2024年中考英语复习拔高特训之阅读理解之六选五（山西省）
A
The International Day of Happiness, which falls on March 20 every year, reminds people of the importance of happiness. 1
According to Martin Seligman, a US psychology professor, happiness is about doing things that are engaging and meaningful. 2 “Meaningful” means using our strengths to help others or to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
Psychologist Dan Baker says our purpose doesn’t have to be huge. For example, a 17-year-old’s purpose might be to get into their preferred college. 3
After understanding what happiness is, you might wonder what affects our happiness.
4 According to Sonja Lyubomirsky, a US psychology professor, about 50 percent of our happiness comes from genes (基因), 40 percent from our intentions (意图), and 10 percent from our circumstances (境况).
Life circumstances like getting a new car or a promotion don’t lead to long-lasting happiness because we get used to them. To keep feeling happy, we need to control how we act and think.
5 When we were kids, we felt happy when we got attention and things from our family and friends. As we get older, we realize that caring for others is important, and being selfless brings fulfillment (满足).
A．Scientists found that people are born with happiness.
B．Are you feeling happy now
C．But what is happiness and how can we be happy
D．“Engaging” means being so absorbed in what we do that we forget about time.
E．Happiness also changes as we grow up.
F．For a parent, it could be getting their kids ready for school every day.

Can you believe it’s already the fourth month of the year April! 6
The names of the months in English come from ancient Rome(古罗马), now the capital(首都) city of Italy. It was also the capital city of a large country thousands of years ago. 7 It is the second month on the calendar of ancient Rome, and then it becomes the fourth month of a
year.
8 Some people say it comes from the word “Aperire” in the Latin language(拉丁文)—the main language in ancient Rome. 9 In this month, the sky is open. It often rains. The trees become green. Grass and flowers come out. Others say that April comes from the Greek word for “Aphrodite”, the Greek goddess(女神) of love and beauty. 10 Do you like this name
It may always be a story where “April” gets its name from, but we don’t see this month going anywhere soon. What do you think people will talk about when the month of April is 3,000 years old
A．People there call the month “Aprilis”.
B．Today people are still not sure where April gets its name from.

9．根据下文“In this month, the sky is open. It often rains. The trees become green. Grass and flowers come out.”可知，在四月份，经常下雨，树变绿了，草长出来了，花也开了，所以此
空应是选项D“它意味着‘开放’，所以它可以指春天的花盛开。” 符合语境。故选D。
10．根据上文“Others say that April comes from the Greek word for ‘Aphrodite’, the Greek goddess(女神) of love and beauty.”和下文“Do you like this name ”可知，此空的内容应与名字有关，此空应是选项F“甚至到现在，April仍是一个很受欢迎的女孩名字。” 符合语境。故选F。

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. 56 Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (慷慨的); be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. 57
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead, you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, your hobbies and interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. 58 They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better.
Everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. 59 Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving it. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

The International Day of Happiness, which falls on March 20 every year, reminds people of the importance of happiness. 1
According to Martin Seligman, a US psychology professor, happiness is about doing things that are engaging and meaningful. 2 “Meaningful” means using our strengths to help others or to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
Psychologist Dan Baker says our purpose doesn’t have to be huge. For example, a 17-year-old’s purpose might be to get into their preferred college. 3
After understanding what happiness is, you might wonder what affects our happiness.
4 According to Sonja Lyubomirsky, a US psychology professor, about 50 percent of our happiness comes from genes (基因), 40 percent from our intentions (意图), and 10 percent from our circumstances (境况).
Life circumstances like getting a new car or a promotion don’t lead to long-lasting happiness because we get used to them. To keep feeling happy, we need to control how we act and think.
5 When we were kids, we felt happy when we got attention and things from our family and friends. As we get older, we realize that caring for others is important, and being selfless brings fulfillment (满足).
A．Scientists found that people are born with happiness.
B．Are you feeling happy now
C．But what is happiness and how can we be happy
D．“Engaging” means being so absorbed in what we do that we forget about time.
E．Happiness also changes as we grow up.
F．For a parent, it could be getting their kids ready for school every day.
B

Nowadays, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. 47 Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands. Customers can give their old computers back to the brands and get a new one in lower price as well.

Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations (组织) are working on this problem. 49 They also teach others how to repair computers. These repaired computers then will be sent to schools, charities or people who need them. 50 At the same time, it helps cut down waste too.
