一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷

1．阅读理解

At some point in life, many people develop a mental (精神) problem.

While most people get over it, for others it doesn't go away easily.

The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020. It will become one of the main causes of illness, and even death.

In China, the picture isn't bright, either. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.

The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.

A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying (欺凌). In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source (渠道) of stress. Online, young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures", says the centre.

Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.

Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, "If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever."

"My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—ask for help," he told China Daily.

（1）Which of the following is NOT the cause of stress according to the passage?

A. Heavy schoolwork

B. Being bullied at school.

C. Some information from the Internet.

D. Certainty about the future.

（2）Why don't Chinese people ask for help with their mental problems?

A. They don't think them serious.

B. They can get over them in time.

C. They can keep their mental health secret.

D. They are afraid of being looked down upon.

（3）What does the underlined word "stigma" most probably mean in Chinese?

A. 羞耻

B. 印象

C. 援助

D. 危害（4）Elaine Peng advised the teenagers with mental illness to ______.

A. think less of themselves

B. avoid being bullied

C. ask for help as soon as possible

D. stay away from the Internet.

（5）The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

A. ask research centers for help

B. tell about teenagers' stresses

C. call public attention on teenagers with mental illness

D. show some different opinions from different countries

【答案】（1）D

【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述世界上许多人有精神疾病，到2020年世界上有一半的青少年患精神方面的疾病。精神疾病将成为主要的疾病甚至导致死亡，研究表明引起精神异常的原因是压力过大而没有及时找医生疏导导致的。

On a farm lived a father and a son. The father always got up early and read books by the stove. One morning, the son came up to him and said, "Dad, I read books at night but forget most of them the next morning. What's the good of reading?"

The father didn't reply to his question at once. He passed him a basket that was used to carry coal. He said, "Get some water from the river with the basket and then I'll tell you the answer."

The son felt surprised but he did as his father said. He tried many times but every time the water leaked (漏掉) from the basket.

An hour later, the son came back with the empty basket and told his father it was impossible to hold water with the basket. The father said with a smile. "Yes, you are right, my son.

3．阅读理解

One Saturday, we were preparing to go away for the weekend when my daughter heard cries for help. When I went out, I discovered our elderly neighbor had fallen on her front steps. She was clearly in pain, so I helped her inside her house and settled here on the bed.

I noticed her room was very narrow and dark. It was obvious she hadn't cleaned it for a long time. She insisted she didn't need an ambulance（救护车）and that someone would be around soon, so I left her with a bottle of water at her side.

As I left I felt sad when I realized that we hadn't communicated with her, except a few smiles, for the past 18 months. She didn't know my name and I didn't know hers, and I hadn't even

noticed that she hadn't been outside for weeks because of bad pain in her back.

That weekend I visited my grandmother for her 80th birthday and noticed how clean and spacious her flat seemed in comparison to my neighbour's. My neighbour, as far as I knew, had no family regularly dropping by.

When I returned home I went to visit her. Very grateful to see me, she explained she was okay. Yet, unable to bend down due to her back, her kitchen was filling with garbage that she was unable to take out by herself.

We've become good friends and chat every second day. She keeps thanking me for my kindness, but I enjoy helping her. Now, every time I return from putting out her garbage, collecting her mail or just chatting, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction and peace.

【解析】【分析】本文讲述了一个偶然的机会作者看见邻居摔倒在门前，他把邻居扶进屋后发现，邻居家很脏乱，原来她是一个孤寡老人，后背因为疾病不能弯曲。作者很触动，对比了自己的祖母，他觉得邻居很无助。于是他开始经常和她聊天，帮她做一些理所们能及的家务事。

（1）细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“When I went out, I discovered our elderly neighbor had fallen on her fron t steps. ”可知当作者一家要离开时，一位老邻居摔倒了。故选D。

（2）细节理解题。根据第三段“ As I left I felt sad when I realized that we hadn't communicated with her, except a few smiles, for the past 18 months. She didn't know my name

and I didn't know hers, and I hadn't even noticed that she hadn't been outside for weeks because of bad pain in her back.”可知作者虽然与老人是邻居，却几乎和她没有交流，也不知道彼此的名字，甚至她的后背有疾病都不知道。故作者感到很难过觉得没有关心到邻居。故选B。

（3）词义推理题。根据前文作者形容老邻居的房子是拥挤昏暗的。后文提到祖母的家是与老邻居的家形成鲜明的对比的，故是明亮的宽敞的，故spacious的意思是大的，宽敞的。故选C。

（4）归纳总结题。根据阅读文章可知，前三个选项文中都没有提到。根据最后一段第二句“ She keeps thanking me for my kindness, but I enjoy helping her.”可知老邻居对作者给予她的帮助非常感谢。故选D。

4．阅读短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

B

We are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap, even are over the moon. Without doubt, good results make us joyful. However, we can not always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can't help doubting, "Are our efforts in vain?" The answer is "No". We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we've reached, but also by how we've acted, which means the process(过程)is also important.

