2024年中考英语考前必练题型之阅读理解（广州专用）
中考英语阅读理解主要考査学生在阅读过程中获取和处理信息的能力以及对阅读策略的掌握情况。阅读理解共四篇，内容涉及经济、文化、科技、生活等诸多领城;体裁包括记叙文、说明文、议论文以及各种应用文。中考阅读理解的题型主要包括细节理解题，推理判断题、词义猜测题以及主旨大意题。
复习方法
学生在阅读过程中要把握好文章的中心思想，同时注重文章的开头和结尾。
（1）对于细节理解题,要学会读准题目的关键词,尤其注意几个重点的疑问词,比如 when, where,what， why.who，how 等等，然后回归文章仔细找出关键词或句子。
（2）词义猜测题从以往考查对某个单词或短语的理解逐渐转变为对一整句话的理解，体现了语篇的完整性和实用性，学生在平时的阅读中一定要学会探索作者的写作意图。
（3）科普类的文章会是以后阅读理解的主要考查内容，这类文章在词汇量要求方面会比较高，预测大部分会以细节理解为主，也就是通过上下文可以迅速找出答案。学生在平时的练习中还要把精读和泛读相结合，在不断提高词汇量的同时，加强对文章中长难句分析的能力。
解题技巧
定位主题句。主题句的显著特点是所表达的意思具有明显的概括性，句子结构简单精炼。主题句一般位于段首或段尾。
再找关键信息。若文章或段落中没有主题句，就找关键词或关键句，然后根据对文章的理解归纳概括出文章的中心意思。一般来说，文章中的关键词常多次出现，它蕴含着文章的中心思想。
概括总结法。有些文章的主旨大意并不显现在文章里面，而需要阅读全文后进行归纳总结。

William Butler Yeats, was an Irish poet and dramatist and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century
literature. He was born in Dublin on June 13,1865, His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments however were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
Yeats is considered one of the few writers whose greatest works were completed after being awarded the Nobel Prize, which he won in 1923. He continued writing almost to the end of his life, producing his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, as there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between these ages. Such works include The Tower (1928) and The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1929).
After suffering from a variety of illnesses for several years, Yeats died in Menton, 1939. The last poem he wrote was the The Black Tower. After Yeats’s death, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the falling liners:
Earth, receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.

How do plants grow in space An experiment at the Tiangong space station can provide the answer. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗), which may show us how astronauts can cultivate food to support long-term space flights.
“The rice seedlings are growing very well.” Zheng Huiqiong, a scientist at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told China Daily. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, 2022, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高杆水稻品种) have reached a height of about 30 centimeters. Plus, the seedlings of the dwarf rice variety (矮秆水稻品种) have grown to around 5 centimeters.
While there have been other rice experiments in space, the one being conducted on Tiangong is the first of its kind. It aims to produce the complete life cycle of the plant, which begins with a seed and ends with a grown plant producing new seeds.
The astronauts will keep studying the plants. If the experiment is successful, they will collect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for further studies, Zheng added.
Since the 1980s, China has been taking the seeds of crops to space. But growing rice in orbit is a different challenge due to the hard conditions in space. Micro-gravity, no air and high-energy cosmic rays may make it hard for the plants to grow.
Rice has been the most important food for astronauts for a long time. US astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission—the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969—ate freeze-dried chicken and rice during their trip to
space.
If such an experiment goes well, astronauts will be able to grow their food in orbit, reducing how much food has to be taken on space flights.
1．What does “cultivate” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．find B．grow C．waste D．cook
2．What is the purpose of describing the heights of the rice varieties in Paragraph 2
A．To tell us about the scientists’ work. B．To make us interested in space exploration.
C．To show the rice experiment is going well. D．To introduce different types of rice seedlings.
3．What is special about the rice experiment being done on Tiangong
A．It’s the first rice experiment in space.
B．The gravity on Earth will influence the growing of the rice.
C．It’s the first experiment to try to produce rice in a complete life cycle.
D．If it works, the newly produced rice plant will be brought back to Earth.
4．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A．Future space missions. B．The importance of the rice experiment.
C．The best food choices for astronauts. D．Changes in astronauts’ food through history

