2019备战中考英语阅读理解专题练习-说明文(含解析)一、阅读理解1.When I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am. When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clear path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment(义务), work ethic(道德)and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way—putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur(企业家)from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. And I always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顾客).I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other workmates, where I became a CEO.Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they're not, you're really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.(1)What can we know from the first paragraph?A. The writer hasn't achieved his childhood ambition.B. The writer thinks there is some easy way to become a CEOC. The writer had an ambition of becoming a CEO in his childhood.D. The writer believes success stories of CEOs can be beneficial(有益的) to everybody.(2)According to the writer, successful CEOs should _____.A. try not to take risksB. stay in the same businessC. have a strong sense of creativityD. save every possible penny(3)What can we know about the writer from the passage?A. He started LivingSocial when he was still a student of Georgetown University.B. He used to run the consumer product team for AOLC. His business activities at college ended up in more failure than success.D. His father had far-reaching influence on him.(4)What does the underlined phrase “figure out” mean? ______.A. 断定B. 弄清C. 理解D. 领会(5)Which of the following proverbs may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?A. Well begun is half done.B. Everything comes to him who waitsC. Time and tide wait for no man.D. One is never too old to learn.2. This is my school. There are many trees and flowers in it. It's very beautiful. The teaching building is big and tall. There is a big playground in our school. After 4:30 in the afternoon, many students come to the playground to play football and some students play table tennis in the table tennis room. There are 1,200 students and 25 classes in our school. The students all like to study. The teachers in our school are very good. They help the students to study and the students like them, too(1)The school looks _____.A. smallB. oldC. niceD. bad (2)The school is beautiful because of (因为) ________ in it.A. trees and flowersB. a playgroundC. students and teachersD. the table tennis room(3)There are at least (至少) _____ students in one class.A. 50B. 45C. 75D. 65(4)After class the students often go to _____.Do the students like to study?A. their classroomB. their homesC. the playgroundD. the teachers’ office (5)Do the students like to study?A. Yes,they do.B. No,they don't.C. Yes,they are.D. No,they aren't.3. Everyone has worries. How do you deal with your worries? There is always something you can do to help yourself feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problems.Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If you worry most about grades, ask yourself these questions:●Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?●How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test?●Do I have a good place to do my homework?●Have I tried different ways of studying?If your worry is about a fight you had with your friend, you might write down al! the things you could do-write a note to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, say sorry to him or her and so on. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose one thing that could get your friend back.You can ask for help when you’re worried. You can find someone to talk to, such as your parents, friends, and teachers.(1)What do kids often worry most about?A. Their hobbies.B. Their homework.C. Their marks at school.D. A fight with their friends.(2)According to the passage, when you're worried, you'd better _______.A. work hardB. talk to someoneC. get ready for classD. write down your worries (3)If you're worried about grades, DON'T ask yourself "_______".A.

中考英语阅读理解-说明文练习(带答案)

中考英语阅读理解集练——说明文AReading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.First,reading books is fun.You can always keep yourself happy if you like reading.This is especially useful when the weather is bad.It is a relaxing hobby,too.You can really become lost in a book.Next,you can read a book anywhere:in a car,in a waiting-room,on a plane or in bed.All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again. Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful.If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it.This makes you read faster and become easier at understanding what you read.If you read enough,you will probably find that your schoolwork becomes much better.Some people say that reading is out of date.This is not true.You can read on computers and,the more you read,the better your computer skills will be.Good readers aremost likely to be good writers,too.They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about.Reading books is a wonderful hobby. Why not start reading right now?【小题1】The passage mainly tells us______.A.the best place to read booksB.how to read booksC.why reading is a good hobby【小题2】What does the underlined word“convenient”mean in Chinese?A.复杂的B.方便的C.流行的【小题3】Which of the following is true?A.Reading books is bad for school work.B.Reading books helps you study better.【小题4】What will you be if you are a good reader according to the last paragraph?A.A writer.B.A worker.C.A doctor.【小题5】The passage suggests us______.A.not reading too muchB.reading right nowC.becoming a writerCBBABBReading is the key to school success and,like any skill,it takes practice.A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think abouthow to put one foot in front of the other.An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly,correctly and without cators call it“automaticity(自动性)”.A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words.With practice,he stumbles less and less,reading by the phrases(短语). With automaticity,he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words,so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade.In a recent study of children in Illinois schools,Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others,but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman,the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time that a child spends reading,not his IQ.Any child who spends at least 3.5to4hours a week reading books,magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity.It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level.If you read aloud with expression,with asense of the meaning of the sentence,you probably are an automatic reader.If you read brokenly,one word at a time, without expression or meaning,you need more practice.【小题1】The sentence“Reading is the key to school success”means that reading___________.A.helps school develop fasterB.is the key to a successful schoolC.helps students go to a key schoolD.can improve students’learning results【小题2】Rossman tells that any child who_____________will probably be an automatic reader.A.turns off TV one night4weeksB.reads books by the word quicklyC.spends an hour reading every dayD.gets the same grades as others in exams【小题3】The underlined word“stumbles”in the passage means “_____________”in Chinese.A.结结巴巴地读B.全神贯注地读C.心不在焉地读D.声情并茂地读【小题4】The best title for the passage should be “______________________”.A.IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity B.TV Is Bad for Children’s ReadingC.Automaticity Depends on PracticeD.D.Automatic readers Will Be SuccessfulDCACCWe have always been interested in the moon.2000years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year.At that time,everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.When scientists could usetelescopes to study the moon more closely,their ideas began to change.They could see the moon was made of rocks.Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth.This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth's gravity millions of years earlier.In1969moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied.Much to their surprise,scientists found that,except for water,the moon and the earth were made of the same things.Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.After years of study,most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth.They believe very early in its history,maybe4million years ago,something about the size of Mars hit Earth.This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet.These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.In the future,even though our ideas about the moon may change again,we will still be interested in it.【小题1】Now,we’re sure________________A.Moon rocks are quite different from those on Earth.B.Moon was once a part of Earth.C.Moon moves around Earth and it’s the only satellite of Earth.D.Moon was once a planet caught in Earth’s gravity.【小题2】In1969there is a big event,that is__________.A.humans Found no water in Moon rocksB.scientists made out a modern spaceshipC.scientists invented an advanced telescopeD.humans left their footprints on Moon【小题3】What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A.Why people are interested in the moon.B.How ideas about the moon have changed over time.C.Where the moon came from in the past.D.That people have finally learned the truth about the moon.【小题4】Before1969most scientists thought the moon was________. A.part of the earth billions of years earlierB.older than the earthC.a planet caught by the earth's gravityD.made of the same things as the earth【小题5】From this passage we can learn that________.A.scientists in the past were not cleverB.the earth was once part of the moonC.new information brings new ideasD.we now know everything about the moonCDBCCDThere are four seasons in China.March,April and May make the spring.June, July and August make the summer season.September,October and November make the autumn season.The restof months make the winter season.The Australia seasons are the oppositeof ours.When it’s spring in China,it isautumn in Australia.Australia is in the southof the earth.June,July and August are the winter months.The summer is in December,January and February.It’s very hot there, too.Near the North Polethere are two seasons.The winter nights are long.For more than two months you can’t see the sun,even at noon.The summer days are long.For more that two months,the sun never sets,and there’s no night.【小题1】_________make the winter season in China.A.October,November and December B.November,December and January C.December,January and February D.January,February and March【小题2】When it’s summer in China,it is___________in Australia.

