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. They took off their shoes and dipped their feet in.D. They ignored it.答案：C。

I’m going to talk to you today about choosing journalism as a career.I always wanted to be a journalist. I started a newspaper at school and worked on a student newspaper at university. I got a job as a journalist as soon as I finished university and I love my job till today.Journalism is not for everyone. How can one be a good journalist?You need to write well. You need to write in a way that is interesting to your audience. As a journalist, you will have to write for different audiences, so you need to be able lo change your style as well.Journalists work very hard. It doesn’t matter if you are ab road, writing about a war or at home writing about local news. Journalists work long days and it can be very hard to find time to have a holiday.You also need to be strong. What do I mean by that? Well, not everyone will like what you write. Sometimes peo ple will say bad words about your work. You can’t be angry with these people. You have to try to take no notice of them and keep working.You have to be good at talking to people too. Journalists find out most of their information by talking to people. Not everyone wants to talk to a journalist so you need to get people to trust you.Being a journalist is a hard but great job.

It can fly at a speed of about 200 miles per hour. You might think a bird that could fly so fast would be safe from most types of danger. Unfortunately, that is not true. By the 1970s, they had already been endangered. What was causing the number of falcons to drop so quickly?In America, a pesticide, a chemical, called DDT was harming the falcon eggs. Luckily, DDT is no longer used. The number of falcons is rising now.One unusual thing about falcons is that they like to make their nests (巢) in high places. In nature, they often nest on mountaintops and on the sides of cliffs (悬崖). Falcons have also got used to life in cities. They nest on tall buildings and bridges in cities. The height of these nests is from 50 to 200 feet in the air.They also like to return to the same nesting place every year. Both the mother and father falcons help to raise the babies. The mother stays more time in the nest. The father hunts and brings back food for her and the babies.Many people all around the country work very hard to help falcons live to adulthood. There are even video cameras fixed up in many places. This way, people can make sure the birds and their eggs stay protected. Falcons are lucky to have so many people who keep an eye on them.5．What does the underlined word “pesticide” mean in Chinese?A．流感B．杀虫剂C．枪支D．捕猎网6．According to the text, we know that ________.A．falcons fly so fast that nothing can hurt themB．falcons suddenly died out in the year 1970C．people ca n’t find falcons’ nests in citiesD．baby falcons are brought up by their patents7．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of falcons?A．Nervous.

