2024年中考英语二轮复习专题：阅读理解之记叙文（广东广州专用）ANow, studying online has become a common way of learning. The biggest difference between studying online and studying in school is that our teachers can’t ▲ us all the time, so we should be able to control ourselves. I didn’t know this at first. During our online classes, I often got distracted by my mobile phone.For this reason, I didn’t do well in the midterm exam. At that time, I realized that I had to do something to improve my online study habits, so I made up my mind to concentrate (集中注意力) on the online classes. Finally, I made much progress in the final exam. Now I want to offer you some ways I used to improve my learning during the online classes. Firstly, make a list of what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. Try your best to follow it. Don’t set your aims too high at first, because proper aims can help you to make the list work. Secondly, keep your mobile phones out of your reach when you study. Give them to your parents if necessary. Thirdly, make efforts to review and overcome your shortcomings in the process of review. You can ask your teachers for help or work with your classmates.In general, we should stick to keeping good learning habits all the time. I hope that all students can study better both online andoffline.1．Which word can be put in ____ ▲ ___ in paragraph 1 A．direct B．protect C．follow2．The writer improved his learning by ________.①setting a high aim at the beginning of his learning② making a list of what he should do and what he should n’t do③ making efforts to review and overcome his shortcoming④keeping the mobile phones away from him when he studied A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④3．The writer writes the passage to ________.A．introduce good ways about how to reviewB．tell us the advantages about studying onlineC．share experience and give advice about online learning 4．What’s the correct structure of this passageA．B．C．【答案】1．C 2．C 3．C 4．B【导语】本文主要讲述了在线学习的常见方式以及与传统学校学习的区别。

2019 中考英语阅读理解金题（4）【能力选练】 A（2019 中考训练题）People often think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.1.This passage is probably from .A． a book review B． a science bookC． a school report D． a computer magazine2.According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago ?A.Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.B.Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.C.The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D.The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.3．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?A．气候恶劣的B．充满危险的C．困难重重的D．无人居住的4.The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is . A． that the temperature suddenly drops B． that the water under the ice is frozenC． that the ocean water under the ice moves D． that the surface is covered with lots of ice5.What does this passage mainly talk about?A.The thick ice in the North Pole.B. A difficult trip to the North Pole.C.The real situation in the North Pole.D.The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普文，介绍了北极点的有关情况。

2020届中考阅读理解说明文专练（一）Hong Kong﹣Zhuhai﹣Macao Bridge（HZMB）opened on October 24，2018．It's the longest cross﹣sea bridge in the world．The bridge is 55 kilometers long．It connects Hong Kong and Macao to the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai．Construction（建筑工程）on the HZMB began in 2009．It is considered as one of the "seven wonders（奇迹）of the modern world"．The HZMB is the only one in many ways．It can withstand wind speeds of up to 185km/h and earthquakes with magnitude（震级）of up to8．It's designed to have a service life（寿命）of 120 years，20 years longer than most bridges．And It' s not just a bridge，but also part tunnel（隧道）and part island．In one section（部分），the bridge tums into a 6.7﹣km undersea tunnel．And the tunnel passes through two man﹣made islands．The tunnel is the world's longest undersea tunnel for road traffic，allowing large ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel．The HZMB makes it more convenient to travel between the three areas．It can shorten （缩短）the traveling time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai．People used to spend four hours，but now it takes about 45 minutes．By making local cities and areas closer together，the HZMB helps the areas' development．It can develop the economy （经济）of Hong Kong，Macao and nine Guangdong cities．（1）When did the HZMB open？A．On October 24 ，2009．B．On November 24，2009．C．On October 24，2018．D．On December 24 ，2018．（2）what does the underlined word"withstand" mean in Chinese？A．坚守B．躲避C．减轻D．承受（3）The bridge can help the three areas in many ways EXCEPT．A．developing the economy of the three areasB．making the three areas have fewer earthquakesC．making local cities and the three areas closer togetherD．shortening the traveling time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai（4）How long does it take to travel from Hong Kong to Zhuhai according to the passage？A．About 45 minutes．B．About 55 minutes．C．About 2 hours．D．About 4 hours．（5）Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage？A．The bridge is 55 kilometers long．B．Construction on the HZMB began in 2009．C．The service life of the HzMB is 20 years shorter than most bridge．D．In one section，the undersea tunnel passes through two man made islands．（1）A （2）D（3）B （4）A（5）C（二）When it comes to helping developing countries，we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals，buy food and medicine，or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However，it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer，which he decided toinvent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will becovered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily .As an electricitysupply can bea problem in developing countries，the computer also has a special handle in order that childrencan wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr.Negroponte wants toproduce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year .The idea is that these computerswill help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet .These computersmight not benefit the people in developing countries immediately，but by improving children'seducation they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so thathey can be used again. In the UK. and probably in many other countries too，millions of mobilephones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is verybed for the environment，so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time，We will reduce the waste we produce and help others .In other words ,we will be able to" kill two birds with one ”and that is always a good thing.根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。

