Although robots can already make cars, play music and do many trivial things for us, in the future, they can do more things, such as making websites, making houses and so on. Some people even believe that in the future with the help of robots, we needn't work.In the future, people might create a "man" that cannot have a will of his own and has to follow orders only from his master（主人）. The master must train him mentally with computers. As you know, an adult who follows the same training over and over again will not be able to change without another training. This means the master can have him work in a factory with no payment. And he will still be happy even if he only gets the basic life-support goods, because it's the way he was trained.

There were only five questions on it.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, "How many of you have completed all five questions?" No hand was raised. "How many of you have answered four?" Still no hands. "Three? Two?" The students moved restlessly in their seats. "One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one." But the class kept silent. The professor said, "That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don't know.

Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.At Mother's Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, "Mom, what's for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks." In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside thehome. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.In the United States, working wives do about 75%of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can't find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.Some women go to Mother's Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don't cook, they don't clean, they don't look after their children and husbands. What do they do?

He knows what he wants, and his aim is to find it and buy it. Most men simply walk into a shop and ask someone for what they want. If the shop has it, and the price is good, they often finish shopping in less than five minutes, to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, some problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. At that time, the salesman tries to sell the man something else. He offers something that is almost the same as the article the man wants. Good salespeople say, "I know this jacket is not what you really want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you like." Most men don't care about this and may answer, "This may be the right color and the right size, but I won't waste my time trying it on."For a woman, it is different. Most of the time, she goes shopping not because she needs something. She hasn't decided what she wants before she goes shopping. She just goes to "have a look around". At first, she thinks about finding something that everyone will say "It looks good on you." Most women are always looking for bargains（特价商品）. A woman may easily spend an hour looking at dresses before she wants to try on. It is a tiresome（令人厌烦的） process. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the waiting husbands.（1）According to the underlined sentence in the first paragraph, we know that men decide what they want .A. before they go shoppingB. after they go into shopsC. right awayD. after thinking about it for a while（2）What does "… but I won't waste my time trying it on" mean in the second paragraph?A. The jacket is not the right color.B. The man has no time.C. The jacket is not what the man wants.D. The man doesn't want to buy anything at all.（3）The underlined word "article" in the second paragraph is .A. a piece of writingB. a part of an agreementC. a thingD. a jacket（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. Men buy clothes faster than women.B. Most women always look for bargains.C. Most women like to have a look around.D. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the children.4．阅读理解Maybe your childhood piano lessons made you never, want to play the piano again. Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you.

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。

Let's get a new pet to get along with it," Mrs Brown said to her husband."That sounds like a pretty good idea," he answered. "Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?""Let's go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we both can go," she said.The next morning the Browns met Mr Snow at the animal shelter. "We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes," Mr Snow said, "so I need to ask you some questions."After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn't need a big house or a big yard. A small dog would bark and warn him if someone tried to break into their house. After Mr Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care, they chose one and wanted to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hadn't checked her yet. So Mr Snow told them to return on Sunday.On Sunday afternoon the Browns went to the animal shelter. The animal doctor said, "Shadow has had all of her shots. She will be healthy. "The Browns thanked the doctor and took Shadow home.（1）From the reading we learn that .A. the Browns never had a pet beforeB. the Browns knew about Shadow from the newspaperC. Shadow was a small and healthy dogD. Mr Brown didn't quite agree with his wife（2）The animal shelter in the reading means .A. a place to sell small dogsB. a place to keep homeless animalsC. a place to study animalsD. a place to sell books on pet care（3）Mr Snow asked the Browns some questions to .A. see if they had moved to a new houseB. find out how rich the Browns wereC. know where they'd keep their new petD. make sure they'd take care of pets（4）The Browns thought that a small dog .A. didn't need any room to keepB. could help them watch their houseC. ate less food than a bigger oneD. usually had a beautiful name2．阅读理解You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great. I believe it is a normal thought in today's society to just let life happen to us. I also believe that we sometimes destroy（毁灭） our well-planned thoughts about success because it's easier to just continue as usual rather than "try" with the possible failure in mind.Most people never get moving because they don't know what they want. Without a certain result already set in your mind, it's really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your attentionmay soon disappear and you give up before long.Why not consider what's really important in your life? Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have. At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes you've taken .You'll soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you should be going towards.Knowledge is useless without action. You read many books but your life will stay the same if you don't use the knowledge. Knowledge is fantastic but it will not change your life until it is used.I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude（积极的态度）towards my life , but I also realize that if I don't set goals to achieve, then I will always be a talk the talk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it .If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may be best to keep your mouth closed.Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask, Act! Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living up to our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whatever you want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limits（限制）we have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think. It is what we experience when we behave according to the thoughts we have.（1）What will happen if you have the possible failure in your mind?A. You will destroy your well-planned thoughts about success.B. You'll have great pressure and try not to make any mistakes.C. You will try your best and come up with a much better plan.D. You'll put all the opportunities to good use to try your plan.（2）In Paragraph Two, the writer wants to .A. tell us what people need to get successB. show us what people set in their mindC. talk about why people should practiceD. explain why people stop going ahead（3）What does the underlined part "a talk the talk person "mean in the passage?A. A person who is good at giving talks.B. A person who talks big but does nothing.C. A person who is active in talking.D. A person who is an energetic talker.（4）Which of the following is NOT true of the passage?A. Knowledge is fantastic when it's used, or it's useless.B. Knowledge is useless without action.C. Success always stops us from succeeding but ourselves.D. Action will tell you who you are.（5）What is the best title for the passage?A. See a Clear Picture of LifeB. Taking Actions Leads to SuccessC. Set Your Goals to AchieveD. Actions Speak Louder than Words3．阅读下面的材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