New research now suggests that has already happened over the past years.A study coming out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that in most poor countries, higher temperatures are more than 90% likely to have resulted in a fall in economic output（经济产量）, compared to a world without global（全球的）warming. The influence has been less big in richer countries—with some even benefiting（获益）from higher temperatures.“We’re not saying that global warming created inequality（不公平）,” says Noah S. Diffenbaugh, the writer of the study and a professor at Stanford University who studies climate change. But “global warming has slowed down the improvement”. The poore st countries are facing the worst influence of rising temperatures—for which they are least responsible, he adds.The new study builds on past research. A 2015 study in the journal Nature predicted that the average income（平均收入））in the poorest countries will be 25% lower by 2100 compared to aworld without warming, while some of the richest countries—like the USA—could experience an increase in income. And a report from IPCC, the UN’s climate science body, showed that if global temperatures rise more than 1.5℃ by the end of the century, poor countries will likely face very serious challenges, including the disappearance of whole communities and millions of early deaths. “They will suffer the most, as they are already,” said Mary Robinson, who used to be a UN Special Envoy on Climate Change and a president of Ireland.The influence is greater elsewhere, especially in Sub-Saharan, African countries including Sudan, Burkina Faso and Niger, where climate change has driven the average income more than 20% lower. “There are a number of ways by which temperature influences economic activities,” says Diffenbaugh What’s clear is that, for poor countries, the news is all bad.24．According to the text, warmer temperatures ________.A．are mainly caused by poor countries B．may bring advantages to rich countries C．had no influence on the world before D．can improve the poorest people’s health 25．What does “suffer” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese?A．供应B．犹豫C．遭受D．谋利26．Which of the following will face great economic problems caused by climate change? A．The UN. B．The USA．C．Ireland. D．Burkina Faso. 27．What is the main idea of the text?A．Climate change will make poor countries poorer.B．We must take action to deal with climate change.C．Climate change can cause millions of early deaths.D．People make good predictions about climate change.28．From which is the text most probably taken?A．A geography textbook. B．A health magazine.C．A research paper. D．A storybook.Passage 7Christmas was coming. There was a man in rags (衣衫褴褛) walking in a hurry on the road. You might think he was a beggar (乞讨者), but actually he was an artist. His name was Vincent Willem Van Gogh. With a painting he had just finished, the poor Vincent entered a painting store.“Can you buy this painting to help me pay the rent (房租)?” Vincent asked in a low voice. “I don’t really like your painting, but it is said that you are hard-working and I want to help you, Here is five francs (法郎),” the storekeeper answered.Although it was only five francs, Vincent was very happy. He took the money and said thanks, thinking that he could buy some food and pay the rent.Near his home, Vincent saw a little girl in old clothes standing in the snow.The girl smiled sadly at the artist asking for some help. Clearly, the girl was hungry and cold.“Poor child! I should help her,” he thought.Vincent put the five francs into the girl’s hands, completely forgetting that he still needed money to pay the rent. Before the girl said thanks to him, Vincent had hurried away with his empty stomach.29．The story happened in ________.A．spring B．summer C．autumn D．winter 30．Vincent Willem Van Gogh was a(n) ________.A．beggar B．artist C．farmer D．storekeeper 31．The storekeeper gave Vincent five francs because ________.A．he thought Vincent was a beggar B．he liked Vincent’s painting very much C．he wanted to help the hardworking man D．he wanted to make friends with Vincent 32．What did Vincent do to help the poor girl?A．He painted a picture for her. B．He paid the rent for the girl.C．He bought her some food and clothes.

Then you see how important water is in your daily life. While sometimes you have the idea, in many parts of the world, water is not just about one’s everyday needs.In countries like Tanzania, water is hard to get, and the job of collecting water falls on women’s shoulders. Girls often have to leave school to collect water, while their brothers stay at school studying. The girls spend more time collecting water. That means they have less time for learning.For these girls, “Knowledge is Power” is not just words; it’s a sad fact in real life. As they spend less time at school, they have fewer chances of getting good jobs, and they often have no choices on important matters, like who to marry. These girls are often married into poor families. They have little money or knowledge to take care of their children. For the baby girls who are lucky enough to survive(生存) , their life may be still around “water”, just like their mothers’.Choose the best choice according to what you read.9．What do the underlined words “the idea” mean?A．Water is important in one’s everyday life.B．Water is not just about one’s everyday needs.C．It’s nice to have a cool bath on a hot summer day.10．Collecting water is ________ job.A．men’s B．women’s C．boys’11．“Knowledge is Power” is ________ for Tanzanian girls.A．not just words B．a sad fact in real life C．both A and B12．Which is TRUE about the Tanzanian women according to the passage?A．They have many chances of getting good jobs.B．They often have choices on important matters.C．The baby girls’ life may be still just like their mothers’.13．What can we learn from the passage?A．The girls have a hard life in countries like Tanzania.B．Why it’s important to save water.C．How water may give a country power.Passage 4 （2021·湖北十堰·中考真题）A river is a flowing（流动的）, moving stream of water.

You often see the big colourful animals, like birds, rabbits, and fish. But look more closely. Can you see the small ones, too? Insects（昆虫）make up 80 percent of all the world’s living kinds. Look on the ground. Imagine you could look under the ground, too. Many small living things with one cell live there. Life is everywhere around us, in every cubic foot (a foot= 12 inches).David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot.So he made a 12inch cube with a green metal frame. And then he put it in five habitats（栖息地）. He chose a tropical rainforest（Costa Rica）, a coral reef（Pacific Ocean), the Table Mountain(South Africa), a freshwater river(USA), and a small park(New York). Three weeks were spent at each place. He watched, counted, and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size—that crawled（爬）or flew into the cube.The results were amazing. Liittschwager found both mon and rare living things. He discovered many new living kinds, like a strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail! In total, more than a thousand living things were photographed. Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like “finding treasure”. David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity（生物多样性）in the reef was in the skeleton coral（珊瑚遗骨）. These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow. Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity, all the other habitats were full of life. Even the city park!19．What does “one cubic foot” mean in Paragraph 2?A．1 inch x 1 inch B．1 inch x 1 inch x l inchC．12 inches x 12 inches D．12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches20．What did David Liittschwager think of the One Cubic Foot experience?A．It was valuable.

Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent, but there are more kinds of trees than any other area in the whole world.Tropical rainforests are in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Australia, and on the Pacific islands. The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon (亚马逊)Rainforest in South America, which covers 1. 2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometres. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa.Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is the “lungs of our planet” because itproduces 20%of the world’s oxygen (氧气). One fifth of the world’s fresh water is also found in the Ama zon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants and insects live in the Earth’s rainforests. 80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. 25%of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light. The under storey is the dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees. The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees.These different parts of a rainforest exist together to create an ecosystem for many animals, plants and human beings.23．This passage is mainly about ________.A．kinds of forest B．where rainforests areC．facts about rainforests D．how much oxygen rainforests make24．The Amazon Rainforest provides us with ________ percent of the wo rld’s oxygen.A．twenty B．twentyfive C．fifty D．eighty25．Where can we probably find a tropical rainforest according to the passage?A．In France.

The spacesbetween the grooves make different music as cars touch them. Thecloser the groves are, the louder the music will be..Bicycle in the treeOn Vashon Island, Washington, a bike is seen high up in a tree.The bike is not hanging on a branch（树枝）—it is fixed in the tree andthe tree has continued growing upwards. The tree grows around thebike instead of pushing it over, making it part of its growth.Underground cityIn Cappadocia, Turkey, a man knocked down a wall of his homeand discovered a huge underground city.

But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called “moonbows”. They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical （天文学的）conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.The moon has to be very low in the skyonly 42 degrees from the horizon （地平线）. The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearlyany bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moonbow using long exposure （长时间曝光）photography.Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; andWaimea in Hawaii, US.Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can’t miss it if you’re right there.30．According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are ________.A．created by sunlight B．much easier to findC．seen during the day D．more difficult to form31．Which of the following can be the conditions for a moonbow to form?A．A half moon hangs high in the bright sky.B．A full moon is 50 degrees from the horizon.C．A nearly full moon hangs low in the dark sky.D．Water drops are in the opposite direction of the sun.32．What does the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 3 probably me an?A．cover B．drop C．connect D．produce33．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．Conditions of moonbows. B．Background of moonbows.C．Locations of moonbows. D．Development of moonbows.Passage 9 （2021·浙江嘉兴·中考真题）The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health for example. This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin bee red. This is why we have the expression that someone “sees red” when they are angry.Plants also have pigments. Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects(昆虫), which then carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.Animals also use color for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators. The snowshoe hare for example, a type of wild rabbit, changes color with seasons for this reason.During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract(吸引) the animals they feed on.So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of color in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.34．Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ________ is/are the cause that makes human skin change color.A．feelings B．pigments C．blood D．sunshine35．According to Paragraph 3, plants can use ________ to attract insects.A．leaves B．fruits C．pollen D．color36．The underlined word “predators” in Paragraph 4 refers to animals which ________.A．hide in secret places B．kill other animals for foodC．change color with the sun D．protect themselves from danger37．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To describe animals’ ways of life.B．To encourage us to study color in nature.C．To introduce the uses of colors for life on earth. D．To explain the importance of protecting our planet.Passage 10 （2020·江苏宿迁·中考真题）Antarctica（南极洲）is at the southern end of the Earth. It is the coldest, driest and windiest place on our planet. What would it be like to live and work there?On Oct 15, 50 Chinese researchers took a ship named Xuelong 2 from Shenzhen to Antarctica. Xuelong 2 is the first icebreaker（破冰船）made in China. It took two years to build Xuelong 2. It is reported that Xuelong 2 is one of the world's best research icebreakers.Chinese researchers have been to Antarctica 35 times. Because of its unusual environment, researchers fromaround the world have been going there to do study（研究）for many years. Some studies can only be done in Antarctica. For example, there is little air pollution there. This makes it easier for scientists to study the weather, atmosphere（大气）and stars.The study of Antarctica's geology（地质）is also important. Rocks in Antarctica can tell us what the weather was like long time ago, and help us understand how the Earth has changed over time. There are also many wild animals, such as penguins（企鹅）, seals（海豹）and birds. Scientists can learn how animals live in cold places by studying them.Xie Zhouqing is a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China. He was part of China's15th research trip to Antarctica. He said, "Life in Antarctica is not easy. It is tiring and sometimes dangerous, but it is still quite fun. "He also said," I studied how penguins walk, what they eat, and why they move from one place to another. I was excited to see the cute animals playing around. I hope my studies can help protect them." 38．What can we know from the first three paragraphs?A．Antarctica is at the northern end of the Earth.B．There is plenty of air pollution in Antarctica.C．Xuelong 2 is the first icebreaker made in China.D．Chinese scientists have been to Antarctica 45 times.39．What does the underlined word "it" mean in the fifth paragraph?A．Life in Antarctica.B．Rocks in Antarctica.C．Fun in Antarctica.D．Danger in Antarctica.40．What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A．The weather in Antarctica hasn't changed over time.B．Xie Zhouqing mainly studied geology in Antarctica.C．Chinese researchers have done many studies in Antarctica.D．The study in Antarctica can't help protect penguins and seals.41．Where does the passage probably e from?A．A storybook.B．A cooking guide.C．A film review.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail(细节) of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been indentified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM，超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old，”she said. “That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too，” Rebecca said.“For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，”she added. “If it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”()1.

