2018中考英语阅读理解专项训练及参考答案2018中考英语阅读理解专项训练及参考答案(名师出题考前专项训练+答案解析，建议考⽣下载练习)1Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈⽋) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it’s be cause we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (⾏使职责). However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of relativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well, perh aps you’ll understand why.48. Mirror neurons can explain ______.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we catch a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49. The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A. set offB. cut offC. broken outD. found out50. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.A. relate to human behavior and communicationB. decide our knowledge and language abilitiesC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. control human actions and appearances51.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail(细节) of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been indentified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM，超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old，”she said. “That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re­experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory willbe so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too，” Rebecca said.“For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，”she added. “If it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”( )1.

HSAM can greatly improve her living conditionsPassage 5(2018江西)Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer.

Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an old­fashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading andthinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow­up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.( )1. What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A. Twain's talent for self­teaching.B. Twain's “local colour” writing style.C. Twain's good sense of humour.D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.( )2. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A. The deep social meaning.B. The exciting life experiences.C. The special way that Huck talks.D. The nice view of the Mississippi.( )3. Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”？A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.( )4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7(2018南京)Rachel Carson(1907­1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a giftedwriter. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.( )1. What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A.

Allow me to share some with you.I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley.I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events. Life in Berkexample, in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease(租约)agreement for a flat. What's more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday, which is very practical for me.Thestudents respect the teacher's lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class.The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active. However, I am not totally used to their habits yet. Indeed, I was used to shaking my friends' hands every day in France. During my second day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met！”Another funny story happened during the first party I attended: A girl that I met before came to hug me, I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello.

Groups of about a dozen students each, led by an experienced guide, will go on ten­day camping trips to the mountains to study the plants and animals that grow and live there.Students carry their own things, which include sleeping bags, warm clothing, food and water, and other useful tools. And what do the students do all day? Well, ide the trail. The climb is usually over by early afternoon, At the end of the course, the students write reports using the information they have collected.

Lai Shixiong,a respected English master from Taiwan, has a story to share.Like many non­native speakers, Lai failed when he first started learning English. When he was in high school, he once got an unbelievably low mark of 7out of 100 on an English test. He almost gave up on English, but then he entered a military school (军校), where he met a classmate who was good at English.Amazed by his classmate's American accent, Lai decided to start learning English from the beginning. As he put it, “I saw myself as a baby who hadjust started to learn a language.” To correct his pronunciation, Lai practiced phonetic symbols(音标) hundreds of times every day using records.When he was able to pronounce words, Lai said he began to practice dialogues. Not being able to find someone to practice with, Lai created a learning atmosphere(氛围) on his own.“I just talked to myself as if I were ina dialogue，” he said.Lai also thought of ways to improve his skills. He used English to describe everything he saw. He even translated speeches when he went to class meetingsat the military school. He also read and listened to English news to learn new expressions.“There is no shortcut to mastering a language. You have to practice，”Lai said. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day.( )1.

