2020中考英语选练习题含答案
Passage A
Do you consider failure as an ending? Do you often feel after a failure that you are good for nothing? Then be careful, you are one of them who have bad relationship with failure. And this is the only reason why people often keep themselves away from their success. The power of failure is that it helps us to learn fro our mistakes and missteps and we must consider a failure as an opportunity to grow rather than giving up.
Let's discover the reasons why successful people believe that opportunity lies in every failure.
Disappointment or failure shows that you are trying
The best way to gauge(衡量)your progress at something is to see how many times you failed. In case you haven't failed yet, chances are that you haven't tried hard yet.
Look at all successful men and women throughout our history, they all had one thing in common. That's to say they failed not once but several times before they achieved success. Let's take an example of Thomas Edison: he failed a lot of times to find right filament(灯丝)for his light bulb. Henry Ford had a stronger relationship with failure, which inspired him to quote this unforgettable saying “failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.”
Achievement lies in looking at failure as an opportunity
Just like every successful person had one thing in common, similarly all unsuccessful persons throughout our history had one thing in common --- their inability to use failure as an opportunity and a tool. If you feel your one failure is your ultimate (终极的)failure, and that feeling of sinking down is known as an ultimate failure, you are pushing yourself away from your expected success. Achievement is all about finding out what mistakes you made, what is the main cause of that failure, and how you are going to make up for it.
Success requires willpower, passion, hard work, intelligence, determination, but all of the above, success requires failure. Use your failure as an opportunity to learn, to become wiser and to reconsider your relationship with failure, the true key to success.
1. According to the writer, why do people keep themselves away from their success?
A. Because they don't set long-term goals.
B. Because they haven't got enough time.
C. Because they can't deal with failure properly.
D. Because they are disappointed in themselves.
2. Why does the writer take the example of Thomas Edison?
A. To explain the reasons for failure.
B. To prove the importance of failure.
C. To take pride in Thomas Edison.
D. To introduce the process of making a light bulb.
3. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Failure can build up your confidence.
B. Successful people seldom failed.
C. Failure is more important than success.
D. Successful people use failure as a tool.
Passage B
William Blake described the eyes as the “windows of the soul”. Our eyes are the windows through which we see the world around us. Either way,there's no question that we place great value on our eyes and our eyesight. Surveys have shown that of the five senses,sight is the one that people fear losing the most.
Thinking about the important function of our eyes,we should give them the best care possibly, but sometimes we get too busy or forget to do a few simple things that can keep our eyes healthy.
Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you that carrots would improve your eyesight. Well,she might be right. Proper food will keep your eyes strong and healthy.
Give up your daily habits that could seriously injure your eyes. Always wear sunglasses in a sunny day to protect your eyes from Ultraviolet ray(紫外线). Rest your eyes every 20 minutes from the computer screen by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15?minute break when working at a computer.
Make sure your eyes do not get injured in the first place. You should try to prevent eye injuries whether you're playing sports or doing housework. You should also know when to wear safety glasses and what kinds will work best for you.

Passage C
Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly(蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle(挣扎;奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.
?????? When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life.

Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
?????? Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow.

Passage G
It’s all about patience(耐性) really.
Chinese walkers, who usually walk the red light together, may be surprised at recent research which showed that they are more patient than people abroad.
A study looked at more than 1,800 walkers at three busy Shanghai crossings(交叉路口). It found that an average Chinese walker ran out of patience at red lights after 90 seconds. But there’s an interesting fact: the average German’s endurance ability(耐性) was around 60 seconds while the British only 45 seconds and the American 40 seconds.
People will take no notice of the red lights when the waiting time exceeds(超过) their patience time. “A lot of Chinese traffic lights are car-friendly instead of walker-friendly,” said Ni Ying, who led the research team. As there are more and more car users in the city, city planners are giving them more convenience on the roads, according to her.
The study also found that at some crossings, walkers waited longer than 150 seconds, and at other crossings the wait could be as long as 200 seconds. However, most red lights abroad do not exceed 120 seconds.
The study suggested that planners should think about the walking pace(步幅) of people from different age groups, especially middle-aged people and seniors, in order to make the roads more walker-friendly. But the city’s traffic police do not agree. They argue that the roads are built not just for the walkers, but also for cars. “To give more time for walkers would cut down the time for cars,” a traffic policeman said. “On a busy traffic day, it can make traffic worse.”
1. Who are the most patient among the people from four different countries?
A. The Chinese. B. The German. C. The British. D. The American
2. According to the passage, Chinese walkers walk the red light because________
A. they are not afraid of the traffic police.
B. they are not friendly to car users.
C. there is often something wrong with the red lights.
D. the waiting time at the crossings is too long.
3. What does “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. City planners. B. Walkers. C. Car users. D. The research team.
4. How could roads become more friendly to walkers according to the study?
A. By taking away the traffic lights.
B. By making the roads wider and look nicer.
C. By changing the waiting time according to people’s walking pace.
D. By stopping the middle-aged people from walking across the roads.
5. Which of the following will the traffic police agree with?
A. It’s right to give more time to walkers.
B. Reducing time for car users will make traffic worse.
C. We should encourage people to walk instead of driving.
D. We should build more roads to meet the need of different people.
