九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第（一）篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2. What does the under lined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?A. 名B. 姓氏C. 字D. 昵称3. Why did people call each other by their courtesy names in social life?A. To show their love.B.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.”1. The violin performance made people feel __________.A. regret, hope and lightB. fear, warmth and hopeC. warmth, hope and lightD. pity, warmth and light2.

Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.4. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. keep onB. end upC. take pride inD. look forward to5. Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第（四）篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1. When did the erhu become a popular instrument?A. In the Tang Dynasty.B. In the Song Dynasty.C. In the Ming Dynasty.D. In recent years.2.

The passage mainly talks about ________.A. the forms of folk musicB. the history of the erhuC. the rise of different dynastiesD. the development of Chinese instruments第（五）篇Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—aletter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标) high.When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best. Finally, your dream will come true.”Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field.1. What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday?A. A letter.B.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

Where may you read the article?A.In Chinese textbooksB. In fashion magazinesC. In history booksD. In geographical newspapers第（八）篇During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitche n of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.1. The workers in Bach’s Bakery use sign language because ________.A. their boss doesn’t allow them to talkB. machines make too much noiseC. they can’t communicate in spoken wordsD. heavy work keeps them too busy to speak2.

In Uwe’s opinion, the greatest value of public attention is that ________.A. disabled workers are paid moreB. his shop becomes more popularC. the disabled are better understoodD. sales of their products get stronger5. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第（九）篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第（十）篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character. His mother had given up her job when she married. When Steven was six, his father took him to Philadelphia to see his first film, The Greatest Show on Earth. Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen. Part of him felt disappointed that he couldn’t smell the sawdust (锯木) and gunpowder.When Steven was twelve, his parents bought an 8mm Kodak movie camera. Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America. Films such as Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind succeed because they are about ordinary people.After all the years Steven Spielberg had spent dreaming about getting into Hollywood.

He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot (飞行员) because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he willcertainly be the first to die in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’ m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesti ng life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight (飞行) across the Channel. Ten kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the waterand began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette (香烟). Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud.

译林版中考英语阅读理解10篇精品资料一、短文填空一Hundreds of years ago, a native（土著的） American chief named Shenandoah lived with his people in what is now the state of Virginia. Very l 1 is known about Shenandoah, but the soft sound of his name was given to a river. The Shenandoah River still runs in a deep valley（山谷）between the mountains in West Virginia, just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived. There is an old s 2 which tells how the river got its name.A long time ago, many c 3 before Europeans went to live in America, there was a great lake hidden in the mountains of Virginia. For hundreds of years, the native Americans lived near this lake, feeding on the f 4 they caught in its clean water. They often climbed up the mountains and made camp there d 5 their long hunt for food. In the evenings they sat near their camps and looked d 6 at the beautiful lake. On a clear,starry night you could see thousands of starss___7___and dancing on the water below. The native Americans loved this lake, and because they could see the stars in it, they called the lake "Clear daughter of thestars". In their l 8 the word for this was "Shenandoah". One day there was a loud crash at one end of the lake. The lake began to disappear. Its water r 9 out of the valley through a break in the mountain side. The water ran on and on until they j 10 another river, which today is known as the Potomac River.At last, the lake was gone. In its place was only a river. The lake is gone, but the beautiful Shenandoah River runs on.1._______2._______3._______4._______5._______6._______7._______8._______9._______ 10._______二There is a famous expression in English,"Stop the word,I want to get off!"This expression m1 a feeling of fear or stress, which makes a person want to stop whatever he/she is doing, try to relax, and become calm about the work or personal life. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in m 2 life. Too much stress leads to physical, emotional, and mental（精神的）health problems. There are many physical effects of stress which can affect （影响） the heart. It can cause high blood pressure. Stress can l 3 to asthma（哮喘）, which can cause a personto breathe too fast Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches. These are only a few e 4 of illnesses resulting from stress.Emotions are also easily i 5 by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a kind mother under a lot of stress at work may s___6 at a child for dropping a glass of juice.Suffering from stress for a long time can lead to s____7___ mental illnesses. Depression, a very strong feeling of s 8 and hopelessness, can be the result of stress. Eating disorders are sometimes c 9 by stress and are often made worse by stress.

