中考英语《阅读理解》复习专项练习题（含答案）As an old Chinese saying goes, food is No. 1 need. What do astronauts eat on the space station and where does their food come from?On October 16th, 2021, China launched a rocket and sent three taikonauts(Chinese astronauts)—two men and a woman—to China’s space station core module Tianhe. There are more than 120 kinds of food and drinks inside. They are rich in nutrition, taste good and are easy to keep for a long time. The taikonauts can also have a bite of their favorite specials.These years, some countries have even started to grow food in space. Back in 2016, taikonauts grew some plants in space, such as lettuce and rice. Now some astronauts are even growing chile peppers in space for the first time. Their seeds(种子) need a long time before they start to come up. Then it takes them a long time to grow. There’s one thing the astronauts will have to do in caring for the plants. They will have to transfer pollen(花粉) to the flowers. In this way, astronauts will get seeds that can grow new plants. It’s also how the peppers form. The seeds grow inside of the chile peppers.The environment on the space station is quite different from that on the earth. Astronauts don’t feel good and food also tastes different. So chile peppers help them to eat more. The peppers are red. That might help astronauts feel better.Space plants are also important for a trip to other planets like Mars. Astronauts would need food for staying there and for the long trip to Mars and back.1．The food and drinks for taikonauts in Tianhe ________.A．have much nutrition B．have a bad tasteC．are less than 120 kindsD．are hard to keep for long2．The underlined word “transfer” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A．cut B．feed C．move D．water3．The peppers make astronauts feel better because they ________.A．keep the astronauts busy with things to doB．make the astronauts think of their homesC．are the first vegetables growing in spaceD．are red and make the astronauts happier4．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Taikonauts grew food in space 4 years ago.B．The environment in space is bad for astronauts.C．Food tastes the same for astronauts anywhere.D．Plants can grow better on other planets.5．Which can be the best title for this passage?A．Food for Chinese Astronauts B．A Big Business in SpaceC．Traveling to the Space Station D．Growing Plants in Space15 years ago, Erin Merryn met a kitten who needed a home when she was a college student. He jumped into her arms and refused to let her go.“I was attracted immediately and decided that I would take a risk and try hiding a kitten in my college dorm where animals are obviously not allowed,” Erin recalled.A week later she was caught and given 48 hours to remove the cat. After several phone calls, Erin was able to find an old lady to take Bailey, the kitten. But Bailey did not get along with his new housemate. As soon as Erin learned that he would be sent away, she immediately offered to take him ba ck. “I plotted for a month to persuade my parents to let me keep him.” said Erin.Six years ago, Erin had Abby, her beautiful daughter. She didn’t know what Bailey would think about the new addition when she brought her home from the hospital.“But it was love at first sight.” Erin said. Bailey stayed by Abby’s side, guarding and showering her with love and purrs(咕噜咕噜叫). As Abby grew, he became her protective brother, watching over her every step of the way. Abby picked up a book one day and tried to read it with Bailey by her side. He became her perfect audience, and the sweet boy was completely attracted by Abby as she told him stories of wonder.A video showing Abby reading to Bailey went viral(走红) on the Internet in 2018. Numerous people followed Erin on social media platforms.Unfortunately, on December 8, 2018, just months after becoming famous, the 14-year-old catpassed away from kidney failure.A full month after Bailey’s passing, Erin still got cards and gifts from caring individuals.

But sometimes big goals can shoot you in the foot. So, is it good to set high expectations?Having high expectations could be beneficial. It can motivate (激励) you and increase your productivity. When you h ave high expectations for something, you’ll probably behave in ways which can help make your expectations come true. For example, if you believe that you’re able toscore an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. And when you have to complete a written task before the deadline, having expectations on yourself can motivate you to keep on going. Another benefit of setting high expectations is that as you start meeting your expectations, you’ll be even more motivated to set higher go als for yourself. In addition, having high expectations on yourself doesn’t only benefit you. You’re likely to encourage others to be more productive! While there’s plenty of good that comes from setting high expectations, going overboard and being unrealistic in expectations can be detrimental.Having high expectations sometimes can cause psychological (心理的) problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that a group of students who were expected to do perfectly by their parents experienced serious stress and anxiety (焦虑). Great expectations can also lead to great disappointment. This is especially true when you set expectations on other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel disappointed and displeased with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should accept your friends for who they are and set your expectations around reality.It is hard to manage expectations, but the main goal is to find the perfect balance in setting a more realistic and achievable expectation. Learn to let go of things, especially when they don’t turn out the way you hoped. Most importantly, don’t b e afraid to celebrate your victories no matter how small they are.16．If you have a high expectation on yourself, you will probably _________.A．discourage others B．work hard to realize itC．be more confident than before D．have high expectations on others17．The word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________ ”.A．harmful B．unusual C．disappointing D．impossible 18．The writer probably agrees that _________.A．it’s wise to ask your friends to help you set expectationsB．stress is very likely to help you achieve your expectationsC．parents should avoid setting expectations on their childrenD．we should set expectations on others according to the reality19．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To offer advice on how to realize expectations.B．To explain why people like to set high expectations.C．To lead people to take a right attitude towards expectations.D．To encourage people to set high expectations for themselves.Sports play an important role in teenagers’ lives.

