I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren?t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda. One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn?t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something. Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away. In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen. Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait.

Not only are they sweet and delicious, but they are easy tocarry around, so you can take them anywhere. Best of all, bananas provide different things that the human body needs!Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. They grow on plants that look liketrees. The banana plant, however, is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesnstrong , woody stem （茎，干） . The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.Two or three times each year, the plants produce fruit. The bananas grow together, which seem like “ hands ”A .hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Growers sometimes call bananas“ fingers Each”. bunch （丛） of bananas has about 15 hands, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.After about three months, the bananas are ready to be picked. At this point, they still aren ’ t the sunny yellow color of bananas. Farmers pick them when they ’ green. That ’hows they ’ re shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.If you love bananas, you ’ vegot a lot of company. Americans have been enjoying bananassince the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876. Today, American eat more bananas than any other fruit.

Apples.B. Grapes.C. Bananas.D. OrangesDThere is a popular Chinese saying that “Fair skin( 皮肤 ) will make up for three flaws(缺陷)” .This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture, it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful. In Western culture, however, the opposite is true — many Westerners think tanned skin is prettier. The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful. These cultural meanings of the beauty, however, are no longer important. As more and more people travel overseas, ideas about beauty are being shared among cultures. The Internet has also made it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media. The result is an ever-changing idea of what is considered beautiful.The cultural practice of ear piercings, for example, has become a part of modern day culture.In Kenya, it is a tradition among Masai men and women to pierce and then make their ear lobes( 耳垂 ) longer using ivory and wood or stones. They then wear colorful things on their ear lobes. This isa common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sigh of beauty. This tradition has now found its way into present-day culture. Nowadays, this might still seem unusual to some, but with more and more well-known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes, itwill finally become more fashionable.It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty. However, since we now live in a worldwide society, people ’views about beauty are always changing. With the help of the Internet, people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out. So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future?27.What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty?A. The development of technology.B. The popularity of the latest fashions.C. The unchanged cultural traditions.D. The world’ s growingpopulation.28.What can be learned about the Masai people from the passage?A. Longer ear lobes are their new fashion.B. Only women make their ear lobes longer.C. They think longer ear lobes look beautiful.D. They make actors and film stars famous.29.The underlined word“ them ” in the last paragraphrefersto.A. peopleB. ideasC. culturesD. fashions30.What is the passage mainly about?A.People in Asian countries like fair skin better.B.Beauty is considered important in many cultures.C.Different cultures have different ideas about beauty.D.People ’ s ideas about beauty are changing all thetime.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）下面文章中有五处（第31-35 题）需要添加小标题。

Passage 1The Art of the ElephantsIf your cat walked across something you were painting and left footprints behind, would you consider your cat an artist？What if your bird held a colored pencil in its beak（喙）and painted on a piece of paper? Most people may think of animal art as a joke, but some people have been taking it very seriously。

Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailand’s logging industry（伐木业)。

They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads. At the beginning of this century，when the forests of Thailand began to quickly disappear，the government put a stop to logging. All of a sudden, many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way to make a living.Some elephants were treated badly。

Others had to try to live on thei r own and couldn’t find enough food to eat。

There were once tens of thousands of elephants in Thailand. Today, there are less than five thousand。

任务型阅读（一）A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests.Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can not.”“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.Answer the following questions according to what you read.1. Did the little stream want to reach the ocean or the desert at last?____________________________________________2. Was the little stream able to cross the desert at first?____________________________________________3.Who gave the advice to the little stream?____________________________________________4.What did the little Stream do after hearing the desert's words?____________________________________________5.

2018中考英语阅读理解专项训练及参考答案（名师出题考前专项训练+答案解析，建议考生下载练习）1Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn （打哈欠）and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it's because we have mirror neurons （神经元）in our brains・Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports・ But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people・Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to （for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”），the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed （in this example, actually taking hold of a ball）.Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning （彳亍使职责）. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein's theory of relativity （相对论）was for physics・ And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does 一well, perhaps you'll understand why.4& Mirror neurons can explain _____ ・A.why we cry when we are hurtB.why we cough when we catch a coldC・ why wc smile when wc see someone else smileD・ why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49. The word "triggered" in Paragraph 3 probably means “A. set offB. cut offC. broken outD. found out50. We can learn from the passage that mirror neuronsA.relate to human behavior and communicationB.decide our knowledge and language abilitiesC・ result in bad behavior and social disordersD. control human actions and appearances51. What is the passage mainly about?A・ Ways to find mirror neurons. B.Problems of mirror neurons.C・ Discovery of mirror neurons. D. Functions of mirror neurons.参考答案48. C 49. A 50- A 51. D2West Park ZooWelcome to the zoo一the best place to learn about animals from all around the world.The Snake House. Here you can see a number of rare and interesting snakes from the forests and mountains・ Many people are afraid of snakes and try to kill them when they see them, but there you can enjoy their beauty safely ・The Big Cat House. We have number of lions and tigers for you to see. Human farming has taken a lot of forest from tigers and they are now difficult to see except in zoos or on reserves・The Panda House・ We are very lucky to have two pandas・ You must be careful not disturb these wonderful animals. Most of the time they arc busy eating bamboo.The Monkey House. The monkeys will be happy to see you and to do tricks for you. We have fifteen different types and some are very noisy!The Elephant Village ・ We have built a small forest village for the elephants .It is a good place to take photos・ You can have a ride, too.The Children^ Area.

