I realized that it was a small mistake which was 4 by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her 5 thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house 6 my mother could stop me.Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, “See what your son has done.” Instead of saying he would scold(责备) or beat me, my father 7 asked my mother to mend the vest.Later when my mother told me about my father’s response(反应), I felt terribly sorry for my bad behavior(行为). My father’s gentle kindness taught me a lesson which I would 8 forget.On that day, I decided not to let anger 9 me any longer. Of course, there are times when I am angry.

So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn’t her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated home assistant powered by AI (人工智能). And it made Brooke’s wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents’ surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that’s not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备) in many listeners’ homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!Alexa isn’t the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom(增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?▲.You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, or driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.But voice shopping has its disad vantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren’t the biggest problem. It’s usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing that worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people’s shopping habits? A nd what if someone hacks(入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?11.From the passage, we know that Alexa . ( )A.can look after the babyB.can cook delicious foodC.is a toy doll sold onlineD.is one kind of AI device12.The underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 2 probably means . ( )A.unusualB.expensiveC.harmfulD.impossible13.Which of the following is the best to fill in the “▲” in Paragraph 3? ( )A.Convenience is the main advantage of voice shoppingB.The cost of voice shopping is lower than other waysC.The popularity of voice shopping is increasingD.The technology of voice shopping needs improving14.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that when people try voice shopping. ( )A.AI sometimes forgets people’s ordersB.personal information might be hackedC.it’s difficult to cancel or return productsD.the needs for products can’t be satisfied15.This article is probably taken from .( )A.a novelB.a guide bookC.an advertisementD.a science and technology magazinePassage 2It’s not WASTE until it is WASTED!With the World Environment Day coming,our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste.Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colours of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish.The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled; the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste.The followings are some instructions for you.Glass:Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles.Warning:Mirrors and light bulbs must not be included in the glass waste.Paper:Newspapers,magazines,boxes must be clean enough to be recycled.Warning:Paper tissues and wallpaper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately.PMD waste:Packaging made of plastic or metal and drink boxes are used to make new packaging.Warning:Plastic pots (e.g.yoghurt pots), plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste.Harmful waste:out-of-date drugs, used batteries(电池), paint and oil…Besides,if you don’t need your old bikes any more, our school volunte ers will collect them.We’re going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don’t have enough money for a bike.To find out more about recycling, you can visit our school website.根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

2020中考英语时文阅读训练——新冠肺炎肆虐让野生动物背锅
COVID-19 could cut wildlife trade新冠肺炎肆虐让野生动物背锅Conservation experts are saying that the trade in wildlife could be greatly cut after the coronavirus pandemic has finished. They say that the virus probably started at a market selling wild animals in China. The virus came from either a bat or an animal called a pangolin. It then crossed over to infect humans. The conservation group Humane Society International said: "The consumption of wild animals which can carry diseases that can cross the species barrier poses a real threat to human health." The Wildlife Conservation Society called for a ban of animal markets that trade in wildlife. It said: "Not only will this help to prevent the spread of disease, it will address one of the major drivers of species extinction."A spokesman from the Zoological Society of London said animal markets could be "time bombs". He said the markets can provide perfect conditions for new viruses to start and grow. He added that if we treated animals like goods to buy and sell, we would be in trouble again in the future. Scientists say many new outbreaks of viruses start in animals. About 75 percent of new infectious diseases come from animals. Recent examples include SARS, MERS and Ebola. Infections from animals cause millions of illnesses and deaths worldwide every year.

The students who carried 7 potatoes began to get unsatisfied with the heavy bags.One week later, the game 8 .

Children might say that a year lasts forever. But your parents might say that a whole year can pass “in the blink of an eye”. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?According to scientists from Duke University, our brains degrade(退化)and change over time. This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and deal with new information to fall down.Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than grown-ups because they’re dealing with images at a faster rate, Adrian Bejan from the university told the Daily Mail. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time. However, as people’s brains degrade over time, fewer images are dealt with in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as if they’re happening more quickly.What’s more, people may also “feel” time differently due to psychological(心理的) reasons. People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled(回忆) within a certain period.Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts(first day of school, first family vacation, first birthday party, etc.)? They seem to be in slow motion. That’s because when something is a “first”, there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever, according to David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine in the US.For many grown-ups, life is made up of daily things. When they look back, they might feel like there are not many interesting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.1.The phrase “in the blink of an eye” has the similar meaning to “”.( )A. carefullyB.directlyC.slowlyD.quickly2.Time seems to pass faster as we get older because . ( )A. human brains become smaller and smaller over timeB.grown-ups often forget things easily and quicklyC.grown-ups don’t deal with information as quickly as babiesD.grown-ups are able to do a lot of things in a single day3.What can we know according to David Eagleman? ( )A. Babies move their eyes much more often than grown-ups.B.Psychological factors can affect how a person feels about time.C.Recalling memories makes people feel like time is going faster.D.Memorable events can slow down the pace of brain degradation.4.The author writes this article to . ( )A. explain why people feel time differently as they get oldB.explain why babies learn things faster than grown-upsC.encourage people to make better use of their timeD.encourage people to create more memorable memoriesⅢ. 选词填空阅读下列短文,用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空。