To write the number sixty-three people wrote 63. To write six hundred and three, people wrote 63. The space between six and three was there to mean “not any” tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It wa s hard to see and read. Later people used a dot to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6.3. But the dot (点) was hard to see. So people put a circle around it like this 6⊙3.Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space. At last, only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a zero.

Yet every day we make more and more rubbish. What can we do? We can recycle some of our rubbish. Recycling means that the rubbish will be made into something that can be used again.Recycling helps Earth. And it saves space in rubbish dumps. Half of everything that we put into landfills could be recycled instead. In fact, most things made of paper, metal, glass and plastic can be recycled.Paper can be broken into small pieces and made into new paper. Steel and aluminum cans(金属罐)can be melted down(熔化)and made into new cans. The same is true of glass bottles. This can be done over and over again. Recycling doesn’t take as much energy as making these things the first time. So we can use less of Earth’s fuel resources.Plastic can be melted down, too. Then it can be formed into park benches, playgrounds and so on. Some people call plastic the “wood” of the future. Things made of plastic will last about 400 years—even if they stay outside in the weather. No wood can do that!37．The underlined word “landfills” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．green mountains B．recycling centersC．places for rubbish D．bench factories38．According to the passage, what happens at last to the cans?A．The can is put into a recycling bin.

Some say you can never go wrong with fresh fruit and vegetables; others say meat and seafood are also good for us. Scientists(科学家) learn a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are some kinds of food people should eat every day.● Green and yellow vegetables of all kinds;● Citrus (柑橘类) fruits and tomatoes;● Potatoes and other fruits and vegetables;● Bread or cereal(谷类食物) and rice is also of this kind;●Beef or something like beef.People in different countries and places of the world eat different kinds of food. And they eat in many kinds of ways. People also eat at different times of the day. Scientists say that the difference (不同之处) isn’t really important. It doesn’t matter if the food is raw(生的), cooked or frozen(冰冻的). It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at four o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven at night.40．According to scientists, which group of food do people need for each day?

The barcode (条形码) technology (科技) makes it faster and easier to buy things in stores. This year, the great invention is 50 years old!On a Sunday afternoon in 1971, an IBM engineer named George Laurer came up with a code (代码) that could be printed on food packages (包装). Based on this code, a complete code system came into being later. The system was used by many companies from 1973. Before this, shopkeepers had to write down prices by hand, which took much time and energy.Actually, a barcode is really a simple idea: show each product’s (产品的) information in different numbers (just like the ID card number for the product), then include these numbers into a code and print it for computers to read. It has turned out to be a really great invention.What information does a barcode carry? Where the product (产品) comes from, its price, production date… you name it. It can also help stores always know about their p roducts. For example, if there are 10 boxes of milk and a customer buys one, it will be recorded so that the store owner knows there are nine boxes left on the shelf. In the 1980s, libraries started using barcodes to follow their books in this way.Inspired (启发) by it, the more developed codes have been invented later, such as QR codes. QR codes can hold more information. They can tell customers what materials are used in a product or if the product is suitable for certain people. This keeps providing the customers with greater trust in the products they will buy.47．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A．The code system was made in the morning. B．Many companies began to use barcodes in 1971.C．The IBM engineer named George Laurer is 50 years old now. D．It was hard to record products’ prices before barcodes were invented.48．What information can we learn from a barcode?①the product’s production date②what materials are used in a product③where the product comes from④the product’s priceA．①③④B．②③④C．①②④D．①②⑧49．What can we learn from the passage?A．Libraries use QR codes to follow their books.B．QR codes have a history of more than 50 years.C．People use QR codes more often than barcodes now.D．The barcode can be used to record the number of products.50．W hat does the underlined word “customer” mean?A．someone who sells things B．someone who pays money for things C．someone who makes products D．someone who builds the shops51．Why does the writer write the passage?A．To show some changes of stores.B．To call on people to use barcodes.C．To introduce a great invention to people.D．To introduce a great engineer to people.Hello, boys and girls!

