They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas.Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expectFind your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy comets（封星） or planets which hit into Earth.However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge（海绵）. This suggested that Earth's water might have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity."I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, "he said. "But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn't happen very often. When it does, it's amazing."Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long wayYears of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency's "Philae", a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by "Philae" had taken ten years!The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted.When "Philae" tried to land, it bounced（弹起）away from the comet's icy surface twice.

初中英语上海市九年级阅读理解之饮食(10篇)

Passage 1It is surprising that eating three meals a day --breakfast, lunch and dinner --has been a custom only since 1890. Before this time, they only had two meals a day -- breakfast and dinner.In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one’s fast (随便吃一点). But 200 years later it had become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became, instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a. m. and became a family meal.Dinner, however, went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11p.m.Years later, it had moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p. m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p. m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap(间隙)between breakfast and dinner.1. English people did not have lunch _______.A. after 1890B. until 1890C. in 1890D. by 18502. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means that _______.A. dinner didn’t go there with breakfastB. dinner is the same with breakfastC. dinner is different from breakfastD. dinner took the same way with breakfast3. The passage is mostly about___________.A. the history of breakfastB. what people eat for dinnerC. what people eat for breakfastD. the history of lunch4. The passage leads the readers to believe that __________.A. after1890 people couldn’t eat the three meals a dayB. our custom of meals is based on English customC. breakfast is the most important meal for usD. the body can get used to two or three meals a dayPassage 2People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time.Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child’s sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved, even if we are the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood(心情).1. Why do fewer people cook now?A. They are lazy.B. They are too busy.C. Many people don’t like cooking.D. They don’t like family meals.2. A parent spends an hour making cookies _______.A. just to satisfy her or his child’s sweet toothB. only to send a messageC. to let a child eat up in 15 minutesD. often to show her or his love3. The writer thinks the smell of home cooking _______.A. makes us happyB. makes us be interested in cookingC. makes us pay attention to our moodD. makes us love others4. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Family meals are important.B. How to make cookies.C. People are too busy to cook.D. Homemade cookies taste betterPassage 3With the development of society, many people are coming under the umbrella of fatness. Not just adults，but even children are getting overweight. Today some of the newborn babies are also born fat. It has been proved that the people living in the western developed countries are more likely to become overweight. There are a number of causes behind this.The people in the developed countries including the United States almost enjoy all the comforts of life. Almost all the things in the lives of the people living in these countries are at their finger tips.A very limited amount of movement and physical effort is required to do any kind of job. Becauseof the fact that these countries are quite developed，most of the jobs that the people take up are desk jobs. So the lifestyle of them is just around the office desk.Most of the western developed countries are cold ones. Nature demands that people eat the kinds of food so as to make them stand the coldness. Therefore，wine，fatty dairy products，bread，junk food，and red meat become important diets in these countries.However，the blame cannot be entirely put on the unhealthy eating habits of the people. Technology allows them to import almost all the food products that they do not grow. Although some healthy foods are grown in the countries nowadays，the quantity is very limited. It is not enough to meet the demand. So when they are not available and fatty foods are cheaper, people prefer to go for the eating habit that they have always been following.1. According to Paragraph 2，most people in the developed countries do ______.A. office jobsB. management jobsC. physical jobsD. tiring jobs2. According to the text, the reason why people in the western developed countries have to eat somefatty foods is that ____.A. the unhealthy eating habit is not importantB. fatty foods cost less to buy and healthy foods are in shortageC. healthy foods are in shortage and fatty foods are abundant.D. they can’t put the blame on their eating habits.3. The purpose of the author in writing the text is to _________.A. warn us of our bad eating habits in the developed countriesB. remind us of the relation between food and weight gainC. inform us of the causes of weight gain in the developed countriesD. tell us that fatness in the developed countries is natural4. People in the western developed countries often __________.A. carry umbrellas with themB. blame the fatness on the weatherC. grow a lot of healthy foods in their countriesD. eat to protect themselves from the coldnessPassage 4Legends about the development of coffee are varied and interesting, involving chance occurrences, political tricks, and the pursuit of wealth and power.According to one story, a sheepherder named Kaldi, as he tended his sheep, noticed the effect of coffee beans. He noticed that the sheep became excited after eating the red “cherries" from a certain plant when they changed pastures (牧场). He tried it himself, and was soon as overactive as his sheep. Another story relates that a monk happened to discover that this fruit from the shiny green plant