人教版初中英语中考英语复习：难度较大的阅读文章含答案(六)

A Debate on the English LanguageA measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States.The US Senate passed two declarations last week.One calls English the nation's official language and the other says it is the "common and unifying（统一的）"tongue.But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't understand why the issue is so controversial（有争议的）."The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,"says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University."It's related to a worry about the changing demography （人口统计）of the US.It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence."In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding.John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language.But his proposal died,since lawmakers saw it as a royalist（保皇主义者）attempt to define personal behavior.Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.The emotions surrounding language resurface（再次浮现）not because people feel comfortable with English.It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University."Language is never about language,"he says.According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old,172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English.Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don't speak English at all.31.What are the two declarations concerned with?A.The status of the English language.B.The protection of new languages.C.The rights to speak one's mother tongue.D.The improvement of the English language.32.Who suggested in the 18th century that English should be protected?A.Walt Wolfram.B.John Adams.C.Royalists.D.Dick Tucker.33.Which of the following is the current debate NOT related to?A.The immigration issues.B.The changing demography.C.The worry about the new languages.D.The US's military strength.34.Which statement is true according to the 2000 US Census Bureau report?A.172 million Americans speak only English in their work places.B.37 million Americans speak English.C.209 million Americans are above the age of 18.D.6.5 million Americans speak good English.35.The phrase"kicked around"（paragraph 4）could be best replaced byA."invented".B."formed".C."shaped".D."discussed".第二篇Kobe BryantAfter 10 seasons wearing the No 8 on his back,Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season.The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No 24 when he was in early high school,but he changed to No 33 in his senior year.He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs（季后赛）.So guessing Bryant's motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists（专栏作家）.There are all kinds of speculations.Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start.He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey（运动衫）.Some,such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre,argue that it is"all about money".Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun.For example,there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard（非常执著的）fan of the popular TV drama "24".All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot offuss（大惊小怪）over something that should be pretty simple.Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports,especially basketball.Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career.When a great player retires,his team will honor him by retiring his number.To some extent,the jersey is the player,and the player is the jersey.Thus,when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls,you immediately think about Michael Jordan.A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O'Neal,and the Houston Rockets' No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections.Jordan said that he chose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45.Jordan's elder brother wore the No 45 in college.Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.36.Which team has Bryant played for?A.The Los Angeles Lakers.B.The Houston Rockets.C.The Chicago Bulls.D.The Miami Heats.37.How long has Bryant been wearing No 8?A.Since he started to play basketball.B.For ten seasons.C.Since he entered high school.D.Since he left the Lakers.38.Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryant's motive to change his number,according to this passage?A.He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.B.He wants to compare himself to Jordan.C.He wants to earn more money.D.He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.39.Why did Jordan choose No 23?A.Because that number would make him famous.B.Because that number would make his fans miss him.C.Because that number was related to the number his brother once wore.D.Because that number was easy to remember.40.What does the number Yao Ming chose stand for?A.Two long legs.B.Two strong arms.C.Two people in love.D.Two big countries.第三篇Trying to Find a PartherOne of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people inbterviewed,one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships?Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love?Or are we making it harder for ourselves?It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesn't expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago,your choice of soulmate （心上人）was constrained（限制）by geography,social convention and family tradition.Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged.Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster （牡蛎）,you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint:the tyranny of choice.The expectations of partners are inflated（提高）to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isn't,it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.41.What does the recent poll show?A.It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband.B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a familyl.C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.42.Which of the following is NOT true about a contemporary married couple?A.The wife doesn't have to raise the children all by herself.B.The husband doesn't have to support the family all by himself.C.The wife is no longer the only person to manage the household.D.They will receive a large sum of money from the govemment.43.Which of the following was NOT a constraint on one's choice of soulmate in the old days?A.The health condition of his or her grandmother.B.The geographical environment.C.The social convention.D.The family tradition.44.Which of the following is NOT expected of a partner according to this passage?A.Good looks.B.An impressive career.C.A high salary.D.A fine sense of humor.45.The word"sustain"（paragraph 2）could be best replaced byA."reduce".B."shake".C."maintain".D."weaken".31.A32.B33.D34.C35.D36.A37.B38.D39.C40.C41.B42.D43.A44.D45.C提高初三英语复习成绩的技巧与方法在三年的英语学习中，学生成绩已经出现等级分化；成绩好的学生帮助他们减轻压力，成绩中等的学生布置具体的学习任务，并给予具体的学习策略指导，成绩差的学生会破罐破摔，要帮助他们制定出各自英语学习的短期进步目标，激发其学习的原动力，激发出他们英语学习的兴奋点。