DCBAAGFor some people,music is no fun at all.About4%of the population is what scientists call“amusic”.People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.As a result,songs sound like noise to an amusic.Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics.In fact,most people cannot understand what it feel like be amusic.Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful.That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music.However,this can result in social loneliness.“I used to hate parties,”says Margaret,a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic.By studying people like Margaret,scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别)this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music.The difference is complex(复杂的),and it is not connected with poor hearing.Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well.They also have no problems understanding common speech.Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断).For years,Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem music.Now she knows that she is not alone.That makes it easier for her to explain.“When people invite me to a concert, I just say”No,thanks.I’m amusic.’”says Margret.【小题1】Amusics are the people who_________.A.like music B.have poor listening C.don’t like music D.are born unable to enjoy music【小题2】Life is hard for amusics mainly because_________. A.music seems noise for them.B.people don’t understand amusics C.amusics try to stay at places full of music D.amusics hate parties,restaurants or shopping center.【小题3】Scientists identify amusics by_________.A.studying different kinds of music B.going to parties regularly C.studying amusic people D.comparing music to colors【小题4】What causes amusics different from most people according to scientists?A.Their brains.B.Their poor hearing.C.Their lack of colors.D.Their problems with speech.【小题5】What is the main idea of the passage?A.Amusics’strange behaviors.B.Musical ability.C.Some people’s inability to enjoy music.D.Identification and treatment of amusic.DBCAC。

