2025中考备考初中英语阅读理解人与自我主题语境相关真题精选专项训练AAuggie's StorySleepI'd been reading for over an hour and sleep still didn't come. It was almost two a. m. Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn't sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind.When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we'd been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn't know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It's so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that's the worst in your life, but to everybody else it's just a usual night.Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone's faces were the same. Mine was the same.But something was different. Something had changed.Home"So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?" I asked Mum."Whatever you want to talk about," she answered."Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time," I said. "I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me." "No, sweetie. Don't let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don't let them take that away from you, okay?""I know." I nodded. "But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?""There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie," she said, looking at me. "But I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care ofeach other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos. And those other kids.""Oh yeah, Miles and Henry," I answered. "They were amazing, too. It's very strange because Miles and Henry haven't even really been very nice to me at all during the year.""Sometimes people surprise us," she said, rubbing the top of my head.1.Why couldn't Auggie fall asleep?A. He kept thinking about something.B. He was doing bedtime reading.C. He was looking for his flashlight.D. He didn't like his sleeping bag.2.According to the first part, what was different at the camp?A. The sky.B. Auggie's face.C. The movie.D.

Jack would not be his friend any more4.What do we know about Miles and Henry?A. They ruined Auggie's whole trip.B. They took something away from Auggie.C. They were nice to Auggie this time.D. They were Auggie's best friends.BAs we know, eating vegetables is good for us. Why do some people like them but others don't? A new study has found that other people's likes and dislikes could be a reason. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show a clear dislike for them can influence others.People may make facial expressions (面部表情) when eating. How does it affect a person watching them? A team of scientists in the UK did a study. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating broccoli (西兰花). The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seemneutral (neither happy nor sad), or look disgusted.The study found that when people in the videos look disgusted while eating broccoli, people watching them began to like broccoli less. The opposite was not true, however. When someone had a smile while eating broccoli, people watching them did not like broccoli more.By watching others, humans learn which behaviors will be good for them. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that looks terrible. In this way, people can protect themselves from eating something bad or dangerous. The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children. This means, if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either.How does the behavior of adults influence children's choices of food? The team said they hope to understand more about it. This could help find ways to encourage children to eat more healthy foods.5.What does the underlined word "disgusted" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Excited.B. Amazed.C. Unhappy.D. Untidy.6.What's the result of the study?A. People may prefer the food others like.B. Children dislike eating certain vegetables.C. Young women are easily affected by others.D. People may not choose the food others dislike.7.The team may do further study on _________.A. the safety of children's foodB. the wish to understand childrenC. the influences of parents' behaviorD. the ways to produce healthy foods8.What is the best title of the text?A. Videos affect choices of foodB. Studies on vegetables help a lotC. Expressions prevent possible dangersD. Opinions on vegetables influence othersCRobotics Workshop for BeginnersOrganized by May Town Community ClubWe welcome children who are interested to build a mini robot during the summer holidays.

As one of the members of a pop group, Gill had lived a busy life but the farmgave him a way to relax.Although farming was new to him, Gill took the challenge and his experiences helpedhim write his book Ace and the Animal Heroes. The story follows Ace, whose lifechanges greatly when he moves to the countryside. After trying on a pair of magicalwellies (长筒靴), Ace realizes he can speak to the animals, who make up their minds toprotect the farm.Gill says that if he had his own pair of magical wellies, he would love to speak to wildlife, especially the wild deer(鹿) that sometimes appear near his farm. As they have no owners, Gill feels like he's sharing their home. "It's really interesting to hear what they're thinking and know where they're at," he said.Gill got his ideas for writing from the animals on his family farm. His children, Ace and Chiara, helped out withhis book. Together, Gill's family made sure that the pictures in the book looked like the animals they'd been based on. He said, "All of those have been really great to piece the whole book together."25.What did Gill decide to do ten years ago?A. Live a busy life.B. Start his own farm.C. Move to the city.D.