深圳市中考英语试卷英语阅读理解题分类汇编(及答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解At some point in life, many people develop a mental (精神) problem.While most people get over it, for others it doesn't go away easily.The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020. It will become one of the main causes of illness, and even death.In China, the picture isn't bright, either. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying (欺凌). In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source (渠道) of stress. Online, young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures", says the centre.Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, "If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever.""My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—ask for help," he told China Daily.（1）Which of the following is NOT the cause of stress according to the passage?A. Heavy schoolworkB. Being bullied at school.C. Some information from the Internet.D. Certainty about the future.（2）Why don't Chinese people ask for help with their mental problems?A. They don't think them serious.B. They can get over them in time.C. They can keep their mental health secret.D. They are afraid of being looked down upon.（3）What does the underlined word "stigma" most probably mean in Chinese?A. 羞耻B. 印象C. 援助D. 危害（4）Elaine Peng advised the teenagers with mental illness to ______.A. think less of themselvesB. avoid being bulliedC. ask for help as soon as possibleD. stay away from the Internet.（5）The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. ask research centers for helpB. tell about teenagers' stressesC. call public attention on teenagers with mental illnessD. show some different opinions from different countries【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）A（4）C（5）C【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述世界上许多人有精神疾病，到2020年世界上有一半的青少年患精神方面的疾病。

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According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University, nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2019, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone.However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it sends us unlimited amounts of information. On the other hand, using a smartphone may become an addiction.Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university. They led the study. Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction.And these connections form slowly over time. Also, addiction to social media may affect our emotional state. The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings. They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely, depressed and anxious.Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction. They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction. The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts.But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers. Enk Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook, set aside a small amount of time to it. You should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you.（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Smartphone use has become extremely common.B. Most young people can't live without smartphones.C. Smartphones make our life more colorful and convenient.D. Most people consider smartphones as the greatest invention.（2）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means smartphone technology____.A. has a brilliant futureB. can be better than most people thinkC. has both advantages and disadvantagesD. can give us unlimited amounts of information（3）What did Enk Peper and Richard Harvey find about smartphone use?A. It can help reduce loneliness.B. It's more popular with students.C. It's preferred by young people feeling lonely.D. It can harm students' emotional state in many ways.（4）What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Social media isn't that important to us.B. We can train our brine to do many things.C. We shouldn't become addicted to our smartphones.D. There are ways to deal with Smartphone use addiction.（5）Which of the followings is True?A. We can use smartphones to deal with loneliness.B. An addiction can't be controlled if we still use smartphones.C. There were nearly 2. 4 billion people using smartphones in the world in 2017.D. Stop using smartphones if you don't know when and where you should answer the emails.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）D（4）D（5）C【解析】【分析】【文章大意】本文讲述了智能手机的利与弊。

In the film, she played the role of a little girl watching a gun fight. Her most famous role is Prim in the movie The Hunger Games. She worked hard for the movie and she read the book carefully before acting. Willow did so well that the director said, "It's so exciting to find an amazing young actress like her. We're very lucky to have her." Shields continued in her role until November, 2015, when the final of four movies of The Hunger Games series came out.Because Willow is always busy, she is home schooled.