In recent years, micro plastics have been found almost everywhere, from the North Pole to Antarctica（南极洲）, from the top of the earth's tallest mountain to the deepest point in the sea.In a study led by a group called Ocean Wise, researchers made four trips across the Arctic Ocean. They took 71 samples （样本） from between 10 leet and 26 feet（3~8 metres） below the ocean's surface. They took 26 more samples, some from more than 0.6 miles （1 kilometre）below the surface.They found micro plastics in all but one of the 97 samples taken, with an average of about 40 micro plastic particles （颗粒） in every cubic（立方的） metre. In the study, the scientists used a tool based on infrared light-a kind oflight that humans are unable to see. This tool allowed them to figure out not just which bits were plastic, but exactly what kind of plastic they were.Over 92% of the micro plastics found were small threads, called microfibres（超细纤维）. About 73% of these fibres were made of a plastic known as polyester（聚酯）. The researchers looked into the size and colour of the fibres and found they matched polyester used in clothing.The study found far more micro fibres near the Atlantic side of the Arctic Ocean than near the Pacific side. The fibres on the Atlantic side were also newer. The team believes this suggests that the fibres come from Europe and North America. Peter Ross, who led the research, said,"With these polyester fibres, we've created a cloud throughout the world's oceans. "Most samples were taken from an ocean layer（表层） where lots of sea life finds food. The scientists believe this means that many kinds of sea life, from the smallest to the largest, are likely to be affected by the pollution.So how do these micro fibres get into the sea They breakoff when clothes are washed and are emptied into sewers（下水道） as washing machines drain（排水）. Another studysuggested that laundry （洗衣） from the US and Canada carries around 3,500,000 kilograms of plastic micro fibres into the sea every year.One way to avoid sending so much plastic into the sea is to reduce mar-made materials, especially those that easily break down into microfibres. Washing clothes less oftenwill also help. There are also Special filters（过滤器）for washing machines which help prevent micro fibres from escaping. Currently, people have to buy these filters and add them to their washing machines. If every washing machine came with such a filter built-in, it could make a big difference.（）1. What do we know about the study led by Ocean WiseA. A total of 96 samples contained（包含） micro plastics.B. The samples were collected from different oceans.C. Half of the collected micro plastics were micro fibres.D. Almost all of the micro fibres came from North America. （）2. Why did the researchers study the size and colour of the micro fibresA. To find a way to solve the problem of micro plastics.B. To see what harm they did to the ocean.C. To design new types of tools.D. To know their sources.（）3. What is a solution to the problem mentioned in the textA. Washing clothes by hand.B. Making large washing machines.C. Using natural materials to make clothes.D. Cleaning clothes with certain chemicals（化学品） in water.（）4. What might be the best title for the textA. How pollution affects life in the seaB. Micro plastics are increasing in our livesC. How to protect the oceans and sea animalsD. The Arctic Ocean is polluted with micro plastic fibres BLike most people, you usually start work with the hope of being as productive as possible. Yet, as time goes by, you find your task list grows. What you set out to achieve in the beginning seems to get pushed to the side.You're not alone.Many of us don’t have a process to prioritize tasks and always i eel like we're playing catch-up. We fail to decide what the most important task is evenwhen everything on the to-do list seems important. But we can get ahead and stay on top of dead in es with some simple methods of setting priorities and managing our workload.Here's a simple way to prioritize our dally tasks and focus （专注） on the work that matters most:Of all the things we now have energy for, do the thing we re normally least likely to do. If we have some live frogs（青蛙）to eat for breakfast, the idea is to eat the ugliest one as early as possible.There are several ways this trick（技巧） can benefit us. Doing something we rarely（很少）do is energizing. You do a thing like washing your windows that you never do. Having clean windows won't change your life but it challenges your conception of yourself. It influences how we see ourselves. Getting our body moving gives us energy and can improve our focus.Unfamiliar things often provide more chances to help us grow than familiar ones. When I write for a new publication, it's with a new editor. I get different Ie ed back. I need to change my style to match the style of that publication, so I develop my skills. In this way we'llexpand（发展） ourselves, our skills, and our future opportunities.Some people react to anxiety by working hard on very comfortable things instead of paying attention to uncomfortable tasks that are a higher priority. The way of prioritizing helps prevent us from doing that. It makes it harder to fool ourselves that we re being productive by doing busywork that's super comfortable for us but haslittle chance of changing our life.Should we use this trick all the time No. This is a goodtip for the time when we’ve got energy, but we re swimming in thoughts about all the things we can do, and we re having trouble deciding and focusing.Priorities are great. Knowing our priorities reduces stress, helps us focus and can also improve productivity and time management. But remember to be realistic about how much work we can actually do each day. When we prioritize our work properly, we re sure to have a good day.