could help him stay awake.Another legend gives us the name for coffee, “mocha”. Omar, an Arabian was thrown to the desert with his followers to die of starvation. In desperation, Omar had his friends boil and eat the fruit from an unknown plant. Not only did the soup save the group, but the residents of the nearest town, Mocha, took their survival as a religious sign. The plant and its beverage (饮料) were named Mocha to honor this event.Coffee was introduced much later to countries beyond Arabia, whose inhabitants believed it to be a tasty thing and guarded its secret as if they were top secret military plans. The government forbade transportation of the plant out of the Moslem nations. The actual spread of coffee was started illegally. One Arab named Baba Budan smuggled (走私) beans to some mountains near Mysore, India, and started a farm there. Early in this century, some of those original plants were found stillgrowing fruitfully in the region.Coffee today is grown and enjoyed worldwide, and is one of the few crops that small farmers in third-world countries can profitably export.【小题1】What does the second paragraph mainly talk aboutA．A sheepherder used coffee beans to keep sheep excited.B．Coffee was a special kind of red cherry from a certain plant.C．A sheepherder and a monk accidentally discovered coffee’s effect.D．Sheep ate a lot of coffee beans while they changed pastures.【小题2】Which of the following involves political tricksA．Kaldi’s story. B．The monk’s story.C．Omar’s story. D．Baba Budan’s story.【小题3】Mocha is originally the name of ______.A．a town B．an Arabian C．a kind of coffee D．a sheepherder【小题4】What can be the best title for the textA．The Secret of Coffee B．The Tales of CoffeeC．People’s Love for Coffee D．The Function of CoffeePassage 5A turkey named Courage gave thanks to President Obama for saving his life on the day beforeThanksgiving. Honouring a 62-year-old tradition, the President pardoned the bird on Thanksgiving eve.The tradition of a turkey pardon at Thanksgiving began with President Truman in 1947. Courage comes from Ellsworth, Iowa. The name Courage was chosen by voters (投票人)who took part in a survey posted on the White House website. The lucky turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden and posed for the cameras at the presidential podium(讲台).The dinner that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. That’s when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a hard winter in their new country. As America grew, Thanksgiving customs also spread and got bigger. George Washington declared that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrated Thanksgiving locally, with no official date. President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November 1863 a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way until 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and to help businesses. So Congress（议会）ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling on the fourth Thursday of November.This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November. Millions of Americans got together to give thanks with friends and family. The lucky turkey, Courage, was one of them. After his pardon, Courage would be sent to Disneyland Resort in California, where he would be the grand assemble of Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.1. That the turkey Courage was pardoned was decided by ________.A. George BushB. CongressC. President TrumanD. the public2. The first Thanksgiving Day was held to ________.A. celebrate the harvest of British settlersB. celebrate the progress of AmericansC. encourage the struggle with British settlersD. celebrate the joy of all Americans after a hard winter3. In 1939, President Roosevelt put forward the national day of Thanksgiving to ________.A. encourage the economyB. help the poorC. please CongressD. lengthen the summer holidays4. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. President Obama pardoned a turkey before Thanksgiving because of the economic crisisB. the turkey named Courage was pardoned by President Roosevelt before ThanksgivingC. the pardoned turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden on Thanksgiving eveD. the pardoned turkey will appear in a celebrating parade of Thanksgiving DayPassage 6How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life — it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”1. From the paragraph we know that working women .A. think cooking is especially complicatedB. do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC. are busy and not interested in cookingD. are likely to eat healthfully2. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .A. it contains only a small percentage of real juiceB. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real orangesC. it is largely orange-colored sugar waterD. it produces nothing but calories3. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .A. an effort with no resultsB. a search for a diet without fruitsC. a research on fruitless dietD. a diet serving as medicine4. Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .A. a balanced diet can result in being fatB. staying thin and healthy are both possibleC. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thinD. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food5. By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and mineralsD. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no usePassage 7We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are nauseating(令人作呕的). When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food.Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists(人类学家) try todiscover the hidden reasons for taboos.Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic(游牧的) people who move around will not want to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and the meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.1.What’s the main topic of this passage?A. Food and religion.B. Food and culture.C. Nutrition of different foods.D. Different ways of life.2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about food likes and dislikes?A. They are seldom related to nutrition.B. They are mostly associated with people’s taste.C. They are mostly connected with people’s life styles.D. They are usually related to cultures or religions.3.The underlined word “taboo” (Line 3, Para. 3) refers to _____.A. something undiscoveredB. certain religionsC. something forbiddenD. certain foods4. What can we infer from the passage?A. It is believed that brcoccoli is more nutritious than tomatoes.B. Americans prefer tomatoes to beef.C. People in Inner Mongolia would probably like to keep pigs for food.D. The famous boxer Muhamm Ali would like to eat rat rather than butterfly.5.Why do Americans prefer to eat beef?A. Because beef provides a lot of energy people require.B. Because beef is on the list of the most nutritious foods.C. Because they have the ideal condition to keep and ship cattle.D. Because cattle are large animals.Passage 8Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds. (2) citrus(柑桔) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal(谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw(生的) or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the world’s population so that no one is hungry.The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.1. According to the scientists, which of the following groups of food is the healthiest for your lunch?A. chicken, apples, cereal, cabbagesB. potatoes, carrots, rice, breadC. oranges, bananas, fish, tomatoesD. beef, pork, fish, milk2. It is important for people to eat _______.A. three times a dayB. dinner at twelve o’clockC. cooked food all the dayD. something from each of the seven kinds of food every day3. People in different countries and different places of the world _______.A. has the right kinds of food to eatB. cooks their food in the same wayC. has their meals at the same timeD. eat food in different ways4. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in some places don’t have enough to eat.B. There are too many people in the world.C. One of the problems is that no one is hungry.D. The scientists are trying to make people grow to be strong and healthy.5. If there is Paragraph 4, what do you think is going to be talked about?A. When people eat their lunchB. What to do with the two problemsC. How to cook food in different waysD. Why people eat different kinds of foodPassage 9If you are overweight like eighty millions other Americans, there is still hope for you.What you need to change your eating habits forever. You begin by keeping a complete record of what, where, when and how you eat. Once you understand your bad eating habits you will find it easier to exchange them for good ones. So keep a diary answering the following questions.1.What do I eat during a day ? Record every bit of food and drink you put in your mouth. Thisincludes (包括) that cracker you ate while opening the can of soup. It includes that Coca Cola you shipped from your friend’s glass. It includes your chewing gum. And remember when you stuck your finger in the peanut butter jar. Remember everything !Most people are astonished at what they eat and drink in one day.Behavior Change : Make a list of what you plan to eat during the day and following your plan.2.Where and when you eat ?Do you eat standing or lying ? Do you eat while cooking ,reading,watching TV, or driving? Do you eat when upset, happy, anger, worried, or hurried ? Do you reward or punish yourself with food ?Behavior Change : Eat three planned meals only. Sit up straight at your table. Do nothing but eat.3.How do I eat ? Most of us eat on the run. When we eat fast, our stomachs don’t get the message that we are full. So we keep eating.Behavior Change : Look at your food. Give yourself a chance to resist its sight and smell.Chew slowly. Cut up your food into small pieces and eat one piece at a time. Let your food digest (消化) and listen to the message from your stomach before you reach for seconds. What is the main idea of this passage ?Don’t worry if you are overweight.Eat less and drink less if you are overweight.This passage urges you to lose weight by changing your eating habits.Keep good eating habits whatever and however you eat.Which sentence in this passage express the main idea ?If you are overweight ,there is still hope for you.What you need to do is to change you eating habits forever.Eat three planned meals only.Make a list of what meals only.3.The word ‘cracker’ in the third paragraph is probably _________.A. a kind of foodB. a kind of drinkC. a way you eatD. a tool for opening a can4. Which of the following is not mentioned in this passage ?A. You’d better not reward or punish yourself with food.B. Pay attention to every bit of food and drink you put in your mouth.C. You should have three planned meals only.D. Be sure to drink less Coca Cola.5. The author suggests you should not reach your hand for some more food ____________.A. before you feel fullB. after you get the message that you are fullC. before you get the message that you are fullD. after your food digestsPassage 10You’re driving home from work. You’re tired, and the thought of shopping for food and cooking dinner makes you even more tired. Suddenly you see a brightly lit sign: “Hamburgers! Fries! Shakes!” Your hands are holding the wheel. Which way are you going to turn?If you turn toward the hamburgers, you’ll find much of what you’re looking for. You won’t have to do any shopping, and you won’t have to do any cooking. Not only that, and you won’t even have to clean up after you’ve eaten.Of course, the fast food will be about three times as expensive as food you buy in a store and maybe half as nutritious as food you cook at home. That’s because you’ve got to pay for someone else to buy the food and cook it, and for those unpleasant containers that save on cleanup. Fast food is also less nutritious because the meals are not as balanced as those you can prepare at home. Fat content and calories are high, and the meals don’t have enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Fast-food restaurant owners, who always care about money, also may cut corners on quality of foods.Worst of all, those hamburgers will be the same old hamburgers as you’ve had a million times before. With home cooking, you can eat anything you want, not just what you can find in fast-food restaurants.The choice is yours, of course. However, if you want to be healthy, wealthy and wise, try cooking at home.( )1. When you think of________, you feel even more tired after work.A. eating the fast foodB. preparing the fast foodC. shopping and cooking dinnerD. turning toward the hamburgers( )2. The fast food will be about three times as expensive as______.A.the food in a storeB.fresh fruits and vegetablesC.the good you cook at homeD.the food in other restaurants( )3.