Achild learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think abouthow to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practicesuntil he can play quickly,correctly and without catorscall it“automaticity(自动性)”.A child learns to read by soundingout the letters and finding the meaning of the words.Withpractice,he stumbles less and less,reading by the phrases(短语).With automaticity,he doesn't have to think about the meaning ofwords,so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the仅供学习与参考.学习资料text.It can begin as early as first grade.In a recent study ofchildren in Illinois schools,Alan Rossman of Northwestern Universityfound that automatic readers in the first grade not only readalmost three times as fast as the others,but also got betterresults in exams.According to Rossman,the key to automaticity is the amount(数量)of time that a child spends reading,not his IQ.Any child whospends at least3.5to4hours a week reading books,magazinesor newspapers will probably reach automaticity.It can happen ifa child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which issuitable for your level.If you read aloud with expression,with asense of the meaning of the sentence,you probably are anautomatic reader.If you read brokenly,one word at a time,without expression or meaning,you need more practice.【小题1】The sentence“Reading is the key to school success”means that reading___________.A.helps school develop fasterB.is the key to a successful schoolC.helps students go to a key schoolD.can improve students' learning results【小题2】Rossman tells that any child who_____________willprobably be an automatic reader.A.turns off TV one night4weeksB.reads books by the word quickly仅供学习与参考.学习资料dayhour reading everyC.spends anexams others in.gets the same gradesasD meanspassage in the underlined word“stumbles”【小题3】The in Chinese._____________“”D.声情并茂地读C.心不在焉地读A.结结巴巴地读B.全神贯注地读bepassage should best titlefor the【小题4】TheAutomaticity the the Key to“______________________”.A.IQ IsReading Children'sIs Bad for B.TVPractice Automaticity Depends on C.Successful Be Automatic readers Will D.D.DCACCWe have always been interested in the moon.2000 years ago people alreadyknew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky atdifferent times of the year.At that time, everything about the moon waslearned by watching it carefully in the sky. When scientists could usetelescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change.Theycould see the moon was made of rocks.Most scientists thought moon rockswould be different from those on Earth.This was because they believed themoon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth's gravitymillions of years earlier.In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied.Much totheir surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earthwere made of the same things.Once again new ideas were needed for this仅供学习与参考.学习资料new information.After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was oncepart of Earth.They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million yearsago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth.This sent billions of rocksinto space around our planet.These rocks slowly joined together and aftermany years became the moon.In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, wewill still be interested in it.【小题1】Now, we're sure ________________A.Moon rocks are quite different from those on Earth.B.Moon was once a part of Earth.C.Moon moves around Earth and it's the only satellite of Earth.D.Moon was once a planet caught in Earth's gravity.【小题2】In 1969 there is a big event, that is __________.A.humans Found no water in Moon rocksB.scientists made out a modern spaceshipC.scientists invented an advanced telescopeD.humans left their footprints on Moon【小题3】What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A.Why people are interested in the moon.B.How ideas about the moon have changed over time.C.Where the moon came from in the past.仅供学习与参考.学习资料the moon. the truth about D.That people have finally learned________. the moon was 1969 4】Before most scientists thought 【小题earlier billions of years A.part of the earthearth older than the B.gravity the earth's by C.a planet caughtearth as the made of the same things D.that ________. passage we can learn 【小题5】From thisnot clever in scientists the past were A.the moon was once part of B.the earth new ideas new information brings C.moon the about now know everything D.we CDBCCDThere are four seasons in China.March, April and May make the spring.June,July and August make the summer season.September, October and November make the autumn season.The restof months make the winter season.The Australia seasons are the oppositeof ours.When it's spring in China, it isautumn in Australia.Australia is in the southof the earth.June, July and August are the wintermonths.The summer is in December, January and February.It's very hot there,too.仅供学习与参考.学习资料long.For nights are are two seasons.The winter Near the North Polethere summer sun, even at noon.The two months you can't see the more thanno there's never sets, and long.For more that two months, the sun days arenight.1】【小题China. winter season in _________make theand January and December B.November, December October, A.November March January, February and December, January and FebruaryD.C.is___________in Australia. summer it's in China, it 【小题2】When summer D..autumn C.spring A.winter B . seasons: are two ______【小题3】Near the North Pole therespring D.summer and autumn Csummer B.summer and winter .spring A.and and winter__thansummer for more Pole, there's no night in the 【小题4】Near North_months.four D..two C.three A.one B 】【小题5 Pole. winter near the North_________innights the long as are nights B.The days as longer .AThe days are than thedays the are shorter than .than days are shorter the nights DThe nights The C.CABBCENo matter where the dads and their children go, that location immediately仅供学习与参考.学习资料becomes a tourist destination.

There were once two brothers who lived on the 80th floor. On coming home one day, the lifts were not working and they had to climb the stairs home.After struggling (挣扎)to the 20th floor, they decided to throw down their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags and climbed on. When they got to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to complain (抱怨) and both of them began to quarrel (吵架). They continued quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.They then realized that they had only 20 floors to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home. Each stood before the door and waited for the other to open it. But they realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.This story is like our life. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young. We seldom get to do the things that we really love and are under so much stress that by the age of 20, we get tired and decide to drop something.Free from the stress, we work excitely with dreams. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain. The life is hard as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining any more, and we begin to walk the rest years in peace.We think that there is nothing left to let us down, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfinished dream--a dream we threw down 60 years ago.1.The two brothers left their bags on the 40th floor.2.The two brothers quarreled from the 40th floor to the 60th floor.3.One stood before the door and the other opened it.4.The writer compared our ages to floors.5.40.

Ben knows that this day honors an important man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King. Ben’s mom (0) has a close friend, Amy (1). Amy’s uncle, Mark (2), once met and spoke to John Carter (3), the son of President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way, Ben is only “five people away” from Martin Luther King Jr.The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom, but he hasn’t met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues, Amy’s uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is fo ur degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 100 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 = 31.25 × 109. This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world.Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world.52. Ben is two degrees away from __________.A. Jimmy CarterB. John CarterC. AmyD. Mark53. What is the meaning of “degrees of separation” in Paragraph 2?A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people.C. The steps of knowing strangers.D. The separation between strangers.54. What is the small-world theory mainly about?A. How far Ben is away from Dr. King.B. How many people one can get to know.C. How people are connected in the world.D. How the degrees of separation are set up.55. We can learn from the article that _____________.A. the small-world theory worksB. more research is needed to prove the theoryC. six degrees are needed to know the strangersD. the writer’s purpose is to help people find out their places(5)Skin-diving(潜水) is a new sport today.This sport takes you into a wonderful new world.It is like a visit to the moon.When you are under water,it is easy for you to climb big rocks(岩石),because you are no longer heavy.Here,under water,everything is blue and green.During the day,there is plenty of light.When fish swim nearby,you can catch them easily with your hands.When you have tanks(罐) of air on your back,you can stay in deep water for a long time.But you must be careful when you stay in deep water.To catch fish is one of the most interesting parts of this sport.Besides,there are more uses for skin-diving.51.By skin-diving you can get into a wonderful world.52.Skin-diving is to visit the moon.53.You cannot catch fish in the sea during the day.54.With tanks of air on your back you can stay in deep water.55.Skin-diving is interesting but not useful.参考答案(1)76-80.ABBCC(2)81-85.CBDDA(3)86-90.CBBAD(4)52-55.

