备战中考英语阅读理解专项突破-体裁篇之议论文(含答案)
备战中考英语阅读理解专项突破体裁篇之议论文Passage 1“Life’s a long, long journey,” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some ideas of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.Try to set goals in some of the following categories (类别):Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school? Are you still growing and learning?Family—What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members?Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?To help make the process more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.Remember, your goals can be changed as time goes on. But be sure your goals are the things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.1．According to the passage, why should we set goals?A．To have a better future.B．To enjoy pleasure in life.C．To know where to have a journey.D．To give our life a sense of direction.2．What should you consider when you set a family goal?A．The education you want to get. B．The job to support your family. C．The time you’ll spend reaching your goal.D．The relationship with family members. 3．What’s the best advice to achieve the main goal?A．Dividing your goals into smaller tasks.B．Creating a daily To-Do List of things.C．Building the self-confidence.D．Setting the time to achieve the main goal.4．What can we learn from the passage?A．Once you set your goals, they can’t be changed.B．Not all the people can get success by setting goals.C．Enjoying success in one goal can help you do better in the next one.D．Your goals are the things you and your parents, families or teachers want.5．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．A long journey. B．Goal setting for life.C．The direction of life. D．Ways to achieve goals.Passage 2Nature and culture are often seen as opposite ideas. What belongs to nature cannot be the result of human activities and on the other hand, cultural development is achieved against nature. However, this is not the only opinion on the relationship between nature and culture. Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture, whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort, is part of the development of the human species(物种).Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle(斗争) against human nature. We are born with wild natures, such as eating and behaving in a disorganized way or acting selfishly. Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures; it is thanks to culture that the human species could learn to adapt(适应) , progress and raise itself above and beyond other species.Over the past century and a half, however, studies in the history of human development have shown that the formation of culture is part of the biological adaptation. Consider, for example, hunting(打猎) . It seems to be an adaptation, which allowed humans to move into new and different areas, opening up the opportunity to change living habits. At the same time, the development of weapons(武器) is related to that adaptation-from rocks and stones to a set of hunting tools, and from hunting tools to rules relating to the proper use of weapons. Hunting also seems to be responsible for a whole set of bodily abilities, such as balancing on one foot. Just think of how this very simple thing is closely related to dance, a key expression of human culture. It is then clear that biological development and cultural development are closely tied.The transmission of culture seems to be directly related to what’s in our blood. Just as snails carry their shells, so do we bring along our culture. However, culture is also passed on among people of the same time or among people belonging to different populations. We can learn how to make jiaozi even if we were born from Russian parents in Paris just as we can learn how to speak English even if none of our family or friends speak that language.6．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Culture belongs to human nature.B．Nature teaches humans how to adapt.C．Humans are supposed to be well organized.D．Education pushes the human species to progress.7．Why does the writer talk about hunting in Paragraph 3?A．To suggest some possible ways of changing living habits.B．To stress the importance of tools in humans’ struggle for life.C．To show how culture develops as humans adapt to the environment.D．To explain why there is a need to call for the proper use of weapons.8．The word “transmission” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A．system B．spread C．start D．spirit9．What is the writer’s opinion on the nature-culture relationship?A．Culture and nature are separate yet balanced.B．Culture depends much on nature to progress.C．Nature and culture are different but connected.D．Nature follows the unwritten rules set by culture.Passage 3From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that?In some parents’ eyes, school grades matter most for their kids. In reality, th ere are many things to consider besides the school subjects, for example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough ifyou want to have a great life.Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school. They seize (抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define (界定) a person’s success by just one section (部分) of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at sc hool, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents (天赋). That’s how you can live a happy and successful life.10．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragrap h (段落) One?A．To introduce a topic. B．To give examples. C．To provide a solution.11．In some parents’ eyes, what’s the most important for their kids based on Paragraph Two?A．Being happy. B．Staying healthy. C．Getting good grades.12．What does the underlined expression “big shots” in the third paragraph mean?A．好学生B．神枪手C．大人物13．