According to the United Nations (UN), every year around the world, about one billion (十亿) tons of food is wasted. At the same time, there are nearly one billion people who go hungry. Simply 1/4 of the food wasted is enough to keep them out of hunger. In addition, the wasted food produces over three billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), which speeds up climate (气候) change. What can we do to solve this food waste problem?One effective solution is balancing food production with demand (需求). In hotels and other similar places, special instruments should be used so that cooking specialists just prepare and cook food as it is ordered.Another effective solution is starting programs to reduce (减少) food waste. Stores and buyers can try their best to be creative in food waste reduction. For example, stores can provide customers with instructions telling them how to make full use of food. Buyers can try not fixing their eyes only on food of the best quality (质量). Sometimes, the food of non-top quality is also good enough to eat, or can be bought and then used to make delicious dishes.One of the hardest solutions to achieve is for each and every one to buy and prepare food with a plan of their own so that less food is wasted. Challenging as it is, the use of meal plans in preparing food can play an important role in ending food waste in the family.Food recycling is one of the known solutions. Efforts are now already in progress. Food that is not safe for humans to eat is recycled into other products such as animal feeds and clothing. Yet, there is still a long way to go and much for improvement in this area.In a word, food waste has been one of the biggest problems in the world that have influenced us greatly. Many solutions have been found and many more are yet to be worked out. If each of us can put in more efforts, food waste is sure to be reduced for the good of our future.29.According to the passage, what is a possible result of food waste?A. The problem of worldwide hunger.B. A big increase in food production.C. The speed-up of climate change.D. A sudden drop in population.30.What can we learn from the passage?A. Food recycling has been hugely successful.B. Buyers should give up non-top quality food.C. Stores should train people to make delicious dishes.D. Meal plans in the family are hard to put into practice.31.What is the passage mainly about?A. Benefits of reducing food waste.B. Solutions to the food waste problem.C. The importance of fighting food waste.D. The attitude to the food waste problem.IWhen considering the kind of experience that makes life better, most people first think that happiness depends on experiencing pleasure: good food, good jobs, all the comforts that money can buy. If we couldn't have these, we might as well sit in front of the television on a quiet evening.Pleasure is an important part of the quality of life, but by itself it doesn't bring happiness. When people think further about what makes a worthy life, they tend (倾向于) to move beyond pleasant memories and begin to remember other events, other experiences that overlap (有重叠) pleasurable ones but fall into a group with a separate name: enjoyment. Enjoyable events take place when people have not only satisfied a need or met someearlier expectation, but also achieved something unexpected.Enjoyment is characterized by a sense of curiosity, of achievement. Playing a tennis game that improves one's ability is enjoyable, as is reading a book that shows things in a new light, as is having a conversation that leads us to express ideas we didn't know we had. None of these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back on them afterwards, we would say, "That really was fun" and wish they would happen again. After an enjoyable event we know that we have changed, and grown.Experiences that give pleasure can also give enjoyment, but the two feelings are quite different. For example, everybody takes pleasure in eating. However, to enjoys food is more difficult—you have to pay enough attention to a meal, so as to sense and tell its various tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure without any psychic energy, while enjoyment happens only as a result of full attention. A person can feel pleasure without any effort, as long as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it's impossible to enjoy a tennis game or a book without full attention. It's for this reason that pleasure does not last long, nor does it make us grow. Growth requires full attention to goals that are new, that are relatively challenging.Without enjoyment, life will go on, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily on luck and the external (外部的) environment. To achieve personal control over the quality of experience, however, we need to learn how to build enjoyment into what happens day in, day out.32.You will most probably experience enjoyment when you ________.A. buy expensive shoesB. order a delicious mealC. talk with friends for new ideasD. sit quietly in front of a television33.What do you know about pleasure and enjoyment from the passage?A. Enjoyment grows out of pleasure.B. Pleasure and enjoyment come hand in hand.C. Pleasurable experiences are part of enjoyable ones.D. Some experiences provide both pleasure and enjoyment.34.The words "psychic energy" in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.A. attentionB. interestC. abilityD. knowledge35.The writer probably agrees that ________.A. feeling pleasure stops people from achieving growthB. feeling enjoyment comes with achieving growthC. a worthy life depends on luck and environmentD. pleasure is the key to a happy and worthy lifeJA young man with excellent grades wanted to get a job in a big company，He met the manager for the interview.The manager asked， "Who paid for your education？""My parents."

