new expressions.3. Due to the continued use of direct expressions and emojis. people could become______.A. good at thinking creativelyB. unable to use words properlyc. less interested in talking with others D. satisfied with their laziness4 What can we do to improve our language skills?A Think like an adult. B. Stop using emojis.C. Read works of literature.D. Use difficult language.参考答案：BABCBElvis Presley, known as the King of Rock and Roll (摇滚之王)," is one of the most well-known musical artists in the US.

In fact, it filled a lawsuit (诉讼) against the Boy Scouts last year, saying that the Boy Scouts' decision to include girls is a form of unfair competition and has confused the public. The lawsuit is still going on.When I think about my own experience with the Boy Scouts, I remember all of the useful things I learned.I know how to build a campfire. I know how to rescue someone who is drowning（溺水）.I know how my government operates.I learned all these thing through scouting and l don't see why girls shouldn't be allowed to learn them.Traditional beliefs about gender (13J) are disappearing over time.

2019年中考英语阅读理解真题汇编(带详细解析过程)(名师精讲解题方法与技巧+实战训练，建议下载练习) 【考点分析】阅读理解旨在考查学生阅读、理解的能力。
近几年来，中考英语题中的阅读理解材料新颖，题材丰富，考查学生综合推断能力、根据语篇猜单词意思的能力的力度加大，考查学生关注细节的能力占很大部分。
所以学生往往要么没能正确理解语篇中某些句子的意思，在细节题上丢分，要么就是对语篇的整体把握不够，在综合题或者推断题方面丢分。
那么到底怎么做好阅读理解这一题型呢？一、解题思路（一）先读问题，弄清考查要点，以便能带着问题看文章，这样会心中有数，有的放矢。
（二）快速浏览全文，掌握全貌，注意发现与问题有关的信息，如果时间紧，至少要扫视一下起首段和尾段。
再把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。
此时，不要忙于答题。
（三）细读原文，捕捉相关信息词，掌握短文细节内容。
这是解题的关键，应特别注意以下几点：1．抓住四个"W"和一个"H"，就是边读边用铅笔做些标记，把What (事件)，When （时间），Where（地点），Why（原因），How（经过）划出来。
抓住了四个“W”和一个“H”，就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。
2．抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等。
因为这些词具有因果，让步，递进，转折，指代，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。
这对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。
3．注意领会文章的寓意。
4．根据题意，初选答案。
这一步须仔细审题，领会测试要求，确定解题方法。
对那些明显的，有把握的题可以断然确定，不必把其余三个答案再作推敲而浪费时间：有些略难的题，应再查阅短文（不是重读一遍），迅速找出依据，予以排除。
常用的解题方法有如下几种：①直接解题法。
即从原文中直接找出答案。
②归纳解题法。
对于不能从原文中直接找出答案的可在把握全文中心和线索的前题下进行概括、归纳得出正确答案。
③综合推理法。
读者需统观全文，认真分析，综合推理及至计算，最后归纳出正确答案。
题干中有"suggest, conclude, conclusion, probably, reason, because, according to“等字眼时，属于推断概括型，考查内容着眼于全篇，考生应具备一定的分析归纳，推理等逻辑思维能力。
④捕捉关键词。
在阅读时应该注意与问题相关的同义词，近义词，反义词或同位词等信息词来得出正确答案。
⑤转换解题法。
即原文这么说，而在问题和所给选项中则用另外的词去转换一种说法，但仍表示同一含义。
⑥排除法。
根据语言，句法结构，信息词和常识，在没有把握的选项中用排除法得出正确答案。
四、重读原文，仔细斟酌核对答案。
在解完最后一道题后，如果时间允许，再将原文读一遍；用全文的主题思想统率各思考题，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系，目的在于对所做答案进一步审查，推出未解答的题，以便减少失误。
