2016年中考英语 专题16 任务型阅读试题(含解析)

2016年中考英语 专题16 任务型阅读试题(含解析)

专题16 任务型阅读☞解读考点我国教育部颁发的《英语新课程标准》倡导任务型的教学模式,要求教师依据课程的总体目标并结合教学内容,灵活地和有创造性地使用教材,设计贴近学生实际的教学活动,吸引和组织他们积极参与,并在此过程中培养学生用英语解决实际问题的能力,让学生学会用英语“做事”。

任务型教学中包含的一个很重要的组成部分就是任务型阅读。

新课程背景下英语中考命题以全面地考查学生的综合语言运用能力为宗旨,特别是要考查学生在具体情境中运用英语知识与技能的能力。

任务型阅读正是新课程改革精神在中考中的体现。

直击考点任务型阅读任务型阅读是“阅读理解”的另一种形式,考查学生归纳概括能力和语篇结构理解能力。

其内容涉及广泛,要求学生在阅读理解的基础上,完成一项任务或解决一个问题。

所以“任务型阅读”是介于阅读理解和写作之间,其任务已不同于阅读理解中的选择题或书面表达,而是在理解文字的基础上,完成相应的图表或文字练习,从而有效地测试学生用英语“做事”的能力。

“任务型阅读”题型分析任务型阅读主要考查学生收集信息、整理信息的能力,是对语言应用能力的考查,是培养学生阅读兴趣的一种很好的题型。

它考查的题型多样,可以是翻译句子,也可以是改写句子,可以是填写表格,也可以是回答问题。

根据对任务设计的要求不同可将其分为三类:阅读回答问题根据短文内容回答问题是阅读理解的重要题型。

针对初中知识水平,问题设计一般比较简单,多数考题针对文章中的细节,答案都能在原文中找到出处。

最后一个问题通常为开放性题目,只要言之成理就能得分。

因为是问答题,所以一定要依据问句的形式和内容答题,解题时,要了解不同问题的回答方式。

通常第一道题都是一般疑问句,所以要用yes或no来回答;选择疑问句回答时不用Yes/No,需选择其中正确的一部分来作答;反义疑问句也用Yes或No来回答,但意思要视实际情况而定:前肯后否,正常回答;前否后肯,根据事实从后往前翻译。

如(1)They work hard,don’t they?他们努力工作,不是吗?Yes, they do.对,他们工作努力。

Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings.

These violins sound better than any other violin. They even sound better than the violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the Italian violins. But they aren't the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all the old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the correct answer.Other people think the secret to those violins is wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees. But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that it is the secret of the Italians. Possibly they understood more than us about how to cut the wood.Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists can make new ones which are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish (清漆). Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.(1)Violins first made in Cremona .A. are worse than the violins made todayB. are the same as the violins made todayC. sound better than the violins made todayD. have the same varnish as the violins made today(2)Why is the violin painted with the varnish?A.

Scientific ideas about violins made today.B. The ways of making good violins.C. The musical instruments.D. The old Italian violins.12.阅读理解Lately, people have entered the forests where chimpanzees live. The chimpanzees have been getting sick because of people's diseases. In addition, people are hunting chimpanzees. Their number is becoming smaller and smaller.Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of Africa. They eat many kinds of foods, from plant leaves and seeds to insects and even other small animals. Chimpanzees' favourite food is fruit.Chimpanzees are very clever and they can use tools well. They can catch bugs by using sticks, and break nuts by using rocks.The world's forests are much smaller than they were before. Roads were built in deep forests, so people start to enter the forests where chimpanzees live. That may lead to many problems. One problem for chimpanzees is that they can easily catch people's diseases and die. Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.As it's easier for people to enter forests, they hunt more often. Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific research. The young ones are taken away from the forests, and the adults are killed. Chimpanzees are likely to disappear in the future.(1)Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of .A. AfricaB. AsiaC.

He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle(摇篮), which was like a small bed.When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws(爪子) on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood (血) on Gelert's jaws(下巴) and head."What have you done?" the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them. "So you have killed my son?" the Prince said angrily. "You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword(剑) and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed (设法) to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog. The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt (没受伤). Near him was a dead wolf.

After this, the Prince never smiled again.

One of the interesting characteristicsof embroidery is the basic techniques or stitches (针法), such as the chain stitch, the buttonhole or the blanket stitch, the running stitch, the satin stitch and the cross stitch.