If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but youdo it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less inthepool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker andheavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result,you can burn more calories (卡路里).In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes themfeel good.But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquaticexercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn't require any special skills. You don't even need to knowhow to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.75. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Difference between air and water.B. Weight change of one'sbody.C. The advantages of aquatic exercise.D. The ways to do aquaticexercise.76. What do most people think of aquatic exercise?A. Relaxing.B.

In which part of a magazine can we read the text?A. Culture.B. Health.C. Nature.D.Travel.CABB（三）Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn’t need to feel this way. Our experience of time can be possibly changed. By understanding the psychological(心理学的) processes behind our different experiences of time, we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we’re exposed(接触) to new environments and experiences. The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amount of information our minds process. The more information our minds take in, the slower time seems to pass.It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up.How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand(增加) our experience of time.Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time pass ing. It’s possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.27. According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by .A. going to bed on timeB. traveling to new placesC. having dinner as usualD. printing the same materials28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.B. Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.C. We can take in more information by living through our senses.D. We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Slow Down TimeB. Only Time Will TellC. Race Against TimeD. Time Will Not Comc Twice答案：27—29 BCA（四）Have you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression (印象)?” It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it istrue --- the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the firsttime will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in thefuture.What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meetsomeone for the first time, by the time you have stated you name or shakenhands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind ofperson you are.So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and being well-dressed --- are very important.However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is yourface. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almostalways leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those whodo not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile backwhen they are smiled at.Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know andget a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly befriendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solveproblems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think aboutthe wonderful people you might meet --- and impress --- with a cheerful smile.46.What does the underlined word “react” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese?A.回应B. 道歉C. 报告D. 建议47.Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.48.What is the most important to leave good impressions?A. Shaking hands.B. Stating your name.C. Dressing nicely.D. Wearing a smile.49.What can be learned from the last paragraph?A.Friendliness helps solve problems.B.Being positive helps you find a way out.C.There are many reasons to be happy.D.Thinking of great people cheers you up.50.What would be the best title for the text?A.The First Impression Does CountB.Smiling Makes the First ImpressionC.Manners Leave Deep ImpressionsD.Impressions Decide Who You AreC C A A B（五）Recently, a video story has spread among people.James Anthony has cleaned the halls of Hickerson Primary School for 15 years.

Together, they make for a grand （宏伟的）view. The third and fourth lines point out the fact that the higher one stands, the farther one can see. This not only shows the poet's great aspirations （抱负），but also encourages people to keep moving ahead and not to let success or failure go to their heads （冲昏头脑）.Wang Zhihuan （688～742）was a Tang Dynasty poet. He was a brave man. He liked to travel across China, drinking and waving his sword （剑）around while singing. He was good at writing quatrains （绝句）.

