（英语）中考英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)一、阅读理解1．阅读理解Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!（1）According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages（2）How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.（3）The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达（4）If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about（5）The best title for the passage is ___________.A. How to bridge the generation gapB. How to deal with family problemsC. How to be good parentsD. How to be a good child【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）D（5）A【解析】【分析】文章大意：短文讲了家长和孩子之间有代沟，主要原因就是缺少沟通，当我们彼此了解了对方的观点和想法以后，就能很容易的理解对方，从而消除代沟。

What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality.Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic.They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people.

中考英语英语阅读理解试题（含答案）一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1.阅读理解Saying no starts small"All right then — just one more piece..." Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say "no" to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow （圆形软糖）now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology（心理学）professor （教授） told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）.Even a little practice can strengthen （加强）our overall self-control if we do it regularly.You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles, willpower can "get tired". Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge（恢复）your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.（1）The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used toA.prove that girls have weak willpowerB.introduce the topic of willpower to the readersC.show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsD.show the connection between willpower and success（2）What can we infer from the experiment?A.The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.B.It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.C.The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.D.The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.(3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?A.You should have a goal every day.B. Good rest and proper diet can help.C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.D. Keep willpower from being used too much. (4) What is the article mainly about?A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.B.How willpower affects people's lives and how it is similar to muscles.C.How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.D.How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other【答案】(1) B(2) C(3)A(4)C【解析】【分析】主要讲了毅力的重要性和怎样让毅力变得更强。

Are you afraid of going to the dentist （牙医）? If so, you're not alone.These fears could just be in our heads, however. According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle, a professor at Manchester University in the UK, the pain isn't felt most of the time in dental surgeries （牙科手术）. In fact. among the 451 interviewed patients, 75％ reported no pain at all during their visits, including situations when they had their teeth pulled out.Could it be the sound of the drill （钻头）then?"I found that the sound of drilling can evoke deep worry in dental patients. Actually they don't have any pain." Hiroyuki Karibe, a scientist at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo, told the Guardian.To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart, Karibe divided the volunteers into low-fear and high-fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist. Volunteers were played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine.What Karibe found in the low-fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brain relative to auditory processing （听觉处理）, which means, for these people, the sound of dental drills is no different from other soundsIn the high-fear group, however, the brain area that was activated （激活） was different. It was the area that carries out a number of duties, including learning, feelings and, most importantly, memory. This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound, but they remembered it-they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past, causing their worry to return.Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists ' drills could help scientists find ways to make patients more relaxed, according to Karibe, because patients who worry about going to the dentist might keep putting off their visits. But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy.（1）How does the writer explain that the pain isn't felt most of the time in dental surgeries?A. By showing facts with numbers.B. By asking questions one by one.C. By giving examples group by group.D. By comparing results of patients.（2）According to the fourth paragraph, what does the word "evoke" mean in Chinese?A. 减轻B. 引起C. 显示D. 阻止（3）How did the sound of drilling produce different results to the volunteers in the study?A. It produced some worry in the volunteers in the low-fear groupB. For the low-fear group, it activated the brain area dealing with learning, feelings and memoryC. For the high-fear group, it caused more activities in the brain area relative to auditory processing.D. It made people in the high-fear group remember their past uncomfortable memories（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. How the study might be useful.B. Some new ways to treat teethC. The proper way to treat dental patients.D. The importance of keeping our teeth healthy.（5）What's the purpose of the passage?A. To show us different areas of fear in brains.B. To introduce us a recent survey by a scientist.C. To help us have less fear of a trip to the dentist.D. To make it clear that the sound of drilling is not terrible.2．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
