1.When I was ten, my sisters and I were amazed at our neighbor’s Christmas tree. We returned home from their house and decided that we must have one of our own. In our house we never had enough money for a Christmas tree.
In fact, we insisted(坚持) so much that my father had no choice but to agree. “Yes!” he finally said.“This year we will have a Christmas tree.” Our mouths dropped open at the thought of having our own tree. Then Dad said,“I’ll do it myself.”
We followed him around the house as he gathered up the materials（材料）he would need, We all sat close to him, carefully watching everything he did. He passed the thread（线）around the first nail （钉子）on the corner of a box, then back down to the second nail on the box, and up again to the nail, until right there before our eyes a green Christmas tree began to take shape. He carefully did the same with all of the 50 nails in the box and when he had finished, he said,“Now you can decorate it.”
I don’t remember where the decorations came from, but they were red and small and to us they just looked so beautiful and perfect for our tree. When we finished decorating it, we proudly invited all our friends over to see our Christmas tree. We were so happy, not only because it looked so pretty, but because my father had made it himself. It truly was the most beautiful Christmas tree we had ever seen.
Years later, things got better and Dad was able to buy a proper Christmas tree which we would happily decorate. However, my sisters and I will never forget the night when we got our first Christmas tree.

3.From Baby’s Doodles (乱涂) to Mother’s Paintings
It all started by accident (偶然) when Eve discovered her mother’s ink pen and loved using it. Eve’s mother, Ruth is so artistic that she is able to change Eve’s random (随意的) lines into shapes which are easily recognized (辨认). A random curve (曲线) becomes an elephant’s ear, and crooked (弯曲的) lines become the branches of a tree. Nothing seems to escape her eye — she can see and paint the outline of a woman’s face or the hooked nose of a bird where most people would just see meaningless scratches (乱涂乱画).
Since then, the mother and daughter have worked together on several quite attractive pieces. The process begins with Eve using a black ink pen to make her “sketches” (草图). Later, Ruth takes over with her water-colours, quickly turning the doodles into a “grown-up” painting.
“All of the pieces are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, the reason for this is that I don’t want to give myself any room to over analyze (过度分析) or second guess,” Ruth wrote on her blog. According to Ruth, children can help bring out creativity in adults. “As we get older, we tend to (趋向于) create a box that everything is supposed to fit neatly into. As a child, there is no box. It is just endless freedom to explore any and every possibility of creativity and adventure,” she said.
“I feel so blessed that my daughter can remind me once again what it is like to paint like a child.”11．What does Eve NOT draw using her moth er’s ink pen?
A．The Branches of a tree. B．Crooked lines.
C．Meaningless scratches. D．Random lines.
12．What’s the process of Eve’s sketches to her mother’s painting?
① Ruth spends within 30-60 minutes turning doodles into a painting.
② Eve uses a black ink pen to make her sketches.
③ Ruth takes over with her water-colours.
A．③②①B．①②③C．②③①D．②①③
13．How does Ruth think of children and adults?
A．Children are more creative than adults.
B．Adults are more creative than children.
C．Children tend to over analyze something.
D．Adults explore any possibility of adventure.
4.Scientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.
However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out,“There are slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they’ve been brought up to think of these subjects as boys “territory”.
Statistics(统计数据)show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report sug gests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes. One of the reports’ authors says,“While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are ‘hopeless’ a t maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as good as the boys, they have not been encouraged to do so.”The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school, girls are not encouraged
to work on their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys not girls, are often asked to “help” with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence(证据)shows that exceptional(例外的) mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who supplied answers; they had to find out for themselves.
A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls.
Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their “male” students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects, gives them confidence(信心) and makes them believe that they can succeed.
Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such “male” subjects like mathematics and science as difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons.
Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither do they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less females and so, less attractive.
14．The underlined word “territory” in the second paragraph most probably means “_______”. A．interest B．area of land
C．district D．special field
15．According to scientific studies_______.
A．girls are poorer at Maths because they are the weaker sex
B．girls can learn Maths as well as boys if given enough encouragement
C．Maths is not fit for girls to learn
D．boys have a special sense of Maths
16．Those who made extraordinary contribution in mathematics and science_______.
A．had the abilities to solve problems by themselves
B．usually had good teachers to help them
C．usually worked harder than others
D．were encouraged to repair things when young
17．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A．It seems socially acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write.
B．It is a social problem rather than a problem of brains that girls are poor at maths. C．Mathematics and science are not easy subjects to either girls or boys.
D．Girls do not want to compete openly with boys.
5.To stop more teenagers from becoming addicted (沉迷) to the Internet, the Ministry of Education (MOE, 教育部) sent a letter on April 20, 2018 to all parents in China. It calls on them to pay more attention to their children’s online activities. Nowadays more and more teenagers become addicted to the Internet. A 17-year-old boy from Guangdong Province nearly died after playing online games for 40 hours. It shows how bad things can get when one becomes addicted to the Internet.
The MOE also sent a notice to primary and middle schools, asking them to manage students’ Internet use. From now on, schools will pay more attention to their students’ Internet use, as well as their use of mobile phones. Schools have been told to teach students how to avoid violent (暴力的) online content (内容). As long as students show signs of being addicted to the Internet, they can get help from their teachers to give up their addiction.
To make better use of the Internet, experts suggest that students should limit (限制) their screen time to less than 1.5 hours a day. They can develop healthy hobbies, like reading or playing sports in their free time.
Many other countries are also taking action. The Australian government has called for schools to confiscate (没收) mobile phones during school hours. And in South Korea, there is a law that children under the age of 16 are not allowed to play online games between midnight and 6 am.
18．Whom did the MOE send the letter to?
A．Parents. B．Students.
C．Schools. D．The government.
19．How long should a teenager use the Internet a day according to the experts?
A．About three hours. B．Less than two hours.
C．Less than one and a half hours. D．More than 1.5 hours.
20．What suggestion did the experts give to the students?
A．To leave mobile phones home before students go to school.
B．To hand in mobile phones when students are at school.
C．To ask for help from their teachers when students find it hard to leave online games.
D．To develop healthy hobbies such as doing sports or reading.
21．Which action is South Korea taking against teenagers’ Internet addiction? A．Confiscating students’ smart phones.
B．Not allowing teenagers to play online games at night.
C．Making a law to prevent children under 16 from playing online games during certain time. D．Calling on parents to manage their children’s online activities.
22．You can read this article in ________.

