长沙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That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining street-light. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the street.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the street anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the street next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes."Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.（1）How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and helpful.C. Disappointed and helpless.D. Satisfied and cheerful.（2）From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy _________.A. solving her problem at the bankB. preparing for the first night showC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. taking part in various city activities（3）On her way home the writer __________.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her （4）In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home.B. A red-haired man came to see her.C. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.D. She heard someone call her name.（5）From the text, we can infer that the writer _________.A. would stop working at nightB. would give up her job at the bankC. would stay on in San FranciscoD. would make friends with cleaners【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D（5）C【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者在忙碌的工作之后感觉十分的失望无奈，只是在她回家的路上她的钱包在不知不觉中丢了，她在回去找钱包的路上遇到了归还钱包的清洁工，这份善良唤回了她对城市的信心。

Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing(吸收吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama ‘Huiban Huiban’’, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic(戏剧的)art integrating music, performance, literature, aria, and face painting.Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken partsin one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage;there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play;in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama,including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics(杂技)In addition to its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers (表演者) of all time， was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.“ You will be puzzled(困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.

US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses as a tip for their work.But why is this? Shouldn't waiters get paid enough by their bosses? Well, many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage(最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor， some states pay their servers(服务员) only ＄2. 13(about 14 yuan )per hour.While no one makes you tip, if you are at a sit-down restaurant, it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent of what your bill is.It's not just for waiters either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips. But it is much more expected to tip waiters.The US hasn’’t always had this tipping culture. In fact, people were mostly against it until the The US hasnProhibition Era(禁酒令时代) in the1920s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, restaurants had trouble making enough money. So, they started to ask people to tip theirwaiters.This tipping culture has lasted through the years, but most people don’t like it. Some thinkrestaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay their workers well.There isn't much action beingtaken to make a change yet.So, for now,be sure to tip your waiter when in the US.1. What's the very important difference when you go to the US?____________________________________2 Are waiters and waitresses well paid in the US?____________________3. Who also work for tips in the US?__________________________4. Why did the restaurants start to ask people to tip their waiters ?____________________________5. What do most people think of this tipping culture?_______________________________10Waves(波浪) are beautiful to look at， but huge waves are greatly harmful to ships at sea, as well as houses and buildings near the seaside. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones.The size of a wave is decided by how strong the wind is, how long it blows, and how large the body of water is.In a small bay, big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up big, powerful waves.It is believed that the height of a wave(in meters )will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind's speed(in kilometers ). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers an hour, most waves will be 12 meters high or less. Of course, some waves may come together to form big waves that are much higher.1. What are huge waves greatly harmful to?_________________________2. What cause most waves?_______________________3. Why are there winds?__________________________4. Can big waves build up in a small bay?_____________________________________5. How high will most waves be when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers an hour?____________________________________参考答案：参考答案： Passage 1【主旨大意』本文是一篇说明文。

Have you heard ofexercise snacks (零食式锻炼)?Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack.It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long.There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices:Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles.Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack.For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout.What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it!3．How long can an exercise snack last according to the passage?A．20 seconds to two minutes.B．30 minutes to four hours.C．Five to ten minutes.4．Which is an acceptable exercise snack mentioned in the passage?A．Doing math exercises.B．Eating snacks.C．Doing sit-ups.5．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) to exercise snacks?A．Doubtful.B．Unclear.C．Supportive.6．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To change traditional eating habits.B．To introduce an inventive new way to stay fit.C．To encourage people to do long-time outdoor exercise.The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity.The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind.But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now.Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather.After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful.

When we talk with each other, we may use body language. For example, in the USA, a person points to his or her head when he thinks someone is clever. However, human beings are not the only ones who use body language. Animals also use body language to tell each other how they feel and what theythink. When a dog is happy, its ears will stand up, and its eyes will be widely open. When it is angry, it will look straight at you. If an elephant spreads its ears, it means “Watch out”. To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks (象鼻). Dolphins (海豚) live in groups and like to show each other their feelings. An angry dolphin will sometimes slap (拍打) its tail on the water. A happy dolphin will play with its fiends, making small jumps into the water.阅读下面的材料，判断下列句子是否符合短文内容。