Here is an example. Fruit is delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear it. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destruction(故意破坏) from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a destination（目标）, dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own feet.

I myself deeply believe that only those who have experienced a lot can own the highly-valued character; only those who have taken a lot of adventures can have the chance to succeed. As the saying goes, "No pains, no gains." We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(犹豫) to take an adventure?

Young men, let's forget results, leave out pains, and just look forward and don't miss any chance on the journey!

（1）Reaching our goals will make us ________.

A. laugh at others

B. be over the moon

C. asset another goal

D. forget our efforts （2）What does the underlined phrase "in vain" mean in Chinese?

A. 值得

B. 益处

C. 高效

D. 徒劳（3）The writer gives an example of fruit in order to say _________.

A. fruit is delicious

B. people can also suffer a lot in life

C. it's hard for a tree to bear fruit

D. we should grow trees to get good fruit

（4）Only those who __________ will get the good character.

A. have gone through a lot

B. work very hard

C. believe that things will be better and better

D. believe in themselves

（5）What's the best title for this passage ?

A. Stand on Our Own Feet

B. Process Is Also Important

C. Don't Doubt Yourself

D. Failure Is the Mother Of Success

【答案】（1）B

（2）D

（3）B

（4）A

（5）B

【解析】【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了做任何事情的过程对我们来说也很重要。

（1）细节理解题，根据第一段We are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap, even are over the moon.可知当我们达到目标时，我们很兴奋，在那一刻，我们笑，鼓掌，甚至感觉在月亮上，故选B。

（2）词义猜测题，根据第一段"Are our efforts in vain?"可知这句是说“我们的劳动是徒劳的吗”，故选D。

（3）细节理解题，根据第三段In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destruction(故意破坏) from human beings. So it is with us. 可知作者给出水果的例子是为了说明我们在生活中也会遭受很多，故选B。

（4）细节理解题，根据倒数第二段 I myself deeply believe that only those who have experienced a lot can own the highly-valued character; 可知只有那些经历过很多的人有高尚的品格，故选A。

（5）主旨大意题，通读全文可知作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了过程也很重要，故选B。【点评】这篇短文内容比较简单，理解不难，但是文章较长，需要仔细阅读。

Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother's Camp(营地). There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family?Some women say they need time to be alone.

At Mother's Camp a woman has room for herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, “Mom, what's for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks.” In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home for a second job—taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.

In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can't find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.

Some women go to Mother's Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don't cook, they don't clean and they don't look after their children and husbands. What do they do?They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home.

6．阅读理解

Many years ago, I was a very shy girl at my school. I couldn't forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly stopped me, “Masha, I know you're shy, but you worked hard on this project. If I give you another chance tomorrow, can you find your courage?

I had nodded. I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. When I got home that day, I could see an inviting light from the kitchen windows. Momma was backing. When Momma backed, I always watched and chatted with her. She said it was my company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.

Momma studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “What's wrong, Masha?” Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out. Momma was silent for a moment. Then she said, “Let me show you something.”I followed Momma to her bedroom and carefully took out a blue ribbon that said “First Place” from it.

“I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. I won it for public speaking. It wasn't easy—I was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”

That was the second time someone had told me that. I followed Momma back to the kitchen.

What was it that made me so afraid? Soon Momma's sweet cake rose in the pans, and the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage. Momma put a thick piece in front of me. “ There's nothing better for heartache than Momma's love baked in a cake.”

I raised a forkful of warm cake to my mouth. All the fear in the world could not take away Momma's love. I felt safe in Momma's kitchen. It was warm from the bottom of the heart.

The next day I walked to the front of the classroom to give my presentation again. As I faced the class, I remember the ribbon and the smell of Momma's kitchen and then took a deep breath and began to speak with confidence. Finally I succeeded.

（1）Why was Masha unhappy that day?

A. She was not good with her classmates.

B. Her teacher criticized her.

C. She didn't perform well in front of the class.

D. She failed in an exam.

Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree（有分歧） 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 car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, 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.

That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter （笑声）Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. "Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr. Kataria. "Everyone is naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over l,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects （效果） of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed-and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! （1）The first Laughter Club was started in __________. A. India B. America C. Britain D. China （2）How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today? A. Over 300. B. Over 500. C. Over 800. D. Over l,300. （3）How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class? A. Surprised. B. Pleased C. Nervous. D. Tired. （4）When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real? A. After ten minutes. B. After ten hours. C. After ten seconds. D.

中考英语阅读理解100篇：中考英语阅读理解真题及答案（1） Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family. “I wish you a Happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head. “You are not from this country.” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.” When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. “I have bought no books”, said he. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.” “My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift” “I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.” 48.