HSAM can greatly improve her living conditionsPassage 5Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer. He appears on television, he writes books, and he owns his own fashion house.Born in 1980, Carlton started designing clothes when he was eleven. His father owned a clothes store, and Carlton used to work there at the weekend. Then he did a design course at college.When he was 21, someone suggested doing a TV program.

Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an old-fashioned wa y of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of loca l people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.()1. What does the und erlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A. Twain's talent for self-teaching.B. Twain's “local colour” writing style.C. Twain's good sense of humour.D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.()2. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A. The deep social meaning.B. The exciting life experiences.C.

At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.()4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7Rachel Carson(1907-1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. Itdescribes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.()1. What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A.

【英语】初三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)一、英语阅读（日常生活类）1．阅读理解When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in orderthat they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough.We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed isnot the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can bea problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that childrencan wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in thelong term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals atthe same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.（1）The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……（2）The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions（3）According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.（4）Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. give an example of how to help developing countries（5）Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?A. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D（5）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了Nicholas Negroponte发明了一种便宜的手提电脑和循环使用手机来帮助发展中国家。

He then went to the market. However, he left the stick at home, which was far away from the shop.By the time the man returned to the market, the shop was closed.

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through whic h I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals (目标) like climbing the mountain. ” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience(耐力).Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the firs t few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing; but as time went by, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life. ”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence.

It’s also used to unloc k phones or doors.Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection (探测), is entering a new field: the business of advertising (广告).Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores. One facial detection system can judge (判断) a person’s “happiness” or “fear” level. Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses. If so, stores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards.

The wonderful program was presented by CCTV. In its first episode （集）, Fu Sheng’s story was turned into a stage show. After watching it, people not only showed great interest, but also were deeply moved by him. He lived a simple life and made his efforts to protect and pass on a country’s culture.The art director of the show is Tian Qinxin. It was not an easy task for him to turn an ancient classic into a one-hour stage show that connects with the people of today. However, he made it and the show received high praise from people.The TV show tells one classic Chinese book of ancient times in teaching episode, letting rich history shake hands with modern expressions. It is enjoyed by young people and makes classics “alive”.“Through the classics, we can see the foundations （基础）of modern China, ” said Tian. “No matter how the human history has developed, they still have a great influence on us.

