【中考英语总复习 考点专项练习】39 阅读理解之说明文(原卷及答案)
专项39 阅读理解之说明文＂英语说明文＂，顾名思义，就是一种以＂说明、解释＂为主要表达方式的英语文体。
它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。
它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。
说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。
说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。
说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。
然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度大。
高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。
因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。
说明文阅读理解的特征一般说来，英语说明文与其他文体一样，文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面，即who → what → when → where → how → why。
1. who：问的是这篇文章的主体是谁？（即所要说明和描述的人或事物）2. what：问的是主体做了什么事情？（即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途）3. when和where：是在何时何地发生的？（即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途）4. how：通过什么方式表现出来的？5. why：这种特性功能用途的原因是什么？做说明文阅读理解题的时候，一定要记住上面的wh-word。

It shortens the journey between Lhasa and Nyingchi fromover five hours to about 3.5 hours.The new railway covers an area of 226,000 square kilometers. It goes through 47 tunnels (隧道) and crosses 121 bridges. The train has a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. It is the fastest train on the high land, but it’s a bit slower than some other Fuxing trains in our country because of the special environment. The railway not only makes local people’s life easier, but also brings more tourists to the area.“The railway trip is so relaxing and fast. The new train has brought our family members closer than ever before,” said a teacher who lives in Nyingchi. She used to drive more than five hours from Nyingchi to Lhasa to visit her parents during the summer vacation.Besides carrying passengers, the railway also provides good chances for farmers to sell local products to more places.

Then one day, Sue saw Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common (相同) until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through their CDs than through their clothesor taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (倾向于) be serious and intelligent. While fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.C（2022·重庆璧山·一模）Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood powered or coal powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment (设备) powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the “Sol 4”. “It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.”The “Sol 4” works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把……对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a nongovernmental (非官方) organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations (捐款) to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.16．The writer starts the passage by ________.A．comparing facts B．sharing experiences C．listing numbers D．giving reasons 7．The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “________”.A．cookers B．people C．mirrors D．experts 18．Which of the following about the “Sol 4” is TRUE ?A．It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B．It can work in any weather condition now.C．It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D．It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.19．From the passage, we can infer that ________.A．the “Sol 4” will be designed in a smaller sizeB．more Africans can use the solar cookers in the futureC．the “Sol 4” is the first product of the South African companyD．the African government will provide poor people with solar cookerD（2022·重庆开州·二模）◆Facial-recognition(人脸识别) cameras are everywhere, even in your smartphone. Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors, or make quick payments. But during the pandemic(疫情), can it still work when people put on masks?◆The answer is no. Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering & Technology(E＆T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system(系统). It can recognize 95 percent of people when they wear masks.◆What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes.◆Marios Savides from Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same—even if we put on weight. As long as there are enough data(数据) from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize us.◆Tech 5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company’s product scans(扫描) the shape of your face. It also scans your iris(虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech 5 hopes to leave out(忽略) all of the face below the nose.◆This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can search for criminals(罪犯) and terrorists(恐怖分子) even when they wear masks,” said Huang-Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force.◆Huang pointed out one big weakness: it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Lei said to E&T.20．The writer leads to the topic(话题) by ________.A．giving an example B．telling stories C．listing numbers D．raising a problem 21．The new system can recognize 95 percent people by scanning ________.A．the face B．the eyes C．the nose D．the mouth22．We can infer that the new system ________.A．can recognize all people with masks in the futureB．can help the police to look for criminalsC．has brought plenty of money to Tech 5D．can recognize a person even when he loses some weight 23．The best structure of this passage is ________.A．B．C．D．专项39 阅读理解之说明文＂英语说明文＂，顾名思义，就是一种以＂说明、解释＂为主要表达方式的英语文体。

【中考英语】 英语阅读理解专题练习(附答案)
【中考英语】英语阅读理解专题练习(附答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure(失败) .However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". What's more, they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence(坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.（1）What did the little boy do when he fell down?A. He cried and lay on the grass.B. He asked his mother for help.C. He got up and went on running.D. He got up and stood there crying.（2）In the writer's opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as?A. A failure.B. A joke.C. An interesting game.D. A learning experience.（3）In the writer's opinion, why can't many adults succeed?A. Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.B. Because they can't find a good excuse.C. Because once they fail, they won't attempt again.D. Because they don't allow themselves to make mistakes.（4）The underlined word " attempt" in Paragraph 2 means .A. 尝试B. 放弃C. 面对D. 怀疑（5）What does the writer want to tell us?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Failure is the mother of success.C. All roads lead to Rome.D. Each coin has two sides.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）C（4）A（5）B【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述的是作者的一次观察男孩跌倒后自由奔跑所得到的启示。

