2019年中考英语阅读理解真题汇编(带详细解析过程)(名师精讲解题方法与技巧+实战训练，建议下载练习)【考点分析】阅读理解旨在考查学生阅读、理解的能力。

近几年来，中考英语题中的阅读理解材料新颖，题材丰富，考查学生综合推断能力、根据语篇猜单词意思的能力的力度加大，考查学生关注细节的能力占很大部分。

所以学生往往要么没能正确理解语篇中某些句子的意思，在细节题上丢分，要么就是对语篇的整体把握不够，在综合题或者推断题方面丢分。

那么到底怎么做好阅读理解这一题型呢？一、解题思路（一）先读问题，弄清考查要点，以便能带着问题看文章，这样会心中有数，有的放矢。

（二）快速浏览全文，掌握全貌，注意发现与问题有关的信息，如果时间紧，至少要扫视一下起首段和尾段。

再把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。

此时，不要忙于答题。

（三）细读原文，捕捉相关信息词，掌握短文细节内容。

这是解题的关键，应特别注意以下几点：1．抓住四个"W"和一个"H"，就是边读边用铅笔做些标记，把What (事件)，When （时间），Where（地点），Why（原因），How（经过）划出来。

抓住了四个“W”和一个“H”，就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。

2．抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等。

因为这些词具有因果，让步，递进，转折，指代，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。

这对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。

3．注意领会文章的寓意。

4．根据题意，初选答案。

这一步须仔细审题，领会测试要求，确定解题方法。

对那些明显的，有把握的题可以断然确定，不必把其余三个答案再作推敲而浪费时间：有些略难的题，应再查阅短文（不是重读一遍），迅速找出依据，予以排除。

常用的解题方法有如下几种：①直接解题法。

即从原文中直接找出答案。

2019年中考真题英语分项汇编专题17 任务型阅读考点4 综合任务Passage 1（2019 •哈尔滨）Dinosaurs(恐龙) once lived on the earth for a long time. They suddenly disappeared millions of years ago. What happened to them? That’s still a mystery. People never stop searching for the answer.Some US scientists say it is because there were not enough male(雄性的) dinosaurs. They got this idea after researching crocodiles(鳄鱼).Mother crocodiles lay eggs and later baby crocodiles come out. The local temperature decides the sex(性别) of the baby crocodile. When the eggs are at a temperature of 26℃to 30℃, the babies are all girls; when the temperature is 30℃ to 34℃, there are both boys and girls; when it is 34℃ to 36℃, only boys are born.Dinosaurs' babies also came from eggs. So scientists have given us a new picture: millions of years ago, it suddenly became very cold. Almost all dinosaur babies were girls. There were fewer and fewer male dinosaurs. Mother dinosaurs could not give birth to more babies. Finally, these powerful animals disappeared.阅读短文，根据英文释义及首字母提示拼写单词。

Asian Culture Carnival （嘉年华），tears filled my eyes．It's Zhang Yixing，the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China，and the very one who stopped me from falling．Three years ago，my new school life began．As a junior boy from the countryside，I could hardly keep up．I tried，but still felt like an outsider．Nobody would pick me for teamwork．So I stayed in the corner，hanging my head low as if I didn't care．There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless．Then on May 4，I was "colorless" in Yixing's book about his life．How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol （青年偶像）？I read the book again，smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his promise to his mum．Something wet my eyes when he joked about his training years in Korea．He doubled hispractice，pushing himself so hard as to be called "the trainee （练习生）like god"．He said it probably meant "the train like mad"．I might have tried，but not as hard as he did．"Whenever I feel I might be falling，I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment．" Says Yixing．For me，this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside．So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time．Luckily，every Youth Day after that，Yixing would be there on CCTV，encouraging me with his progress．When someone asked him what color his training life was，Yixing smiled，"It's colorless．I don't know what color effort is．"But effort pays．Not he's standing at the Asian Culture Carnival，and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger．（1）When the writer just moved to the city，he．A．enjoyed his new school lifeB．had a hard time at his new schoolC．stood outside the classroomD．wanted to go back to the countryside（2）Zhang Yixing was called "the trainee like god" because．A．he kept his promise to his mumB．he pushed everything away from himC．he was really good at telling jokesD．he spent so much time in practicing（3）The writer mainly wants to tell us that．A．sometimes people choose to live a life without colorB．we can make a difference if we work hard enoughC．great effort can make you a great singer and dancerD．school life can be full of colors if we read more books（4）We can infer （推断）that the writer．A．is ready for a trip around the worldB．is leaving to sing and danceC．is expecting a better future for himselfD．is writing a book about himself13．（2019•广州）They say that"travel is the best teacher"and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake （1587﹣1641）．His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake，not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography．Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family，Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel．When he was 18，however．Xu's father died and so，it seemed，did his travelling dreams．He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60﹣year﹣old mother as tradition required．But his mother had different ideas．Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences，this modern﹣thinking woman refused to keep her son at home．She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year，when there was less farm work．So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support，Xu set off for the first time，leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well．He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years．During this time，he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom，carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary This diary，which once had over 500，000 words，would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake．Although rich，Xu avoided comfortable travel，preferring to go almost everywhere on foot．This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world．Many of his trips were to hard﹣to﹣reach mountain areas，and through wild forests where few people lived．His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however．Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick，robbed and beaten during his journeys Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey，a 4﹣year trip through the Southwest of China．He died in 1641．soon after returning to his hometown for the last time．When his diary was finally printed years after his death，much of it had been destroyed or lost．Although incomplete，it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world．（1）What is the passage mainly about ？A．The general details of Xu Xiake's life storyB．The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travelsC．The important discoveries made by Xu XiakeD．The influence of Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake（2）Which of the following best describes Xu's mother ？A．Strict but interestingB．Kind but uneducatedC．Helpful and hardworkingD．Supportive and open﹣minded（3）Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels？A．It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of peopleB．It helped him to save money and travel for a longer timeC．It allowed him to see and study the environment in detailD．It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in（4）What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu xiake ？A．It was only made public after Xu diedB．It made Xu very famous during his lifetimeC．It was the first travel book ever written in ChinaD．It was mainly about the different people of China（5）What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's lite ？a．He went on his first journey．b．His book was finally printedC．He returned to his hometown for the last timed．He developed an interest in books about other placese．He started managing the family farm after his father diedA．a﹣e﹣d﹣c﹣bB．d﹣e﹣a﹣c﹣bC．d﹣e﹣a﹣bD．e﹣d﹣a﹣b﹣c。