Recently, he celebrated his 31st birthday. All his human friends wanted to make it a day to remember. On this special day, the seal got a large ice fish cake as a birthday gift.Yulelogs once lived in a marine park （海洋公园）in the north of England when he was just a baby. Later the park closed and he was put into the wild. However, after living with humans for years, Yulelogs was not ready to take care of himself. But he had good luck and was saved by an organization in England in 1993. He has lived there happily since then.Normally, male （雄性的）grey seals live to be around 25 years old in the wild, but under the good care of the organization, Yulelogs just turned 31. This birthday was a big milestone （里程碑）for him and the organization as well.To mark the milestone, workers there surprised him with a special gift—a large ice cake filled with delicious fish. Yulelogs was excited to see the cake, and he was there to show his joy. “Yulelogs really loved his birthday cake,” a worker said. “It’s also a challenge for him as it requires a bit of thinking on how to get the fish out of the cake!”35．Why was Yulelogs put into the wild?A．He liked living in the wild.B．The park that he once lived in closed.C．He was ready to take care of himself.36．What’s the right order of what happened to the seal?①He was put into the wild.②He was saved by an organization.③He lived in a marine park.A．①②③B．②③①C．③①②37．What can we infer （推断）from the passage?A．The birthday cake was made of ice and fish.B．Yulelogs may not have lived so long without the help of human.C．The seal’s 31st birthday was a milestone for him and the organization.38．What can be the best title of the passage?A．A seal’s birthday party.B．A marine park for seals.

Some of them can even drive themselves. Now, our roads have followed suit （跟着做）. In the United Kingdom alone, there are around 650 kilometers of “smart roads” in use. Across the world, many more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use.Roads that recharge（充电）Global warming has made us search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads? With the right technologies, cars around the world could be producing energy as they go. Piezoelectricity ads mix traditional asphalt（柏油）with new material. They use vibrations（振动）from passing cars to produce electricity. In fact, piezoelectricity is nothing new. It was invented in 1880. However, it has never been widely used before now. The UK’s Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store the electricity.Roads that never freeze________ A tech company in Israel has developed the Snowless roads. When they detect snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks.Built-in brainRoads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send them updates（实时信息）on weather and traffic jams, and recharge electric cars as they drive. This seems to be a dream, but one American company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can track（跟踪）the speed of each wheel. “We are basically making very large touchpads,” says Tim Sylvester, CEO of the company. “but instead of looking for fingers, our roads look for tires.” After having collected traffic data, the roads will send it to the drivers.40．According to the passage, “smart roads” ________.A．haven’t been developed yet B．have made cars drive themselvesC．have been widely built before D．have been used in some countries41．Which of the following sentences can be put in the “________”?A．Many people like to drive smart cars. B．This kind of roads can be frozen in winter.C．It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather D．To change the common ways of driving is necessary.42．What Tim Sylvester says is to explain ________.A．how the roads work B．what the roads can do C．how large the roads are D．how hard they work43．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The UK’s Lancaster University invented piezoelectricity.B．Tim Sylvester’s company has made the large touchpads to track tires.C．The Snowless Roads have been developed by a tech company in Israel.D．One American company has built roads that could store electricity by themselves.Passage 10 （2021·内蒙古呼和浩特·中考真题）It’s long been a scientific dream: to give people a special vaccine before birth to prevent them from getting terrible illnesses. Gene editing (基因编辑) is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some discussion.In an online video posted on Nov. 26, 2018, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies.The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV. The twins’ genes were edited in order to prevent them from suffering from the HIV virus.He said he chose to do this because HIV is widespread in China. “I feel such a strong duty not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example,” he told AP.But his actions caused many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical to use it on humans.Some believe that gene editing could be useful to HIV patients. HIV is “a large and growing pub lic health problem”, according to Harvard Medical School genetic professor George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “a good idea”, Church told AP.However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental periods and could result in terrible changes. “It could cause genetic problems later in life, including the development of cancer,” Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News.Others fear that people might use gene editing technology to make “designer (设计的)babies”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye colour to their IQ.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater unfairness than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, direc tor of the San Francisco Center for Genetics told BBC News.44．What do we know about He Jiankui?A．He was the first person to edit genes.B．He made the twins suffer from HIV when he edited their genes.C．He made the world’s first genetically edited babies.D．He was the first person whose genes were edited.45．Who agreed that gene editing could be helpful to HIV patients?A．George Church.

