As he was complaining about his bad luck, he kept wondering why rich people were always wanting more. “Men seem to never be satisfied unless they own the whole world. As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to buy clothing, I would not want anything more,” the man thought.Just at that moment, Fortune was walking down the street. She read the man’s mind and said to him, “Listen! I have long wished to help you. Hold your bag and I will pour gold into it, but only on this condition: All that falls into the bag will be gold, but every piece that falls upon the ground will become dust. Do you understand?” “Yes!” said the man.The man was so glad that he could hardly wait. He quickly opened his bag, and pieces of gold fell into it. ___▲___ “Is that enough?” asked Fortune. “Not yet,” said the man. “Isn’t your bag cracking (破裂)?” Fortune asked again. “Never fear,” the man replied.

He named her Liang Yan.In 2004, Liang Xianjiang got a serious back problem, so he had to lie in bed a lot. He didn’t want to be a burden (负担) for Liang Yan, so he encouraged her to look for her birth parents.Liang Yan, who was only six years old at that time, refused to leave. Instead, she decided to look after her adoptive father. She did all the housework and learned to make hand-made products to make money.When Liang Yan was a fifth-grader, her teacher Liu Hui learned about her story and reported it to the local government. After that, Liang’s family was included in a low subsistence (生存) living system and a new house was built for the family.Thanks to the help from the local government and other kind-hearted people, Liang could go to school without worrying about her family’s basic needs. She never missed a single class at school, though she had to spend a lot of time taking care of her adoptive father. In 2013, Liang won the title of“‘most beautiful teenager with filial piety(孝心)”.Last June, Liang Yan graduated from university. She chose to become a teacher at the primary school where she had studied. “I want to be a good teacher like Ms. Liu,” she said.1. When did Liang Yan start looking after her adoptive father?A. When she was six.B. When she was a fifth-grader.C. When she was in high school.D. When she was in university.2. From the passage we can learn that Liang’s teacher is veryA. patientB. helpfulC. creativeD. humorous3. Who should Liang Yan be thankful to?①her teacher①her adoptive father①the local government①kind-hearted peopleA.①①B.①①①C.①①①D.①①①①4. The purpose of the passage is to ______ .A. show us what Liang Yan’s life is likeB. teach us how to be a great teacherC. share Liang Yan’s touching storyD. tell the importance of filial pietyDYoung Chinese used to shop and go to the movies in their spare time. But now more and more of them get interested in a new way of having fun. They enjoy playing a puzzle-solving game known as “an escape room (密室逃脱)”.In an escape room, a team of players work together to discover useful information, solve puzzles and finish tasks to get out of an enclosed space. In such a game, different modern technologies, like augmented reality, virtual reality and 5G, are used to create a fantastic world. Live actors also communicate with players to make the experience more real. With all of these, players will tally throw themselves into a story and pay their attention to their final goal (目标)—getting out of the room in a race against the clock.Pu Yixing is an avid player of this game. Every time he arrives in a new city, the young man will play the game there. He sees the game as a new way of socializing. “People spend two hours discovering an untold story and trying to run away from a room. It’s a great experience for every player to enjoy,” Pu said.He Shu, the director of a popular escape room programme, says this game requires teamwork, speed, problem-solving skills, creativity and patience of players. “It gives players a strong sense of achievement when they complete tasks and break out of a room. It needs their reasoning (推理) skills, physical efforts and good teamwork,” she said. “It’s a good ice-breaking tool to make new friends as well as grow closer to the old ones.”So why is this puzzle-solving game so popular? According to a study, the younger generation (一代) is spending more money on experiences than on products. The escape room game provides them with excellent experiences. The other reason is just a FOMO (fear of missing out) effect. If you see someone go to a very cool place, you will probably go to ask, “Where is it?I want to go there as well.”1. The second paragraph is mainly about ______ .A. what the escape room game is likeB. how to play the escape room gameC. when players can enjoy the escape room gameD. why the young like to play the escape room game2. The underlined word “avid” in the third paragraph has the closest meaning to ______ .A. crazyB. impoliteC. scaredD. unlucky3. According to He Shu, people can get ______ from the escape room game.①more patience①new friends and closer friendships①better problem-solving skills①the feeling of being successfulA.①①B.①①C.①①①D.①①①4. Which of the following is the FOMO effect?A. He has solved the problem. I think he is really great.B. The basketball game starts at eight. I mustn’t be late for it.C. All my friends say my new dress is pretty. I’m so happy.D. Many of my classmates have mobile phones. I want one, too.5. What is the best title for the passage?A. The FOMO effect in lifeB. Methods of making new friendsC. The young s new way of having funD. Modem technologies in today’s games四、任务型阅读(共10小题, 每小题2分, 计20分)(一) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is important to make the good impression (印象) from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in anew place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first day in a new job:①First impression can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.①Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.①Pay attention to introductions. You may introduce yourself to your workmates. They will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.①Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If you are not told your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.①Never be the first one to leave. Watch what others do at the end of work hours. It does not look good for you to be eager (急切的) to leave.36．What does the writer think you should do before your first-day work?A．We should find out how to dress in a right way.B．We should ask a lot of questions.C．We should know our duties.D．We should know our workmates well.37．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．You should be the first one to arrive at work.B．You should ask your workmates for your duties.C．You should not be eager to go back home at the end of work hours.D．You are required to arrive 15 minutes earlier.38．From the passage, your “supervisor” is most likely to be your “______”.A．visitor B．teacher C．workmate D．leader 39．What does the writer think about the first impression of a person?A．He thinks it is interesting.B．He thinks it is important.C．He thinks it is necessary.D．He thinks it is worrying.40．What is the best title for this passage?A．Getting a new job B．Tips on how to workC．The first-day work D．The importance of workmatesLet’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Trips to the Moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the Moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in 2016. At a number of scenic spots (风景胜地) on the Moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the Moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians (素食者), and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.41．The passage mainly talks about .A．trips to the Moon in 2060B．developed farming in 2060C．what our lives would be like in 2060D．what people would eat in 2060 42．What is true according to the passage?A．Entertainment is provided only on the Moon.B．Many farms on the Moon have beautiful views.C．It takes the whole day to travel to the Moon.D．It’s easy to take a holiday in Europe at present.43．The food we eat in 2060 .A．is green in the colour B．is the same as todayC．has a lot of pills in it D．is mainly made out of green plants 44．What does the underlined word “decrease” mean in Paragraph 4?A．To become less.B．To become exact.C．To become larger.D．To become unknown.45．We are healthier because of the following EXCEPT that .A．what we eat is green food B．we can treat any illnessC．we are largely vegetarians D．we run the farm by using computersMichael Perham (born on 16th March, 1992 in Hertfordshire, England) is a boy who, at the age of 17, became the youngest person to sail around the world in the 50 feet racing boat, completing his journey on 7th August, 2009.

