A(2019中考选练)How to Be a Better StudentMaybe you are a common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worried.There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover them after you have tried these.1.The writer gives you ______ methods to help you in the passage.A. Four.B. Five.C.Six. D.

A(2019中考保健与健康类选练)Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becomingshort-sighted, a research shows. It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in wea light.The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children.Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playingoutside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according tothe research?A. 30 minutes.B. 60 minutes.C. 90 minutes.D. 120 minutes.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children becausethey have more nowledge of protecting their eyesight.C. There will be fewer riss of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hoursa day playing outside.D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.3. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.参考答案1. D 2. C 3.

A(2019中考科普环保类选练)The world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70%of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97%of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is badfor fish, too.How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough dean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water i~ used only once and then sere out into a sewer system(下水道). From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won't be used up.1. The world is thirsty for waterbecause______.A.we don't have enough fresh waterB.a lot of water goes into sewer systems C.only 70% of the earth's surface is water D.sea water is widely used rather than fresh water2.

From this passage, we know acidrain________.A.is only bad for living thingsB.is not bad for buildings and factories C.can be produced in factoriesD.is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings4. One difficult way we can solve the problem is to ______.A.use the water with salt initB.remove the salt from sea water C.get water fromundergroundD.reuse the water in cities 5. What is the best title for this passage? A.Fresh water and seawaterB.A thirsty countryC.The importance ofwaterD.The world's water problem 参考答案ACDBDBDifferent countries have many different kinds of climate (气候).And in one big country people in different areas may often have different kinds of climates as well.

It seems that the starsare moving all the time.Actually, there is nothing wrong with youreyes. This twinkling effect is calledscintillation (交光). Scintillationhappens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travel s through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called theHubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.根据短文内容,选择最佳选项。

A(2019中考科普环保类选练)Every year when the Italian artist Michelangelo’s (1475-1564) birthday comes around, computer users all over the world are filled with fear (恐惧) and use their computers with care. Some may even choose not to turn on their computers on March 3rd. All this fear and care are just because a deadly computer virus is expected to cause damages(伤害)on that day.What’s a computer virus then? Why do people get so afraid of it?A computer virus is, in fact, a little program that is put into other programs and that does something bad.

It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right moment to make damages. And at the same time it keeps producing itself by copying itself onto other programs.The Michelangelo virus waits until the artist’s birthday comes around, and then it will wake up to do very bad things like destroying you files.(文件)So next time when you turn on your computer, look out for computer viruses!1.

Some creative people have invented some special bicycles. Here are three ofthem.BambikesBambikes are produced in a company in Philippines. They are made of an unusual kind of bamboo and other materials like metal and a local plant. They are very strong. And they are a perfect combination(结合) of the greenest building material and common bicycles. By making bambikes, the company offers jobs to the local people. Besides, it provides money for some students in its community to pay for their study. To continue the production, the company plants more bamboo than it cuts.The heaviest bicycleA German cycling lover, Frank Dose, has recently made the world's heaviest bicycle with big old wheels and lots of other waste materials. He created it just because of a bet(打赌) he made with his friend. The bicycle weighed 1.08 tons. It broke the world record of its kind in weight. Frank said his bicycle was surprisingly easy to ride although it had a huge size and weighed a lot. He rode it in front of 5,000 people for over 100 meters to prove it.Twisted(变形的) bicyclesTwo brothers in France created a bike that looks strange to ride and twists in the middle. Riders can make tight turns(急转弯). The brothers say the bicycle is hard to ride so it can stop people from stealing it. In fact, it isn't as hard to control as you may think. It takes a day or two to get used to the crazy way of riding. It's amazing. So far, there have been 30 of the bicycle, but they are not for sale yet.根据上述内容,判断下列句子正误,正确的为“T”,错误的为“F”。

The dragon is important for Chinese people. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”.

