深圳市中考英语英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Mark, a young person, tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter(打字机)."You've got to want to write,"I say to them," not want to be a writer."The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded(报答). When I left a 20-year job in the US Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no hopes at all.What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt (MWE ) myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wonder in " what if".I would keep putting my dream to the test-even though it meant living with uncertainty(不确定) and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.（1）According to the author's idea, writing is .A. enjoyableB. interestingC. lonelyD. boring（2）When the author left his 20-year job, he .A. felt sadB. lost his heartC. felt unforgettableD. found himself（3）When the author went to the New York apartment building, .A. there was almost nothing thereB. there was everything thereC. the author was pleased with itD. the author was so happy（4）What does the underlined word " shadowland " probably mean in Chinese?A. 点点希望B. 夺目强光C. 人生低谷D. 虚幻境界（5）What's the main idea of the passage?A. Tell us to study hard.B. Let us dream of succeeding.C. Let us do something that we can't accept.D. Hold on to your dream even if you meet difficulties.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D（5）D【解析】【分析】做为一个成名的作家，作者在本文中讲述了自己成功路上的艰辛，告诫那些想成为作家的年轻人：写作是一项孤单寂寞而又收入微薄的工作，在数千名渴望成功的作家中,能获得命运垂青只是寥寥数人而已。

During the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.But sometimes our hope for getting more gold medals can result in our more disappointment (失望) if the athletes fail to get them. For example, when Liu Xiang, China's track hero, pulled out of the 2008 Beijing Olympics because of his injury (伤势), he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans.But things are different now. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier and more lenient (宽容的) Chinese attitude towards the sportspeople, fully in line with the Olympic spirit—that is—friendship, participation, fair play and never give up.China didn't win any gold medals on the first day. But, instead of criticizing (批评) the athletes, most of the fans were happy with their efforts. "They have tried their best. Athletes don't feel good after they miss the gold medal." That's the attitude of most audience. It shows the maturity (成熟) of a person, and is also a development of a country.Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans' hearts, even though she only won a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo have increased from 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans like her straightforward character and attitude towards competitions."The attitude towards the Olympics has got to a higher level. We are happy to see this warm change." said an article in People's Daily.（1）When sports fans were watching the Olympic Games on TV, they ________.A. cheered for themselvesB. had a celebration partyC. wished their athletes to winD. played sports with the family（2）What can we know about Liu Xiang from the passage?A. He didn't complete his event in the Beijing Olympics.B. He was asked to give up the competition.C. The audience had little hope for him.D. He never disappointed Chinese sports fans.（3）People like Fu Yuanhui because of her ________.A. winning a bronze medalB. kindness to the fansC. Sina WeiboD. attitude to competitions（4）The passage is mainly about ________.A. the changing attitude towards sportspeople in ChinaB. the importance of winning gold medalsC. the maturity of a person and a countryD. the development of sports in China【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了2016年里约奥运会中国人对运动态度的变化。

Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast.

深圳市中考英语英语阅读理解精选含答案一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Social media plays an important role in our lives. We check our socialmedia accounts(账户) such as emails and Facebook almost every day. Lately, people like posting pictures just for the purpose of getting others' attention through their “flowers”, no matter whether these pictures are good or not. Recently, I was very annoyed with these types of posts, so I decided to stop using social media for one week.After not using social media for a week, I can honestly say that everything has changed. Before last week, I used to check Facebook more than five times a day, as well as of my other social accounts, and I couldn't understand why I did that. Now I check Facebook much less.People are so obsess(迷恋的) with posting pictures that have no meaning to them just for the purpose of posting something online. Whenever I look at Instagram, all of the comments on pictures are the same. People depend on how many “likes” they get on what they p ost as an achievement. I just want to say, “None of it matters!” As I start to fully understand this now, I wonder why I have social media if all of this annoys me so much. But then I realize that I actually post meaningful things that my friends enjoy, and to me, that's more important than getting “likes” on a picture.Maybe as a society, we are using social media wrongly. I think we sometimes forget that social media helps us contact with people who are far away from us. I think it's a beautiful thing that I am able to go on Facebook and feel connected with people that I don't have the opportunity of seeing every single day anymore.（1）Why did the writer decide to stop using social media for one week?A. Because she had very few “flowers”.B. Because she had got tired of the posts on it.C. Because she didn't have any good pictures to post on.D. Because there was something wrong with her computer.（2）What do we know about the writer from Paragraph 2?A. She didn't know how to use Facebook.B. She didn't like posting things on Facebook.C. She used to check her social media accounts a lot.D. She has given up using social media forever.（3）According to the writer, people should use social media to ______.A. receive important commentsB. learn about other people's livesC. get “likes” from their “flowers”D. connect with faraway friends and family（4）What is the main idea of the passage?A. People should not use social media.B. Technology is changing our lives today.C. Comments on social media are interesting.D. Social media should be used for good purposes.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文讲述了作者厌烦社交网络从而一周不用社交网络，并有了一些感想。