2019-2020学年第一学期九年级英语期中复习专题《阅读理解》(一)A young girl named Malala, born in 1997 in the northwest of Pakistan, is famous for supporting children and women to get education.In 2012, she was shot and seriously injured when she returned home on the school bus. Luckily, she was sent to the hospital in time and saved. After that, she went back to school and began to strive(奋斗)for children and women to receive education.On October 10, 2014, the Nobel Prize for Peace was awarded(授予)to Malala. She became the youngest winner in the history of Nobel Prize. However, Malala missed the most important event of being announced to be the winner of the prize. At the very moment, she was taking chemistry lessons in the classroom! After hearing the news, Malala chose to take her history and physics lessons as usual. She said calmly to the reporter, "I'm proud of getting this prize. Although the unforgettable date itself means something to me, it's more important to finish the rest of the lessons today. After all, it's a normal school day."One year later, Amy Mainzer, an astronomical scientist of NASA, found a new planet. She named it "Malala". When Amy Mainzer was interviewed by Times, she explained, "I think Malala has set an example for us. She is fearless and sticks to helping children and women get the right of being educated. Nothing can stop her."Last year, Malala passed the entrance examination of Oxford University through her hard workBefore she finished her high school, she had written a book called I am Malala.She said, "I hope the readers around the world have chances to read my book. My dream is that more and more people will realize it is extremely difficult for children and women in some areas to get education. Actually, my story is also the story of 61 million children. Every boy and every girl should have the right to go to school."( )1.How old was Malala when she won the Nobel Prize for Peace?A. 17.B. 16.C. 15.D. 14.( )2. What's the meaning of the underlined word "astronomical" in Chinese?A.航天的B.天文的C.地理的D.生物的( )3. What's the name of the new planet?A. Amy Mainzer.B. NASA.C. Oxford.D. Malala.( )4. Which of the following about Malala is NOTtrue according to the passage?A. She strives for helping children and women to go to school.B. She is the youngest winner in the history of Nobel Prize.C. She was taking chemistry lessons when she was awarded.D. She wrote a book about herself and 61 million children.1-4 ABDD（二）I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to control myself.Oh no, not this now, I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain, I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. Maybe I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice, "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book!" But I didn't say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was okay if he thought I was crazy. I'd rather be crazy than be the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let herself feel anything at all.I've been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn't think I was crazy. But now I don't want to be that girl any more—that bored and sad girl. I'd rather be this girl who is able to forgive(原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.( )1.

"With a smile on his face，Mr Scott left at once．He enjoyed trips to the supermarket because of all the colourful cans and boxes in it．Fruit and vegetables，too，shone in their bright skins．There was never just one colour：carrots were orange，but also had bits of yellow and brown in them．Bananas were yellow and black；apples hid oranges and purples inside their reds．Mr Scott would walk through the supermarket and enjoy all the colours around him．"I wish there was a store full of colours that I could spend all my time in，" he sighed．He bought everything on his wife's list and came home．When he walked into the house，Mrs Scott noticed the sad look on his face．"What's wrong？" she asked him．"It looks life you had fun at the store．I can see that you picked out the best things．""I did have fun in the store．So much that I wish I could have spent more time there．It's so full of colours! " Mr Scott said．"I see，" Mrs Scott said．"Well，cheer up，because I'm going to cook a nice lunch for us!"The next day Mr Scott was on his usual morning walk through the neighbourhood，saying hello to everyone，enjoying the colours of the trees and flowers．It was another day of colours!"Good morning，Mr Brown，" he called out to one of his neighbours．He liked Mr Brown very much，because，well，you guessed it：his name was a colour!"Mr Scott! Just the person I wanted to see!" Mr Brown replied．"My wife and I are moving out of this town，and I need someone to take over my shop．You are the perfect person for the job because it's a paint shop! I need someone who knows its colours．Would you be interested？"Mr Scott was mad with excitement．"I will take it over right away!"Mr Brown was relieved when he left town，because he knew his paint shop was in good hands．Sure enough，Mr Scott kept the paint shop open for twenty more years and got to talk about colours all day，every day．( )5.

