Louis Braille was born in the nineteenth century. When he was three years old, an accident at his father’s workshop left him blind. As a young boy, Louis was hard-working and clever. His teachers suggested that he should go to the National Institute for Blind Youths. ①At that time, this was the only school for the blind in France.At the institute, Louis was eager to learn to read and write. To his great disappointment, the few books he found at the institute used raised (凸起的) letters. This method of reading was difficult for the blind, because they had to feel slowly each letter. ②到他们摸到句子末尾时，他们已经忘记开头是关于什么了。
Louis wanted to develop an easier reading system for the blind. His idea of such a system came from Charles Barbier, a French army officer. Barbier had invented a system called “Night Writing”, which was made up of dots and dashes. Soldiers used this system to communicate with one another during the night. Louis adapted (改编) this system for his own use. He produced a simpler system based on dots. For example, “A” is represented by a single dot. Many blind students found this system much easier to use.This came to be known as the “Braille” system. Today, millions of blind people are able to read, thanks to the work of a young blind man.任务一：将文中划线的句子①翻译成汉语。

She noticed something special about the bus driver. Whenever the passengers(乘客) got on the bus, he would smile at them.However, Vicky also noticed a passenger who never smiled back at the driver. It seemed that he never had any clean clothes. He often made big noises when he coughed. Every time he got on the bus, he made the other passengers give up the seat to him in a loud voice. But the driver still smiled at the passenger. Instead, the “noisy” man seemed to never see the smile.This got Vicky more interested. Once, she asked the driver, “Sir, may I ask a question?

A rich and kind baker(面包师) sent some bread to twenty of the poorest children. He said to them, “In this basket, there is some bread for you. Each of you can have one loaf(一条面包) every day until the hard days end.”The impatient children couldn't wait to gather around the basket. They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman. But Shirley, a poorlydressed little girl, did not join them. Instead, she remained standing modestly in the distance. When the other children left, she took the smallest loaf left in the basket, kissed the gentleman's hand and went home.The next day the children were as rude as before. Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf. When she got home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very surprised and said，“Take the money back to the good gentleman at once, for it must have got into the loaf by accident. Be quick, Shirley! Be quick！”But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's message, he said，“No, no, my child. It was no mistake. I put silver into the smallest loaf to reward you because you are a kind and honest girl.

But recently, a group of researchers found something unusual in amber—a feathered tail!The tail includes bones, soft tissue and even feathers. It is 37 mm long, which is about the length of a matchstick. It looks like a plant at first sight. But researchers later identified(确定) it as part of the tail of a dinosaur that couldn't fly almost 100 million years ago.Xing Lida of Beijing's China University of Geosciences discovered the amber in a market in M yanmar in 20xx.“It is an amazing fossil(化石) and the finest details of feathers can be seen in 3D，” he said.The researchers note in their paper that this finding is particularly special because, although dinosaur feathers have been found in amber before, we don't know which dinosaurs they came from. But this time researchers know more.The tail is likely to belong to a tiny dinosaur called coelurosaur. Famous coelurosaurs include the Trex(霸王龙) and Velociraptor(迅猛龙)—the latter of which would finally evolve_into birds.So with the “once in a lifetime” finding, can we hope for the possibility of a real Jurassic Park (侏罗纪公园)? In the movie series, scientists bring dinosaurs back to life by getting their DNA from blood found in amber.But Canadian scientist Ryan Mckellar said that although soft tissue and blood of the tail were found in the amber, nogenetic material was kept. “The Jurassic Park answer is still a ‘no’—this is in the science fiction，” he said.( )1.What did a group of researchers find in amber recently?A．Ancient plants.B．A tail of some ancient birds that couldn't fly.C．Ancient insects.D．A tail with feathers that belongs to a dinosaur.( )2.What do you know about the amber?a.

It is a valuable fossil.A．ab B．bcC．ac D．bd( )3.What does the underlined phrase “evolve into”in Paragraph 5 mean?C．grow into D．get into( )4.Why is the finding particularly special?A．Because it is the first time that dinosaur feathers have been found in amber.B．Because researchers know which dinosaur the tail might belong to.C．Because researchers learned that Velociraptors evolved into birds.D．Because researchers learned that there were two types of coelurosaurs.( )5.The movie Jurassic Park is mentioned to ________．A．talk about the use of DNA in this areaB．call on people to watch itD．talk about science fiction[母亲节故事＋世界名牌大学＋科技创新]【20xx最新】精选【新版】2020【新版】2020中考英语题型集训二阅读理解It was the morning of Mother's Day when I was in Grade Seven. When my father phoned his parents and wished his mother a happy Mother's Day, I hugged my mother. My mother smiled and replied to me “thanks”. But both my father and I knew she was a little unhappy because my mother's mother left us about seven years ago.At about 10：30 that day, my father said, “Let's go outside of the city. There is a small hill. We can breathe the fresh air and pick some flowers on the hill.” So we went, driving down the country roads.At a quarter past twelve, we had our lunch in a small restaurant at the foot of the hill. Then we climbed the hill. We saw a lot of flowers there. The flowers were beautiful though we didn't even know their names. My mother ran quickly to enjoy the flowers. Carefully, she picked a few here and a few there. On our way home there was a big smile on her face.When we were passing a nursing home, my mother saw an old granny sitting in a chair. She had no children with her. My father stopped the car and my mother walked to the old woman. She put the flowers in the granny's hands, and smiled at her. The old granny thanked her again and again.With a happy smile, my mother came back to us. I asked her, “Who is that old granny? You haven't told me anything about her before.”“I don't know her，” my mother said. “It's Mother's Day.