It caused one problem after another.

People cannot make natural resources, but can get them from the Earth. Examples of natural resources are air, water, copper, wood, oil, wind energy, hydro-electric energy, iron and coal. Refined (精炼的) oil is not a natural resource because people make it.We often say that we can divide natural resources into two different groups: renewable resources and non-renewable resources.A renewable resource can grow again and come back again after we use it. For example, soil, sunlight, water and wood are renewable resources.A non-renewable resource is a resource that cannot grow or come back, or a resource that will take a very long time to come back. For example, coal is a non-renewable resource. When we use more coal, there will be less coal afterward. One day, there will be no coal to make goods. The non-renewable resource can be used up directly, or we can find a renewable resource to replace it. It is important to save non-renewable resources, because if we use them too quickly, there will be not enough in the future.Most natural resources are limited. This means that they will run out. So, it is our responsibility to save resources for the sustainable development (可持续发展).根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

some tips for saving water．Indoors：●Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth，washing your hands，doing dishes，takinga shower and so on．●Catch the cold water that comes out of the tap or shower while you are waiting for the hot water．Use it to water plants or wash your toilet．●Don't wash clothes too often．When you use the washing machine，make sure there is not only a pair of pants in it．Outdoors：●Water the garden and grass at night．This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporation from the day's heat．●Plant small trees under big trees．This will help stop

