中考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、阅读理解1．阅读理解In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor（辅导员）at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise, I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and died. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said, "Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference to Tommy during his last months."At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to his own "boy under the tree".（1）Before the writer came to the high school summer camp, he was a（n） .A. instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter（2）How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A.

中考英语阅读理解议论文真题汇总
中考英语阅读理解议论文真题汇总（2023·四川眉山·统考中考真题）Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world.It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world.In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station.There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1?A．By telling a story.B．By giving examples.C．By asking questions.D．By describing a scene.2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Traveling alone.B．Inner strength.C．Outside influence.D．Traveling with others.3．Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT ________.A．sharing a lot of things B．knowing yourself betterC．getting support easily D．having a sense of safety4．What’s the structure of the passage?(①=Paragraph 1 ①=Paragraph 2… )A．B．C．D．（2023·广东广州·统考中考真题）Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind?For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face.Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate.To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!5．Why do scientists think a robot needs a face?A．It will become more beautiful.B．It can do better in lifting things.C．It will pay more attention to children.D．It can better communicate with people.6．What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2?A．Uncomfortable to look at.B．Impossible to touch.C．Boring to talk to.D．Difficult to understand.7．Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with?A．People should treat robots as humans.B．Robots need to express their own feelings.C．Robots shouldn't look too much like humans.D．People can easily accept robots with a human face.8．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To explain the reasons why robots should have faces.B．To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces.C．To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have.D．To show how scientists invent robots with different faces.（2023·湖南长沙·统考中考真题）It is commonly believed that children are too young to fully appreciate (欣赏) the experience and knowledge of their elders, while many think that old people don’t understand the young. But actually (事实上), both groups have a lot to learn from each other.James Smith runs the Smith’s Care Home in my city. It is mainly an organization (机构) for serving the elderly. But not all of its visitors are old people. The home also includes a childcare center for pre-school kids. There is a playground in the care home, where the elderly can play with the kids. In this way, they can learn more about each other, and respect (尊重) and understand one another.I suppose this is quite an interesting idea. For one thing, we live in a world where there are more and more old people. The world is facing this problem and its population ages. It will be important for young people to be able to understand and care for the elderly in the coming years.Regretfully, my own grandparents weren’t around when I was little, as they had already passed away. I never got to learn what the world was like through their eyes, or what kinds of problems they might have faced when they were my age. To me, their lives will always be a mystery — hard to understand or explain.However, I think I can still learn from other people of older generations (辈). I might find some of their ideas out of date, and they might believe that my generation’s way of thinking is strange or incorrect. But we can still learn from each other anyway.9．What is special about the Smith’s Care Home?A．It is only a childcare center actually.B．The elderly look after kids carefully there.C．It accepts both the elderly and pre-school kids.10．In the writer’s opinion (观点),what problem is the world facing?A．There are more and more old people.B．The world’s population is dropping rapidly.C．The world is short of care homes for old people.11．What does the underlined word “mystery” mean in Paragraph 4?A．笑话B．悲剧C．谜团12．How does the writer develop his/her idea in this text?A．By giving examples.B．By listing numbers.C．By raising questions.13．What is the main purpose of the text?A．To explain why the world’s population ages.B．To encourage different generations to learn from each other.C．To show that older generations’ ways of thinking are incorrect.（2023·浙江·统考中考真题）Roger Federer, a world-famous sports star, quit(放弃) the 2020 Olympic Games to deal with his knee problem. It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter. But finding the courage to let go can be good for you.Nothing is fun all the time. Sticking at something difficult teaches us important skills like perseverance(毅力). However, learning to let go when things aren’t right is important too. Maybe your heart isn’t in playing the piano any more, or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead. Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy. In fact, studies show that letting go of goals you can’t reach, or don’t really want, can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life.But how can you know it’s time to stop and move on? Eric Bean is an expert in sports psychology(心理学) who helps athletes and teams understand their feelings. He says, “Quitting is never a matter of black and white.” He suggests thinking carefully about why you aren’t enjoying something any more. Is it because you’ve argued with a teammate or can’t get on with a new art teacher? Talk about this with a trusted adult or friend. That can help you decide whether you should stay and stick, or quit and move on.Quitting doesn’t have to mean totally giving up, though. For example, playing an instrument might be more fun if you take away the pressure of exams.