It will cause pollution. Compared with normal fireworks which we usually set off, electronic fireworks never produce smoke and noise.”Why did they use this kind of f ireworks? Because they were “green”, and Sha Xiaolan hoped to show environmental protection to the world. It did not mean there would be less excitement of the opening ceremony. According to the digital technology, 3D pictures, AR technology and more, the electronic fireworks have left a deep thinking on the people. “People have rich feelings while they are watching the fireworks. Today is the first time I have seen electronic fireworks, and they are more special than normal fireworks.” He told China News reporters.“High technologies helped produce environmental-friendly fireworks,” She said. “The research team designed fireworks with 3D technology.

中考英语分项汇编阅读理解之说明文阅读(含答案解析)

中考英语分项汇编阅读理解说明文阅读01Back in Brisbane, Australia, for the Christmas break, I found myself in a public transport dead zone. Bikeless, 7 kilometers from where I was meeting friends and unwilling to get a taxi, I decided to borrow an electric scooter. The trip took far longer than it would have by bike, mainly because of a major spill halfway there. A rock, hit at speed, is a terrible thing: weeks later, I still had the red knees of a primary schooler.In the UK, they are legal (合法的) only on private land, but the Department for Transport is discussing how to control them on public roads and pathways, with the possibility for legalization later this year. Other cities that have e-scooter rental programs have had problems in the early period. In Paris, Mayor Anne Hidalgo described the situation last year as messy. She has announced that the city is reducing its number of e-scooters to 15,000 and plans to create laws forbidding them from pavements (人行道). France has put into force laws limitinge-scooter speeds to 25 kilometres per hour.Similar to dockless (无桩的) hire bicycles, e-scooters are parked on pavements and people leave them up trees or throw them into rivers. Wild treatment shortens their lifetime, which is bad for both profitability (盈利) and the environment. Analysis suggests that the averagee-scooter’s lifetime is just three months.I think e-scooters are an basic part of the effort to make city transport greener. They are seen as a key to the “last mile” problem—a potential way to reduce transport jam by rapidly getting someone to their final goal. Cars can take up 28 times the space of a person riding a bicycle. As far as the environmental effect goes, recent research suggests that e-scooters are not as green as walking or cycling, but they are still better than cars. And though there are still many reports of serious accidents, scooting is about as safe as cycling. Stephen Gossling at Lund University inSweden has suggested we build car-free “micromobility” streets, where cyclists, pedestrians (行人) and e-scooters could share the road. He thinks this will reduce accident risks and invite more vulnerable (易受伤害的) traffic participants, such as children, to become active transport users. If more e-scooters mean fewer cars on roads, an improvement in local air quality is also a likely result. When 20 kilometers of roads in central London closed for World Car-Free Day last September, the air quality was greatly improved according to the report.1.What does the underlined part “a major spill” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.A serious fall. B.A sudden illness.C.A legal reaction. D.A terrible breakdown.2.What do we know about e-scooters in Paris?A.They are illegal on pavements.B.They are already out of fashion.C.They are facing more limits.D.They are more common on private land.3.What is the writer’s opinion of e-scooters?A.They are not as safe as cycling.B.They always cause the traffic jams.C.They are as green as cycling or walking.D.They play a big role in the “last mile” problem.4.What is Stephen Gossling’s suggestion?A.To set up more care-free days.B.To invite more cyclists to use e-scooters.C.To get vulnerable pedestrians off the road.D.To separate cars from e-scooters on the road.02With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the Fifth Generation (5G) mobile communication system started to come. Although the development of 5G network technology in the international community is still in the research stage, a number of foreign countries and organizations are working on it. China started late in network technologies. In order to catch with the times, China also needs to have its own place in such a competitive environment.There are some quick changes in China’s telecom space. With the 4G network now widely used, China is now preparing to enter 5G age. China has started research and development on the 5G network and plans to finish the network testing by around 2019.It’s expected that just one standard will be used globally (全球的) with the 5G technology “Under the identical standard, different companies can be connected, and form a competitive environment. Therefore, we can make sure that companies can gain reasonable profits (利润), and at the same time provide faster, better, more convenient and cheaper services to people.” Wu Ku, Director of Dept. of Science &Tech., MIIT said.Wu Hequan from Chinese Academy of Engineering said, “5G will make it possible to connect one million devices to the so-called Internet of Things within one square meter. In the future, it will also be used on high-speed trains moving as fast as 500 kilometers per hour. In the area of the Internet of Vehicles (汽车), it can be used in unmanned vehicles, assisted driving and the management of smart cities.” Wu Hequan believes China’s future Internet will be faster, more intelligent and safer.Chinese government pays more attention to the development of 5G and in more open to it. With the shared effort of the industry, China will play an increasing important role in the global 5G development.5.The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us ________.A.what 5G network technology meansB.the reason why we need 5G network technologyC.the fact that China started late in 5G network technologyD.the fact that 5G network technology is good6.The underlined world “identical” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A.same B.fast C.practical D.modern7.In Wu Ku’s opinion, ________ should be used globally with the 5G technology.A.the network testing B.cheaper servicesC.just one standard D.unmanned vehicles8.Wu Hequan thinks 5G network technology is full of ________.A.competitions B.possibilities C.profits D.difficulties9.After reading the passage, we can infer that ________.A.China will use 5G network technology in transportB.China has already entered the 5G age completelyC.Chinese government didn’t pay attention to the development of 5G beforeD.China is No.1 in 5G network technology03As people all over the world struggled with higher levels of stress, depression and anxiety this past year, many turned to their favorite comfort foods: ice cream, pizza, hamburgers. But studies in recent years suggest that the high-sugar and