6.In today’s world of modern science and medicine, a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular---animal friendship.
It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets reduces blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy, amusement and caring friendship.
Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin, Ned, had a parrot（鹦鹉）called Sally, and John used to visit it. When he arrived, Ned used to say, ”Hi, John!”We all know parrots copy what they heat. After a few visits, Sally began saying “Hi, John!” when John came into the room. Then, one day, John turned to the parrot and replied “Hi, Sally!”Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.
Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are use to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases, they are used to teach children to get on well and share with others, and even to teach them about animals.
If you want to know more about animal helper programs ,you can get in touch with organizations
like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don’t have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.
23．Which is NOT mentioned as an illness that animals can help with?
A．Fever B．Cancer C．Heart disease D．Blood pressure
24．The underlined word “mute” in Paragraph3 is closest in meaning to “_________”.
A．a person who speaks slowly B．a person who does not speak
C．a person who cannot hear D．a person who enjoys talking
25．How can animals help school children according to the passage?
A．They can make children more popular.
B．They can improve children’s memory.
C．They can increase children’s blood pressure.
D．They can teach children the value of sharing.
26．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

A．①；②；③；④；⑤B．①②；③④；⑤
C．①②；③；④⑤D．①；②③；④⑤
7.Several recent studies have suggested that women experience laughter more than men. According to medical studies ,laughter isn't just about having fun-it actually has many health benefits（好处）. Studies have shown that the act of laughing can make blood pressure fall, reduce stress（压力）and improve immune function（免疫功能）.
Not only that, but laughter can also provide benefits similar to that of an antidepressant(抗抑郁). When you laugh your body lets out something that lead to a general feeling of health and happiness. Regular laughter can play a role in helping you to avoid many health problems. So not only do women tend to（趋向）laugh more than men，they are also more likely to have the last laugh”.
Women are more likely to respond to men whom they find humorous and men seem to recognize（识别，认出）this and their best to make women laugh. It has been shown that women are more likely to laugh in the presence （仪表）of men whom they like and men are more likely to be attracted to women who laugh in their presence because it makes them feel better. Clearly,
it is important to men that a woman appreciates （欣赏）their humor.
27．The studies show that regular laughter can_________.
A．raise blood pressure B．keep us nervous

8. Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take m oney out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris (虹膜), which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction (采集). Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified (识别), and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.
However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We have already had machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger. Eye-recognition is better
than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!
31．How does the eye-recognition program work?
A．You look at the machine. B．You say your name.
C．You type in your number. D．You show your ID card.
32．Which recognition program has been already tested in shops and banks according to the passage?
A．Remembering smells. B．Remembering fingerprints.
C．Remembering the shape of faces. D．Remembering eyes.

a. The man will take out the money from the bank successfully.
b. This machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction.
c. A kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them.
d. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified.
e. When this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction.

