这种阅读要求考生掌握事实、了解细节，同时也要求考生领会深层含义、把握主旨。

1．快读全文，掌握大意阅读理解与完形填空题一样，属“语篇理解”题型，宜先通读全文，初步了解短文的整体框架、主旨大意及作者意向，以获取主要信息和各段中心内容。

2．细读题目，有的放矢细读文后的题目在于审读这些题目是针对什么设计的。

带着问题进行有目的地阅读，可以边阅读边选出考查表层情况试题的答案，从而提高效率。

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

I would have to call again the next day instead.4When I arrived at the next house, I opened the doors of the van at the back. A heavy chair fell out onto my foot. Ooooooww! I jumped up and down the street on one leg. It was very painful! I was able to walk on one and a half feet up to the house with the chair.The afternoon was getting very hot.

专项训练七　节假日活动时间：8～10分钟/篇分值：2分/小题Passage 1(2018福州)In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a nonworking day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.( )1. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________．A. December 25thB.

At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!Tony( )1.

Most of the surveytakers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.Alexis said, “At school, I'm really tired, so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities.”Amy is in high school.

About half (52%) of the surveytakers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax. And that is exactly how it should be.But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance (平衡) between being busy and relaxing. Many thought that they would be too bored.How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are. Surveytakers in their early teens were more likely (可能的) to be bored.

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 reexperience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory willbe 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.

His fatherowned 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 oldfashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading andthinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its followup The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.( )1. What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A. Twain's talent for selfteaching.B. Twain's “local colour” writing style.C. Twain's good sense of humour.D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.( )2. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A. The deep social meaning.B. The exciting life experiences.C. The special way that Huck talks.D. The nice view of the Mississippi.( )3. Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”？A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.( )4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7(2018南京)Rachel Carson(19071964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a giftedwriter. 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.

2018年最新英语中考阅读理解专项练习(含答案)

中考题阅读理解___题组训练1_[名著阅读]A[2017·宿迁]Emily and Anne did know, of course. They had known about Charlotte's book for a long time. Jane Eyre was not the first book that Charlotte had sent to a publisher. Over a year ago she had written another book, The Professor, and sent it to one publisher after another. Each publisher had sent it back, in a packet addressed to Currer Bell. And then Charlotte had sent it, in the same old packet, to another publisher, and then another, and got it back again.“Why didn't you change the paper on the packet, my dear？” I asked.Charlotte smiled. “I didn't think of it, papa. The worst day was when we were in Manchester, going to the eye doctor. Do you remember? The packet came back then. That was the day before I started writing Jane Eyre.”“Do you mean that you started writing Jane Eyre while I was lying in the dark room in Manchester？”“That's right, papa.”“But that's only six months ago, and here is the book in my hand！”“Yes, papa. The book was printed a month later after I sent it to the publisher.”“My dear! They decided very quickly that they liked it, then！”“I think they did, papa. After all, it is a good book, isn't it？”She smiled at me. I don't think I have ever seen her so happy. She is a very small person, Charlotte, and not a beautiful woman; but when she smiles like that, her face shines like a fine painting. My wife used to look like that sometimes when I first met her.I took her hand in mine. “It is a very good book, my dear. I cannot tell you how proud I am.”She touched my hand. “Thank you, papa. But you must not be proud of me alone. You know, another two of your daughters—Anne and Emily…”“Oh no, Charlotte, please！” Emily said.But Charlotte did not stop. “Anne and Emily have written good books too, and their books will soon be published as well! Let me introduce them to you, papa. These young ladies—Anne and Emily, are “not”your daughters—they are separately Acton Bell and Ellis Bell, brothers of the famous writer Currer Bell！”Emily's face was bright red, but Anne and Charlotte started laughing. I was very surprised.“All three of you！” I said. “But…but why do you use these strange names？”“Because people are stupid, papa.”Anne said. “No one thinks women can write good books, so we have used men's names. And now they say that Currer Bell is a writer who understands women very well！” She laughed again.()1.Why didn't Charlotte change the paper on the packet?A．Because she hated to change the paper.B．Because she liked the paper very much.C．Because she had no money to buy the paper.D．Because she didn't think of changing the paper.()2.Which is the right time order of what happened in the story?a.