2024年人教版中考英语复习+阅读理解+专项训练(10篇)

九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第（一）篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1. Where did tea drinking start?A. In Japan.B. In China.C. In Turkey.D. In the UK.2.

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

The development of names.第（三）篇For 16-year-old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians (残奥运动员) all over the world. Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.”1. The violin performance made people feel __________.A. regret, hope and lightB. fear, warmth and hopeC. warmth, hope and lightD. pity, warmth and light2. How does the writer describe Ma’s difficulties in learning the violin?A. By questioning.B. By listing numbers.C. By offering advice.D. By giving examples.3. Which of the following is TRUE about Ma?A. Ma began to learn to play the piano at nine.B. In 2018, Ma got a chance to study music in Beijing.C. It was more challenging for Ma to learn the piano than the violin.D. Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.4. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. keep onB. end upC. take pride inD. look forward to5. Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第（四）篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1.

Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best. Finally, your dream will come true.”Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field.1. What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday?A. A letter.B.

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

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

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第（九）篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第（十）篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character.

Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen. Part of him felt disappointed that he couldn’t smell the sawdust (锯木) and gunpowder.When Steven was twelve, his parents bought an 8mm Kodak movie camera. Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America.

2025年中考备考专题初中英语阅读理解议论文真题精选专项训练

专题2025中考备考初中英语阅读理解议论文真题精选专项训练AWhen considering the kind of experience that makes life better, most people first think that happiness depends on experiencing pleasure: good food, good jobs, all the comforts that money can buy. If we couldn't have these, we might as well sit in front of the television on a quiet evening.Pleasure is an important part of the quality of life, but by itself it doesn't bring happiness. When people think further about what makes a worthy life, they tend (倾向于) to move beyond pleasant memories and begin to remember other events, other experiences that overlap (有重叠) pleasurable ones but fall into a group with a separate name: enjoyment. Enjoyable events take place when people have not only satisfied a need or met some earlier expectation, but also achieved something unexpected.Enjoyment is characterized by a sense of curiosity, of achievement. Playing a tennis game that improves one's ability is enjoyable, as is reading a book that shows things in a new light, as is having a conversation that leads us to express ideas we didn't know we had. None of these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back on them afterwards, we would say, "That really was fun" and wish they would happen again. After an enjoyable event we know that we have changed, and grown.Experiences that give pleasure can also give enjoyment, but the two feelings are quite different. For example, everybody takes pleasure in eating. However, to enjoys food is more difficult—you have to pay enough attention to a meal, so as to sense and tell its various tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure without any psychic energy, while enjoyment happens only as a result of full attention. A person can feel pleasure without any effort, as long as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it's impossible to enjoy a tennis game or a book without full attention. It's for this reason that pleasure does not last long, nor does it make us grow. Growth requires full attention to goals that are new, that are relatively challenging.Without enjoyment, life will go on, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily on luck and the external (外部的) environment. To achieve personal control over the quality of experience, however, we need to learn how to build enjoyment into what happens day in, day out.1.You will most probably experience enjoyment when you ________.A. buy expensive shoesB. order a delicious mealC. talk with friends for new ideasD. sit quietly in front of a television2.What do you know about pleasure and enjoyment from the passage?A. Enjoyment grows out of pleasure.B. Pleasure and enjoyment come hand in hand.C. Pleasurable experiences are part of enjoyable ones.D. Some experiences provide both pleasure and enjoyment.3.The words "psychic energy" in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.A. attentionB. interestC. abilityD. knowledge4.The writer probably agrees that ________.A. feeling pleasure stops people from achieving growthB. feeling enjoyment comes with achieving growthC. a worthy life depends on luck and environmentD. pleasure is the key to a happy and worthy lifeBComputer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind?For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don't need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face.Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate.To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave's robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!5.Why do scientists think a robot needs a face?A. It will become more beautiful.B. It can do better in lifting things.C. It will pay more attention to children.D. It can better communicate with people.6.What does the underlined word "creepy" mean in paragraph 2?A. Uncomfortable to look at.B. Impossible to touch.C. Boring to talk to.D. Difficult to understand.7.Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with?A. People should treat robots as humans.B. Robots need to express their own feelings.C. Robots shouldn't look too much like humans.D. People can easily accept robots with a human face.8.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain the reasons why robots should have faces.B. To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces.C. To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have.D. To show how scientists invent robots with different faces.CIs fake grass better than a living grass lawnWhat do you need to know ？• Fake grass is made from different types of plastics and used in gardens as well as sportsgrounds.• More and more people are using fake grass to replace living grass lawns （草坪） and cover other outdoor spaces.• One company selling fake grass has sold 50% more compared with last year.• Some people think fake grass is bad for wildlife and the environment ，and mustn't be sold.