Helpful and successful.C. Kind­hearted and honest.D. Patient and hard­working.Passage 6(2018陕西)Reading makes one wise, but many adults seldom read. They say they are too busy to have time to read. Sure. They have work to do. They have families to support. But these are only excuses. The fact is that they haven't got a reading habit. A reading habit isn't something natural. It needs to be trained. And it's never too late to develop a reading habit.Scientists believe proper books are very important for children to develop a good reading habit. A book in rich colours and with simple patterns(图案) such as lines and circles is a good choice for babies of three months old. When they reach six months, colours.When children get old enough to read by themselves, it's necessary to buy books that are both interesting and right for them to understand. Books which are either too easy or too difficult are not good for kids to keep their reading habits.Only buying books for children isn't enough. For kids, parents are their first teachers. So parents should read books to set an example. Children will follow them. Scientists say imitating the adults is a born skill. And it is the most valuable way for children to learn. This will certainly help them develop a reading habit in the end.()1. According to the writer, many adults seldom read because they ________．A. don't have enough timeB. have to work all the timeC. haven't got a reading habitD. have to support the family( )2. The underlined word “imitating” here probably means ________．A. copyingB. readingC. testingD. missing( )3. We can learn from the passage that ________．A. story books are better than books in coloursC. a three­month­old kid likes simple storiesD. too easy books help keep a reading habitPassage 7(2018山西)Let children learn to judge(判断) their own work. A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time. If he is corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's.In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught— he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, If it is a matter in math or science, give him the answer book. Let himcorrect his own papers. Why_should_we_teachers_waste_time_on_such_daily_work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure(估量) their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this job in their ways. School teachers can offer help if they ask for it. Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world. Don't worry! If it is important, they will go out into the world and learn it.()1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by ________．A. being always correctedB. following adults' adviceC. doing as other people do( )2. The writer thinks teachers in school should ________．A. encourage students to learn from each otherB. teach students how to get the answers directlyC. tell students what is wrong as often as possible( )3. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means ________．A. teachers can't correct students' papersB. teachers needn't waste time teaching students in classC. teachers should help students improve their learning ability( )4. We can infer(推断) that ________ from the passage.A. students can face any challenge easilyB. students can learn a lot in the real lifeC. students can grow up without others' help( )5. The best title of the passage may be ________．A. Let Us Teachers Stop WorkingB. Let Children Learn by ThemselvesC. Let Parents Understand Their Kids专项训练六语言学习Passage 1 【主旨大意】本文是一篇应用文。

And now, there’s even a law to protect it.Last September, the government passed the National Anthem Law, which became effective(生效)from Oct.1, 2017. It states how we should sing or play the song, requiring all of us to behave towards it politely. Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the song’s spirit and history. Moreover, the law requires us to be serious when we are singing the song. We can’t joke about it or change the song’s words or music. If someone breaks the law, he or she can be detained for up to 15 days, or face further punishment in more serious situations. The national anthem is different from other songs – it is the symbol of our country.Many foreign countries also have laws for their national anthems. For example, American school children should put their right hand over their heart while singing their country’s anthem at school.

Have you ever thought about these questions: Why are they there? What information do they give? Do they help with our reading and understanding? Graphics are things like pictures, maps, charts and tables. They give information to readers. Very often, we can see different kinds of graphics in books, magazines and newspapers. Writers use graphics to get the readers'attention and give them some particular(特别的)information. Graphics help to understand the given information in a text. And graphics put the information in a particular order so that it's easy to understand when we take a quick look.It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But many things are easier to show than to tell and they may also be easier to understand. Graphics are just the right things that give a great deal of information but it doesn’t take much time to read and understand.The right way to read and understand a graphic is to look at the picture and the words together. In a graphic, only a few words are used to explain what the picture shows you. Sometimes, numbers and percentages(百分比) are also given to go with the words to explain things.Now look at the graphic on the right. It is how a researcher used a graphic to show the number of hours spent sleeping by British teenagers each day. Can you understand it?19. Which of the following is mentioned as a graphic?A. A letter.B. A poem.C. A map.D. A name card.20.

When we read a graphic, we should ______.A. find out if there are any tables in itB. put the information in the right orderC. count how many words there are in itD. look at the picture and the words together22.

But the good news is, you're not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you're around other people or in a new situation.___ Scientists say such things as genetics（遗传基因），life experiences，and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.What happens if you are shy? Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy.How do people overcome (克服)shyness? This is what Gilbert tells us. "When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it worked for me. “But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness take time and needs practice.Here are some tips given by scientists.Think of what to talk about before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.Let people know you're shy. If you're shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.Make things easy for the other person. Remember, you’re not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good-for example, say hello or smile.Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.23.

It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise, For example, a 30-minute logging burns around 288 calories（卡路里），compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some litter along the way? Your body and the environment will thank you.【答案】56. plogging/doing clean exercise57. a rubbish bag58. deal with59. the environment60. greener/more beautiful【解析】文章介绍了一种新型的健身跑步方式。
