Some names have bee famous because they are always connected with important things. One of these names is that of Alfred Nobel, who founded the famous Nobel Prizes.Nobel was born in Sweden in 1833. He became an engineer and an inventor. He was particularly interested in explosives. These were very dangerous in those days, and Nobel's own brother was killed in an explosion in their factory.In 1867, Nobel invented dynamite. This was a very powerful explosive, but unlike the others it was safe to handle. The invention made Nobel a very wealthy man.However, he was never particularly happy. He realized that his invention was being used for warlike purposes, and that thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands of people were being killed and injured in wars with his explosives.When he died in 1896, he left over 3 million pounds to be spent setting up five prizes each year. These prizes were to be given to people who had made outstanding contributions to peace, to science, and to literature. Originally there were five rewards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony.These Nobel Prizes became famous and because of them we still remember the name of Nobel.prehension Questions:A. it is less powerful and safe to handle.B. it is more powerful but less safe to handle.C. it is both powerful and safe.D. it won't kill people.4.

Men often hold the door open for ladies and walk in behind them. But I am not sure if this is still necessary today. We no longer need, perhaps, to always let the ladies go first.In the age of “Ladies first,” women were generally considered to be the weaker sex. Men, therefore, had to show courtesy (谦恭) to women. Therefore, the phrase “Ladies first” conveys (传递) the stereotype (刻板印象) that women are born weaker and need special protection.Modern women, however, are no less capable than men. Many of them have strong working abilities and have made great contributions (贡献) to our society. In 2015, Tu Youyou, a female scientist, became the first Chinese winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Last year, Chloe Zhao, a female director, was awarded the Golden Lion, the top prize at the Venice Film Festival. These examples show that women are no longer weaker than men.I believe that these days, women and men should be treated equally. Mutual (相互的) respect is what we need today. “Ladies first,”meanwhile, has become an outdated idea. I hope that people will stop saying “Ladies first.” The phrase only deepens the stereotyp e that women are weaker. I don’t want to enjoy any “benefits”of being a woman or be treated unfairly just because of my gender (性别).6. In the age of “ladies first”, _______ were generally considered to be th e weaker sex.A. menB. womenC. childrenD. the old7. _______ was the first Chinese winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.A. Mo YanB. Chloe ZhaoC. Tu YouyouD. Chen-Ning Franklin8. The writer thinks _______.A. women are the weaker sexB. women should go firstC. men should respect womenD. women and men should be treated equally3At the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of writers combined creative writing with statement of national identity. China’s Lu Xun is a familiar example, along with W.B. Yeats, Ireland’s greate st poet and the founder of the patriotic “Celtic Twilight” cultural movement. A third great literary patriot is the Bengali and Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore(1861-1941).Tagore renewed Bengali writing, intr oducing the common people’s language into poetry and writing about the common people too. By showing the value of Bengali literature, he showed the reasons for the independence of India as a nation. It’s no surprise that he strongly supported his country’s independence from the British.Tagore wasn’t ju st a poet, but also an novelist, a playwright, and an essayist. The range of his talents made him famous not only in India, but across the world.His fame led to invitations to travel; on his journeys abroad he met with other famous figures in the arts, po litics and sciences. He was W.B, Yeats’ guest in Ireland and once meet Einstein, as well as meeting many world leaders. The inspiration that came from such a varied life fed into his work, giving it an international character.Since it is so varied, it’s difficult to generalize about Tagore’s writing. But it’s impossible not to notice a strong awareness of loss in it. Take these lines from his poem Golden Boat, included in a book that won him in 1913, world li terature’s highest honor, the Nobel Prize. Tagor e imagines life as a boat which floats on, leaving him, a dead man, on the shore “All I had achieved was carried off on the golden boat-only I was left behind.”9. How are Lu Xun, Yeats and Tagore similar?A. They were all at the beginning of the 20th century.B. They are all wealthy writers.C. They are all great literary patriots.D. They all won the Noble Prize.10. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Tagore’s writing style.B. Tagore’s life in In dia.C. Tagore’s interest in Bengali literature.D. Tagore’s support for his country’s independence.11. What gave an international character to Tagore’s work?A. His fame.B. His journeys abroad.C. Other famous figures in the world.D. His varied life.12. By taking lines from the poem golden boats, the author means to prove ________.A. Tagore’s love for his motherland.B. Tagore’s talents in varied fields.C. Tagore’s awareness of loss in his work.D. Tagore’s great achievement in world literature.4If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global(全球的) and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Ar e today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (自拍) to become successful in real life-or “IRL”, as you would say?Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in th e 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing,drawing or sports. With partners who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic(热情的)and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s a reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. I believe that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud) .13. What do we know about the younger teenagers from Paragraph 1?A. They could make the most money.B. They became more and more silent.C. They may have no doubt good-looking.D. They would get much more perfect.14. According to Paragraph2, why are teenagers called the “face-do wn generation”?A. They are busy texting.B. They take selfies everywhere.C. They use their phones a lot.D. They have no time with family.15. What is a “helicopter parent” according to Paragraph 3?A. It prefers to live like teenagers.B. It often flies everywhere.C. It travels with their children.D. It plans everything for children.16. According to Paragraph 4, what does the writer think about the younger generation?A. Believable.B. Powerful.C. Warm-hearted.D. Independent.17. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) to the younger generation?A. To tell them how to choose the phone.B. To compare some adults’ ideas about them.C. To encourage them to take action.D. To teach them how to learn from Malala.5You may know the English letters A, B and C, but do you know there are people called "ABC"? You may like eating bananas, but do you know there are people called "banana persons"? If you don't know, I will tell you about it. They are some Chinese people like you and me, but they aren't in China. Why do people call them like that?If we call somebody an ABC person, we mean he or she is a Chinese but was born(出生) in America. Sometimes, people also call them "banana persons". A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So if somebody is a "banana person", he or she is "white" inside and "yellow" outside. By saying that, we mean he or she has yellow skin(皮肤) but does things in an American way. "Banana persons" were born in America and they live in America for a long time, so they think like Americans and do things like Americans. However, these people still have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents are from China. They all have black eyes and black hair, so they look like us, Chinese people.There are many famous "banana persons" in America. They do very well in America and they are really great in their own fields. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize forPhysics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.18. The people who are called ABC are ________.A. ChineseB. EnglishC. Japanese19. In which place may the Chinese people be called "Banana person"?A. In BeijingB. In LondonC. In New York.20. Why are these Chinese people called "Banana person"?A. Because their bodies are yellow both inside.B. Because they do things like American but look like Chinese.C. Because they were born in China and went to America many years ago.21. According to the passage, we know that ________.A. ABC persons and Banana people are the same one.B. ABC persons not only do things like Americans but also look like Americans.C. ABC persons don't have Chinese blood anymore.22. The best title(标题) for the passage is ________.A. What is a "Banana person"B. Great ABC PersonsC. Great "Banana person"6Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, passed away at the age of 87 on April 18, 2014.

As one of the most famous writers, he was widely regarded as “A giant of 20th- century literature”. Garcia Marquez wrote in a style called “magical realism(魔幻现实主义)”. In such works, people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.Garcia Marquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world-of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years.

These prizes are named after Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite (炸药) in the I9th century. During his life, Mr. Nobel made a lot of money from his invention. It was his idea to create the prizes. He put the money in a bank, and money made more money through interest from the bank.Mr. Nobel wanted to use his money to help scientists, artists and people helping others around the world. The prizes include physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace.These five Nobel Prizes were first given out in 1901. Later, Nobel Prize in Economic (经济) Sciences was set up to celebrate the 300th year business of the Central Bank of Sweden (瑞典) in 1968.Each winner is given a cash prize, a medal and a special paper which explains the prize the person won. Theamount of money each person gets is calculated (计算) from the interest made from all of Mr. Nobel's money still in the bank. This interest is divided equally between the five prize winners in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace. The Central Bank of Sweden then pays the same amount to the winner of the prize in economics.Affected by the COVID-19, this year's Nobel Prize Award Ceremony (仪式) will be held online instead of the traditional one.28.

