阅读单选Of all the animals on Earth, none are more willing to explore than humans. Other animalswill go in search of food or water. But humans are searching for possibilities of discovery(发现). So what caused us to explore across the world?Maybe it’s in our DNA．In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen carried out a study of a gene (基因) known as DRD4-7R. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risk, exploring, and getting new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-7R is more common in people who move around a lot than those who don’t. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes (游牧的部落) than in tribes that like to stay in one place better. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found out more to support Dr. Chen’s research.But can one gene be a drive (驱动) for the need to explore? Dr. Kidd doesn’t think so. He thinks DRD4-7R might make people get more curious (好奇的), but other important sets genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just one gene, but groups of genes work together to create behaviors like exploration.The environment we live in also makes much difference to our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of Exploration, explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries. This made others try to make themselves become rich through exploration too. Therefore, their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes.Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-7R gene. Or maybe it has more to do with what’s happening in the world around us. Maybe it’s both. Whatever the reason, it seems we (or at least some of us) will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and so on because that’s just what humans do.1．What did Dr. Chen find about the DRD4-7R gene?A．It has more influence (影响) on people in Africa.B．It could be found in most of the humans.C．It prevents the people in Africa from moving around.D．It may be more common in people who like taking risk.2．What does Dr. Kidd think of the DRD4-7R gene?A．It isn’t the only gene to encourage people to explore.B．It can encourage people to have strange behaviors.C．It is more important than all of other genes.D．It cannot be found in animals or humans.3．What did the example of the European Age of Exploration show?A．The purpose of exploring.B．The importance of the environment. C．The advantage (优势) of exploring.D．The big changes of the environment. 4．What is the structure (结构) of this passage?(P= paragraph)A．B．C．D．5．Which of the following is the best title of the text?A．Genes’ influence on humans B．Humans’ need to exploreC．What causes humans to explore D．How do humans exploreWhen I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm (蚂蚁窝). First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew well what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand (忍受) thattheir tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up is not a good choice.6．What did the writer’s family do for him when he was seven?A．They built a farm of ants.B．They bought a few ants.C．They caught a lot of ants.D．They found an ant city.7．Which of the following is WRONG according to (根据) the passage?A．Giving up isn’t a good way when we meet trouble.B．Like people, teamwork is very important for the ants.C．The ants didn’t die one by one after the tunnels were gone.D．The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to the glass farm. 8．In the mother’s opinion, why did the ants die of sadness?A．Because other ants died.B．Because their tunnels were gone. C．Because the glass box was broken.D．Because they were too tired.9．What has the writer come to realize in recent years?A．Working together is useless.B．Teamwork is important.C．Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted.D．Working alone is amazing.10．What is the best title for the passage?A．Ants Fear Adversity B．My Family and AntsC．Giving Up in Adversity D．Don’t Give Up AnytimeA man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper. “Last week,” hesaid, “my umbrella was stolen(偷) from a London church(教堂). As it was a present, I spent twice its worth(价值) in advertising, but I didn’t get it back.”“________” asked one of the listeners, a businessman. “Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket, a piece of paper cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. If any gentleman finds it and leaves it at No.10 Broad Street, he will receive ten pounds.”“Now,” said the businessman, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed (表达) is very important. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.”The businessman then took a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known.”This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay(放) at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours, his own was among them. Many of them had notes with them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging(乞求) the loser not to say anything about the matter.11．From the first advertisement, we could know anyone who ________ would receive ten pounds.

This famous waterway is known in China as Da Yunhe.The Grand Canal is the earliest and longest man-made canal in the world. It was first built in 486 BC and has a history of more than 2,500 years. The Grand Canal runs from Beijing in the north to Hangzhou in the south. It is about 1,800 km long. In fact, it is not a river, but a system of canals and rivers linked（连接）together. It serves as one of the greatest waterways in human history. In early times, people used it to transport（运输）food. In addition, it has also played an important role in linking the south and the north of China over the ages.Today, the Grand Canal is still an important part of the transport system in China. Thousands of boats use it every day to transport different kinds of goods. The canal is also used to bring water from the south to the north, where there is a lack of water.The Grand Canal shows the wisdom and hard work of ancient Chinese people.

