中考时文阅读理解 带详解

中考语文课外阅读专题专练：最新时文阅读一、父亲挑书院殿文①重一百多斤的书压在六十多岁的父亲的肩上。

②我几次请求父亲放下担子让我挑一气，都被顶了回来。

没办法，我只得借着电筒发出的可怜的光跟在父亲修长的身子后面，背上背着个装有几件衣服的旅行包和一把红色吉它，样子潇洒得要命。

③我很清楚父亲此刻的心情。

中学时我因母亲病逝，被迫从滇东北转到滇东南就读。

6年多来，父亲都是形单影只地过着独身生活，一大把年纪了，仍起早贪黑地劳作，其苦不言而喻。

今年大学毕业，在众亲友的劝说下，我最终放弃了在昆明一报社工作的机会，回到离别多年的家乡。

这一决定出台后，最高兴的当然是父亲了。

“这回有个说知心话的地方了！”父亲逢人便说。

④一路上，父亲重复着那句重复了多年的话：“做人不做浮漂草，要做水上捕鱼人。

”碰上熟人问：“要干什么去？”他就抬高本来就很宏亮的声音：“秀才搬家——尽是书。

帮娃娃挑书到他舅舅家，请他家的客车送到城里去，明天娃娃就要到城里上班去了。

”“这回算得了！”对方回敬了一声。

“嗨！”对话在父亲的这一声里结束。

⑤农村人的“要干什么去”是路上招呼的客套话，今天做的事又是父亲盼了很多年的，于是，在回话时父亲理所当然地欣慰了一番，就好像辛苦几十年就是为了等这几句让人欣慰的话从内心里流出来，以至于每一个字都吐得相当有力，像钉子落到玻璃板上一样，发出的声音乐曲般悠扬。

尤其是那个“嗨”字。

只可惜，父亲的身子摇出来的每一个动作，都使我联想到“蹒跚”这个词，加之脚下不时地打滑，父亲几乎是踉跄而行了。

⑥我没有再要求父亲让我挑一气了。

这个时候，即使再加上100斤，只要是书——能照亮我的人生之路的赋予我智慧的书，父亲也会固执地把它挑在肩上。

我小心地跟在后面。

看着被书的重量挤压成弓形的父亲，眼里溢满了一种闪亮的东西，让我觉得满天都是星星，我也像是借着这满天的星星发出的光前行了。

⑦希望赋予人的力量是何等的巨大啊！⑧从今以后，我想我会更加珍爱这些书——即便不能为父亲做些什么。

A，阅读理解Technology has brought ancient poets “back to life”. At the World Robot Conference 2023 in late August in Beijing, there were two robots that looked like the Chinese poets Li Bai and Du Fu. While Li Bai was holding up a cup of wine, Du Fu was sitting at a desk, writing.These are called bionic (仿生的) robots. The robot’s skin is usually made of silicone (硅胶),CGTN explained in a video about Liaoning-based producer EXROBOTS. The robot’s skin is very soft. You can even see veins (血管) under the skin.Another human-like robot also attracted attention recently. It was created by US company Apptronik. Named Apollo, it has around 30 muscles (肌肉). For now, the robot can only make simple movements, such as walking and waving . The robot’s head has cameras and sensors (传感器) inside. They can help it map out a 360-degree view (景象) of its environment. They also help the robot keep balance when walking on unstable (不稳定的) surfaces.Nowadays, bionic human-like robots mostly work with humans, such as by being tour guides or helpingvisitors at front desks. This could be because people are comfortable living and working with machines that look and act like them. They can “strike a chord (引起共鸣) with people,” a US robotics scientist Marc Raibert told New Yorker.As more human-like robots come out, safety will be the key, according to the Robot Report website. When a 70-kilogram robot breaks down and falls, humans nearby may get hurt.1. What does “brought ancient poets ‘back to life’” mean in Paragraph 1?A. Technology can make ancient poets come back to life.B. The robots looked and acted like real ancient poets.C. Visitors can experience real ancient life with new technology.D. The robots can create better poems than poets.2. The skin of robots made by EXROBOTS shows _____.A. how human-like their robots areB. how soft the robot’s skin isC. what the robot’s skin is made fromD. how different it is from other robots3. What can Apollo do with built-in sensors?A. Wave at humans.B. Walk stably.C. Know human faces.D. Draw attention.4. In which situation can bionic robots help you now?A. When you want someone to repair your car.B. When you want someone to travel with you.C. When you don’t want to do housework.D. When you want to know the floor information of a building.5. What do people worry about with human-like robots?A. Users may fall in love with the robots.B. Human-like robots look scary.C. The robots’ weight may cause problems.D. The robots may get out of control.【答案】BABDC【解析】本文介绍人形机器人的一些应用和特点。