2019年中考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案：克服与改变Im not much of a crier most of the time. But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasnt able to control myself.Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. May be I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. Im sorry, sir. Its just a really good book! But I didnt say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was okay if he thought I was crazy. Id rather be crazy than be the kind of person who wouldnt cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldnt let herself feel anything at all.Ive been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didnt think I was crazy. But now I dont want to be that girl any morethat bored and sad girl. Id rather be this girl who is able to forgive(原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.。

2019届中考英语阅读理解50篇( 精品训练题)1When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw t he rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?A. They ate it in a polite way.B. They only ate its best part.C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer’s busy lifeC. the writer’s decision of making moneyD. the writer’s hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. one has to work hard to reach his goalB. a friend in need is a friend in deedC. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD2Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighboring farms.For 35 years they farmed side by side, sharing machinery and goods as needed, without a single proble. However，one autumn，things changed.It began with a tiny disagreement about a horse，which grew into a major difference.

Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much. Please stay.I have much more for you to do.” “I’d love to.”the builder said quietly，“but，I have many more bridges to build.”1.What was the cause of the disagreement between the two brothers?A.The digging of the creek.B.A problem about a farm animal.C.Who owned the field between the farms.D.Who would pay for building the fence.2.The underlined expression“ go him one better” in paragraph 4 means .A.do something even worseB. improve the situationC.point out his mistakeD.help him out3.What do we know about the brothers?A.They had been fighting for many years.B.Their farms were not very successful.C.They finally realized their mistakes.D.They liked building bridges.4.Why did the builder build the bridge?A.He needed a way to get across the river.B.There was not enough wood for the fence.C.He misunderstood Paul’s instructions.D.He wanted to bring the brothers together.5.In what order did the following take place in the story?a.The brothers stood on the bridge.b.Jason dug the creek.c.The brothers became angry with each other,d.The builder asked for work.e.Paul went into town.A.b，c，e，d，aB.c，b，d，e，aC.b，e，c，a，dD.c，d，b，a，e答案：BACDB3Tom walked into a shop .

They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke theScots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.1. Hundreds of years ago there was a war between ________.A. Roman army and North EnglandB.

Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the youngmen to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the horse died!”( )1.The military camp was built in the village to .A. stop the soldiers from going to townsB. stop the soldiers from meeting their friendsC. train the new soldiersD. make the young men live quietly( )2.Mr Hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because .A. he was kind to themB. they felt lonelyC. they had something important to doD. they were the best of all( )3.The young officer was worried because .A. a traffic accident had happenedB. he was afraid something happened to the nine soldiersC. the nine soldiers would come backD. the nine soldiers drank too much in the town( )4.The nine soldiers returned to the camp late because .A. something was wrong with their busesB. their horses died on the return wayC. it took them much time to run backD. they all drank much in the town( )5.Which answer do you think is true?A.

One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra(额外的) work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn’t be able to play with his son. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. Looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently(耐心地) tore (撕) it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.When he got home, his son wanted to play with him, but he spread (铺) all the pieces of the map on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time his son could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, “OK, it’s finished. Can we playnow?” The man was surprised, saying, “That’s impossible. Let’s go and see.” And sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in its place.

He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to mak e her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose.
