CPassage4As school kids, we might have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life’s biggest challenge, you may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can realize their dreams. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream can’t be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You should never give up your dream easily.There must be difficulties on the road to realize it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.1. The first thing you must do to realize the dream is .A. to find a dreamB. to learn more skillsC. to do anything you wantD. to remember what your dream is2.

There must be difficulties on the road to realize a dream.D. The biggest difficulty to realize dreams comes from parents.【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 4. B 5. CPassage 5Perhaps you’ve already watched or heard about Readers, a TV show that has recently become popular. It invites different people to read aloud on the stage as well as tell the touching stories behind them. They can read everything, like poems, novels, and letters.Many people are fans of the show and begin to enjoy reading aloud at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions(亭子) are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xi’an.The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. There is a micr ophone in it, which records people’s voices. Everyone can read anything they like for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later pick some of the readers and invite them to read on TV.People of all ages have come and read in the pavilion, according to People’s Daily. “Reading should be just like singing and talking,” said Dong Qing, the host ofthe show. “We can actually express our deep feelings through reading aloud.”“Both the TV sho w and the pavilion are pushing forward reading among the public,” reported by China Youth Daily. In fact, this is also what our country is trying to do now. During the two sessions(两会) this year, deputy(代表) Lu Yaping suggested that a national reading day should be set up, which received support from many other deputies.1. Who suggested setting up a national reading day during the two sessions this year?A. Dong QingB. People’s DailyC. China Youth DailyD. Lu Yaping2. What is in a reading pavilion?A. A telephone.B. A microphone.C. A book.D. A TV.3. From the passage we know that .A.