More than 30 kinds of seeds, including that of rice, oats etc., were placed inside the Chang’e 5 spacecraft and went around the moon for about 15 days.Scientists wished to check what would happen to the seeds after the task. This task offered good opportunities to scientists, which helped them to deepen their studies on the effect of cosmic rays (宇宙射线) on the growth and development of life on Earth.Space-based mutation breeding (太空诱变育种) refers to the process of placing seeds in the environment such as microgravity (微重力), vacuums (真空) and cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) during a spaceflight and then sending them back to Earth for further study and planting. Scientists study and examine several generations of plants grown from seeds which went into the space and study their changes-some are desirable while others are bad and negative. Those with good changes will be kept for further research, andwill be introduced to farmers after getting permission.Space breeding (育种) can make the seeds change faster than the experiments on the earth and can bring about some wonderful results. Compared with the traditional methods, space-developed methods can make the seeds grow much better, such as having shorter growth periods and having more power to fight against diseases and insect.China did its first space breeding experiment in 1987, using a satellite to carry seeds into space. Since then, hundreds of kinds of seeds and seedlings have traveled with dozens of Chinese spaceships. Space breeding has helped to produce more than 200 new types of mutated plants in China that have been allowed to be planted across the country from grains to vegetables and fruits.The Chang’e 5 brought back 1, 731 grams of moon’s rock and soil to Earth, showing a historic achievement 44 years after the last moon’s rock and soil were taken back.6．Why were the seeds placed inside Chang’e 5?A．To pick out the best seeds.B．To understand the environment of the space.C．To study the cosmic rays.D．To put them in a special environment.7．The underlined word “desirable” in paragraph 3 is probably closest to in meaning ________. A．worse B．good C．useless D．correct8．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Chang’e 5 flew around the moon for about 23 days.B．China was the first to do a space breeding experiment.C．It is some time since seeds were last taken into space.D．Space breeding is good for farming.9．From the passage, we can infer that ________.A．space breeding is the best way to develop the seedsB．China is the first country to do space breeding experimentC．China will spend more time and energy on space breedingD．Chang’e 5 spacecraft will fly to the moon again10．What is the best title of the passage?A．Chang’e 5 Returns with a Big PackageB．Space-bred Seeds Offer Great ChancesC．Plant Mutations Result in a Better LifeD．Seeds from Space Show a New History03（2022·河南省实验中学三模）Facial-recognition cameras are everywhere-even in your smart phone. Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors, or make quick payments. But there is a problem during the epidemic (疫情): everyone wears masks. What a headache!Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering and Technology (E&T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system. It can recognize (辨认) 95% of people when they wear masks.What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides from Camegie Mellon University studies facial-recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same—even if we put on weight. As long as there are enough data from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize us.Tech5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company’s products scan (扫描) the shape of your face. They also scan your iris, which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech5 hopes to ignore (忽略) all of the face below the nose.This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can discover criminals, even when they wear masks,” said Huang Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force.Huang pointed out one big weakness: it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Lei said to E&T.根据材料内容，选择最佳答案。

Another summer Katie was three years old, she liked to touch everything. But Dad didn’t watch her every minute when she tried to catch small ducks around or fish from water. “Kee-aah!

