Ⅰ.完形填空(共15小题，满分30分)

I am never the first among my friends to use the newest technology. It is not that I don't __1__ a new toy to play with, but with money always being __2__，I try to be sensible about it.

Back in the eighties, when all my schoolmates were __3__ phone messages on their pagers (寻呼机), I was still getting Post-it notes from Mom saying that “Billy __4__”. This system of written notes seemed to __5__，so I never considered updating.

Then cell phones arrived and began to __6__ the pagers. They certainly offered a better system, but for a twenty-year-old dishwasher they were a bit __7__. Even though more and more of my family and friends __8__ the mobile world, I remained faithful to my old telephone.

Then, about five years ago, as I was in a stage of my life where I was moving around a lot, it became difficult to keep in touch with others. A cell phone could provide the __9__，I realized. So I marched proudly into my local __10__，fully eager to join the twenty-first century.

“What sort of phone are you looking for？” the nice girl behind the counter asked. So I told her that I wanted a __11__ phone to make calls with, nothing fancy.

“Well，” the nice girl __12__，“we could sell you this phone that does nothing else at all, like you have said, or we could give you this nice Smartphone that does almost everything！”This girl was good; how could I __13__ her offer? So I walked out of the store with my new Smartphone! That phone had so many __14__ that it came with a two-hundred-page guidebook.

Now my Smartphone has become my lifeline which I have to take everywhere — without it I feel uneasy. It seems that I have become one of those people who are so __15__ by their phone that they don't care about the world around them.

A

(2013·汕头市模拟)Recently, a study showed that changes found in astronauts' eye tissue might cause vision problems, and possibly even blindness. As well as threatening the health of astronauts, this could influence long-distance missions into space.

Larry Kramer of Texas Medical School in Houston and his colleagues carried out MRI scans on 27 NASA astronauts after they had spent an average of 108 days in space. About half of them had some problems in their optic nerve (视神经) or eyeball.

The changes match those seen in people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension, a rare condition in which the pressure of blood is abnormally high in the brain. People with the condition experience headaches, nausea (反胃) and vision problems including blindness.

In space, the changes are probably caused by living in free fall. “It is not because of the sunlight in space or the spacecraft's function. One likely reason is that blood which normally pools in the legs is shifted toward the skull (头颅骨), raising pressure，” says Kramer.

The findings are similar to the results of a survey of 300 astronauts carried out in 2011. The damage in vision was reported by 29 percent of astronauts on short-term missions, and 60 percent on long-term missions.

“If astronauts are exhibiting these changes after only 100 days in space, what will happen on a three-year flight to Mars？” asks Jason Kring, who studies human performance in extreme conditions at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida.

“Deteriorating vision could seriously damage astronauts' ability to carry out routine mission tasks, including monitoring displays and navigating the rocky landscape of Mars，” says Kring. “This possibility, combined with what we already know about how micro-gravity affects muscles and bones, paints a dark future for human space flight unless we start to develop effective measures.”

Kramer says that NASA has the matter in hand. In the wake of the study, all astronauts now have regular brain scans. This includes those yet to travel into space, providing a baseline (基线) from which any changes would be obvious. He also believes it might be possible to identify astronauts' risk of eyesight damage from medical data before sending them into space.

1．The author mentions idiopathic intracranial hypertension in Paragraph 3 in order to ________.

A．show that the condition is common for astronauts

B．explain the symptoms of astronauts' vision problems properly

C．stress the importance of astronauts' vision problems

D．compare the difference between patients and astronauts

2．According to Kramer, many astronauts have vision problems probably because________.

A．the sun shines brightly in space

B．the spacecraft makes too much noise

C．the spacecraft is always moving too fast

D．zero gravity has an influence on astronauts

3．The underlined word “Deteriorating” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by“________”．A．Concentrated B．Strengthening

C．Worsening D．Accurate

4．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Staying for a long time in space will lead to blindness.

B．Scientists' research in space will be banned soon.