Perhaps your best friend receives something you really want, or you’re not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are common and can sometimes be helpful, focusing(专注) on your own progress is important for your happiness.“We often compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves.” says Dr. Jack. “But I suggest comparing yourself to your past self and your future self. This can make you feel proud of what you’ve achieved and excited about what you might do. Focusing on your own purposes is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top.”Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing it. It can help us to be clear about our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it’s important to remember that nobody is perfect in real life. It’s also important to take note of how the comparison is making you feel. “If you begin to feel quite low, focus on your own strengths.” says Jack. In other words, you can ask yourself questions like “What can I do well in?”, which can help you trust yourself.Maybe here you are wondering “What if all my friends are better than me?”. Dr. White says that jealousy(妒忌) is not bad but focusing on bettering your own work can help you feel just as successful. He also mentions that learning to celebrate your friends’ success can not only help to cheer your friends up but also help you feel good. It will encourage you to build each other up.18．What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 1?A．We should compare with others.B．We should share things with brothers.C．We should enjoy concerts with sisters.D．We should focus on our own progress.19．Why should you compare yourself to your past self?A．To care about others.B．To change your purposes.C．To increase your excitement.D．To be proud of your achievements.20．What does the underlined phrase “your own strengths” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A．what you’re good at B．what you’ve understoodC．what you’re crazy about D．what you’ve experienced21．What does Dr. White suggest?A．Trusting your friends.B．Cheering on tiny success.C．Celebrating others’ success.D．Forming a deep friendship.22．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Plan Your Own Future B．Enjoy Your Own HappinessC．Run Your Own Race D．Follow Your Own Dream（2022·山东菏泽·中考真题）They say once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learnt when we were kids, and many still shoot off for a ride around the streets. In recent times, cycling has seen a rise in popularity, so the question is: what makes it so popular to people to ride their bikes once again?First, let’s look at the good for health. Cycling can improve your health and burn extra body fat. Exercising your legs helps to increase your strength. And cycling’s good isn’t just physical, but mental(精神的) as well. A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind, or lower your worry. But it’s not only about your body and mind, there are also some good sides for your wallet’s(钱包) health.Cycling can be a great way to go to work or go around town. By cycling, you save money instead of driving a car or taking a bus. If you drive to work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a very difficult thing. However, finding somewhere to lock your bike can be much simpler. Then, on the bus, there are changes at stations and other passengers speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. Cyclists face neither of these problems. And if you’re worried about safety, there are special cycle ways in many big cities. Wearing high-visibility(高能见度) clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment. It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint(碳足迹). Not giving gases out into the air is better for the planet and your own environment.So, whether people want to cycle for their health, going around town, their wallet, the environment, or a combination(结合) of all of them, the popularity of cycling is on the rise.23．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To explain a reason.B．To raise a question.C．To give an example.24．What is the meaning of “wallet's health” in Paragraph 2?A．Cycling saves money.B．Cycling wastes money.C．Cycling keeps your wallet safe.25．Why is cycling good for the environment?A．It burns extra body fat.B．It is easy to lock a bicycle.C．It helps reduce carbon footprint.26．What is the passage mainly about?A．Cycling for physical health.B．Cycling for safety on the road.C．The growing popularity of cycling.（2022·湖南永州·统考中考真题）On August 30, 2021, the Chinese government announced that kids would not be allowed to play online games Mondays to Thursdays. On weekends and holidays, kids would be limited(限制) to an hour a day of online gaming. “Recently, many parents have reported that playing games crazily among some youths and children is seriously harming their normal study, life and health.” the Chinese government said online. This news got us thinking. Should the government be responsible for limiting how much time kids spend online? Here are some students’opinions.Esme McNeely, 11The government should not set screen-time limits. That decision should be up to parents. Some children need to use screens for homework. And during the COVID-19, one of the only ways to talk to friends was online. Government limits would not be fair to people who are careful with their screen time.Lucas Barone, 11The government should not limit screen time. A 2021 study from the University of Colorado Boulder says screen time might be less harmful to kids than people think. Some parents worry that children online too much won’t make friends. But the study reports that screen time can actually improve kids’friendships. In fact, screen time can be educational. I use websites to read and to learn math.Xiuhan Zhu, 9I think the government should take action and limit screen time for kids. Too much screen time can lead to tiredness and less social time. People who use smartphones are more likely to get into car accidents. Electrical products like computers can also be harmful for kids. If kids aren’t careful with the websites they use, criminals can get important information.Ning Li, 10Most people spend too much time on their phones and TVs. They hurt their eyes and waste their time. And watching a lot of TV or playing games can influence kids’ learning and social skills. If the government limited screen time, people would be encouraged to spend more time with their family. They might join a sports team in their neighborhood.27．When are kids allowed to play online games for an hour a day?A．On Mondays.B．On Wednesday.C．On weekends.28．Who is against screen-time limits?A．Esme McNeely.B．Xiuhan Zhu.C．Ning Li.29．What does the study from he University of Colorado Boulder show?A．Screen time might do no harm to kids.B．Screen time can improve kids’ friendships.C．Screen time won’t help kids make friends.30．What are Ning Li’s opinions about screen-time limits?A．Too much screen time can lead to tiredness.B．Criminals can get important information easily.C．People are encouraged to spend more time with their family.31．What is the article mainly about?A．