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read.If you read enough,you will probably find that your schoolwork becomes much better.Some people say that reading is out of date.This is not true.You can read on computers and,the more you read,thebetter your computer skills will be.Good readers aremost likely to be good writers,too.They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

made out a modern spaceshipC．scientists invented an advanced telescopeD．humans left their footprints on Moon【小题3】What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A．Why people are interested in the moon.B．How ideas about the moon have changed over time.C．Where the moon came from in the past.D．That people have finally learned the truth about the moon.【小题4】Before1969most scientists thought the moon was________.A．part of the earth billions of years earlierB.older than the earthC.a planet caught by the earth's gravityD.made of the same things as the earth【小题5】From this passage we can learn that________.A．scientists in the past were not cleverB．the earth was once part of the moonC．new information brings new ideasD．we now know everything about the moonCDBCCDThere are four seasons in

today.Thousands of these“How to”books are available;in fact, there are about four thousand books with titles that begin with the words "How to".One book may tell you how to earn more money,another may tell you how to save or spend it,and another may explain how to give your money away.Many“How to”books give advice on careers.They tell you how to choose a career and how to succeed at it.If you fail,however,you can buy a book called"How to Turn Failure into Success".If you would like to become very rich,you can buy the book"How to Make a Million".If you never make any money at all,you may need a book called"How to Live on Nothing?"One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems.If you want to have a better love of life,you can read"How to Succeed at Love Every Minute of Your Life?".If you are tired of books on happiness,you may prefer a book called"How to Make Yourself miserable?". Many of these books help people use their time better.Some people want books which will give them useful information about sports,hobbies,and travel.Other people use their free time to make repairs and improvements on theirhomes.They prefer books which give step by step instruction on how torepair things like plumbing(卫生管道工程)and electrical wiring,or on how to redecorate(重新装饰)or enlarge a house.Why have"How to"books become so popular?Probably because life has become so complex.Today people have far more free time to use,more choices to make,and more problems to solve.

Life can be hard for amusics.In fact,most people cannotunderstand what it feel like be amusic.Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful.That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music.However,this can result in social loneliness.“I used to hate parties,”says Margaret,a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic.By studying people like Margaret,scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别)this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music.The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing.Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well.They also have no problems understanding common speech.Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断).For years,Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem music.Now she knows that she is not alone.That makes it easier for her to explain.“When people invite me to a concert, I just say”No,thanks.I’m amusic.’”says Margret.【小题1】Amusics are the people who_________.A．like music B．have poor listening C．don’t like music D．are born unable to enjoy music【小题2】Life is hard for amusics mainly because_________.A．music seems noise for them.B．people don’t understand amusics C．amusics try to stay at places full of music D．amusics hate parties,restaurants or shopping center.【小题3】Scientists identify amusics by_________.A．studying different kinds of music B．going to parties regularly C．studying amusic people D．comparing music to colors【小题4】What causes amusics different from most people according to scientists?A．Their brains.B．Their poor hearing.C．Their lack of colors.D．Their problems with speech.【小题5】What is the main idea of the passage?A．Amusics’strange behaviors.B．Musical ability.C．Some people’s inability to enjoy music.D．Identification and treatment of amusic.DBCAC（注：文档可能无法思考全面，请浏览后下载，供参考。

【中考英语总复习考点专项练习】39 阅读理解之说明文(原卷及答案)