（）1. What does the underlined word "prioritize" in Paragraph 2 probably meanA. To explain what the most beneficial thing is.B. To decide what should be done first.C. To tell what the most meaningful thing is.D. To discuss what can be achieved.（）2. The ugliest frog refers to _____.A. the animal we fear mostB. the to-do list we've messed upC. the thing we are least likely to doD.the thing that makes our day terrible（）3. What can we learn from the passageA. Doing unfamiliar things possibly improves our skills.B. Doing energizing things shows how we see others.C. Doing things we rarely do leads to the poor focus.D. Doing comfortable things changes our life.（）4. What is the passage mainly aboutA. A solution to reduce our stress.B. Ways to help us focus and decide.C.A trick of increasing our productivity.D.Advantages of developing our skills.CResearchers have reported on new ways to break down plastic. The studies could lead to easier high-quality（高质量的） recycling,and help deal with toxic（有毒的）plastic pollution.The world is being covered by plastic, but only about 9% of plastic products are ever recycled.Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic finds its way into theworld's oceans. But bacteria （细菌）may help recycle plastic, even when humans don't.Bacteria are small living things-so small that we need a microscope（显微镜）to see them.Bacteria feed themselves in many different ways. Some bacteria can "eat" other things by changing the chemicalsin those things into something that will help the bacteria grow.The secret to this is enzymes（酶）. Bacteria use enzymes to cause chemical changes. Enzymes can work like a pair of scissors, cutting and breaking apart other materials.Most people know PET plastic. It is used in water and soda bottles. About 63.5 billion kilograms of PET plastic is produced every year. Most PET is thrown away, but even when it is recycled, it can't be made into new bottles. Usually it's turned into products like carpets（地毯）.Years ago, in the decaying（腐烂的） leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly breaks down PET plastic. Years later, scientists working at the Frenchcompany Car bios chose LCC from nearly 100,000 enzymes. It was the best at breaking down PET.But the scientists wanted to improve LCC. They studied the enzyme and the way it at take d the PET. By testing thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they came up with a new kind of LCC.The new kind can be alive at higher temperatures and can eat through PET very quickly.The process turns the PET plastic back into the materials that it was made from.Those materials can then be used again to make new bottles or other products.The researchers compared their new LCC with the old enzyme, and were satisfied with the results. When the environment was just right, the new LCC was able to break down 90% of the PET in just ten hours. The old enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke down half of the PET.（）1. How much PET plastic is produced every yearA. About 7.72 trillion kilogramsB. About 63.5 billion kilograms.C. About 100 thousand kilograms.D. About 2 hundred kilograms.（）2. What do you know about the bacteria from thepassageA. Bacteria can be seen with our eyes.B. Bacteria can break down other materials directly.C. Bacteria use enzymes to create physical changes in things.D.Bacteria are small living things that feed on unusual forms of "food".（）3. According to the passage, what is the relationship between PET plastic and LCCA. The earliest LCC couldn't break down PET plastic.B. LCC can help stop PET plastic from breaking down.C.PET plastic can now be recycled faster because of a new kind of LCC.D. The used PET plastic will become another kind of pollution because of LCC.（）4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA. Bacteria: Growing by eating chemicalsB. Enzymes: Working like a pair of scissorsC. PET: Being widely used to make water and soda bottlesD.LCC:Leading to easier high-quality recycling of PET plasticD"Who are you "asked the little prince（王子）."I am a fox,"said the fox."Come and play with me,"said the little prince."I am so unhappy.""I cannot play with you,"the fox said. "I am not tamed.""I am looking for men,"said the little prince."What does that mean-‘tame’ ""To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys.

