Especially, are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning, or a night owl （猫头鹰）who almost never goes to bed before midnight?Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are, you will understand better when your body needs exercise, either early in the morning, sometime during the day, or later on in the evening.Second, consider your daily plan. When do you seem to be most busy, and when do you plan your most important tasks?Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible so that you can keep exercising and your life won’t be affected as well.Third, think about when you feel you have the most energy. For most people, that time isrest, or after a long day of work. After a busy or much usually in the morning after a good night’ｓstressful day, exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work.Lastly, find out the place you plan to do exercise.

But what is health? “Health”means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.(1) Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit andvegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition(营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, espe cially fruit and vegetables.(2) Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kidsneed plenty of calcium(钙) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories(热量), not important nutrition.(3) Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomachfeels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make unhealthy and fat.(4) Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV,movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.1. The underlined phrase “a variety of” means ___________.A. plenty ofB. all kinds ofC. the rest ofD. a lotof2.

Health is very important.参考答案1B 2D 3D 4CPassage B中考英语阅读理解分类练习：健康保健类You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong has discovered another saying: An apple a day keeps old age away.The study involved fruit flies(g果蝇), as they share many genes(基因) with humans. Researchers gave one group of fruit flies normal food, and another group of fruit flies got the same food including apple.The results showed that flies that ate apple lived an average of 55 days longer than the flies that didn’t eat apple. The study also found that apple-eating flies were more able to walk, climb and move about as they became old, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports.The researchers believe that the antioxidants (抗氧化剂）found in apples are good for health.In another experiment, researchers studied the diets of thousands of women. They found that those women who often ate apples were 20 percent less likely to have heart disease.Sc ientists have recently discovered the apple’s genetic code(基因代码). This allows scientists to make new kinds of fruit that are healthier. Researchers are already using this information to grow apples with added antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep eyes and joints (关节)healthy and protect against heart attacks and cancer.Apples that help people lose weight may be in supermarkets in just four or five years. They are said to be “extra healthy” apples that can stop people from overeating.【小题1】Fruit flies were used in the research because_______________ .A．they love to eat applesB．they share similar genes with humansC．they are easy to catchD．they can live longer【小题2】By studying the diets of many women, researchers ___________ .A．proved apples were good for people’s health.B．found they are healthier than menC．helped them to lose weight successfullyD．discovered the genetic code of the apple【小题3】From the story, we can infer(推测) that _________________.A．women like to eat apples more often than menB．people who eat apples are easier to have heart diseaseC．scientists are studying a new type of applesD．apples’ genetic code is similar to other fruits【小题4】 You may find the passage in ____________ .A．a science magazine B．a guidebookC． a picture show D．a storybookPassage CNow satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented,the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.1. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather3. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures4. Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather f or ________.A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer5. The main（主要的）idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.A. taking pictures of the atmosphereB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. doing other work in many waysD. weather forecasting参考答案Keys: 1-5 ACBDDPassage D（2019中考保健与健康类选练）Running is becoming popular these days. Many of us run for our health. Doctors say many of thehealth problems come from these bad habits: eating too much, drinking too much, smoking, and not taking enough exercise.

But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (努力) as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table. Multitasking also has an effect (影响) on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary (没必要) for them to learn special skills to do their work.1. What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean?A. Want to buy.B. Use at the same time.C. Take the place of.D. Search information from.2. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that__________.A. family members do not greet each otherB. family members do not eat at the family tableC. young people get on well with their familiesD. young people hardly communicate with their family members3. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.B. Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets.C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D. Mul titasking influences young people’s development seriously.4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.C. Educators feel that young people don’t need to improve their study skills.D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children’s later study skills.5. The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by__________.A. providing special examplesB. following the natural time orderC. giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effectsD. comparing opinions from different worlds参考答案BDDAC。

I hadn't driven that type of van before. I let too much petrol into the engine. So I had to wait for twenty minutes. 2I drove to one house to deliver a sofa. There was a problem, though. When I looked in the back of the van, the sofa wasn't there. Then I remembered the boss had told me to collect the sofa from another shop. I'd forgotten to do that. I drove to the shop in the next town. 3 All the shops are closed on Monday afternoons. I would have to call again the next day instead.4When I arrived at the next house, I opened the doors of the van at the back. A heavy chair fell out onto my foot. Ooooooww! I jumped up and down the street on one leg. It was very painful! I was able to walk on one and a half feet up to the house with the chair.The afternoon was getting very hot. I hadn't eaten or drunk anything and didn't have any water in the car. When I went through the next town, I met a traffic jam. 5 Two hours later, I got to the last shop. It was 6'clock.

