阅读理解（一）（2020年荆州中考）APeople in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its publictransportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying toget people out of their cars and on bikes.Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for theirspeed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car.“It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other sidebecause someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to worktogether, which they call a "bike train".

Girlstalking. Boys trying to kill each other.I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl cameover and sat on top of my desk.“What're you doing?” she said.“Writing to 100,” I replied.“Is that you can do?”“No,” I said.Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the deskwould fall over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to schoolor church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in ourhometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death sevenyears ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. Butreally, children's needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—the gift of friendship.For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to besmart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for “Friendship”.Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder!

I was only 8 years old and my youngerbrother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along therailroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed,we picked up the fallen coal.One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging aroundin the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us, “Why are you boy digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?” he laughed.“No, sir,” I replied, “We are finding coal.”“Why doesn't your daddy buy coal? It's really dangerous here.”“Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,” I answered.The fireman turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. “Hey! Bring that coa bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.” Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal.We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. “You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal.”Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money.I never knew the person's full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.9.

Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs,we should pay kids for everyday housework.But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. SusieWalton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn'tworth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort, home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to seeWalton said. “Ａthat we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home tolook, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it alsoteaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money.

It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, theMing and Qing Dynasties.The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color ofthe palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. Itwas so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquetthat it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures init.I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The ForbiddenCity.

Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的)Build-A-Bears,the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteerteam to make a difference through the year.“I love making relationships with the people I serve,” Fredette said. “The thanks they hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool.”Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing aself-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to helpout in her hometown.

It can be inferred（推断）that Fredette .A. likes telling people storiesB. dreams of being a teacherC. is pleased with what she doesD. plans to leave California for college7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Giving back to societyB. Getting on well with othersC. Providing a food bankD. Improving community collegesCMore Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public, allowing people to enjoyreading during normal time and the vacations.But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yat-sen University, this practice hascaused headaches. “Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing thanreading,” said Wang.“They sometimes even bring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place ofinterest.”Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a commonproblem for university libraries in China.However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open tomembers of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because ofvisitors' rude behavior.Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to thepublic. “I have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cellphone so you can hardly read,” Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feelstheir concentration（专注）has influenced her. “If too many strangers stay here, the whole librarywill be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly,” she said.Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider thatuniversity libraries can prevent the public from entering certain areas. “We might keep mag for academic research only for teachers and students,” said Zhu Lina, library director in Jinan University.Working together with the community library is another solution. “It's possible that a membe of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet,” Ge Jianxiong, the library directo in Fudan University said. “We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home.”8. We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .A. hates to study in the libraryB. prefers sightseeing to readingC. feels good to play with kidsD. is a university student aged 219. In Chen Jie's opinion, visitors to university libraries may .A. take up too much spaceB. break the peace thereC. make teachers relaxedD. get students to read more10.

Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. A library guide.C. A story book.D. A notice board.DHave you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-drivendriverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have beendesigning and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects inthe road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）areused so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address!Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors andcameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and evenwatching a film or reading a book while ‘driving' would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition,computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficultiesmaking ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hitthe child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally finddriving fun –I'd miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to bemade –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or wouldthere need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car – but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.12. When using a driverless car, you need only .A. read the road signs carefullyB. check the camerasC. put the address into the computerD. remember the directions13. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.A. instructionsB. standardsC. advantagesD. tests“．14. The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “　A. possiblyB. successfullyC. especiallyD. naturally15. What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?A. They'll cause more accidents.B. They'll be less expensive.C. They'll use less energy.D. They'll run much faster.（四）（2020年枣庄中考）ALast year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world.

It spread from Rome to China, which isfrom the West to the Far East.Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course.

The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路线）are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses.