The non-profit(非营利) group says droughts(干旱)，wildfires and development projects played a part in the drop in the koala population. They are strongly advising the government to do more to protect the animal's environment.The group guesses the koala population has dropped to less than 58,000 this yea r from more than80,000 in 2018. The biggest decrease is in the state of New South Wales, where the number of koalas has dropped by 41 percent. Deborah Tabart, leader of the Australianto have more than 5,000 koalas. Some areas are believed to have as few as five or ten. Tabart said the country needs a koala protection law. She added, “What we worry about is places like western New South Wales where droughts have lasted for over ten years. Now, the effect is beginning to show up—river systems completely dry and redgum trees(红桉树)，which are the lifeblood of koalas,are dead.”The loss in New South Wales likely sped up after large forest areas were destroyed(毁坏) by wildfires in late 2019 and early 2020. Some of those areas already had no koalas. Land clearing by building developers and road builders has also destroyed the koala's environment.“I think everyone gets it, and we've got to change.But if those building-machines keep working, then I really fear for the koalas,”Tabart said.1.What did the group advise the government to do?A. Save koalas from dying out.B. Stop all development projects.C. Put out the wildfire immediately.D. Provide enough water for koalas.2.Wha t does the underlined word“dramatic”in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Exciting.B. Surprising.C. Relaxing.D. Interesting.3.How does the writer tell us about koalas' situation in Paragraph 2?A. By listing numbers.B. By giving examples.C. By asking questions.D. By analyzing facts.4. Which of the following is TRUE according to Tabart?A. New South Wales is the only place they care about.B. The rivers and red gum trees are influenced by the koalas.C. Australia needs to make a law to protect the koalas.D. Everyone understands that building- machines should stop working.5.What's the main idea of the passage?A. Some are hunting koalas in Australia.B. Koalas in Australia are in great danger.C. Development has put koalas in danger.D. Everyone should take actions to protect Koalas.【译文】澳大利亚考拉基金会表示，在过去的三年间，澳大利亚失去了约30%的考拉。

During the Tang Dynasty(618-907),officials worked for10days and rested for one day.They usually bathed and washed their hair on their day off,which was called xiumu(休沐).There were also many public holidays in ancient times,such as Spring Festival,winter solstice and Mid-Autumn Festival.People like farmers and businessmen usually worked most of the year,but even the most hard-working people would take a few days off during Spring Festival.Smart ways of staying coolIn modern times,we can enjoy cold drinks in air-conditioned rooms to stay cool.In ancient times,though people didn’t have these things,they had their own wisdom to get through the heated summer.As early as the Zhou Dynasty,there was a special department(部门)called the“ice administration”whose workers were responsible for collecting ice blocks(冰块)in winter and storing them in an icehouse.When summer came,people could take the ice blocks home and use them to make their rooms cooler.The ice could also be used to make cold drinks.The“bingjian(冰鉴)”was a type of ancient fridge.It was a big box made of ceramic(陶),wood or metal(金属)filled with ice.People would put drinks inside and close the lid(盖子),and the drinks would become colder over time.There was a kind of pillow made of porcelain(瓷器)that felt pleasantly cool.It is said that Emperor Qianlong (1711-99)of the Qing Dynasty liked these pillows.Ancient people also wove reeds(芦苇)or bamboo into bed mats (垫子)to sleep on.They’re still used today.Takeouts not a new thingWith a takeouts app,you can order any dishes you’d like to eat and they just come to your door within minutes.In fact,takeout is not a new thing.There was takeout as far back as the Song Dynasty(960-1279).According to history books,Emperor Xiaozong(1127-1194)liked to order takeout late at night.His servants would go around the city to pick up dishes and bring them back to the palace.Ordinary people also ordered takeout.Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and yell(吆喝)out which dishes could be ordered that day.People would then place an ter,delivery(递送)workers would bring food to their homes.In the famous Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival (《清明上河图》),a takeout worker can be seen on a delivery with food in hand.People at the time even had special meal boxes for takeout dishes.It was a long wooden box with several layers.They also used warming plates made of two layers of porcelain(瓷).Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm.1.Why were there no weekends in ancient times?A.Because ancient people were more hard-working than modern ones.B.Because ancient people didn’t use a weekly calendar.C.Because the emperors didn’t allow their people to have a rest.D.Because ancient people wanted to make more money.2.How many ways are mentioned to stay cool in ancient China in the passage?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.3.How did people in ancient times keep takeout dishes warm?A.They put hot water between plates.B.They lit candles under the dishes.C.They covered the dishes with thick cloth.D.They walked fast to deliver(送)the dishes.4.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?A.In ancient China,people like farmers and businessmen worked all year round.B.Ancient people used bed mats made of silk to stay cool.C.Along the River During the Qingming Festival was painted in Song Dynasty.D.Modern people still have the same lifestyles as ancient people.5.Where can we read this passage probably?A.In a novel.B.In a science book.C.In a history magazine.D.In a cooking book.【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.C 5.C【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍古代人的生活方式。