They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace.

上海市中考英语英语阅读理解试题(含答案)

上海市中考英语英语阅读理解试题(含答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy." or "You're a lucky gal." That's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesn't think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.（1）The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker ___________________.A. feels happy because his friends were nice to himB. feels he may not have "read" his friends' true feelings correctlyC. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girlfriend HelenD. is sorry that his friends let him down（2）From the example "You're a lucky dog", we can learn that ______________.A. the speaker of the sentence is friendlyB. it means the same as "You're a lucky guy." or "You're a lucky gal."C. sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the wordsD. the word "dog" shouldn't be used to describe a person（3）The passage tries to tell you how to ___________.A. avoid mistakes about money and friendsB. bring the "dog" bit into our conversationC. be friendly to other peopleD. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you（4）What is important in listening to a person?A. To notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes.B. To listen to how he pronounces his words.C. To check if his words go well with his manner, his tone of voice and his posture.D. Don't believe what he says.（5）If you follow the writer's advice, you would ____________.A. be able to get the real meaning of people's wordsB. avoid any mistakes while talking with the people who envy youC. not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD. be able to observe peopleas they are talking to you【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）C（5）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了怎样避免误解他人。

上海市中考英语英语阅读理解精选及答案一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University, nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2019, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone.However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it sends us unlimited amounts of information. On the other hand, using a smartphone may become an addiction.Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university. They led the study. Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction.And these connections form slowly over time. Also, addiction to social media may affect our emotional state. The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings. They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely, depressed and anxious.Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction. They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction. The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts.But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers. Enk Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook, set aside a small amount of time to it. You should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you.（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Smartphone use has become extremely common.B. Most young people can't live without smartphones.C. Smartphones make our life more colorful and convenient.D. Most people consider smartphones as the greatest invention.（2）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means smartphone technology____.A. has a brilliant futureB. can be better than most people thinkC. has both advantages and disadvantagesD. can give us unlimited amounts of information（3）What did Enk Peper and Richard Harvey find about smartphone use?A. It can help reduce loneliness.B. It's more popular with students.C. It's preferred by young people feeling lonely.D. It can harm students' emotional state in many ways.（4）What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Social media isn't that important to us.B. We can train our brine to do many things.C. We shouldn't become addicted to our smartphones.D. There are ways to deal with Smartphone use addiction.（5）Which of the followings is True?A. We can use smartphones to deal with loneliness.B. An addiction can't be controlled if we still use smartphones.C. There were nearly 2. 4 billion people using smartphones in the world in 2017.D. Stop using smartphones if you don't know when and where you should answer the emails.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）D（4）D（5）C【解析】【分析】【文章大意】本文讲述了智能手机的利与弊。

It was another attack of pneumonia (肺炎). My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home from hospital and look after him. But I was eager to find a way to let him know that we cared too, even when we weren’t with him.Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. They hid notes in cereal (麦片) box, under a hairbrush or next to the phone. For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these reminders (提示) of our love.So as I tidied Dad’s kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes. Some were practical: “Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t go bad.” Some expressed my love: “Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow (枕头), “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”Just like his medicines made him better physically, these “emotional vitamins” would improve his health, too. Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was going. He said, “Pretty good. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”7．The author’s dad was in hospital probably because ________.A．he suffered the same illness again B．the author didn’t have time to care for him C．he felt too lonely D．he got hurt in an accident8．The author’s dad got home from hospital with the help of ________.A．the nurses from the hospital B．their local friendsC．the volunteers from his community D．their local relatives9．The author’s dad probably slept in the ________ for several weeks after he went back home.