人教版九年级英语中考备考阅读理解专项练习(有答案)

中考备考---阅读理解专项练习（10篇）AIn the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts （主人）and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western counties, it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude （粗鲁的）in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother'a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker,I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host,she must not do that. In most North America homes,if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask,“Is it OK if I smoke？”But, don't be surprised if they say,“No, you can't smoke.”In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.1.Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the ______ in the world．A. bestB. worstC. most naturalD. most difficult2.When a western guest visits a Chinese family，he often ______ ．A. buys some fruitB. feels like a godC. wants some giftsD. takes a cup of tea3.If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house，what will he probably say？______A. It's OK if you smoke here.B. Let's smoke together.C. Sorry，you can't smoke here.D. Smoking is a bad habit.4.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase“adapt to”in the passage？______A. think back toB. get used toC. look forward toD. keep close to5.What is the main idea of this passage______A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.B. Hosts must do things in the guest's way.C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.D. People should understand cultural differences.BThe Beets were a new couple (夫妇). The things in their rooms, such as the television, the computer, the fridge, furniture and so on, were all left by their parents. They only paid some money for their food and clothes. But they tried their best to save money. If they had something important to tell their friends, they always visited them instead of calling them.One day, it was a quarter past nine. Mr. Beet didn’t come back. His wife was a little worried. The supper was cold and she had waited for two hours. She was sitting by the table in the dark room.Suddenly the woman heard someone coming upstairs. It was her husband’s step. She hurried to open the door. In the dark she could hear his deep breathing(呼吸). As soon as he sat down, she turned on the light and found he looked very tired.“Why do you come back so late, dear?” asked the woman. “Haven’t you caught a bus?”“Yes, but I didn’t take it.”“ Why not?”“I ran after it so that I saved two dollars this evening.”“That’s great!” the woman said happily. “Run after a taxi next time and you’ll save both more time and money.”6.The supper was ready at .A. 6:15B. 6: 30C. 6:45D. 7:157.Mrs. Beet sat in the dark because .A. she wanted to save money.B. she didn’t like the bright light.C. she was afraid to be seen.D. she wanted to have a good rest.8.Mr. Beet went back .A. by taxiB. by busC. on footD. by bike9.When Mr. Beet got home that evening, .A. his wife was angry with himB. he was very tiredC. he was too hungry to say a wordD. his wife felt sorry10.Mrs. Beet hoped .A. her husband went home by taxi the next time.B. her husband could keep on doing exercise.C. her husband could be stronger and stronger.D. her husband could save more money and time.CWhen your dream is to become a footballer, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.Gabriel Muniz, an 11-year-old Brazil kid, was born without feet. Although his family thought he would have serious difficulties living a normal life, he started walking before he was one year old. His mother would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. It took him a while to make the jump from walking to playing football, but he did make it. And, in fact, there's nothing he loves more than playing football. In his school, the skillful youngster(年轻人) is not only the best player in his school team but also the captain of his gym team.He knows that his disability means he'll never be able to play for a professional(专业的) football team. So Gabriel is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympics (残疾人奥运会的) sport. He proved to everyone there he could go head to head with any other boy. Watching him play is unbelievable. He's fast and he’s got a big bag of tricks—he's very skilled and he does everything he can to copy his hero, Messi so much that he is invited to go to Spain to meet his hero Messi and show his talent in the Barcelona Football Club.His coach says he is proving the disability only exists(存在) inside our heads and he is challenging(挑战) the social norms.11.What's wrong with Gabriel Muniz?A.

He wants to fly it but his mother doesn’t let him do that.“It’s time to go to school,” says his mother, “You can fly it after dinner.”The boy is unhappy, and says goodbye to his aunt and leaves. Now he is in the classroom but he doesn’t listen to Miss Black. He only thinks how to fly the kite. Miss Black writes something on the blackboard and then turns to the class.“Name(说出……的名字) nine things with milk in them, Peter.” she says.The boy doesn’t hear her and still sits there.

