一、中考英语阅读理解汇编
1．阅读理解
Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally（情感上）. Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.
Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own.
If they love science, they may try to force（强迫） their child to love science, too. But what if their child's true love is art writing, or car repair?
Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.
The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books, newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable.

4．根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。
Do you often listen to music at loud volumes （音量）? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing. Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss （听力丧失） ,because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.
The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB （分贝） for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.
Loud noise is harmful to the inner二Most of us are bon with about 16,000 hair cells （听毛细胞） in our inner ears. These cells notice sounds. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss. Once this happens, it's hard to get your hearing back.
Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you alight feel uncomfortable
The "safe level" for most sound is below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week. A level of 80 dB is about equal to （相当于） the noise of a subway.
Here is some advice on safe listening. Over—the—ear headphones （头戴式耳机）are better than in—ear ones. They do a better job of stopping outside noise, so you can listen at a lower volume. Don't listen to loud music on your headphones for a long time. Follow the 60:60 rule: listen to music at 60 percent of your headphones' maximum volume for no more than 60 minutes a day.
（1）It is safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 100 dB for 15 minutes
（2）Listening to loud noise for a long time can cause some hair cells in the inner ear to die. （3）From the fourth paragraph, we know people don't always realize how loud their music is. （4）In—ear headphones are better than over—the—eat ones because they can stop more outside noise.
（5）This article mainly tells us why ears are an important part of our bodies.
【答案】（1）0
（2）1
（3）1
（4）0
（5）0
【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲述了听大音量音乐的习惯对听力有害。世界卫生组织称，超过10亿的年轻人在听力方面存在问题，因为他们长时间大声聆听。联合国有安全聆听标准。听八十小时大于85分贝或15分钟大声100分钟的声音是不安全的。长时间聆听大声的声音可能会使这些细胞工作太猛，并使其中一些细胞死亡。这就是人们听力损失的原因。
（1）判断正误题。根据 It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB （分贝）for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. 可知挺高于85分贝八个小时或者100分贝15分钟是不安全的。故答案为错误。
（2）判断正误题。根据 However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. 可知听大声的噪音很长时间能使这些耳毛细胞工作太猛，造成一些耳毛细胞死亡，故答案为正确。
（3）判断正误题。根据if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. 可知如果你在像地铁这样吵闹的地方，你可能无意识的把声音调到太大，可知第四段告诉我们人们不总是能意识到他们的音乐有多大声，故答案为正确。
（4）判断正误题。根据Over—the—ear headphones （头戴式耳机）are better than in—ear ones. They do a better job of stopping outside noise, so you can listen at a lower volume. 可知头戴式耳机比置入式耳机更好，故答案为错误。
（5）判断正误题。通读全文可知大意是：听大声的音乐对听力有害，不是讲耳朵是人体重要的组成部分，故答案为错误。
【点评】考查阅读理解能力，首先通读全文，掌握大意，然后根据细节判断所给句子的正确，注意要找到依据。

Tips for Living in China

When you are invited to dinner, you don't have to eat everything. First, try a little of every dish by putting some on your plate or in a rice bowl. You don't have to eat it. But as a foreign guest,

⒉ Chopsticks
The main difference on the Chinese dinner table is that people use chopsticks instead of knife and fork. Remember don't point at others with chopsticks or wave them around when you talk at dinner. Never stick them upright in your rice bowl-that's how the Chinese honor the dead at graves（坟墓）. Instead, you should put chopsticks beside the plate.
⒊ Bargaining
When you go to open-air markets or private stores, you need to bargain with the shop assistants. Remember to establish a friendly relationship first. You are creating a relationship with the sellers, not a price war. Think of it this way: Shouting, arguing, and pointing are not good.

Andrew Hollennan, a 12-year-old boy, loved playing in the open land near his home. The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants. It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red- tail hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.
Suddenly it was announced that the "empty" land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil would be covered with extra grounds. When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.
Andrew wrote down clearly all the researches he had down about the area, and how the houses would affect the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses. Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew's teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment. Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign, who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people.
In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.

9．阅读理解
Students in Kenya are returning for their third term. They begin their school year in January and it is broken up into three terms. In Kenya, in the past, students were not required to attend school and the education was not free, either.
I taught math, English and physics at Chamasiri Secondary School while I was a teacher in Kenya. This school had four classrooms ﹣one for each grade, Form 1, Form 2, Form 3 and Form 4. They are the equivalent（对等） to our 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Teachers traveled from classroom to classroom instead of the students going from room to room. The Form I class had 60 students, Form 2 had 45, Form 3 had 30, and Form 4 about 12 students. The class sizes became smaller as the grades continued on. Why did this happn? Many families were very poor and could not afford the school fees（学费）.
Most countryside schools in Kenya did not have a lot of money. As a result, there were very few textbooks for the students to use. I had seven math texts for my Form 2 class and 14 for the Form I class. Anything the students needed to know was put up on the blackboard and the students copied it down into their notebooks. The notebooks became the students' textbooks.
Kenyan students study ten different subject areas. Some of the students spend over an hour running home. They do chores at home and hopefully manage to find some time to study before it gets dark. Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candies for their children to study by.
Luckily, Kenyan education has been becoming better and better in the past few years. I'm sure it will have a good future.
（1）Which grade does Form 3 refer to（指的是） in the writer's country？
A. Grade 9.
B. Grade 10.
C. Grade 11.
D. Grade 12.（2）Why did the notebooks become the students' textbooks？
A. The students did not pay the schools.
B. The schools couldn't afford the textbooks.
C. The students preferred to use their notebook.
D. The teachers asked the students to take notes.
（3）Why do some students run home from school？
A. They aren't allowed to stay at school.
B. They don't like studying in the school.
C. They hope to have more time to study.
D. They want to get candles in the stores.
（4）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE？
A. In Kenya, a school year has three terms.
B. The Form I class had the most students.
C. Each family has electricity in Kenya.
D. Kenyan education has been improving.

Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity （邻近）more than anything else. Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests. It's the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands to you has the greatest influence on you. As Jim Rohn has widely said. "You are average （平均） of five people you spend the most little with."
Over the past ten months, I've paid Ryan, it Famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I'm writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a drab （草稿）, he shows me how it could be 10 times better, and he holds me to that standard.
▲ It's because that I don't know what I don't know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.
Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection （反映） on him. It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure （压力） to help me make great progress in organizing author training.
In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential. Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don't change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance. You can't ignore this.

A. To support the writer's opinion.
B. To introduce the writer's best friend.
C. To show Jim Rohn's working ability.
D. To prove Jim Rohn is a great person.
（2）Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3?
A. It's not that my workmates' abilities are low.
B. It's not that my working ability was born low.
C. It's not that' e friends based on proximity.
D. It's not that I've paid Ryan to help me with my book.
（3）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to （指代）?
A. The writer's performance.
B. Jim Rohn's famous saying.
C. Richard's different experience.
D. Richard's strictness with the writer.
（4）The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________________.
A. we can improve our working abilities by ourselves

C. we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levels
D. we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests

（2）细节理解题。根据 It's because that I don't know what I don't know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful. 这是因为我不只是我不懂什么。和Ryan在一起使我意识到什么是可能的，它要花费什么来创造有能力的东西。可知我的工作能力不是生来就低。故选B。

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved reading crime and detective （侦探） novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career （职业） and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn't. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career, and not something as risky as writing. I suppose I could have studied joumalism （新闻）,but I didn't want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise （妥协） , especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice: by the time I was twenty-five，I'd already finished two novels and had an agent.
To be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don't know is because my agent told
me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance （浪漫） novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, "Well, if you think it'll make me successful, okay," I'd totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I'd written it - she even offered to lend it to me after she'd finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies, but I think my parents probably did me a favor: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.
（1）Hazel is probably ．
A. an agent
B. a journalist
C. a teacher and artist
D. a teacher and writer （2）The underlined words "is very big on " in the passage most probably mean .
A. to give no advice
B. to like something very much
C. to have more experiences
D. to misunderstand something
（3）It's clear that Hazel .
A. agreed to study journalism for a degree
B. accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name
C. would like to write something for teaching
D. told her workmates about her writing novels
（4）Hazel finally realized that her parents' advice on her career was .
A. helpful
B. exciting
C. disappointing
D. risky
（5）We can infer from the passage that .
A. Hazel likes showing off in public
B. Hazel's students all want to write novels
C. Hazel's agent has played a role in her success
D. older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel

Big data（数据） is lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites（社交媒体网站）, companies and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.
Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need more help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.

13．根据短文内容，判断正误。
I was 15 months old, a happy and carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, my injured, sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on
with me.
Sometimes people asked me embarrassing （使人难堪的） questions. Whenever kids played games, I was the "monster". I was always imagining that everyone looked down on（瞧不起）me. Yet mum would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to depend on that saying. As a child, I thought mum meant, "Be careful，or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking. "As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.
In high school, I even became the class president, but inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say," Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance（外貌） ."
My mum's love was the sunshine that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be confident（自信的） but also to have deep compassion（同情） for others. "Hold your head up high "has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mum gave me will live on.

14．阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Imagine a world with no more animals: no elephants, no tigers or lions. To some people, that thought is too terrible for words. So they are doing something about it. Tiffany Soechting is one of them.
Being among wild animals—feeding them and caring for them—is all Tiffany Soechting has wanted to do with her life. And that is exactly what she does!
Soechting is the human "mother" to the 500 animals that live on her family wildlife farm in San Antonio, Texas. On the farm, she cares for animals from around the world. Soechting says she loves them all. However, two reticulated giraffes（网纹长颈鹿） take up a special place in her heart. Their population in the wild has become smaller by 80% in the last 15 years. "I'm so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes up to a higher level. All our hard work helps protect giraffes living in the wild."
Besides her animal caring, Soechting also holds monthly classes, where she teaches school children about the animals.
Soechting also opens the farm to the public. Visitors not only learn about the animals, they can also get close to them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are part of their natural environment.
The farm is part conservation（保护） area, part educational center and part animal park. As the animals walk peacefully around the grounds, it is easy for them to forget that San Antonio, a busy city, is just a few minutes away.

A. she has already married and has some children

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.

That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter （笑声）Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. "Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr. Kataria. "Everyone is naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over l,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects （效果） of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed-and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! （1）The first Laughter Club was started in __________. A. India B. America C. Britain D.

【英语】中考英语阅读理解测试题及答案经典 一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析） 1．阅读理解 Radio and television are very popular in the world today. Millions of people watch TV. Perhaps more people listen to the radio. The TV, of course, is more useful than the radio. On TV you can see and hear what is happening in the world. Now the radio is not disappearing. It's still with us. And the number of listeners is becoming larger. One reason for this is the invention of the transistor（晶体管）radio. The transistor radio is sometimes very small. It is very easy to carry.

中考英语阅读理解100篇：中考英语阅读理解真题及答案（1） Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family. “I wish you a Happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head. “You are not from this country.” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.” When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. “I have bought no books”, said he. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.” “My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift” “I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.” 48.