According to the passage, which sentence may agree with the writer’s idea?A．It takes money to be successful.B．School grades aren’t everything.C．Successful people never finish school.14．What can we infer (推断) from the text?A．Old habits die hard.B．Learning is a lifelong journey.C．Good grades always promise a successful life.Passage 4Look at the Earth from space. Why does our planet look so blue? It’s blue because waterc overs almost three quarters of the Earth’s surface. Water is not just an important part of our planet. It is an important part of our body, too. More than half of our total body weight is water.Our body loses water whenever we exercise or go to the toile t. That’s why we need to drink plenty of water every day. We drink water. We use it to cook, clean, and carry waste out of our homes. Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops like rice and corn; factories use it to make products.Since the 1950s, the amount（数量）of water people use has increased by three times. But the water supply（供应）hasn’t. Scientists worry that soon there won’t be enough water for us, as well as for the animals and plants that share our world. What can we do to help? Use water wisely.Having enough water isn’t our only problem. We also need it clean.Right now, ships and factories are putting wastes into seas, rivers and so on. Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes. All this pollution can make the water dangerous to drink. It can also harm fish and other water-living lives.We must do something to stop pollution. It’s the best way to protect our world’s most valuable natural resource（资源）.15．How many important areas of water are mentioned in Paragraph 1?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.16．The underlined sentence “We also need it clean” in Paragraph 4 means” ________.”A．We also need water to wash things B．We also need water that looks cleanC．We also need to keep water clean D．We also need to discover clean water 17．This passage was written to ________.A．ask people to value water B．advise people to drink more water C．introduce the uses of water D．describe the situation of water supplyPassage 5With the Year of the Rat coming up, I remember going out for Chinese food when I was a kid in the US. In Chinese restaurants, there are always plates with pictures of the zodiac animals (十二生肖). For most people in the US, this might be the deepest impression of Chinese culture. One time, we started to laugh after we learned that my aunt is a rat.We laughed because in our culture, rats are animals of very low position. They eat rubbish and cary diseases, so we think they are dirty. Because rats are sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟的), we think of them as untrustworthy. Calling semeone a rat is very rude. It means we cannot trust him or her easily, or we will be cheated.As a kid, this caused me to feel bad for people born in the Year of the Rat. I wondered whether they would be looked down upon by others. I did some research and found that although Chinese people also see rats as dirty animals, they added them to the zodiac for some reasons.Rats are thought to be animals that can bring people wealth. They are also able to give birth to lots of babies, which makes them a symbol of good luck—traditionally, Chinese people prefer to have large families with many children. Rats are believed to have intelligence as well. It is believed that sneaky animals must be clever.So now, I’m entering the new year with a fresh way of looking at rats. Perha ps I need to find a new understanding for other things—-animals, ideas or even people!18．The writer gave ________ reasons to explain why Chinese people add rats to the zodiac. A．two B．three C．four D．five19．From the passage, we know that ________.A．rats are animals of very low position in Chinese cultureB．Chinese children born in the Year of the Rat are looked down uponC．rats are only seen as dirty animals in Chinese cultureD．Chinese people believe rats are sneaky but clever animals20．According to the passage, Phrase ________ can describe someone called a rat in US. A．油嘴滑舌B．伶俐乖巧C．背信弃义D．言出必行21．The writer mainly talks about ________.A．why American people don’t like rats B．what Chinese people think of ratsC．how people see rats in different cultures D．who can find a new understanding for ratsPassage 6Skirts and dresses have been symbols of women for ages. But things are different now.Yao Qing, 23, shows the change. She gave up her skirts and cut her hair shorter. Then she started to wear shirts, trousers or clothes in black, white or gray.“I felt more myself that way,” Yao said. Although she remains a “sweet and nice lady” for years, she has been actually fond of outdoor sports like skateboarding and skiing since childhood. “Women are free to show our true personality,” she added, “and skirts and high-heeled shoes are less convenient in daily life.”Another change lies in women’s awareness (意识) of their independence. 34-year-old Xuan Yanmin, for example, tried on her husband’s clothes and put h er photos online. Many people said she looked handsome and cool. Some even wanted to have a try, too. Then she started a discussion “How handsome girls can be in menswear”, which got over 70 million views and 15, 000 comments.“Society is more open now. And our independence is expressed in the new way we dress,” said Xuan.However, stylist Shang Tao suggested that ________. “It’s more important to find the way which suits yourself better. The key is to think about your own advantages and disadvantages and t he environment around you, and choose clothes that can help you feel more confident,” he said.22．”Another change” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A．men getting more attention than beforeB．more ladies showing interest in menswearC．ladies cutting their hair shorter than menD．