2014年中考英语复习：阅读理解练习含答案（20篇）

2014年中考英语复习：阅读理解练习含答案（20篇）初三英语阅读理解20练1.The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Scottie of San-Francisco. Once he flew from the U.S. to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane made one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. As he thought he had arrived home. Mr. Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome. When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Scottie thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr. Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr. Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hour’s traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian. Mr. Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so. To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens (警报) on. “Look,” said Scottie to his interpreter (翻译), “I know I’m in Italy. That’s how they drive.”1. When Mr. Scottie arrived at the airport, nobody met him because _______.A. he was in New YorkB. he was not in RomeC. policeman could help himD. both A and B2. In what direction did the plane fly when Mr. Scottie went to Italy from the U.S.?A. To the eastB. To the southC. To the westD. To the north3. Why was Mr. Scottie so sure that he was in Rome?A. Because he knew little about the U.S.B. Because he knew little bout Italy.C. Because he traveled a lot.D. Because he didn’t travel much4. At last Mr. Scottie __________.A. know he did something wrongB. still thought he was in Rome.C. knew he was wrongD. knew he was at home5. Do you think many people do the same things as Mr. Scottie did?A. Nobody but Mr. Scottie made this kind of mistake.B. Many people make this kind of mistake.C. Few people make this kind of mistakeD. 50% of people will make the same mistakeKey: 1-5 DAABC2.“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her stude nts to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.6. We know that the word “cool” has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning7. In the passage, the word “express” means “____________.”A. seeB. showC. knowD. feel8. If you are ________ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”A. interested inB. angry aboutC. afraid ofD. unhappy with9. The write r takes an example to show he is _______ the waythe word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried aboutD. careful with10. In the passage, the writer suggests （暗示）that the word “cool” ______.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colourfulD. may not be as cool as it seemsKey: 6-10 CBACDn arts11. If you want to watch a football game, the best programme for you would be _____.A. TV playB. SportsC. Around the worldD. Talk show12.

The programme at the end of Channel 2 means _______ on TV next week.A. newsB. programmesC. peopleD. placesKey:11-15 BCBDB,4.Our sun is a star, and nine worlds (天体) move round it. Worlds like these are planets. But there are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. but we haven’t been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don’t have any light of their own. So we can’t see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard’s Star is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard’s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.16. A star is a large body in the universe. It _________.A. moves round our sunB. has light of its ownC. can also be called a sunD. both B and C17. Which of the following is not true?A. The earth is one of the sun’s world’sB.

Barnard’s Star moves more quickly than ________.A. most starsB. any other starC. its planetD. the planets round the sun20. How can people know that there is a planet round Barnard’s Star?A. Sometimes they see that the planet pulls the star to one side and makes it move slower.B. The planet is shiningC. The planet is next to our earth.D. The planet is a red one.Key: 16-20 BCBBA5.We were going to play against a team from a country school.They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worsethan we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward （前锋）. From out of nowhere a boy in an old T-shirt stopped the ball and with beautiful style （姿势）he shot and got two points. Then another two points in a minute. Soon the game was all over. We were beaten by the country team.After that, we thought a lot. We certainly learned that even though your team is very good, you can’t look down upon the others and still need to do you best. And the most important lesson we learned was: One can’t judge (判断) a person or a team only by their clothes.21. The team from the country were in old clothes so the writer’s team _______.A. looked down upon themB. couldn’t winC. didn’t like the city boyD. were afraid of them22.

2014年中考英语考前压轴训练阅读理解(3)

2014年中考英语考前压轴训练阅读理解(3)AChewing is something that comes very naturally. When we chew, we don't normally thinkabout it very much. But actually, there is a lot of science behindchewing.Chewing helps us digest(消化) food. It is the simplest andmost useful way to do this. Not chewing enough can lead to foodbeing too large to be digested. Chewing releases saliva (口水)which also helps to digest food.Chewing isn't all good news, though. Chewing gum (口香糖), for example, can cause a few problems. After a long time, your teeth will feel the effects of all that chewing. If you always chew on one side of your mouth, your jaw (下巴) might hurt. If you chew too much chewing gum, muscles(肌肉) around your mouth will grow, and your face might start to look a little square.Some scientists say that chewing affects your memory. Repeating words and ideas in your mind helps your memory. If you are chewing gum all the time, you will find it much harder to do this. As a result, you may find it harder to build up your memory. However, this is all still very uncertain.However, it isn't all bad news. Chewing gum may also improve your reactions(反应). Scientists recently did tests. They found people who were chewing gum had faster reaction times. When you are chewing gum, eight parts of the brain work together. This helps us to work quickly. Chewing gum is a double-edged sword; it may cause problems, but it may also help you.1. Chewing can help people_______.A. get fat easilyB. digest food wellC. stop releasing salivaD. get hungry easily2. A long time of chewing have the following effects EXCEPT_______.A. your teeth may hurtB. you may feel pain in your jawC. your face may look a little squareD. your memory may improve a lot3. When you are chewing gum, _______.A. you can remember things easilyB. you may react more slowlyC. eight parts of your brain workD. you may study much better4. What does the article mainly talk about?A. The science behind chewing.B. The advantages of chewing.C. The problems with chewing.D. Something about eating.参考答案1—4 BDCABThere are two twin boys.