中考英语阅读理解专项训练30题1<背景文章>Last weekend, I went on an exciting outdoor adventure with my friends. We decided to explore a nearby forest that we had heard was full of surprises. As we entered the forest, the fresh air and the sound of birds chirping filled our senses. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a beautiful pattern on the ground.We followed a narrow path that led us deeper into the forest. Along the way, we saw various kinds of plants and flowers. Some of them were so colorful and unique that we couldn't help but stop and admire them. We also came across a small stream that was crystal clear. The water was so cold and refreshing that we took off our shoes and dipped our feet in.After walking for a while, we reached a clearing where there was a large rock. We climbed up on the rock and had a picnic. We ate sandwiches, fruits, and drank juice. It was a perfect moment, surrounded by nature.As we continued our adventure, we stumbled upon an old abandoned cabin. It was a bit spooky, but we were brave enough to explore it. Inside, we found some old tools and a dusty book. It was like stepping back in time.Finally, as the sun began to set, we made our way back home. We weretired but happy, filled with memories of our amazing outdoor adventure.1. What did they do when they saw the small stream?A. They swam in it.B. They took pictures of it.C.

However, it was difficult to get back to normal (正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths.To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week.

However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early.Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time.Here are some other benefits of later school start times:More time for a healthy breakfastWhen running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits.With extra time before going to school, students can eat a well-balanced breakfast andfocus more on learning.Fewer behavioral (行为的) problemsTeens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness.When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They’re less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with.Better performance (表现) in studySleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn.In conclusion, starting school later helps students get a better night’s sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better.1．According to the passage, what may cause teenagers to stay up?（）A．Their low grades.B．Their empty stomachs.C．Their body’s sleep cycle.D．Their heavy homework.2．How can sleep loss influence students’ study?（）A．It gives them much energy.B．It does harm to the brain.C．It saves more time for study.D．It improves their memory.3．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?（）A．To explain reasons for students’ stress.B．To describe bad habits caused by sleep loss.C．To discuss scientists’ research on healthy food.D．To introduce benefits of later school start times.4．In which part of the website can you probably find this passage?（）A．Education.B．Fashion.C．Sports.D．Technology.（C）（2023·江苏苏州·统考中考真题）Confucianism (儒家思想) has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years.To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li.Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated).While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us.Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.1．Which are the most important of the Five Constants?（）A．Ren and yi.B．Ren and li.C．Li and xin.D．Yi and zhi.2．What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?（）A．博学于文，约之以礼。

With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greaterknowledge of how things work and who or what people were.Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen(加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want.

The answer is penicillin(青霉素). It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. She says you have a “staph” infection(葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Molds(霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can't see them.They're too small. There are thousands of different molds. Molds can make an experiment(实验) fail. That's why dishes are covered.Dr. Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germ. He worked for years. One day he took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth ofstaph germ. There was also some mold. Then he saw something strange. Where the mold was, th ere was no growth of staph. This is what Fleming probably thought. “By accident, I found a mold to kill the dreaded staph.”This is how penicillin was found. But here's the real miracle(奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of molds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mold must have fallen into the dish a few days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds(秒).

