鄂尔多斯语文中考1、阅读下面的文字，请你根据拼音在方格内写出相应的词语演奏快乐，就是品味快乐。

不论是wēi é xióng zhuàng的高山，guăng mào wÚ yín的大海，云彩飘飘的蓝天，还是qìn rén xīn pí的气味，xuàn lìbān lán 的色彩，găn rén fèi fu的话语。

这些如宝石一般jīng yíng cuĭ càn的快乐，总是在我们身边盘旋。

懂得品味这些快乐的人，自然会得到快乐的青睐。

万世沧桑，悲欢岁月，痛苦难免，可是，懂得寻找快乐的人，快乐的旋律总会在他的心头回响。

要相信，仰起头，就有蓝天！阅读阅读下面说明文，完成2——7题生命与气候①你能想到吗？千百万年以来，地球气候是由地球的两大生命王国——动物界与植物界的斗争所决定的。

动物吸进氧气而呼出二氧化碳，植物主要吸进二氧化碳而放出氧气。

二氧化碳为温室气体，因此可以立即得出结论：动物能使地球升温，而植物则使地球降温。

如果哪一方占上风，那么地球就会面临温室效应或又一次严寒期。

②5亿多年前的“寒武纪大爆炸”时期，到处都是将二氧化碳释放到空气中的节肢动物，它们使空气中的二氧化碳含量高达今天的20倍，所以当时的气候极其温暖。

③但是，植物进行了反击。

化石显示，4.5亿年前，含有木质素的植物首次出现，木质素使细胞坚硬，这样植物就得以长大，地球上出现了第一批树木。

随着全球的植物大量生长，毫无约束的光合作用从空气中吸取二氧化碳，使二氧化碳含量大大减少，而不能吸收木质素的、饥饿的节肢动物对此无能为力——地球进入了严寒期。

④动物又通过进一步进化进行了回击，主角是白蚂蚁和恐龙，它们学会了如何食用木质素，如何繁荣昌盛。

它们粗重的呼吸及对植物的破坏使空气中的二氧化碳高达今天的3倍，地球大部分地区酷热而潮湿，又恢复了温室效应。

赤峰市中考英语英语阅读理解一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old.Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks (咔哒声) with his tongue to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar (声纳). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. And he started the organization World Access for the Blind (WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works."When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect (反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. Each click is like a camera flash, which helps me make a 3-D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet. It's like having a conversation with the environment."Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. "It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way," he says. "But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I've never had an accident and hurt myself."He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. "We've served over 10, 000 students in nearly 40 countries," he tells the reporter. "Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn't in the eyes. It's in the mind."（1）Kish moves around using sonar because ________.A. he is good at making clicksB. it makes him "see" the worldC. he has a great interest in scienceD. it is important for him to keep healthy（2）Which of the following is the right order showing how the sonar works?①The sound waves reflect off surfaces.②The person makes a clicking sound.③The brain turns the sound into pictures.④The sound waves reach the person's ears.A. ①④③②B. ②①④③C. ①④②③D.②③①④（3）What can we learn about World Access for the Blind (WAFTB) from the passage? A. It offers the blind free bicycles.B. It sells sonar products to the blind.C. It teaches the blind to use sonar.D. It helps the blind find more friends.（4）The best title for the passage might be ________.A. Living without fearB. Traveling with the blindC. Hoping for the futureD. Looking around the world【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】文章大意：丹尼尔虽然失明，但是他能利用声呐帮助他行动。

Somebody says hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent each ofthem, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," whilelove :12+15+22+5="54," and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t , either.Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up withthe Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant(仆人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’ s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world.

But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different idea.The movie is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Half of our planet’s population is already dead and big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are destroyed. To save the Earth, the whole world works together and comes up with a plan: Move the whole planet to a safe place. Instead of running away from Earth, this time we’re taking it with us.Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home. That makes The Wandering Ea rth different for Hollywood-style space films. And the makers of the film may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was shown on Feb.5, the first day of Chinese New Year. Ti was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. “What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “Chinese sci-fi can really express our culture and spirit. If we can’t do that, we’re just copying and telling the same American stories.”I think this is a great movie. When facing a disaster, people from different parts of the world work together to save out planet. I was actually moved to tears by it. It is a movie you can’t miss.1．In the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, _____ will destroy our planetA．Earth B．humans C．aliens D．the sun2．Who thinks of the plans to move the Earth in the film?A．Liu Cixin B．The whole world C．Chinese D．Guo Fan3．According to the passage, we know that ______A．Chinese sci-fi movie are the same as Hollywood-style space filmsB．The Wandering Earth tells us a story about a superhero.C．The writer loves The Wandering Earth because it’s an interesting Chinese movieD．The Wandering Earth expresses the spirit of Chinese people.D16、Medical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need.