Fresh green grass, Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9, 500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may lookjust like any other well-organized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs （屋顶） of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. Whatis more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causingthe "urban heat-island effect". On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling inthe building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage （排水）system. ▲ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the citymay become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?（1）With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________.A. how wildlife is protectedB. what a green roof is likeC. how to organize a good parkD. what to do with a spare roof（2）The underlined word "moderate "in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to "________". A. raise B. check C. record D. control（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A. A green roof is alive.B. A green roof stops pollution.C. A common roof is noisy.D. A common roof increases the cost.（4）The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. discover the problems with green roofsB. introduce the change of green roofsC. show the amazing beauty of green roofsD. describe the advantages of green roofs【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】文章大意：介绍了绿色屋顶的优点。

It is reported that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities ar e “developmental", that is to say, they happen before people’s twenty-second birthday, often from born conditions, and are hard enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as movement, communication, occupation, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious" (偶然的), i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces. Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Improvements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic (基本的) needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unluckily, these basics are often not available. Human rights such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and achieve work have traditionally been not agreed on the basis of disability.In recent ten years, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these disagreements of human rights. Congress(国会) replied by passing important laws recognizing(承认) people with disabilities as a protected groupunder human rights laws.It is reported that more than half of qualified(有资格的) Americans with disabilities don’t have work, and a lot of those who do work are out of work. About two-thirds live at or below the official lowest level.Obvious difficulties, especially in communication and public awareness(意识), prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person unable to communicate is excluded(排斥) from society and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.Only when public attitudes(态度) advance as far as laws have, disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.11．. A “developmental" disability ______.A. is caused by forcesB. happens in youth and affects developmentC. develops very slowly over timeD. is getting harder and harder12．Most disabled people used to die early because ______.A. they were not very well looked afterB. disabilities destroyed body functions terriblyC. they were too poor to get right treatmentD. medical treatment were not available13．The sentence “Still today, people with disabilities must fig ht to live their lives freely.” should be placed at the beginning of Paragraph _________.A.

Many disabled people may remain single(保持单身) for their whole life.C. The disabled people feel inferior(不及) to those common people.D. Discriminatory(歧视性) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others. 15． The best title for this passage might be ______.A．The Causes for DisabilitiesB．Medical Treatments for DisabilitiesC．The physical difficulties of the DisabledD．Disadvantages of People with DisabilitiesThe weather is getting warmer and warmer. It is fun to play outside, but people are afraid to play outside these days, because of the H7N9 virus. The H7N9 virus is one type of influenza A H7 viruses. It is a new type of bird flu. Influenza A H7 viruses mainly affectbirds but sometimes they can also affect humans. Most people infected with H7N9 virus look like they had a common flu.

The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday(March 11) off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted(引发) tsunami warnings（海啸警报）across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. Several days after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami devastated the coastline. The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The largest, with a 9.5 magnitude, shook Chile(智利) in 1960.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo. The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately（普通的） damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize（使降到最低） the effects of the disaster.

He was given the silver cup.“It isn’t rightly mine,” he said, when he was holding the cup.” “It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in…”“A f amily was staying at my hotel at that time. Mrs. Prig, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. ‘He’s only ten.’ she said, ‘I’ve been told that he plays quite well.’“Well, as you can guess, I wasn’t too h appy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick----and so it was.“I soon knew that David Prig was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall. The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board.“ Call me when you are ready, Mr. Watson,” he said.When I was ready? I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister. I studied the board, and found I was driven into corner. So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten. Oh, so easily, by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner── in twenty-eight minutes.“David Prig, a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”1.