There’s no hope to set up a reading day.B. We are encouraged to do some reading.C. Reading can’t help express our feelings.D. Many people begin to enjoy reading aloud on TV.答案：1—4 DBABPassage 6Taking public transportation in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I rarely see people reading during their free time.Are people’s attitudes toward reading different here? Not really. Data (数据) released by Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They simply prefer e-books over regular books.However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature. From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms(《三国演义》)to the modern science-fiction epic The Three-Body Problem(《三体》)，Chinese authors have created many fantastic written works.Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely(肯定) have to read more and do more homework that US students. So it’s no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time.But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot imagine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own personal beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?1. From Paragraph 1, what do we know about people in the US?A. Most people take public transportation to work.B. Students have homework to do on their way to school.C. Many of them have the habit of reading.D. They read books that are left behind on public transportation.2. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Chinese people’s attitudes toward reading have change d.B. Chinese people prefer e-books to regular books now.C. Chinese people don't read in their spare time.D. Chinese people bought more books from Amazon China in 2017.3. Why is reading less popular in China, according to the author?A. Chinese people prefer to watch plays instead of reading.B. It’s hard to choose what to read.C. Chinese people already read enough books during their childhoods.D. People’s childhood experiences may influence their reading habits.4. According to the author, reading books can ___________.A. help you learn more about yourselfB. take too much of your timeC. make your imagination more powerfulD. change your view of the world5. What does the author want to express by writing the passage?A. Chinese people are too lazy to read.B. China has a rich history of literature.C. Chinese people should love reading.D. Chinese people are different from American people.答案：1--5 C B D D CPassage 7“When I grow up, I want to be...”Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may be different greatly. Even now your dream may have changed from when you were in primary school.However, it seems career choices aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011, in which medicine was the top choice among the UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions(职业). Doctors and lawyers are some of the most respected members of society, and they make good money.It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important signs of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just asChinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see happiness in other areas. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a lot of new and challenging jobs---coffee shop owner, waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and reward ing jobs.With every choice comes duty and challenge, and all career paths require special education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观)and confidence with being realistic about your talents and skills.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.Careers in teenagers’ mind.B. Choosing a good job is very important.C. Teenagers in the UK like doctors.D. The choice of career needs challenge.2．What is the top career choice among the UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the passage?A. BankingB. LawC. MedicineD. Education3.According to the article, all of the following are the advantages of being a doctor except_______.A. respect from othersB. the oldest professionC. high payD. being busy and tired4.What is increasingly becoming one of the most important signs of a successful career?A. EducationB. WealthC. HappinessD. Challenge5.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Career choices are not only based on personal taste.B. Chinese teenagers think bankers can have a lot of money.C. Doctors and bankers are two of the oldest careers.D. Some teenagers want to do new and challenging jobs.答案：1—5 ACDBCPassage 8Three students are choosing a course at The West Midlands College of Technology:1. We can learn from the passage that Clara is a(n) person.A. patientB. outgoingC. gentleD. traditional2. Taka wants to learn with computers from the Information TechnologyCourse.A. how to design clothesB. how to make photos betterC. how to draw wellD. how to design indoor decoration3. Ben would like to during his study at college.A. study more on computersB. set up a new rock bandC. do more part-time jobsD. focus on music and singing答案：1-3BADPassage 9When young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can be difficult. But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available --- micro-homes.Fondly called “tiny houses,” these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some say they have the space for more. What’s lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite modern in design.Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have practical features(特点). Making the best of urban space, the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world’s narrowest home, filled in an alley(小巷). The house uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to make its owner live practically anywhere.Although micro-homes are attractive, there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch. Moving into a tiny house, you should throw away unnecessary things. It is also mostly impossible to invite guests. And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary(暂时的) living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more thin gs.Though the limitation will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small sizeresults in low prices and small bills, making tiny houses easier to afford. And though you won’t have many things around the house, it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean. Micro-homes are also eco-friendly, which can’t be matched by o ther homes. They probably aren’t for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.1. What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2?A. People can’t take a package into the tiny houses.B. All of the houses can hold more than two people.C. These houses are convenient though tiny in size.D. Such houses are poorly designed because of the small size.2. The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly _____.A. by examplesB. by comparisonsC. by order in spaceD. by causesand effects3. Micro-homes are especially suitable for _____.A. a young person who has many thingsB. a person who doesn’t have much moneyC. a couple who want to protect environmentD. a family hoping to settle down in a city4. What can be the best title for the text?A. East or west, home is the best.B. Micro-homes --- more than tiny!C. Home-hunting --- no easy matter!D. Tiny or large, this is a choice.答案：1-4CABBPassage 10I’m sorry, Mr. Brown. Let me tell you why that idea may fail you. I know people who graduated at 21 and didn’t get a job until they were 27. I know people who graduated late at 25 and they found work immediately. I know people who never went to university but found what they love at 18. I know people who found a job straightout of college making much money but hate what they do. I know people who took gap years and found their purpose. I know people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16, but they changed their mind at 26. So my point is everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at some of your friends and think that they’re ahead of you. Maybe some of them you feel are behind. But everything happens at their own pace (速度). They have their own time and clock and so do you. Be patient.It took till 32 for J.K. Rowling to be published for Harry Potter. Ortega set up Zara when he was 39. Jack Ma started Alibaba when he was 35. Morgan Freeman got his big break (机遇) at 52. Steve Carell only got his break after 40 years old. Virgin was started by Richard Branson at 34.Getting your degree (学位) after 25 is still an achievement. Not being married at 30 but still happy is beautiful. Starting a family after 35 is still possible. And buying a house after 40 is still great. Don’t let anyone rush you with their time lines. As Einstein said, “Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that’s counted truly counts.” And this is the most important thing. I want you to be able to have meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling (让人感觉有意义的) lives for yourselves, and learn how to use that to make a difference in the lives of others. That will be the true success.1. The underlined “idea” may be the thought that ______.A. buying a house after 40 is greatB. getting a job after 35 is wonderfulC. starting a family after 30 is a shameD. getting a degree after 25 is an achievement2. The speaker gives so many examples of famous people in order to ______.A. tell listeners that they are too old to achieve successB. wish listeners to admire their wealthy but busy livesC. ask listeners to keep their own pace of life and be patientD. show listeners that they would never know what the true success is3. Which is TRUE according to the speech?A. Jack Ma failed 35 times before he started Alibaba.B. Everything in life happens according to one clock.C. Remember to look at someone and think they are behind.D. Enjoy your meaningful life and make a difference in others’ as well.4. The speech may make the listeners think life is full of ______.A. dangerB. hopeC. fearD. surprise答案：1~4 CCDBPassage 11Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in t heir lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brother s and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied s hyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelisworry less about failure and are less shy.For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget---if you are shy, you are not the only one.1. What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Passed down from parents.B. Learned from friends.C. Taught by teachers.D. Made up by brothers.2. We can learn from the passage that _______ may cause shyness.A. genetics, grown--ups and birthplaceB. genetics, family size and birthplaceC. family size, grown--ups and failureD. genetics, family size and freedom3.Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage? (P=Paragraph)4. According to the passage, why are Israelis less shy than Japanese?A Because Israelis are more clever.B Because Israelis blame themselves.C Because Israelis are afraid of failure.D Because Israelis appeal for freedom.答案：1—4ABADPassage 12In today’s world we are always surrounded (包围) bytechnology. It’s true to say that technology makes our liveseasier. However, more scientists are saying that we need togive ourselves a break—otherwise we will put ourselves atthe risk of developing hundreds of health problems. During the summer holidays, the days are longer, sunnier and free from school. With all this free time, why not put it to good use and do something that has nothing to do with technology?To start with, you can learn a new skill. There are hundreds of possibilities: cooking, learning a musical instrument or a new sport. Maybe you’ve always want ed to try out that recipe (食谱), but haven’t had time? Perhaps you like learning how to knit (编织), so you can have a new sweater for the autumn. You could use your free time to learn something new—and perhaps it’ll lead to an exciting chance in the future.If you just fancy relaxing, why not go to the seaside? Take your favourite book and relax on the sand, or just go for a walk along the beach. If you don’t live near the seaside, you could go to your local park. Have a picnic there or try to know about some of the local wildlife?Little things, like challenging yourself to complete a word puzzle, are great to start with. You could even get involved in the latest craze: adult colouring books! Colouring is surprisingly therapeutic (治疗的), and it can be a nice way to get away from the stress of modern life!You might surprise yourself and find a hidden talent within you, you might also make new friends along the way. Next time you find yourself aimlessly channel-changing, have a think at what else you could spend your time doing.1. Reading adult colouring books is a good way to ▲ .A. learn a new skillB. feel less stressedC. make new friendsD. challenge ourselves2. Which of the following explains the underlined word “fancy” in Paragraph 3?A. to want something or want to do somethingB. to think that you are very popularC. to like the idea of being something or to believeD. to think that somebody will win or be successful at something3. Which is the most suitable place in the passage fo r the sentence, “Whatever youchoose to do with your summer, try something new!”?A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.4. What’s the best title of th e passage?A. Ways of trying something newB. Finding a hidden talentC. Taking a break from technologyD. A better life with technology答案：1.B 2.A 3.D 4.CPassage 13The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness(固执), or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as uncomfortable, therefore, people try to fill every gap with conversations. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans think silence is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, especially when dealing with conflicts (矛盾）among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may keep silent when a powerful person is giving instructions because they think it rude to argue with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may regard silence as a sign of respect.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of。

