2020-2021中考英语试卷分类汇编英语任务型阅读理解(附答案)一、英语任务型阅读1．阅读短文，完成表格Have you read any books by Washington Irving？Now I will tell you a story written by him. The name of the story is Rip Van Winkle, and it is also the name of the hero in this story. There are three characters in this story, Rip Van Winkle and his wife, Dame Van Winkle and their dog, Woof. Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued (说话尖酸的、刻薄的) woman. Both Rip Van Winkle and the dog are terrified of her, even of her voice.There is a scene that can describe how Rip Van Winkle and his dog feel in front of Dame Van Winkle:Rip had just one way of replying to his wife's talk: he only put his head back on his shoulders, looked up toward heaven, and said nothing. . . True, in the woods, Woof was as brave as an honorable dog should be， but as soon as Woof entered the house, his head bent low, his tail lay on the ground or curled between his legs. He went around the house with a guilty look, watching Dame Van Winkle out of the corner of his eyes, ready to run from the room at the slightest sign of her displeasure.This was the time when England ruled America. One day, Rip Van Winkle went into the mountain with his dog for an escape of his wife. He drank something given by some strangers and fell asleep. That was 20 years! His wife died and America got freedom from England, and I think that's what the story wants to tell us: both the poor man's independence and nation's independence.Why does Irving's story attract people? Because he wrote so vividly（生动地）. That sets me thinking: How he observed things so carefully? If you read through this story, you can't help smiling or laughing from time to time!（1）；three；Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued woman；both the poor man's independence and nation's independence；Because he wrote so vividly.【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍美国作家华盛顿·欧文的小说《瑞普·凡·温克》的故事情节、人物、主题以及吸引人的原因等。
（1）writer意为作者，在第一句话中Have you read any books by Washington Irving？可以找到。
by表示“被”，其后常常是作者的名字。
所以答案是Washington Irving。
（2）Number of characters人物数量，根据第一段There are three characters in this story, Rip Van Winkle and his wife, Dame Van Winkle and their dog, Woof. 可知小说中有三个人物，即：瑞普·凡·温克；他的妻子Dame和狗 Woof。
故答案为 three。
（3）Main description of Rip's wife对瑞普妻子的主要描写，根据第一段Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued (说话尖酸的、刻薄的) woman. Both Rip Van Winkle and the dog are terrified of her, even of her voice.可知，她是一个泼妇，瑞普和他们的狗都害怕她，甚至害怕她的声音。
所以答案为Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued woman.（4）theme主题，倒数第二段最后一句 what the story wants to tell us是主旨的同意表达，所以冒号后面的：both the poor man's independence and nation's independence就是答案。
（5）Reasons for its beauty（小说）漂亮的原因，根据最后一段首句Why does Irving's story attract people?可以判断attract（吸引）为同意表达，所以后面的Because he wrote so vividly.（因为他写的栩栩如生）是答案。
【点评】阅读表达首先要弄清楚文章的题材，结构，然后根据表格的要求在文中找到关键字，答案一定在关键字周围。
2．阅读下文并回答问题。
In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas."A dispatcher's job is counted in seconds," says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. "We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live."Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.After many years' hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can't tell clearly where he is, but it doesn't matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him."We are trying to be quicker than Death," says Liang.（1）Is Liang Ruimei a dispatcher in Emergency Center of Jinzhong?（2）When did Emergency Center of Jinzhong start?（3）To be quicker than Death, what do the dispatchers in Emergency Center of Jinzhong do? （4）Do you think it necessary for dispatchers to draw maps by hand when they have electronic maps? Why or why not?【答案】（1）Yes, she is.（2）In 2007.（3）They remember every corner of the city through hand-made maps, and dispatch emergency medical workers to the right place as soon as possible.（4）Yes. Because maps by hand show small facts of the city more correctly and electronic maps may not work sometimes.No. Because electronic maps are easier to use and can show the latest road situation.3．阅读下面的短文，然后根据文章内容简要回答小题。

