中考英语英语阅读理解精选附答案
中考英语英语阅读理解精选附答案一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1.阅读理解Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone (里程碑)in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e-4 became the first lunar probe (月球探测器)in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon.The Earth's gravity (重力)slows the moon's rotation (自转),matching it to the speed of its orbit (公转).Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar (太阳的)winds, the far side may have the special minerals (矿物质).For this reason, Chang'e-4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e-4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future.However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked(阻断)off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite (中继卫星)Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e-4 has been well solved.Power supply (电源供应)is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e-4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length (长度)of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e-4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels.Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e-4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments.The New York Time used the word "groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon".(1)When was Chang'e-4 sent up?A.In May, 2018.B.On December 8, 2018.C.On January 3, 2019.D.The passage doesn't tell us.(2)The main tasks of Chang'e-4 don't include.A.studying if life is possible on the moonB.studying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surfaceC.solving the communication problem between Earth and other probesD.researching any mineral found by the spacecraft(3)The meaning of the underlined word "groundbreaking" in the last paragraph is the closest to "".A. harmfulB. unpredictableC. riskyD. pioneering(4)According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Chang'e-4 has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon.B.A lunar day has the length of 28 Earth days.C.China's relay satellite Queqiao was sent up in order to offer power supply to probes.D.Chang'e-4 is the first lunar probe in history that has successfully landed on the "dark" side of the moon.【答案】(1) B(2)C(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】文章大意:文章介绍了中国的嫦娥四号月球探测器,为我们讲述了嫦娥四号升空时间,什么时候在月球背面着陆,如何跟地球进行通讯联系等等。

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.

Think about all the lights that keep the mall bright. Think about all the water faucets (水龙头)in the toilet. Think about all the air conditioning in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place!Many things at the mall use energy. Electric lights, infrared (红夕卜感应)faucets and air-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 doif t have to touch a thing. Why do malls have such fancy faucets? The answer is simple.

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 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 way she chose that she didforgive(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一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 make her into someone she was no匚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 一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.

My mum always found ways to make leftovers (剩余食物)taste good. I went to Ilan to learn about some of their special food. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don9t waste food, either, and they use leftovers!Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It/s made with leftovers like meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good・Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets (宴会).Another famous dish is called zao bing. TVs made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn't want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Ilan area—uck meat.

They are in space, and they can reachany part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气because this is where the weather forms (形成).They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).1.Satellites travel _________ ・A.in spaceB. above spaceC. above the groundD. in the atmosphere2.Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere?

When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You dorf t want to work, and you stay in bed, feeling very sad.What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌).Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you carTt find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.Germs arerTt found only in water. They are found in air and dust.

One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬)elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感)Americans are and how they dislike the description “old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.D.People should tell their real names to others on QQ・In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think "growing olcF is a problem since "olcF shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn't want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I dorf t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I dorf t show my feelings through words.1.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because ______ •A. the manager asked him to do soB. he respected the elderlyC. the couple wanted him to do soD. he wanted more pay2.When Jack called the couple "elderly,; they became ___ .A. nervousB. satisfiedC. unhappyD. excited3.In Jack's hometown, _______ .A. people dislike being called “old"B. people are proud of being oldC.many people reach the age of seventy or eightyD.the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants4.After this experience, Jack ______ ・A. lost his job in the restaurant B・ made friends with the coupleC. no longer respected the elderlyD. changed his way with older people5.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.C.The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.D.From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.10I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有价值的)in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no". At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(现金).He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. "A reward(酬劳)for your honesty/9 he said and then turned and walked away.Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone,s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.1.Which of the following is true?A.The owner of the wallet found a twenty-dollar bill gone.B.The writer wasn't surprised when the man gave her a reward.C.Nothing in the wallet was missing.D.The man was very, very excited when he got his wallet back.2.The writer returned the wallet to the owner because _______ .A. she thought Christmas was comingB. the owner came back too soonC.she didn't know there was so much money in itD.as an honest person, she didiVt care much about money3.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The writer accepted a reward of $ 20.B.The writer regretted(后悔)that she had returned the wallet.C.The writer didn^t return the wallet until the owner came back.D.The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet.11Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything一tutors (家庭教师),cards, special learning centers一in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的)school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开)out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心).She went to his room and asked, "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, "No.“Well then;9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 she asked again. 66WHAT was it?"Little Tommy looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉)to the plus sign (力口号),I knew they weren^t joking. ”12Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁)fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏)that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.“I was eating with my wife and children J he said, "When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.^ Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving.