It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children.Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playingoutside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according tothe research?A. 30 minutes.B. 60 minutes.C. 90 minutes.D. 120 minutes.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children becausethey have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hoursa day playing outside.D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.3. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.参考答案1. D 2. C 3. BB（2019中考保健与健康类选练）How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an average ( 平均) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a day. Most people have a night when they cannot sleep. About one in three(1/3) Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia.This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, a famous statesman ( 政治家 ) and inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, a famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!( )1.

Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.1. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it2. The underlined word “luminous” means_______.A. visibleB. all colorsC. giving off lightD. sunlight3. Light traces about _________ kilometers per second.A. 380 000B. 300 000C. 400 000D. 190 0004. Which of the following is true?A. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.C. All the things you can see give off light.D. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. You can see and read a book because you open your eyes.B. Some objects are luminous, some not.C. You can see things because of light.D. Light travels very fast so you cannot notice it.参考答案BCBA C。

He tried many times but every time the water leaked(漏掉) from the basket.An hour later, the son came back with the empty basket and told his father it was impossible to hold wate r with the basket. The father said with a smile, “Yes, you are right, my son. The basket can t hold water. But did you notice the basket was different？” The son found the dirty basket had become clean.

It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children.Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playingoutside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according tothe research?A. 30 minutes.B. 60 minutes.C. 90 minutes.D. 120 minutes.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children becausethey have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hoursa day playing outside.D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.3. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.参考答案1. D 2. C 3. BB（2019中考保健与健康类选练）How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an average ( 平均) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a day. Most people have a night when they cannot sleep. About one in three(1/3) Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia.This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, a famous statesman ( 政治家) and inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, a famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!( )1.