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

它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。

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

说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。

说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。

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

然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度大。

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

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

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

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

边阅读，边搜记，牢记要点，把握全文。

A（2022·西藏·中考真题）The Fuxing train has started running in southwest China’s Tibet along the Lhasa—Nyingchi Railway(拉萨—林芝铁路).The 435-kilometer railway links Lhasa and Nyingchi. It is China’s first electrified(电气化的) railroad on the “Roof of the World”. It shortens the journey between Lhasa and Nyingchi fromover five hours to about 3.5 hours.The new railway covers an area of 226,000 square kilometers. It goes through 47 tunnels (隧道) and crosses 121 bridges. The train has a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. It is the fastest train on the high land, but it’s a bit slower than some other Fuxing trains in our country because of the special environment. The railway not only makes local people’s life easier, but also brings more tourists to the area.“The railway trip is so relaxing and fast. The new train has brought our family members closer than ever before,” said a teacher who lives in Nyingchi. She used to drive more than five hours from Nyingchi to Lhasa to visit her parents during the summer vacation.Besides carrying passengers, the railway also provides good chances for farmers to sell local products to more places. It’s sure to put new energy into Tibet’s economic(经济的) development. 1．How many hours does the journey take between Lhasa and Nyingchi by Fuxing train? A．About 5 hours.B．About 4 hours.C．About 3.5 hours.D．About 1.5 hours. 2．What’s the top speed of Fuxing train from Lhasa to Nyingchi?A．160 kilometers per hour.B．121 kilometers per hour.C．47 kilometers per hour.D．160 meters per hour.3．What does the underlined word “shortens” mean in Chinese?A．克扣B．下降C．缩短D．缺少4．What’s special about the Lhasa—Nyingchi Railway?A．It covers a large area.B．It can carry passengers.C．The train goes through lots of tunnels and bridges.D．It’s China’s first electrified railway on the “Roof of the World”.5．What can we learn from the passage?A．The railway trip is not relaxing or fast.B．The railway does not bring more tourists to the area.C．The train goes through 121 tunnels and 47 bridges.D．It’s a bit slower than some other Fuxing trains in our country.B（2022·江苏南京·中考真题）Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other. Then one day, Sue saw Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common (相同) until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through their CDs than through their clothesor taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (倾向于) be serious and intelligent. While fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.C（2022·重庆璧山·一模）Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood powered or coal powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment (设备) powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the “Sol 4”. “It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.”The “Sol 4” works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把……对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a nongovernmental (非官方) organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations (捐款) to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.16．The writer starts the passage by ________.A．comparing facts B．sharing experiences C．listing numbers D．giving reasons 7．The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “________”.A．cookers B．people C．mirrors D．experts 18．Which of the following about the “Sol 4” is TRUE ?A．It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B．It can work in any weather condition now.C．It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D．It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.19．From the passage, we can infer that ________.A．the “Sol 4” will be designed in a smaller sizeB．more Africans can use the solar cookers in the futureC．the “Sol 4” is the first product of the South African companyD．the African government will provide poor people with solar cookerD（2022·重庆开州·二模）◆Facial-recognition(人脸识别) cameras are everywhere, even in your smartphone. Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors, or make quick payments. But during the pandemic(疫情), can it still work when people put on masks?◆The answer is no. Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering & Technology(E＆T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system(系统). It can recognize 95 percent of people when they wear masks.◆What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes.◆Marios Savides from Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same—even if we put on weight. As long as there are enough data(数据) from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize us.◆Tech 5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company’s product scans(扫描) the shape of your face. It also scans your iris(虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech 5 hopes to leave out(忽略) all of the face below the nose.◆This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can search for criminals(罪犯) and terrorists(恐怖分子) even when they wear masks,” said Huang-Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports.

