一、阅读理解1. Storytelling has caught the human imagination for thousands of years. People everywhere have told stories to amuse(消遣), to teach, toremember, and just to pass the time. People started telling stories long before writing was invented. 1 But people all over the world still tell one another stories out loud. A person who can tell a good story nearly always finds listeners.Before people developed writing, storytelling was the most important way to pass along information. Anything a culture wanted to protect—its beliefs, its history, and its traditions—had to be told out loud. Each generation would tell the culture’s stories to the next. 2 Knowledge passed on in this method is called the spoken tradition. Even cultures that know how to write still pass along some information in this way.3 In other cultures only special storytellers were trusted to do this important job. A culture’s best storytellers had good memories. Theycould also make the stories very interesting, so people would listen and remember them. Sometimes people would sing the stories or tell them in the form of poems. 4However, stories told aloud change over time as different people tell them. A storyteller might change a story in order to make it better. Or a teller may simply not remember all the details of a story. Unlike written stories, the spoken tradition is not created by any one person. 5 Sometimes the stories are collected and written down long after they have been created.A．In this way the stories were passed along.B．In some cultures everyone would pass along the stories.C．Soon storytelling became very popular all over the world.D．Songs and poems can both make stories easier to remember.E．Instead, a whole culture helps shape the changing stories in history.F．The spoken tradition is created by good storytellers rather than listeners.G．Today stories are also written down in books and acted out in movies, TV shows, and plays.2. One day, while my friend and I were traveling through Germany, we were very hungry but we didn’t have a lot of money. 1 I chosesome cookies and went to the front counter to pay. Near the counter I saw some packaged (包装好的) cookies in a large box. 2 I decided to take them instead so that we could save money.3 We found a quiet place under a tree and we ate our sandwiches first, and then the cookies. We thought they were great.“Let’s get these again,” I said. “ 4 ”My friend can read some German, but I can’t, so I gave her the package in order that she could look for the brand (品牌) name. 5“Why are you laughing?” I asked.“Because they’re dog biscuits!” she said.A．We left the store and looked for a place where we could eat.B．She looked at it and then started to laugh.C．We decided to stop at a small store to get some food.D．They’re cheap and they really taste good.E．More and more people will go there.F．She liked Germany very much.G．They looked good and were a lot cheaper than the ones I had in my hand.文章大意：本文主要介绍了一位中学生发明的环保垃圾袋，介绍了发明它的起因，它的用处等。

中考英语阅读理解题1Another ReasonIt was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back.

2010年海陵区初三英语总复习阅读理解（共20篇）（来自朱庄初中）（1）Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected the papers when the exam ended.‘That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral . We wanted to show students how important honesty is,’ said Cai Wenguo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.‘I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,’ said Lang Yu Dan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. ‘Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.’ said Hua Sha.‘I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,’ Liu Qing Xi said.‘I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them,’ Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ____________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in examsD. how to get higher marks ( )2. No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to __________.A. let the students have a good restB. teach the students in a better wayC. help all the students pass the examD. find whether the students were honest( )3. From what the students have said, we know ______________________A. invigilators really help them a lotB. not all of them agree with the headmasterC. something unusual never happens in examsD. no cheating will happen if teachers trust students( ) 4. The underlined word ‘invigilators’ in Paragraph 4 mean _______ in Chinese.A.监考人B. 监视器C. 阅卷人D. 调查者( ) 5. In the sentence ‘And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens ’ ‘they’ refers to __________.A. studentsB. headmastersC. invigilatorsD. monitors（2）It is important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us.Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more cleverly. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.Reuse You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example, give the clothes you do not use or the ones are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to young brothers or sisters.Recycle Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling we can save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted. The metal can be used to make new coke cans.Recover When you buy a box of apples, then there will be a few rotten () ones. You have two choices: one is to throw all the apples away; the other is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.Repair If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old things, or give it to people who can use it after repair it.Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let’s try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.( ) 6.

The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had given them a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble. Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They were polite, too. but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was guilty of a number of recent robberies. Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of stores. The note read, "I have a gun in my pocket. Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer."Fortunately, my friend's handwriting was quite unlike the thief’s.

Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the dome roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the bar.The sun heats（使变热）the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms.

He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise. He stood outside the classroom for a few minutes and looked inside through the window. He became angry at what he saw. Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.The headmaster knew what to do. He would go into the classroom, catch the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the others. He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. "Silence ! "he shouted at the top of his voice.This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the oldest-looking boy in the room, who was also the noisiest and had been shouting at others at the top of his voice.