high-fat foods when we are stressed or depressed, as comforting as they may seem, are the least likely to be good for our mental (精神上的) health. Instead, whole foods such as vegetables, fruit, fish, eggs, nuts may be a better bet.Historically, nutrition research has paid much attention to how the foods we eat influence our physical (身体上的) health, rather than our mental health, though. Over the years, large population studies have found that people who are asked to follow a Mediterranean diet for three months had greater reductions in symptoms of depression after three months compared to a control group. Public health professors around the world have started encouraging people to take and use lifestyle behaviors like exercise, sound sleep, a heart-healthy diet and avoiding smoking that may reduce inflammation (发炎) and have advantages for the brain. Individual clinicians (临床医师) are already including nutrition into their work with patients. Dr. Drew Ramsey, a clinical professor at the Columbia University, begins his meetings with new patients by exploring their diet. He asks what they eat, learns their favorite foods, and finds out if foods that he considers important for the connection are missing from their diets, such as plants, seafood.Dr. Ramsey said he didn’t want people to think that the only factor involved in brain health is food. “Lots of people get their food exactly right, live very active lives, and still have many troubles with their mental health,” he said. But he also teaches people that food can be empowering. “We can’t control our genes,” he said. “But we can control how we eat, and that gives people actionable things that they can do to take care of their brain health on a daily basis.”10.What do previous (以前的) nutrition studies mainly pay attention to?A.How our diets influence our mental health.B.How our diets influence our physical health.C.How our mental health influences our diets.D.How our physical health influences our diets.11.Why are individual clinicians including nutrition into their work with patients?A.They try to satisfy their patients’ needs.B.They are questioning public health professors.C.They want to prove the value of healthy diets.D.They have accepted the findings of large population studies.12.Which of the following might Dr. Ramsey agree with?A.Some connection lives between our diets and mental health.B.People can control their genes as well as how they eat.C.People living active lives will not have mental problems.D.Eating a healthy diet is going to cure depression.04Schoolchildren spend most of their time surrounded by their peers (同龄人). They spend a lot more time with classmates, teammates and fellow club members than with adults in their lives. Peer pressure can have a huge influence on the lives of children in grades two through twelve.From birth through age six, the family shapes a child’s sense of identity (个性). Parents and brothers and sisters affect a child’s likes, dislikes, tastes in clothing, food and music and, perhaps most importantly, values. Once children enter school, they form connections to the larger group of their peers. This group brings new ideas and experiences. Peer pressure happens when a student’s actions are influenced by this group. The “pressure” happens when peers suggest or demand actions different from the child’s normal behavior and values.Peer pressure leads to some disturbing negative behavior in schoolchildren. In the USA, about 75% of high school students have tried alcohol (酒) offered by their friends in middle or high school. According to a survey, students felt pressured by their peers between 35 and 49% of the time. The power of peer pressure can result from a schoolchild’s growing desire (渴望) to fit into a group.Thankfully, peer pressure can also be positive. For example, wanting to join an athletic group of friends may force a student who has been sitting for a long time to try out for the soccer team. In a survey on peer pressure, 51% of teenagers felt that peer pressure was sometimes positive. One teenager responded, “Sometimes it can help you gain confidence.” Other examples of positive peer pressure include students encouraging a classmate to run for school president, or friends suggesting that a talented peer try out for a talent show. 13.What leads to schoolchildren’s peer pressure?A.The identity shaped by their family.B.The connections with their classmates.C.The childhood experiences with their friends.D.The differences in their behavior and values.14.Why do some schoolchildren behave negatively under peer pressure?A.To kill their boring time.B.To fit into a peer group.C.To help gain confidence.D.To improve social skills.15.What does the author think of peer pressure?A.Peer pressure does more harm than good.B.Peer pressure is very good for schoolchildren’s growth.C.Peer pressure is not necessarily bad for school children.D.Peer pressure plays an important role in shaping a child’s values.0516.People usually use ________ for doing traditional Chinese painting.①brushes ②ink ③colour pencils ④paper ⑤silkA.①②③④B.②③④⑤C.①②③⑤D.①②④⑤17.The underlined word “contains” means “________”.A.likes B.controls C.prevents D.includes18.The passage is about ________.A.Chinese music B.Chinese painting C.Chinese culture D.Chinese history06There is a Chinese saying which means something like this: Your mother always asks you to wear warm clothes even when it’s not cold. This jokingly reflects the over-concern of your mother. Anyhow, Mother’s Day is around the corner. Today I’d like to share the origin of this festival with you on my blog.Every country has a holiday to honor mothers, motherhood, and their influence on society. The most common day for this celebration is the second Sunday in May. The idea to have a holiday just for celebrating mothers comes from many sources. Long ago, there were ancient events that included honoring women and mothers. However, it was the influence of women in the US that really set the stage for this holiday. The modern American holiday of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908 for her mother in Grafton, West Virginia. Her campaign to make “Mother’s Day” a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Anna’s mother was a peace activist who had cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna was the first to fight for Mother’s Day becoming an official holiday. She finally succeeded in 1914.Celebrating Mother’s Day is just as varied as the date when it is held. In China, it is just starting to become more and more popular. Carnations(康乃馨)are a very popular Mother’sDay gift and the most sold flowers. Mother’s Day in Canada typically involves small celebrations and gift-giving to one’s mother, or other important female figures in one’s family. In Bangiadesh, the whole country centers around mothers. Specially themed TV shows, and gatherings are organized. In the old days in France, mothers of large families were given medals. Nowadays, flower arrangements, and handmade gifts are popular choices. So is giving mothers a day off to go to a spa or salon.Don’t forget to express your thanks to your mom on this Mother’s Day!19.When was Mother’s day first celebrated in modern America?A.In 1914.B.In 1905.C.In 1908.D.In 1909.20.What was Anna Reeves Jarvis like?A.generous and successful.B.serious and patient.C.clever and caring.D.peace-loving and warm-hearted.21.What does the underlined word “varied” mean in the third paragraph?A.same B.different C.popular D.important22.What can be inferred from this passage?A.People didn’t hold events to honor mothers in the past.B.Some mothers were presented medals in the old France.C.Anna celebrated the first Mother’s Day with her mom.D.The whole country celebrates Mother’s Day in China.23.Where can this passage be taken from?A.A textbook.B.A magazine.C.A website.D.A letter07The elderly residents(居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.The project was dreamed up by a local charity(慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s well-being. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.”“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said, “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”24.What is the purpose of the project?A.To ensure harmony in care homes.B.To provide part-time jobs for the aged.C.To raise money for medical research.D.To give the elderly a sense of success.25.What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?A.Improve.B.Oppose.C.Begin.D.Review.26.What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?A.It is well received.B.It needs to be more creative.C.It is highly profitable.D.It takes ages to see the results.08Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula(芝麻菜)was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Thenfriends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from “ugly”(but quite eatable)vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but for him, it’s more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished(有瑕疵的)produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? V olunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.27.What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?A.We pay little attention to food waste.B.We waste food carelessly at times.C.We waste more vegetables than meat.D.We have good reasons for wasting food.28.What is a result of food waste according to the text?A.Moral decline.B.Environmental harm.C.Energy shortage.D.Worldwide hunger. 29.What does Curtin suggest people do?A.Buy only what is needed.B.Reduce food product.C.Go shopping once a week.D.Eat in restaurants less often.09Do you know how to get on well with people? Do you ever feel shy? What situation makes you feel shy? Do you sometimes feel that you don’t know how to interest people and have conversations with them? Do people find an excuse to leave you as soon as they can?Try listening! Here is an example of mine.One evening last week, I was sitting with Hannah, and she said to me, “You are a great mom!” And I said, “Why do you say that suddenly?” She said, “Well, although you are always busy, you always stop to listen to me.”Here is some advice about listening:Show the other person that you are listening.Look at them.Smile and nod quite often.Shake your head or raise your eyebrows if you don’t follow what they are saying.Don’t tap your foot because this will show impatience.Don’t look at your watch unless you really have to know the time. If you show the impatience, then the other person won’t make friends with you any more.A good listener has magic! A good listener can make people feel good, and is as important as a good talker at a party. But just listening is not enough. One should listen smartly by trying to find out what the other person would really like to communicate.30.Hannah thought her mother was great because ________.A.her mother always listened to her B.her mother was busyC.her mother got on well with others D.her mother was sitting with her31.When you are listening to others, you shouldn’t ________.A.look at your watch all the time B.look at their eyesC.smile and nod D.show your attitude32.If you tap your foot when listening to others, maybe you’ll ________.A.be a good listener B.lose their friendshipC.agree with them D.be a good friend33.What should be the best title of the passage?A.How to make friends.B.How to talk to people.C.How to be a good listener.D.How to know a person.10Globalization means that people, ideas, technology, money, services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act.Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is bad, and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say that globalization helps big companies likeCoca-Cola and McDonald’s destroy (破坏) local businesses. However, the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesn’t destroy local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic (经济的) connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren’t destroyed.Whether you think globalization is good or bad, it affects the world in two areas: jobs and cultures.Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world. For some workers, such as engineers, lawyers and bankers, globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully compete globally and have seen an increase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the service industry at hotels, shops and restaurants, it has not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This lowers the pay for that job, so people get paid less to do it.Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles, Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters (汉字) in tattoos (文身). Some people get these tattoos but they don’t really know what the characters mean. Globalization also influences the film industry. Most people have seen American movies. But because of globalization, Korean, Indian and Japanese movies have become more worldwide.No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people’s lives in the future.34.Why do some people think globalization is good?A.Because they think globalization may change local cultures.B.Because they think globalization may help local business develop.C.Because they think globalization may make rich people become richer.D.Because they think globalization may help stop wars among countries.35.Which is true according to Paragraph 4?A.Engineers will get a low pay.B.People can get favourite jobs more easily.C.Globalization greatly influences people’s jobs.D.Workers from rich countries get paid less.36.Which is the advantage of globalization?A.It helps people in the world know Chinese characters very well.B.It makes people in the world go to different countries for movies easier.C.People in the world will own the same culture in the end.D.People in the world can enjoy foods from different countries.37.What can we learn from the passage?A.Globalization is sure to do good to people.B.Globalization will be limited in the future.C.Globalization may change people’s lives in the future.D.Globalization will be loved all over the world.参考答案1.A2.C3.D4.D【导语】本文主要介绍了一些城市出现电动踏板车后出现的一些问题。