冲刺2024年中考英语必考题型终极预测（山东专用）专题05 阅读理解（说明文）15篇（2023·山东济宁·统考二模）“I’ll finish my homework before playing video games.”“Your dress looks beautiful.”“I won’t spend all the money on snacks.”All lies! Most of us have told a lie at one time or another. However, scientists found that lying can harm your brain (大脑). It may stop you from doing other important tasks.When you tell the truth, your brain doesn’t have to do any extra (额外的) work. But lying takes much more work.Imagine you’re late to class. The teacher asks why and you decide to lie. So you say: “I picked up a book from the library.” Your teacher asks, “The book I assigned (布置) last time?” Then you must decide how to answer the question. If you say yes, the teacher might ask to see the book. So you might say: “No.” Now you have to think of a book title. You need to make sure it’s a book the library actually has. See? When you lie, your brain works a lot more to keep the lie from falling apart.You just gave your brain a lot of extra work. An area called the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) does the work. It’s the part in charge of short memory. That area also takes care of planning, problem-solving and self-control.Using too much brainpower to lie means there’s less available for other things-like solve math problems. Lying is even harder for young people. The prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until age 25. So when young people are busy with lying, they’ll have a harder time doing other things, like making study plans or eating a healthy diet. So think twice before lying next time!1．What did the scientists find out about telling lies?A．It happens quite often.B．Most students have done it.C．It is bad for people’s brains.D．It’s an important way to protect oneself.2．What happens to your brain when you lie?A．It works more slowly.B．It has to do some extra work.C．It often says yes to others.D．It becomes better at answering questions.3．According to the story, why is it harder for people under 25 to tell lies?A．Because they are not clever enough.B．Because they have too much brainpower.C．Because they don’t have fully grown brains.D．Because they are still learning how to talk to other people.4．What is the best title of the passage?A．More lies, more work B．Lies make us healthyC．Lies grow with age D．Lies are difficult（2023·山东泰安·泰安一中校考二模）A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs l.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?If you answered 10 cents, you are not alone—most people give the same answer（the answer is wrong）. It’s an example of how we often depend on intuitive responses（直觉反应）—answers we feel are true. People give answers that “pop into their mind,” says cognitive scientist Steven Sloman. We don’t spend much time “reflecting and checking whether the answer…is right or wrong.”The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake（虚假的）news. It is part of human nature to believe, says Sloman. But “the trick with fake news is to know to verify”—in other words, to stop and check what you know.In one experiment, Sloman and a colleague invented a discovery called helium rain. They told a group of volunteers about it, but they did not fully explain what it was. They then asked the volunteers to rate（评等级）their own understanding of helium rain. Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7, meaning they didn’t understand it.The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery. This time, they said the scientists could full y explain how it works. The volunteers gave an average answer of 2. The scientists’ confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding of it, Sloman says.According to Sloman, studies show that knowledge spreads like a contagion（接触传染）. This idea can be seen in many fields, including politics（政治）. “If everyone around you is saying they understand why a politician is dishonest,” Sloman Bays, “then you are going to start thinking that you understand, too.”So, in a world where misleading information is common, is there a way to protect ourselves? “I don’t think it’s possible to train persons to check everything that they encounter（遇到）,” Sloman admitted. “It is just too human to believe what you are told.”However, training people to care about fact-checking is important, he argued, especially in online communities.Think of the headlines and stories that are shared on your social media feed every day. Probably these fit in with your own worldview—but perhaps not all of them are true.“We should check things and not just take them at face value,” Sloman said, “Make sure if it is true before you believe.”5．The writer uses the example of the bat and ball question to show that ________.A．people often forget skills that they have learned at schoolB．there is often more than one possible answer to a questionC．many people give quick responses without thinking carefullyD．people sometimes are too careless to get the right answers6．How much does the ball cost?A．5 cent.B．10 cent.C．15 cent.D．20 cent.7．More volunteers said they could understand helium rain after ________.A．some of the volunteers explained it to themB．Sloman and his colleague showed them how it worksC．they heard that scientists could explain it confidentlyD．they examined the conclusion carefully by themselves8．What does the writer probably agree?A．It is important to do an experiment based on scientific research.B．The second group of volunteers are more confident than the first.C．People can be cheated easily because of too much fake news.D．People should be trained to check before they believe something.（2023·山东泰安·泰安一中校考二模）If you are joining in chat room conversations, or writing e-mails with net pals（网友）, you are one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s easy: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable timetelling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB（=be right back）will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI（=pardon me for jumping in）.Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request（要求）to know your pal’s age, sex（性别）and location（地点）. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF（=on the floor）, or LOL（=laughing out loud）, or join the two into ROTFL（=rolling on the floor laughing）.And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG（=got to go）or TTYL（=talk to you later）.People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital （大写字母）letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation（标点）is going too.9．The sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” means ________.A．people should use words properlyB．people should communicate in a funny wayC．people online can express themselves in a simple wayD．people should know what time it is when they are talking10．If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ________.A．you are talking to 17 girls who are from New YorkB．you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New YorkC．the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girlD．the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine11．Which of the following is a way to save online time?A．People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.B．Many people draw pictures instead of typing letters.C．People never use the “shift” key as it takes more time.D．People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.（2023·山东德州·统考三模）Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and aging (老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from ultraviolet rays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly(定期地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.12．________ is the most important way to protect our eyes.A．Natural eye care B．Taking medicineC．Seeing the doctor D．Being happy all the time13．All the following causes can lead to bad eyesight except ________.A．age B．height C．reading D．computers14．.

