Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed."That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal."Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy.""And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him.""That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite(咬人)?""No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone.

But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?A. awayB. goneC. disappearingD. coming51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.A. warmB. rainyC. clear and fineD. cold52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?A. A rainbow appears in the morning.B. Some birds fly high.C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.(7)One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter?" "I went to a party last night, so I……"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most……"You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.53. This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing" in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time54. From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is _________.A. "… so I didn't have a good time."B. "…so I went to bed very late."C. "….so I felt unhappy."D. "… so I got up very early."55. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."D. "I think you'd better be more careful."56. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is ______.A. "…… she is one of the most famous film stars."B. "……sh e is one of the most beautiful women."C. "……she is one of the most famous speakers."D. "……she is one of the most talkative women."(8)Would you know what to do during a big earthquake? Scientists have some advice for us.If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, stop your car on the roadside and stay in it. If you are in a tall building, don't use the lift and never jump out of the windows. When you are in a living room, find a strong table or rush into a smaller room like washroom. Then lie down your body. Take care of your head. When you are in a public place, like supermarket or cinema, don't crowd in jam(拥挤) , or you may fall over and get hurt. Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for rescue(援救) using. Don't go to the hospital if you are not badly hurt, others will really need help. Take part in the rescue action if you can.57. What should people do if they are driving when an earthquake happens?A. Drive on quickly.B. Take care of the car.C. Stop the car on the roadside.D. Jump out of the windows.58. Why does the writer say "Don't crowd in jam in public places"?A. Because people can lie down easily.B. Because people may get help quickly.C.

We'll share what we have with them.”I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this,I encouraged(鼓励) the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out his old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy,her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh,dear,”I said, “You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said,“Lucy makes me happy,Mommy.

中考英语英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)50一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1.阅读理解According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University, nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2019, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone.However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it sends us unlimited amounts of information. On the other hand, using a smartphone may become an addiction.Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university. They led the study. Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction.And these connections form slowly over time. Also, addiction to social media may affect our emotional state. The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings. They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely, depressed and anxious.Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction. They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction. The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts.But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers. Enk Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook, set aside a small amount of time to it. You should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you.(1)What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Smartphone use has become extremely common.B. Most young people can't live without smartphones.C. Smartphones make our life more colorful and convenient.D. Most people consider smartphones as the greatest invention.(2)The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means smartphone technology____.A. has a brilliant futureB. can be better than most people thinkC. has both advantages and disadvantagesD. can give us unlimited amounts of information(3)What did Enk Peper and Richard Harvey find about smartphone use?A. It can help reduce loneliness.B. It's more popular with students.C. It's preferred by young people feeling lonely.D. It can harm students' emotional state in many ways.(4)What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Social media isn't that important to us.B. We can train our brine to do many things.C. We shouldn't become addicted to our smartphones.D. There are ways to deal with Smartphone use addiction.(5)Which of the followings is True?A. We can use smartphones to deal with loneliness.B. An addiction can't be controlled if we still use smartphones.C. There were nearly 2. 4 billion people using smartphones in the world in 2017.D.

阅读理解专项练习50-33CGordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft(手艺).He builds model ships inside old bottles. Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a display of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the display was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship t hrough the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty(一层油灰),carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts(桅杆).Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.Gordon has completed well over one hundred mo dels. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand.根据短文内容,选择最佳答案,并在答题卡上按要求作答。

阅读理解专项练习50-31CFor a long time being happy was considered natural,and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that we can work at getting along well with other people. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.One way is being unselfish,not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of everything, including the attention of your friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people.You don’t have to be spineless(无骨气的)in order to be popular. In fact,you will be liked and respected(尊重)if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights(权利). But do it politely and pleasantly. One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people,to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.You cannot expect to be pe rfect, so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged(泄气的) when they know their unpleasant qualities—selfishness,laziness,etc. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.When sometMng is wrong,it is best to t ry to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why,and look at yourself,too. Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can wi th the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.27.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined part?A.Not sharing anything with others.B.Not thinking too much of yourselfC.Not attracting the attention of your friends.D.Not making friends with people who have bad points.28.How can we get along well with others according to the passage?A.We should find out unpleasant qualities in others and in ourselves.B.We should show others our unpleasant qualities.C.We should stand up for our rights in any way we like.D.We should fight against our unpleasant qualities.29.What can we know from the passage?A.Even if we don’t have good relationships with others,we needn’t work at it.B.Even if someone is not important to us,we still need to treat him politely.C.Even if we are willing to learn from ouy mistakes,we are still to be blamed.D.Even if the situation cannot be changed, we still need to worry much about it.【主旨大意】如何让自己变得更快乐。

解析:句意“不想让你随心所欲或要求最美好的一切”28.D解析:根据One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people,to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest yo u.”29.B.解析:最后一段。
DYou are probably familiar with the saying:An apple a day keeps the doctor away.A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:An apple a day may keep aging away.The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk,climb and move about as they aged.According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses,as well as aging.In another study,researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.The apples’ genetic cod e(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthy’’apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.Th e team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant,which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches,strawberries and other related fruits. 30.Why were fruit flies used for the research?A.Because they have a similar diet to humans.B.Because they have a history as long as apples.C.Because they share a lot of genes with humans.D.Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.31.What result did the researchers find out?A.Apples produce chemicals that can change hum an genes.B.Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.C.Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’bodies.D.Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.32.What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?A.Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.B.Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.C.They experienced a great genetic change making them used to worse conditions.D.They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.33.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A.Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.B.People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.C.Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.D.People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.【主旨大意】一天一个苹果,疾病远离我,可最近一项研究表明,一天一个苹果,有助于抗老化。
