Passage 1(2016广州)
It may be hard to believe, but the American Revolution(革命)—the war that freed the American states from British control — began over a cup of tea. Tea was not the only thing that caused the war, of course, but it played a very big part.
The British people's love of tea is well-known. When the British won control over much of North America in the early 1700s, they brought their tea-drinking habits with them. Tea quickly became the continent's most popular drink. As tea could not be grown locally, just as in Britain, it was shipped into the country — mostly from India.
In the early 1700s, the British government made a special deal with the East India Company, an English trading company. They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain, including America. It was a great deal for the East India Company, since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products. And it always decided on a high price!
In North America, the local people did not like having to pay such high prices. Instead of overpaying for tea from the British, they turned to Dutch traders, who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as good — and much less expensive. Although this broke the law, the American people didn't care. They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price.
The East India Company, however, didn't like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch traders —a huge amount of money in a time when ￡60 a year was considered a good income. Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch, the company asked the British government for help and the government agreed.
In 1767, the British introduced new laws that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America. These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything. The American leaders asked the British government not to do so, but the British refused to listen. These unfair laws increased Americans' anger about British rule and the rest, as they say, is history.
1. In the early 1700s, where did most tea drunk in America come from?

C. America.
D. Britain.
2. The underlined word “it” in Par agraph 3 refers to ________．

A. The tea was much cheaper.

D. They didn't want to support the British.
4. What did the East India Company do to stop losing money?
A. It reduced the price of its tea.
B. It improved the taste of its tea.
C. It introduced a new kind of tea.

Passage 2(2017原创)
Dragons are not real animals, but they look like a combination(结合体) of many animals, such as snakes, fish, and deer. They have two horns and a long mustache(胡子). With fantastic power, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.
We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants(传人) of the dragons”. In China, “excellent” people are often called “dragons”. A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, “Hoping_one's_child_will_become_a_dragon”， which means hoping one's child will be successful.

was born on August 22nd in 1904, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all successful.
There are also some traditional festivals in China, such as the Dragon Head-Raising Day and the Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.
The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the “descendants of the dragons”， it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why ou r parents always want us to be “dragons”．

2020广东省中考英语专题训练 阅读理解 一 Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner th an you think. Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company. ()1. According to the text, living in a“smart”city ____. A. is not a green way B. will be far from you C. will soon become true D. is completely impossible ()2. Paragraph 2 is mainly about ____. A. a city of the future B. a meeting in Songdo C. a plan to build a house D. a report on public health ()3. Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo? A. Cisco. B. IBM. C. Siemens. D. Microsoft. ()4. Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ____. A. drive people out of cities B. control the world's population C. develop his own company D. solve the cities' coming problems ()5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Future Education B. Smart Cities C. Government Services D. Famous Companies 二
