2021届中考英语阅读理解强化训练（五）文化类（一）How do you spend your spare time? There will be different answers to it. Most people in Poland have their own ways of spending free time. Sometimes they just want to have a rest, but they try to do something more pleasant most of the time. They have many different hobbies, which help them to get away from their everyday problems and spend their free time happily.Many Polish people like travelling. They look for new places that they have never been to and add new and exciting experiences to their journey. Some of them like to climb mountains, others like to go to the sea or a lake to swim, because these can make them get exercise and are good for their health.Many Polish people also like to watch sports in their free time. They are usually crazy about football, and football is regarded as the Polish national sport. Many football fans may support a certain team, so they go to watch every match of the team they support, and they buy many things that have any relation with the team. Watching a sport and doing it are both good ways to relax.In addition, doctors say that doing sports is very good for the health. Many people in town, especially young men, often go to the gym to attend the exercise classes to keep fit.Besides these ways, Polish people have many other ways to spend their free time. And they really enjoy their free time.1.Polish people have many different hobbies in order to __________.A.solve their daily problemsB.finish all their workC.make some friendsD.relax themselves in their spare time2.Why do some Polish people like climbing mountains?A.Because they hate travelling.B.Because they can get exercise from it.C.Because they can find a new place.D.Because it is comfortable and funny.3.Which of the following sports is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Playing football.B.Climbing mountains.C.Skating.D.Swimming.4.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A.Football is many Polish people's favourite sport.B.Young Polish people often go to the gym.C.All the Polish people do sports in their spare time.D.Most Polish people don't like watching sports.5.What can we learn from the passage?A.Polish culture is colourful.B.Polish people have many ways of spending free time.C.A doctor can give you good advice.D.There is no need to do sports or outdoor activities.（二）Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing dynasties.The Forbidden City was completed in 1420. The palace has about 9,000 rooms. It was there that the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.In Mandarin(普通话), the Forbidden City is called "Zijin Cheng". However, the colour of the palace itself is not purple. The colour purple("Zi") stands for the power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.The emperor 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 banquet that 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 into it. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures.I really learnt a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City. It was like a dream coming true to go on the trip and see the things that I had always wanted to see.1.How long is the history of the Forbidden City?A.About 600 years.B.About 9,000 years.C.1,420 years.D.Over 10,000 years.2.We call the palace "Zijin Cheng" because the colour purple is the symbol for the _____ of theemperor.A.powerB.fameC.wealthD.health3.What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "banquet" in Paragraph 4?A.表演B.比赛C.展览D.宴会4.Which of the following is NOT true about the Forbidden City in the passage?A.The emperors lived there.B.The wall of it is purple.C.It is a historical place for visiting.D.The emperor had festival celebrations there.5.In the passage the writer wants to show us _____ of the Forbidden City.A.the beautyB.the treasuresC.the changes in useD.the building process（三）Living in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, "Do you have cold drinks?" The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her. She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage (卷心菜). She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means "no".Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on (取决于) where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".1.These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they _____.A.should go abroad for vacationsB.needed to learn foreign languagesC.should often discuss their experiencesD.had problems with communications2.People in Micronesia show "yes" by _____.A.nodding headsB.raising eyebrowsC.shaking headsD.saying "no"3.Tom misunderstood his class at first because _____.A.he did not know much about Indian cultureB.he didn't explain everything clearly enoughC.some students didn't understand his questionsD.he didn't know where the students came from4.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A.In Bulgaria, nodding heads means "no".B.Jan taught English on a Pacific island.C.Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.D.In India, only shaking heads means "yes".5.The passage is mainly about _____.A. body language in foreign restaurantsB. class discussion in Indian schoolsC. miscommunications in different culturesD. English teaching in other countries（四）1.Many famous people were living in Luxiang _______.A. from 1127 to 1279B. from 1644 to 1912C. from 1127 to 1644D. from 1279 to 19122.Luxiang is famous for _______.A. fruit gardensB. tea treesC. BiluochunD. six lanes3.In order to build his tomb, the King Khufu built _______.A. the ancient pyramidsB. the Egyptain pyramidsC. the Great PyramidD. the mysterious pyramids4.Building the Great Pyramid is still a mystery now, because _______.A. each stone was fixed wellB. there were no modern machines or equipment thenC. it was made of stonesD. it was the tallest building in the world5.Which of the following is TRUE?A. Each side of the Great Pyramid is 230. 4 metres long and 146.5 metres wide.B. Luxiang is far away from Suzhou.C. Luxiang looks more beautiful except spring.D. In the 19th century A. D., the Great Pyramid was special and unusual.（五）People use languages to communicate. Any language has its ways to express people's minds. One of the ways in common is the use of idioms. An idiom is a group of words. It has a special meaning that is different from the usual meaning. For example, under the weather is an idiom meaning ill. So when people say "I'm under the weather." they are saying that they're not feeling well. Another example, in all weathers means in all kinds of weather. So, "There are homeless people sleeping on the streets in all weathers" tells us that homeless people sleep on the streets no matter whether it is cold or hot.Different languages may have different ways to make idioms. For people who are learning a foreign language, idioms could cause misunderstandings and bring them endless headaches. On the other hand things are done right, idioms can also be a fun way of looking into a new culture and understanding how the people think and talk.Metaphor (比喻) is often used in idioms. Let's read the following two examples:● It makes my blood boil(煮沸) then people litter.● The night was dark and quiet; my blood ran cold when I heard a strange noise outside at dark night.In neither situation above, our blood can reach the point so high or so low in temperature. Yet, with the situations the two sentences created, it is not difficult to work out the unhappy feelings of really angry in the first example and very afraid in the second.Of course, not all idioms are this easy to understand. When we come to idioms of a foreign language, a good dictionary of idioms is always suggested.1.This passage tells us something about_______ in the English language.A. grammarB. writingC. readingD. idioms2.If your brother breaks your computer, you can say to him, "_____".A.I'm under the weatherB.I'm there in all weathersC.You've made my blood boilD.My blood runs cold3.What is the writer's advice when you come to an expression like under the weather?A.We should look it up in a good idiom dictionary.B.We should try to express our minds with it.C.We should find an interesting way to learn it.D.We should create situations to guess its meaning.（六）For most people in the West, Valentine's Day (情人节) is celebrated on February 14, but here in Japan it's on March 14—exactly one month after Valentine's Day—called White Day.To really understand what White Day is all about, you have to understand what Valentine's Day in Japan is like. Japanese Valentine's Day is all about men getting presents. Japanese women are usually too shy to show their love, though it might not be true today. Valentine's Day is a great chance to let women show their feelings. Does it sound good to you? Don't get too excited when you get chocolate from Japanese girls! They give chocolate not only lo their loved ones, but also to men such as bosses (老板) and male (男性的) friends. Men should return gifts to women on White Day.On both days, chocolate is the gift of choice. More often, the colour of the chocolate is whitebecause of the name of the day. You can also buy flowers, candies, or cookies.The Japanese first celebrated White Day in 1978. Now it is also celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan, China.1. In Japan, White Day is on ______.A. February 14B. February 15C. March 14D. March 152. What's the most common White Day gift?A. White chocolate.B. Flowers.C. Candies.D. Cookies.3. What can we learn from the passage?A. White Day has a history of 100 years.B. Women can get gifts on White Day.C. People all over the world celebrate White Day.D. On White Day girls only give gifts to their boyfriends.4. What's the best title of the passage?A. The History of Valentine's DayB. Valentine's Day in the USC. How to Celebrate White DayD. White Day in Japan5.