nearly 100years ago．It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe．The idea was that the waves are like waves in space，caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe．For example，two black holes crashing into each other．Now a group of scientists，including ones from Caltech，MIT and the LIGO Scientific，Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves．David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech．"We have detected gravitational waves．We did it!"What are these gravitational waves？Well，imagine throwing a rock into a pond．When the rock hits the flat surface of the water，it creates waves．Space﹣time is like the surface of the water．So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water．It might be hard to understand，but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space．And when they get to the Earth，the waves pass through，and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by．It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable．But these are not huge waves．They are very，very small，which is why it took so long to find them．You cannot see them with your eyes．They are smaller than the size of an atom．How did the scientists find them？They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO，which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational﹣Wave Observatory．The billion﹣dollar LIGO project is two L﹣shaped observatories．One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state．For years，scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy．The two were spinning around each other，moving closer and closer together．When they finally crashed into each other，it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe，like a giant bell．Those waves，traveling at the speed of light，finally reached the Earth，some l.3billion years later．They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week．So，what does this discovery mean？Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically．32．What are gravitational waves about？A．About the workings of the universe．B．About how black holes form．C．About how the universe began．D．About how the waves form on the surface of water．33．The underlined sentence"two black holes crashing into each other"is used to express ．A．how the universe begins to existB．how gravitational waves formC．how new black holes appearD．how the earth is affected34．Why are gravitational waves difficult to find？A．Because they are too small．B．Because they are far away．C．Because they seldom occur．D．Because they have disappeared．35．With the discovery of gravitational waves，we'll ．A．create a new worldB．make full use of gravitational wavesC．understand the universe in a new wayD．avoid being hit by black holes．四、词汇运用（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词．36．It's important to make full use of every minute

properly？Are they getting enough exercise？According to a new study，these worries may not be completely wrong．Meg Small，a researcher，says that only one third of college students have a healthy diet．Fortunately，according to the research，students seem to be healthier on the days when they communicate with their parents．Students at a large US university were asked to complete some surveys．The surveys included questions about how much time students spent talking to their parents and questions about their eating habits and activity levels．During the two﹣week survey，it was found that they ate 14% more fruits and vegetables，and were 50% more likely to take part in at least 30minutes of sports or activities on the days when they communicated with their parents for 30minutes or more．Meg Small believes that some parents may directly remind their children to eat better foods and take part in activities，but it is also suggested that even if healthy living was not discussed，the very act of having communicated with their parents can be enough to encourage them to make healthier choices and take better care of themselves．This study suggests that the more parents communicate with their children，the healthier lifestyles their children will lead．However，it is equally important to get a balance．By calling too often，parents may quite easily appear to distrust their children，while calling too little，or not at all，sends the message that they do not care．阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格．每空一词．Problem Most college students eat unhealthily at school．About the study ●Students at a U．S．university

capacity and the largest wind power market．The number of water power stations in China is about a quarter of the world's．The rapid development of clean energy has helped China's carbon emissions per unit GDP reduce．"From 2005to 2014，China's energy use per unit GDP went down 29.9percent，and carbon dioxide emissions（二氧化碳排放） per unit of GDP went down 33.8percent．At that time，the numbers of developed

him中what本身是主语，所以后面的语序不用发生改变．故选D．【点评】主要考查宾语从句，一定要注意宾语从句的引导词，以及宾语从句的时态和语序问题．把握好这几点，是做好此类题目的关键！就本题而言主要考查宾语从句的语序．二、完型填空（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）16．It was a mid﹣April﹣a time when the planet Earth turns under the

镇江市中考英语模拟试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(含答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending（假装）to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”. Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory（配件、附件）.Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an edition（发布一个版本） of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book.“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who love their childhood most and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said.（1）Why does a kid wish to be an adult?A. Because he wants to be independent（独立）.B. Because he doesn't want to be controlled by adults.C. Because he wants to experience the real world.D. Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.（2）What can we infer（推断） from the passage?A. Some kidults refuse to grow up.B. Some kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.C. Some kidults think childhood is the best time of their life.D. Some kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life（3）One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that ______.A. it can make adults face the real social lifeB. it can make our society young and full of lifeC. it can increase the sales of children's booksD. it can lead to harmonious（和谐的）relationship between adults and kids（4）Which of the following is the best title for the article?A. Kids or Grown-upsB. Happy ChildhoodC. Fearful AdulthoodD. Kidult Culture【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】这篇短文给我们介绍了一些成年人不想摆脱童年，成为大顽童。

一、选择题1．I eat five meals a day. I have _____ 5 pounds.A．put on B．put up C．put in A解析：A【分析】【详解】句意：我一天吃5顿饭。

我已经增长了5磅。

考查动词短语。

put on增长；put up举起；put in放进去。

根据“I eat five meals a day”，可知，此空指体重增长，故选A。

2．I wonder___Tom had a good time having a picnic yesterday.A．that B．if C．what D．which B解析：B【详解】句意“我想知道汤姆是否在昨天的野餐中玩得很开心”。

本题是宾语从句，that在宾语从句中无意义也不做成份；if在从句中不做成份，译为“是否”；C.what在从句中作成份，指物，译为“什么”；which在从句中作成份，译为“哪一个”。