Immanuel Nobel invented landmine and made a lot of money from the government during the Crimean War, but went bankrupt soon after. Then, the family returned to Sweden in 1859, where Alfred began his own study of explosives in his father’s lab.

He built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. He was always searching for a meaning to life.

You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book. It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you travel.41.

Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at e us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.36.

Some jokingly or seriously say that friends are made to be used. It makes me very sad.True friendship doesn’t mean that when you need your friend’s help,you will treat him to dinner,and when you have to protect yourself,you will put your friends in a difficult situation.In fact,true friendship is the communication and understanding of the hearts(心).True friendship is like water. Compared wish decent wine,water is tasteless,but is of great help when we are thirsty. True friends don’t need to be with each other every day,but are connected in heart every minute.True friendship is like medicine. Though it is bitter,it cures your illness. True friends give you some suggestions even if they know you would not take. They criticize you when others have a good word for you,not because of envy but worrying that you may lose your cool head.True friendship has nothing to do with fame,power or money. True friends would often watch you silently far away when you are influential,but come to you whenever you need their help. You’re not his stepping-stone to success,but are his crutch to live through difficulties.True friends make you complete. Many persons go along with you through your life ─your parents,your spouse,and your children,who take care of you and make your life happy. However,you still need someone who understands your thoughts and souls. Without them,you are likely to be unhealthy in spirit.True friends stay in your heart,rather than at your side;they know you more than yourself,and try to better you.Once you have found such a true friend,do treasure(珍惜)him.

In fact,everyone has the power to change their living habits to help reduce it. Many local governments call on their people to take action to make the air cleaner.Transport is one of the biggest contributors(促成物)to haze. When,where,how,why and what you drive all affect air quality. When one drives to work for one year,he uses as mush energy as a bus rider uses in 10 years. So walk or ride your bicycle to work or school whenever possible. If it is necessary,you can use public transport instead of your car. Each person using public transport for a year instead of a car can save nearly a tonne of pollutants,including CO2,from going into the atmosphere.Carpooling is another way to reduce carbon emissions(排放).Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. It immediately reduces your car’s emissions by half.What you do inside your living space can have a big effect on the air quality outside it. You can do a lot of things inside and around your home that will help you pollute less and save some money.A large amount of our energy supply comes from burning coal,another contributor to haze. By cutting down your electricity use,you are cutting down on haze. So you may try to reduce your use of electricity by turning off lights,using your air conditioner wisely during the summer months,or updating some of your electrical appliances to low-energy models. For example,you can use energy-saving lamps that require less energy and last 10 times longer than common bulbs.()38. Which does the writer think should play an important rode in reducing haze?A. City cleanersB. Haze producersC. Local governmentsD. Common people()39.We can infer(推断)from the passage that the writer thinks .A. cars can be used only when people have toB. cars should be given up as soon as possibleC. cars must be improved to reduce air pollutionD. cars may cause the most serious pollution of all()40. We should reduce the use of electricity mainly because .A. we can save a lot of money by using less energyB. coal is now becoming rarer and rarer on our planetC. harmful things come out while electricity is producedD. electrical appliances send out something harmful to our air()41. Which can be the best title for the passage?A.What are causing haze around usB.What you can do to reduce hazeC.How dangerous haze is to our lifeD.How important it is to reduce haze【2014南通】DFor 21 years,Georges Bwelle watched his ill father traveling to hospitals,which could not offer him all necessary help.Jamef Bwelle suffered only a broken arm at first,but it finally developed into a hematoma.

They know that their help can make a world of difference to those they help.For his devotion to his country and people,Georges Bwelle becomes one of the 2013 Heroes voted throughout the world.。
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。