C．You won’t have t o remember a number when you take money out of a bank. D．Scientists are working on the voice-recognition system.
9.The stereotype(模式化的思想) is that Americans are lazy, but studies show that people in the USA get less vacation time than people in other parts of the world. A typical American worker gets two or three weeks off out of a whole year for vacation, but most US workers cannot. They usually have to be spread out throughout the year. Even when US workers are on vacation. they are often expected to be in communication with their bosses by email and mobile phone. Most US businesses do not encourage their employees(雇员) to take all the vacation days they are allowed to. In fact. most US companies discourage it.
Other countries, especially countries in Europe, have much more vacation time. In Germany many people have six weeks of paid vacation. Maybe this is why Europeans and other travellers take a vacation in far-off foreign places. Most American families like to stay closer to their homes, hardly leaving the country.
Most companies in countries outside the USA have to give paid time off to their employees. However, in the USA there is no law requiring employers to give workers paid vacation. In fact the USA is the only developed country that doesn't promise to give yearly time off to workers. There have been efforts to pass laws giving US workers one week of paid vacation, but so far those efforts have not been successful.
Even when US workers do have time off, many are afraid to take it because they worry they may lose their jobs. Other workers worry that if they go on vacation, they will have a mountain of work when they return.
36．The underlined word "discourage" in Paragraph 1 means . A．Encourage B．protect C．look forward to D．ask someone not to do

39．Which is the right order of the passage?
a. Many Germans have six weeks of paid vacation.

【英语】中考英语阅读理解经典题型带答案 一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析） 1．根据短文理解，选择正确答案。 A Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to bridge generation gap（代沟）. Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them You can't express（表达）yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree（有分歧） on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days. Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try. （1）From the passage we know_______ have a communication problem. A. parents and children of all ages B. children and other people C. parents and their school children D. teachers and their students （2）How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap? A. 5 B. 4 C. 3 D. 2 （3）The underlined phrase "cool off" in the passage means_______. A. make yourself happy B. make yourself quiet and relaxed C. become angry D. go away （4）If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better_______. A. argue with them B. keep away from them
B Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan in 2008. Thousands of people died in it. So it's important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake. 1. If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you. 2. If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you. 3. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run outside and rush for exits (出口). Everyone will be doing that and you'll find it hard getting out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong cover near you. 4. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's safe to get up. 5. If you are at home and you smell gas (煤气), open the windows and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous. 51. Most earthquakes are too _______ to hurt people. A. strong B. weak C. dangerous 52. If you are outdoors, it would be safe to _______. A. go to a playground B. stay under a tree C. stand by the window 53. If you're in a shop and far from the door, you'd better _______. A. rush to the door right away B. run after the people quickly C. hide yourself under a cover near you 54. The best title of this passage is "_______". A. How dangerous the earthquake is B. How to be safe during an earthquake C. Don't be afraid of the earthquake 55. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Most earthquakes are very dangerous, so we must be very careful every day. B. You'd better keep away from those things that may fall on you wherever you are. C. If you smell gas at home, try to hide under a desk and don't run outside quickly. C Raising pets is a popular online game among teenagers. “More than 20 of my classmates have adopted(领养) pets online.” Said Wang Hui from Beijing. If you go to some websites, you can adopt virtual(虚拟的) pets like penguins(企鹅), chickens, dogs and elephants. You can feed, wash, talk to and play with your pet. Dai Yingshuang of Shanghai said, “It’s great fun and I have also learned how to take care of others.” She usually asks her uncle to take care of her pet while she is at school. If you don’t feed and care for the pet, it will become unhappy and unhealthy. So raising an online pet means spending a lot of time online. This makes many parents worried. They fear it will have a bad influence on the children’s studies. Wang Zha otong from Anhui has raised a pengu in since last year. She said, “My parents know about the penguin and think it’s okay.” If the students can kee p the balance between studying and playing, it’s not bad for them to “raise” pets online. 56．Over ______ students in Wang Hui’s class have adopted pets online.