【中考英语总复习 考点专项练习】40 阅读理解之议论文(原卷及答案)
专项40 阅读理解之议论文议论文往往有观点，有事实，逻辑性强，命题往往从事实的有关细节及文章的主旨或作者的表达意图等方面着手，考查我们的思维能力和判断能力。
所以考生要培养根据上下文猜词的能力，或者说根据情境能揣测作者的意图。
议论文的阅读同其他体裁文章的阅读理解一样，可以有主旨大意、细节理解、推理判断、词义猜测等几种出题方式。
二、解题方法：一、重视文章标题，找准全文主题句，把握文章主旨标题往往是全文的主题，审视标题，有利于理解全文，提高解题效率。
主题句对全文起提示、启迪、概括、归纳之作用。
根据主题句既可以知道文章议论的是什么，也可以知道作者希望读者了解主题方面的哪些内容。
议论文题材偏难，但其框架一般都很清晰，多采用总—分—总的结构，交替使用正面和反面的论证方式。
通常，先总说现象或观点；其次，正面陈述、反面论证；最后作者表明自己的态度，再次总结文章。
通常主题句会出现在文章的首句或句末，在这些地方要多留意表示归纳的词汇，也可以在具体事例之后或之前的表示观点的陈述句中寻找。
二、细读文章，注意文章细节理解除主旨题外，细节理解题也是阅读理解题中的基础题，它主要考查学生对文中的具体事例、数字、时间、地点等的理解。
经常出现排序题(按事情发展顺序排序)，图表题(按文章内容找出正确图形)，正误题(依据文章内容对所列的陈述进行正误判断) 。
对这种题型，无论细节题如何变化形式，立足点都应是从文章中找出相应词句作为依据。
虽然答案中有的细节在文中很清楚，但可能与问题无关。
细节题的破解一般用寻读法，即先看试题，再读文章。
对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、分析、对比，有根据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。
假如问题采用的是反向思维，题中含有not或except等表示否定意义的词，则需要更加留意。
此法可以加强阅读的针对性，提高做题的准确率。
做此类题目还要特别注意句子的逻辑关系。
三、理解整体语篇，掌握作者意图做推理判断题要求考生在阅读理解整体语篇的同时，对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，站在作者的视角，而不是主观臆断、凭空想象，从而走入误区。

中考英语阅读理解专项训练(含答案)
中考英语阅读理解专项训练（含答案）“Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough, so he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published, and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life, but soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.So, in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today.

His palace was always decorated with beautiful orchids (兰花) and other flowers. As the king grew older, he knew that one day he would have to give up throne (王位). So he had to find someone to rule the country.The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the country and give every person a single orchid seed. He then announced that the person who grew the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was especially excited about the news because he had experience in growing flowers himself.David planted his seed in a pot and put it in place where there was a lot of sunlight. He watched it carefully every day, but as hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow.Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty pot to the palace. “Your Majesty, I am sorry to say that I could not grow an orchid, but I hope you can see that I tried my best,” he said.The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge (法官).

These programmes give us a good look into the lives of different people in Britain. Also they are a very cheap way to make programmes. Here are some of them.Strictly Come DancingIn the show some famous people learn to dance with a professional dancer. Four professional dance experts give them scores and comments (评论) about their dances. After that, the public vote(投票) for their favourite couple. The two least favourite have to dance again and the judges decide who stays in the competition and who leaves. This show is very popular with people of all ages in the UK.Come Dine With MeEach week four people prepare dinner in their home for the other players. Each player then gives the cook a grade out of 10 for the food. The winner gets ￡1,000. Sometimes the food is terrible and the players are very rude to each other.World’s Strictest ParentsBadly behaved British teens are sent abroad to live with a super strict family for a week. The teenagers have to follow the rules of their host family and go to the local school.