She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5.0 to 4.6. "A few of my friends have had the same experience lately," Sun said. In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020，according to the Ministry of Education.To protect students' eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements for school supplies and equipment that will take effect （生效）on March 1，2022. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students' textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point （小五号）.Teachers should also avoid using projectors （投影仪）or other multimedia equipment （多媒体设备）that are too bright, Beijing Daily reported.There are also requirements for desk and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off as little blue light as possible.Blue light is bad for our eyes, as it can kill the photoreceptor cells （感光细胞）we need for vision, according to Harvard Medical School. Many of the electronic devices （电子设备）we use every day, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.27.Through Sun's experience, the writer tells us that ______ .A. she still has good eyesightB. she should have gone to the hospital earlierC. most Chinese students wear glassesD. many Chinese students have bad eyesight28.Over the first half of 2020，______ more Chinese students experienced vision loss.A. 0.4 percentB. 11.4 percentC. 59.2 percentD. 70.6 percent29.To protect students' eyes, the Chinese government is asking ______ .a. schools to use textbooks with larger textb. teachers to avoid using bright multimedia equipmentc. schools not to use blue light bulbsd. schools to use lights that give off less blue lightA. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd30.The last paragraph is mainly about ______ .A. how to reduce the use of blue lightB. how to use blue light correctlyC. what blue light is and how it affects usD. why the government is protecting students' eyesI"Beauty is only skin deep." This expression means that beauty is only a temporary and surface （暂时而表面的）quality. And some beauty products can cause lasting harm that goes far below the surface of the skin. But people,especialy women, will take a lot of risks for beauty. In the United States, many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health experts are against it, because it may lead to skin cancer.In the African country of Senegal, some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite. They use products that lighten the skin. The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products. These products can have some chemicals such as mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide （汞、对苯二酚和氢氧化钠）. These are dangerous ingredients （成分）that can cause cancer andpossibly other physical harm to the skin. They can even burn the eyes and skin.Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reasons：women all over the world make changes to their looks. They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd. But some products are so strong. They must be mixed with others before they are used.A woman filmmaker Khardiata Sall from Senegal made a movie This Color That Worries Me. It's about the subject of skin lightening, "I used the most scary pictures so that women would clearly see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman would tell herself that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man, to be loved. Or they want to please the society, to succeed." Ms. Sall says the government needs to better control the market and the sale of skin lightening products. But she adds education is the best way to tell people against using them.31.According to the passage, Khardiata Sall ______ .A. is a white womanB. works as an actorC. is against skin-lighteningD. wants to be white32.The underlined word " They" in the fourth paragraph means ______ .A. mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxideB. some women in SenegalC. all skin-lightening productsD. some strong skin-lightening products33.According to the passage, if you are a women in Senegal, you may go out of your way tochange your skin color because ______ .A. you want to please your parentsB. you want to make changes to your hobbiesC. you want to look better than othersD. you want to find a good job34.If you put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best？______（①= Para. 1 ②= Para. 2 ③= Para. 3 ④= Para. 4 ⑤= Para.5）A. ①；②；③④⑤B. ①；②③；④⑤C. ①②；③；④⑤D. ①②③；④；⑤JHere is your best chance to travel around Chongqing：a lot of coupons （优惠券）are sent out for free!

First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area.

When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clear path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment （义务）, work ethic（道德） and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way—putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. And I always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顾客).I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other workmates, where I became a CEO.Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they're not, you're reallywell-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.1. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. The writer hasn't achieved his childhood ambition.B. The writer thinks there is some easy way to become a CEO.C.

What can we know about the writer from the passage?A. He started LivingSocial when he was still a student of Georgetown University.B. He used to run the consumer product team for AOL.C. His business activities at college ended up in more failure than success.D. His father had far-reaching influence on him.4.

2019中考英语阅读理解选（七）【实战训练】 A（2019中考选练）Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called "Internet of things" is developing.The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席执行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).So, how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize(识别) people's faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices(装置) don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing?It may happen sooner than you think.1. The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that_____.A. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life soonerB. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recentlyC. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of thingsD. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things2. We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _____________.A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or notB. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes inC. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the houseD. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone3. According to the passage, it is mentioned that_____·①the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low②your fridge provides the drinks for you③the chair warms up if you feel cold④your favourite music starts playing⑤your washing machine starts workingA.①②⑤B.②③④C.①③④D.①④⑤4. What's the problem about the Internet of things?A. Companies which produce connected-home devices haven't joined together.B. Connected-home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked.C. Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet.D. These new devices are produced by different companies.参考答案1、A 2、D 3、C 4、B【实战训练】 B2016中考英语阅读理解分类练习：广告布告类Come to Austria!Soll is a village in the mountains in western Austria.

In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children. Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children. Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the research?A. 30 minutes.B. 60 minutes.C. 90 minutes.D. 120 minutes.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children becausethey have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a day playing outside.D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.3. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is. 参考答案1. D 2. C 3. BB（2019中考保健与健康类选练）How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an average ( 平均 ) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a day.Most people have a night when they cannot sleep. About one in three(1/3) Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia.This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, a famous statesman ( 政治家 ) and inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep.

Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there wouldbe no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.1. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it2.