They worked hard all day and never smiled. Their house was small with a small hole dug in the ground, where the family could go in case cyclones(龙卷风) happened.They had a dog called Toto whom Dorothy always played with. Today, however, they were not playing. Uncle Henry sat upon the doorstep and looked worriedly. Dorothy stood in the door with Toto in her arms. Aunt Em was washing the dishes.They heard a low wail (呼啸) of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm.Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.“There’s a cyclone coming, Em” he said. “I’ll go to look after my cows and horses.” Then he ran toward the place where they were kept.Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. “Quick, Dorothy!” she shouted. “Run for the hole!”Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get it. Aunt Em opened the door in the floor and climbed down into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt. When she was halfway across the room, there came a strong wind.

For many Chinese people, nothing is more common than drinking hot water every day. However, the simple habit is like a mystery (谜) to people from other countries.For many Westerners, the idea of drinking hot water is very strange. However, most Chinese people think the Americans’ habit of drinking ice water is also strange and even unhealthy. Some old people would carry a tea kettle (茶壶) when they travel. Chinese doctors are encouraging more people to take on the habit of drinking hot water, especially for women.But in Western countries, drinking hot water isn’t common. Westerners often have drinks with ice, not just on hot days but on almost every day.There is a story online about a British man, who has been in Beijing for over five years. He visited a local café when going back to England. He asked for a glass of hot water in a British accent (口音). But this request surprised the waitress. “To... to... to drink?” she doubted. Finally, the man received the hot water, but felt cold stares from every corner of the cafe.Westerners wonder why Chinese people drink hot water as Chinese are wondering why Westerners drink cold water. This cultural difference is not a simple problem, but related (与……关联) to history, culture and science.As a matter of fact, many teenagers now depend on bottled water for daily drinking. With the younger generation growing up, will drinking hot water become a less popular life habit? Who knows!37．What do most Chinese think of drinking ice water according to the passage?A．Normal and healthy.B．Strange but healthy.C．Strange and unhealthy. 38．Who are especially advised to drink hot water by Chinese doctors?A．Old people.B．Students.C．Women.39．What can be inferred (推断) from the passage?A．Drinking hot water is very good for health.B．Drinking cold water is very harmful to health.C．Different drinking habits are probably related to different cultures.40．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Different Drinking Habits B．Drinking Hot Water in China C．Healthy Life HabitsHow to Take the MedicineFor the stomachacheTake each pill (药片) of the medicine three times a day for children of 14 years old with a stomachache.

2025中考备考初中英语阅读理解人与自我主题语境相关真题精选专项训练AAuggie's StorySleepI'd been reading for over an hour and sleep still didn't come. It was almost two a. m. Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn't sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind.When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we'd been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn't know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It's so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that's the worst in your life, but to everybody else it's just a usual night.Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone's faces were the same. Mine was the same.But something was different. Something had changed.Home"So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?" I asked Mum."Whatever you want to talk about," she answered."Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time," I said. "I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me." "No, sweetie. Don't let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don't let them take that away from you, okay?""I know." I nodded. "But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?""There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie," she said, looking at me. "But I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care ofeach other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos. And those other kids.""Oh yeah, Miles and Henry," I answered. "They were amazing, too. It's very strange because Miles and Henry haven't even really been very nice to me at all during the year.""Sometimes people surprise us," she said, rubbing the top of my head.1.Why couldn't Auggie fall asleep?A. He kept thinking about something.B. He was doing bedtime reading.C. He was looking for his flashlight.D. He didn't like his sleeping bag.2.According to the first part, what was different at the camp?A. The sky.B. Auggie's face.C. The movie.D. Auggie's feeling.3.Auggie was worried that ______.A. his mum would feel unhappyB. bad guys would always be aroundC. he would not have a good tripD. Jack would not be his friend any more4.What do we know about Miles and Henry?A. They ruined Auggie's whole trip.B. They took something away from Auggie.C. They were nice to Auggie this time.D. They were Auggie's best friends.BAs we know, eating vegetables is good for us. Why do some people like them but others don't? A new study has found that other people's likes and dislikes could be a reason. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show a clear dislike for them can influence others.People may make facial expressions (面部表情) when eating. How does it affect a person watching them? A team of scientists in the UK did a study. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating broccoli (西兰花). The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seemneutral (neither happy nor sad), or look disgusted.The study found that when people in the videos look disgusted while eating broccoli, people watching them began to like broccoli less. The opposite was not true, however. When someone had a smile while eating broccoli, people watching them did not like broccoli more.By watching others, humans learn which behaviors will be good for them. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that looks terrible. In this way, people can protect themselves from eating something bad or dangerous. The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children. This means, if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either.How does the behavior of adults influence children's choices of food? The team said they hope to understand more about it. This could help find ways to encourage children to eat more healthy foods.5.What does the underlined word "disgusted" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Excited.B. Amazed.C. Unhappy.D. Untidy.6.What's the result of the study?A. People may prefer the food others like.B. Children dislike eating certain vegetables.C. Young women are easily affected by others.D. People may not choose the food others dislike.7.The team may do further study on _________.A. the safety of children's foodB. the wish to understand childrenC. the influences of parents' behaviorD. the ways to produce healthy foods8.What is the best title of the text?A. Videos affect choices of foodB. Studies on vegetables help a lotC. Expressions prevent possible dangersD.