How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future，how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up，you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming(消费) things.Consuming products is not necessarily bad.However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school.You don't have to go toclass.However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping，no movies，no eating out.How would you spend your time? What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend.Perhaps you would help a child read.Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back，it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories.Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive.They don't come in a package.You make the experience yourself.For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience.The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly, when you have a conversation with a friend，you are actively creating an experience.The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else.However，if you watch a movie with a friend，you will each have apackaged experience.It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences.We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing.However, we can start a personal revolution(变革) against consumerism.How? By consuming less.We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction.Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.1．If consuming products takes too much time, we should .A．spend less moneyB．think about it carefullyC．organize our thingsD．go to convenience stores2．According to the passage, the writer believes that .A．we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB．buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC．the environment seldom influences our shopping choicesD．consuming experiences will be our most important memories3．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A．To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B．To encourage people to have more active experiences.C．To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior.D．To share his personal experience in consuming products.(十一)(2017·浙江丽水中考)Think of a simple object—a piece of chalk, for example. Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size? Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard? Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense.They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses.Then，messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short-term memory.It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long-term memory.Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in your long-term memory.To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape.Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and ughter also makes your brain more active.Also，don't forget to exercise.So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house.Finally, get plenty of sleep.This will make your memories grow stronger.When you want to remember new information, you must pay special e your senses—sight, smell, hearing and touch—and keep repeating the information.To do well in your exams this year，turn off the TV，silence your mobile，and review your work regularly.To remember something special, use your imagination to create visual(视觉的) connections.For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam.Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal，the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head.Your animalis hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips.It may sound crazy, but it's fun and it works. Another way is to do something different to your room.Turn a picture upside-down，or tie a sock around the door handle to remind(提醒) yourself of something to remember!1．At the beginning, the writer gives an example to ．A．lead in the topic of the articleB．show the importance of chalkC．let readers remember the wordD．make readers know his favorite2．How many ways are mentioned to have a good memory in Paragraph 2?A．2.B．3. C．4.D．5.3．The main idea of the third paragraph is .A．how to do well in examsB．how to remember new informationC．why to review your workD．what to eat to make memories stronger4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Memory has nothing to do with languages.B．Laughter can help to improve our memory.C．A picture of eating chips is the most useful.D．Our brain is difficult to keep in good shape.(十二)(2018·江苏宿迁中考)Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle(哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific(特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal(发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them—they get to eat some of the fish that escape(逃脱) from the net.1．What is a dolphin's “name”？A．It is a kind of game. B．It is a body sign.C．It is a dolphin's age.D．It is a specific sound.2．What does the underlined word “others” refer to?A．Other fishes. B．Other people.C．Other dolphins.D．Other games.3．What can we infer from the passage?A．Some scientists can understand dolphins system of sounds.B．Dolphins probably help fishermen by using their body language.C．Humans join dolphins' groups to get things we want.D．Dolphins can talk to humans about their age and their feelings.4．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Dolphins can communicate with each other at birth.B．Dolphins are social animals because they play together.C．Dolphins are smart and are like humans in some ways.D．Dolphins help humans do many things like catching fish.(十三)(2018·湖北宜昌中考)I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to control myself.Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. May be I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. “I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book！” But I didn't say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I。

It has greatly changed with thedevelopment of society.Walking was the main way until humans used animals to carry things. More than 5, 000 years ago people made the wheel successfully. This made it possible for animals to pull carts. People can travel faster. They also traveled by water, at first with simple wooden boat.The steam engine (蒸汽机) was invented in the 1700s. It was an important thing in transportation history and it led the transportation into the modern times. Steam-powered boats and ships could easily travel without wind. On land, inventors used it to drive trains. This made railroads develop fast. The late 1800s saw the first successful bicycles and cars. This made quick and easy transportation possible to more people than ever before. People who bought cars needed more and better roads.In 1903 Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the world’s first plane. The invention of the jet engine in the1940s made air travel the fastest transportation in history.The development of transportation has brought problems, however. Traffic jams, accidents and air pollution are becoming more and more serious. Choosing a green way to travel may be a thing we can do for the earth. Let’s do it!任务A：补全第1—4题的信息。

