2019中考（人新）英语八上U5阅读练习及答案
A
There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands (品牌)We need to know how to make a sensible (明智的) choice when we shop.
Knowing how to make such choices is a "life skill", and we need these skills if we want to live useful and happy lives.
Most life skills are about making choices. Everyday we have to make many choices. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tasty? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I waste time? We make choices like this every day.
Making the wrong choices can bring unhappiness. We have realized that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you misbehave in class or fight with your brother or sister, think about this: who else does your choice affect?

C
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Last summer I sat at a long picnic table near a breathtaking mountain. While the parents were eating dinner, the kids ran up a trail in search of a secret fort. Twenty minutes later one excited little boy, James, interrupted the adult conversation.
“Mom, Mom, you can’t believe what we found!”
Lovingly, his mother smiled and whispered, “I can’t wait to hear, James, but grown-ups are talking, and there will be a pause in the conversation. Please wait for the pause.”
On my other side, another boy came running up to his mother with equal enthusiasm.
“Mom, Mom, we had so much fun—”
“I am talking! Don’t interrupt,” she said.
“But, Mom—”
“Be quiet! Can’t you see that I am talking??”
“But Mom we found the—”
“Shut up, Steve!” she yelled.
My heart sank. I knew what was coming. James, on my right, patiently waited for the pause, enthusiasm still alive and well. Steve, on my left, walked away from the table, looking shamed, carrying with him stories of secret forts never to be shared.
What markedly different messages to the child! “Wait for the pause” versus “Shut up” gets incorporated (包含)so differently into a child’s developing sense of self.
Harsh(刺耳的) words have bad effects. That’s why I want you to promise to delete the phrases “Shame on you” or “You should be ashamed” from your vocabul ary. I have seen countless patients whose parents’ thoughtless words echoed in their heads and chipped(消除) away at their self-worth, even decades later.
So we have to discipline ourselves to make our instructions constructive. One great tool is to look for positive behavior to reinforce. D on’t ignore the things that your kids are doing right. Thank your children. Tell them that you noticed how they waited patiently or cleared their plate without being asked. Chances are that they will do it again. Let them feel noticed, appreciated, and valued. There’s no better way to shape behavior.
1. Why does the writer tell us the story at the beginning?
A. To praise James’ mother.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To stress Steve’s bad manners.
D. To describe the beauty of nature.
2. The writer suggests parents not use harsh phrases such as “Shame on you” because_____.
A.they can show parents’ weakness
B.kids may be likely to copy them
C.their meanings are hard to understand
D.harsh words have bad effects on kids
3. Which of the following is not proper for parents when offering advice?
A.I like the way you deal with it.
B.Awesome, you just make it.
C.Fantastic!
D.Must I keep repeating?
4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Love kids through proper language
B. Let kids realize their mistakes alone
C. Never ignore kids’ mental growth
D. Learn to share secrets with kids
1. 答案：B。

推理判断题。

文章结构先叙后议, 先讲故事主要是为了引出下文要谈论的话题。

故答案为B。

2. 答案：D。

细节理解题。

根据文章倒数第三段内容Harsh words have bad effects可知。

3. 答案：D。

推理判断题。

结合文章主旨思想, 作者提倡对孩子要耐心, 要从正面去引导和强化, 故D答案不适合父母。

4. 答案：A。

文章标题题。

文章主要讲述父母在孩子的成长过程中要恰当使用一些鼓励性的语言来促进孩子成长, 而不是一棒子打死, 故答案为A。

D
Once upon a time, a tortoise lived in a pond(池塘) with two ducks. She enjoyed being with them because she could talk as much as she liked.
After many years, the pond became very low in a dry season and finally it dried up. The two ducks decided to fly to another place. They went to say goodbye to the tortoise.
“Oh, don't leave me behind!”begged(恳求) the tortoise. “Take me with you. I must die if I am left here.”
“”said the ducks. “How can we take you with us?”
Finally, the ducks had a nice idea. They said, “We will each take hold of one end of a stick, and you take the middle in your mouth. Then we will fly up in the air and carry you with us. But remember not to talk! If you open your mouth, you'll be lost.”
The tortoise said she would not say a word.
When they were above the treetops, the tortoise wanted to say, “How high we are!”But she remembered what the ducks said and kept still. When they passed the church(教堂), she wanted to say, “What is that which shines?”But she remembered what the ducks said and held her peace. Then they came over the village square. Many people looked up and shouted, “Look! The ducks are carrying a tortoise!”
The tortoise forgot everything and said, “Hush, you silly people! It's none of your business.”She opened her mouth and fell to the ground. And that was the end of the tortoise.