Some parents don't believe, .but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their homework with the television on."I prefer to work on the floor with music on," said Sam, a 13-year-old boy."

EMy dear grandchildren Charlie and Mary,Your mother Rachel has expected me to write down some advice for you. Here are some important things that I've learnt about life. Wish they could help you more or less.Hold on to your dreams no matter how difficult they are or how “different” they may seem to others. Just do it! The worst thing in life is to look back and say, “I would have ...; I could have ...; I should have...”Make a “Life List” of all those things you want to do such as travelling to places, learning a skill, mastering a language or meeting someone special. Don't say “I'll do it tomorrow”. There is no tomorrow, and there is no “right” time to begin som ething except now.Be kind and spare no effort to help people — especially the weak and the poor. Everyone has a special pain, and they need our care and help.Read books, as many as you can. They bring pleasure, knowledge and inspiration (灵感) to you. Always travel, especially when you are young. Don't wait until you have “enough” money or everything is “just right”. That never happens. Get your passport today.Remember not to argue. It never works, and it only hurts both yourselves and others. You should hug people you love. Tell them how much they mean to you now. Don't wait until it's too late.Be grateful. There is an Irish saying, “This is a day in our lives, and it will not come again.” Live every day with this in mind.Yours,Granny （1）What does the underlined phrase “spare no effort” mean?A. Do your bestB. Find your timeC. Use your own wayD. Take your time （2）What did the writer wish her grandchildren to be?A. Rich and famousB. Healthy and strongC. Funny and activeD.

深圳市中考英语英语阅读理解试题(附答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy." or "You're a lucky gal." That's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesn't think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.（1）The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker ___________________.A. feels happy because his friends were nice to himB. feels he may not have "read" his friends' true feelings correctlyC. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girlfriend HelenD. is sorry that his friends let him down（2）From the example "You're a lucky dog", we can learn that ______________.A. the speaker of the sentence is friendlyB. it means the same as "You're a lucky guy." or "You're a lucky gal."C. sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the wordsD. the word "dog" shouldn't be used to describe a person（3）The passage tries to tell you how to ___________.A. avoid mistakes about money and friendsB. bring the "dog" bit into our conversationC. be friendly to other peopleD. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you（4）What is important in listening to a person?A. To notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes.B. To listen to how he pronounces his words.C. To check if his words go well with his manner, his tone of voice and his posture.D. Don't believe what he says.（5）If you follow the writer's advice, you would ____________.A. be able to get the real meaning of people's wordsB. avoid any mistakes while talking with the people who envy youC. not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD. be able to observe peopleas they are talking to you【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）C（5）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了怎样避免误解他人。
深圳市中考英语英语阅读理解试题(附答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a street light or car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains（窗帘） seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the dark would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination（想象） would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy（敌人）" would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get on the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes（过程） of growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.（1）The author had kind(s) of fears when he was a child.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. none（2） would scare the author at night.A. Street lights and car lightsB. Wild animals and enemiesC. Moving curtains and windD. Strange sights and sounds（3）When the author went to some other places on school or family trips, he would .A. walk away without othersB. take a bus by himselfC. follow others closelyD. make sure not to take a wrong bus（4）The underlined word "overcome" means " " in Chinese.A. 接受B. 忍受C. 信服D. 克服【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章讲述了作者小时候害怕的三件事，怕黑，怕走丢，怕不被别人喜欢或者不被别人接受。

One was a very rich banker， another owned one of the largest companies in the world， and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.The reporter was talking to them about being important.“How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.The banker thought for a few moments and then said，“I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.The man shook his head，“No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country， and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so？”“No， I don‘t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.“Oh， I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang，and the President picked up the receiver， listened and then said，‘It’s for you.‘”根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。