2025年中考备考专题初中英语阅读理解说明文真题精选专项训练

专题2025中考备考初中英语阅读理解说明文真题精选专项训练AThe scientific method is used for simple experiments that students may do in the classroom or very difficult experiments that scientists are doing all over the world.It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions.There are usually four steps in the scientific method，including observation（观察），hypothesis（假设），experiment，and conclusion.The steps may not always be completed in the same order，but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation.For example，you had a sick stomach，and ate a candy bar.An hour later，you observed that you felt much better.Here，you can ask a question，such as，"What makes a sick stomach feel better？"The second step is to state a possible answer to the question，or a hypothesis，such as， "______"A good hypothesis includes three things：The explanation for the observations，it is able to be tested，and it will usually predict new outcomes or conclusions.The third step is the experiment，to test the hypothesis.An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis.The hypothesis will then be true or false.The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion.The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not.If the results support the hypothesis，a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world.If it does not support the hypothesis，you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment.1.Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the passage？______A. How do the four basic steps in the scientific method work？B. What makes a good hypothesis based on the observation？C. The conclusion will always clearly support the hypothesis.D. Learning the scientific method may help students succeed in science.2.Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 3？______A. A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better.B. It was the medicine you took an hour earlier that made you feel better.C. Eat a candy bar again，and see what happens to your sick stomach.D. Ask people if eating a candy bar has made a sick stomach feel better.3.What does the underlined word " it" in the last paragraph refer to（指的是）？______A. the hypothesisB. the conclusionC. the questionD. the observation4.Which of the following sentences about the experiment is TRUE？______A. An experiment is a test to always support the hypothesis.B. An experiment does not have to be part of the scientific method.C. An experiment is a test to either challenge or support a hypothesis.D. An experiment is only used when scientists are trying to prove a hypothesis.BWhat would happen if you tried to blow a soap（肥皂） bubble in below-freezing weather？Would it freeze and fall to the ground？Would you have to hit it with a stone to break it？These questions came into my mind one cold winter day.It was too cold to play in the snow，but it was a perfect time to experiment with blowing frozen bubbles.To blow frozen bubbles，I had to wait until the air outside was very cold.For this activity，that meant 10 degrees below 0 Fahrenheit or colder.I didn't have the bubble things that come in a bottle，so I used dish-washingsoap.Adding a drop of glycerin made the soap work even better.I chose a place out of the wind，and blew bubbles the same way I always do.I watched to see what would happen.Here's what I learned.If the temperature is low enough，the skin of the bubble frosts（结霜） over，becoming cloudy instead of clear.And what about those rainbow swirls（漩涡状物体） that you see in soap bubbles？The rainbow colors stay even（均匀的） when the bubbles frost，but they don't spin anymore.The bubbles still float in the air.They don't fall to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.When these frozen bubbles break，they don't turn into tiny drops of soap as summer bubbles do.They turn into shiny rainbow pieces and fly slowly to the ground.Sometimes a frozen bubble will roll across the snow without breaking.If it breaks，it may leave a strong bubble skin on the ground.Leave the bubble alone and it may stay there for a long time.Sometimes could catch a bubble and hold it until the heat of my hand made it pop.I learned one other thing about blowing frozen bubbles.It's so much fun.I want to try it again next year!5.How does the writer begin the passage？______A. By comparing two types of bubbles.B. By describing the freezing cold weather.C. By asking some questions about the subject.D. By presenting the tools needed to do the experiment.6.What is this passage mainly about？______A. Making soap that can work even better.B. Making bubbles that will stay longer.C. Inventing a new kind of soap that makes clearer bubbles.D. Finding out what happens to bubbles in freezing temperatures.7.According to the passage，what will happen if you blow frozen soap bubbles？______A. Cold enough，the skin of the bubbles will stay clear.B. When the bubbles frost，the rainbow colors will spin faster.C. A frozen bubble may roll across the snow without breaking.D. When these frozen bubbles break，they turn into tiny drops of soap.8.What is the best title for the passage？______A. A science clubB. Broken bubblesC. A happy childD. Frozen bubblesCIf you grew up in an unusual family and felt limited by heavy thoughts, how would you change your life story? In the book Educated, the US writer Tara Westover shows us how she deals with hard times.The book talks about Westover's life. Her father had a junkyard (废品场) in Idaho, US. It's a very smallmountain village. Tara and her brothers and sisters worked every day. Before she turned 17, she had never traveled outside. None of the kids in her family had ever been to a school or a hospital. As she got older, she felt that she needed to get away from this uncomfortable situation. Luckily, Westover's older brother taught her to read. With hard work, Westover went to college on a scholarship, and later got a PhD (博士学位) in History at Cambridge University.Education changed her, her life, her way of thinking and even her luck. After reading the book, I come to feel the deepest thanks for my own family, and the education I got. Education allows girls like Westover to fly like birds toward their own goals. It allows us to get a different view, find new experiences, better understand others and explore the wider world. I wish for all of us to be like free and powerful birds, growing and changing through challenges and difficulties.9.What's the writing purpose of paragraph 1?A. To attract readers' interest.B.

