2023年中考英语短文阅读（说明文）专题练习（附答案）
一、阅读理解
根据短文内容判断正、误。
There were
once two brothers who lived on the 80th floor. On coming home one day, the
lifts were not working and they had to climb the stairs home.
After
struggling (挣扎)to the 20th
floor, they decided to throw down their bags and come back for them the next
day. They left their bags and climbed on. When they got to the 40th floor, the
younger brother started to complain (抱怨) and both of
them began to quarrel (吵架). They continued quarreling
all the way to the 60th floor.
They then
realized that they had only 20 floors to climb and decided to stop quarreling
and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their
home. Each stood before the door and waited for the other to open it. But they
realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.
This story
is like our life. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents,
teachers and friends when we are young. We seldom get to do the things that we
really love and are under so much stress that by the age of 20, we get tired
and decide to drop something.
Free from
the stress, we work excitely with dreams. But by the time we reach 40 years
old, we start to lose our dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to
complain. The life is hard as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize
that we have little left for complaining any more, and we begin to walk the
rest years in peace.
We think
that there is nothing left to let us down, only to realize that we could not
rest in peace because we have an unfinished dream--a dream we threw down 60
years ago.

Researchers at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, a State—owned defense contractor, have developed and made the world's first robot whale shark（鲸鲨）.
The robotic shark has been on display in an aquarium（水族馆）at Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park since January.
A whale shark is a slow—moving carpet shark and the largest known living fish.
Designed and built by engineers at the Shenyang—based No 111 Factory, the underwater robot is 4.7 meters long, weighs 350 kilograms and can move 42 meters a minute.
Powered by a lithium battery, it can swim, turn, float and dive like a real shark by moving its mechanical fins（鳍）. The mouth and gills（鳃）can also open and close like a shark's. The biomimetic shark is made of sensors（传感器）, multi-joint fins, batteries, and systems which enable it to avoid what's in the way in all directions.
"The robot can reach a depth of 10 meters and work for as long as 10 hours, "said Fang Xuelin, a senior researcher in charge of the robot shark program.
"The shark can be remotely controlled and can also swim based on preset programs or its own sensors, "he said.
"We have built multiple kinds of robot fishes.…he robotic whale shark is the largest mechanical fish we have made so far, "Fang added. "Our robots are to serve three purposes—to perform in aquariums for entertainment, spread knowledge about the sea and aquatic（水生的）animals among youngsters, and carry out scientific tasks such as hydrological surveys, underwater photography and environmental inspection. "
"The factory now plans to develop more types of aquatic robots, including some extinct mammals（哺乳动物）, for display in parks and schools. It will also promote the products to businesses engaged in fields such as underwater salvage and mineral prospecting, "he said.