Known as “soft gold”, Gambiered Canton gauze (香云纱) is the only silk fabric (织物) that’s still hand-dyed (手染的) using natural plants in the world today.
The skill has a history of more than 500 years. In 2008, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家非物质文化遗产). Ouyang Yongze is an inheritor of the dyeing skills from Guangdong. The man started learning the skills in 2017.
The dyeing process includes 30 steps. It can take up to six months and is done by hand with materials from
nature. “The plant shuliang (薯莨), river mud, sunshine, and grass are all important in dyeing,” Ouyang told China Daily.
To dye the fabric, workers put it in shuliang juice and let it dry on the grass. They repeat this many times until it turns brownish yellow. Then, they put river mud on it to help shuliang react fully. After washing and drying it again, the fabric turns black!
Mastering the skills is difficult, according to Ouyang, who put full effort into controlling the density (浓度) of shuliang juice. “Too much may cause color loss, and too little may nor lead to a dark enough fabric,” he said. “Better control of the density comes after many failures.”
Also, the job can be really tiring as workers have to be at work in the sun for 8 hours each day. Only a few people work in the industry, and skilled masters are getting older as fewer young people take part.
Considering this, Ouyang works harder to develop the traditional craft. He has got together other dyeing skills such as tie-dyeing (扎染法) and batik (蜡染) and has worked with famous fashion designers. They turn the silk into both traditional and fashionable clothes that are popular worldwide. He thinks this can help make the craft stay alive and drew people to the industry.
30．Which of the following is the right order of dyeing Gambiered Canton gauze
① Repeat many times until the fabric turns brownish-yellow.
② Dry the fabric on the grass.
③ Put the fabric in Shuliang juice.
④ Put river mud on the fabric to help shuliang react fully.
A．④②①③ B．①④③② C．②④③① D．③②①④
1．Which sentence can the underlined word “inheritor” in Paragraph 2 be put in
A．That company offers good value and service to every ________.
B．Every teenager should be a(n) ________ of our Chinese culture to pass it down.
C．Finally, Maria became the ________ of the singing competition.
D．Bell, the ________ of the telephone, made the first call.
2．What does paragraph 6 mainly talk about
A．The job is difficult but popular. B．Some artists are coming to help the workers.
C．Passing down the skills is challenging. D．The job seems to become easier than before.
3．What can we infer from the passage
A．Water is important in the color during dyeing.
B．Ouyang only fails a few times before he controls the density better.
C．There are no people taking part in this industry.
D．The dyeing process needs great patience, excellent skills and hard work.

I was shopping in Whole Foods Market when my cellphone rang. My daughter Julianna told me that she got the job she had applied for. She had just turned 14 and decided to spend this summer vacation on work. The things she wants are both long-term and immediate. She wants to freely buy things from Forever21 and save money for the famous college she’s decided to get into.
Several weeks before her birthday, Julianna asked me whether I’d allow her to work. Some of her friends’parents wouldn’t let their kids work, wanting them to focus on their studies and enjoy the last childhood freedom for as long as possible. I understood those parents. But I wanted her to spend less time on her electronic devices in her room and more time in the outside world.
The day after her birthday, Julianna immediately applied to an amusement park, which hires teens during busy summer months. I’d never seen Julianna so active. The day before the interview, we went over possible questions, including why she wanted to work at the amusement park, its most famous attraction, and what her previous work and volunteering experiences were. She seldom talked about anything else until the interview was over.
I never worked as a young teen. My husband, though, worked as a young teen at an amusement park. He shared some funny stories about his time working there. More importantly, the work contributed to his strong work
ethic (道德准则) today. Studies also show that work can contribute to healthy development and that teens who work at times are more likely to attend four-year colleges and get degrees quickly.
Julianna used to be so careful about new experiences, but now she is doing something new. I realize it’s time to put aside my doubts and worries and believe she can learn the skills she needs to take care of herself.

There was once a bat. For him, going out and hunting insects was a terrible amount of effort. He was a lover of comfort. One day, when he happened to look through a window, he saw a bird in its cage. He saw that the bird was given all its food and water without having to do anything at all. So, the bat decided to become a child’s pet.
The bat decided to improve his appearance to attract children’s attention. He made a beak（乌喙）, stuck a load of feathers to his body, and learned how to whistle so that his bat calls weren’t quite as horrible as before. And with great good fortune, he met a little boy who did not wear his glasses. He was so short-sighted that this strange-looking black little bird’s ridiculous（可笑的）appearance didn’t really matter.
The bat was happy in his cage, in a warm and comfortable house. But that feeling lasted only up to the time he started feeling hungry. When he wanted to eat there were no flies or insects for him, only a load of birdseed and cereal（谷物）, which the bat didn’t like. He was determined to die of hunger rather than sample that bird food.
Some days later, the bat-bird managed to escape from the cage and return home. He was so ashamed and embarrassed that he decided not to tell anyone what had happened. However, he couldn’t stop the other bats from commenting（评论）on how much effort he now made when they were out hunting flies, how strong and tough he had become, and how he no longer seemed to worry about the discomforts of living in freedom.

A high school student named Zach Selby found a way to help people who needed fruit. He noticed some organizations take extra（额外的）food from markets and give it to local food banks. Zach decided to start his own group in his neighborhood. He called the group Fruit For All.
To make Fruit For All successful, Zach needed volunteers and trees full of fruit. Zach asked community members to call him and tell him whether they had trees with extra fruit. At first he had difficulty in finding people who wanted to give the fruit. But as the news of Zach’s idea spread, some people got in touch with him. Soon, Fruit For All was really “growing”!

Michael Morgan was six years old when his father moved a neighbor’s unwanted piano into their living room.
“And that’s really where the whole thing started,” he says. “My mother and grandmother had played the piano a little bit, but my father just thought it was a good thing to have in the house.” Young Michael started piano lessons, but it was when he saw a conductor（指挥）leading an orchestra on television that he realized what he really wanted to do.
