It is also called Tian-yan ("The Eye of Heaven"), with a dish the sire of 30 football grounds, deep in the mountains of southwest China's Guizhou Province. The giant dish is built on a howl-like valley.The surrounding area has "radio silence" as there are no towns and cities within a 5-kilometer radius（半径范围）and only one county center within 25 kilometers.FAST is made up of 4,450 panels(面板). The second largest radio telescope is in Russia. The bigger dish will be able to pick up weaker signals (信号).The radio telescope is like an ear, listening to tell meaningful radio messages from white noise in the universe. With the help of the telescope, we can receive weaker and more radio messages far away in space. It will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the Galaxy(银河系) and explore the origins（起源）of the universe. "Any of its discoveries will lead to a Nobel Prize," said Joseph Taylor, a Noble Prize winner.The FAST project began in 2011. And the telescope is expected to remain the global leader for the next 10 to 20 years.11. Where was FAST developedA. In China.B. In Russia.C. In America.12.

Should students wear school uniforms The Young World magazine held a discussion on this topic（话题）.Kennedy: The school uniform is very important, because it alwaysreminds me that I am supposed to go out of my way to study hard. Italso helps prevent school bullying（欺凌）. If everyone wears the sameclothes, it is impossible to laugh at other people’s clothing.Manson:The uniform has to be earned（获得）through efforts.Students should start school with no uniforms. As they make progress atschool, they start wearing it. I always think children need to be proud of their school. The uniform is important for that. So, make students earn it! If they don’t perform well, they should not be allowed to get one.Moorhead:In my opinion, kids don’t have to wear uniforms. There should be more choices open to kids in education. They ought to develop their own independence and just be themselves. Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school. And different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty. Besides, they make the school lively and colorful.Patrick: I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms. They play a very important role in managing schools. However, a school should not depend heavil y on uniforms to improve students’ behaviors. Teaching them how to express themselves with confidence（信心）is more important. 46．What does the writer mean to do in Paragraph 1A．Present an opinion on a subject.

2020年中考英语专题分类卷题型二阅读理解（选择形阅读）16-20 Passage 16With the development of technology, WiFi is becoming more and more popular and important in people's daily life. But have you ever experienced it?Just imagine what life will be like if there is no Internet. Maybe you won't be able to talk with friends, play video games or search for information for your homework on the Internet.But in fact, only one third of the world's population are able to get information on the Internet. The rest are too poor to buy WiFi access(使用权) or they live in remote areas. As a result, they live without the Internet.Google and Facebook, two world-famous technology companies, have decided to do something about it. Google's Project Loon will try to send balloons which are 15 meters wide into our Earth's stratosphere (平流层) in 2016.

It attracts lots of tourists around the world every year.ThailandThailand is in the heafi of Southeast Asia.

People in South Korea's Jeju Island show historical events with ______ .A.teddy bearsB. toy carsC. heroesD. pictures Passage 19In the eyes of many foreigners,Chinese are the best hosts(主人) and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的)in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home,there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, ''Is it OK if I smoke?" But, don't be surprised if they say, "No, you can't smoke. " In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house,try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.( ) 1. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the ______ in the world. A.best B. worst C. most natural D. most different ( )2. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ______ .A.buys some fruitB. feels like a godC. wants some giftsD. takes a cup of tea( )3. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house,what will he probably Say?A.It's OK if you smoke here.B. Let's smoke together.C. Sorry, you can't smoke here.D. Smoking is a bad habit.( ) 4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase "adapt to" in the passage ?A.think back toB. get used toC. look forward toD. keep close toPassage 20A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today's buildings, underwater 'bubble' cities and holidays in space. The report is from a company. It asked experts(专家) on space and architecture, as well as city planners, to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today. The experts used the Internet as an example.They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the prediction (预言) they thought weremost likely(很可能的)to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future, few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work meetings online. People will have highly developed 3-D printers that will let you download(下载)a design for furniture or a food recipe and then' print' the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment. We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people will need to study English.( )1. The writer uses the example of the Internet in Paragraph l to showA. the Internet was often usedB. the Internet has developed fastC. people will not believe the changesD. technology will change people's lives( )2. With the help of highly developed 3-D printers, a way to get a sofa in 2116 is to .A. buy one in a shopB. ask somebody to make oneC. download a design and s 'print' oneD. design and make one by oneself( )3. According to the passage, the missing prediction is .A. how people will workB. where people will get resourcesC. what people will have at home to treat illnessD. whether people will still need to learn English ( )4.The passage is mainly about .A.the life in 2116B. holidays in spaceC. the history of the InternetD. medical treatmentPassage 16B DC BPassage 17A B C DPassage 18B C B APassage 19A B C BPassage 20D C D A。

