2018中考英语阅读理解20篇(含答案)

2018中考英语阅读理解20篇(含答案)（精品，值得下载练习)[答题技巧]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。

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'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 never painted 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.

When I looked in the back of the van, the sofa wasn't there. Then I remembered the boss had told me to collect the sofa from another shop. I'd forgotten to do that. I drove to the shop in the next town. 3 All the shops are closed on Monday afternoons. I would have to call again the next day instead.4When I arrived at the next house, I opened the doors of the van at the back. A heavy chair fell out onto my foot. Ooooooww! I jumped up and down the street on one leg. It was very painful! I was able to walk on one and a half feet up to the house with the chair.The afternoon was getting very hot. I hadn't eaten or drunk anything and didn't have any water in the car. When I went through the next town, I met a traffic jam. 5 Two hours later, I got to the last shop. It was 6'clock. What a bad day!(十七)You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.

2018年中考英语阅读理解复习题及答案

阅读理解（一）APeople in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.Devon Fitzgerald say s he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders. " Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.1. People in Los Angeles are known for their love of_________.A. carsB. busesC. subwaysD. bicycles2.

From the passage we know that_________.A. riding in a “bike train” can help people feel saferB. Devon Fitzgerald helped to create L. A. Bike TrainsC. Roger Rosas prefers riding a bike to driving a carD. people can easily get into an accident when riding togetherBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I was led to a room. No teacher yet. Girls talking. Boys trying to kill each other.I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.“What're you doing?” she said.“Writing to 100,” I replied.“Is that you can do?”“No,” I said.Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to school or church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. But really, children's needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for “Friendship”. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.5. When she came into the classroom, the writer ________.A. went to talk with Jane quicklyB. helped Jane write the numbers to 100C. worked quietly at her desk aloneD. was afraid that others would fight with her6. From the passage we know that__________.A. the writer's leg was hurt on the first day of schoolB. the two girls were close friends until Jane diedC. Jane often helped the writer to do some social workD. the two girls stayed in the same city after college7. Henry received a prize for "Friendship" probably because _________.A. he was kind to othersB. he was smart at his schoolworkC. he was loved by his grandmaD. he joined in the Olympics8.The best title of this article would be__________.A. My Best Friend JaneB. How to Choose FriendsC. My First Day at SchoolD. Friendship ValuesCThe winter of 1948 was very difficult for our family of eight living in Knoxvile, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us, “Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?” he laughed.“No, sir,” I replied, “We are finding coal.”“Why doesn't your daddy buy coal? It's really dangerous here.”“Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,” I answered.The fireman turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. “Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.” Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. “You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal.”Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money.I never knew the person's full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.9. The winter was very difficult for the family because____________.A. the weather was colder than everB. they couldn't afford food or coalC. the writer's father was paid a littleD. they couldn't get help from the government10. We can learn from the passage that___________.A. in order to help his family the writer didn't go to schoolB. the fireman thought the boys were very brave to go near the trainC. the train would stop for a while every time near their homeD. the writer and his brother collected fallen coal to help their family11. The underlined sentence “he was a guardian angel” in the last paragraph means “___________”A. the fireman was a close friend of the familyB. the fireman often gave them good foodC. the fireman protected the two boys from dangerD. the fireman had pity on the family and offered them help12. The writer wrote the story mainly to____________.A. tell us to be hopeful in times of difficulty, no matter how bad it isB. remember a difficult time during his childhoodC. show a little kindness can make a great difference to people in needD. show how he and his brother helped his family out（二）Dear Sir or Madam.One of the teachers at my school in New York tells me that your school has summer course.

Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”6.

Doing Housework Is Good for Children's StudyCLast summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.11. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?A. About 600 years.B.

Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的)Build-A-Bears,the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteerteam to make a difference through the year.“I love making relationships with the people I serve,” Fredette said. “The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so co ol.”Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing aself-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a “Dreamer & Doer” not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.4.

It holds one activity a year.B. It offers service around America.C. It buys bears from the stores.D. It gives out other things besides bears.6. It can be inferred（推断）that Fredette .A. likes telling people storiesB. dreams of being a teacherC. is pleased with what she doesD. plans to leave California for college7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Giving back to societyB. Getting on well with othersC. Providing a food bankD. Improving community collegesCMore Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public, allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yat-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. “Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading,” said Wang.“They sometimes even bring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest.”Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior.Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to thepu blic. “I have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read,” Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration（专注）has influenced her. “If too many strangers stay here, the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly,” she said.Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering cer tain areas. “We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,” said Zhu Lina, library director in Jinan University.Working together with the community library is another solution. “It's possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet,” Ge Jianxiong, the library director in Fudan University said. “We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home.”8. We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .A. hates to study in the libraryB. prefers sightseeing to readingC. feels good to play with kidsD. is a university student aged 219. In Chen Jie's opinion, visitors to university libraries may .A. take up too much spaceB. break the peace thereC. make teachers relaxedD. get students to read more10. The writer mentions two libraries directors' words to help explain how to .A. manage libraries onlineB. keep the public politeC. share university librariesD. do scientific research11. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. A library guide.C. A story book.D. A notice board.DHave you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving' would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I'd miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car – but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.12. When using a driverless car, you need only .A. read the road signs carefullyB. check the camerasC. put the address into the computerD. remember the directions13. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.A. instructionsB. standardsC. advantagesD. tests14. The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means ““.A. possiblyB. successfullyC. especiallyD. naturally15. What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?A. They'll cause more accidents.B. They'll be less expensive.C. They'll use less energy.D. They'll run much faster.（四）ALast year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You wil l never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about t his child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the supportfrom the teachers and community service workers like us.I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.1. How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School?A. By train.B. By car.C. By bus. C. By taxi.2. Why did the writer get angry?A. Because a boy held the writer's hands.B. Because the writer did not like to taste nature.C. Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground.D.