What symbols do you think best stand for love? The heart, rose or chocolate? This time we are going to look at a classic Chinese poem, Love Seeds. It was written by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei who had a different understanding of the symbol of love.In the first two lines, the poet expresses his feelings of missing his friend, who lives in southern China, by describing the growth of red beans in spring. In classic Chinese poems, poets prefer to express feelings in an indirect or symbolic way. When describing the natural environment or showing some symbols, Chinese poets always mean more than what’s described on the surface.In Chinese culture, red beans are seen as “love seeds”, which have a strong cultural meaning. Because they are often hard, come in a heart shape, and can be stored for a long time, those beans have long been used as a symbol of love and loyalty（忠诚）between lovers.In the last two lines, the poet wishes his faraway friend to collect as many red beans as possible, as the beans will bring back his friend’s memories to the poet.Instead of showing love to others by directly saying “I miss you” or using flowery language, this short poem can make readers feel deep love.17．What’s the Chinese title of the poem Love Seeds?A．《相思》B．《梅花》C．《赋别》D．《春晓》18．In classic Chinese poems, poets express feelings in _______ ways.A．direct B．straight C．symbolic D．short19．How many features（特点）of the red beans are mentioned by the writer?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.20．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Wang Wei is a great poet from Song Dynasty.B．Wang Wei lived in southern China when writing this poem.C．Wang Wei thinks red beans are seen as “love seeds” because of their color.D．Wang Wei thinks red beans will bring back his friend’s memories to him.（2023·山东聊城·统考三模）Since humans sent the first satellite (卫星) to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there.A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高杆水稻品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the short shoot rice variety have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug 30.While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a mature (成熟) plant producing new seeds.Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create mutated (突变的) seeds, thanks to microgravity (微重力), lack of air and cosmic rays (宇宙射线). The seeds can then produce yields (产量) on Earth.According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center, 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth shortened from 13 months to 9 months.21．How high did the tall shoot rice variety grow for the first month?A．5cm.B．25cm.C．30cm.D．35cm.22．The underlined word “forward” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________” in Chinese.A．向前B．向后C．向左D．向右23．How does the current (现在) rice experiment differ from other experiments?A．It goes through a complete life cycle.B．Its seedlings are growing very well.C．It uses completely new rice varieties.D．Its seedlings have successfully come up.24．Why do we grow food in space?a. To feed astronauts.b. To study microgravity.c. To increase yields on Earth.d. To research on cosmic rays.A．a b B．b c C．b d D．a c25．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．People are afraid of food.B．Space planting is benefiting us.C．People will never run out of food.D．Space planting has disadvantages.（2023·山东济宁·济宁学院附属中学校考二模）In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. They’re not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different from in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western host sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask. “Is it OK if I smoke?” But, don’t be surprised if they say “No, you can’t smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.26．When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ________.A．buys some fruit B．wants some gifts C．feels like a god D．takes a cup of tea27．If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?A．It’s OK if you smoke here.B．Sorry, you can’t smoke here.C．Let’s smoke together.D．Smoking is a bad habit.28．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?A．think back to B．keep close to C．look forward to D．get used to29．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Foreigners should learn from Chinese.B．People should understand cultural differences.C．Western hosts are always nice to guests.D．Hosts must do things in the guests’ way.（2023·山东日照·校考一模）Superfast Writing Robot Tech company has made a powerful robot that can write novels.Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it to generate (生成) human-like texts. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing range (范围) of a real person!People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history papers, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even got advice on how to interact (互动) with people at a party, reported The Atlantic.The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of difficult matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution. But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer. ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. The materials they create are difficult to distinguish (区分) from those made by humans. This causes many ethical (道德的) issues, such as the issue of copyright (版权) and the real meaning of art. Since the system is largely trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases and stereotypes (刻板印象) about certain groups. These are all the things that depend on humans to solve.30．The writer uses “the story of the cat” as an example to ________.A．show what creative work ChatGPT can doB．introduce a cat that wants to go to spaceC．introduce a series of bedtime booksD．show how many stories ChatGPT can create31．ChatGPT can do the following things except ________.A．making up human-like texts B．singing songs to peopleC．writing songs，poems and even jokes D．producing a good article in seconds32．The underlined word “biases” in Para.5 means “________”.A．印象B．傲慢C．意见D．偏见33．Which is RIGHT according to the passage?A．US company OpenAI developed ChatGPT to generate animal-like texts.B．Nobody asked ChatGPT for help about how to interact with people at a party.C．ChatGPT can spend seconds writing a good article about the theory of evolution.D．ChatGPT is so perfect that there is nothing wrong with it.34．The last paragraph is mainly about ________.A．how people will feel about writing in the futureB．what problems AI writing can causeC．the reasons why people dislike AI writingD．human efforts in developing AI writing（2023·山东泰安·统考一模）Have you ever imagined going inside of a video game? That dream may soon become real. It’s called the “metaverse（元字宙）”.The metaverse is a shared virtual（虚拟的）3D world. The word is made up of “meta”, which means beyond, and “verse” which refers to “universe”. The word first appeared in a science fiction book called Snow Crash in 1992. In this story, people wear virtual reality（VR）headsets to see and join the metaverse.Now, what happens in the book is becoming a reality. Wearing a VR headset, you can meet other people wherever they are. You also can work and play with them. It will feel real because the technology can simulate（模拟）our senses: vision, hearing, touch and even smell.