By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30—an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. To this end, we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their homework. We sign them up for dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kids to take honors courses(培优课程)or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievements.However, the irony is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colourful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important. We have to start taking sleep seriously.Parents make bedtime routines and carry out strict rules about night time. But in fact,these measures aren’t enough because getting our kids enough sleep isn’t just about carrying out stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need, both parents and schools should make an effort.11.From the passage we know the writer’s son .( )A.isn’t good at sportsB.wastes time every nightC.can’t get enough sleepD.always hangs out with friends12.What does the underlined word “irony” mean in Chinese?

Testing the road with his bamboo pole, the blind man was walking very slowly towards the road we were going in.I talked with my friend as we were walking.I told him about my five job-hoppings(换工作) within two years and the experiences I was still going through in the plight(困境) now.My friend nodded and smiled, but he kept silent all along. After a while, I occasionally looked back and found the blind man had disappeared.“Where is the blind man?” I asked.“He has walked so far!” said my friend with a smile.“How can a blind man walk much faster than us?It’s strange!” I exclaimed(惊叫).“How impossible? W e looked in all directions and walked half-heartedly while he was walking whole-heartedly,” said my friend.I was shocked to hear this.What a simple but profound (深刻的) truth!

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习(含答案)
2020中考英语大阅读组合练有答案一、阅读理解AGetting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rain damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, according to the researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.()1、What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light.D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.()2、The underlined word “cables” means “______”in Chinese.A. 电报B.电缆C. 电话D. 网线()3、What is true about the Plant Lamp?A. It can be made by local people.B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.C. It can produce all the electricity the villagers need.D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.()4、The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be the most helpful for ______.A. small rainforest communitiesB. carsC. poor people in citiesD. farmers()15、What is the purpose of the passage?A. To report on a new invention.B. To explain a new scientific theory.C. To describe how electricity is made.D. To discuss the problems of poor villages. B(民族风情及节日文化)We never had children of our own—just The White Prince—and I can tell you,he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would,and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it: but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can't teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly,and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom,no matter(无论) how often Bertie asked. You know,I have to draw the line somewhere.Bertie's leg was never cured. When it was bad,he often needed a stick,or me,or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot,especially on cold and wet days,and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together,and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites. You know,I've always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.The lion never showed any interest in running away,and even if he'd wanted to,the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went,he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car,then he'd sit by me in the kitchen,and watch me with those great amber eyes,listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house.The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet. When he died,we buried(埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case(以防) he forgot where the lion was. “I will,but he should get more than a tree,” Bertie said.Bertie was sad for weeks,months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room,or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself,so distant(遥远的). Try as I did,I could not reach him.…(Adapted from The Butterfly Lion)( )1. What did Bertie's wife mean by saying “I have to draw the line somewhere”?A. She would like the lion to sit by her.B. She didn't except Bertie to keep the lion.C. She didn't allow the lion to go into the bedroom.D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park.( )2. Which description about the lion is TRUE according to the story?A. He seldom broke kites into pieces.B. He could jump over the park wall.C. He became weak in his legs and eyes.D. He could kill deer or rabbits for himself.( )3. What can be inferred(推断) from the story?A. Bertie's leg was badly hurt by the lion.B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie's family.C. Bertie's wife would plant a tree for the lion.D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did.( )4. The story is mainly about ________.A. Bertie and his wife—the owners of the lionB. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lionC. the habits that the lion formed in Bertie's familyD. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wife二、任务型阅读Dear Annie,I’ve never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing. I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself, 1..Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess. And that’s why I’m writing this letter to you.I have a happy family. I love my children and they love me. I’m a mother of three children.

He chats with people that he has never met before, 3.. He does lots of meaningless things on the Internet. And he sees red(大怒) if you ask him to do his homework.I just want him to be a good student. Now he seldom does his lessons at home. I’m afraid he will drop behind in his class soon. His father is a doctor, a very kind man. 4..What can I do? And don’t tell to talk to him.