Screen time can be educational.B．Screen time can lead to less social time.C．Whether the government should set screen-time limits.（2021·内蒙古呼和浩特·统考中考真题）It’s long been a scientific dream: to give people a special vaccine before birth to prevent them from getting terrible illnesses. Gene editing (基因编辑) is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some discussion.In an online video posted on Nov. 26, 2018, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies.The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV. The twins’ genes were edited in order to prevent them from suffering from the HIV virus.He said he chose to do this because HIV is widespread in China. “I feel such a strong duty not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example,” he told AP.But his actions caused many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical to use it on humans.Some believe that gene editing could be useful to HIV patients. HIV is “a large and growing public health problem”, according to Harvard Medical School genetic professor George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “a good idea”, Church told AP.However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental periods and could result in terrible changes. “It could cause genetic problems later in life, including the development of cancer,” Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News.Others fear that people might use gene editing technology to make “designer (设计的) babies”. It would giveparents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye colour to their IQ.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater unfairness than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics told BBC News.32．What do we know about He Jiankui?A．He was the first person to edit genes.B．He made the twins suffer from HIV when he edited their genes.C．He made the world’s first genetically edited babies.D．He was the first person whose genes were edited.33．Who agreed that gene editing could be helpful to HIV patients?A．George Church.B．Julian Savulescu.C．Marcy Darnovsky.D．Chinese researchers.34．The underlined word “ethical” in the passage probably means “________”.A．合乎常情的B．道德的C．有价值的D．有效的35．According to the story, we know that gene editing ________.A．is supported by the writer B．is good for wealthy peopleC．causes some heated argument D．has been used widely in the UK36．What does “designer babies” mean in the passage?A．Parents can change their baby’s eye colour.B．Parents are able to choose their baby’s height.C．Parents can give their baby everything that he or she likes.D．Parents have a chance to prevent their baby from suffering from the virus.（2021·江苏泰州·统考中考真题）Just the other day, I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to make friends with foreigners. As a Canadian living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer giving on this matter.One piece of advice really caught my attention and, I must say, made me feel quite angry. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an "opportunity (机会)" to improve your oral English; whenever you see a foreigner, American or English, you should practise speaking English with him or her. If the foreigner doesn’t want toanswer your questions, then he or she is a rude person who you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I think this advice is not only incorrect, but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China.Like most other "Lao Wai" living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from our own familiar (熟悉的) ways. However, I simply accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been rewarding. I have improved my Chinese language skills, learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.However, I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an "opportunity" to improve their oral English. I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me to teach them English. I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation.I have had people asking me non-stop questions for half an hour at the weekly English Corner ...Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone whose company (陪伴) they really enjoy. So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not opportunities. Expect to make friendships step by step, over a period of time, not in a rush. ________ If your only reason for becoming fiends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will probably find that you don’t have a foreign friend for long.37．Where is the writer of this passage from?A．America B．China C．Canada D．England38．Why is the writer of the passage interested in the book "H ow to make friends with foreigners"?A．Because he wants to have some more close Chinese Friends.B．Because he has greatly improved his Chinese language skills,C．Because no Chinese people would like to make friends with him.D．Because he wants to know about the Chinese writer’s advice on this topic.39．According to the writer of the book "How to make friends with foreigners", ________.A．his advice may make foreigners angryB．it is rude of you to ask a foreigner questionsC．you should choose a good foreigner to practise English withD．don’t waste time on a foreigner who doesn’t answer your questions40．In the fourth paragraph, the writer uses "I have had…" three times, because ________.A．he had no better sentences to express his ideas.B．he wanted to show how he hated to make friends with Chinese.C．he wanted to show how he hated to be treated as an “opportunity”.D．he met Chinese who wanted to make friends with him only three times.41．Which sentence may be the best to fill in the "________" in the last paragraph?A．True friendships stand (经得起) the test of time.B．Learn about different cultures to make real friends.C．Friends are about opportunities or personal advantages.D．There’s real friendship between people from different countries.（2020·浙江衢州·统考中考真题）On a June afternoon in 1752, the sky began to get dark over the city. As the storm broke, most people surely hurried inside, but not Benjamin Franklin. He decided it was the perfect time to fly a kite. Franklin had been waiting for a chance like this. He wanted to show the connection between lightning(闪电) and electricity, and to do so, he needed a storm.He walked into field, and flew a kite with a piece of rope tied to it. A key was tied to the rope. The lightning hit the kite, and electricity passed through the rope to the key. Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock(电击). This, he said, proved(证明) the electrical nature of lightning.For many years, schools have taught the story of Franklin’s experiment. Millions of schoolchildren have been amazed by his courage and his scientific spirit of looking for the truth. However, new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact. Although Franklin’s experiment took place, more than one scientist has questioned what really happened. It’s true that he did the experiment with the rope and the key. But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key, he would certainly have died from the electric shock.Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to find out the facts. Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton’s head. Many reports suggest that although the falling apple certainly provided ideas, there is nothing to show that the apple actually hit him on the head.In fact, fiction is often more interesting than the truth. People have been more encouraged by Franklin’s spirit than by the facts themselves. But in science, facts should be tested by experiments and research, and we should not always believe everything we read or hear even if it is a great story.42．Franklin did the experiment in order to prove ________.A．he was an excellent scientistB．flying a kite in the storm was safeC．he was not afraid of lightningD．lightning was a form of electricity43．The underlined word “fiction” probably means something ________.A．not trueB．quite differentC．not safeD．quite necessary44．Some scientists questioned whether Franklin ________ in the experiment.A．flew a kiteB．touched the keyC．was presentD．discovered electricity45．The purpose of the passage is to tell us ________.A．Franklin’s spirit is encouragingB．fiction is more interesting than the truthC．Franklin’s experiment is not realD．we shouldn’t always believe accepted ideas（2020·内蒙古鄂尔多斯·统考中考真题）When Chinese people talk about the mouse, they are likely it as greedy and dishonest. It mainly comes from a Chinese folk story about the cat and the mouse.One day, the mouse and the cat made an appointment to attend a competition held by the Jade Emperor. It would decide the zodiac animals. However, the mouse did not wake the cat up and at last won by riding on the ox’s back. So the mouse ranked first on the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, and because of that, people think the mouse betrayed his friend.Probably not! Human culture is funny. There are always different ways to look at the same thing.In another folk story, people treated the mouse as a great hero. It's said that the mouse created the world by taking a bite of heaven, bringing light to humans. It helped people survive by stealing firewood and grain seeds （种子）. As a result, many people respect the mouse by offering food and praying for success.Since mice live together in societies and have many babies with a high survival rate, the also represent cooperation（合作）and reproduction.

It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly. People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have di fficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some peop le’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts（白内障）. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.When night falls, colours become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you can see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Menon guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can’t see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.1. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ___.A. we think about our eyesB. we cannot see clearlyC. we wear glassesD. we have to do much reading2. According to the passage, a _________ is more likely to be nearsighted than the average person.A. tailorB. doctorC. guardD. driver3. Those who suffer from cataracts _________.A. will become blindB. can’t be curedC. may be curedD. must move to other places4. People who are farsighted _________.A. cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB. can only see things that are very close to their eyesC. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s lengthD. have the same problem as the nearsighted people5. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look _________.A. with wide open eyesB. with half-shut or narrow eyesC. straight at itD. in a slightly different direction参考答案1－5 BACAD【能力选练】 CHi, dear boys and girls!

There are so many different kinds of museums and you first need to find one that you like. It's easy for you to choose one and start an enjoyable visit!Do some research online. Every museum now has a website which allows you to look through the information about it. On the website, you may look for such things as: ●The exhibits — See what is on show at the museum at all times, and what special exhibitions are held for a short time.●The history of the museum — There will often be very interesting stories about the exhibits and the benefactors(捐赠者). That can make your visit more interesting.●Activities — See whether there are talks, tours or special activities on the day when you visit. Many museums hold some activities that meet the interests of all age groups.●Cost，food or storage — It's important to know how much the visit will cost. You have to decide whether or not you can eat there. You might also need to find out transportation needs, as well as storage for coats, bags, etc.Learn at least one thing on your visit. It is always good to take away something new from your visit.Plan breaks into your visit. When you walk around, standing here and studying exhibits there, you may become very tired. So it is important to take breaks. A break is a good opportunity for you to think of what you have seen and what else you might want to do in the museum.Take a friend or two.

B(2019江苏连云港)Then Alice saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it up and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn’t open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.‘ Oh, how beautiful!’ she said. ‘ I’d love to go there but I’m too big to get through the door.’She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now.‘ I’m sure that bottle wasn’t there before，’ she said, a little confused.She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words “DRINK ME” on it. Alice wasn’t a stupid girl. She didn’t drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn’t a label on it that said “POISON”.So she put the bottle to her lips and drank.‘ Mmm，it’s nice，’ she said, it t asted like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast—all the things that she liked to cat—so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty.‘What a curious feeling，’ she said. I’m getting smaller and smaller.’ It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah.‘Good! I can go through the door into the garden,’ she said. But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn’t have the key! It was on the table. She couldn’t reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.Af ter a while she said, ‘Alice!’ ‘Stop crying! Crying doesn’t help! Dry your tears immediately!’When she looked at the table again，she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words “EAT ME” on it. She put a small piece of it in her mouth.‘If I grow bigger I can reach the key,’ she thought. ‘And if I grow smaller I can go under the door.’But nothing happened so she finished it.34.

浙江中考英语阅读理解一：Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents shout it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my proble ms in the future!” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解决) them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to.
