中考英语阅读理解专项突破——词句猜测题
Passage 1
Six weeks before his 97th birthday, Giuseppe Paterno made his dream of a lifetime come true: He got a university degree.
Mr. Paterno’s story has been reported around the world, partly because of his age. But he has also drawn attention because his life story speaks of belief. He has encouraged millions of children in Italy and elsewhere while they are facing difficulties during the coronavirus pandemic（新冠疫情）.
Born in Palermo in 1923, the first of seven children in a very poor family. Mr. Paterno began working soon after finishing primary school. It was only after he retired in the mid-1980s that he returned to his books.
“His story shows that dreams can come true and that you can remain young—not in age but in spirit—if you develop interests,” said Rosella Cancila, his teacher of history at the University of Palermo.
Italy’s university system is based on a three-year degree, then a two-year master’s course. University officials are hoping that Mr. Paterno will continue his studies. △ “I have to say that in this moment, I don’t know whether I would keep on studying with the same spirit,” he said, adding that all the attention had made him a bit tired. Still, Mr. Paterno said that he would probably try to get his master’s degree but he hadn’t decided yet.

Passage 4
Walking
If you want to get healthy or stay healthy, there is one easy activity for you — walking. You may think that simply taking a walk is not enough to make a big difference. You may think that you need to do something like running to stay healthy. Well, a new study says that is not true. It finds out that walking may be as good for us as running.
Running is a high-impact (高强度的) activity and can be hard on the body. So, many people cannot run. Walking seems to have all of the advantages and none of the disadvantages of running.
Dr Russell Pate is a professor of exercise science at the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina. He says, “Walking is one of the easiest and safest exercises a person can do. You do not need to learn a lot to get results.”
Walking needs no special skills or equipment. You can do it anywhere. It fits easily into your daily schedule (日程表). You can walk at work. You can walk if you want to go shopping. You can take the stairs instead of the lift.
Walking is a great exercise for beginners. If you are out of shape or getting back into shape after an illness or accident, walking is perfect. You can do a little at a time, or as we like to say, take baby steps.
16．The new study shows that ________.
A．running is better than walking B．walking is the best way of exercising
C．walking and running are not good enough D．walking is as good as running
17．Dr Russell Pate says walking is one of the easiest and safest exercises because ________.
A．walking is a high-impact activity and can be easy on the body
B．walking needs no skills
C．walking needs no special skills or equipment, and we can do it anywhere
D．walking has more advantages than running

19．Which one is TRUE according to this passage
A．Walking is not good for a beginner.
B．Walking seems to have all of the advantages of running.
C．You’d better drive when you want to go shopping.
D．Walking does harm to all people after an illness or accident.
20．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage

B．To tell people that walking is a waste of time.

Passage 9
Nowadays, kuakuaqun or praise groups have become more and more popular on the Internet, Their aim is to comfort young people. These groups provide words of support for those who are unhappy.
Spending just a little money, you can enter such a group. Share your problems or success, and you will receive positive messages soon. These messages, mostly from strangers, will help you feel better. A leader of one of the groups talks about his first purpose, “I want to help people learn to praise others and accept others, praise.”
I like the idea of kuakuaqun. However, I think getting praise from strangers online isn’t very useful in the long run. This is especially true when you are paying for the praise. These people don’t know you, so the praise may not be earnest. Real and meaningful praise comes from the people you know.
With this in mind, we should try to praise our friends and family members when they need some encouragement. Simply saying to a classmate, ‘I like you’, can lift his or her confidence. Being kind to others is easy. And it adds the necessary sweetness to make everyone’s life better.
40．Words of support of kuakuaqun are mainly from _________.
A．students B．strangers C．relatives D．classmates
41．In kuakuaqun you can learn __________.
A．to fight with others B．to make friends with others
C．to draw some pictures D．to praise others and accept others’ praise
42．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “earnest”
A．勇敢的. B．大量的. C．真诚的. D．虚拟的.
43．Kuakuaqun is __________ according to the passage.
A．a book B．a magazine C．a computer D．an online group