C．Space flight makes astronauts' bones function better.

D．NASA has started to care for astronauts' eyesight.

5．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Space flight may be bad for astronauts' eyes.

B．Scientists are doing research on astronauts' eyes.

C．Some scientific problems exist in astronauts' eyes.

D．Measures should be taken to protect astronauts' eyes.

B

(2013·陆丰市鹤山二中模拟)James Cooke, of Islip, N. Y. , can't recognize other people. “I see eyes, nose, cheekbones, but no face，” he said. “I've even passed by my son and daughter without recognizing them.”

He is not the only one. Those with prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, can see perfectly well, but their brains are unable to piece together the information needed to understand that a collection of features represents an individual's face. The condition is a neurological (神经病学的) mystery, but new research has shed light on this strange disease.

Some scientists had believed that faces and voices, the two main ways people recognize one another, were processed separately by the brain. Indeed, a condition parallel to prosopagnosia, called phonagnosia,_similarly leaves a person unable to distinguish a familiar voice from an unfamiliar one.But by testing for these two conditions at the same time, researchers at the Max Planck Institute recently found evidence that face and voice recognition may be linked in a unique person recognition system.

The scientists observed the brain activity of 19 healthy volunteers as they were led through tasks that tested their ability to recognize both faces and voices. The researchers found that regions of the brain, associated with face recognition, are directly linked to regions responsible for voice recognition.

This research helps explain why a person with prosopagnosia may still have difficulty determining who a person is even after he has begun to speak. The challenge for

scientists is to find out where this system breaks down. Are these connections in the brain missing entirely, or are people unable to recognize faces and voices simply unable to use these links in some way?

It is unclear how many people have these conditions. Many don't even realize they have problems with face or voice recognition. While some develop these difficulties after a brain injury, others develop it in childhood.

6．James Cooke can't recognize other people because ________.

A．his eyesight is failing

B．he prefers to walk hurriedly

C．he suffers from face blindness

D．he can't tell facial expression

7．Which of the following is TRUE of prosopagnosia?

A．It is a common disease among adults.

B．It may cause damage to the brain.

C．It is always an inborn disease.

D．There has been no cure for it.

8．According to Paragraph 3, the underlined word “phonagnosia”may be known as ________.

A．voice blindness B．memory losses

C．facial injuries D．mental illness

9．According to the recently discovered evidence, ________.

A．different regions of the brain have to work separately

B．people with phonagnosia are good at face recognition

C．regions of the brain for person recognition are connected

D．person recognition is controlled by the same part of the brain

10．What can we know from the last two paragraphs?

A．The causes of the two diseases have been discovered recently.

B．The scientists are quite satisfied with the evidence and findings.

C．Some people have problems with both face and voice recognition.

D．A lot of patients have been assisted medically and psychologically.

⑤窗外,飘着雪花。我和小胖这些孩子的对话也像雪花一样落进彼此心里。显然,他们开始配合我、“帮助”我了。 ⑥其实,我只需要他们的配合,并不指望他们的“药方”。事实上,他们在卖力地“帮助”我,放弃了属于自己的玩乐时间,为我寻找新鲜的蜡梅花…… ⑦有一天,他们的“小神探”跑来给我说,“老师,小胖领着我们找到一片蜡梅树林,我们摘了一些在家晾着呢,等干了给你拿来。”我呆了,想着他们可别“毁林”啊。 ⑧我悄悄叫来小胖,谨慎地想着措辞,不想小胖挺“诡”,一听就明白了,大声大气地 说,“老师,那是一片没人管的废林子,正改建,快挖没了,再晚了就摘不到了。”我将信将疑拨通报社朋友的电话,他索性带我去实地考察,果然小胖的话属实。这是一片荒园,就“藏匿”在学校附近,很像鲁迅笔下的“百草园”,本真的自然景色让我很动心,思忖着:哪天带学生来游一回。 ⑨一个漫天飞雪的周末,我经过教室的时候,发现小胖正在门口小书桌上用橡皮泥仔细地抹平那个“恨”字,然后在上面贴了一张心形贴纸,用力地按了按,并端端正正地写下一个“爱”字。我激动了,在班里宣布,“放学后踏雪访梅去!”小胖喊,“我带路给老师摘蜡梅花去!” ⑩雪花、梅花、孩子们的笑脸、欢声,浩浩荡荡地欢腾着那片荒地,缕缕的芳香缠绕着我的眼耳鼻喉,我快乐着孩子们的快乐。那一刻,在我眼中,这群孩子就是一朵朵美丽的蜡梅花——你闻不到他们的芳香,是因为你还没有走进他们的心里…… 花香太浓了,弥漫在眼里,我禁不住落泪了,哦,这芬芳的花儿,芬芳的孩子! 今冬,又飘雪了。看着手中他们寄来的小小蜡梅花,我分明闻到他们心灵里散发的香。我想说,此刻,我陶醉。 (选自《散文·海外版》2019年第4期,有删改) 1.本文回忆了“我”与学生交往的几个片段,请在横线上补全相关内容。