I never want to forget where every step of my life has taken me. Already it seems as if so much has happened.

According to the United Nations (UN), every year around the world, about one billion (十亿) tons of food is wasted. At the same time, there are nearly one billion people who go hungry. Simply 1/4 of the food wasted is enough to keep them out of hunger. In addition, the wasted food produces over three billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), which speeds up climate (气候) change. What can we do to solve this food waste problem?One effective solution is balancing food production with demand (需求). In hotels and other similar places, special instruments should be used so that cooking specialists just prepare and cook food as it is ordered.Another effective solution is starting programs to reduce (减少) food waste. Stores and buyers can try their best to be creative in food waste reduction. For example, stores can provide customers with instructions telling them how to make full use of food. Buyers can try not fixing their eyes only on food of the best quality (质量). Sometimes, the food of non-top quality is also good enough to eat, or can be bought and then used to make delicious dishes.One of the hardest solutions to achieve is for each and every one to buy and prepare food with a plan of their own so that less food is wasted. Challenging as it is, the use of meal plans in preparing food can play an important role in ending food waste in the family.Food recycling is one of the known solutions. Efforts are now already in progress. Food that is not safe for humans to eat is recycled into other products such as animal feeds and clothing. Yet, there is still a long way to go and much for improvement in this area.In a word, food waste has been one of the biggest problems in the world that have influenced us greatly. Many solutions have been found and many more are yet to be worked out. If each of us can put in more efforts, food waste is sure to be reduced for the good of our future.29.According to the passage, what is a possible result of food waste?A. The problem of worldwide hunger.B. A big increase in food production.C. The speed-up of climate change.D. A sudden drop in population.30.What can we learn from the passage?A. Food recycling has been hugely successful.B. Buyers should give up non-top quality food.C. Stores should train people to make delicious dishes.D. Meal plans in the family are hard to put into practice.31.What is the passage mainly about?A. Benefits of reducing food waste.B. Solutions to the food waste problem.C. The importance of fighting food waste.D. The attitude to the food waste problem.IWhen considering the kind of experience that makes life better, most people first think that happiness depends on experiencing pleasure: good food, good jobs, all the comforts that money can buy. If we couldn't have these, we might as well sit in front of the television on a quiet evening.Pleasure is an important part of the quality of life, but by itself it doesn't bring happiness. When people think further about what makes a worthy life, they tend (倾向于) to move beyond pleasant memories and begin to remember other events, other experiences that overlap (有重叠) pleasurable ones but fall into a group with a separate name: enjoyment. Enjoyable events take place when people have not only satisfied a need or met someearlier expectation, but also achieved something unexpected.Enjoyment is characterized by a sense of curiosity, of achievement. Playing a tennis game that improves one's ability is enjoyable, as is reading a book that shows things in a new light, as is having a conversation that leads us to express ideas we didn't know we had. None of these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back on them afterwards, we would say, "That really was fun" and wish they would happen again. After an enjoyable event we know that we have changed, and grown.Experiences that give pleasure can also give enjoyment, but the two feelings are quite different. For example, everybody takes pleasure in eating. However, to enjoys food is more difficult—you have to pay enough attention to a meal, so as to sense and tell its various tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure without any psychic energy, while enjoyment happens only as a result of full attention. A person can feel pleasure without any effort, as long as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it's impossible to enjoy a tennis game or a book without full attention. It's for this reason that pleasure does not last long, nor does it make us grow. Growth requires full attention to goals that are new, that are relatively challenging.Without enjoyment, life will go on, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily on luck and the external (外部的) environment. To achieve personal control over the quality of experience, however, we need to learn how to build enjoyment into what happens day in, day out.32.You will most probably experience enjoyment when you ________.A. buy expensive shoesB. order a delicious mealC. talk with friends for new ideasD. sit quietly in front of a television33.What do you know about pleasure and enjoyment from the passage?A. Enjoyment grows out of pleasure.B. Pleasure and enjoyment come hand in hand.C. Pleasurable experiences are part of enjoyable ones.D. Some experiences provide both pleasure and enjoyment.34.The words "psychic energy" in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.A. attentionB. interestC. abilityD. knowledge35.The writer probably agrees that ________.A. feeling pleasure stops people from achieving growthB. feeling enjoyment comes with achieving growthC. a worthy life depends on luck and environmentD. pleasure is the key to a happy and worthy lifeJA young man with excellent grades wanted to get a job in a big company，He met the manager for the interview.The manager asked， "Who paid for your education？""My parents."