Before the game, Mr. Watson was quite sure that _________.A. the boy played as well as he didB. he would be Southern Chess Master two years laterC. he could win the game easilyD. the boy would win the game quickly3. Why did David play tennis while he was playing chess with Watson?

Which of the following is NOT true?A. Sometimes young children can beat adults in playing chess.B. Watson thought he could win the game quickly, and so he did.C. Watson learned something from David and won the silver cup.D. Watson would never forget the name of the boy.【答案与解析】这是一篇读后让人惊叹不已的故事。

中考英语阅读理解模拟试题一一、有人为了要扩张耕地和工地面积，试图把湿地变成农田，变成建筑，可是这是决不行旳！由于湿地对我们人类来说是十分重要旳。
There are many wetlands（湿地） in China and some of them have become the world ‘s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng， Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区） is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world， but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine， too. They are really good places for wildlife（野生生物）。
Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily， more and more people are beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year， on February 2nd， many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给旳四个选项中选择最佳选项。

A mini-garden carried on China’s Chang’e-4 moon lander recently became home to the first plant to grow on another world.This is yet another success for Chang’e-4. On January 2, the probe(探测器) became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon. This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth. Although it is often considered as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side. For example, when all we can see is a silver of a new moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight.Part of Chang’e-4’s mission(使命) is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring(探索) whether humans could grow food and other plant products there. Chang’e-4 carried a mini-garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it. When plants shoot on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground), and so they always shoot upwards. The moon’s gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth’s, so Chang’e-4’s experiment was a test: would the earth plants k now which way was up on the moon? Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon; sunlight will not return until the start of February. As a result, the cotton shoots died. Besides the dar kness, the plants can’t stand the cold (it can drop to -170℃ on the moon at night).

阅读练习33
People often say, “Children can’t do math problem, it’s because parents can’t do their children’s homework. ” Here’s an example to show what I mean.
The other day my daughter brought home her math homework. “I have to subtract (减) 179 from 202,” she said.
“It’s quite easy,” I said. “You put the 202 over the 179. ”
“But we need a 10 here. Where is the 10?”
“I don’t know where the 10 is. Let’s just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23. ”
“We can’t do it that way. We have to use the 10. ”
“Well, I’m going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202. ”
Over the telephone, I said that I was having a bit of trouble with the homework she had given to my daughter. The teacher said, “In the right-hand column (栏) we have units of one. The two in that column counts for two ones. The zero in the center counts for zero tens. The two in the left-hand column counts for hundreds. Are you clear?” But I didn’t think I was clear.
I hung up and found my way to the medicine box. My head was now hurting. I started putting pills of medicine into my mouth. “How many did you take?” my wife asked. “I took one and then I took another…I know one and one was two, but don’t ask me what it is now. ”

【答案与解析】作者向我们讲述了很多人都可能遇到的一个问题：父母往往回答不上来小孩子问的一些非常简单的数学问题。
文中作者的女儿向他询问怎样计算二百零二减去一百七十九这道题。
结果，他的女儿不但弄不懂他的解释，而且他还无法解释清楚女儿提出的问题。
他只好向女儿的老师求助，而自己被老师的解释搞得天昏脑胀……
1. D。
细读第二段，再联系父女俩的谈话即可得出答案。
2. B。
根据“but I didn’t think I was clear. ”以及“I took one and then I took another…I know one and one was two, but don’t ask me what it is now. ”可知B 项是错误的。
3. A。
根据短文内容，那位老师所说的“”她的意思是说“个位上的数字是几就表示几个一”，当然应是小于1的数。
4. D。
由“My head was now hurting. ”这句话，可知“父亲”听了老师的解释后没有生气、焦虑或悲伤，而是头昏脑胀，疲惫之至。
5. C。
选项A是不现实的，而选项C、D更是荒诞离奇。
体会一下文末一段“父亲”的举动，就可以想起他是一种什么样的心情。