We have seen many people from around the world express their love for Chinese culture in different forms. A growing number of foreigners have even chosen to live in China for its culture.Interested in Chinese classical literature, Canadian artist Brandon Collins-Green or Lin Buran in Chinese expresses his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. Often painting throughout the night, he has created more than 4,200 works. Living alone in the center of Nanchang, he has come a long way since he first came here in 2015 to study ancient Chinese literature.Brandon loves learning about the lifestyle of ancient Chinese people. "So far, I have read the novel three times, translated most of its poems, songs, lantern riddles (谜语), and dialogues into English, and completed over 1 million words of articles and 2,000 related paintings during my PhD studies," said Brandon with pride and satisfaction.Timur Kuvatov, director-general and editor-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Today News Agency, is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu championships a lot of times and also served as a coach for the Kazakhstan kung fu team. "Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture. It is not just a sport but also reflects the Chinese way of dealing with people, their understanding of life, nature, and the world," he said.Vincent Cazeneuve, known as Wensen Qi in Chinese, is a French artist devoted to lacquer (漆器) creation. He came to live in Chongqing in 2009. His works have been shown in art institutions both in and outside of China, and his fans have even collected some of them.What is the charm of Chinese culture that attracts these people? It lies in its richness and openness. Also its cultural background differences make foreigners curious about the lifestyles, way of thinking, and values of the country.13.What has Brandon done to express his love for Chinese culture?A.

Walking from the car into the mall doesn't count.Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV.You may say, "I play inside more than outside and I like to play games on the computer."If so, it's likely that you spent more time inside four walls than outside in fresh air. Kids today spend two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago. That's according to a University of Michigan study. Non-moving activities are more popular. The costs "include overweight, greater stress, higher rates of physical and emotional illness and less joy…," says Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder.Play is important, even for adults. ▲Outdoor activity betters your senses. The next time you sit down to message your friends, take note of your senses during and after your texting. Then do the same experiment after you've done something outside. You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life. "Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses," says Betsy Keller. She's a professor of exercise and sports sciences at Ithaca College in New York. "Smell, sight... all of your senses are in use when you're outside."Outdoor play frees your mind. Are you stressed out? Having trouble devoting your mind to what you're doing?Too much time indoors — away from the natural world — may be a cause. Louv uses a term to describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature deficit disorder. He says, "I use it to describe the price we pay for being so separated from nature."Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. When you're out, breathe in fresh air, hear the leaves crackle underfoot and search cool birds and plants in the woods. It can help you feel more connected to the natural world. No woods nearby? Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park.So the next time you sit down to spend quality time with a video game, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.23.How does the writer first introduce the topic of outdoor play?A. By presenting the results of a recent study.B. By introducing different kinds of outdoor play.C. By inviting the reader to think about his or her own case.D. By telling the reader outdoor play is good for body and mind.24.Which sentence should go in ▲ in Paragraph 5?A. Outdoor play helps form relationships.B. Just getting outdoors does wonders.C. Nature can remind us of life beyond our worries.D. The outdoors is the best place to practise physical skills.25.Which word is closest to the meaning of "hone" in Paragraph 6?A. improveB. limitC. produceD. organize26.Which of the following is a good way to enjoy outdoor play?A. Walking from your car into the mall.B. Spending your quality time with TV drama series.C. Playing a video game of making sandcastles by the beach.D. Watching in your local park how fast the clouds are moving.HNature is amazing!Take a close look at the world of insects （昆虫），you'll discover many unbelievable things.Consider butterflies，for example.They have beautiful，colorful wings，and strong，fantastic flying skills.On summer days，you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields.But，did you know how butterflies become the lying insects？It's one of the amazing wonders of nature.In the beginning，female butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf or stem （茎） of a plant.It's hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days.It becomes a walking insect.This insect is called caterpillar.It now has legs，eyes and a large body.A new life has begun.The caterpillar can eat，walk and see.But it is still not a butterfly.Soon，after growing big，the caterpillar makes a cover for itself.It covers itself in the nice protective blanket （保护层） and goes to sleep.This stage is known as the"pupa （蛹）" stage.After a period of time，the blanket breaks and a wet，weak butterfly appears.It now has six legs，a mouth，eyes and wings.Shortly，the wings fill with blood，and the beautiful，colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.After a few weeks，this adult butterfly lays her eggs，and the cycle begins all over again.This is just one example of the wonders of nature.Look around the natural world，and you will learn many truly amazing things.27.What is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1？______A. Butterflies are a kind of insect.B. Butterflies are good at flying.C. Butterflies have colorful wings.D. Butterflies have a good sense of smell.28.What does the underlined word "caterpillar" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese？______A. 幼虫B. 雏鸟C. 飞蛾D. 蝴蝶29.What is the right order of the development process （发育过程） of a butterfly？______①It becomes a pupa.②It becomes a walking insect.③Female butterflies lay an egg.④It spreads wings and flies away.A. ①→②→③→④B. ①→②→④→③C. ③→②→①→④D. ③→②→④→①30.Which of the following best describes a butterfly after the blanket breaks？______A.