语法填空：李白诗歌赏析-《月下独酌》A 阅读理解ChatGPT now has an upgrade (升级) with its new AI model, GPT-4o.But why “o”? It stands for “omni”, which means it can do “all things” in “all ways”. It is stronger than any of the GPT models that came before it.GPT-4o can understand orders through voice, text or images . It can also give answers in all these types of media, said its maker OpenAI. When chatting with you, it can respond as fast as a person can. “Talking to a computer has never felt really natural for me; now it does,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a blog post.The new model may become your “new best friend” as it can help you with many things. It can teach you new languages, summarize a meeting and translate things really fast. But most helpful of all, GPT-4o can be your personal teacher.In a video on the OpenAI website, GPT-4o helped a boy named Imran Khan with a math problem. Instead of giving him the answer, it asked, “Do you remember the formula (公式)?” This helped Khan think step by step. When Khan made mistakes, GPT-4o gave hints (提示) and let him try again, instead of just telling him the answer. These abilities are making lots of people think and talk about the power of GPT-4o. “Teachers give classes to many students at the same time. Now with AI, each person’s learning experience is tailored (定制) to their requirements. It fits what a student needs,” a viewer of the video wrote online. But others also worry it might take away some teachers’ jobs.Still, many people see hope. If used right, GPT-4o can give more support to people like the blind or those feeling lonely, Emma Darcy, who works at Denbigh High School in the UK, told Forbes.1. You can communicate with GPT-4o through_____.a. textb. voicec. imaginationd. imagese. videosA. abcB. abdC. bcdD. cde2. Sam Altman’s words showed that _____.A. GPT-4o is as smart as a humanB. talking to AI is still impossibleC. GPT-4o can replace mediaD. GPT-4o made big progress3. How does GPT-4o help Imran Khan with his math problem in the video?A. By giving him the answer directly.B. By guiding him step by step.C. By telling him the key formula.D. By pointing out his mistakes.4. What is people’s worry about GPT-4o according to the story?A. It may make some teachers lose their jobs.B. It may help students cheat in exams.C. It may totally change our education.D. It helps students learn independently.5. What good side does Emma Darcy see in GPT-4o?A. It can create more jobs for society.B. It can help blind or lonely people.C. It can upgrade our school education.D. It can make people work faster.【答案】BDBAB【解析】ChatGPT 推出了新的AI模型GPT-4o，它能够通过语音、文本或图像理解指令，并以同样的方式给出回答。

2024年中考英语新热点时文阅读-科学技术01（2023·广西南宁·统考三模）Science and technology will continue to develop fast in 2023.

Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC．Digital moneyWe need to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.Bionic（仿生的）eyeIt’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes.A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution（高清的）image could be just a few years away.Self-driving carsUnlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted（分神）by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.6．What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?A．We use digital money to shop online without paying money.B．Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.C．Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card.D．ATM cards are always popular.7．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.B．Human drivers won’t get distracted by something outside.C．The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.D．There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used.8．From the report, we can learn some information about ______.A．culture and art B．industry and farmingC．science and technology D．traffic and shopping9．Which of the following can be predicted（预测）from the passage?A．There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road.B．The blind could use cameras to see things around.C．We would live a hard life with digital money.D．Robots would control the world.03（2023·湖南长沙·长沙市南雅中学校考二模）China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统), or BDS. It becomes a new system in the world with a global navigation network (全球导航网络). The other three systems are GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. As we know, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?The other three systems have 24 satellites. China’s BDS has six more satellites. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.BDS has another advantage-the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas that are not covered by communication signals (信号), users can send short messages. Even in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas, BDS can also make the short message service available.With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.As the most populous country, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development. In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And BDS contributes about 80% of it. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.10．Which one is the global navigation satellite system of China?A．BDS.B．GPS of the US.C．GLONASS of Russia.11．How many satellites does BeiDou-3 have in total?A．6.B．24.C．30.12．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” mean in Paragraph 4?A．人口众多的B．无人居住的C．风平浪静的13．What are true about China’s BDS according to Paragraph 5?a. It has met the needs of China’s development.b. It is regarded as good business.c. It has caused a number of people to lose their jobs.A．a, c B．a, b C．b, c14．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?A．Technology.B．Culture.C．History.04（2022秋·广东梅州·九年级校考阶段练习）The local government of Haidian and the Internet company Baidu had an agreement in January, 2018. They wanted to develop the “smart city” together. Haidian Park was chosen by them. Why was Haidian Park chosen? It is because the park covers about 34 hectares (公顷) near the 4th Ring Road. And it received about 1.2 million tourists last year. It took the workers 10 months to change Haidian Park into an artificial intelligence AI (人工智能) theme park. It was opened to the public in early November.Now the park has driverless buses, smart lamp posts (灯柱) and smart speakers. The buses themselves can run according to the directions from a computer. The smart lamp posts can record a lot of data quickly and well. The smart speakers can understand human instructions correctly. The park gives people a totally new look. People can experience different artificial intelligence here.Che Jianguo said that a total of 10 government departments and companies took part in the rebuilding of the park over the past 10 months. He comes from the park office and he is in charge of the program.In recent years, Chinese high-tech companies begin to do some things in the artificial intelligence industry.