2020-2021中考英语试卷英语阅读理解题分类汇编(含答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone (里程碑) in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e-4 became the first lunar probe (月球探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon.The Earth's gravity (重力) slows the moon's rotation (自转), matching it to the speed of its orbit (公转). Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar (太阳的) winds, the far side may have the special minerals (矿物质). For this reason, Chang'e-4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e-4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future.However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked(阻断) off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite (中继卫星) Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e-4 has been well solved.Power supply (电源供应) is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e-4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length (长度) of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e-4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels.Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e-4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments.The New York Times used the word "groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon".（1）When was Chang'e-4 sent up?A. In May, 2018.B. On December 8, 2018.C. On January 3, 2019.D. The passage doesn't tell us.（2）The main tasks of Chang'e-4 don't include _______________________.A. studying if life is possible on the moonB. studying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surfaceC. solving the communication problem between Earth and other probesD. researching any mineral found by the spacecraft（3）The meaning of the underlined word "groundbreaking" in the last paragraph is the closest to "________________".A. harmfulB. unpredictableC. riskyD. pioneering（4）According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Chang'e-4 has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon.B. A lunar day has the length of 28 Earth days.C. China's relay satellite Queqiao was sent up in order to offer power supply to probes.D. Chang'e-4 is the first lunar probe in history that has successfully landed on the "dark" side of the moon.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章介绍了中国的嫦娥四号月球探测器，为我们讲述了嫦娥四号升空时间，什么时候在月球背面着陆，如何跟地球进行通讯联系等等。

She thought Scrub would never come back. But one day she got a call from an animal shelter(庇护所) and was told they had found Scrub!How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer? How did they know Jennifer's phone number? All the information was available because of the microchip, a very small computer chip(薄片). It was placed under Scrub's skin many years earlier.The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal's shoulder to keep its ID number. Once the chip is in place, the pet does not feel it anymore. When lost pets are brought to animal shelters, people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it, then they'll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet's owner. This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub.Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back. In New York, a dog named Roxy was missing for months. Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey. No one knows how the dog got to a different state. However, thanks to her microchip, Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner.In 2008, a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost, the couple tried everything to find him. They visited animal shelters every day for six months, made posters and even offered a $500 reward(酬金). As years went by, they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter. Without the microchip, the cat would never be able to come home again.Microchips can not only work for a pet's whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they've been away from home. This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home.（1）How did Jennifer find her pet cat?A. By visiting animal shelters.B. By offering a $500 reward.C. With the help of the microchip.D. With the help of a woman in New Jersey.（2）Which statement about microchips is NOT true according to the passage?A. They are very small computer chips.B.

Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.The holiday was filled with activities every day.

2020-2021中考英语试卷英语阅读理解题分类汇编(含答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Many years ago, I was a very shy girl at my school. I couldn't forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly stopped me, “Masha, I know you're shy, but you worked hard on this project. If I give you another chance tomorrow, can you find your courage?I had nodded. I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. When I got home that day, I could see an inviting light from the kitchen windows. Momma was backing. When Momma backed, I always watched and chatted with her. She said it was my company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.Mom ma studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “What's wrong, Masha?” Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out. Momma was silent for a moment. Then she said, “Let me show you something.”I followed Momma to her bedroom and carefully took out a blue ribbon that said “First Place” from it.“I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. I won it for public speaking. It wasn't easy—I was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”That was the second time someone had told me that. I followed Momma back to the kitchen. What was it that made me so afraid? Soon Momma's sweet cake rose in the pans, and the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage. Momma put a thick piece in front of me. “ There's nothing better for heartache than Momma's love baked in a cake.”I raised a forkful of warm cake to my mouth. All the fear in the world could not take away Momma's love. I felt safe in Momma's kitchen. It was warm from the bottom of the heart.The next day I walked to the front of the classroom to give my presentation again.