“The metaverse is about creating another reality, another world, which is as rich as the real world. So, what can you do inside the metaverse? Your location will no longer matter, ” says VOA News. It means that in the metaverse, people will be connected at all times. You can meet friends from other countries and go on a virtual beach vacationtogether. You can go to the beach on the moon, or anywhere else you can imagine. Can’t find a friend to play basketball? Jump into the metaverse and find some friends to play with or go to a concert!Cathy Hackl, an expert in metaverse technology, said her son’s first concert was inside a video game. “Although it happened in a video game, it didn’t make it less real for him, ” she said.Perhaps the metaverse will change our idea of what is real.35．Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.A．how to join the metaverseB．what happened in the book Snow CrashC．where the word “metaverse” comes fromD．when the book Snow Crash came out36．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.A．VR headsets B．other people C．our senses D．video games37．What is Cathy Hackl’s attitude toward the metaverse? ________A．The technology still needs to be developed.B．It is not good for kids to join the metaverse.C．The metaverse will hardly change our lives.D．The metaverse is a different kind of reality.38．Which can be the best title for this passage? ________A．A Virtual 3 D Movie B．Metaverse Is HappeningC．Metaverse in the Books D．Snow Crash（2023·山东泰安·统考一模）Two teams of scientists in Denmark and in the United Kingdom came up with the same question at about theTesting for eDNA isn’t a new idea, but most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in water. Neither team knew that the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different locations at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other did at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums（真空吸尘器）and fans to collect tiny bits of DNA．In the laboratory, comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos.The scientists chose to test in zoos because they had rare animals not naturally found in the area. Each team only discovered about the other experiment after they had written a paper about their own results. The two decided to combine（合并）their results and publish a paper together.Both teams are excited about the ways this new method could be used in the wild. The researchers believe the method could help scientists a lot. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering（干扰）with them. If researchers know where animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature.39．What can we learn about “eDNA” from the passage?A．It’s only floating in the air.B．It’s created by some researchers.C．It isn’t found in the water.D．It’s left in the environment.40．What is the RIGHT order for scientists to do the experiment?a.Collect very tiny bits of DNA from the air.b.Tell what kinds of plants and animals are in the zoos.c.Enter Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo with vacuums and fans.pare the samples with others in the laboratory.A．a-b-d-c B．d-b-c-a C．c-a-d-b D．b-a-c-d41．Which of the following is TRUE about the two teams of scientists?A．They used quite different methods.B．They knew exactly what they were doing at first.C．They competed against each other.D．They worked together to publish a paper.42．What’s the purpose of writing the last paragraph?A．To advise scientists to use new ways to do the experiment.B．To tell us the work of both teams is meaningful.C．To mention that the method of both teams isn’t perfect.D．To call people to protect endangered animals.（2023·山东日照·校考二模）The sun is so important that it makes life on our planet possible. But how does the sun do that? It’s the sun’s energy.Energy from the sun is called solar energy（太阳能）. It comes in the form of light or heat. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. The sun’s energy can be used to heat water and even food. If you own a magnifying glass, your parents have probably warned you not to leave it in the sun. Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn objects underneath it causing a fire. This type of energy from the sun is called solar thermal （热的）energy.We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity. This is done with solar panels（板）. Solar panels are made up of a material called silicon（硅）. The silicon is heated and formed into very thin wafers（晶片）. When the sunlight hits the solar panel, the electrons in the silicon move and flow through wires（电线）. Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars.But what happens on cloudy days? The electrons in the silicon will stop moving, which means the electricity can’t flow. But this doesn’t mean that solar energy can only be used on sunny days. People can use the batteries（电池）which are attached to（附着于）solar panels to store the electricity. So the stored electricity can be used to power cars at night or on cloudy days.Did you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be? In fact, in the last few years, solar panels have become much more affordable for people to use. Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than peoplehave used, imagine what we could do if we used the sun’s energy to power our planet.43．What is the energy from the sun?A．Solar energy.B．Wind energy.C．Magnifying glass. D．Batteries.44．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A．How to use solar thermal energy.B．How to turn sunlight into electricity with solar panels.C．How to store electricity with batteries.D．How to power our planet.45．What can we use to power cars at night according to the 4th paragraph?A．Thin wafers.B．The moonlight.C．The stored electricity.D．Solar thermal energy.46．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A．Solar panels are made up of silicon.B．Solar energy can be used for heating food.C．People have used solar energy for thousands of years.D．It costs more to use solar energy than before.（2023·山东日照·校考二模）Think about what is happening in many families: Kids come home, jump onto the sofa, get lost in the world of the TV screen and become couch potatoes. Now, a new law is making parents take responsibility for family education to help shape their children’s future.Called the Law on Family Education Promotion（《家庭教育促进法》）, it is the first of its kind in China and came into effect on January 1st, 2022. It encourages parents and guardians to educate their children properly.The law stops parents and guardians from placing too much pressure on their children. Parents and guardians should allow children enough time to study, rest, play and exercise, and make sure they don’t become addicted（上瘾的）to the Internet. They should treat all children, whether boys or girls, healthy or disabled, the same way and should never use violence（暴力）towards children.For children of migrant workers in rural areas, they may be left alone while their parents go to work in cities. The law asks local governments to keep a close eye on such families, and help the parents get jobs locally so that they can be more responsible for their children’s education.。