2019年中考英语:阅读理解优编题(七)及答案【实战训练】A(2019中考科普环保类选练)Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time—is considered (考虑,认为) a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (努力) as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also has an effect (影响) on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary (没必要) for them to learn special skills to do their work.1. What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean?A. Want to buy.B. Use at the same time.C. Take the place of.D. Search information from.2. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that__________.A. family members do not greet each otherB. family members do not eat at the family tableC. young people get on well with their familiesD. young people hardly communicate with their family members3. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.B. Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets.C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D. Multitasking influences young people’s development seriously.4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.C. Educators feel that young people don’t need to improve their study skills.D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children’s later study skills.5.

But when he took the blue coat,thereon the shelf behind all of the dark coats,hidden like a spring flowerin winter darkness,there,as if by magic,was a pink coat.“A pink coat!” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.”“That coat is smaller than the other ones,” Papa said.Sarah spoke up. “I'm small,too. Papa,please let me try it on,Mama? Please?”“It wouldn't hurt to let her try it on,” Mama said.Without a word,the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah.“Ohhh!” Sarah said.

In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower.“Sarah!” Mama said.Sarah looked up. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat.“I'm afraid the pink coat will only fit one year,” Mama said,taking a step closer.“And there's no one to pass it on to,” said Papa.And the shopkeeper said,“It's wise to save money.”Sarah backed away.

A(2019中考日常生活类训练)Though many countries have laws against the illegal ivory trade (反对非法象牙贸易), tens of thousands of African elephants are killed every year.In January, 2014, hundreds of elephant tusks (象牙) as well as ivory sculptures were put into two large crushing machines (粉碎机) in Guangdong, China. In all, more than six tons of ivory were destroyed. People called the event an ivory crush. In November, 2013, the similar event happened in Colorado, America. There, wildlife officials also destroyed more than six tons of ivory.Though it may sound strange, wildlife officials are crushing ivory to help save African elephants. Stephanie Wang, who works for the Wildlife Protection Society in New York City, says, “We try to let the world know that we don’t think ivory is valuable when it’s not on an elephant.”Each year, poachers kill elephants, cut off their long tusks and take the tusks out of Africa secretly. Then they sell the tusks and get thousands of dollars. The buyers use the ivory to make sculptures, jewellery and traditional medicines.The purpose of recent ivory crushes is to send a message to the poachers and those who buy illegal ivory. Stephanie Wang says, “China’s ivory crush is ‘an important step’. However, it is only a small amount (数量) of the illegal ivory. If we don’t stop the illegal ivory trade,African elephants could disappear from the wild within 10 years.”1. The writer mentions ______ ivory crush(es) in the passage.A. oneB. twoC.six D. twelve2. What can we infer from the passage?A. There are too many elephants in China.B. Chinese people can’t afford ivory sculptures.C. American people never buy ivory sculptures.D. Wildlife officials are against the ivory trade.3. What does the underlined word “poachers” mean in Chinese?A. 偷捕动物的人B. 热爱动物的人C. 虐待动物的人D. 训练动物的人4. According to Stephanie Wang, ______.A. it’s not a good idea to crush ivoryB. all of the ivory trade is in ChinaC. we should do a lot to protect African elephantsD. African elephants will disappear within 10 years参考答案1B 2D 3A 4CB平凡女孩的哈佛之路Not only kids of Tiger Moms go to Harvard.Dawn Loggins of Lawndale, N.C., is on her way to Harvard, one of the eight worldfamous universities in the eastern US.

For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving .Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit,So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position .This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often,very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbitthe Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.1.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A.

Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team didresearch on people’s waiting They found that Chinese people times at different road crossings from 2008 to 2010.would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost theirpatience. “People are likely to ignore( 忽略 ) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can stand,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that half of the respondents(检核对象)believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard(忽略)rules.“I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” wrote“Qixiaoe”on Weibo.Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum(最大批 ) can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking someactions, too.

AWhere can you learn about the cultural relics(文物) of our country? You may visit museums or read books,but now a CCTV show may give you a more fun way to learn about them.The show is called National Treasure. It has 10 episodes(集).