She finished school with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2，110 on the SAT.“There were times when I felt like it would be easiest if I gave up，” the 18yearold said. “But it was never in me to give up, because I realized that I was never going to b e successful unless I got an education.”Even before Dawn's family left her, she led a difficult life.

If so, then you could be a super recognizer.Usually it is easy for someone to recognize the faces of their family members and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they have only seen once. However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 per cent of faces they have ever seen. According to the Daily Mail, at least one in 50 people are super recognizers.A study was carried out in Bournemouth University of UK recently. Researchers tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces. They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person's nose. They also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability is restricted (有限的) only to face recognition.Another important finding is that there are two subtypes (子类型) of super recognition. Some never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people. In fact, many super recognizers say they are very good at recognizing faces in a crowd.These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizerscould also help police find known troublemakers and even missing people in the crowd.( )1.The super recognizers can remember ________ of the faces they've ever seen.A．allB．at least 80 per centC．at least 50 per centD．half( )2.What did the university's study find about super recognizers?A．They spend the same time on one's eyes and nose.B．They pay more attention to a person's nose.C．They are a lot smarter than other people.D．They are also very good at voice recognition.( )3.What are the two subtypes of super recognition?a.

题型二阅读理解（任务型阅读）1-10Passage 1（2018．河北）Artificial intelligence( AI)（人工智能）is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries,AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling（装配）cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self- driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems（系统）and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced（取代）by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.1、2题完成句子；3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下第二段的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

中考阅读理解专项训练二AThe Temple of Heaven, in southern Beijing, was first built in 1420 and was rebuilt during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was the placewhere the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties would admire thegod and hope for good harvest(收获). It is the largest group of buildingsin the world to pay homage(致敬)to god.The Potala Palace was built in the seventh century and it has a long history of over 1300 years. In 641, Songtsan Gambo, the ruler of theTubo kingdom, asked his people to build it for princess Wencheng of theTang Dynasty. It has 13 floors and is 117 meters high. And it is made ofwood and stone.The Terracotta Warriors and Horses (兵马俑) is the greatest historical and cultural site (遗址) in Lintong, Xi'an, Shanxi Province.Emperor Qin Shi Huang began to build it at the age of 13. It took 11years. The terracotta figures(秦俑) have the same size as a real man.They have different heights, clothes and hairstyles because of theirdifferent levels.The Mogao Caves (莫高窟) is formed by 492 temples, 25 kilometers southeast of the center of Dunhuang. It is also called theCaves of a Thousand Buddhas (千佛洞). The largest statue(雕像)infront of the cave wall is 34.5 meters high and the smallest is only 2cmhigh. The art of Dunhuang covers more than 10 major forms, such aswall paintings, music and dance and so on.)1.The Temple of Heaven was first built.A. in 492B. in 641C. in 1311D. in 1420()2.Songtsan Gambo built the Potala Palace for .A. the godB. princess WenchengC. his peopleD.

The emperors admired the people in the Temple of Heaven.BThe Garbage (垃圾) Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场) , the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage, they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly(直接地)in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.()6.The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in .A. 1973B. 1970C. 1948D. 1940()7.To study the modern garbage, the students had to do many things except .A. wearing special clothesB. traveling to landfillsC. burying the garbage themselvesD. opening bags of garbage()8.The underlined words “dispose of” in Paragraph 4 means .A. crash intoB. deal withC. worry aboutD. put up()9.From the article, we know old motor oil .A. should go to regular landfillsB. isn't harmful garbageC. mustn't be poured on the groundD. never pollutes the environment()10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes.B. Scientists thought about 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly.C. The students found empty bottles of cola were not as many as they expected.D. Batteries often break open when they are buried directly in a landfill.C配对阅读左栏是五种常见的破坏环境和浪费资源的行为，右栏是七种建议，并将答案写在题前括号内。

Well, something bad had happened.Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said,"You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up. （4） ? We could use a sponge(海绵) or a towel.

Why not do it by yourself（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）Passage 28Language is always changing and developing. This isn't a bad thing.If English hadn't changedfor a long time, we won't have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平)and so on.How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people's. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names.Languages that don't change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.1. What does the writer think of the change and development of language?He thinks it is .2. Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?Because their and education levels are different.3. How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?The writer mentions ______reasons.4. How do young people help develop language?They do it when they ____________ others of their own age.5. What is considered a dead language according to the passage?The one that ____________ over time is considered a dead language.Passage 29( 2017 .鄂州 )In 1901, an Austrian scientist discovered that there are four types of blood.He named them A.B.AB and O. People have one of these four types. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the second most common, and blood type AB is the least common.In 1927, a Japanese doctor found that people with different blood types have different personalities (性格) ,too. He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and serious; people with type B blood are cheerful and outgoing; people with type O blood are generous and honest; while those with type AB blood are often caring and talented.More recently, a doctor in the United States wrote a book that connects blood types with what people eat. The book suggests people with type o blood should eat more meat and less bread.A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables. His book, Eat Right for Your Type, has been a hit with people who want to lose weight. However, Dr. Peter D' Adamo believes that eating food that matches a person's blood type will make the person healthier in other ways, too. （4题三词，其余各题均两词）1.________2._______3._______4._______5._______Passage 211．Yes, he did.2.