There's no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe（贿赂） him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents.Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't. I don't often remember a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner-that kind from his or her homeland-won't go wrong, except to government employees（政府职员） who can't be givenpresents.You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, "It's so nice. Thanks…" when you get Christmas or birthday presents.You may want to bring a bottle of wine（葡萄酒） or flowers to a dinner party, but you're never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year—doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders—anyone who has often helped us.（1）What kind of presents don't Americans usually open in front of the givers?A. The small presents.B. Christmas or birthday presents.C. The expensive presents.D. The presents for dinner party.（2）Which of the following do you think is RIGHT?A. American business people don't want presents because they are rich enough.B. The writer of this passage must be an American.C. Everyone must give presents to one's family and friends at Christmas.D. Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner.（3）What is the main idea of the passage?A. Present-giving in the United States.B. Customs（习俗） in the United States.C. American people and present-giving.D. When and how to give presents.3．阅读理解I believe that we can have an important effect on anyone we meet. The right words at just the right time could change someone's life. When I was three years old, my parents discovered I was deaf. After asking many doctors and parents of other deaf children, they decided to put me in a normal school.On my first day in the school, the other kids made fun of me because of my hearing aid. And then I saw myself as an ugly kid.Mrs. Jordan, my teacher changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase. One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her lips（嘴唇） and raised my hand right away. She called me. I took a deep breath and nervously answered Mrs. Jordan's question.I will never forget what happened next. Mrs. Jordan pointed directly at me. With a big smile she cried,"That's right, Stephen! "For the first time in my young life, my confidence soared（剧增）.At that moment, I decided that no matter how many difficulties I may face, I can overcome（克服）them. Just from those three simple words, my life changed from that moment.When I was three years old, my parents discovered I was deaf.

He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples（样本）," he explained.Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty."Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked. "I didn't. You did, "he said, waiting for a while before continuing." You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude（态度） test today.""What do you mean an attitude test?" we wanted to know."It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained（抱怨） about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks." We did. They were full. "I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative（负面的） thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things."This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in life-the power of attitude.（1）A geologist is a person who .A. grows plantsB. studies the earthC. sells stonesD. draws pictures （2）What did the writer and his brother often do when staying with their uncle in thecountryside?A.