九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第（一）篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing.

Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第（四）篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1.

With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

In geographical newspapers第（八）篇During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitche n of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization.

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第（九）篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3.

2025年中考备考专题初中英语阅读理解议论文真题精选专项训练
专题2025中考备考初中英语阅读理解议论文真题精选专项训练AWhen considering the kind of experience that makes life better, most people first think that happiness depends on experiencing pleasure: good food, good jobs, all the comforts that money can buy. If we couldn't have these, we might as well sit in front of the television on a quiet evening.Pleasure is an important part of the quality of life, but by itself it doesn't bring happiness. When people think further about what makes a worthy life, they tend (倾向于) to move beyond pleasant memories and begin to remember other events, other experiences that overlap (有重叠) pleasurable ones but fall into a group with a separate name: enjoyment. Enjoyable events take place when people have not only satisfied a need or met some earlier expectation, but also achieved something unexpected.Enjoyment is characterized by a sense of curiosity, of achievement. Playing a tennis game that improves one's ability is enjoyable, as is reading a book that shows things in a new light, as is having a conversation that leads us to express ideas we didn't know we had. None of these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back on them afterwards, we would say, "That really was fun" and wish they would happen again. After an enjoyable event we know that we have changed, and grown.Experiences that give pleasure can also give enjoyment, but the two feelings are quite different. For example, everybody takes pleasure in eating. However, to enjoys food is more difficult—you have to pay enough attention to a meal, so as to sense and tell its various tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure without any psychic energy, while enjoyment happens only as a result of full attention. A person can feel pleasure without any effort, as long as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it's impossible to enjoy a tennis game or a book without full attention. It's for this reason that pleasure does not last long, nor does it make us grow. Growth requires full attention to goals that are new, that are relatively challenging.Without enjoyment, life will go on, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily on luck and the external (外部的) environment. To achieve personal control over the quality of experience, however, we need to learn how to build enjoyment into what happens day in, day out.1.You will most probably experience enjoyment when you ________.A. buy expensive shoesB. order a delicious mealC. talk with friends for new ideasD. sit quietly in front of a television2.What do you know about pleasure and enjoyment from the passage?A. Enjoyment grows out of pleasure.B. Pleasure and enjoyment come hand in hand.C. Pleasurable experiences are part of enjoyable ones.D. Some experiences provide both pleasure and enjoyment.3.The words "psychic energy" in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.A. attentionB. interestC. abilityD. knowledge4.The writer probably agrees that ________.A. feeling pleasure stops people from achieving growthB. feeling enjoyment comes with achieving growthC. a worthy life depends on luck and environmentD. pleasure is the key to a happy and worthy lifeBComputer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind?For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don't need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face.Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate.To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave's robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!5.Why do scientists think a robot needs a face?A. It will become more beautiful.B. It can do better in lifting things.C. It will pay more attention to children.D. It can better communicate with people.6.What does the underlined word "creepy" mean in paragraph 2?A. Uncomfortable to look at.B. Impossible to touch.C. Boring to talk to.D. Difficult to understand.7.Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with?A. People should treat robots as humans.B. Robots need to express their own feelings.C. Robots shouldn't look too much like humans.D. People can easily accept robots with a human face.8.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain the reasons why robots should have faces.B. To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces.C. To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have.D. To show how scientists invent robots with different faces.CIs fake grass better than a living grass lawnWhat do you need to know ？• Fake grass is made from different types of plastics and used in gardens as well as sportsgrounds.• More and more people are using fake grass to replace living grass lawns （草坪） and cover other outdoor spaces.• One company selling fake grass has sold 50% more compared with last year.• Some people think fake grass is bad for wildlife and the environment ，and mustn't be sold.