One day,as I was preparing the fruits. A little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years ol d,and the girl.five or six. They were looking the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),"They're good!" I knew it was French.Because I can speak and understand it.Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits.At first I thought she was really l ooking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together,I was sure she was blind.Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits .The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smil ed, and the daughter woul d put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age woul d be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn’t t ell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language .this is what I regret to this day.53.The women and her kids came to the market to buy .A.fruits B.vegetabl es C.candies D.toys54.According to what he saw, the writer was sure the mother couldn’t.A.speak B.see C.smell D.hear55.The writer was moved because .A.the mother was brave to face her problems.B.the kids were polite and kind to each otherC.the mother was careful in picking out thingsD.the kids were so willing to help their motherI remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades.When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted. I d escribed something like bikers wear. She listened long. I thought she und erstood for sure the kind I wanted.The next day when I got home from school, I discovered on my bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket sl owly, as if it were a stranger.From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the wardrobe(衣柜). I rushed and pull ed at the clothes in the wardrobe, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子), turning right and left. I looked ugly. I threw it on my brother's bed and l ooked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, l ooked at me for a l ong time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers l ooked my way and talked about how foolish I l ooked in my new jacket. When it was time for the whol e school to get together on the playground, ______. Although they didn't say out loud, "Man, that's ugly!" I heard their talk and even laughter.And so I went, in my jacket. So embarrassed(尴尬的), so hurt, I couldn't even do my lessons the rest of the day.

Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it.

Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.In the middle of the wall, there is a big "VICTORY". It was written in pen cil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences.

Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!If you "explore" the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can't understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom.

And, some day, I might be able to help you.""How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?" That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter's net. The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn't escape.When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed(咬)through the ropes to make a hole in the net.

This film shows Mei Lanfang's life.Mei, a master of Beijing opera, grew up in a family of Beijing opera performers. He began to perform on the stage(舞台)in 1904 when he was 10 years old. He learnt his acting skills and played female roles and became highly good at singing, dancing and acting. He turned himself into a performer of almost all types of the "Dan" female roles.In July 1937, the Japanese army occupied(占领) Beijing. The officer of the army told Mei to perform for them and promised to give him a lot of money. Mei refused to do so, and from then on, he gave up performing on stage during the war. This made him poor until the war ended in 1945.After 1949, he made the Dan have an important place in Beijing opera through many years of hard working. In his 50-year stage life, he used new acting skills and made lots of good operas. So he became the symbol of Beijing opera.(1)The movie Forever Enthralled shows the life of_________ .A. a famous actressB. a film directorC. an unknown film starD. a master of Beijing opera(2)During the war, Mei refused to appear on stage because he _______.A. had a lot of other things to doB. did not like to perform Beijing operaC. had enough money to live a good lifeD. hated performing for the Japanese army(3)How does the writer mainly introduce Mei's life in the passage?A.

Do they love the Backstreet Boys? Or do they dance with Eminem?Well, nearly 6,000 teens have taken part in a Teen & Music survey, made by the USA Weekend Magazine last autumn. And the result showed what type of music was hot and what was not.It comes without surprise that hip-hop and rap are the most popular types of music among American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s with young black kids in New York, taking music onto the streets. Hip -hop and rap are well-known for the break-dancing that goes withthem.The word "rap" comes from a slang word. It is a rapid rhyme that is spoken rather than sung.Pop music, such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, has always met the tastes of the general public. It continues to enjoy support from teens and is the second most popular music after hip-hop and rap.The third is rock music with exciting dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social problems. The melodies are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the USA in the early 1950s. The American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world famous rock artists.The survey also shows that jazz is least loved by American teens. It developed in the later part of the 19th century from a mixture of African songs and hymns. Jazz tends to be the type of music that people enjoy more as they get older.(1)American teenagers like best.A. hip-hop and rapB. pop musicC. rock musicD. jazz(2)Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys belong to .A. pop musicB. hip-hopC. rock musicD. jazz(3)In the later part of the 19th century developed .A. rapB. jazzC. the BeatlesD. the electric guitar(4)The main purpose of this passage is to tell the readers .A. about a study conducted among US teensB. what types of music are popular among US teensC. that both American and Chinese teens love musicD. that kids love different types of music because of the stars3.阅读理解Police aren't sure how else to explain it. But when a policeman walked into an apartment on Thursday night to answer a 911 call, a cat was lying by a telephone on the floor. The cat's owner, Gary, was on the ground near his bed having fallen out of his wheelchair.Gary said his cat, Tommy, must have hit the right buttons(按钮)to call 911. He said he couldn't get up because of great pain from his chest(胸口). He also couldn't reach the medicine on the table.The policeman, Patrick, said police got a 911 call from Gray's apartment, but there was no one on the phone. Police called back to make sure everything was OK, and when no one answered, they decided to check things out. That's why Patrick found Tommy next to the phone.Gary got the cat three years ago to help lower his blood pressure (压力). He trained him to call 911, but unsure if the training would work. The phone in the living room is always on the floor, and there are 12 small buttons including a speed dial (快捷键) for 911 right above the button for the speaker phone."He's my hero(英雄)." Gray said.(1)Who made a 911 call to the police?A. Gary.B. Patrick.C. The cat.D. Gary's neighbor.(2)The police got the call because ____________.A. someone broke into Gary's house through the windowB.