I like meeting people. I couldn’t keep a secret if you told me and I like discovering new things and telling everyone about them. So I became a journalist(记者).Sounds simple and easy, right? But the life of a journalist is more exciting and much harder than that. It can come with pain and frustration (挫折).Once I ran around in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow. I was trying to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the firemen. I wrote the story…Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, though, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.I once wrote about an old people’s home. People there, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas (跳蚤). They were told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, people there phoned me, full of joy. The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways.Journalism can be dangerous and boring, with long and changing work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is terrible. But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it.16．According to the writer, what can’t she do being a journalist?A．Writing different kinds of stories.B．Meeting different people. C．Discovering new things.D．Staying away from pain and frustration. 17．According to the third paragraph, how might the writer feel when she saw her story in the paper?A．Disappointed.B．Happy.C．Scared.D．Encouraged. 18．What does the underlined word “rewards” mean in Paragraph 3?A．回报B．惩罚C．编辑D．帮助19．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?A．How a journalist writes a good story.B．A journalist can sometimes help others and bring about changes in people’s lives.C．A journalist works long hours.D．It’s necessary for a journalist to care more about the poor.20．What can we learn from the article?A．Working in journalism is easy.B．Journalists are usually well-paid.C．The writer loves her job as a journalist.D．The writer encourages people to work in journalism.Close your eyes and picture a scientist. Does an image of a man show up in your mind?It is hard to ignore that even in the 21st century, the “scientist equals male” stereotype(成见) is still there. In the science world, women’s voices are often unheard.According to UNESCO, only 35 percent of global STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students in higher education are women. In pursuing science and technology careers, women are more likely to be treated unfairly because of their motherhood and skin color, noted Teen V ogue.In November, at the 4th World Laureates Forum(世界顶尖科学家论坛) held in Shanghai, some of the world’s top female scientists announced an initiative(倡议), encouraging institutions around the world to promote gender equality(性别平等) in STEM areas.“Role models of women scientists need to be better represented on important international stages and allow their voices to be heard as a way to encourage youths,” Lenore Blum, a female scientist from the US, said at the forum.In December, Talk With Lu Jian, a Chinese TV show, launched a series of programs under the title of She Power in Tech. The show interviewed Chinese female scientists, includinggeneticist(遗传学家) Fu Qiaomei at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lü Zhi, a professor of life sciences at Peking University, and Rong Yi, a chief designer of the Long March 2F rocket.“These female scientists share a strong passion for science,” said Lu Jian, the TV show’s host. “They are making a pathway(通道) for the next women scientists.”Actions should also be taken to create a better environment for women working in the field ofscience and technology, noted Science and Technology Daily. For example, they should be given more resources, join in decision-making and gain support for their research during maternity(生育).21．According to UNESCO, the number of women who study STEM is ________ the number of men.A．equal to B．far more than C．much less than D．close to 22．Lenore Blum thinks that ________.A．more female scientists should find different jobs B．women scientists are good role models C．scientists should be known by more people D．women are good at studying science 23．She Power in Tech is a program that ________.A．shares stories of women scientists B．teaches basic scientific knowledge C．picks up future women scientists D．spreads the latest scientific developments 24．What problems are female scientists facing now?a. Having fewer resources than male scientists.b. Bearing no hardships compared with males.c. Lacking opportunities to make decisions.d. Being unable to work while having a baby. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcdChina’s Twenty-four Solar Terms is considered to be the country’s fifth great invention. It has been added to UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录).The Twenty-four Solar Terms was invented by ancient Chinese. At that time, most people were farmers.

His power of character is necessary so that the “boss” can deal with famous stars and rich investors(投资者). Some movie stars can only contract(签合同) with one studio. They cannot work for another. Big studios like Columbia, Fox,Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are the most important movie-making companies in Hollywood.Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film needs many weeks. Shooting a film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, castles, and forest are all built of wood and cardboard(纸板盒). Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.Most people go to see a film because the film stars they like are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real. People feel that they themselves are among the people in the film. 30．How many big studios are mentioned in the passage?A．3B．4C．5D．631．The scenes have to be reacted and refilmed many times because ________.A．it takes time to make a film B．it is difficult to make them realC．it is not easy to make them good enough D．several hundred people work together 32．Who is the most important person in a film studio?A．The top man running the studio.B．An experienced cameraman.C．An excellent actor.D．The director of the film.33．According to the passage, most people go to see a film because ________.A．they like the scenes in it B．their favourite film stars are in itC．they want to know who is the director D．they want to learn its story34．We can probably see the passage in a(n) ________.A．newspaper B．magazine C．advertisement D．storybookOn a wild mountain, two goats met on a road just over a high cliff (悬崖).

What do you think the two goats did?One of them with great care lay himself down on the narrow road, pressing as close to the rock as he could. Then the other goat softly walked on his friend, till, safely past him, he could lightly jump away.The goat that had lain down then stood up slowly from his place, safe and sound, free to jump again from rock to rock, and enjoyed the sweet grass on the hills happily.However, two other goats met on the banks of a rushing river. A tree had fallen across the river, and became a bridge from one side to the other.The two goats looked at each other, and each wished to pass over first.They stood for a while with one foot on the tree, each thinking that the other would turn back. But neither of them would give way, and they met at last on the middle of the narrow bridge!They then began to push and fight with their horns (角), until at last their feet slipped, and both the goats fell into the running river.Both might have been saved, if either of them had known how to give way at the right time. 35．How did the first two goats pass the narrow road safely?A．One goat turned around and went back.B．One goat jumped over the other and walked away.C．One goat lay down on the road so that the other could first leave.D．They stood there and passed the road carefully together.36．What was the bridge made of?A．A tree.B．A stone.C．Some stones.D．Some trees. 37．What happened when the two goats met on the middle of the bridge?A．They pushed and fought.B．They lay on the bridge.C．They looked at each other.D．They stood on the bridge.38．The underlined word “slipped” in Paragraph 7 means ________ in Chinese.A．浸湿B．打滑C．磨损D．断裂39．The passage tells us that ________.A．we should face the challenge in life B．we should be careful to cross the bridge C．we should give way to others at the right time D．we should be brave to climb the mountainsThe first time I saw Kai, she was sitting in my front yard, hugging my dog Harley. She andher husband Sean had just moved into a small house down the road from us. I thought she was drawn to (被吸引) Harley’s friendly personality, just as he was drawn to hers. From the second time I talked to her, I knew Kai would be a cherished (珍爱的) friend. Her smile and good cheer made me feel better just being around her. Her voice was always full of happiness.It didn’t take long before Kai was beloved by everyone in our neighborhood. Children and adults visited her home often. Although she already had four cats, she also adopted (收养) a stray (流浪的) dog.When we visited her, she would kindly listen to all of our troubles and then say something so wise, and we would leave her home with our hearts singing.