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

So last December, government wildlife experts thought up a plan to give food to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Ron Mezich, an expert, said, “We’re making a difference.” So far, they have served up more than 193,000 pounds of lettuce to hungry manatees. But as the weather is getting warm, the program is expected to end soon.Manatees are huge sea animals that only eat sea grass and other plants that live in the sea. That’s one reason why they’re sometimes called “sea cows”. Since 1967, Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals. Most dangers to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the animals are boats. Manatees are curious (好奇的) and fairly slow. That has led to thousands of manatees being hit or killed by boats. At one point, there were only about 2,000 manatees left in Florida. With protection, the number increased. In 2016, there were more than 6,000 manatees.However, as sea grass began to disappear, the number of manatees keeps going down again. Warming seas with polluted water have created huge growths of algae (藻) on the ocean’s surface. The algae blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow. For example, in Indian River Lagoon, where manatees often go in the winter, about 90% of the sea grass beds there have died off. Long term, Florida will work to help restore (恢复) sea grass beds. But that will take time. Scientists still worry that hundreds more manatees could starve this winter.1．Why are manatees sometimes called “sea cows”?A．They are as big as cows.B．They can swim like cows.C．They have tails like cows.D．They feed on plants like cows.2．How has the number of manatees changed over years?A．B．C．D．3．Which shows the correct order of the causes of manatees’ death?A．sea pollution→growth of algae→death of see grass→death of manateesB．growth of algae→sea pollution→death of see grass→death of manateesC．sea pollution→death of see grass→growth of algae→death of manateesD．growth of algae→death of see grass→sea pollution→death of manatees4．What is the meaning of the underlined word “block”?A．provide B．prevent C．help D．attract5．Which is the best title for this passage?A．Manatees Feeding Program B．Money Given to Save ManateesC．Sea Grass Bed Restored for Manatees D．Reasons for Manatees’ Death Still Unclear（2022·广东韶关·校考二模）Games from all over the world can be fun and simple to play.

We all need to exercise. Doctors say it is good for us. It makes our heart and body strong. Children who often exercise are more alert（思维捷的）. This means they do better in tests and schoolwork than those who don’t exercise.There are many ways to exercise. You can walk, run, swim, skate, or play ball games. Make sure you exercise in the following ways.You have to like what you’re doing.Exercise enough, but not too much. It’s best to exercise twice each week. Thirty minutes each time is enough.Try all kinds of things until you find one, two or even three sports right for you.Lots of people choose to exercise at fitness centers（健身中心）. Why? Because there is a lot of sports equipment（器材）there. The equipment will help exercise your arms, legs and other parts of your body to makeyou healthy.

But everyone can study to become smarter and train to get better at sports. Science shows that anyone can get better skills.Your brain is made up of billions of neurons（神经元）. They are all connected and send messages to each other. Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger. But if connections aren’t used, they will break down. So, learning is like exercise for your brain.A mindset is a way of thinking. Some people have a fixed mindset. They think they are either smart or stupid and they will stay that way forever. Other people have a growth mindset and they think they can learn and get better.According to Dr. Carol Dweck’s studies, people with a fixed mindset worry about grades. They’re afraid of looking stupid when they make mistakes. People with a growth mindset care about learning, not grades. They learn from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems. They ask for help when necessary. In only two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If they make mistakes, they just try again.Dweck’s team discovered that kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do better in school. Sonotice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it’s not true. You just have not learned how to do something yet.21．Everyone can get better skills by ________.A．eating healthy food B．getting enough exerciseC．sleeping well D．studying or training22．When you learn, neurons will ________.A．collect messages B．make new connectionsC．make old connections weaker D．break down23．The underlined word “fixed” in the passage means ________ in Chinese.A．变化的B．固定的C．聪明的D．修复的24．The writer gives the example of babies in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A．babies learn skills faster than older peopleB．babies have fewer worries than older peopleC．babies learn from mistakes to learn new skillsD．babies easily make mistakes in daily life25．The passage is about to ________.A．advise us to choose the proper way of thinking B．advise us to learn with smart peopleC．show us how neurons work in our brains D．compare two special ways of thinking（2022·广东惠州·统考一模）Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can’t get online with your computer. What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm (太阳风暴) might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.A solar storm is caused by solar flares (太阳耀斑): large explosions (爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems that control our computer, telecomputer networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine’s Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more,” a US website about space weather, warned.Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.26．According to the passage, a solar storm can cause many problems except that ________. A．earthquakes happen B．mobile phones have no signalsC．people cannot get online D．the power may go out27．According to the passage, solar flares are ________.A．telecomputer networks B．solar stormsC．large explosions near the sun D．the energy of the sun28．In 2011, ________ caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.

