长沙市中考英语英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining street-light. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the street.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the street anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the street next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes."Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.（1）How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.②People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry (=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted.③People who are far-sighted(远视) suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.④Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.⑤Having two good eyes is important for judging(判断) distances(距离). Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.16．We should look after our eyes well ________.A．only when we can see well B．only when we cannot see perfectly C．even though we can see well D．only when we know how important our eyes are17．When things far away seem unclear, one is probably ________.A．near-sighted B．far-sightedC．astigmatic D．suffering from cataracts18．Having two eyes instead of one is especially useful for ________.A．seeing at night B．seeing objects far awayC．looking over a wide area D．judging distances19．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?A ．B ．C ．D ．Sports play an important role in teenagers’ li ves.

For example, young people with untidy bedrooms are usually very creative. They are good at subjects like English, art and even at math. That can be the result when children use their heads to think about how to solve a problem.This doesn’t mean that a bedroom should always be untidy. Cleaning up a bedroom once a month, for example, is usually enough and makes people use their imagination (想象力) more. Children who have untidy bedrooms often remember details.Children should clean their own rooms because this is part of their jobs but not always theparents’. Part of growing up is learning to care for yourself and be able to make your own decisions. These children often do better in life because they’ve learned how to spend free time.Also, sometimes children will have a surprise when they clean their rooms. They may get excited when they find ¥50 under the bed or find their gifts under the quilts.It’s important for children to improve their own personality (个性) and an untidy bedroom can be part of this.23．According to the writer, children with untidy rooms _________.A．are usually very lazy B．are usually very smartC．like to use their heads D．like to clean their rooms24．According to Paragraph 3, we can infer that children who often clean rooms _________.

She will be waiting for you and will tak e care of you.”But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go. “In heaven (天堂), I don’t do anything but sing and smile, and that’s enough for me to be happy.”“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language that men speak?” the child asked.God patted him on the head and said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.” “I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?”“You angel will protect you even if it means risking her life!”At that moment there was much peace in heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey (旅行) very soon. He asked God one more question, softly. “Oh God. if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”God touched the child on the shoulder and answered. “You angel’s name is not hard to remember.

It is passed from generation（一代）to generation only as the spoken word.Food, art and everything else about the city also has a flavor that can’t be found in the rest of China.

You want to jump in and save them but that might put you in danger. What do you do?Soon this won’t be your problem anymore because a robot swimmer called Swumanoid will be on-hand to help.Scientists from Japan created this robot to swim like an Olympic athlete. They mapped the swimmer’s body and how every part moves, so the robot could swim exactly as a human does.Swumanoid can swim the backstroke (仰泳) and the front crawl (自由泳) at a speed of 0.64 meters a second, which is a third of the human world record according to the Daily Mail (每日邮报).Motomu Nakashima, the leader of the study, hopes that robots like Swumanoid can act as lifesavers in the future, helping those in trouble.Besides saving lives, Swumanoid can also be used in swimming research. It can test water resistance (阻力) and work out how people swim. The information collected is expected to help scientists find ways to improve a swimmer's skills.Unlike human swimmers, robots don’t get tired from doing the same stroke (泳姿) again and again, so they do not slow down. Thus, they can collect information more correctly.But the robot is not yet ready to take the place of lifesavers by the pool. Scientists say there are still certain things that need to be improved, such as the motors and waterproofing (防水的) design.52．Swumanoid can swim exactly as a human does because _________.A．it was created by an Olympic swimmerB．it can follow the way swimmers moveC．it can swim the way real swimmers moveD．it can help people who are drowning53．Swumanoid can collect information more efficiently because ________.A．it can do many types of strokes B．it can swim as fast as world record-holders C．it won’t feel tired and never slows down D．it doesn’t feel water resistance54．How many uses for the robot swimmers are mentioned in the passage?A．One.

I felt that life was passing me by.My wish was to save enough to quit（退出）and then go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, I earned enough to make myself able to go abroad. The family got out of the trouble and ▲ . I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it."Enjoyed" is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived.