One of these, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that could fly. But they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly as well. An example was a man in England about 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings* from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building. As you can imagine, he did not fly very far. Instead he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real try took place in France in 1783. The two Montgolfier brothers knew that hot air rises. If they could fill a large balloon with hot air, they thought it would rise into the air and fly. They were right. They made a very large "hot air balloon" of cloth and paper. They filled it with hot air and the balloon rose two hundred metres into the air. It fell to earth about three kilometres away. In September of that year, both the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. We do not know what the passengers felt about the trip as they were a cock, a duck, and a sheep. But we do know that the trip lasted for 8 minutes and then the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted for twenty-five minutes and they traveled about 8 kilometers.(1)Leonardo da Vinci____________.A. made designs of flying machinesB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. drew many beautiful pictures of the birdsD. said that man would fly in the sky one day (2)Eight hundred years ago an Englishman____________.A. made a kind of flying machine himselfB. wanted to build a kind of hot air balloonC. tried to fly from a tall building on a large birdD. tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathers(3)The two Montgolfier brothers tried ____________at flying.A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four times(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Two Montgolfier BrothersB. The First Flying Hot Air BalloonC. The History of Man's Try at FlyingD. Man's First Successful Try at Flying5.阅读理解There are more than sixty cool places for kids in Virginia, and here are three of them.Busch Gardens is widely known for its roller coasters(过山车).

But now, most of them make much money by doing business. They believe that their island is a gift from nature and they give thanks to it every day. In 2003, President Hu Jintao came to visit the island and pointed out that the government of Zhanjiang should take the is land into a "civilized new ecotourism island"(文明生态旅游新海岛). Since then, the island has opened a new page in history.Today, the island has become a popular place for tourists. It takes you about 15 minutes to get there by boat from Maxie Pier(码头)near Haibin Park. But it is a just 8-minute boat ride from Zhanjiang Port Pier. In the resort(度假村), you can not only enjoy the fantastic sights but alsohave a lot of interesting things to do, like walking on the beach, visiting the museum and enjoying the delicious seafood.

Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, or when a friend borrows your favorite toy and then breaks it, you may get really angry.Usually your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone. But sometimes you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must go out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.When yon get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk about your anger with a parent or a teacher. When you talk, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1to 100; give someone a smile; go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.Remember that how you act when you are angry can make things better or worse. Don't let your anger control you.(1)You may not get angry when ___.A. there is too much homework on this weekendB. your favorite basketball team wins the gameC. a friend breaks your favorite thingD. your parents don't let you watch TV(2)From the passage, is NOT true when you're angry.A. You breathe fasterB. You have a red faceC. You have a stomachacheD. You want to help someone(3)When you are angry you can do everything except .A. go for a bike rideB. think about good thingsC. talk to a good friendD. say bad things to the people around you(4)The underlined word "anger" in the passage means ___ in Chinese.A. 愤怒B. 悲伤C. 忧虑D. 激动8.阅读理解Good health depends on good lifestyles(生活方式). Read the follow advice and it can help you have good health.Have a bedtime. Sleep is considered the third pillar(支柱)of health. As a result, getting enough sleep is important. One of the simplest things you can do to get enough sleep each night is to set a bedtime and follow it strictly.Cut out sugar where you can. I used to have a sweet tooth. If you put cupcakes, ice-cream or cookies in front of me, I'd certainly eat them. But the more I learned about how much sugar is bad for my health, the more I realized I had to cut out sugar of my everyday food. Now instead of juice and soda, I only drink water. And I'm always trying my best to stay away from sugar.Know when to stay off your phone. This is another thing I'm still trying to be better at. We're used to putting our eyes on those small screens. And we often forget something else that's more important. It's not friendly to let your friends wait while you are busy answering your e-mails.Cook food yourself. Salad looks healthy. But when it's made with sugar in a restaurant, it can be different. The same goes for any other food. So the best way to truly know what you're eating is to just make it yourself.(1)What kind of food might have less sugar and be better for people's health?A. Water and salad.B. Juice and cakes.C. Ice-cream and cookies.D. Cupcakes and soda.(2)Why is it better for you to cook food yourself?A. Because it can help me save, money.B. Because it can make me eat healthier food.C. Because it can help me eat more delicious food.D. Because it can make me eat food with less honey.(3)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Setting a bedtime can help you get enough sleep.B. If you want to be healthy, it's best not to eat sugar.C. We'd better use the phone to be friendly and healthy.D. The passage gives us four pieces of advice.(4)What's the main idea of the passage?A. Healthy food.B. Good lifestyles.C. Good actions.D. Home cooking. 9.阅读理解Medical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the UnitedStates, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.(1)This passage is probably taken from ________.A. a story bookB. a posterC. a science fictionD. a medical magazine (2)What's the best way to increase workers' effects?A. Talking with friends.B. Doing relaxing exercise.C. Laughing, smiling and crying.D. Having a rest for twenty or thirty minutes.(3)What will happen to the workers if they keep on working without any rest?A. They will get a lot of money.B. They will fail in their jobs and even cause a lot of trouble.C. They will live a happy life in the future.D. They will feel better after finishing everyday jobs.(4)The meaning of the underlined word "reducing" in the first paragraph is "________".A. 加大B. 缓解C. 产生D. 制造(5)The passage mainly talks about ________.A. taking a nap during the dayB. the disadvantages of taking a napC. Americans who don't have a nap during the weekendsD. the advantages of deep sleep10.阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming posters on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!(1)What does the writer do before he goes to sleep?A. He reads books.B. He reads newspapers.C. He looks through magazines.D. He looks at the posters on the wall.(2)When was paper first created?A. About 2,000 years ago.B. In the 19th century.C. About 1,000 years ago.D. In the 11th century.(3)Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?A. People could not read.B. People could not write words on paper.C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.D. People could only produce books one at a time by hand.(4)What happened after books became cheaper?A. People didn't want to buy books.B. Printing was invented in China.C. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.D. The Internet was introduced to people soon.【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】讲述了纸的起源,一开始的现状,讲述了纸和印刷术的发展过程。

The Vine That Ate the SouthKudzu is a fast-growing vine (蔓生植物)that covers a large area in the southern United States. It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didn't know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path (路径).In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast.In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil (土壤)from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after kudzu covers them because they cannot get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons (毒药)to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find the vine can be used to make paper and baskets, it can be used to feed the goats, and it can even be eaten by people. Scientists are studying it in the hope that the vine can be used as a medicine. At the very least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.(1)We can learn from the passage that ________.A. kudzu mostly grows in the northern AmericaB. kudzu was brought to Japan from AmericaC. kudzu grows very fast in warm and wet weatherD. American government has never supported to plant kudzu(2)The underlined word "tough" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________".A. not easily brokenB. widely usedC. hard to growD. important to one's health (3)The last paragraph is mostly about ________.A. how quickly the vine growsB. how people use the vineC. why people want to kill the vineD. why people eat the vine(4)The writer uses the title "The Vine That Ate the South" most probably to ________.A. let readers know that kudzu is a vineB. interest readers in a humorous wayC. tell readers the vine is a kind of foodD. get readers to realize the passage is serious【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)B(4)B【解析】【分析】文章大意:向大家介绍了Kudzu这种蔓生植物,覆盖了美国南部的大块地区,人们使用它的过程和历史,以及它的用途。

And he loves it.Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly(蝴蝶), once thought to have died out. T oday the butterfly is coming back —thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “ You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “ a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.“ I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “ So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat(栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.“ I saw the sign ‘ Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘ How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’” Bonner recalls. “ Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass(放大镜) , ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘ Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly needed help. That was how he metthe Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.1. When he was young, Arthur Bonner _______.A. broke the law and ended up in prisonB. was fond of shooting and hurt his momC. often laughed at people on the streetsD. often caught butterflies and took them home2. Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he _______.A. found the butterfly had died outB. won many prizes from his professorC. met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biologyD. collected butterflies and put them into a lab3.