As the world’s third-longest river, it covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone(长江经济带) covers eleven provinces and cities, making up about forty percent of China’s total population and GDP.On December 26, China passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which came into force on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China.The mother river is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish has died out there. There’s also desertified land and soil pollution near the river.According to the law, fishing will not be allowed in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries(支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined(罚款) 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.Digging sand will be strictly limited(限制) in the river. Many companies are digging sand along the river.However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water to decline.Companies and factories along the river will need to focus on green development. If their activities do harm to the waterways, they will be moved away, the law says.31．The Yangtze River covers ________ of China’s land area.A．20%B．50%C．40%D．10%32．Which of the following is TRUE about the Yangtze River Protection Law?A．It was passed on March 1, 2021B．It came into force about ten years ago.C．It has increased the population of the area.D．It is the first law to protect a waterway in China. 33．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A．There is nothing wrong about the mother river.B．Overfishing is the only reason why Chinese paddlefish has died out.C．People can go fishing in Yangtze’s major tributaries.D．A person may be fined 80,000 yuan for fishing in Yangtze River.34．The underlined word “decline” in the passage means ________.A．dry B．fall C．disappear D．increase35．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To explain the new law to us.B．To tell us not to fish in Yangtze’s major tributaries.C．To tell us not to dig sand along the river.D．To give us suggestions on protecting the Yangtze River.（2022·广东江门·江门市福泉奥林匹克学校校考二模）The World Health Organization says that teenagers of the world’s do not get enough exercise, influencing their current and future health.The WHO says that kids should get at least an hour of medium to hard exercise every day. A research done by the UN health agency found 81 percent of students aged between 11 and 17 fail to get daily physical activity such as walking, riding a bike or playing sports. The report on global trends for teenagers physical activity is based on survey data collected on 1.6 million students from 146 countries since 2001.Exercise is really important for the health of the heart and lungs. More and more research are showing that physical activity is associated with better heart and lungs, mental health and cognitive (认知) activity, which have influenced on students’ learning. Exercise, along with healthy eating, is also viewed by experts as key to controlling a global over-height. The report did not mention why teenagers aren’t active in exercise, but it suggested digital technology means more young people spend too much time on computers and mobile phones.The study also found 85 percent of girls and 78 percent of boys surveyed failing to hit the daily exercise target. Male youths in rich Western countries and female youths in South Asia get the most exercise. While in China, the qualified rate of Chinese students’ physical test in 2018 was 91.91 percent, and the excellent and good rate was 30.57 percent. From 2016 to 2018, the situation of student’s exercise and health in the country showed an upward trend. However, the physical health of Chinese students hasn’t much improved, said Liu Bo, director of the Division of Sports Science and Physical Education in Tsinghua University.The current rate of over-weight among students is still high, according to a report released by the Chinese Ministry of Education. Therefore, we should encourage families, schools and society to guide students to develop healthy habits since childhood, do more exercise and prevent diseases such as shortsightedness and over-weight. 36．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the research?A．Many teenagers don’t meet the requirements of the experiment.B．Girls are more likely to do less exercise than boys.C．Teenagers spend less time doing exercise at home.D．Nonwhite teenagers spend more time on physical activities than white teenagers.37．Which of the following isn’t associated with physical activity?A．Heart.B．Lungs.C．Learning.D．Mental health.38．Teenagers need to _________.A．wear a belt in their hands every day B．report their location every 30 seconds every dayC．wear the accelerometer and GPS tracker in the waist D．exercise for 60 minutes every day39．What does the underlined word “digital” mean in Chinese?A．经济的B．信息的C．数字的D．计数的40．The best title for this passage may be _________.A．Teenagers Aren’t Getting Enough Exercises B．School Should Pay More Attention to Teenager’s Health C．Teenagers Don’t Like Exercise Nowadays D．Teenagers Get Half Their Day’s Activity at School（2022秋·广东惠州·九年级统考一模）Have you ever seen a solar panel(太阳能电池板) in your neighborhood? Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power their homes. However, common solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time?Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce electricity notonly from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls(滚动) down, it creates friction(摩擦力) on the surface(表面) of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity.Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day,” he says. “It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain.”The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make more flexible solar panels, which are as soft as cloth. They will be much lighter and provide more electricity.The field of solar energy is developing fast. Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together. Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels(液体和气体燃料).41．In many parts of the world, the cheapest form of electricity is ________.A．solar energy B．water energy C．wind energy D．light energy42．Common solar panels are not good enough because ________.A．the price of them is rising B．they can’t work all of the timeC．they can hardly power people’s homes D．they can’t take energy from the sun43．The new solar panel made by scientists at Suzhou University can ________.A．create more electricity at night B．provide electricity even in rainy conditionsC．turn water into electricity D．produce electricity from falling rain only44．The underlined word “flexible” in Paragraph 5 mean ________in Chinese.A．光滑的B．坚硬的C．柔软的D．粗糙的45．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.A．there is no room for developing solar energyB．solar panels don’t need to be improved any moreC．solar energy has completely replaced other kinds of energyD．there is no end to the research in the field of solar energy（2022秋·广东阳江·九年级统考一模）Nowadays, more and more people use the internet to shop, pay bills, and keep in touch with friends. As a result, a lot of our important personal information is online. And it becomes a target (目标) for online thieves (贼).Online thieves try new tricks every day. They won’t just try to steal your credit card (信用卡) numbers. They’ll try to win your trust to get your personal information.