中考英语专项突破阅读理解精练15篇（1）During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, "Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day."So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from mo rning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.46. The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________.A. escape in itB. get to the other side of the islandC. use it for foodD. go around the island47. To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT _____________.A. keeping goats for milkB. making clothes from animal skinsC. working in the cornfieldsD. going fishing in the sea48. Why didn't the writer use his first canoe?A. Because it was too small for a long journey.B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.C. Because there was something wrong with it.D. Because the writer was busy building a second house.49. From the story, we can learn that _____________.A. the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the islandB. the writer had nothing to do on the wild islandC. the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failedD. the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedom50．What is the best word to describe the writer?A. excitedB. braveC. adventurousD. hard-working阅读理解答案：BDBDA根据2010江苏宿迁中考试卷阅读题改编（2）Thousands of people have been killed in a massive(大规模的) earthquake in Japan.

The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately（普通的）damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize（使降到最低）the effects of the disaster.

中考英语专项突破阅读理解精练（17）There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to u sing horses, carriages and bicycles.In the Second World War, some people didn't use gas made from petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn't g o fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can't cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity (电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and the y make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into th e mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?51.

No other bird could b e happier than the parrot.”The crow went off in search of the parrot and found it resting on the top of an old tree. The parrot explained, “I, too, was very happy until I chanced upon a peacock. My colours paled in parison to the peacock’s.

Hundreds of people gathered around to watch the peacock and its beautiful feathers. After the crowd had le ft, the crow rested itself on a rock and said, “Dear peacock, you are so beautiful. Every day, people e just to see you. People either drive me away or avoid me when they see me. You must be the happiest bird on the planet.”The peacock replied, “My beauty has forced me to be kept in this zoo. In the first few months I spent here, I often thought to myself that if I were a crow, I could be enjoying a carefree life outside.

Univ ersity officials are hoping that Mr. Paterno will continue his studies.But he isn’t so sure. “I have to say that in this moment, I don’t know whether I would keep on studying with the same spirit,” he said, adding that all the attention had made him a bi t tired.