However, all these methods become less useful compared with the unlimited(无限的) power provided by the Sun. That’s why researchers have been working to make solar-powered drones that can not only stay in the air for longer but also perform more tasks while in the sky.In 2018, China tested the first version(版本) of Morning Star, which was 91 feet wide. Made from a special kind of plastic, the drone was so light, weighing only 41 pounds. Compared with it, the Morning Star 50 is much larger and has a wingspan(翼展) of 164 feet.On September 3, Morning Star 50 took off from an airport in Yulin City in the Shaanxi province in northwest China and landed back 26 minutes later after a smooth flight. Staff told some local reporters that all flight systemsworked normally. This is a good start for future flights of the solar-powered drone that could last for many days or even months at a time.In the US, Airbus has been testing the Zephyr solar-powered drones for the past few years. Its latest version, the Zephyr S, came close to breaking the record for the longest flight. It stayed in the air for 64 days. Unluckily, the drone fell onto the ground only a few hours before it would have set a new record.19．Which one is an advantage of solar-powered drones researchers want?A．They’re cheaper than others.B．They can fly in bad weather.C．They fly at a higher speed.D．They can stay in the air for longer.20．What made the first version of Morning Star light?A．Its look.B．Its material.C．The power it uses.D．The tasks it performs.21．What can we know about Zephyr S?A．It failed to land smoothly.B．It flew for only a few hours.C．It set a new record in the US.D．It had been tested for many years.22．What’s the main purpose of the text?A．To compare different drones.B．To report a drone’s test flight.C．To discuss drones’ future.D．To tell the importance of drones.06（2022秋·广东深圳·九年级校考期末）Most people have a place to call home on Earth. What about in outer space? The International Space Station(ISS) became our first “home” in space in 2000. It welcomed its first crew that year, paving the way for 20 years of future research.“You just have this impression that we’re all citizens of not a particular country, but of the planet,” former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly told National Geographic about working in ISS. “We’re all in this thing called humanity together.”Over the past 20 years, the ISS has mainly been used as a science lab, hosting 241 people from 19 countries, according to NASA．They have gone on spacewalks, done research on how space affects the human body, and even grown plants in space.The station’s development has also benefited people on Earth. For example, the station’s water purification(净化) technology has been used in poor areas to provide clean drinking water. The station also helps to warn us of natural disasters, such as earthquakes.However, after being our home in space for over 7000 days, the station is starting to get old. It has leaked(泄露) air a few times. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, scientists will bring it down to Earth. It is believed that Earth’s atmosphere will burn up most of the station. Other debris(残骸) will fall into the Pacific Ocean.In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station that is smaller than the ISS near the moon. Also, China will have its own space station up and running in 2022.23．What did Scott Kelly feel about his work in space?A．Comfortable.B．Proud.C．Bored.D．Lonely.24．What haven’t the astronauts done while working in ISS?A．Clean the raindrops.B．Walk on space.C．Study how space affects the human body.D．Grow plants.25．What can we infer from the 5th paragraph?A．Though the ISS getting old, it will be improved and stay in space.B．The Earth’s atmosphere will help bring the ISS down to Earth.C．The whole station will soon be burnt up and fall into the ocean.D．The ISS will be brought back to Earth after a few years.26．What do we know about the International Space Station?A．It is the first space station launched by NASA．B．It mainly develops water purification technology.C．It benefits all the human beings on Earth.D．It can keep running until 2023.27．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Our Home in Space.B．Visiting the ISS.C．A New Space Station.D．Working in Outer Space.参考答案：1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A【导语】本文主要讲述2023年，科学技术将继续快速发展。
