一、中考英语阅读理解汇编

1．阅读理解

Each year, the US Social Security Administration （美国社会保障局）releases a list of the most popular baby names of the year. Nearly every US citizen is registered （登记） with the organization, making it easy to create an accurate （精确的） list.

The list reflects changes in society and culture over the years. For example, names such as Dorothy and Margaret （for girls）and Harold and Walter （for boys）were popular in the 1910s. But these days, these names are considered to be old-fashioned. Some even refer to them as "old people names". Other examples of these names include Gladys and Ethel （for girls）and Howard and Clarence （for boys）.

The list also shows which names are most common during a certain decade. For example, in the 1980s—when I was born—the most common name was Michael. It happens to be my name. But some more unusual names have increased in popularity in recent years. From 2016 to 2017, the names "Wells" and "Kairo" （for boys） and "Ensley" and "Oaklynn" （for girls） all became more popular. But these names are still quite rare compared with more common names.

Even pop culture can influence how popular names become. For example, the name "Isabella" saw a huge jump in popularity in 2009. This was because of the success of the Twilight film series, in which one of the main characters is named Isabella. But it's ordinary names like John and Jane that have always been popular and probably always will be.

2．阅读理解

I am Turere. I come from Kitengela, a farming community on the edge（边缘）of Nairobi National Park of Kenya（肯尼亚）. Since the age of nine. I have helped to look after my family's cows. As a child, in my free time. I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronic toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices（仪器） for my neighbors.

At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community. One night, a lion from the park came into my family's farm and killed one of our cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution

The first idea I got was to use fire, because I thought lions were scared of fire. But I came to realize that didn't really help, because it was even helping the lions to see through the cowshed （牛棚）. So I didn't give up. I continued.

And a second idea I got was to use a scarecrow（稻草人）. I was trying to trick the lions into thinking） that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever. They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here! So he jumps in and kills the animals.