阅读理解专题命题趋势1．阅读理解题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对阅读材料的评估能力。
试题中所选的阅读文章题材广泛，涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面。
体裁多样，包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格等各种文体。
2．中考对阅读理解的考查重点是：（1）根据上下文和构词法推断、理解生词的含义；（2）理解段落中句与句之间的逻辑关系；（3）归纳文章的主题，理解故事的情节，预测故事情节的发展和可能的结局；（4）根据不同的阅读目的，运用简单的阅读策略获取主要信息，按要求完成题目。
3．考查的方式主要有：判断正误型阅读理解，选择型阅读理解，任务型阅读理解。
题型解法题型1选择型阅读理解中考选择型阅读理解题主要考查学生的语篇阅读能力、分析能力和判断能力。
要求学生能较快地通过阅读理解短文大意，获取其中的主要信息，然后根据试题的要求从A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。
常见的主要有以下五种题型：1．细节理解题细节理解题属表层理解题范畴，难度较小，但是在整个阅读理解题中所占的比例最大。
细节理解题主要从文章的某个具体事实或细节出发来设计题目。
常见的设计方式有：以who，what，when，where，why（即五个“W” ）或how等特殊疑问词开头就某个细节进行提问；就文章具体内容进行简单计算、排序、识图等；以From the passage...，Accord ing to the passage...等提问方式开头，考查某一细节，对文章所给的选项进行正误判断。
这类题目的答案一般都能在文章中直接找到，做题前，可先浏览一下题目，然后带着问题快速阅读，找出能解决问题的有关信息。
但是一定要注意捕捉准确的信息，进行理解分析，去伪存真，否则会陷入题目设下的“陷阱”，受其迷惑而误选干扰项。
2．主旨大意题主旨大意题所提问题主要涉及文章的中心思想、主要内容、标题、作者的态度、目的、文章的语气等。
我们首先要找出文章的主题句，通常可以在以下几个地方找到文章的主题句：（1）位于一段开头的段首句，演绎型文章的主题句通常能在段落的起始部分找到；（2）位于一段结尾的段末句，归纳型文章的主题句通常能在段落的终结部分找到；（3）若既不在段首，也不在段末，我们就应细心地在这段的中心部分去寻找；（4）有的主题句通过某种表达方式或修辞手段委婉、含蓄地提出来，这称为暗示句。
这种暗示句通常难度较大，它可能不是一句完整的话而仅是一个词语，也可能是通过一些具有感情色彩的词语来表达的，还可能是通过字里行间来表达的。
主旨句的提问形式主要有：（1）The main idea of the passage is...（2）What's the main idea of the passage?（3）Which is the best title for the passage?在做主旨大意题时，我们一定要注意选项的内涵和外延必须能够恰如其分地概括文章的主题。
因此我们要善于捕捉文章中出现频率较高的中心词汇和段落的主题句。
在选择文章的最佳标题时，还要注意语言方面的特点：题目往往具有凝练、醒目的特点。
3．推理判断题推理判断题着重考查学生的逻辑思维能力，难度较大，涉及面较广，如人物的心理、故事的结局、文章的寓意、作者的态度或倾向等。
推理判断题的提问形式主要有：（1）We can learn from this passage that...（2）We can conclude from the passage that...（3）It can be seen from the passage that...（4）What is the real meaning of sb.'s words?推理判断题的答案往往在文章的字面上不会出现，必须依据已有信息来进行推理，不能脱离原文去主观臆断。
因此，在做推理判断题时，必须从原文里找到推断的依据。
这类题要求考生脱离字面理解的局限，透过文章的字里行间，对作者的话进行推理判断，领悟隐含在字里行间的内涵或哲理，体会作者的言外之意、弦外之音，从而获得对文章的深层理解。
4．词义猜测题词义猜测题旨在考查学生在特定语境中理解词（词语、句子）的能力。
其提问形式主要有：（1）The underlined sentence means ______ in this passage.（2）What does the underlined word mean in News 2?解答这类题目，必须认真阅读文章，通过上下文的联系，结合已有的知识猜测其在具体语境中的含义，下面介绍一些猜词的技巧：（1）通过因果关系猜词；（2）通过同义词和反义词的关系猜词；（3）通过构词法猜词；（4）通过定义或释义关系来推测词义；（5）通过句法功能来推测词义；（6）通过描述猜词。
5．图表说明题这是近几年各地比较受欢迎的一个题型。
涉及的内容有调查报告、广告、超市或服装店等服务性行业的促销活动，饭店、旅馆或学校以及公共场合的规章制度等等，内容非常广泛。
一般来说，这类题目看起来有点复杂，但是都不会太难，仔细阅读，都可以在表格内找到解决问题的信息；个别的题目会涉及一些运算，应特别细心。
选择型阅读理解的解题方法：（1）初读全文①一般应先通读整篇短文，初步了解短文整体框架、大意及作者意向，并在抓住主要信息及各段中心内容的同时，标出重要内容或有疑问的地方。
②也可以先快速浏览一下文章后面的题目，明确要求，以便快速阅读全文时留意或抓住重要材料及关键词语，做到心中有数，有的放矢。
（2）再读全文目的是加深对文章整体的把握以及对文章各段中心内容的理解，进一步思考并初步弄清或解决第一遍阅读时发现的疑问。
（3）细读试答在认真研读题目（“题干”和“选项”）、明确答题要求的基础上，再细读短文有关部分以便最后确定答案。
这一步至关重要，既要细心，又要在整体把握的层面上上下照应、前后联系。
一般来说，试题的先后次序与短文所述内容的次序基本上是一致的，因而答题应按试题的次序逐个去做，但是也有一些题目的设置与文章的先后顺序是不一致的。
答题原则应是先易后难，不会的题目放在最后做。
（4）复读核查试答完各题之后，再读一遍短文，瞻前顾后地逐一核对答案。
在这一步，应该充分利用和注意到各题目之间的相互关联或对应，要着力抓住起决定作用的关键题目。
关键题目正确与否会引起连锁反应，影响到读者对整篇文章的理解与把握。
因此，切莫忽视这一点。