She bas just become motherless.A few minutes ago, a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq(伊拉克).Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and dries towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down bythe war.And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.In southern parts of the country, like the second largest city, Basra, the UN is working to repair the damage(损失) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power to work again," said Geoffrey Keele, a UN spokesman.But little else can be done, in Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try.and let them escape the sound of bombing.

Five hopeful cities are waiting to find out where the 2012 Olympics will be held.Hosting is no easy work but it's a good chance for a country to attract tourists and make friends with people from all over the world.Two years ago, cities which were interested in hosting the Games enrolled(登记) their names. Later they handed in their reports to the International Olympic Committee(IOC,国际奥林匹克委员会). Nine cities hoped that they would have the honour. On May 18,2004, after the careful checking of each report, the IOC chose five cities: Paris, London, Moscow, Madrid(马德里) and New York City to be the possible cities to hold the 2012 Olympic Games.Since February, the IOC has visited these five cities, Moscow being the last; to hear each city's report as to how they will host the Games.Want to know the result?

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main useof coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can sendout a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger.

He had a n unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Micke y, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan , have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.( ) 16.

初中英语2023年中考专题训练阅读理解-记叙文篇(一)Located in Pennsylvania, US, Here With Us Farm is trying to help animals. Every morning, Amanda Clark checks on the cows, pigs and dogs. These animals were once mistreated (虐待).Because of the pandemic, the farm has been lonely for a long time. Many leisure activities (休闲活动) have been canceled. The animals have been missing visitors. A friend of Clark’s came up with a good idea to connect these animals with people. In March, 2020, the farm began to post the animals’ basic information online. People could visit the farm’s website and choose an animal to write to.“We wanted to give kids and our animals some joy,” Clark said. “Many kids have written to our animals. The most popular animals are Ronnie the cow, Chester the cow and Rosie the chick.”About 265 kilometers away, the Indraloka Animal Farm is also using pens and paper to connect people with its animals. Indra Lahiri, the owner, began rescuing animals in the late 1990s. She now keeps more than 300 animals.The farm’s pen pal program was started a few years ago. It used to be only for the children who had volunteered on the farm. After the pandemic broke out, the program began to be open to all children.In return for their letters, kids can receive photos and sometimes even works of art created by animals. “I believe the animals enjoy seeing the letters,” Lahiri said. “We read all the letters to them.