And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.“Where can we look for treasure？” asked Huck.“It's hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的) houses.”So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.“What is it？” whispered Huck, going white with fright.“Keep quiet! There's someone downstairs.”The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking.Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said：“It's time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery(抢劫)？”“Let's keep $30 each and leave the bag here.”The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs.Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.“What is it？” asked the other man.“It's a box，”said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys' tools, and they soon pulled out the box.“There's thousands of dollars there，”said Indian Joe.“The Murrell Gang used this area one summer，”said his partner.“They must have hidden their money here.”“What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury(埋) it again？”“No, someone might find it，”said Indian Joe.“Let's bury it in the number two den.”Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left. They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero”when he came to town and find out where the number two den was.()1.Where did the two boys go to find treasure one Saturday afternoon?A．To a haunted house.B．To a small island.C．To some dead trees.D．To a faraway den.()2.Who does the underlined word “He” refer to?A．Tom.

But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her …until one day a letter arrived.He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelop(信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read：Dear Huw，I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but …Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw：Best wishesMeganHe couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read：…After all these years, but I've just found your letter to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said, “__▲__，my girl. I told you he was no good.”Finally, after about a year, I believed him.But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyways, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for…everything.I hope that at least this letter reaches you.

One of the most hardhit groups in China were university users.Many students' graduation papers were locked.They felt nervous and frightened.Also many gas stations were seriously hit, and the payment system didn't work.WannaCry is the latest example of cyber security(网络安全) problem.Matthew Hickey(who set up the security company Hacker House) said, “The attack is not surprising.It shows that many organizations do not use updates(更新) fast enough.”According to a survey, nearly half of the people said, “We are not satisfied with the way software updates work.”As China Daily wrote, “We can't completely protect our computers against these kinds of viruses, as this cat and mouse game will continue forever.The best choice for most users is to take care online and always install(安装) software updates.”()1.If your papers are locked by WannaCry, how much do you need to pay to unlock them at first?A．$ 150.

When Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福) was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy，”he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe.Instead of playing, he observed(观察) nature and then read and wrote about it.Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This wasindeed “a loss to science”，Roosevelt said later.Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors.In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President.

It sounds crazy, but these computerdriven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near panies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors(感应器) all around which can find other cars and objects in the road.Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统) are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven(天堂)? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology.You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going.In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people—they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless puters would have difficulties making ethical (道德的) decisions: If a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun—I'd miss never driving a car myself.There would also be many other decisions to be made—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car—but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.()1.When using a driverless car, you need only ________．A．read the road signs carefullyB．check the camerasC．put the address into the computerD．remember the directions()2.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the ________ of driverless cars.A．instructions B．standardsC．advantages D．tests()3.The underlined word “potentially”in Paragraph 4 means ________．A．possibly B．successfullyC．especially D．naturally()4.What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?A．They'll cause more accidents.B．They'll be less expensive.C．They'll use less energy.D．They'll run much faster.B[2017·来宾]Teenager Tony was skiing(滑雪) with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis(滑雪板)．His family didn't know that he had a problem.They kept on skiing.When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Tony.Tony couldn't find his ski anywhere.In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain.But he couldn't work out the right way to go.It was now getting dark and it was far from any place of safety.He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures.But he kept calm.At home, Tony watched many TV programmes about living in difficult situations.He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew he should build a hole in the snow.He made a hole and pointed it upthe hill so the wind couldn't blow into it.Outside it was very cold, but inside Tony was safe from the cold.But he had to get down the mountain.The TV programmes always said, “If you are lost, you should find someone else's tracks(轨迹) through the snow and follow them.” So Tony found some ski tracks and followed them.Finally, he found some workers who came to save him.He was safe!

Well, obviously it's because we have mirror neurons （神经元）in our brains・Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports・ But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people・Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to （for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”），the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed （in this example, actually taking hold of a ball）.Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning （彳亍使职责）. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein's theory of relativity （相对论）was for physics・ And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does 一well, perhaps you'll understand why.4& Mirror neurons can explain _____ ・A.why we cry when we are hurtB.why we cough when we catch a coldC・ why wc smile when wc see someone else smileD・ why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49. The word "triggered" in Paragraph 3 probably means “A. set offB. cut offC. broken outD. found out50. We can learn from the passage that mirror neuronsA.relate to human behavior and communicationB.decide our knowledge and language abilitiesC・ result in bad behavior and social disordersD. control human actions and appearances51. What is the passage mainly about?A・ Ways to find mirror neurons. B.Problems of mirror neurons.C・ Discovery of mirror neurons. D. Functions of mirror neurons.参考答案48. C 49. A 50- A 51. D2West Park ZooWelcome to the zoo一the best place to learn about animals from all around the world.The Snake House.