根据句子可知，从句中不缺成份，且根据wonder可知，译为“是否玩得开心”，用if，故选B。

3．I wonder ______.A．if the program Readers is popular B．how does the program Readers begin C．when did the program Readers begin D．whether is the program Readers popular A 解析：A【详解】句意：我想知道是否这个节目《读者》是受欢迎的。

这里是宾语从句，根据宾语从句用陈述语序，排除BCD，这三个选项是疑问语序，这里是if引导的宾语从句，根据题意，故选A。

4．—I wonder if you ______ to the school concert tomorrow.—If I ______, I will go with pleasure.A．go; am invited B．will go; was invited C．will go; am invited D．go; will be invited C 解析：C【详解】句意：——我想知道你明天是否去听学校音乐会。

People can't live without water. So it's important for everyone to save water. Here are some tips for saving water.Indoors:● Turn the tap off while you are brushing your te eth, washing your hands, doing dishes, taking a shower and so on.● Catch the cold water that comes out of the tap or shower while you are waitingfor the hot water. Use it to water plants or wash your toilet.● Don't wash clothes too often. When y ou use the washing machine, make sure there is not only a pair of pants in it.Outdoors:● Water the garden and grass at night. This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporatio n from the day's heat.● Plant small trees under big trees. This will help stop evaporation and gives some shade(树阴) for your plants. You can also plant a shade garden under trees. ( ) 26.

If you don't slow down to enjoy it, you will definitely miss something. I've got two young boys and I have been an elementary school teacher up until recently. Days were busy. Get the boys ready for school and daycare. Work a full day. Pick them up after school. Cook dinner. Do housework. Get the boys into bed and before I knew it, the day was over! Time for me to hit the sack and do it all over again the next day!Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't change anything. The boys are great. Everyone just gets stuck in these daily things and forget about fun until that one vacation week a year. Everyone needs a break and should have fun all year round. Just set aside one day a week and just go and do something. There are so many fun family things to do that won't use up your money. You don't need to go to that theme park and spend a month's salary on one day. A nice day at the park or museum can entertain everyone. There are nearby state parks that you can easily run out to and camp in for u nder $50 for the whole family. How about family movie night? What about family video game night? There are so many ideas that folks seem to forget about. I encourage you to take a look at Modern Frugal Family. You can find all sorts of fun stuff to do with the family and search for all sorts of bargains. I know you will come up with some great ideas. If you do, you can share them with everyone. So get out there and enjoy life!( ) 29. In the first paragraph, the author mainly talks about her ___________.A．interests B．daily life C．schoolwork D．family gathering ( ) 30.

According to the author, __________ .A．it's no use trying to change our situationB．parents shouldn't push their children too hardC．people should have fun more often in their lifeD．parents today spend too much money on their childrenCIt took 100 years, but finally, scientists proved Albert Einstein’s theory that gravitational waves（引力波）exist.The waves were predicted as part of Einstein’s general theory of relativity nearly 100 years ago. It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe.The idea was that the waves are like waves in space, caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe. For example, two black holes crashing into each other.Now a group of scientists, including ones from Caltech, MIT and the LIGO Scientific, Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves.David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech.“We have detected gravitational waves. We did it!”What are these gravitational waves?Well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. When the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates waves. Space-time is like the surface of the water. So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water.It might be hard to understand, but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space. And when they get to the Earth, the waves pass t hrough, and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by.It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable.But these are not huge waves. They are very, very small, which is why it took so long to find them. You cannot see them with your eyes. They are smaller than the size of an atom.How did the scientists find them?They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO, which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The billion-dollar LIGO project is two L-shaped observatories. One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state.For years, scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy. The two were spinning around each oth er, moving closer and closer together. When they finally crashed into each other, it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell.Those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the Earth, some l. 3 billion years later. They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week.So, what does this discovery mean?Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.( )32. What are gravitational waves about?A. About the workings of the universe.B. About how black holes form.C. About how the universe began.D. About how the waves form on the surface of water.( )33. The underlined senten ce “two black holes crashing into each other” is used to express ________.A. how the universe begins to existB. how gravitational waves formC. how new black holes appearD. how the earth is affected ( )34. Why are gravitational waves difficult to find ?A. Because they are too small.B. Because they are far away.C. Because they seldom occur.D. Because they have disappeared. ( )35. With the discovery of gravitational waves, we’ll ___________.A. create a new worldB. make full use of gravitational wavesC. understand the universe in a new wayD. avoid being hit by black holes四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。