中考语文阅读专题训练及答案

中考语文阅读专题训练 （一）夜深了，花睡了 三毛 我爱一切的花朵。在任何一个千红万紫的花摊上，各色花朵的壮阔交杂，成了都市中最美的点缀。 其实我并不爱花圃，爱的是旷野上随着季节变化而生长的野花和那微风吹过大地时的感动。 生活在都市里的人，迫不得已在花市中捧些花回家。对于离开泥土的鲜花，我总有一种疼惜又抱歉的心理，可还是要买的。这种对花的抱歉和喜悦，总也不能过分去分析。 在所有的花朵中，如果要说“最爱”，我选择一切白色的花，尤其是长梗的百合。 许多年前，我尚在大西洋的小岛上过日子，那时，经济拮据，丈夫失业快一年了。我在家中种菜，屋子里插的是一人高的枯枝和芒草，那种东西，艺术品位高，并不差的。我不买花。 有一日，丈夫和我打开邮箱，又是一封求职被拒的回信。那一阵，其实并没有山穷水尽，粗茶淡饭的日子过得没有悲伤，可是一切维持生命之外的物质享受，已不敢奢求。那是一种恐惧，眼看存款一日日减少，心里怕得失去了安全感。这种情况只有经历过失业的人才能明白。 我们眼看求职再一次受挫，没有说什么，去了大菜场，买了些最便宜的冷冻排骨和矿泉水，就出来了。不知怎么一疏忽，丈夫不见了，我站在大街上等，心事重重的。一会儿，丈夫回来了，手里捧着一小束百合，兴冲冲地递给我，说：“百合上市了。” 那一瞬间，我突然失了理智，向丈夫大叫起来：“什么时候了？什么经济能力？你有没有分寸，还去买花？！”说着我把那束花“啪”一下丢到地上，转身就跑。在举步的那一刹间，其实我已经后悔了。我回头，看见丈夫呆了一两秒钟，然后弯下身，把那些撒在地上的花，慢慢拾了起来。 我向他奔过去，喊着：“荷西，对不起。”我扑上去抱他，他用手围着我的背，紧了一紧，我们对视，发觉丈夫的眼眶红了。

阅读限时训练(四)