1. 七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入1~5小题横线上的最佳选项。

Be careful when throwing away wet waste. 1Shi Y uan, 14, from Shanghai Wenlai Middle School, has made a special bag to help solve this problem. 2 When one end of the tape is open, the bag can be turned upside down. By holding the tape, users can easily throw wet waste into a trash bin without getting their hands dirty.Shi came up with the idea after an unpleasant experience in which he once got wet waste all over his trousers while throwing it away. 3 He decided to solve the problem. At last he invented the special bag with the help of family members and his science teacher.To invent this is not easy. At first, the tape Shi used was a one-off(一次性) product. 4 So he kept on improving the design. A few months later, the boy got the idea of using weak glue, which allows the waste bag to be reused. He got the idea from Post-it notes(便利贴).5 He has already sold 2 million bags online. But Shi doesn’t think he has done a great thing, “I just enjoy the fun process.”A．Not only old grandmas but also young mothers like his bags.B．It wasn’t environmentally friendly.C．The bag will be widely used in the market.D．Shi’s bag has become popular both in local communities and on the Internet.E．The special plastic bag has a band of adhesive tape(一段胶带).F．Maybe these kinds of waste have made a big mess when you throw them away.G．He found that many other people were facing the same problem.2. The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 1 It’s similar to the music you listen to,but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.Quiet background music used to be called “elevator(电梯) music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 2If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.5 They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps themrelax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muza!A．Some people don’t like Muzak.B．The music gives them extra energy.C．Music is playing in the background.D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more.E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better.F．They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.3. Habits in RussiaThere is an old saying that says when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I learned the meaning of this when I stayed in Russia as a visiting scholar(学者).One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited about our meeting. We hada lively talk until the waiter told me that we were too loud. We lowered our voices. 1 The waiter came over to us two more times with the same message.How bad an impression(印象) we must have left on the local people! In China, it’s natural for a host(主人) to make a lively atmosphere(氛围). However, in Russia and Western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. 2I felt bad about this. 34 My Russian friend Andrew always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. Andrew said,“In Russia, people always spend about a minute going over things and plans in their minds before leaving home. So they won’t leave anything necessary behind.”5 I like to keep my eyes and mind open.A．But this didn’t last long.B．Russians have their own special habits, too.C．Russian people are usually careful and polite.D．You need to be polite to others.E．Luckily, people in Russia usually don’t mind that.F．Even though we tried our best, it’s very difficult to fight against habits.G．Finding the differences between cultures is so much fun.4. As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. 1 Let’s look at some words about animals and plants .Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have bad meanings. 2 In English, people use the dog to describe good actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes.3 But in Western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is unkind. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.4 People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flowers of England, America and many other countries.5 We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.A．However, Chinese love cats very much.B．Westerners love roses very much, while Chinese like peonies(牡丹).C．We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used.D．We can see similarities when we pay attention to the way words are used.E．The words about plants and animals are used in good or bad ways in different cultures.F．The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some Western countries.G．But in Western countries, dogs are considered to be honest and good friends of humans.5. Where do fruits and vegetables come from? When we go to the grocery store, there are shelves of carrots, lettuce, and broccoli. All of this produce comes from farms. Sometimes those farms are very far away. 1 The lettuce could be grown in Mexico. Trucks, ships, and pianes bring food from all over the world to a grocery store near you.But there are also farms close by. 2 His name was Barry Benepe, and he lived in New Y ork City. Grocery stores in New Y ork bought their vegetables from far away and didn’t want to buy vegetables from the nearby farms. Barry knew there had to be a way to sell local vegetables to New Yorkers. “What if the farmers could bring the vegetables to the city themselves?” he asked.3 At first the government had doubts. It wasn’t sure New Y orkers would care enough to buy the vegetables from local farmers instead of the grocery store. But Barry convinced the city officials, and they agreed to help. The new farmers’ market was called a “Greenmarket”.“The success of the market is touching and smelling the fruits and vegetables,” said Barry. New Y orkers agreed. 4 By 2013, New Y ork City had 54 farmers’ markets. They were in every part of the city and on every day of the week.Now the farmers’ markets in New Y ork City don’t just sell vegetables and fruits. 5 All of the foods at the farmers’ markets still come from farms that are close by. Not only does this help the farmers, it makes less pollution.A．Barry took his idea to the city government.B．However, people didn’t like the idea of buying local foods.C．What’s more, people were tired of going out and searching foods.D．They loved the Greenmarket so much that they wanted more farmers’ markets.E．For example, many of the grapes sold in the US are grown in South America.F．You can also buy meat, bread, yogurt, eggs, milk, vegetables and pastries.G．In the 1970s one man thought that we should be eating more food from local farms.6. It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. 1 Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.2 Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury(汞) and lead(铅) can be found in them. Every time an old computer breaks down it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present broken computer parts are usually buried.3 Many places in China are polluted by ewaste.4 This town is named as the ewaste capital of the world. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of ewaste each year from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in ewaste find their way into the environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.The Chinese government wants to develop a way that doesn’t do harm to the environment and people’s life. This year China passed a new environmental protection law which is the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. 5 Hopefully the problem with ewaste will be solved in the near future.A．Many people in Guangdong Province make money by dealing with ewaste.B．This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely.C．Such a thing can be found almost every day although it is against international laws.D．Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them.E．It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.F．The electronic waste is harmful to the environment.G．Things like these are called electronic waste or ewaste.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。

初中英语中考英语阅读理解训练的专项培优练习题(含答案一、中考英语阅读理解训练1．阅读理解How do you get to school every day? By bus or car? Song Kexin, a 14-year-old schoolgirl in Xiamen, prefers to go to school on her bike. "It's the quickest and easiest way to get to school," she said. "When there's a traffic jam, I feel the freedom while passing so many car lines."China was once known as the kingdom of bicycles. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. Last year, more bicycles were sold than cars in Europe, according to the BBC.Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health.Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. The popularity of cycling in many European countries is greatly because of bike-friendly policies.As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated（分离）as much as possible. On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while they are crossing.In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. You can start from three hours and the average price for a full day is 8 euros （66.8 yuan）.This year, in Ruian, there are also similar policies to hire public bikes. It's only 20 yuan for a full day. Do you see them around the city? It's important to be safe when you are cycling. If you remember the following ideas, you will be safer.■Although you may think a helmet（头盔）is not cool, it can protect your head if you fall down. Just choose the one that fits you best.■Stop at all stop signs and obey red lights just as cars do. It's a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossings by following traffic lights.■If you are cycling with friends, ride in a line. Don't ride with each other side by side.■Wearing headphones while you are biking is not a good idea. You need to hear what's going on around you.（1）Which of these advantages of cycling are NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Quick, easy and free.B. Safe, clean and cheap.C. Green, healthy and popular.D. Convenient, traditional and comfortable.（2）In Paragraph 5, the underlined word "They" refers to " ".A. pre-green lightsB. car traffic lightsC.