2018年最新中考英语阅读理解专项练习(含答案)

阅读理解（一）APeople in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.Devon Fitzgerald say s he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. ―A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.‖ Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. ―It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.‖Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders.

Roger Rosas prefers riding a bike to driving a carD. people can easily get into an accident when riding togetherBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I was led to a room. No teacher yet. Girls talking. Boys trying to kill each other.I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.―What're you doing?‖ she said.―Writing to 100,‖ I replied.―Is that you can do?‖―No,‖ I said.Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to school or church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. But really, children's needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for ―Friendship‖. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.5.

My Best Friend JaneB. How to Choose FriendsC. My First Day at SchoolD. Friendship ValuesCThe winter of 1948 was very difficult for our family of eight living in Knoxvile, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us, ―Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?‖ he laughed.―No, sir,‖ I replied, ―We are finding coal.‖―Why doesn't your daddy buy coal? It's really dangerous here.‖―Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,‖ I answered.The fire man turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. ―Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.‖ Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. ―You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal.‖Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money.I never knew the person's full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.9. The winter was very difficult for the family because____________.A. the weather was colder than everB. they couldn't afford food or coalC. the writer's father was paid a littleD. they couldn't get help from the government10.

The writer wrote the story mainly to____________.A. tell us to be hopeful in times of difficulty, no matter how bad it isB. remember a difficult time during his childhoodC. show a little kindness can make a great difference to people in needD. show how he and his brother helped his family out（二）Dear Sir or Madam.One of the teachers at my school in New York tells me that your school has summer course. I am planning to go to Beijing next summer and would like to take a short one-month course.I am 18 years old and have been studying Chinese for six years. I was born in the USA and have never been to China before. I am going to study Chinese at the university.

Australia2. He was twelve yearsold when he started to_______.A. go to schoolB. learn ChineseC. study in ChinaD. travel in Beijing3. How many times has he been to China before?A. Once.B. Twice.C.

He will probably____ after the summer course.A. graduate from universityB. work in this schoolC. take a trip in BeijingD. post his application formMany kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes.In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. ―Running any kind of housework is a team effort,‖ Walton said. ―A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.‖Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. ―Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,‖ says Chris Bergman. ―And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ‖6. Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Washing the dishes.B. Cooking meals.C. Folding the clothes.D. Making the bed.7.

Which is the best title for the passage?A. Kids Should Study as Well as Doing HouseworkB. Let Children Do Some HouseworkC. Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing HouseworkD. Doing Housework Is Good for Children's StudyCLast summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.11. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?A. About 600 years.B. More than 600 years.C. 1,420 years.D. Over 10,000 years.12.

Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的)Build-A-Bears,the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteerteam to make a difference through the year.―I love making relationships with the people I serve,‖ Fredette said. ―The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool.‖Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing aself-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out i n her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a ―Dreamer & Doer‖ not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.4.