中考英语阅读理解说明文篇(4)

中考英语阅读理解-说明文篇(4)(16)Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too.During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack (断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and ma ke maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.51. The reason for an earthquake is .A. that there are so many plates on the earthB. that the sea is too deepC. rocks’ cracking open52. A lot of earthquakes often happens .A. in the areaB. next to mountainsC. at night53. A map showing the earthquake belts will tell people .A. what kind of houses to buildB. what kind of houses can stay up in an earthquakeC. where earthquake may happen54. Which is Not True according to the passage?A. During an earthquake people are killed or hurt.B. The scientists can tell when and where an earthquake is now.C. we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.55. In the future, we’ll be no longer so afraid of earthquakes .A. with the help of scientists’ exact predictionB. because of a map showing the “earthquake belts”C. because we can guess the date and place of earthquakes(17)We all dream although we remember only a few of our dreams. Some people train themselves to remember their dreams. As soon as they wake up, they record what their dreams were about.Scientists believe that we have different kinds of sleep. One kind is called R.E.M. R.E.W. stands for Rapid(快速的) Eye movement. During this kind of sleep our eyes move quickly, even though they are closed. Although we are asleep, there is a lot of brain(头脑) activities. We probably have dreams at this time.Sometimes people talk in their sleep. In these dreams the dreamer is usually unhappy or worried about something. The worst of the dreams are so frightening that we call them nightmares. In a nightmare we often dream that we are being closed(追赶) or that we are trapped in some way.Scientists or others have written books about the meanings of dreams. The most famous of these scientists was Sigmund Freud who wrote a hundred years ago. He suggested different meanings to certain kinds of dreams. It is possible, however, that every dream has a special meaning only for the person who dreams it, and that this dream about something in that person’s life.63. How can we tell if someone is having an R.E.M. dream?A. They are talking in their sleep.B. They are worried about something.C. Their eyes are moving quickly.D. heir eyes are moving slowly.64. What does the word “nightmare” in the 3rd paragraph means in Chinese?A. 噩梦B. 睡眠C. 美梦D. 失眠65. What is the main idea of Paragraph Four?A. Bad DreamsB. The meaning of dreamsC. People and their dreamsD. R.E.M. and sleep and dreams(18)Everyone worries.But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small,you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:1.Try to find out what you’re worried aboutSometimes,you will know what you’re worried about.Other times,you might not.Try to find it out first: if you can’t,you can ask for help.2.Think of ways to make it betterThere is always something you can do to help you feel less worried.Sitting there worrying is no fun and itwon’t solve your problem.Grades at school are often a top worry for kids.If you’re worried about grades.ask yourself these questions:☆Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?☆How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test?☆Do I have a good place to do my homework?☆Have I tried different ways of studying?If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend,you might write down all the things you could do-write a note to him or her,invite him or tier to a basketball game,say sorry to him or her etc.Once you have a list of things you could do,you can choose the one that gets your friend back.3.Ask for helpWhen you’re worried,it can help to find someone to talk to.You can ask your parents,friends,or teachers for help.根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

九年级英语阅读理解专题练习-说明文(含解析)阅读理解1.When I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am. When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clear path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment(义务), work ethic(道德)and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way—putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur(企业家)from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. And I always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顾客).I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other workmates, where I became a CEO.Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they're not, you're really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.(1)What can we know from the first paragraph?A. The writer hasn't achieved his childhood ambition.B.

【中考英语总复习 考点专项练习】39 阅读理解之说明文(解析版)

专项39 阅读理解之说明文"英语说明文",顾名思义,就是一种以"说明、解释"为主要表达方式的英语文体。

它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。

它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写,也不像议论文那样,重在阐明主张和论点论据;更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。

说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理,使人们增长知识和技能。

说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。

说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法,因此说明文结构复杂,专业术语多,易于拉开考生分数档次,便于高校分层次选拔人才。

然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高,解题难度大。

高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识,动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文,文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。

因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点,叙述方式,以冷静的心态阅读原文,重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系,以便对其做出准确的语意理解。

说明文阅读理解的特征一般说来,英语说明文与其他文体一样,文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面,即who → what → when → where → how → why。

1. who:问的是这篇文章的主体是谁?(即所要说明和描述的人或事物)2. what:问的是主体做了什么事情?(即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途)3. when和where:是在何时何地发生的?(即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途)4. how:通过什么方式表现出来的?5. why:这种特性功能用途的原因是什么?做说明文阅读理解题的时候,一定要记住上面的wh-word。

边阅读,边搜记,牢记要点,把握全文。

2024年中考英语复习模拟精练与真题演练—阅读理解之说明文(含解析)