He is now studying in Zhuanshanbao Primary School in Zhaotong, Yunnan Province. On Monday morning(January 8，2018)，he braved一9℃weather to travel over an hour to reach his school.When he arrived，his hair and eyebrows had been completely frozen with snowflakes(雪花).This made his 16 classmates laugh a lot. Fu Heng，Wang's teacher，sew this and took a picture. He uploaded(上传)Wang's picture. The picture soon had got much attention to children from poor family in the countryside. Wang，who had been nicknamed "Snowflake Boy" by netizens，became famous online overnight. By Wednesday morning，his picture had been "liked" more than 260，000 times on Sina Weibo and shard more than 40，000 times.After hearing Wang's story, the Yunnan China Youth Development Foundation held a public donation(捐赠)activity for the children from poor families. The Foundation had promised to give each poor child 500 yuan($75) to help them stay warm in winter.By 1 p. m. on Wednesday，the Foundation had collected about 300，000 yuan in public donations，according to their website. Wang's village now has electricity and tap water."…and my family is getting help to build a new house close to the school." Wang said，"I think our life will get better."( )1.What was the weather like on Monday morning?A. Snowy and cold.B. Rainy and cold.C. Snowy but warm.D. Rainy but warm.( )2.

The Foundation held a public donation to help the poor children .A. stay happyB. stay educatedC. keep healthyD. keep warm in winter1-3 ACD(五)To stop more teenagers from becoming addicted(沉迷)to the Internet，the Ministry of Education (MOE，教育部)sent a letter on April 20, 2018 to all parents in China. It called on them to pay more attention to their children's online activities. Nowadays more and more teenagers become addicted to the Internet. A 17-year-old boy from Guangdong Province nearly died after playing online games for 40 hours. It shows how bad things can get when one becomes addicted to the Internet.The MOE also sent a notice to primary and middle schools，asking them to manage students' Internet use. From now on, schools will pay more attention to their students' Internet use, as well as their use of mobile phones. Schools have been told to teach students how to avoid violent (暴力的)online content(内容).As long as students show signs of being addicted to the Internet，they can get help from their teachers to dive up their addiction.To make better use of the Internet, experts suggest that students should limit(限制)their screen time to less than 1.5 hours a day. They can develop healthy hobbies，like reading or playing sports in their free time.Many other countries are also taking action. The Australian government has called for schools to confiscate(没收)mobile phones during school hours. And in South Korea, there is a lawthat children under the age of 16 are not allowed to play online between midnight and 6 am. ( )1 .How long should a teenager use the Internet a day according to the experts?A. About three hours.B. Less than two hours.-C. Less than one and a half hours.D. More than 1.5 hours.( )2. What suggestion did the experts give to the students?A. To leave mobile phones home before students go to school.B. To hand in mobile phones when students are at school.C. To ask for help from their teachers when students find it hard to leave online games.D. To develop healthy hobbies，such as doing sports or reading.( )3. Which action is South Korea taking against teenagers' Internet addiction?A. Confiscating students' smart phones.B. Not allowing teenagers to play online.C. Making a law to prevent children under 16 from playing online games duringcertain time.D. Calling on parents to manage their children's online activities.( )4.You can read this article in .A. a novelB. a newspaperC. a fashion magazineD. a storybook1-4 CDCB(六)One day, I took an underground to work. I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube(underground in London)，a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game, with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl，about 5 years old，was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop's name cheerfully, praising her mother's long nails-trying to draw her mother's attention. Her mother just nodded and mumbled "Mm，hm" with her eyes glued to the screen，busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.It broke my heart and got me wondering-what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world，the human she created，the person she loves with all her hearty What did it mean when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?Some parents are almost like the teenagers，always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with，but sometimes they are everything to their kids.This is not an isolated example. I've seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself，and probably still have a long way before becoming one，but I know what I saw isn't right.The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become "technology slaves"，that is to say, they can't control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones，which areprobably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm can pass. ( )1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The girl failed to attract her mother's attention.B. The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent.C. The writer has much experience about being a parent.D. All middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones.( )2. The underlined word "isolated" in Paragraph 4 means " ".A. spreading fastB. happening onceC. increasing quicklyD. appearing suddenly( )3 .In the passage，the writer mainly wants to express .A. the worries that children are crazy about mobile phonesB. the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technologyC. the sadness that the best smart phones cost parents too much moneyD. the hope that parents can use new technology like smart phones properly( )4 .What's the best title of the passage?A. Middle-aged ParentsB. A Scene on the TubeC. Technology SlavesD. Mindless Phone Games1-4 ABDC(七)What is one think that would help parents understand their kids better? More than 8，000 US kids answered this question in an online poll(投票)by Kids Health. org.Many US kids-two out of three-said they get along with their parents. But that doesn't mean they never disagree. In fact，most kids reported arguing with their parents，at least sometimes. And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other."It's certainly normal to disagree and argue，" says Darcy Lyness，an American expert, "But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully(尊重地). Be patient. Don't use a raised, angry voice."And not surprisingly，three out of four kids said they have lied to their parents sometimes. Many said they lied so they would not get into trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness，lying isn't just wrong. It can actually have bad results. Telling the truth builds trust.Telling the truth，says Lyness，shows maturity(成熟).But older kids actually lie more often than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lied more，but they also reported having less fun，feeling less close and not getting along well with their parents.According to Lyness，those feelings are common. As kids become more independent(独立的)，they have more areas of disagreement with their parents. But it doesn't have to be that way."Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey," she says."As kids grow and change，it is important for everybody to change."( )1. Why do some kids lie to their parents?A. They don't trust their parents.B. They don't want to get into trouble.C. They don't think lying is wrong.D. They are disappointed with their parents.( )2. About out of the 8，000 students in the poll said that they have lied to their parents.A. 3，000B. 4，500C. 6,000D. 7，500 ( )3. According to Paragraph 5，older kids .A. have more fun in lifeB. seldom lie to their parentsC. feel less close to their parentsD. get along better with their parents1-3 BCC（八）One day, whip W vas waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old，running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱). The boy would then fall to the grass, get up，without looking back at his mother，run as fast as he could，again，still with a smile on his face，as if nothing had happened.At that moment，I thought to myself, "why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults，when they fall down，make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or，because they fall，they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure(失败).However，with kids，when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure. Instead，they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". What's more，they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words，they allow themselves to make mistakes，so they remain energetic.I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence(坚持不懈)and the manner in which he did things.( )1 .In the writer's opinion，what might the little boy regard his falling down as?A. A failure.B. A joke.C. An interesting game.D. A learning experience.( )2. In the writer's opinion, why can't many adults succeed?A. Because they are afraid of embarrassment.B. Because they can't find a good excuse.C. Because once they fail, they won't attempt again.D. Because they don't allow themselves to make mistakes.( )3. The underlined word "attempt" in Paragraph 2 means .A.尝试B.放弃C.面对D.怀疑( )4. What does the writer want to tell us?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Failure is the mother of success.C. All roads lead to Rome.D. Each coin has two sides.1-4 DCAB(九)Imagine having a ear made out of an apple. It seems like a crazy idea from a horror movie. But it could happen in the near future.Canadian biophysicist Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He think fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.Scientists have been trying to grow organs (器官) in labs to replace our old ones. But it is a hard job. For example, liver cells (肝细胞) can grow in a lab, but he cells still need things like blood vessels (血管) to actually work.These things have to grow inside a scaffold(支架).In the past, scientists have used man-made materials, animals parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.Pelling and his team, however, f ound the apple to be a cheap and easy-to-use scaffold.They first cut an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apple’s cell and make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple, and watched it grow.“You can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive,” Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech.The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse’s cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use.He says that the shape of flower petals could be perfect for repairing skin. And asparagus(芦笋) could fix a broken spine(脊柱).Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality.1. Pelling’s idea of man-made ear seems crazy because he use _____as scaffolds.A. animal partsB.dead peopleC.man-made materialsD.ordinary apples2. The underlined word “implant” in Paragraph 7 probably means ______.A. pickB. putC. produceD. protect3. Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passage?a. put the apple scaffold inside a mouseb. add human cells to the apple scaffoldc. cut an apple into the shape of an eard. make the apple ear a scaffolde. take out the apple’s cells in a special wayA. a-b-c-d-eB.b-c-d-a-eC.c-e-d-b-aD.c-d-a-e-b4. From the last three paragraphs, we can infer that Pelling will experiment with other fruit, plants or vegetbales _______.A. to make human earsB. to repair burnt skinC. to fix a broken spineD. to make human body parts1-4 DBCD（十）Let’s try doing the following experiment．What to Do：Use string to hang a paper clip or other small object at about chest（胸部）level．Pick up a stick，such as a broom handle．Take three or four steps away from thepaper clip．Now close one eye and walk toward the paper clip．Try to touch it with the tipof the stick．If you miss，try again，still keeping one eye closed．Now try it with botheyes open and see if it’s easier to do．How it works：In the experiment，you have to judge how far away the paper clip is．Your brain has several ways of doing this．One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus（聚焦）itself．Using only one eye，most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try，but the brain still gets some information about distance—though not much．Your brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes．In fact，your brain has more than one way to use both eyes in judging distance．For example，to see anything clearly，you have to make both of your eyes point at the object．When you look at a nearby object，your eyes turn inward．You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose．Your brain gets information from the eyes about how much they are pointing toward each other．Using that information，the brain can tell how far away any object is，whether it is a basketball or a paper clip．1．How many materials do we need at least to do the experiment？A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five2．The passage is mainly about that with eyes our brain can judge ．A．how big an object is B．how high an object isC．how far away an object is D．how much information an object is 3．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A．Our brain judges distance in one way when we use both eyes．B．Our brain cannot judge the distance of a small object but a big one．C．How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the size of an object．D．How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the distance of an object．4．From the experiment we can infer（推断）．A．with one eye we can see an object as clearly as we use two eyesB．our eyes turn towards the inside when we look at an object very nearC．within 3 or 4 steps，the nearer an object is，the more clearly we can see itD．our brain can hardly get any information about distance when we use one eye1-4 BCDB。