As we entered the forest, the fresh air and the sound of birds chirping filled our senses. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a beautiful pattern on the ground.We followed a narrow path that led us deeper into the forest. Along the way, we saw various kinds of plants and flowers. Some of them were so colorful and unique that we couldn't help but stop and admire them. We also came across a small stream that was crystal clear. The water was so cold and refreshing that we took off our shoes and dipped our feet in.After walking for a while, we reached a clearing where there was a large rock. We climbed up on the rock and had a picnic. We ate sandwiches, fruits, and drank juice. It was a perfect moment, surrounded by nature.As we continued our adventure, we stumbled upon an old abandoned cabin. It was a bit spooky, but we were brave enough to explore it. Inside, we found some old tools and a dusty book. It was like stepping back in time.Finally, as the sun began to set, we made our way back home. We weretired but happy, filled with memories of our amazing outdoor adventure.1. What did they do when they saw the small stream?A. They swam in it.B. They took pictures of it.C.

I landed on a glass rabbit and cut one of my eyes badly enough to blind me. The doctor said that if the eye was taken out, my face would look worse, so my scared and blind eye lives on with me.People often ask me uncomfortable questions about my eye or even play jokes on me. When the kids played games, I was always the "bad guy". Everyone looked down on me. Yet every time mom noticed I was unhappy, she would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." It helped me move on in life.As a child, I thought mom meant: "Be careful or you will fall down or knock into something because you are not looking." As a teenager, I always looked down to hide my shame, but I found that people liked me when I held my head up high. In high school I was even made monitor, but outside I still felt like a freak（怪物）. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world.

【英语】中考英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、阅读理解1．阅读理解It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is climate（气候） change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data（数据）from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield（平均产量） has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare（公顷）.However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings（茎段）rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype（基因型）. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus（真菌） in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation（种植园）suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People's love for bananas.B. The taste of bananas.C. The convenience of eating bananas.D. The future disappearance of bananas.（2）What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?A. More countries will start to grow bananas.B. Bananas will grow better in most countries.C. Bananas will not be able to grow any more.D. Bananas won't be as tasty as before.（3）What does Paragraph 5 tell us?A. What diseases bananas may suffer from.B. How bananas are grown.C. How diseases can easily kill bananas.D. Which diseases can kill bananas.（4）The passage is written to ________.A. offer tips for growing bananasB. explain why bananas may die outC. show the difficulties of growing bananasD. describe bananas' growing conditions【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因。

"I'm going for a coffee," I answered. "And no, you can't come." Then I ran away before they could say something. But the guilt（内疚的） feelings slowly went away. Being a mom is hard work. There's always something new to do to make my kids happy. Sometimes, I need to do something just for me. It teaches my kids an important lesson: I matter, too.I know parenting articles often tell us it's OK to take time for ourselves. But it's so much harder to walk the talk. Of course, we should put ourselves first sometimes. And not just when we are sick. I'm talking about putting ourselves first in other ways. For example, tell the baby that after thirty minutes of reading to them, you are going to read your own book or eat at your favorite restaurant. These selfish moments are good ways to teach our children that we are important too. When you ask my kids "What does mom like?" They can answer with some of my interests and favorite things: reading books, watching movies, taking care of animals and them. They often see me do the things I enjoy, so they understand me and would stay with Dad. This understanding is good for our children. "She's a mom" shouldn't be the only way your child describes you. If it is, it's time to be a little selfish, Moms.（1）Why did the woman leave her children quickly?A. She had little time left that day.B. She tried not to change her mind.C. She didn't want to explain herself.D. She had many things to do that day.（2）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?A. It's easier said than done.B. It's harder to make a start.C.

