中山市中考英语英语阅读理解(含答案)

一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷

1．阅读理解

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.

During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症).When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming(克服)difficulties and going for my dreams.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Clearly, he knew what he was talking about. He didn't mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me. When we finished talking, I pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming difficulties than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You won that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I received a letter from Matthew's parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:

Dear Rick,

My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don't have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.

I told you someday that I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Your friend,

Matthew

【解析】【分析】作者作为奥运冠军被邀请去见一个患肌肉萎缩症的孩子，这个孩子很积极乐观，认为自己能够获得奥运冠军。他用他的乐观诠释了生命的价值。说明他虽然残疾，不能得到奥运冠军，但是他的意志品质坚强，是个真正的冠军。

（1）C细节推理题。根据后面的句子“He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams.”说明他只是谈论了获胜以及成功的梦想，从来没有抱怨为什么是他患了这样的疾病，为什么是他如此的不幸，故C正确。

（2）B细节判断题。根据短文中的句子“I told you someday that I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that.”可知，马修并没有获得过自己的金牌。故答案B错误。

（3）D主旨大意题。本文主要向大家介绍了一个身残志坚、积极乐观的小男孩。作者很钦佩Matthew的那种身残志坚、积极与病魔作斗争的精神，故答案为D。

2．阅读理解

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree's life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