2024年中考英语复习模拟精练与真题演练—阅读理解之说明文(含解析)(2023·江西南昌·南昌市八一中学校考模拟预测)Have you ever heard of expressive writing?Writing about a terrible or difficult situation is called“expressive writing”.People who do this,record their deepest thoughts and feelings.Doctor Pan,leader of this study of expressive writing as a highly effective way to deal with painful experiences,says these people often show excellent mental and physical condition afterwards.Expressive writing is effective because it allows you to make sense out of an upsetting and even heart-breaking experience.As you write,you are recognizing what is happening around,and accepting that something is bothering you is an important first step.Next,translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts and gives you a sense of control.Thinking or talking about an event seems useful.However,the more you think or talk about it,the more likely you will find yourself in a mess.As a result,you get completely lost in your own emotions and finally lose self-control.Writing works differently as it makes you slow down.The act of labeling a feeling of putting words to an emotion can ease(缓解)the neural(神经系统的)activities in the brain.What if you don’t consider yourself“a writer”?Don’t worry about spelling or grammar.Take it easy when you choose the words or expressions.Only dig into your inner self.The goal of the exercise is to find meaning in an upsetting event.Many people have tried this method.After his father was rushed to the hospital because of a serious heart attack,43-year-old Alex began to panic.So he did the one thing that would calm himself:he wrote.He thinks of it as a captain’s life buoy(救生衣).“My expressive writing gave me the courage I need to face my fear and move on,”Alex says.There are a few who are against this approach.According to them,expressive writing isn’t a magical solution. People shouldn’t fully trust the effect of expressive writing.Neither should they think of using it to replace other treatments.People who are faced with a serious mental disaster may not find it useful to do on their own,withoutmedicine.1.What’s the first step of expressive writing?A.To write down what is bothering you.B.To train yourself into an excellent writer.C.To talk about your feelings to others.D.To think about the bad experience carefully.2.Who is Alex?A.A captain on a ship.B.The son of a patient who has a serious heart attack.C.A doctor in a hospital.D.The leader of a study about expressive writing.3.What does the underlined word“panic”mean according to the passage?A.Complain.B.Fear.C.Doubt.D.Guard.4.What benefits does expressive writing have?a.It has a sense out of an upsetting experience.b.It’s easy to lose your own emotions and self-control.c.It forces you to organize your thoughts when writing.d.It gives courage to face fear.A.abc B.bcd C.acd D.abd5.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Expressive writing can deal with all kinds of problems.B.Some people don’t think expressive writing as a perfect way.C.Expressive writing can help with serious mental disasters.D.Medicine is not useful when someone has a mental disaster.【答案】1.A2.B3.B4.C5.B【导语】本文主要介绍了表达性写作。

中考英语阅读理解集练——说明文AReading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.First,reading books is fun.You can always keep yourself happy if you like reading.This is especially useful when the weather is bad.It is a relaxing hobby,too.You can really become lost in a book.Next,you can read a book anywhere:in a car,in a waiting-room,on a plane or in bed.All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful.If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it.This makes you read faster and become easier at understanding what you read.If you read enough,you will probably find that your schoolwork becomes much better.Some people say that reading is out of date.This is not true.You can read on computers and,the more you read,thebetter your computer skills will be.Good readers aremost likely to be good writers,too.They are usually good at spelling as well,and have more things to write about.Reading books is a wonderful hobby. Why not start reading right now?【小题1】The passage mainly tells us______.A.the best place to read booksB.how to read booksC.why reading is a good hobby【小题2】What does the underlined word“convenient”mean in Chinese?A.复杂的B.方便的C.流行的【小题3】Which of the following is true?A.Reading books is bad for school work.B.Reading books helps you study better.【小题4】What will you be if you are a good reader according to the last paragraph? A.A writer. B.A worker. C.A doctor.【小题5】The passage suggests us______.A.not reading too muchB.reading right nowC.becoming a writerCBBABBReading is the key to school success and,like any skill,it takes practice.A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think abouthow to put one foot in front of the other.An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly,correctly and without cators call it“automaticity(自动性)”.A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words.With practice,he stumbles less and less,reading by the phrases(短语). With automaticity,he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words,so he can give all his attention to the meaning of thetext.It can begin as early as first grade.In a recent study of children in Illinois schools,Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others,but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman,the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time that a child spends reading,not his IQ.Any child who spends at least 3.5to4hours a week reading books,magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity.It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level.If you read aloud with expression,with a sense of the meaning of the sentence,you probably are an automatic reader.If you read brokenly,one word at a time, without expression or meaning,you need more practice.【小题1】The sentence“Reading is the key to school success”means that reading___________.A.helps school develop fasterB.is the key to a successful schoolC.helps students go to a key schoolD.can improve students’learning results【小题2】Rossman tells that any child who_____________will probably be an automatic reader.A.turns off TV one night4weeksB.reads books by the word quicklyC.spends an hour reading every dayD.gets the same grades as others in exams【小题3】The underlined word“stumbles”in the passage means “_____________”in Chinese.A.结结巴巴地读B.全神贯注地读C.心不在焉地读D.声情并茂地读【小题4】The best title for the passage should be “______________________”.A.IQ Is the Key to the AutomaticityB.TV Is Bad for Children’s ReadingC.Automaticity Depends on PracticeD.D.Automatic readers Will Be SuccessfulDCACCWe have always been interested in the moon.2000years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year.At that time,everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely,their ideas began to change.They could see the moon was made of rocks.Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth.This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth's gravity millions of years earlier.In1969moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied.Much to their surprise,scientists found that,except for water,the moon and the earth were made of the same things.Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.After years of study,most scientists now think that the moon was oncepart of Earth.They believe very early in its history,maybe4million years ago,something about the size of Mars hit Earth.This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet.These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.In the future,even though our ideas about the moon may change again,we will still be interested in it.【小题1】Now,we’re sure________________A.Moon rocks are quite different from those on Earth.B.Moon was once a part of Earth.C.Moon moves around Earth and it’s the only satellite of Earth.D.Moon was once a planet caught in Earth’s gravity.【小题2】In1969there is a big event,that is__________.A.humans Found no water in Moon rocksB.scientists made out a modern spaceshipC.scientists invented an advanced telescopeD.humans left their footprints on Moon【小题3】What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A.Why people are interested in the moon.B.How ideas about the moon have changed over time.C.Where the moon came from in the past.D.That people have finally learned the truth about the moon.【小题4】Before1969most scientists thought the moon was________.A.part of the earth billions of years earlierB.older than the earthC.a planet caught by the earth's gravityD.made of the same things as the earth【小题5】From this passage we can learn that________.A.scientists in the past were not cleverB.the earth was once part of the moonC.new information brings new ideasD.we now know everything about the moonCDBCCDThere are four seasons in