By comparing negative thoughts to stones.（5）This article is mainly written to tell us that .A. we should do science tests from time to timeB. we should spend more time collecting storiesC. we should be more positive when facing difficultiesD. we should pay more attention to our backpacks6．阅读理解Need to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allowcustomers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."（1）The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping（2）What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.（3）Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.（4）What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start（5）Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?（P=Paragraph）A.B.C.D.7．阅读理解One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive （原谅） me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology （道歉） has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.（1）From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.A. tall and fatB. short and shyC. short and activeD. lovely and fat（2）Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.A. happyB. interestedC. sorryD. bored（3）This passage tells us that ________.A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB. Jimmy's apology was unimportant to ChristianC. Christian wasn't lovely in factD. it is impossible to say sorry to others8．阅读理解The main difference between China and Western countries on the dinner table is chopsticks instead of a knife and fork, but that's just a small difference. Besides, in decent（像样的）restaurants, you can always ask for a knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal（正式的）dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do his best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes. The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup will then be served （unless it is a Guangdong-style restaurant）, followed by rice, noodles or dumplings. Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food onto their guests' plates. In formal dinners, there are always "public" chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of real friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food on the plate. People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing（令人尴尬的） if all the food is consumed（吃光）. When you have had enough, just say so, or you will always overeat!（1）What's the real difference between Chinese and Western table manners?A. The tools people use to eat.B. Whether people share food on the same plate.C. The things people like to eat.D. How to begin the dinner politely.（2）If a foreigner first comes to have dinner in a Chinese family, he may be _____.A. given little foodB. served with rice firstC. served with many dishesD. asked to use "public" chopsticks（3）Which of the following is the RIGHT order for most Chinese formal dinners according to the passage?A. Rice-soup-hot meat-cold dishes.B. Vegetable dishes-soup-dumplings-cold dishes.C. Cold dishes-hot meat-soup-rice.D. Cold dishes-soup-hot meat-rice.（4）What's the best title for this passage?A. Having dinner with foreignersB. How to use chopsticksC. The importance of table mannersD. Chinese table manners9．阅读理解Swimming and English Learning Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learnto swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.（1）You can learn to swim by ______.A. reading books about itB. looking at others swimmingC. having lessons on itD. going into the river and learning（2）We should learn English by ______.A. listening and speakingB. reading and writingC. A and BD. swimming（3）What will you do with mistakes when you speak?A. Don't make mistakes.B. Study hard.C. Try not to speak English.D. Don't be afraid. 10．阅读理解Charity Walk in 2017Sunday 18th June 201710:00 am- Register（登记）10:30 am- -Walk Begins18th~24th JuneVenue（场地）: Baddesley Clinton House B930DQWalk registration fee（登记费用）:Adults: $5 （on the day $ 7）Children: $3 （on the day $4）Under 5 years old: freeBy paying the registration fee you will be able to enter Baddesley ClintonHouse and grounds for free （normally BRM/DAY $10.45~ $11. 50 foradults and $5. 15~ $5.70 for children）Pets welcome on the walk but they cannot enter the house and gardens.If you are interested in taking part, please call Michael at 0121 788 1143 or email centre@.

Kids who regularly take care of themselves are called "latchkey kids".This nickname got its start in the 1940s. Many men fought in the Second World War and women had to take jobs in factories to keep the country going. With both parents away, lots of kids went back to empty houses after school. Latchkey kids wore house keys around their necks and they used the keys to open doors.Today, it's common for both parents to work. As a result, a new generation of kids are spending some time alone after school. It becomes necessary for both parents and kids to make some rules. There are a lot of questions to talk about:Should you call your mum, or dad as soon as you get home?Should you do your homework first?Can you watch TV or play computer games? If so, how long?What can you eat if you want a snack?Can friends come over? If so, how many?……As latchkey kids, knowing how to stay safe is just as important as following the family rules. Talk about the following questions with your parents:What should you do when the phone rings?What should you do if someone knocks at the door?What should you do if someone breaks into the house?What should you do if you cut yourself while cooking?……You may feel when you are at home alone.

One night Bob was at home alone while his parents were out for a party. He had often stayed alone before, so he wasn't afraid. As he waited for his parents to return home, he watched a film on TV. His eyes became heavier and heavier as time passed by.Suddenly Bob's eyes opened wide- what was the sound in the next room? Bob heard the window being opened slowly. For a minute, Bob was so frightened that he could not move, and his body felt like ice.

深圳市外国语学校初中英语阅读理解阅读专项练习试卷一、英语阅读理解阅读1．阅读理解Many of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating enough food, genes（基因）and. aging（老化）. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you'd better take a break every once in a while.Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly（定期地） and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.（1）________________ is the most important way to protect our eyes.A. Taking medicineB. Natural eye careC. Seeing the doctorD.

Then Miriam and her mother visited Africa to learn how the group was helping elephants. Later, Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them.A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a film about themistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girl's effort to save them. Miriam decided she wanted to raise money to save elephants.Last year, Miriam created a program called They Deserve（应得） to Be Free after seeing how young elephants are abused in Thailand. She learned how people take a baby elephant, don't give it food or water for days and beat it hard. "It made me really sad. I need to do something useful." Miriam said.Miriam is working to make money for Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts.She recently joined about 12 other students in an art center. They made elephants from clay and decorated（装饰） them. Then she created a plan to sell clay elephants.Kate, Miriam's art teacher, opened her art studio（工作室）to Miriam and her friends on weekends so they could make clay elephants. She even gave them the clay." It's great to see a young student wanting to spend her time on something meaningful.