中考英语分项汇编阅读理解之说明文阅读(含答案解析)

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

With automaticity,he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words,so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade.In a recent study of children in Illinois schools,Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others,but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman,the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time that a child spends reading,not his IQ.Any child who spends at least 3.5to4hours a week reading books,magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity.It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level.If you read aloud with expression,with asense of the meaning of the sentence,you probably are an automatic reader.If you read brokenly,one word at a time, without expression or meaning,you need more practice.【小题1】The sentence“Reading is the key to school success”means that reading___________.A．helps school develop fasterB．is the key to a successful schoolC．helps students go to a key schoolD．can improve students’learning results【小题2】Rossman tells that any child who_____________will probably be an automatic reader.A．turns off TV one night4weeksB．reads books by the word quicklyC．spends an hour reading every dayD．gets the same grades as others in exams【小题3】The underlined word“stumbles”in the passage means “_____________”in Chinese.A．结结巴巴地读B．全神贯注地读C．心不在焉地读D．声情并茂地读【小题4】The best title for the passage should be “______________________”.A．IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity B．TV Is Bad for Children’s ReadingC．Automaticity Depends on PracticeD．D．Automatic readers Will Be SuccessfulDCACCWe have always been interested in the moon.2000years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year.At that time,everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.When scientists could usetelescopes to study the moon more closely,their ideas began to change.They could see the moon was made of rocks.Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth.This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth's gravity millions of years earlier.In1969moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied.Much to their surprise,scientists found that,except for water,the moon and the earth were made of the same things.Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.After years of study,most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth.They believe very early in its history,maybe4million years ago,something about the size of Mars hit Earth.This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet.These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.In the future,even though our ideas about the moon may change again,we will still be interested in it.【小题1】Now,we’re sure________________A．Moon rocks are quite different from those on Earth.B．Moon was once a part of Earth.C．Moon moves around Earth and it’s the only satellite of Earth.D．Moon was once a planet caught in Earth’s gravity.【小题2】In1969there is a big event,that is__________.A．humans Found no water in Moon rocksB．scientists made out a modern spaceshipC．scientists invented an advanced telescopeD．humans left their footprints on Moon【小题3】What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A．Why people are interested in the moon.B．How ideas about the moon have changed over time.C．Where the moon came from in the past.D．That people have finally learned the truth about the moon.【小题4】Before1969most scientists thought the moon was________.

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

2024年人教版中考英语阅读理解说明文十篇

2024年人教版中考英语阅读理解说明文十篇Most people have probably seen a movie about an AI (人工智能) tool or a robot (机器人) that has become so smart that it can control the world. At present, there are no such AI tools or robots. But scientists have been working to improve AI models. Some recent models can create realistic photos from a short written description. Others can recreate anyone’s voice based on a voice recording just a few seconds long.The AI tool that has got the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI. When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It can make up stories and games, write articles, program computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be very intelligent (智能的). But in fact, ChatGPT is simply guessing—based on its training information—which word is most likely to come next, over and over again.In March, OpenAI developed a more powerful model, called GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are difficult for humans. The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people.