What can be the best title for the passage?A. Giving back to societyB. Getting on well with othersC. Providing a food bankD. Improving community collegesCMore Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public, allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yat-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. ―Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading,‖ said Wang.―They sometimes even b ring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest.‖Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior.Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the publ ic. ―I have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read,‖ Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration（专注）has influenced her. ―If too many strangers st ay here, the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly,‖ she said.Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certa in areas. ―We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,‖ said Zhu Lina, library director in Jinan University.Working together with the community library is another solution. ―It's possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet,‖ Ge Jianxiong, the library director in Fudan University said. ―We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home.‖8. We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .A. hates to study in the libraryB. prefers sightseeing to readingC. feels good to play with kidsD. is a university student aged 219. In Chen Jie's opinion, visitors to university libraries may .A. take up too much spaceB. break the peace thereC. make teachers relaxedD. get students to read more10. The writer mentions two libraries directors' words to help explain how to .A. manage libraries onlineB. keep the public politeC. share university librariesD. do scientific research11. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. A library guide.C. A story book.D. A notice board.DHave you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‗driving' would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I'd miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car – but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.12. When using a driverless car, you need only .A. read the road signs carefullyB. check the camerasC. put the address into the computerD. remember the directions13. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.A. instructionsB. standardsC. advantagesD. tests14. The underlined word ―potentially‖ in Paragraph 4 means ――.A. possiblyB. successfullyC. especiallyD. naturally15. What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?A. They'll cause more accidents.B. They'll be less expensive.C. They'll use less energy.D. They'll run much faster.（四）ALast year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, ―Why are you here?‖ I did not know how to answer the question.The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy. ―What are you doing right here, right now?‖ she said. ―You w ill never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!‖ ―Sorry,‖ he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about t his child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the supportfrom the teachers and community service workers like us.I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.1. How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School?A. By train.B. By car.C. By bus. C. By taxi.2. Why did the writer get angry?A. Because a boy held the writer's hands.B. Because the writer did not like to taste nature.C. Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground.D. Because a boy was impolite to the writer.3. The boy acted differently from others because _______.A. he was sickB. his parents didn't like himC. he was nervous and fearfulD. he always lived with teachers4. The underlined word ―abandoned‖ most probably means ―_______‖.A. hurtB. leftC. soldD. forgotten5. From the passage we can learn that the writer __________.A. helped so many people in the worldB. played with the lonely boy after lunchC. learned the meaning of community serviceD. wasn't good at answering the questions about community serviceBThe Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices（香料）,cloth, valuable stones and gold.There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers（士兵）travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures andcountries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路线）are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.6. How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover?A. About 3,000.B. Nearly 6,500.C. Almost 2,000.D. Over 35,000.7. Traders carried all kinds of goods along the Silk Road.

The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.C. Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road may be able to speak different languages.D. The objects in the museum in Jiuquan in China are from all along the Silk Road.10. Which part of a magazine can this passage come from?A. History and Geography.B. Sports World.C. Man and Animals.D.

2018年中考英语真题分类汇编题型3 阅读理解专项训练七节假日活动(含解析)

专项训练七节假日活动时间：8～10分钟/篇分值：2分/小题Passage 1(2018福州)In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a nonworking day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.( )1. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________．A. December 25thB.

The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especiallywine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper . When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me.

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

Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods：Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cae with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucy to cut it off.Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness.

They're not really bad guests, but because the guesthost relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes loo rude(粗鲁的)in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost lie gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quic to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother, a very ind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoe. When I see some of her guests smoing in her house, as a nonsmoer, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realie that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smoers, you should not smoe in their house. At the very least, you could as, “Is it O if I smoe？”But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoe.”In our culture, if you smoe in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoe in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt_to these habits very soon. Thanfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China, you probably won't need to change the guesthost relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have epected.( )1. Many foreigners thin that Chinese hosts are the________ in the world.A. bestB. worstC. most naturalD. most different( )2. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often________．A. buys some fruitB. feels lie a godC. wants some giftsD. taes a cup of tea( )3. If the writer's guests want to smoe in his house, what will he probably say?A. It's O if you smoe here.B. Let's smoe together.C. Sorry, you can't smoe here.D. Smoing is a bad habit.( )4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to”in the passage?A. thin bac toB. get used toC. loo forward toD. eep close to( )5. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.B. Hosts must do things in the guests' way.C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.D.

Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's destroy local businesses. However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesn't destroy local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic（经济的）connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren't destroyed.Whether you think globalization is good or bad,it affects the world in two areas:jobs and cultures.Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the would. For some workers, such as engineers, lawyers and bankers, globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully compete globally and have seen an increase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the service industry （at hotels, shops and restaurants）,it has not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This decreases the pay for that job, so people get paid less to do it.Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles, Indian curry and French cheeses h ave spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters(汉字)in tattoos(纹身). Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean. Globalization also affects the film industry. Most people have seen American movies. But because of globalization,Korean. Indian and Japanese movies have become more would wide.No one knows the future of globalization.

It makes it possible for you to think, Learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to heat --this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once called it " the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe".Can this small gray organ, which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly, your brain contains about 100 billion neurons(神经元) it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones inthe world. And although one Sumner creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb.So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your brain's unbelievable abilityto deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs.But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure (结构) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends "bike riding" messages again and again Soon, the actions are learned and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.( )42.