AWhen I was a child, I was a tomboy (假小子). I had a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. My brothers were two and four years older than I. We often played games together.Once, my brothers and I fell in love with playing a game called "stealing horses". Then my parents decided to buy my brothers guns. These were not "real" guns. Because I was a girl, I didn't get a gun. They shot and shot at everything with their new guns. I tried to "fight" them with my bow and arrows (弓和箭). But I was still in the poor position without a gun.One day while I was hiding behind a wall, looking out toward the fields, I felt a terrible blow to my right eye. I looked up just in time to see my brother lower his gun. Both brothers rushed to my side. My eye felt great pain and I covered it with my hand. "If you tell that to Mummy," they said, "We will get a whipping (鞭打) from Daddy. You don't want that to happen, do you?" I did not. "Here is a piece of wire (电线)," said the older brother, picking it up from the floor, "Say you stepped on one end of it and the other flew up and hit you." "Yes," I said. To be honest, I didn't want them to be punished. So I did as my brothers told me to do.A week after the "accident" my parents took me to see a doctor. Finally I knew my brothers were worried about my eye, so they told our parents what had happened and asked them to take me to see a doctor.26. According to the passage, the two brothers were________.

The writer's brothers wanted to hurt her.D. The two brothers didn't get on well with each other.BRoom for rent （租）We are a couple looking to rent out a bedroom.

He is a fourth-grade primary school student in Hangzhou, ZhejiangProvince. From three white jade snails at the very beginning tomore than sixty snails of four generations (代) now, he has done a great job for his science class.Watching the reproduction (繁殖) of animals is an uncommon experience for kids. Their creativity, patience and respect (尊重) for life will be developed as they learn to take care of animals on their own. Sun's teacher said the job served as a good example of life education. Practice is a necessary step in learning and it will benefit the kids for a life time.Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature and creatures (生物) in afriendly way. Starting from this year, science will become an important subject like Chinese and math in primary schools in order to improve students' knowledge about the things around us.

You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, it's not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glassfrom falling. First your eyes check out what's going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react (反应), and then your muscles (肌肉) go into action. That is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官). There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells (细胞) in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!Your brain stops growing when you're 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won't be able to fool them!Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works forlong-term memory establishment (建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in thebody like the heart that never stops during human lives.So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature. 41. In Paragraph 1, the writer wants to tell us ________. A. eyes and muscles react quicklyB. the brain controls everything in your bodyC. the computer is the best thing in the worldD. the brain is more powerful than any computer42.In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "That" refers to (指的是) ________.A. the body weightB. 2% of the body weightC. all energy in the bodyD. around 20% of the energy in the body43.Which is RIGHT according to the passage? A. The brain doesn't work during sleeping. B. The brain is the only organ that never stops. C. The brain keeps growing during human lives. D.

It was at the center of the playground that he placed the ball with a piece of paper, on which he wrote “Be careful next time！”.