I thought for a moment and then smiledbecause I didn’t know what to say.Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However ,in China ,girls tryevery possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.”I also surprised by how hard-working .US students are .In China, schoolwork is almost everything ,so we studyhard and that’ it. But here,a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports ormusic.The kids here are so talented ,I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age andthat I have never thought about sports.61.According to the writer, textbook English is _________everyday English.A. quite different fromB. the same asC. more difficult than62.What does the word “tan ”in th e sixth paragraph mean in Chinese?A晒黑B晒白 C 能量63.A good US student spends his/her time ________.A. only in doing homeworkB. only on sports or musicC. on studies ,sports or music and public work64.Which of the following is NOT true?A.

My Studying in the USC. My Opinion about the US答案:AACBB（2010江苏省南京市三、阅读理解D,10分）People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important andpersonal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather thanflats, and many people own their homes.This means that they can make them individual（个体的）;they can paint them, and change them in any way theylike. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house andthe garden are the private（私人的）space of the individual. People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked thespace around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat besideyou. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us.The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the wholetable. I had read a book about non-verbal communications o I took various papers out of my bag and put them onhis briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved hiscase to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look muchthe same in every country in the world. All day long ,you share public spaces with other people. You see thelocal people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their privatespac es by talking about things you don’t know about .And you evenfeel that they like you to be outside themso that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if youunderstand it then it helps you .Ha ven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?41.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because______.A. he had no place to sitB. someone had invaded his “space”C. too many people shared a section with himD. some other people talked about things he didn’t know about42. “… you feel lonely and ‘outside’”in paragraph 4 means that_______.A. you are alone outside the houseB. you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD. you feel lonely and you don’t belong to that place or that group of people43.In Paragraph 4 ,the pronoun “them’refers to（所指）“___________”.A. public spacesB. private spacesC. local peopleD. other countries44.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my studentshad said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them whatthey were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “Ilove you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed bygod jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes overtime. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with theirmoms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met herat the door and hugged（拥抱）her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone Ihave more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided itwas a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having greatdepth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little wordscarry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we sayto or hear from those we love.52.The foreign teacher_______.A. comes from AmericaB. is a young womanC. is expressive enoughD. knows much about China53.Chinese people prefer to show love by________.A. saying “I love you”B. cookingC. getting good gradesD. doing something helpful;54.In paragraph 4,what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?A.

Say “I love you ”without great depth of feelings.答案:CDBA（2010湖南省娄底市）阅读下面的短文，并做后面的题目，从A、B、C 3个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成句子的最佳答案。