You can go to ______for hiking.A.the Stone SeaB. the Pine SeaC. the Big ValleyD. the Grass LakePassage 12(2017 .枣庄)We often face the following situations in our daily life:The woman next door plays her piano after 12 0'clock at night.The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your yard.The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself,"Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?"These days, many people don't know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names! When you don't know someone, it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think," Maybe they like to make me angry," or "Maybe they do it on purpose. " Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate(激怒) you. Often, they don't even know that they're making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.If talking doesn't work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.Finally, sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way.( )1. What's the writer's purpose of writing paragraphs 1& 2？A.To ask some questions.B. To lead in the subjects.C.

When talking with your neighbors, you can make them have a good feeling by ______ .A.praising their childrenB. explaining the problemC. shaking hands with themD. making friends with them( )4. The best way to solve the problem sometimes is to ______A. ask another person for help .B. turn a blind eye to itC. tell the story to your friendD.let your neighbor get out of the wayPassage 13(2017 .河南)The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals (信号) . We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it's okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't tliey have been prettier colors?Well, it's important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn.As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it's been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because it's the color with the longest wavelength (波长)so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were bom. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be printed yellow.So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them, they've certainly come a long way.( )1. What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars?A.Trains.B.Boats.C.Planes.D.Bicycles.( )2. Which of the following colors meant go at first?A.Red.B.Yellow.C.White.D.Green.( )3. Why does red mean danger?A. Because it's the brightest color.B. Because it can be seen far away.C. Because railway companies say so.D. Because it has the shortest wavelength.( )4. Why are school buses painted yellow?A. Because yellow is a prettier color.B. Because yellow once meat danger.C. Because yellow can be seen well in daytime.D. Because yellow means it's OK to go forward.Passage 14(2017 .深圳模拟)One Saturday morning I decided to go to a nature reserve(保护区). Arriving there, I found the camp in the middle of the reserve surrounded (环绕) by a fence on every side. At reception I asked if I could set up my tent somewhere for the night. I found the receptionist was surprised, but she didn't say much about it.Though there were many people around, I was surprised to find nobody set up a tent at the place with the best view. So, I set up my tent and drove around the reserve. When I got back to the camp, I found many people standing around the fence in front of tent, so I asked one of them what was going on. As soon as he found out it was my tent, he said loudly, "Hey, here's the guy who will sleep in the tent!" Several guys came up to shake my hand, showed me the leopards(金钱豹) not too far away and also mentioned that I must be careful sleeping inthe tent in front of the only place where the fence had been broken down. That night I couldn't sleep and I was sure that every sound I heard was a leopard, but I was brave and everything was fine until I heard a really loud sound in the trees near my tent. I quietly caught my keys. Hearing the sound a second time,I jumped up and ran out shouting at the top of my voice. I was sure I could scare away any leopard. Then I jumped in my car.

2020年全国英语中考阅读理解专项训练二(有答案)
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.

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.

But for some people, it's time for them to enjoy a nighttime snack also called ye xiao.Ye xiao is the fourth meal of the day in China. It usually starts from 8 p. m. and lasts until 2 a. m. It is different between the north and the south.People from different places have their special taste. For example, in the north part of China, barbeque (烧烤) is the most common night snack, especially in summer, while in the south it changes from spicy crayfish (小龙虾) in Hunan to tasty desserts in Guangdong.Taiwan's night market is very famous. It is a place for eating and shopping. Parents take their children to eat at street stalls. Young people shop around. Old people just sit around and chat.Today, with the popularity of social media (社交媒体) ye xiao is changing in some places. For example, in Hong Kong traditional snacks include red bean soup and mango pudding. But now French pastries(法式小点) and handmade popsicles(棒冰) are new favorites, according to BBC.But why do people have ye xiao?“Some say that in southern China we have longer days, so we stay awake for longer and have more meals, ” Janice Leung Hayes, a food writer from Hong Kong, told the BBC.But ye xiao is not just about food.

Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or ewaste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they really go in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by ewaste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the ewaste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1. 5 million kilograms of ewaste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in ewaste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.Luckily, the Chinese government wants the country to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with ewaste will be solved in the near future.1. The ewaste found in Hong Kong last month was from ________.A. FranceB. JapanC. GermanyD. Australia2.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bikesharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharingbikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bikesharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bikesharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.1. From the first paragraph, we know ________.A. bikesharing is invented in ChinaB. sharingbikes are used by some peopleC. most people in cities don't driveD. sharingbikes can be borrowed anywhere2.