2019中考英语阅读理解选习题（5）及答案Passage A（2019中考保健与健康类选练）Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health”means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.(1) Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit andvegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition(营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, espe cially fruit and vegetables.(2) Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kidsneed plenty of calcium(钙) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories(热量), not important nutrition.(3) Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomachfeels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make unhealthy and fat.(4) Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV,movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.1. The underlined phrase “a variety of” means ___________.A. plenty ofB. all kinds ofC. the rest ofD. a lotof2.

How to eat healthy food.B. Eating and playing are both important.C. Suggestions for staying healthy.D. Health is very important.参考答案1B 2D 3D 4CPassage B中考英语阅读理解分类练习：健康保健类You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong has discovered another saying: An apple a day keeps old age away.The study involved fruit flies(g果蝇), as they share many genes(基因) with humans. Researchers gave one group of fruit flies normal food, and another group of fruit flies got the same food including apple.The results showed that flies that ate apple lived an average of 55 days longer than the flies that didn’t eat apple. The study also found that apple-eating flies were more able to walk, climb and move about as they became old, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports.The researchers believe that the antioxidants (抗氧化剂）found in apples are good for health.In another experiment, researchers studied the diets of thousands of women. They found that those women who often ate apples were 20 percent less likely to have heart disease.Sc ientists have recently discovered the apple’s genetic code(基因代码). This allows scientists to make new kinds of fruit that are healthier. Researchers are already using this information to grow apples with added antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep eyes and joints (关节)healthy and protect against heart attacks and cancer.Apples that help people lose weight may be in supermarkets in just four or five years. They are said to be “extra healthy” apples that can stop people from overeating.【小题1】Fruit flies were used in the research because_______________ .A．they love to eat applesB．they share similar genes with humansC．they are easy to catchD．they can live longer【小题2】By studying the diets of many women, researchers ___________ .A．proved apples were good for people’s health.B．found they are healthier than menC．helped them to lose weight successfullyD．discovered the genetic code of the apple【小题3】From the story, we can infer(推测) that _________________.A．women like to eat apples more often than menB．people who eat apples are easier to have heart diseaseC．scientists are studying a new type of applesD．apples’ genetic code is similar to other fruits【小题4】 You may find the passage in ____________ .A．a science magazine B．a guidebookC． a picture show D．a storybookPassage CNow satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented,the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.1. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather3. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures4. Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather f or ________.A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer5. The main（主要的）idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.A. taking pictures of the atmosphereB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. doing other work in many waysD. weather forecasting参考答案Keys: 1-5 ACBDDPassage D（2019中考保健与健康类选练）Running is becoming popular these days. Many of us run for our health. Doctors say many of thehealth problems come from these bad habits: eating too much, drinking too much, smoking, and not taking enough exercise. Doctors tell us, "Eat and drink less, don't smoke, and exercise more."Running is a good form of exercise because it helps build a strong heart. It also helps most people lose weight. One 68-year-old woman runs thee times a week. She runs to lose weight. "I love to eat,"she says.Running is good for health in other ways, too. Many runners say running keeps colds and other small health problems away. "Running is my doctor," says one man. Running can also help people to relax.So today men and women of all ages enjoy running.( ) 1. Many people enjoy running because they want to ______.A. eat muchB. keep healthyC. run fastD. waste time( ) 2. Doctors tell us _____.A. not to smokeB. not to exerciseC. to drink muchD. to eat much( ) 3.