People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturallysuited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a largeharbour* at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grewgradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over along period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896,Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness*. But gold was discovered there in1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche* once closed the path,killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities* like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.29. People settle in New York City because ________.A. its position is convenientB. its weather is comfortableC. it has the business cultureD. it has a small population30. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two thirds of them stayed there.B. Half of the people died.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. One fifth people got rich.31. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They were unable to stand the winter there.B. They didn’t have enough food and clothing.C. They found the city too crowded everywhere.D. They wanted to try their luck in other places.32. What is the text mainly about?A. Tourism in Dawson.B. The rise and fall of a city.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. The gold rush in Canada.Passage 3 [2019温州六校联谊二模]Cats love mirrors —they often either look at them curiously or try to touch“the othercat”with their fluffy paws*．But do they actually recognize themselves in the mirror?And how can we learn the answer when we have no way of knowing what animals arethinking. Back in 1970, Gordon Gallup, a scientist from the State University of NewYork, developed a test called the“mirror self-awareness test”, according to ScienceDaily. His te am of researchers painted a red dot* on the animal’s forehead*-which the animal could only see by looking into the mirror-and watched its reaction to the dot．In the test, some cats ignored their reflections* and just went away. Some attempted to look behind the mirror. Some even acted aggressively* toward the mirror. All of these behaviors show that cats think of their reflections as separate cats instead of as themselves.However, when chimpanzees saw the dots on their foreheads in the mirror, they first attempted to make direct contact with the reflections, then looked behind the mirror and finally touched their own fore-heads. This means the chimps realize that the dots are on their own bodies. That suggests self-awareness.It's just like when you look into the mirror and see something on your face-you touch your own face to brush it off instead of reaching for the image in the mirror.Very few animals pass this test and cats certainly don’t. Besides chimpanzees, other animals that seem to have a sense of self include gorillas, dolphins and elephants. However, the mirror test has received plenty of criticism*．People say that although it proves that certain animals are self-aware, it can't be used to prove that other animals are not. They say that it's unfair to the animals that rely* more on senses other than sight, such as cats and dogs.It's also possible that by not touching the spot, the cat is simply showing that it doesn’t care about cleaning it.33. What’s the purpose of the test that was developed by Gordon Gallup in 1970?A. To find out why cats love playing with mirrors.B. To test whether animals have self-awareness.C. To test the intelligence of different animals.D. To find the differences between cats and other animals.34. What happened to the animals in this test according to the passage?A. Cats didn't see the red dot in their reflections.B. Cats tried to clean the red dot in their reflections.C. Chimpanzees acted badly toward their reflections.D. Chimpanzees touched the dot on their forehead.35. The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ____________.A. fail to noticeB. refuse to reviewC. angry to knowD. happy to see36. People have different ideas about the mirror test because they think ____________.A. the result of the test is too generalB. the test was not designed properlyC. it can't be used for further researchD. it doesn’t have practical valuePassage 4[2019温州六校联谊二模]I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground.A few minutes earlier I had been in bed when a scream woke me up. My grandma's bedroom was just next to mine and my brothers’. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her, my older brother had jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. The house however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything the fire consumed* it. We all barely made it outside before the flames had taken hold of every room.I stood there shivering* while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things.As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my older brother running across the swinging bridge by our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on crutches from an earlier accident standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was essential* had survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would survive without the “stuff” that was burning. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.I still think of that fire in the night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly essential in this life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we possess*.Live your life then for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place. Let your soul shine bright.37. What was the writer thinking about when he saw everything burned to the ground?A. He was wondering how the fire got started.B. He felt lucky for being able to get out of the fire.C. He was worried about how to live with no things.D. He was mad about losing his clothes and toys.38. What did the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4?A. That the terrible fire did a lot of damage to the family's things that night.B. That being alive and having a close family are what matter the most.C. That his whole family was very frightened by the terrible fire at night.D That people should stay calm when there is a fire happening suddenly.39. What does the “the fire inside of you” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The love of life.B. The fear of fire.C A life-lesson he learned. D. Anger toward the fire.40.

Possible answer: Firstly, the writer realized the family members were alive.

2019年中考英语阅读理解冲刺练习4篇(名师精选全国真题+详细解析答案，值得下载打印练习)【能力选练】 A（2019中考训练题）People often think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的) wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.1．This passage is probably from ___________.A．a book review B．a science bookC．a school report D．a computer magazine2．According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago ?A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.3．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?A．气候恶劣的B．充满危险的C．困难重重的D．无人居住的4．The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is _____________.A．that the temperature suddenly drops B．that the water under the ice is frozen C．that the ocean water under the ice moves D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice5．What does this passage mainly talk about?A．The thick ice in the North Pole.B．A difficult trip to the North Pole.C．The real situation in the North Pole.D．The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普文，介绍了北极点的有关情况。