more ladies preferring working at home23．Which of the following can be put in the ________?A．ladies should give up skirts as soon as possibleB．ladies should think about changing their hairstyleC．ladies should think twice before following this styleD．the society should be more open than before24．This passage is written to ________.A．show women have different ideas about sportsB．show growing independence through dressing styleC．compare men with women in different kinds of clothesD．ask girls not to buy dresses and skirts any more25．The passage is written in a/an ________ tone(语气).A．angrуB．sad C．crazy D．seriousPassage 7Born in the 2000s, what do you think of your generation (一代人)? Young, creative, connected, global, smart, maybe good-looking? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the phone than the world around you. They see you as the “face-down generation” and wonder how you will deal with school, fr iends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (自拍) to become successful in real life—or “IRL”, as you would say?Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoiled and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many chil dren born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to do everything for them. So today’s young people seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem tobe willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to serve their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.So if you are one of them born in the 2000s, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation.26．The writer led the readers to the passage _________.A．by showing his ideasB．by asking questionsC．by describing the situation27．Young people born in the 2000s are called “face-down generation” because ________. A．they are always busy with homework with their heads downB．they are not closely connected to the people around thenC．they show great interest in the phone and use it too much28．The underlined word “spoiled” probably means ________ in Chinese.A．宠坏的B．胆小的C．吝啬的29．In the writer’s eyes, today’s teenagers ________.A．are not creative because of the educational problemB．are willing to take part in many social activitiesC．are smarter and more good-looking than their parents30．The main idea of the passage is that ________.A．mobile phones are harmful to teenagers’ growth and developmentB．teenagers don’t need to change themselves to meet adults’ standardsC．although the young people have some problems, their future is full of hopePassage 8In February, the Ministry of Education announced that mobile phones should, in principle (原则上), be banned (禁止) in primary and secondary schools. This aims to protect students’ eyesight, make sure they pay more attention to their work and prevent them from becoming so interested in the Internet and online games. But some kids have their own opinions.Xu Xiaohe, a 13-year-old boy from Zhejiang, supports the policy (政策). “In fact, my school has never allowed us to bring our mobile phones,” Xu said. “It’s a distraction from our work. Even adults can’t control themselves, let alone kids like us.”Li Zihan, 13, from Beijing, however, feels differently. “We have grown up with mobile phones. We should be taught self-management skills, as well as learn how to use our phones wisely to help with our studies,” Li said. “This might be the best way to deal with technology in modern times.”For Ge Ziqi, the problem with banning phones has more to do with life outside of school. The 13-year-old Beijinger uses a bike-sharing app every day to travel between her home and school. “Today, phones are used everywhere, from taking a bus to buying food,” she said. “If I can’t take my phone with me, I’ll have to buy my own bicycle.”31．Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the mobile phone ban at school?A．To protect students’ eyesight.B．To encourage students to pay more attention to study.C．To improve students’ self-management.D．To stop students from becoming so interested online games.32．What does the underlined word “distraction” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．干扰B．考验C．分离D．促进33．According to the passage, Li Zihan might agree that ________.A．a mobile phone ban is the best way to deal with technology in modern timesB．a mobile phone mustn’t be brought to schoolC．a mobile phone ban has more to do with life outside of schoolD．kids should be taught self-management skills to use mobile phones34．Where is the passage probably from?A．An e-mail. B．A fairy tale.C．A travel guide. D．A teenage newspaper.35．What’s the main idea of t he passage?A．How to use mobile phones wisely. B．Views on the mobile phone ban.C．Ideas on how to deal with technology. D．How to use our free time.Passage 9Museums, live music and malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. B ut there are many people who don’t have time to enjoy these things. They follow what is called the “996” work schedule—starting work at 9 a.m. and finishing at 9 p.m., six days a week.The “996” work schedule recently became a heated topic of discussion on line after a computer programmer set up a website called “996ICU”. According to the website, the “996” work schedule is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit （ICU）. This work schedule is common at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei. Most “996” workers do not receive overtime（加班）pay.Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. “I worked ‘996’ for nine months,” Zhang said, who used to work as a programmer. “I couldn’t sleep because of thep ressure. So, I gave up the job at last.” However, the bosses of some tech companies think the “996” work schedule is reasonable. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it’s a “huge blessing（福气）” for young workers to work “996”.