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. A Promise to MomB. A Man Saved by ButterfliesC. A Story of ButterfliesD. A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni第二篇:Lions are opportunists.They prefer to eat without having to do too much work.When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on.If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves.A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding.Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.The lionesses (母狮) , being thinner and faster, are better hunters (猎手) than the males (雄狮).But the males don’t mind.After the kill they move in and take the best share.Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak.We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills.Roughly, it’s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second.The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other.After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another’s back.When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.1.By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author means to say that lions ____________ .A.are cruel animalsB.are clever animalsC.like to take advantage of other animalsD.like to take every chance to eat2.According to the text, which of the following is true?A.Lions make most kills in the daytime.B.Males care more about eating than active killing.C.Lions are curious about things happening around them.D.It doesn’t take lions too much time to make a kill.3.How can we know that lions are social animals?A.They depend on each other.B.They look after each other well.C.They readily share what they have.D.They enjoy each other’s company.4.What would be the best title for the text?A.Powerful LionsB.Lions at Work and PlayC.Lions, Social CatsD.Lions, Skilled Hunters>>>>>>参考答案<<<<<<第一篇:1.

Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90G of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life about sixteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much funnier. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant of a toy store in New York.It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 58th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls?

2016中考英语阅读理解答案解析

2016中考英语阅读理解答案解析:维持生态平衡的重要性It is important for us to keep the balance of nature.Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks were taking many of their chicken. The farmers didn’t know what to do. Finally they went to the country officials and asked for help.“Kill the hawks,” the officials said, “We will even pay for them,” so the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks.The farmers killed many hawks. They no longer had to worry about their chickens. But they now had a new worry. Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers’ grain.How did this happen?Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens. But the farmers didn’t know this. When they killed a lot of hawks, they changed the balance.When people move into a new place, they often destroy many wild plants. Often these plants are food for the animals. If the animals can’t find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave the place.In one part of the USA, for example the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses. The mountain lions there eat the deer. The number of deer, mountain lions and wild roses doesn’t change much if people leave things as they are.But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees. These trees were important to the farmers. So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees. Now the deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature.To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember.根据以上短文内容判断正误,正确的用“T”表示,错误的用“F”表示。

"What's the matter, my dear?" asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling."All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I'll have to go to school without a composition, for I won't copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me.""That's right," said her mother. "You'll be happier with a poor composition, if it's your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I'll call you in half an hour. Don't think about your composition now. Just have a good time."It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise.Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. "Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we'll talk about that later."Although Susie thought her mother's request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested.As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. "Oh, mother, what a sunset!""Don't talk. Just write."The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition!Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, "Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?""Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I've never thought of it once. I've had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window."Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, "There, Susie, that's a very nice composition, really.""A composition! Is that a composition?" Susie asked in surprise."Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it," replied her mother. Then she added, "I'm sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it's easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about."(1)Susie was unhappy when she came home because _____.A. she was punished by her teacherB. she couldn't write a compositionC. she forgot to take her composition homeD. she didn't get on well with her classmates(2)From the story we can know Susie's mother _____.A. had never understood her daughterB. had never talked with Susie's teacherC. knew how to write a good compositionD. wrote the composition for her daughter(3)The title of Susie's composition might be _____.A.

But I knew he was going to say a little to me. "I can't tell anything," he finally said. "I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can't say don't do this and do that, because everything is different and I don't know what is going to come up. I can't help much with money either, but I think things will work out. "He gave me a new check-book. "If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell." In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers' kids filled in the financial gaps."You know what you want to be, and they'll tell you what to take," my father went on. "When you get a job, be sure it's honest, and work hard." I knew that soon Iwould be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.He didn't say read this every morning. He just said, "This can help you if you will let it."Did it help?