The writer mainly tells us _____.A. how to runB. how to lose weightC. running is a good way to keep healthyD. running is better than doctors参考答案1B 2A 3D 4CPassage E（2019中考科普环保类选练）Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time—is considered (考虑，认为) a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (努力) as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table. Multitasking also has an effect (影响) on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回应).

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. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive.So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.（1）What is the passage mainly about?A. Environmental protection.B. The world of tomorrow.C. Advantages of technology.（2）What do we learn from the passage?A. Some people think technology development may bring new problemsB. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap.C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.（3）What is the correct structure of the passage? （P1=Paragraph1）A. B. C.（4）What does the underlined word "they" refer to?A. Car companies.B. 3D print.C. Body parts.（5）We can infer that the writer ________ about the future life with technology.A. doesn't careB. feels hopefulC. feels disappointed2．阅读材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

( A )Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.( )1.

Look at yourself in the mirror every morning and say to yourself, “I’m a beautiful creation of God!”★Improve your appearance. Being shy can also be a result of not so being confident in front of people. Putting on clean and tidy clothes from top to bottom can help improve your confidence.★Ask for the help of a professional imageenhancer.

If so, you are not alone. We all have things we want to do or achieve. These are part of our “bucket lists”. A bucket is a list of things that someone wants to experience in his or her lifetimes. These things can be big or small. Have you ever thought about what is on your bucket list?Lindsay, 15, created her bucket list when she was 14. She has given her list serious thought. “I’ve always wanted to travel into space,” she says. “I don’t really want to be an astronaut. But I do want to go to space as a tourist. I want to see the Earth from above.” Other things on her list include being on TV, seeing her favorite band in concert, learning how to speak Portuguese, and living in a foreign country. “I’ve always wanted to live in Brazil. As part of my bucket list, I want to attend Carnival in the capital of Brazil,” she says.Jose, 16, recently created a list of things he wants to achieve. It changes sometimes he adds and takes away things because he wants to keep the number of the things at seven. One thing has stayed at number one, though: he wants to visit a movie set. He would like to see the Harry Potter of The Hobbit movie sets. Other things on the list include being on TV, meeting his favorite sports star, living in a foreign country, skateboarding down a mountain, attending the World Cup, and backpacking across Europe. He would like to spend two months visiting Eastern Europe with his best friend Adam. “Maybe after I graduate from college,” says Jose.Carrie, 14, also has a bucket list. She first created it when she was 12. She would like to livein a foreign country for at least two years. She also wants to learn as many foreign languages as possible. But the number one thing on her list is to see her favorite band in concert. She also wants to go on a trip and to visit a movie set. Her favorite movies are the Hunger Games and Star Wars. Carrie is confident she will do most or all of the things on her bucket list. “I’m only 14,” she says, “I have my whole life ahead of me!”8. What is No.1 at Lindsay’s bucket list?A.

Many sports players have them, too. In the US, tattoos are very popular. Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60 percent of customers in US tattoo parlors are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet. Tattoos were used for many different reasons. In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were “beautiful”. But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative and put on criminals and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious.In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. Often the tattoos were of animals or natural features like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a person’s history, their island or their job.So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos? And can you call tattoos a fashion? Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos becausethey are a connection to the traditional world. But tattoos aren’t a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can’t put them on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent and for life.12. When were tattoos brought to Europe?A. 5,000 years ago.B. 60 years ago.C. Until recently.D. In the 16th and 17th century.【答案】D13. What does the underlined word “parlors” mean?A. School.B. Stores.C. Hospitals.D. Theaters.【答案】B14. What’s the writer’s opinion about tattoos?A. Tattoos are religious in modern societies.B. Tattoos connect tradition with fashion.C. Tattoos are a fashion among famous people.D. Tattoos show information about a person’s hobby.【答案】B15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Tattoos' History.B. Tattoos in Polynesia.C. Tattoos on a Human in Ice.D. Tattoos in Fashion and for Life.【答案】D。

There was always noise in his house as his children played, laughed and sang. He could find no peace at all. The man couldn't stand living in this noisy house. So he decided to ask for advice from a wise old woman who lived down the road. He told her about his problem. The wise old woman quickly had an answer for him.