The passage probably comes from a ________.A. science textbookB. tourist guideC. website news reportD. restaurant menu阅读理解（七）Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and living things cannot grow. The sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系). The solar system is a small part of our galaxy(星系).Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. It is hard to understand how large the universe is.So far, scientists have sent lots of spaceships to look at other planets in the solar system, and some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system. However, no one has discovered life on other planets yet.1. How many planets go around the sun?A. Seven.B. Eight.C. Nine.2.

We wanted to do something to make a difference. ”In 2014, When Kaitlin was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, we set Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there.“The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one,” Kaitlin said. “We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of.”Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. “This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world,” said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school.1. The job of Kaitlin's father was to________.A. sell foodB. build playgroundsC. visit schoolsD. help homeless people2. When did Kaitlin set Kids on a Mission?A. In 2009.B. In 2011.C. In 2014.D.

In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in__return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort, ” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and how they are going to keep it looking like what everyone wants it to be. ”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, the founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them. ”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their house without getting anything in return?Write a 200word response. Send it to tfkasks 4 you @timeforkids. com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parents or teacher if you want your response to be published.

According to Susie Walton, ________.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores4. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.A. Chris Bergman's opinion on raising kidsB. main reasons why kids need encouragementC. how to motivate kids to try new applicationsD. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores5. The purpose of writing the text is to ________.A. invite readers to express their opinionsB. inform readers of two different opinionsC. call on readers to reflect on their behaviorD. present the author's viewpoint about parenting答案：阅读理解（一）1.B 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．A 阅读理解（二）1.A2.C3.D4.C5.

