中考英语阅读理解专项训练（含答案）

“Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that

will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people

ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.

As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough, so he

worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in

success.

In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told

stories about his childhood. These works were published, and Tolstoy became a well-known

writer.

He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with

Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning

of life, but soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not

answer his questions about faith.

So, in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school

for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor.

He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.

Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their

families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862,

Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.

The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote

his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace

is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a

simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him

happiness.

Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many

people all over the world.

In ancient times, there was a king who loved flowers. His palace was always decorated with

beautiful orchids (兰花) and other flowers. As the king grew older, he knew that one day he would

have to give up throne (王位). So he had to find someone to rule the country.

The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the

country and give every person a single orchid seed. He then announced that the person who grew

the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.

Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was

especially excited about the news because he had experience in growing flowers himself.

David planted his seed in a pot and put it in place where there was a lot of sunlight. He

watched it carefully every day, but as hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow. Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty pot to

the palace. “Your Majesty, I am sorry to say that I could not grow an orchid, but I hope you can

see that I tried my best,” he said.

The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new king,

he gave David a job as a royal court judge (法官). He believed that David’s honesty would make

him the right person to make sure the justice in the country.

每个国家都有各自的文化习惯，而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会，不过只要熟悉对方的风俗习惯做到入乡随俗，一切就OK啦！

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we

brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is

that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first

embarrassment in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food

to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her

that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I

said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took

me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they

Denies Walme in Texas, USA, now 14 years old, published his best-seller Unbending Gisula eight

years ago. The book is about a little whale named Gisul.

One day, Gisula did not take his mother's words and went up the beach. Then he got lost and

had to learn to live by himself. The colour pictures were drawn by Denies himself. Denies

published the books at the age of six He is said to be the youngest writer and picture artist.

Another surprising thing about the book is that it became a best seller immediately after it was

published and brought him a lot of money. Because he spent much time writing the books, his

study was not very good and he had to learn the year's work again but his gift of writing is highly

praised by the teachers and student. And he was even invited to give talks on writing.
