2019中考(人新)英语八下U10阅读练习及答案
一、阅读理解:
A
As space science develops(发展), man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.
Scientists have found out that the radiation(辐射)is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm(伤害)of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective(有效的)medicine has been found so far.
Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion(爆炸)in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage(损坏).
Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.

No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is said that it began in the early 1900s. Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.
Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz.
The popularity (普及) of this music spread. By the 1920s, there were many famous jazz musicians, both black and white. And Louis Armstrong was the best one.
Louis Armstrong was a born musician. He was not only talented (有才能的) but also hard-working. He also had a good sense of humor and a big, good-natured smile. These personal qualities were valuable in his rise to fame. After he became famous, he traveled around the world. It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at the beginning.
Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated, and Louis lived with his mother who could hardly read. How hard their life was can easily be imagined. And yet Louis smiled through everything. He later wrote, “My whole life has been happiness. Life was there for me and I accepted it. Whatever happened has been beautiful to me. I love everybody.”

参考答案1—5 BCACC
D
When did you last say “I love you” to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 18.
Generally compared to a mother's gentle love, a father represents(代表) qualities like independence(独立), confidence, courage and adventure.
Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings.
For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and cooperating(合作),” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.
US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You don't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick(砖) every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on the TV show Charlie Rose.
“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters,” British poet George Herbert(1593—1632) once said. Do you agree?
1.What chance can you get on the coming Father's Day?
A.To express love to your father.
B.To remember your father's love.
C.To celebrate and relax yourself.
D.To get mountains of presents.
2.Which of the following belongs to a father's qualities?
A.Independence, confidence, courage and gentle love.
B.Confidence, patience, adventure and courage.
C.Independence, confidence, courage and adventure.
D.Confidence, courage, adventure and gentle love.
3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Bill Gates changed much with the help of his father.
B.Bill Gates liked parties very much when he was young.
C.Soccer and swimming were popular a long time ago.
D.A child should be quiet no matter where he or she is.
4.What does the sentence “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters” mean?
A.The growth of a child needs 100 schoolmasters.
B.One father is more important than 100 schoolmasters.
C.A father plays an important role in kids' growing.
D.Schoolmasters mean nothing to a child's growth.
参考答案:
[主旨大意] 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文章。文章主要讲述了父爱的力量,父爱代表了独立、自信、勇气和冒险,文章还举例讲述了父爱对孩子们的影响。有人说:一个父亲胜过100个老师。
1.A 细节理解题。承接第一段首句“你上一次对父亲说‘我爱你’是什么时候”,此处应该是指对父亲表达爱的机会。故选A。
2.C 细节理解题。由文章第二段“…a father represents qualities like independence, confidence, courage and adventure.”可知,父爱代表独立、自信、勇气和冒险。故选C。
3.A 段落大意题。由文章第四段可知,比尔·盖茨小的时候比较内向,父亲为此常举办家庭聚会,并支持他的爱好:游泳和足球。这些体现了父亲对他的帮助。故选A。
4.C 句子理解题。本文通过实例证明:父亲对孩子的影响至关重要。故选C。

Dear Tony,
How's everything going on with you? This afternoon, we had a class meeting. In class, we talked about the advantages of breakfast as well as the disadvantages of not having breakfast. As you know, you can't pay attention with an empty stomach. And you may feel good the whole day because of the delicious breakfast. Most importantly, you can improve the relationship with family members at breakfast. Though breakfast is the most important meal of the day, most students still miss it quite often. If you don't have breakfast, it will do harm to your brain, which makes you slow in reaction. More unluckily, it will lead to some illnesses. What's your opinion upon breakfast? Can you tell me something about your breakfast in the next email?
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.

They can detect(探测〉water waste and leakage(泄漏)and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.
Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App(应用程序〉that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people.

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may wash the dishes, put laundry away or take out the trash. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people don't think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator(育儿教育家) and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.
“Every house is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”
Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.

With the app ChoreMonster, kids can get digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.

参考答案:
[主旨大意] 孩子们帮家长做一些家务活应该得到奖励吗?有人认为不应该,做家务活是孩子们的责任,而不应该为了报酬才做家务;而另一些人认为应该得到报酬,孩子们应该被鼓励做更多家务活,一些应用软件也通过奖励来鼓励孩子们承担更多的家务活。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Many kids help parents to do chores in the house.”可知,许多孩子在家帮家长做家务活,随后又提到了他们会得到一些奖励,故前后有因果关系,孩子们得到奖励是因为他们帮家长做了家务活。故选B。

一、阅读理解。
A
Imagine one day, the water taps(水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.
The average (平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic(立方)meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
1. _____________ is the name of the capital city of Yemen.
A. Sana B. Lahej C. Hannan D. Times
2.A report shows that Sana will have ____________ as early as 2025.
A. enough drinking water to use B. no drinking water to use
C. no private companies D. more water pollution
3.What does the underlined word “shortage” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese?
A. 充足 B. 短缺 C. 干旱 D. 需求
4.We can infer(推断) from the passage that _____________.
A. the poor don’t have to worry about the water supply
B. the 18-year-old boy is from a poor family
C. private companies make a lot of money
D. Lahej is a beautiful place