2020最新中考初中英语阅读理解专项强化练习题200篇大全汇总含答案(二)
初三英语阅读理解百战精炼（一）A wallet misplaced during a romantic embrace has been returned to its forgetful owner after 55 years．Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage （旧式的）car they were planning to restore．After an Internet search they found and contacted the owner, Glenn Goodlove．Mr．Goodlove said he probably lost the wallet in the back seat of his 1946 Hudson car while kissing a girl when he was home on leave from the US Navy．Jon Beck, 61, and Chuck Merrill, 72, b ought the now-vintage vehicle in Idaho after placing an ad in a local newspaper to buy a classic car in need of restoration．Driving the car home after buying it, the collectors stopped at a restaurant and saw something from below the back seat．"Like a couple of kids, we thought we had a goldmine," Mr．Beck said．Instead, they found some small change - the leather wallet held a $10 bill, Mr．Goodlove's military ID, his social security card, his driver's licen ce and several jewellery receipts from 1952．But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam．After searching online, Mr．Beck discovered that Mr．Putnam had since changed his name to Glenn Goodlove and moved to San Diego, California．He called Mr．Goodlove, asking to speak to a man who used to drive a '46 Hudson．"There was a silence for about 15 seconds," Mr．Beck told the Twin Falls Times-News．"Then he said, 'Who is that?'" M r．Goodlove, now 75, says he did not even r emember losing the wallet, but the find has brought memories of his youth in Everett, Washington, flooding back．"I could see the house and the car and the town and all the good stuff from living there," he said．"They've been flowing ever since he talked to me．"56．The lost wallet contained all the following EXCEPT ______．A．some money B．some jewelleryC．some receipts D．some cards57．Which of the following happened last?A．The vintage car was purchased．B．An advertisement was placed．C．Mr．Goodlove's name was changed．D．Some personal belongings were found．58．What difference did the wallet make to Glenn?A．He gained unexpected wealth．B．He got back his lost car as well．C．He improved his poor memory a lot．D．He recalled what had long been forgotten．59．The most proper title for the passage is ______．A．A Forgetful Wallet Owner B．Two Car C ollectors and a Good DeedC．Price Paid for Romance D．Lost Wallet Found after 55 Years阅读理解答案：56—59 BDDD初三英语阅读理解百战精炼（二）Writing being largely a self-taught occupation, texts on how to get about it -though great in number- seldom are of much use．You try, and fail．Then try again, and perhaps fail not quite so grievously．Until at last, if you have some gift for it, the failures become less frequent, or at any rate less noticeable．It is this ability to conceal one's defects（瑕疵）that passes, finally, for accomplishment．Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism, outright rejection, nagging insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts．It is uncommon, therefore, to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing l ife．A friend recently loaned me such a book, however - one I wish I'd had the luck to read years ago, and which I would commend to any young person bent on making a career of words．It is the autobiography of the English novelist Anthony Trollope, first published in 1883, the year after hi s death．Needing s ome means to support himself, Trollope at age 19 signed on as a junior clerk in the British postal service．He was at his desk at 5:30 each morning to write for three hours．And he remained in the mail service 33 years, long after reputation and prosperity had come to him．Now, what of his advice?1．For safety's sak e, a rm yourself with some other skills, some other line of work to fall back on．That way, failure at writing, though the disappointment may be keen, will not mean utter ruin．2．Do not depend overly much on inspiration．Writing is a craft, which Trollope compared to the craft of shoemaking．The shoemaker who has just turned out one pair of his work sets to work immediately on the next pair．3．Have a story to tell, but, more important t han that, people it with characters who will speak and move as living creatures in the reader's mind．Without memorable characters, story alone is nothing．4．Meet your deadlines．Life is endlessly "painful and troublesome" for writers who can't finish their work on time．5．Do not be inflated by praise．And, above all, do not be crushed by criticism．6．Understand the risks of writing for a living．"The career, when successful, is pleasant enough certainly; but when unsuc cessful, it is of all careers the most painful．"60．This passage mainly di scusses _____．A．the difficulties and risks of making a career of wordsB．the uselessness of instructions in writing manualsC．the autobiography of the 19th century English novelist Anthony TrollopeD．sound advice provided in a Trollope's autobiography61．From the context we can figure out that the phrase "pass for" in Paragraph 3 means _____．A．focus on B．be regarded as C．be equal to D．lie in62．According to the author, writing _____．A．is basically a self-taught occupation and few instructions are of much practical useB．is a "trial and error" process and it does not count whether you have the gift or notC．for a living is the most pleasant of all careers, full of praise and enjoymentD．sometimes provides good hopes of winning public praise and escaping poverty63．From the passage we may infer that the author is most probably _____．A．an instructor of writing B．a writerC．an educator D．a publisher阅读理解答案：60—63DBAB初三英语阅读理解百战精炼（三）Schools have been blamed for giving kids access to soda in vending machines （自动售货机）．B ut new data suggest that school soft drink sales may not be an important factor in how much soda kids drink．In the current issue of The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, researchers compared soda consumption among nearly 500 students in Maine who attended seven schools over two school years．Four of the schools cut back on soft drink availability at the schools, while three of the schools made no changes．All the students were drinking less soda by the end of the study period, but there were no meaningfu l differences in overall soft drink consumption among the different schools．The data suggest that limiting soft drink availabi lity at school doesn't result in meaningful changes in drink consumption patterns．While there were no changes in overall soda consumption, there was a notable shift in diet soda drinking among girls．If the school cut back on soda availability, girls were less likely to drink diet soda, compared to girls in schools that made no changes．The data are the latest to suggest that schools may not play as big of a role in kids' poor eating habits as widely believed．Last year, The American Journal of Public Health p ublished a provocative （引起争论的）study showing that childhood weight problems often get worse in the summer, when kids are out o f school．Data from kindergarteners and first graders found that body mass index （指数）increased two to three times as fast in summer as during the regular school year．Minority children were especially at risk, as were children who were already overweight．Even children who were too thin and needed to gain weight appeared to have better eating habits during the school year．They actually gained more weight while in school andless in the summer．Even so, much of the focus on childhood nutrition and obesity （肥胖）remains in the nation 's schools．Today, The Times reported that even the school bake sale is disappearing as districts impose strict standards on the food served on school grounds．64．What can be learned from The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior?A．Soft drink remains a problem in schools．B．Girls tend to consume less soda at school．C．Soft drinks may not be to blame for eating problems．D．Vending machines are not available in all schools．65．Better eating habits may be best developed _____ _．A．during summer B．on schooldaysC．with less soda availability D．in attempts for weight-gain66．The writer voices his opinion by ______．A．conducting scientific research B．comparing two journalsC．criticizing wrong beliefs D．referring to ready data67．Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A．Schools are to bl ame for kids' nutrition problems．B．Schools have made changes for a better reputation．C．Kids' po or eating habit has little to do with schools．D．A lot has been done regarding kids' nutrition and obesity．阅读理解答案：64-67CBDC初三英语阅读理解百战精炼（四）KISSI HEALTH-BEAUTY CENTERWith a busy life and job, pres sure can make you look tired and aged．Kissi Health-Beauty Center gives classes, makes training plans