We were searching for pumpkins that we could carve into fantastic jack-o’-lanterns. We wanted to laugh at their silly faces. We wanted lots of them to decorate our front porch. My brother Tim and I went to the store where we usually get pumpkins every year. They said they only had some baby ones that were too small to carve.Now what would we do? We went home, wondering if Mom or Dad would have any ideas. Dad said he would take us for a ride to see if a roadside vegetable stand had some pumpkins. “Ican’t believe they won’t.” he said. “It’s October after all.” So we piled into the car and drove out of town. The vegetable stand wasn’t there. And we didn’t see any others either. Dad said that he couldn’t figure out where the farmers were selling their vegetables these days. By that time, you can imagine how __________ Tim and I felt. Maybe we wouldn’t have any jack-o’-lanterns this year.I guess Mom knew the minute she saw us that we had been unsuccessful. But she said we should all just come with her. This time she drove. Where was she taking us? A secret pumpkin store? She seemed to know exactly where she was going.As she turned the car into the parking lot of City Hall, we saw a farmers’ market. Wow! This is where all the farmers brought their vegetables! There were thousands of pumpkins. Huge ones, tiny ones, medium-sized ones. We’d never seen so many pumpkins to choose from!We used some of our own money on the biggest one we’d ever had. We got some ordinary-sized ones too. Even Dad and Mom helped carve them. We had so much fun. And our porch is now a fantastic sight!13．What time of year was it?A．Spring.B．Summer.C．Autumn.D．Winter. 14．Where did the children first search for pumpkins?A．At a vegetable stand.B．In a store.C．At a farmers’ market.D．On a farm.15．The underlined word “stand” means _______.A．货摊B．小贩C．工厂D．站立16．Which adjective should be in the underlined “_______” in the second paragraph?

They’ve never been to another planet, but they might visit Mars soon. Astronauts will spend about six months getting to the planet, then about two years on the planet and about six months traveling back to the earth. They’ll be away from the earth for about three years, so they’ll need much food.It’s very expensive to take food into space. It costs about 120, 000 dollars to carry something that weighs one kilo, so an apple on Mars could cost 20, 000 dollars!Of course, they will need to take much food with them to feed the astronauts for three years. This amount of fresh food can’t stay fresh, and it is very expensive to take, so they need to find food that is not very heavy.At the moment, astronauts in space stations eat dried food. It’s very light, so it doesn’t cost much money to carry it into space.However, astronauts will stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food. In the future, astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like carrots and lettuce.Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. They’ll use these machines to change beans into food that tastes like meat or cheese. They probably won’t eat real meat or cheese because it won’t be possible to keep animals in space.19．Which planet do the astronauts plan to go to next?A．Mars.B．Space.C．The moon.D．The sun. 20．How long will it take to get to Mars?A．About three years.B．About two years.C．About six months.D．About thirty months. 21．Why do the astronauts eat dried food?A．Because it is cheap to carry.B．Because it is cheap to buy.C．Because it is very healthy.D．Because it is easy to buy.22．What may astronauts do in the future?A．Eat only dried food.B．Grow some fresh vegetables on Mars. C．Grow food in their spacecraft.D．Spend much money to carry food. 23．What will astronauts get from beans?A．Apples.B．Food that tastes like meat or cheese. C．Real meat and cheese.D．Animals.There were three young girls in a small town.

上海市中考英语英语阅读理解精选及答案一、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。

In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（被子）."Mom, I have a question to ask you." "What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dad?"My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. Love is inside."I listened carefully but I couldn't understand until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. After they were back from the hospital, my mother helped him walk slowly on the beautiful country road every morning. My father had never been so gentle. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him." Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day. "Susan, don't worry about me," he said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. "Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.

上海市中考英语英语阅读理解专题练习(附答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we 1oюk at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.（1）From the story we know that the butterfly can't fly because ________.A. it gets out by itselfB. the man feels sorry for itC. it doesn't want to challenge itselfD. the man helps it come out（2）Dennis' example shows that success people should ________.A. overcome the difficultiesB. take up business earlyC. become the leaders of tomorrowD. sell clothes from door to door（3）Which statement is TRUE?A.

Nothing Is Impossible To A Willing HeartD. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】本文通过蝴蝶破茧而出、一位成功的商人的经历讲述了勇敢面对生活中的苦难的重要性。