You might find a tear-jerking tragedy( 催人泪下的惨剧 ) is just the thing youneed to brighten your day.A team of researchers at Ohio State University, US, has found sad movies canmake people happier, Science Daily reported last month.Many people find tragedies make them realize how good their own lives are, the study showed.“People seem to use tragedies as a wa y to reflect on the importantrelationships in their own lives, ” said Silvia Knobloch -Westerwick, leader of the study. “Tragic stories often focus on themes of eternal( 永久的 ) love, and this leads viewers to think about their loved ones and count their good a nd helpful things. ”In the study, researchers gathered 361 college students and showed them the2007 movie, Atonement. The movie is about two lovers who are separated( 分别 ) and finally die during World War II. Before and after the movie, the students were askedquestions measuring( 权衡 ) how happy they were with their lives. Researchers also asked them before, after and three times during the movie to measure various emotions,including sadness.Researchers found that the sadder students felt while watching the movie, the more likely they were to think about real people they had close relationships within life. This increased their happiness after watching the movie.Knobloch-Westerwick explained that negative( 悲观的 ) moods make people more thoughtful.“Positive( 踊跃的 ) emotions show that everything is fine, you don ’t have to worry, you don’t have to think about problems in your life, ” she said. “But negative emotions, like sadness, make you think more critically about your situation. So seeinga tragic movie may make you sad, but that will make you to think more about your ownclose relationships and appreciate them more.”The link between watching a tragic story and feeling better has long beenrecognized. The ancient Greeks even had a word for the feeling of happiness after seeing something sad that led to the modern English word“catharsis (发泄)”.The study also showed that relationships are a very important source ofhappiness in our lives, so it is no surprise that thinking about your loved ones makes you happier, researchers said.1.Which of the following about the study of Ohio State University is NOT true?A. Only sadness is measured in the study.B. Students ’ emotions are measured by asking questions.C. The study shows relationships are a source of happiness.D. Those who felt sadder when watching the movie were more likely to be happier after that.2. Why are ancient Greeks mentioned in the passage?A. To introduce the meaning of the word“Catharsis”.B. To explain the importance of knowing how to become happier.C. To prove that they were of high intelligence and guessed its meaning.D. To tell readers the relationship between tragedies and happiness was found long ago.3. From Knobloch- Westerwick ’s explanation, we can learn th at.A. seeing tragedies makes you more thoughtfulB. positive emotions make you think more about your relationshipsC. negative emotions show you have no need to think about your situationD. after seeing comedies, you will appreciate your close relationships more4.

Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world.Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog (烟雾).Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air.We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car.

A(2019中考科普环保类选练)The world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70%of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97%of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough dean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water i~ used only once and then sere out into a sewer system(下水道). From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won't be used up.1. The world is thirsty for water because______.A.we don't have enough fresh waterB.a lot of water goes into sewer systemsC.only 70% of the earth's surface is waterD.sea water is widely used rather than fresh water2. The underlined word "face" means"______".A.turn the face down B.turn the face upC.turn the face to D.turn the face back3. From this passage, we know acid rain________.A.is only bad for living thingsB.is not bad for buildings and factoriesC.can be produced in factoriesD.is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings4. One difficult way we can solve the problem is to ______.A.use the water with salt init B.remove the salt from sea waterC.get water fromunderground D.reuse the water in cities5. What is the best title for this passage?A.Fresh water and sea water B.A thirsty countryC.The importance ofwater D.The world's water problem参考答案ACDBDBDifferent countries have many different kinds of climate (气候).And in one big country people in different areas may often have different kinds of climates as well. The United States has many different kinds of climate.On the northwest coast (海岸),the temperature changes very little between summer and winter.It is not hot or cold all the year around.But the people in the north central states have a verydifferent kind of climate.In those states,people wear light clothes in summer,and in winter they need to wear heavy woolen clothes.In the southwest coast of the United States,temperatures in summer are very different from those in winter.Summer is usually hot,and winter is usually cold.In spring the temperatures are warm,and in fall temperatures are cool.Many years ago,people in the cold parts of the United States didn't often get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits during the summer.Today,however,trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to the cold parts of the United States.In this way,Americans“send their climates”to people in other states.( )6.

It seems that the stars are moving all the time. Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is calledscintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Tele scope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better. 根据短文内容,选择最佳选项。
