中考英语英语阅读理解试题(附答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340, 000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions, like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental（气质） or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed（被解雇） or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect （影响） the levels of happiness.（1）Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?A. Those who are worried about getting old.B. Those who are single and unemployed.C. Those who feel unhappy all the time.D. Those who suffer from mental stress.（2）When may people have the highest level of stress?A. At the age of 20.B. At the age of 25.C. At the age of 35.D. At the age of 40.（3）According to Arthur Stone's idea, old people may .A. control their behaviors betterB. know how to spend money wiselyC. dream about good things every dayD. have a positive attitude towards their life（4）What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Younger, the HappierB. The Young Are Happier than the OldC. Getting Older Means Getting HappierD. Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】文章大意：重点介绍的是老年人的幸福感问题，作者通过一个调查研究告诉我们随着年龄的增长，人们的幸福感会越来越强。

(英语)中考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)及解析

（英语）中考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)及解析一、英语阅读（日常生活类）1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。

If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" （代）of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle（障碍物）, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.5G could also be used to power the internet of things （IoT）, that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.（1）Which city was 5G tested for the first time?A. Beijing.B. Shanghai.C. Shenzhen.（2）What can we infer（推测） according to the passage?.A. 5G is widely used in China now.B. 5G networks will make our lives more convenient.C. There are no symbols at the top of our phones.（3）The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to .A. explain how 5G's fast speed can be helpfulB. warn about the possible dangers of self-driving carsC. explain how self-driving cars work（4）What is IoT according to the passage?A. A robot that can do housework.B. An online store where you can buy anything.C. A large online network that connects things and people.（5）Which sentence is right according to the passage?A. 5G will help us buy eggs quickly.B. Robots can help us buy eggs online.C. Our refrigerator can order eggs online for us.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）C（5）C【解析】【分析】短文大意：当人们看手机上方的时候，会看到3G或者4G的小符号。

初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案(通用9篇)

初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案（通用9篇）中考英语阅读理解及解析篇一Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the CommunityAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!1. What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. The costs of advertisement.2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers isA. appreciative.B. trustworthy.C. critical.D. dissatisfactory.3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because advertisers often brag.B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”。

He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car.

His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent.

中考英语英语阅读理解试题（含答案）一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1.阅读理解Saying no starts small"All right then — just one more piece..." Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say "no" to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow （圆形软糖）now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology（心理学）professor （教授） told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）.Even a little practice can strengthen （加强）our overall self-control if we do it regularly.You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles, willpower can "get tired". Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge（恢复）your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.（1）The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used toA.prove that girls have weak willpowerB.introduce the topic of willpower to the readersC.show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsD.show the connection between willpower and success（2）What can we infer from the experiment?A.The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.B.It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.C.The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.D.The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.(3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?A.You should have a goal every day.B. Good rest and proper diet can help.C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.D. Keep willpower from being used too much. (4) What is the article mainly about?A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.B.How willpower affects people's lives and how it is similar to muscles.C.How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.D.How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other【答案】(1) B(2) C(3)A(4)C【解析】【分析】主要讲了毅力的重要性和怎样让毅力变得更强。

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 emotio nal(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— 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 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. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1.