I was terrified but I just acted cool.—Buding, still afraid of spidersI was scared of the dark because I didn't know if there was something scary inside the room. As a result, I always liked sleeping with my back facing the wall because it made me a little comfortable.—Gerard, not so afraid of the dark anymore, but still sleeps with his back facing the wallStrange as it probably sounds, I was scared of shadows（影子）.Not the shadows themselves, but what they formed（形成）.Because I was near-sighted（近视的）, the shadows I saw formed into the scariest things I saw in my mind.—Jean, no longer afraid of shadows I was afraid of the old woman who lived alone right in front of us. Very large trees covered the front part of her small house. The few times I saw the old woman, it scared me because she looked like a witch（女巫）.Once I was playing volleyball with my friends and the ball flew into her house.

According to a study, there are 3 of every 4 people having such a problem. The conclusion is a bit surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. You needn't write details. Just put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. You needn't look at your cards for a long time while speaking. Only have a quick look at the card for information instead of reading every last word if necessary.Smile at your class. When it's time to speak, a good old-fashioned smile is the best to draw your class into your speech. Be happy, because you're about to teach your class something they don't know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infectious. That means once you smile, it's hard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That will make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.Make eyes contact. It's so boring to listen to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you're communicating with them. Also, you'll look like you know what you are talking about.Use hand motions. Move you hand along as you talk, using them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.（1）According to the passage, of people are afraid of speaking in public.A. 25%B. 50%C. 100%D. 75%（2）The words "smiles are infectious" means .A. smiles is a kind of illnessB. smiles keep people fitC. your smiles can make others warm and want to smile tooD. it's hard to make others smile（3）Which is the right picture to the last paragraph?A.

D.（4）The passage mainly talks about .A. a boy's speech in classB. how to note cardsC. the fear of public speakingD. how to make a speech better5．阅读理解Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness（孤独） over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!（1）Which of the following shows the change in Anna's feelings?A. excited→afraid→lonely→happyB. happy→lonely→sad→proudC. afraid→relaxed→nervous→happyD. nervous→angry→happy→sad（2）The underlined word "contact" in Paragraph 2 means .A. agreeB. greetC. praiseD. communicate（3）According to the writer's opinion, which is the easiest way to catch others' attention?A.

Have you ever noticed the differently-colored Bins on the street?Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment.If you don't sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill and Be Buried（埋） together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have Been used for planting trees or Crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as Batteries, Can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of waste, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.With this in mind, many Cities in China have Been running waste-sorting Campaigns （活动）in recent years. For example, Shanghai announced in July that within three years, all of its residents（居民）should sort their waste into four groups wet, recyclable, harmful and dry."Wet" waste is also known as household waste." They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat," Guangzhou Daily explained. Paper, metal, glass and other things that Can Be reused are recyclable waste.Harmful waste includes things like medicine, Batteries and fluorescent Bulbs. Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the" dry waste" bin.Many other Chinese Cities, including Shenzhen, plan to use this method to sort their garbage.

But now someone has managed to return the favor.The event took place on a snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. "As I was walking, I just saw Jack running into the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out," said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. "Someone else told me the lake was only one meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I didn't think I had ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!"A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. "The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner （Smith） was in the water forcing his way through the ice, I couldn't imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber-he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid—back about it, "Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead near any icy pond.Pets are members of our family.

The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in thedata. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites（社交媒体网站）, companies and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need more help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.（1）This reading is about ______.A. what big data is and how it is usedB. what schools and hospitals people likeC. where important data is collected and storedD. how big data is controlled by governments and companies（2）One company uses weather information to ______.A. help children in needB. know when people will visit the hospitalC. find out who tides the bus or trainD. understand when people will need ice cream （3）The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ____.A. big data can be used for good reasonsB. we can use big data in a number of waysC. big data can be used for both good and bad reasonsD. we can use big data to stop babies from getting sick（4）The overall tone （总基调） of this reading is _________.A. sad and personalB. personal and scientificC. informative but sillyD. scientific and informative9．阅读理解It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, "I'll send mom some roses（玫瑰）."While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. "How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?" he asked. The assistant（店员） was trying to tell him roses wereas expensive as forty dollars a dozen（一打）. Maybe he would be happy with carnations（康乃馨）."No, I have to have red roses, "he said. "My mom was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses, for roses are her favorite."After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, "Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you." Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery（墓地）. Crying, the young man carefully put down the roses, "Mom, oh, Mom, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you?

Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part ofthe problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."（1）The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping（2）What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D.

I'm not going to say luck, talent, and Circumstances（境遇）don't Come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hoursstudying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, it'll require even more time, which most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge Chance that you're wrong anyway.No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Hard work won't guarantee（保证）you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success（2）The underlined word" that" refers to __________.A. putting in more timeB. succeeding in lifeC. Being good at somethingD. setting a practical goal（3）Successful people suggest doing what one loves Because __________.A. work makes him feel painB. he is likely to enjoy his workC. he gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed（4）What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain that luck or talent leads to success.B. To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.C. To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.D. To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.4．阅读理解Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, andthose bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problems like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike- sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.（1）From the first paragraph, we know ______.A. bike-sharing is invented in ChinaB. sharing-bikes are used by some peopleC. most people in cities don t driveD. sharing-bikes can be borrowed anywhere（2）II you want to use a sharing-bike, you must _________ first.A. have a smartphone and download an appB. download an app and pay for the tripC. unlock the bike and download an appD. find a nearest bike and borrow it from anyone（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.

Bike-sharing is a kind of green transport.（4）The passage probably comes from a ________.A. science textbookB. tourist guideC. website news reportD. restaurant menu 5．阅读理解What can we learn from the special, very successful people in the world who make the impossible possible?Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are neededBill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas.Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expectFind your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. StephenJacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy comets（封星） or planets which hit into Earth.However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge（海绵）. This suggested that Earth's water might have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity."I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, "he said. "But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn't happen very often. When it does, it's amazing."Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long wayYears of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency's "Philae", a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by "Philae" had taken ten years!The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted.When "Philae" tried to land, it bounced（弹起）away from the comet's icy surface twice. Luckily, however, "Philae" landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because____________.A. they preferred to learn by themselvesB. they needed standard ways of teachingC. their teachers didn't like their new ideasD. their teachers weren't able to teach them（2）In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________.A. we should get answers from factsB. we can believe what we are taughtC. it's hard to make others believe somethingD. an expectation can help get an answer in research（3）The example of "Philae" in Lesson 3 shows that________.A. Comet 67P was not far away from EarthB. it took "Philae"2o years to reach Comet 67PC. "Philae" landed on Comet 67P with a little luckD. scientists know nothing about the surface of Comet 67P（4）The best title for this passage is_____.A. Ways of learningB. Lessons for successC.

These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they?In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1, 200 kilometers from the earth, we'll findno air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun.Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters（使散射） the sunlight. light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light or colors.（1）Planes can't fly as high as possible because_________.A. the sky is blueB. the wings are heavierC. the sky has no colorD. the air becomes thinner（2）When you stand on the top of a high mountain, you will see_________.A. more airB. the bluer skyC. more colorsD. more clouds（3）In Ningbo, we might see many colors in the sky at _________during the day.A. 6: 00 a. m.B. 10: 00 a. m.C. 1: 00 p. m.D. 2: 00 p. m.（4）The sky changes colors because____________.A. it's colorful itselfB. the world is colorfulC. the sunlight has colorsD. the air scatters the sunlight7．阅读理解Australia at last!

In fact, everyone has the power to change their living habits to help reduce it. Many local governments call on their people to take action to make the air cleaner.Transport is one of the biggest contributors（促成物） to haze. When, where, bow, why and what you drive all affect air quality. When one drives to work for one year, he uses as much energy as a bus rider uses in 10 years. So walk or ride your bicycle to work or school whenever possible. If it is necessary, you can use public transport instead of your car. Each person using public transport for a year instead of a car can save nearly a tonne of pollutants, including CO2, from going into the atmosphere.Carpooling is another way to reduce carbon emissions （排放）. Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. It immediately reduces your car's emissions by half.What you do inside your living space can have a big effect on the air quality outside it.