Every year earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and a great deal of destruction in different parts of the world. There are about a millionearthquakes a year. Luckily, however, not all of themare destructive. The biggest earthquake recorded todate is 8.9 magnitude（震级）. A terrible earthquakehappened in Tangshan in 1976.

Houses fall, people are killed or hurt and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed. Can we do anything to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the "earthquake belts". In these belts, it's possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to tight against earthquakes. When the earthquake happens, you can also go into a small room like the bathroom, This will protect you from falling things. Do not get into a lift. In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before it happens. They can also tell people what to do and how to do.1.

I call it "keeping youreyes wide open".First, realize that life is filled with surprises, and many aregood ones. If you don't keep watching for them, you'll miss halfof the excitement.When you meet with challenges, welcome them. They'll make you smarter and stronger than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be thankful for the things it taught you.It's also important to decide exactly what you want. Then keep your mind focused（专心的）on it, and be ready to get it.Remember that your choices will create your successes and your failures. So think about all the ways ahead, and decide which ones to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and keep going.Most important of all: never give up on yourself.

"Thank you."I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing ofa life. I drove aimlessly（漫无目的地），lost in thought.

I went to his place and happily swept of f his patio, clearing the broken glass.While I was leaving, he thanked me.

The sound was coming from somewhere in the branches of the oak tree.This was not the usual bird song. Instead, this was a call of danger, and it didn't take long for me to discover what it was about. As I looked around, I noticed a baby bird sitting on the ground under the oak tree, while the mother bird was flying in the sky and calling its baby. That's where the birdsong came from. Clearly, this baby was on its first flight and had some difficulty.I'm sure that it needed some help. I went to see ifl could place it back in its nest（巢）. But when I went near, I suddenly realized that it would not be helpful to give that help, because it might make the mother bird fly away rather than try to go near. And ifl placed it back, it would surely lose a chance to learn how to fly. So I stopped and stepped back.Later, as I saw it fly away safely with its mom, I knew everything was OK for the birds. It was then that I got a better understanding of my purpose in this situation and in life. I am not the savior(救世主); I am just a usual person. Sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions （好心办坏事）．1. The baby bird's call was_______.A. frightened and nervousB. weak and nervousC. low and frightenedD. low and weak2.

The baby flew away with its mother safely at last.5. Which is the best title for the passage?A. The first flightB. The two birdsC. An interesting experienceD. The bird's call参考答案1—5 ACBDAJWhat is a true friend? A "true" friend is someone who has the same values（价值观）as you do. My values are all about loving my family and children. This does not just mean saying "I love you". It means showing the light of love every day.A true friend also helps others and can be counted upon if youever need help. Some people say they have friends and considerthemselves friends but they may be just good "acquaintances（熟人）”．I guess we may have known this before, but sometimes we don'trealize it until we lose a special and true friend. There are people inthe world that are good acquaintances but only think of themselvesand have no room in their lives to help others. They can't be depended upon to help others.However, I am truly thankful for my "true friends" in my life that care about family, children, and helping others.

If you have your goals, this gives you a reason to stick to your plan. For example, if someone asks you to buy a new car, you can say, “Thanks, but I already have a car, so you don’t need to give me some information about cars.”Be polite but firm(坚定) in saying NO. For example, the sentence, “I’ll try to be there” is a good reply to a party invitation. This can give you an excuse not to go to the party.When your superior(上司) asks you to do a new task, you can remind her / him that you are working on other projects.Some experts advise keeping your answer short.