He loved watching comedies(喜剧)best and hoped to become a comedy actor one day.When he heard about the talent show to be held at his school, Brian decided to take part in. He had never acted on stage(舞台)before, and he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly，” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do，” another boy also said to him, loudly.Brian couldn't understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the show.Brian did a great job at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were proud of him. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny, and that he would never be successful. Brian didn't understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had nothing to do with him. He confidently continued to work towards his goal.As the years went on, Brian met more people like Ken. “You'll do a terrible job，” they said to him. Luckily, most people encouraged him and some helped him to become even funnier. He got a lot of opportunities to perform in movies. He was even invited to appear on television.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail(细节) of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been indentified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM，超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which mostpeople would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old，”she said. “That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also reexperience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too，” Rebecca said.“For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，”she added. “If it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”【】1、Which is NOT TRUE about Rebecca?A、She has special memories.B、She is from Australia.C、She is 25 years old.D、She can remember every detail of all the events.【】2、What happened to Rebecca on the day when she was 3 years old?A、She was identified as having HSAM.B、Her mother put her in a car and took a picture of her.C、She started to understand calendars.D、She hurt her left knee at her grandparents'.【】3、Whenever she is reliving her memories, ________．A、she is happyB、she experiences the feelings againC、she feels pain in her kneesD、she can taste her favorite food【】4、What is the result of having HSAM?A、She can remember every event in her daily life.B、She can reexperience taste.C、She can relive feelings.D、All the above.【】5、From the passage, we can infer(推断)that________．A、HSAM can do her good, but it also brings her painB、she feels painful if she recalls her experiencesC、she can fall asleep while she is reexperiencing memoriesD、HSAM can greatly improve her living conditionsPassage 5Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer. He appears on television, he writes books, and he owns his own fashion house.Born in 1980, Carlton started designing clothes when he was eleven. His father owned a clothes store, and Carlton used to work there at the weekend. Then he did a design course at college.When he was 21, someone suggested doing a TV program. He made his first show “Carlton's Clothes” in 2004, and he wrote his first book in the same year. Since then he has written four more. Carlton got married to TV producer Susan Mills in 2005.Three months ago, Carlton started his new company. He called it “Design: Carlton”．At work Carlton always wears black trousers and a black coat, but at home, or when he goes out, he wears clothes with bright colors(red, blue and yellow). He is especially crazy about new glasses, he buys a new pair every few weeks. “I liketo look different every day，” he says.Carlton started wearing glasses when he was twelve. He dyed(给……染色) his hair red when he was 18. It is still red, and this year, for the first time, he has grown a beard. “My wife likes it,_that's why” is his explanation. But his beard is black!【】1、How old was Carlton when he wrote his first book?A、11.B、21.C、24.D、25.【】2、What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A、Carlton's hair.B、Carlton's beard.C、Carlton's coat.D、Carlton's company.【】3、What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A、Carlton likes to look different.B、Carlton is a hardworking person.C、Carlton is crazy about new glasses.D、Carlton loves wearing colorful clothes.【】4、Which of the following is true according to the passage?A、Carlton is just a common fashion designer.B、Carlton started his new fashion company in 2005.C、Carlton made his first show after he got married to Susan.D、Carlton got some design experience before going to college.Passage 6This year the US will honour(纪念) one of the country's most famous writers—Mark Twain(18351910). Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an oldfashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its followup The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.【】1、What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A、Twain's talent for selfteaching.B、Twain's “local colour” writing style.C、Twain's good sense of humour.D、Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.【】2、According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A、The deep social meaning.B、The exciting life experiences.C、The special way that Huck talks.D、The nice view of the Mississippi.【】3、Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”?A、At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B、At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C、At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D、At the beginning of Paragraph 5.【】4、What is the passage mainly about?A、Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B、Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C、Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D、Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7Rachel Carson(19071964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.【】1、What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A、She started to write books.B、She gave up working as a biologist.C、Her book The Sea Around Us sold well.D、Her book Silent Spring made her famous.【】2、What most probably made Rachel Carson leave her job?A、She got an award.B、She published Silent Spring.C、The Sea Around Us brought her enough money.D、The US government took notice of her researches.【】3、Why is the book Silent Spring important to America's environmental protection?A、It describes a silent spring.B、It topped the book sales lists.C、It changed how America thought about nature.D、It includes all Carson's research achievements.【】4、What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 mean?A、The book Silent Spring.B、The way America thought.C、The US Bureau of Fisheries.D、America's Environmental Protection Agency.【】5、Why was Rachel Carson awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom?A、She published the book Silent Spring.B、She did a lot of researches for the US Bureau of Fisheries.C、She donated much money to the Rachel Carson Book Prize.D、She made great contributions to the environmental protection.【参考答案】专项训练一人物故事Passage 1【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

2018年中考英语全国各地试卷汇编专题：任务型阅读（含答案和解析(2018江苏扬州)五、任务型阅读Beyond its influence on health, not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep. How much sleep do we actually need? It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24, we’re at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Sadly, there is no storage system for sleep in the brain. Can we train ourselves to need less sleep? As a study in 1964, a 17-year-old boy named Randy Garden stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could doanything close to that without dying? When you are reading this, you might say you usually get six hours of sleep and feel just fine. Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don’t get behind the wheel thinking they’re probably going to kill someone. Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping? Coffee can keep us awake. Remember, too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So limit coffee and avoid caffeine for hour to six hours before bedtime. Does a sense of purpose connect to sleep quality?A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher-quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habitsabove.

Their experiments show how we sometimes just do not see what is in front of our eyes because 4Here is one of their most famous experiments.

A lot of people still like to ride horses. And horse racing is also popular. So it is not surprising that Americans use this animal when they talk.Long ago, rich or important people rode horses which were very tall. Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I said, "Hold your horses. Wait until I finish what I am doing." My two boys like tocompete against each other and play in a noisy and not very careful way. I always tell them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt.Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favourite TV show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag (拖，拽) me away from the television. There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.Sometimes you get information straight from the horse's mouth. Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow.

'"I'm going for a swim," Ben said, "but you don't want to come. You want to work, don't you?It's much nicer!" Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said, "What is work?What do you call work?""Isn't that work?" Ben asked."Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You've never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!""Please, Tom. Let me do a little," said Ben."No, Ben. If you do, you'll do it wrong. You can't paint very well. '"I won't do it wrong. I'll be really careful. I'll give you my apple." Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad.

I reached out to touch theflowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn't help smelling them.Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenlyunderstood something.Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom；regretfully, I gave it away.In a way my life is like the jasmine plant.