2023年重庆中考英语第二轮专题复习阅读理解题训练2AWhen taking an elevator，do you often push the "close" button？You hope by pushing it，the elevator door will close faster.But what if the button is actually fake（假的）？Karen Penafiel is the executive director of the US National Elevator Industry.She said that elevators' "close" buttons are a complete trick，at least in the US，and that doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you push.In the 1990s，the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US.It means all elevators have to stay open long enough to allow disabled people to enter.Only US firefighters and elevator workers can really use the buttons with special keys.But the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists（心理学家），fake buttons can make you feel better.They give you a sense of control that can help reduce（减少）stress.That's why some other buttons in our lives are fake，too. For example，many offices in the US have fake thermostats（温控器）.People may feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.You were told that traffic light buttons could help make the traffic signals（信号）faster.But theymay not work either.However，even when people know these little "white lies"，they still push fake buttons.As long as the doors finally close，it seems worthy.John Kounios is a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US.He told The New York Times that he always pushes the traffic light buttons. "Well，I've got nothing else to do while waiting.So why not push the button on the off？Maybe it will work."1. According to Karen Penafiel，______ .A. elevators' "close" buttons in the US don't really workB. elevators in the US are of poor qualityC. using an elevator may not save your timeD. elevators' "close" button only works when you push it hard2. Psychologists think that fake buttons ______ .A. don't help in our daily livesB. give people a sense of controlC. may make people feel unsafeD. can make people stressed3. The example of the traffic light buttons tells us ______ .A. how to make traffic light buttons workB. fake buttons are completely useless in our daily livesC. fake buttons can help people psychologicallyD. pushing a traffic light button is an interesting activity4. The structure of the passage is ______ .A. B.C. D.BThe British are known for their sense of humor.However,it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement. Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.For example,if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain,he might say,"It's a little damp（潮湿的）outside."Or,if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person loudly,people might say,"He isn't exactly friendly."Understatement is often used in unpleasant situations or to make another person look silly.Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen in everyday life.For example,they laugh when someone accidentally falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes on people from different classes of society.They like to make jokes about their accents,the way they dress and the way they behave.What's more,the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society.The comedy Mr.Bean is a good example of this kind ofhumor.Mr.Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.Mr.Bean doesn't talk often,and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr.Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world will never do.Mr.Bean is popular in many countries around the world because people do not have to speak English to understand the humor.Because of this,many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

2023年中考英语阅读专项练习回答问题(一)On March 14, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, the UK.Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and would end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History Of Time, which has sold more than 25 million copies around the world.Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and optimistic attitude. When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed(诊断) with a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” by using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colourful life. “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically(心理上地) disabled as well,” he once said.Hawking travelled around the world to attend science conferences, visiting every continent, including Antarctica. He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory.He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon. When he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day. In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quite satisfied with my life,” he said.回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。

（一）There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, "What a beautiful flower!I wish I were that lovely. "The rose proudly said, "It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. "Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns（刺）! ""What a proud flower! " thought the trees.As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like "This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor ! "The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, "God did not create any form of life without a purpose. "Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt（枯萎）.One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus."The cactus has water?" asked the rose.Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help. "The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.The rose learned a lesson and never judged (评价) anyone by their appearance again.31.

If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but youdo it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in thepool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker andheavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result,you can burn more calories (卡路里).In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes themfeel good.But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquaticexercise is safe and easyto learn. It doesn't require any special skills. You don't even need to knowhow to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.75. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Difference between air and water.B. Weight change of one'sbody.C. The advantages of aquatic exercise.D. The ways to do aquaticexercise.76. What do most people think of aquatic exercise?A. Relaxing.B. Worrying.C. Challenging.D.Boring.77. According to the text, aquatic exercise is _____.A. done in groupsB. fit for everyoneC. difficult to learnD. done with special skills78. In which part of a magazine can we read the text?A. Culture.B. Health.C. Nature.D.Travel.CABB（三）Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn’t need to feel this way. Our experience of time can be possibly changed. By understanding the psychological(心理学的) processes behind our different experiences of time, we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we’re exposed(接触) to new environments and experiences. The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amount of information our minds process. The more information our minds take in, the slower time seems to pass.It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up.How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand(增加) our experience of time. Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time pass ing. It’s possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.27. According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by .A. going to bed on timeB. traveling to new placesC. having dinner as usualD. printing the same materials28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.B. Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.C. We can take in more information by living through our senses.D. We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Slow Down TimeB. Only Time Will TellC. Race Against TimeD. Time Will Not Comc Twice答案：27—29 BCA（四）Have you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression (印象)?”It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true --- the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated you name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and being well-dressed --- are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leavea positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people,generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet --- and impress --- with a cheerful smile.46.What does the underlined word “react” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese?A.回应B. 道歉C. 报告D. 建议47.Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you?A.