widely used by celebrities or public figures who wish to publish their autobiographies （自传）．The degree of involvement of the ghostwriter in nonfiction writing projects ranges from minor to significant．Various sources explain the role of the ghostwriter and how competent （能胜任的）writers can get this kind of work．In some cases, a ghostwriter may be called in just to clean up, edit, and polish a rough draft of an autobiography or a "how-to" book．In other cases, the ghostwriter will write an entire book or article based on information, stories, notes, and an outline, interviews with the celebrity or public figure．The credited authors also indicate to the ghostwriter what type of style, tone, or "voice" they want in the book．Celebrity books are usually ghostwritten in the first perso n （I did this and that）or the third person （David Pardon asked the group to recommend someone etc．）．In some cases, such as with some "how-to" books, diet guides, or cookbooks, a book will be entirely written by a ghostwriter, and the celebrity （e．g．a well-known musician or sports star）will be credited as author．Publishing companies use this method to increase the marketability of a book by associating it with a celebrity or well-known figure．In several countries before elections, candidates employ ghostwriters to produce autobiographies for them so as to gain visibility and exposure．Two of John F．Ke nnedy's bo oks were almost entirely ghostwritten．Former President Ronald Reagan also released a ghostwritten autobiography．A consultant or career-switcher may pay to have a book ghostwritten on a topic in their professional area, to establish or enhance their credibility as an "expert" in their field．For example, a su ccessful salesperson hopi ng to become an inspiring speaker on selling may pay a ghostwriter to write a book on sales techniques．Often this type of book is published in the vanity press, which means that the author is paying to have the book published．This type of book is typically given away to potential clients （客户）as a promotional tool, rather than being sold in bookstores．72．A ghostwriter does all the following EXCEPT ______ for his

Eve means a warm get-together with friends,a candlelight dinner,or perhaps a celebration at a pub（酒馆）for students.But,for Cai Yingjie，the night has a different meaning:helping beggars（乞丐）and the homeless（people without homes）.Cai,who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua,could be found at Beijing's Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar,she took the cold,rough hands of the woman with her warm,clean hands,and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves（手套）.The woman was surprised for a few seconds,then burst into tears,saying "for the first time I feel respected（尊重）".Cai said,"A beggar's life is very hard. That's why I want to help them."Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor.They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday,visiting 15 beggars in Beijing's Haidian District.They brought bread and gloves with them,and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food.Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise."I know the activity can't help much,but it's meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,"said Sun,head of the group.“And Christmas is a good time for that.”根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

题型二阅读理解（任务型阅读）1-10Passage 1（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。
2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习(含答案)
2020中考英语大阅读组合练有答案一、阅读理解AGetting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rain damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, according to the researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50－watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.()1、What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light.D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.()2、The underlined word “cables” means “______”in Chinese.A. 电报B．电缆C. 电话D. 网线()3、What is true about the Plant Lamp?A. It can be made by local people.B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.C. It can produce all the electricity the villagers need.D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.()4、The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be the most helpful for ______.A. small rainforest communitiesB. carsC. poor people in citiesD. farmers()15、What is the purpose of the passage?A. To report on a new invention.B. To explain a new scientific theory.C. To describe how electricity is made.D. To discuss the problems of poor villages. B（民族风情及节日文化）We never had children of our own—just The White Prince—and I can tell you，he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would，and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it: but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can't teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly，and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom，no matter(无论) how often Bertie asked. You know，I have to draw the line somewhere.Bertie's leg was never cured. When it was bad，he often needed a stick，or me，or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot，especially on cold and wet days，and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together，and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites. You know，I've always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.The lion never showed any interest in running away，and even if he'd wanted to，the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went，he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car，then he'd sit by me in the kitchen，and watch me with those great amber eyes，listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house.The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet. When he died，we buried(埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case(以防) he forgot where the lion was. “I will，but he should get more than a tree，” Bertie said.Bertie was sad for weeks，months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room，or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself，so distant(遥远的). Try as I did，I could not reach him.…(Adapted from The Butterfly Lion)( )1. What did Bertie's wife mean by saying “I have to draw the line somewhere”？A. She would like the lion to sit by her.B. She didn't except Bertie to keep the lion.C. She didn't allow the lion to go into the bedroom.D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park.( )2. Which description about the lion is TRUE according to the story?A. He seldom broke kites into pieces.B. He could jump over the park wall.C. He became weak in his legs and eyes.D. He could kill deer or rabbits for himself.( )3. What can be inferred(推断) from the story?A. Bertie's leg was badly hurt by the lion.B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie's family.C. Bertie's wife would plant a tree for the lion.D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did.( )4. The story is mainly about ________.A. Bertie and his wife—the owners of the lionB. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lionC. the habits that the lion formed in Bertie's familyD. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wife二、任务型阅读Dear Annie,I’ve never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing.