话题04航天航空 2024年中考英语阅读理解专项训练
2024年中考英语阅读理解专项训练热搜话题04航天航空（一）①Did you hear of China’s Tiangong space station? How much do you know about the lives of astronauts working in the space station? Come along and find out!②For astronauts in space, exercise is important. The environment is very different in space. Doing sports helps astronauts stay healthy. How do they exercise? There is a spin bike (健身车), a treadmill (跑步机), and other fitness equipment (设备) in the space station. The equipment makes it easy for astronauts to work out.③Astronauts live in a weightless environment, so they can’t take showers like we do on the earth. Is there a bathroom in the space station? How do they keep themselves clean? Don’t worry! Tiangong has a special bathroom. Astronauts can wipe themselves clean with a wet towel (毛巾) .④What do astronauts eat in the space station? There is bread and porridge for breakfast. There are also traditional Chinese dishes, like Kung Pao Chicken, fried rice and fried noodles with sliced pork. There isa special “fridge” to store the food. It’s made of “aerogel (气凝胶) ”. The food stays cool in it.⑤What if astronauts miss their families? There is special communication equipment in the space station. Astronauts can have personal “sky-to-earth” calls with their families. Usually, the astronauts wear earphones. It not only helps them talk with each other, but also allows them to talk to the ground from any position (位置) .⑥What do you think of the lives of the astronauts?1．In Paragraph 1, the writer leads into the topic by ________.A．using sayings B．listing numbersC．asking questions D．giving examples2．Which of the following is TRUE from the text?A．Astronauts hardly exercise in the space station.B．Astronauts use dry towels to clean their bodies.C．Nothing delicious is available in the space station.D．It’s easy for astronauts to talk with their families.3．What’s the main purpose of the text?A．To tell the lives of the astronauts in space.B．To describe the difficulties of living in space.C．To invite people to travel to the space station.D．To introduce China’s Tiangong space station.4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?A．B．C．D．（二）When the first person looked up at the sky, the imagination of the space began. In China, there are many stories about the exploration of space.Thousands of years ago, there was a lady named Chang’e who flew to the Moon and lived there. It’s a story just living in myths (神话). In the Ming Dynasty, a man named Wan Hu used the machine which was made of a chair, some fireworks and a kite as a rocket. He wanted to go into the space but failed. He wasconsidered as the first human to try to explore the space.In 2003, when Shenzhou V successfully set off, Yang Liwei’s words “ask for instructions to go to the war” brought tears (眼泪) to our eyes. Carrying the flying dream of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, the first “space visitor” of China, excellently completed his task. It started the space age for the Chinese. In 2008, Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng returned to space by Shenzhou VIl. Zhai achieved the success of the first Chinese spacewalk. “I am out of the capsule (太空舱), I feel good,” he told the world proudly.In the following years, China kept on making its way to explore more about the space.

Wang became the first Chinese woman astronaut to enter Tiangong space station.Wang was born in January 1980. Her space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人) to become an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men. “The space environment won't change because you are a woman,” she said.The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning (旋转的) machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain was short of blood. “There’s a red button,” said Wang. “If you can’t stand it, you can press it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.” That strong spirit finally made her dream come true in 2013. She joined the team for the Shenzhou X mission (任务).Wang said that as astronauts, women have their own advantages. “Women may be more patient and can better deal with loneliness.”Wang Yaping went a long way before becoming the first woman to enter the Tiangong space station. She sets a good example for all women who dream of going to space.9．How old was Wang Yaping when she first enter Tiangong space station?A．19.B．38.C．40.D．41.10．What was Wang Yaping’s job in 2003?A．She was a pilot.B．She was a worker.C．She was a teacher.D．She was an astronaut.11．What do Wang Yaping’s words mean in Paragraph 2?A．The space environment is easy to change.B．Only men can go to space station in the world.C．Men and women will face the same difficulties in space.D．Both men and women astronauts can go to space bravely.12．Why would Wang become blind for a while when training?A．Because she was in a dark room.B．Because her brain was short of blood.C．Because there was something wrong with her ears.D．Because she is a woman, she couldn’t stand the training.13．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Wang is the first woman astronaut in the world.B．Wang dreamed of being an astronaut in 2003.C．It was a short time before Wang made her dream come true.D．Wang pressed the red button when she became blind after the high-G training.（四）The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellites. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), whiç．h tries to pull the satellites towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