He carelessly hit an empty glass flask（烧瓶）, and it fell to the stone floor.Benedictus climbed down, expecting a mess, but he found a surprise. The glass hadn't broken into a million pieces! It had cracked（破裂）, but it had held together. Benedictus wondered why. His helper explained he had used the flask to hold liquid plastic（液态塑料）. Thenhe'd put the flask aside and forgotten to wash it. The liquid plastic dried, so the flask looked empty. Benedictus realized the dried plastic had kept the cracked glass from falling apart. The same week, Benedictus read a report about a car accident in the newspaper. The car was a new and exciting invention, and many people were driving fast on the roads. When accidents happened, people were often hurt by flying broken glass. Suddenly Benedictus thought of the broken flask. Could his accident be something useful?Benedictus spent a lot of time in the lab, trying to find out the best way to make safety glass for cars. Finally, Benedictus put some liquid plastic between two pieces of glass and pressed them together. When he hit it, the "glass-and-plastic sandwich" cracked, but it didn't break into small pieces.Benedictus succeeded. He wrote in his diary, "I produced my first piece of Triplex（the name for his invention）—full of promise（充满希望）for the future."Benedictus was right. His method of putting plastic between pieces of glass is still used today. And that's how a careless accident led to an invention that made us all safer!（1）How did Bencdictus feel when he saw the cracked glass flask?A Angry.B Sorry.C Excited.D Surprised.（2）The glass flask didn't fall apart because ________.A the floor was not so hardB the shelf was not so highC there was dried plastic init D Benedictus' helper caught it（3）When did Benedictus decide to work on his invention?A When he read a news report.B After his helper had a car accident.C When he saw the cracked glass flask.D After his helper gave him a suggestion.（4）What do we know about Triplex?A It was invented in 1900.B It had plastic on its surface.C It got popular as soon asit was invented. D It had an influence on today's safety glass.20.Are the Olympic Games outdated? That might seem like a strange question. But it's exactly what the International Olympic Committee（奥林匹克委员会）is considering. At the 2012 London Olympics, IOC President Thomas Bach noticed something. "You could see that the younger people did not have interest in watching the Games any more. They were not there." To change this, the IOC wants to make the Summer Olympics younger. But that isn't as simple as just adding more sports. It's impossible to always add new sports to the Olympics. It would become too much for host cities to deal with. The IOC asks host cities to choose the new sports and then the committee decides which ones can finally be added to that year's games. The new sports would be included in that year's Olympics only. The IOC has agreed to add baseball/softball, karate, skateboarding, sports climbing and surfing to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.People are wondering what makes up an Olympic sport. Some people would like to see e-sports at the Olympics, because they are really popular. President Bach thinks video games with killing are not acceptable. One of the main principles（原则）of the Olympics is to encourage world peace. At the moment, the future of e-sports is still unclear.What about the Winter Olympics? Not to worry. The IOC has already added seven new sports for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Winter Olympics' situation is a little different. The Winter Olympics have less than half the sports of the Summer Olympics, so they have room to grow.（1）What did Thomas Bach notice after the 2012 London Olympics?A Some sports were less popular.B Some sports seemed too dangerous.C There were fewer young players at the Olympics.D Young people were not interested in the Olympics.（2）How many new sports will there be at the 2020 Olympics?A Four.B Five.C Six.D Seven.（3）In Thomas Bach's opinion, video games with killing ________.A have an unclear futureB are becoming more popularC are for young peopleonly D fail to encourage world peace（4）Compared with the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics ________.A have a longer historyB are more valued by the IOC C have more room for new sportsD show more interest in e-sports21.Your house may have an effect on the shape of your body. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you put on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of a diet plan.Open the curtains（窗帘）and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious（难为情的）when they're inpoorly lit places — and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and fill the place with brightness.Mind the colours. Research suggests warm colours make us eat more. In one study, people who had meals in a blue room ate 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colours like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colours make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly consume about 70 fewer calories （卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin paying attention to the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon instead of a smaller one, total intake（摄取量）jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid（液体）into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.（1）The passage is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A healthy eatingB house buyingC body shapeD home design（2）The underlined word "appetizing" in Paragraph 3 means "________" in Chinese.A 恶心的B 油腻的C 饱腹的D 开胃的（3）What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A Use smaller spoons.B Turn down the lights.C Eat quickly.D Play fast music.（4）What's the best title for the passage?A Is Your Home Environment RelaxingB Is Your House Making You FatC Ways of Serving DinnerD Effects of Self-Consciousness22. 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。