Where can you probably see this message?A. On a Chinese mapB. In an English dictionaryC. In a storybookD. On the Internet(C)You want to know about my staying in America? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know textbook English could be so different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.When I first studied English, I was told to say “I’m fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the USA, I found that people say “I’m good.” or “I’m tired.”One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.Since then, I have learnt more and more differences between Chinese and American cultures.To my surprise, American girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun getting a tan (晒黑的肤色). In China, girls try every possible way to keep their skin white.I was also surprised by how hardworking American students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student not only gets good grades, but also does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.The kids here are so talented. I’m starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.11.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. American girls love to have white skinB. The writer is now in US.C. US students are talented and hard workingD. The writer regrets he gave up playing the piano.15. Which is the best title for the passage?A. My own travel in the USB. My friends in the USC. My opinion about the USD. My studying in the Us(D)There are certain summer dangers to your health. Followings are three common ones.Let’s start with air-conditioner(空调). Nowadays, many people think that air conditioner is the best way to prevent summer heat. They use millions of modern air conditioners to keep their house, offices and cars cool in summer. Unluckily, this nice choice is not good for everyone. For example, my throatmay get hurt with cool air. In fact, many people are suffering from the same problem as well.Second, when the temperatures get up, we tend to spend more time in the water, swimming and diving. Lots of people go the seaside, swimming pools or lakes to make their vacations pleasant. Unluckily, thousands of people die from drowning(溺水)every year. It happens because we often forget to follow water safety rules. So never go swimming or diving alone, especially in a strange place. Try to swim with at least a friend. He’ll give you a helping hand in case of need. Keep in mind that swimming pools aren’t less dangerous than lakes or seas.Third, have you ever heard something about dehydration? Dehydration is a health condition. It’s about a serious body’s lack of water. This trouble usually happens in summer due to hot weather. Water is important to your body all year long. So make sure you drink 8 glasses of water a day.16. The writer doesn’t think of air conditioner as a nice choice because ______.A. it doesn’t make his throat feel good.B. it costs so much money to support it.C. it’s good to live in a natural living condition.D. it’s important for us to fight heat by ourselves.17. Which rule DON’T we need to follow when we go swimming?A. Don’t go swimming by yourself.B. Don’t go to a strange place to swim.C. Don’t swim with your friends.D. Don’t believe that swimming pools are less dangerous.18. What does the underlined word “dehydration”mean in Chinese?A. 干燥B. 脱水C. 发热D. 困乏19. From the passage we can’t know that ______.A. thousands of people die from drowning every year.B. it’s better for you to drink 8 glasses of water a dayC. many people have health problems with hot airD. lots of people spend summer time with water20.

【限时检测】（建议用时：30分钟）A（2019 •黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市）There are many holidays and f estivals. Dads have Father’s Day Mums have Mother’s Day But do ourgrandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do!The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room,everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休) they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts (打折) in stores and restaurants.Bu t Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.阅读短文，回答下列问题。

Americans love to drive on their holidays. Usually, the family gets into a car or recreational vehicle(RV，旅行房车) and drives for a summertime trip across the country.RVs are like our houses. There are kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms in RVs. They are big, but can be very small when you share a bed with your little brother or try to play a game.But RV travel is a great time with the family. You can see the country in your own "home". You can spend every night in a different place. And, you don't have to pay for hotels or restaurants, only gas(汽油). Best of all, you are free to go everywhere you want at any time.【解析】【分析】主要讲了美国人的旅行房车。

（1）根据the family gets into a car or recreational vehicle(RV，旅行房车)可知RV的全名是recreational vehicle，故填recreational vehicle。

任务型阅读（一）（2017年齐齐哈尔）A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests.Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand.After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can not.”“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Afte r hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.Answer the following questions according to what you read.1.

Theyalways passed each other on the way up and down, but never had time to speak.At last, the rope became worn. So a new rope had to be put in its place. While this was being done, the two buckets were left standing together near the well.“What a boring life we have!”said one bucket to the other. “I am quite tired of it. No matter how full we come up, we are always sent down empty.”But the other bucket laughed and said, “What a funny way you have of looking at things!