1.A细节理解题。短文第二段中提到了Yemen这个国家,然后根据According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.可知,Yemen的首都是Sana,因此选A。
2.B 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.的这句话可知,根据一项报告,也门的首都萨那将在2025年用尽饮用水,也就是到2025年的时候,就没有饮用水了。故选B。
3.B词义猜测题。本题要求我们猜测shortage这个单词的意思,根据这个单词我们找到短文的第三段,Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply,政府减少水供应,可见也门这个国家的水出现了短缺。shortage短缺,故应选B。
4.C 细节理解题。根据短文第四段中Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices可知,私人公司拥有卡车,他们可以到城市的各处去卖水,并且是以很高的价格。由此可见,私人公司可以赚很多钱,故选C。
5.D主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们讲述了现在水资源的缺乏,尤其提到了也门这个国家,根据一项报告,也门的首都萨那到2025年的时候,就将没有饮用水了。也门政府也正在想办法解决这个问题。由此可知,D选项Yemen is Facing Serious Water Shortage这个题目概括了短文的大意,故应选D。

Rock climbing (攀岩) did not become a sport until late in the 1900s. But now it has become a popular outdoor activity.
If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not an easy
sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need practice. What most
people don’t know is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on
your body and will (意志).
To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. One of the important rules is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing is a wonderful sport. Once you start to learn how to climb, you'll find more fun. People who like games such as chess playing or problem-solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to get into beautiful shape, rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys a difficult game and loves the outdoors should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby.
( )1. Rock climbing _______.
A. has become a sport early in the 1990s

[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。作者从小就挚爱滑冰,对他来说,滑冰就是他人生的全部。但不幸的是,在一次表演中他摔倒了,并且伤得很严重,再也不能进行他心爱的滑冰运动。 在几个月的痛苦煎熬之后,他开始重新审视自己的人生道路。几个月后,作者开始对美术感兴趣,并逐渐走出了心理阴影并重新获得自信。他的人生经历让我们明白:当人生之路上有巨石挡路时,我们不能选择后退而是要设法爬过去。
1.B 考查连词辨析。分析上文“从很小的时候,我对自己想成为一名什么样的人就有很强烈的意识”以及下文“一次事故让我重新审视自己”之间应是转折关系,故选B。

三、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文,用英语完成思维导图。
Did you have any interesting dreams last night? Do you know everyone dreams? But not everyone remembers their dreams. A person can usually have up to seven dreams a night, and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes.
Why do we dream? Scientists believe that we dream to remember because dreams come from our memories and they tell us a lot about ourselves. They also help us learn from the past and even help us solve problems.
Different dreams mean differently to people. For example, if you dream about flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good time in your life. You may feel that other people see you as a leader. And when you dream that you didn't study for a test, it usually means you are worried about an important thing coming in your life.
参考答案:
1、remember 2、seven/7 3、reason(s) 4、dream(s) 5、happy

一、阅读理解。
A
It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.
Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in, and jumped. Then it was Millie’s turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn’t move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.
Millie’s friends cheered. “Go, Millie, go!”
Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.
The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.
Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.
"Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing," she said as she gave each student a short rope, "Ready, set. Go!"
Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quietly to herself.
After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, "Go, Millie, go!"
She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!

【解析】
试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是Millie的一节体育课,老师让学生们跳长绳,Millie不知道怎样跳,她试了一次,但是失败了。其实Millie会跳绳,只是因为没有人给她摇绳,所以她不会跳长绳。体育老师看到了这一幕,她让学生们比赛跳短绳,Millie最后赢了,她很开心。
1.C词义猜测题。根据短文的开头Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned以及Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.可知,Millie不会跳长绳,所以她排在队伍的后面。再根据下文Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class可知,Millie会跳短绳,而且跳得很好,所以她笑了。由此可知frown和smile的相反意思的词,故选C。
2.D 细节理解题。根据短文中Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.以及She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope可知,Millie不知道怎样跳进去开始跳长绳,所以她失败了。由此可知选D。
3.A 细节理解题。根据短文中Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. 和She was the only one still jumping rope!可知,Millie擅长跳短绳,她跳得时间最长,所以她第一次在体育课上笑了。由此可知选A。
4.B细节理解题。根据短文的最后一段的内容可知,Millie和其他同学比赛跳短绳,她跳得很好,其他同学都掉了,但是只有她还在继续跳着,故应选B。
5.A推理判断题。根据短文的最后可知,She was the only one still jumping rope…The whole class cheered,Millie和其他同学比赛跳短绳,她跳得很好,坚持到了最后。她是跳得最好的一个,全班同学都为她欢呼,因此她应该感到非常自豪,故选A。

Trinity Faith Moran, the 11-year-old fifth grader who stole the spotlight at Naeem Khan Fall 2016 Runway Show, has died.
Stylish Mary Alice Stephenson, who worked with Khan to dress Trinity for the catwalk, announced the sad news on Instagram.

In 2016, among all the models wearing super-sparkly dresses in Naeem Khan Fall 2016 fashion show, one new face stood out:Trinity Faith Moran. That's because at the age of 11, Trinity was much younger than the standard runway model. She was also not a professional!
Trinity suffered from a kind of life-threatening cancer, but she wasn't letting that hold her back from pursuing a career in fashion.
“A lot of people told me that I'm really pretty and that I should be a model sometime, so I decide to make it my wish,” Trinity said.
“She loves fashion very much, and the designer got down on the floor with her, listened to her and started sketching ideas,” Kimberly Rasmus, Trinity's mother, said. “They drew three different designs together and talked about what would look good on her. It was beyond our wildest dreams.”
“It's very rare for a designer to say yes to actually let a girl get up and walk the runway. The designer of the show was so open-hearted. He didn't even blink(眨眼),” said Mary Alice Stephenson. “Pretty clothes come and go, but the prettiest thing is making a difference in someone's life.”
