一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is climate（气候） change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data（数据）from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield（平均产量） has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare（公顷）.However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings（茎段）rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype（基因型）. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus（真菌） in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation（种植园）suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People's love for bananas.B. The taste of bananas.C. The convenience of eating bananas.D. The future disappearance of bananas.（2）What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?A. More countries will start to grow bananas.B. Bananas will grow better in most countries.C. Bananas will not be able to grow any more.D. Bananas won't be as tasty as before.（3）What does Paragraph 5 tell us?A. What diseases bananas may suffer from.B. How bananas are grown.C. How diseases can easily kill bananas.D. Which diseases can kill bananas.（4）The passage is written to ________.A. offer tips for growing bananasB. explain why bananas may die outC. show the difficulties of growing bananasD. describe bananas' growing conditions【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因。

中考英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(附答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340, 000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions, like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental（气质） or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed（被解雇） or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect （影响） the levels of happiness.（1）Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?A. Those who are worried about getting old.B. Those who are single and unemployed.C. Those who feel unhappy all the time.D. Those who suffer from mental stress.（2）When may people have the highest level of stress?A. At the age of 20.B. At the age of 25.C. At the age of 35.D. At the age of 40.（3）According to Arthur Stone's idea, old people may .A. control their behaviors betterB. know how to spend money wiselyC. dream about good things every dayD. have a positive attitude towards their life（4）What would be the best title for this passage?A.

（英语）中考英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)含解析一、阅读理解1．阅读理解"Without music, life would be a mistake, "famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways.When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.（1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____.A. they were too difficult to learnB. students in the US weren't interested in musicC. the schools wanted to control budgetsD. there weren't enough music teachers in the US （2）In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word "them" refer to（指代）?A. Students in Chicago.B. Public schools.C. Parents in Chicago.D. Fired teachers.（3）How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.（4）What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?A. Music is as simple as it looks.B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.C. Music is a big part of our lives.D.

In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species （物种）might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine（饥荒）. Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider scale.Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won't find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers. For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared. Scientists believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world's food varieties to disappear.One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds （种子） as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 seeds from five contients. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the seeds her great –grandfather brought to the U.S. from Germany more than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don't just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven't been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.（1）What is this passage mainly about?A. The need to protect different food species.B. How to increase the number of food species.C. The fact that many food species are dying out.D. How to prevent food species from disappearing.（2）Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again?A. Because people depend on certain species of food crops.B. Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.C. Because the world's population is larger than that in 1845.D. Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past.（3）The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________.Meanwhile, thousands of other species are dying out.A. Paragraph 1B. Paragraph 2C. Paragraph 3D. Paragraph 4（4）What can we learn from the passage?A. The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people in Ireland.B. Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared.C. People have been storing seeds to save plane varieties for less than 100 years.D.

What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful（压力大的）."For people who are worried about math, posture （姿势）makes a big difference," Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped-over （趴倒的）posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive（戒备的） posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit（受益）from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.（1）What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams?A. Sitting up straight.B. Hanging your head.C. Lying on your back.D. Raising one hand.（2）What did the scientists ask the college students to do during the test?A. To do sit-ups.B. To count numbers.C. To think carefully.D. To sit in different postures.（3）How many students in the test benefited from the better posture?A. All the 125 students.B. Less than half of them.C. 56 percent of them.D. None of the students.（4）The fourth paragraph is written to explain .A. why slumping over makes exams harder to doB. why slumping over is bad for one's healthC. why some people slump over during examsD. why people are nervous during math exams（5）Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

深圳市中考英语试卷英语阅读理解题分类汇编(及答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解At some point in life, many people develop a mental (精神) problem.While most people get over it, for others it doesn't go away easily.The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020. It will become one of the main causes of illness, and even death.In China, the picture isn't bright, either. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying (欺凌). In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source (渠道) of stress. Online, young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures", says the centre.Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, "If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever.""My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—ask for help," he told China Daily.（1）Which of the following is NOT the cause of stress according to the passage?A. Heavy schoolworkB. Being bullied at school.C. Some information from the Internet.D. Certainty about the future.（2）Why don't Chinese people ask for help with their mental problems?A. They don't think them serious.B. They can get over them in time.C. They can keep their mental health secret.D. They are afraid of being looked down upon.（3）What does the underlined word "stigma" most probably mean in Chinese?A. 羞耻B. 印象C. 援助D. 危害（4）Elaine Peng advised the teenagers with mental illness to ______.A. think less of themselvesB. avoid being bulliedC. ask for help as soon as possibleD. stay away from the Internet.（5）The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. ask research centers for helpB. tell about teenagers' stressesC. call public attention on teenagers with mental illnessD. show some different opinions from different countries【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）A（4）C（5）C【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述世界上许多人有精神疾病，到2020年世界上有一半的青少年患精神方面的疾病。
