2020-2021中考英语试卷英语阅读理解题分类汇编(含答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone (里程碑) in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e-4 became the first lunar probe (月球探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon.The Earth's gravity (重力) slows the moon's rotation (自转), matching it to the speed of its orbit (公转). Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar (太阳的) winds, the far side may have the special minerals (矿物质). For this reason, Chang'e-4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e-4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future.However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked(阻断) off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite (中继卫星) Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e-4 has been well solved.Power supply (电源供应) is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e-4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length (长度) of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e-4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels.Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e-4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments.The New York Times used the word "groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon".（1）When was Chang'e-4 sent up?A. In May, 2018.B. On December 8, 2018.C. On January 3, 2019.D. The passage doesn't tell us.（2）The main tasks of Chang'e-4 don't include _______________________.A. studying if life is possible on the moonB. studying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surfaceC. solving the communication problem between Earth and other probesD. researching any mineral found by the spacecraft（3）The meaning of the underlined word "groundbreaking" in the last paragraph is the closest to "________________".A. harmfulB. unpredictableC. riskyD. pioneering（4）According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Chang'e-4 has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon.B. A lunar day has the length of 28 Earth days.C. China's relay satellite Queqiao was sent up in order to offer power supply to probes.D. Chang'e-4 is the first lunar probe in history that has successfully landed on the "dark" side of the moon.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章介绍了中国的嫦娥四号月球探测器，为我们讲述了嫦娥四号升空时间，什么时候在月球背面着陆，如何跟地球进行通讯联系等等。

If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!（1）According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages（2）How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.（3）The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达（4）If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about（5）The best title for the passage is ___________.A.

Wish they could help you more or less.Hold on to your dreams no matter how difficult they are or how “different” they may seem to others. Just do it! The worst thing in life is to look back and say, “I would have ...; I could have ...; I shoul d have...”Make a “Life List” of all those things you want to do such as travelling to places, learning a skill, mastering a language or meeting someone special. Don't say “I'll do it tomorrow”. There is no tomorrow, and there is no “right” time to beg in something except now.Be kind and spare no effort to help people — especially the weak and the poor. Everyone has a special pain, and they need our care and help.Read books, as many as you can. They bring pleasure, knowledge and inspiration (灵感) to you. Always travel, especially when you are young. Don't wait until you have “enough” money or everything is “just right”. That never happens. Get your passport today.Remember not to argue. It never works, and it only hurts both yourselves and others. You should hug people you love. Tell them how much they mean to you now. Don't wait until it's too late.Be grateful. There is an Irish saying, “This is a day in our lives, and it will not come again.” Live every day with this in mind. Yours,Granny （1）What does the underlined phrase “spare no effort” mean?A. Do your bestB. Find your timeC. Use your own wayD. Take your time （2）What did the writer wish her grandchildren to be?A. Rich and famousB. Healthy and strongC. Funny and activeD.
