山西省吕梁市中阳县2016中考英语阅读理解练习（4）及答案 【基础能力测试】 【实战训练】A （来自2016中考模拟训练） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 Forty years ago few people were brave enough to ask, “What will people do with a computer in the home?” That’s because computers then were usually huge mac hines and mostly used by governments and businesses .But on March 5th in 1975,32 men gathered to find answers to this question .It was the first meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club. Everyone in the club shared the same hobby—fitting together computer parts .The members of Homebrew differed in their levels for skill and experience. Some worked for computer companies .Some had just graduated from high school, and some just loved playing with electronics .They were all excited about the possibiliti es of the personal computer.____________After six months the group grew 100 members. Meetings were held in a spirit of fun and discovery .The people in the group didn’t care about making money. They just wanted to share their ideas—and computers parts—freely. They hoped that their dream of making low cost home computers would come true for common people. Without being prevented by the group’s fun-loving nature, many members went on to achieve great things. One of the youngest, Bob Lash, w ent on to invent several electronic medical machines. Another member, John Draper, developed one of the first word–processing programs. Somewhat in the Homebrew crowd sat perhaps its most famous member, Steve Wozniak. The young engineer seldom spoke during meetings .But when he first shared his idea for the Apple I computer, everyone paid attention. This computer helped point the way toward the future of low-cost, personal computers. And, of course, it resulted in Wozniak forming a partnership with the talented Steve Jobs. Although the Homebrew Computer Club stopped meeting in 1986, its influence lives on .Thanks to the Homebrew Computer Club, a great number of people today enjoy the convenience of personal computers.

中考英语阅读理解训练及答案 A We’ve talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells (壳) —sleeping. Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep. In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (触角), are very weak. But its sense (感觉) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens. A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin (大头针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