From the passage we can learn that the writer __________.A. helped so many people in the worldB. played with the lonely boy after lunchC. learned the meaning of community serviceD. wasn't good at answering the questions about community serviceBThe Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices（香料）,cloth, valuable stones and gold.There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers（士兵）travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures andcountries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路线）are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.6. How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover?A. About 3,000.B. Nearly 6,500.C. Almost 2,000.D. Over 35,000.7. Traders carried all kinds of goods along the Silk Road.

The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.C. Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road may be able to speak different languages.D. The objects in the museum in Jiuquan in China are from all along the Silk Road.10. Which part of a magazine can this passage come from?A. History and Geography.B. Sports World.C. Man and Animals.D.

He loved watching comedies(喜剧)best and hoped to become a comedy actor one day.When he heard about the talent show to be held at his school, Brian decided to take part in. He had never acted on stage(舞台)before, and he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly，” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do，” another boy also said to him, loudly.Brian couldn't understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the show.Brian did a great job at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were proud of him. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny, and that he would never be successful. Brian didn't understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had nothing to do with him.

It means she can remember every small event—which mostpeople would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old，”she said. “That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also reexperience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too，” Rebecca said.“For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，”she added. “If it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”【】1、Which is NOT TRUE about Rebecca?A、She has special memories.B、She is from Australia.C、She is 25 years old.D、She can remember every detail of all the events.【】2、What happened to Rebecca on the day when she was 3 years old?A、She was identified as having HSAM.B、Her mother put her in a car and took a picture of her.C、She started to understand calendars.D、She hurt her left knee at her grandparents'.【】3、Whenever she is reliving her memories, ________．A、she is happyB、she experiences the feelings againC、she feels pain in her kneesD、she can taste her favorite food【】4、What is the result of having HSAM?A、She can remember every event in her daily life.B、She can reexperience taste.C、She can relive feelings.D、All the above.【】5、From the passage, we can infer(推断)that________．A、HSAM can do her good, but it also brings her painB、she feels painful if she recalls her experiencesC、she can fall asleep while she is reexperiencing memoriesD、HSAM can greatly improve her living conditionsPassage 5Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer. He appears on television, he writes books, and he owns his own fashion house.Born in 1980, Carlton started designing clothes when he was eleven. His father owned a clothes store, and Carlton used to work there at the weekend. Then he did a design course at college.When he was 21, someone suggested doing a TV program. He made his first show “Carlton's Clothes” in 2004, and he wrote his first book in the same year. Since then he has written four more. Carlton got married to TV producer Susan Mills in 2005.Three months ago, Carlton started his new company. He called it “Design: Carlton”．At work Carlton always wears black trousers and a black coat, but at home, or when he goes out, he wears clothes with bright colors(red, blue and yellow). He is especially crazy about new glasses, he buys a new pair every few weeks. “I liketo look different every day，” he says.Carlton started wearing glasses when he was twelve.

Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an oldfashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its followup The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.【】1、What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A、Twain's talent for selfteaching.B、Twain's “local colour” writing style.C、Twain's good sense of humour.D、Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.【】2、According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A、The deep social meaning.B、The exciting life experiences.C、The special way that Huck talks.D、The nice view of the Mississippi.【】3、Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”?A、At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B、At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C、At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D、At the beginning of Paragraph 5.【】4、What is the passage mainly about?A、Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B、Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C、Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D、Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7Rachel Carson(19071964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.【】1、What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A、She started to write books.B、She gave up working as a biologist.C、Her book The Sea Around Us sold well.D、Her book Silent Spring made her famous.【】2、What most probably made Rachel Carson leave her job?A、She got an award.B、She published Silent Spring.C、The Sea Around Us brought her enough money.D、The US government took notice of her researches.【】3、Why is the book Silent Spring important to America's environmental protection?A、It describes a silent spring.B、It topped the book sales lists.C、It changed how America thought about nature.D、It includes all Carson's research achievements.【】4、What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 mean?A、The book Silent Spring.B、The way America thought.C、The US Bureau of Fisheries.D、America's Environmental Protection Agency.【】5、Why was Rachel Carson awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom?A、She published the book Silent Spring.B、She did a lot of researches for the US Bureau of Fisheries.C、She donated much money to the Rachel Carson Book Prize.D、She made great contributions to the environmental protection.【参考答案】专项训练一人物故事Passage 1【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：TheAdventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.()1. What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A. Twain's talent for self-teaching.B. Twain's “local colour” writing style.C. Twain's good sense of humour.D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.()2. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A. The deep social meaning.B. The exciting life experiences.C. The special way that Huck talks.D. The nice view of the Mississippi.()3. Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”？A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.()4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7Rachel Carson(1907-1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.()1. What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A.

A During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn”t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn”t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn”t move. I was very unhap py for a long time after that. That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes. My life was still busy from mo rning to night. There were always things to do or to make.I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain. I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats” milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by. 46. The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________. A. escape in it B. get to the other side of the island C. use it for food D. go around the island 47. To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT _____________. A. keeping goats for milk B. making clothes from animal skins C. working in the cornfields D. going fishing in the sea 48. Why didn”t the writer use his first canoe? A. Because it was too small for a long journey. B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea. C. Because there was something wrong with it. D. Because the writer was busy building a second house. 49. From the story, we can learn that _____________.A. the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the islandB. the writer had nothing to do on the wild islandC. the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failedD. the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedom 50.What is the best word to describe the writer?