“If you don’t do ‘996’ when you’re young, when will you?” Ma said. “If you don’t put in more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want?” Many people have questioned Ma’s thinking. In an article in People’s Daily, the writer said, “Valuing hard work does not me an it’s right to force workers to work overtime.”Cui Zhendong, a lawyer, told China Daily that it is against the law to use a compulsory （强制的）“996” work schedule. China’s Labor Law《劳动法》clearly states that workers should workno more than eight hours a day or no more than 44 hours a week.36．The “996” work schedule requires a person to work ________.A．9 hours a day B．18 hours a day C．54 hours a week D．72 hours a week 37．Why do many workers complain about this schedule?A．Because they have no time to go to the hospital.B．Because their health has been influenced.C．Because they don’t get enough pay.D．Because they can’t work well.38．According to the report of People’s Daily, bosses ________.A．worked “996” to achieve their successB．should support the “996” work scheduleC．understand the value of hard work better than workersD．shouldn’t force workers to work overtime39．What do we know from the passage?A．“996ICU” was set up to help workers get overtime pay.B．It is against the law to force workers to work “996”.C．It’s necessary for young workers to work “996”.D．Working “996” is an unusual problem in China.Passage 10If you are a kid who enjoys playing video games, you must have argued with your parents at least once about the impact (影响) of gaming. Your parents might say that video games are bad for you. They may worsen your eyes, lower your academic performance, and could lead to health problems. As a kid, you probably argue that video games allow you to socialize with your friends, improve your coordination (协调) and memory, and even give you a way to make money throughstreaming platforms. Could you both be right?One study of game players showed that 35 percent of high school and college students have missed school or work because of games. Some other studies have shown that playing video games leads to poor concentration (注意力) in school or at work. In my seventh—grade science fair study, elementary and high school kids playing games had lower test accuracy slower reflexes (条件反射), less pain awareness (意识), and lower response times to threatening (造成威胁的) sounds during and after having played video games.On the other hand, a study conducted by Cheryl Olson interviewed 1,000 public school students and found that video games can help kids develop problem—solving skills, make friends, show leadership, and spark creativity. They can also be highly educational, because some games involve problem—solving skills or teach things like history, geography, or culture.So, I bet you're wondering… should I play video games or not? Who is right?I think kids and parents can both win this argument. How? Most of the negative impacts of video games happen when kids play for too long, so play moderately. Here's how to do that.First, talk with your parents and take breaks from your gaming to help around the house or to get some fresh air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, if you wear a headset to play, take it off every few minutes or leave one ear free so you can hear your surroundings. Fourth, there are also many games that get you up out of your seat. Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents, and you just might surprise them with how enjoyable they are. They may end up having more fun than you!What do you think? Are the good things about video games enough to outweigh the bad?40．What's the main idea of paragraph 1?A．The reasons why playing games is bad for kids.B．Parents and kids hold different opinions towards video games.C．Playing games can cause arguments between parents and their children.D．A story about kids arguing with their parents about playing video games.41．Cheryl Olson's study is mentioned to _______.A．express the author's attitude towards playing video gamesB．present most public school students like playing video gamesC．show the positive impact playing video games can haveD．share the findings of the latest research about video games42．According to the text, what are the disadvantages video games bring to kids?①They may cause harm to kids' eyesight.②They may make kids difficult to focus on study.③They may damage kids' coordination and memory.④They may put kids in danger because of less response time.A．①②③B．①②④C．①③④D．①②③④43．The author is most likely to support ___________.A．playing educational games without breaksB．always wearing a headset when playing gamesC．remaining seated the whole time while playingD．playing active games which parents can take part in44．What would be the best title for the text?A．Is playing video games good or bad?B．How to choose the best video games?C．Why does playing games impact kids, health?D．Are the good things enough to outweigh the bad?参考答案【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B【分析】生活是一段漫长的旅程，设定目标可以给我们的生活一个方向感。

初三九年级中考英语阅读理解专项练习题及答案解析1.阅读理解Once upon a time, there was a king who loved to play chess. He invited the best chess player in the kingdom to play a game with him. The winner would get a great reward.The chess game lasted for several hours. In the end, the king won. He said, “You have lost the game, but I will still give you a reward. Ask for whatever you want.”The chess player replied, “Your Majesty, I ask for just one grain(just o ne small piece) of rice for the first square of the chessboard. For the second square, I ask for two grains. For the third, four grains, and so on, doubling the number of grains for each square on the board.”The king laughed and said, “Is that all you wa nt? Such a small reward? Of course, I will give you that!”The king ordered his servants to bring the rice.