时文阅读训练——纽约公用电话的终结The end of New York's pay phonesThe end is coming for New York's public pay phones. New York City officials say workers are currently removing all public pay phones from the city's streets. Pay phones used to be everywhere in the city - on every street corner and in every park and public place. Engineers have started the removal work by taking away 30 pay phones from the Hell's Kitchen area of the city. In the coming months, the remaining phones will go. New York City spokesman Corey Johnson told the CNN news agency that: "The antiquated and outdated pay phone booths take up much needed sidewalk space. Removing these booths is a win for pedestrians who navigate these crowded blocks."Many New Yorkers probably won't even notice the phones are going. Most younger people have never used one. They may have to read the instructions to use a phone, and scramble for coins to feed it. Modern technology means the public phone is no longer needed. Over 95 percent of Americans have a mobile phone. Mr Corey said New Yorkers no longer want the phones. He said: "My office has received numerous community complaints from local residents about these antiquated pay phones, which present public safety and quality of lifeissues. Additionally, they take up sorely needed sidewalk space that could better serve people with disabilities and families with strollers."

速测(一) 完形填空+阅读理解C+选词填空+任务型阅读(限时:30分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his reply shocked me. “What’s a colander(漏勺)?” he asked. I could only blame(责备)1. In the family, nobody else went into the kitchen except me. But that night, as I 2to him that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t 3Ray for.As parents, while we focus on our children’s confidence and characters, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are 4raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands,or fathers.5I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was 6to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.I knew that he would rather have been playing basketball with his friends than 7to mend socks with his mother, but in fact he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do 8 a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now realizes there’s 9masculine(男子气概的)about being helpless.Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s 10I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter in-law.()1.A. themselves B.ourselves C.myself D.himself()2.A. explained B.continued C.thought D.advised()3.A. planned B.prepared C.produced D.punished()4.A. even B.also C.still D.either()5.A.

However, not everyone is a fan of them. On Sept. 6, an article described some male stars as too effeminate.This came after CCTV was criticized for inviting several young male stars to perform on First Class for the New Semester,an educational TV show for primary and secondary school students. After that, many parents left comments online, saying the stars in the show had a bad influence on their children.The popularity of effeminate male stars is partly down to the Japanese and South Korean pop culture, an expert told China Daily. However, the “femininity” of males isn’t a recent social phenomenon. In fact, being effeminate was popular among Chinese men centuries ago.Indeed, the debate about effeminate male stars has been going on for a while. In July, a Hong Kong singer said that he feels tired of seeing effeminate male stars during the singing reality show Sing! China. “It isn’t that they’re not good, but we should discover ourselves,” He said during the show. His opinion was shared by a Chinese director. “Some young actors are feminine and they should be more manly,” he said.Deng Xiquan, head of the Youth Research Institute at the China Youth and Children Research Center, believes such a phenomenon is completely natural.“It will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine beauty, this doesn’t mean that he lacks responsibility,” Deng told China Daily. Deng’s opinion was echoed by the People’s Daily.“A man’s strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities—not their physical appearance,” it wrote.1.From the third paragraph, we can know that .()A. the popularity of effeminacy appeared in Japan firstB.young, effeminate male stars are not popular in South KoreaC.in China, being effeminate was popular hundreds of years agoD.Chinese experts don’t think effeminate male stars are popular2.Which of the following is TRUE about the Hong Kong singer?()A. He doesn’t like effeminate male stars.B.He thinks some young actors are more manly.C.He doesn’t know anything about Sing! China.D.He asks women to discover themselves.3.The underlined word “echoed” means“” in Chinese. ()A. 利用B.附和C.质疑D.声明4.What’s the passage mainly about?()A. “Feminine” men cause hot debates.B.The time being effeminate appeared.C.The way to become effeminate men.D.People criticize effeminate men.Ⅲ. 选词填空阅读下列短文,用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空。

He had no other skills and his boss (老板) was very nice, so he worked for his boss one year after another. After 10 years of working for the same company, he finally got fed up with it and decided to quit (辞职). He wanted to try something new.However, after hearing this, his boss asked him to help with one final job before he left the team. He asked him to build one final house. Although the carpenter didn’t want to do this kind of work anymore, he still agreed. He built the house, but his heart wasn’t in it. He used cheap materials (材料) and rushed to finish the job quickly. It turned out to be the worst house that he had ever built.?When he finished, his boss came to see him one last time. Seeing the house, he said nothing. He paid the worker for building the house. He then said, “I wanted to do something special for you to say thanks for your 10 years of hard work. You know, you have built so many beautiful and grand (宏伟的) houses for other people these years but not one for yourself ... so I’m giving you this house as a gift.”Surprised, the carpenter was speechless. What a shame! He had never thought his boss would give him such a big gift.? If he knew he was building his own house, he would have done it much differently. He regretted building his final house so poorly.?( )1.