2019年中考英语阅读理解冲刺练习5篇(名师精选全国真题+详细解析答案，值得下载打印练习)【能力选练】 A（2019中考选练）If you want to become a fluent(流利的)English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The mostimportant thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skillsyou should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then youcan catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made forchildren. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically,and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.1. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A. Reading and writing.B. Reading and listening.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.2. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".A. meet by accidentB. discoverC. find on purposeD. look for3. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing4. The passage is mainly about how to_______.A. choose suitable listening materialsB. deal with new words in readingC. read as many English books as possibleD. become fluent in speaking and writing English参考答案BACD【能力选练】 B中考英语阅读理解****浪费可耻Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are shortof(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Wastecan be stopped one day, if we do our best.◆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。

"the mongoose shouted joyfully and quickly ate it up．As he went near the tree where the cranes and the snake lived，the trail ended．Finding no more fish he looked around．Suddenly，he came across the snake at the foot of the tree．Seeing the mongoose，the snake fought for his life．They fought for a long time and，in the end，the mongoose killed the snake．The cranes smiled with relief．The next day，the mongoose began to follow the same trail，hoping to find more food．When he came to the tree，he decided to climb up the tree in search of food．The cranes who were away at the river bank returned to find the mongoose climbing down the tree．On looking into their nest，they discovered that this time，the mongoose had eaten up all their eggs．"Alas!

protect other members of the species（物种）in the wild．It's hard work to look after these animals．Their needs often change according to different hours of the day．So Amy must depend on her science knowledge and good number sense to help her make the right decisions all day long．Even though dolphins （海豚）spend much of their time underwater，they aremammals （哺乳动物）．This means that they must come to the surface to take in air．Dolphins give birth to their young．They're not hatched from eggs．Just like all other mammals，mother dolphins must nurse，or feed milk to their babies．Amy and her team know this first﹣hand．One of their dolphins recently gave birth．A baby dolphin is not small，either．It was almost 1meter long the day it was born．A big dolphin usually eats about 4% of its body weitht in

from the sand（沙漠）．and in the woods of Asia there is a kind of bird．To our surprise，this kind of bird doesn't eat anything but iron（铁）．I think the bird's teeth must be harder than the iron．We all know

The mountains are not very high. In China you would probably call them hills rather than mountains as they are less than 1, 000 meters high, but there is something wild about these mountains you get a feeling of space and freedom. You can walk for miles without meeting another person.Northumberland is full of history. There are seven castles, some of them were ruined and the others still there as they were centuries ago. You can find graves going back to prehistoric(史前的，times and strange carvings on rocks which nobody understands. The coast line is dramatic too, with beautiful sandy beaches. These beaches are rarely crowded because the weather is unpredictable and the North Sea is very cold! People don’t go for seaside holidays to Northumberland because of the cold sea and weather, so even in high season there aren’t many tourists.There is an island called Holy Island off the coast of Northunberland, you can get to the island by car or on foot when the tide is out. There is also one castle I particularly like. It is a 14th century castle which stands on a cliff right by the sea. The castle is almost completely ruined, but it looks dramatic and romantic because you can still see the gate and two of its owners. On a summer’s day you can lie on the beach nearby and let your mind wander as you look at this dream-like castle. On a winter’s d ay you can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff, wondering how this castle has stood so long against the forces of nature.I once said to a friend of mine that I thought this castle by the sea was the most beautiful place in the world. She laughed and said there must be many more dramatic places in the world. In one way, I’m sure she’s right, but for me, it’s not just about what a place looks like, it’s about what it says to you.63.In China people probably call them mountains which are________ 1,000 meters high.A.less thanB.nearlyC.more thanD.almost70.

It looks very dramatic and romantic with two towers but no gate.C. The author can let his mind wander as he looks at this dream-like castle.D.

From the last paragraph in the passage, we know________.A.the author’s friend agreed on his opinion about the castle.B.the author doesn’t think there are many more dramatic places in the world.C.the author’s friend pays no attention to the beautiful scenery.D.what the author cares is not only the scenery but also the feeling he can get from it.74.