阅读限时训练（四） A On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me. The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it. I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me H eather's pajamas. As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.” Of course, I finally fell asleep. The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do --- I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls. Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife, ‘‘Elvis Presley died!” The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I, was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened. 21. The author had to spend the night at Peters' because _____. A. she enjoyed her cake there B. it was a routine of the party C. her mother allowed her to do so D. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that night 22. Mrs. Peters got angry because _____. A. her husband was rude to her B. Elvis Presley passed away C. she found the wet pajamas D. all the girls slept at her house 23. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was _____. A. a bad-tempered woman B. a fan of Elvis Presley C. a woman for perfection D. a woman who hated to wash pajamas 24. The passage is mainly about _____. A. an unfriendly hostess B. a fan-purchasing experience C. the shocking death of a famous singer D. an embarrassing childhood incident B Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot? You don’t have a clue where your car is after shopping. Then you start walking around clicking on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be annoying, especially on a hot sunny day. No, you needn’t install(安装) an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. That’s too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly fee to use it. But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based company has created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, which could be exactly what you’re looking for! What is it? It’s called TrackR. It is a state-of-the-art tracking device the size of a coin. It’s changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives. How does it work? It’s easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you’re ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less. You can attach it to your keys, briefcase, wallet, your latest tech gadgets and anything else you don’t want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to locate your missing item in seconds. If you forget where you have parked your car, pull out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “find device” button on the screen and the app will tell you the exact spot of the last known location of the TrackR. What else can I do with TrackR? The device is small and unnoticeable enough that you can attach it to your pet. Put it on their collar, and the issue of searching for them when they run away to nearby places will be over! You’ll never waste a minute searching the whole house for it. TrackR even comes with a double-sided glue so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat. Track down and punish the thieves who steal your expensive things! How much does it cost? You’re probably thinking that this device is very expensive. False! TrackR only costs $29! That’s a small price to pay for peace of mind, isn’t it? Where can I buy one? You can buy it directly from the company’s website by clicking here https://buy.thetrackr.co/gu/special-offers/15/ . 25. From the passage, we learn that TrackR can ______.

(完整版)2019年最新版中考语文专项集训：记叙文阅读(C卷)【含答案解析】

一、阅读下文，完成后面的题目。（16分） 改变命运的一分 办公室只剩下秦老师一个人的时候，门被推开了一条缝，像贼一样探进一颗瘦小的脑袋。脑袋的拥有者向办公桌怯怯地走近，怯怯地叫了声：“老师。” “查分数吧?你59分，全班就你不及格。”秦老师尽量控制自己的音量，努力展示她温和的一面。根据惯例，每次考试结束后办公室门口总会挤满迫不及待的学生，现在这个小男孩是班上最后一位来查分数的学生。 “老师，能不能，能不能……”把“能不能”呢喃了好几遍，小男孩才很难为情地抬起那一直比脖子还低的头，一张脸像涂满了红墨水，细得像丝线一般的声音哆嗦着穿过秦老师的耳膜，“能不能给我的作文加上一分?” “加分?这不好。作文打分得严格对照评分标准。”秦老师摇了摇头，面带歉意地笑笑，“你不用太放在心上，不及格老师不骂你就是了，以后认真些，争取期末拿个高分。” “可我妈……她会用竹鞭抽我的。”男孩带着哭腔，双手习惯性地往头顶挡，有竹鞭已经临头的感觉。秦老师沉默了，她理解家长望子成龙的热切，当然也不希望学生因贪玩而考试不及格，可管教孩子也犯不上动竹鞭。是不是给他加上一分?秦老师有点犹豫不决，她做事一向很讲原则，可偏偏长着一颗女人心。 不经意地瞧小男孩一眼，正迎上他瑟缩的眼神，秦老师的心猛然一震——在孩子晶莹的泪光中，在恐惧的战栗后面，清泉般的童真悄然流淌。哎!毕竟，他还是孩子，心还非常嫩。 “你看这样好不好?”秦老师灵感一闪，立刻以温暖的目光笼罩小男孩的全身，此刻小男孩正张着嘴，星星般的双眼涌动着期盼。“我在总成绩上给你加一分，但不是送，是借’要还的，期末你还我十分，怎么样?” “行，期末还你。”小男孩咬了咬嘴唇，就迈开脚步逃跑似的走出办公室。背后传来秦老师柔和的声音：“要好好念书，不要旷课去捉青蛙摸小鱼……” 因为一直惦记着那十分的“高利贷”，同时也由于对秦老师心怀感激，

Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most? This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father. I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would
