中考阅读理解训练题Passage1We knowthat manyanimals donot stayin one place.Birds,fish andother animalsmove fromone placeto another at a certain time.They movefor differentreasons:most of them move to find food more easily,but othersmove to get away from placesthat aretoo crowded.When coldweather comes,many birdsmovetowarmer placesto find food.Some fishesgive birthinwarm water and moveto coldwater tofeed.The mostfamous migration（迁移）is probablythe migrationoffish,which is called“salmon”.This fishis bornin fresh water butit travelsmany milesto salt water.There it spends itslife.When it is old,it returnsto its birthplace infresh water.Then itgives birthanddies.In northernEurope,there is a kindof mouse.They leavetheir mountainhomes whenthey becometoocrowded.They movedown to the lowland.Sometimes theymove all the wayto the seaside,andmany of them arekilled whenthey fallinto thesea.Recently（近来），scientists havestudied themigration of a kindof lobster（龙虾）.Every year,whenthe seasonof thebad weatherarrives,the lobstersget intoa longline andstart towalk across the floorofthe ocean.Nobody knowswhy theydo this,and nobodyknows wherethey go.So,sometimes weknowwhy humansand animalsmove fromone placeto another,but atother timeswe dont.Maybe livingthingsjust like to travel.A.give birth B.enjoy warmerweatherC.findfood moreeasilyD.find beautifulplacesA.saltwaterB.rivers C.fresh waterD.itsbirthplaceEurope movewhen.A.they givebirthB.the placegets toocrowdedC.the weatheris badD.they haventenough foodA.to thefreshwaterB.atacertaintimeC.to theundersea D.to findmore foodA.Animals moveto findfoodmoreeasily.B.The migrationof thefish called“salmon is the mostfamous migration.C.Living thingsmove fromone placeto anotherbecause theyliketotravel.D.Sometimes weknow whyand howliving thingsmove fromoneplacetoanother,but sometimeswedont.Passage2If youlook at the skyone nightand seesomething movingand shiningthat youhave neverseen before,it mightbe a comet（彗星）.A cometsometimes lookslike a star.Like aplanet,a comethas nolight ofits own.It shinesfrom thesunlightit reflects（反射）.Like the earth,a cometgoes roundthe sun,but on a muchlonger path（轨道）than the earth travels.If a comet isntastar,what isit thenSomescientists thinkthat alarge partof acomet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with ironandrock dustand perhapsa few big pieces of rock.When sunshinemelts（融化）the icein thecomet,great cloudsof gasgo trailingafter it.These clouds,together with the dust,form a long tail.Many peopleperhaps have seen acomet.However noone knowshow many comets there are.There maybemillions ofcomets,but only a fewcome closeenough forus tosee.An Englishmannamed EdmundHalley,who livedfrom1656to1742,found out a lotabout thepathsthat cometstake through the sky.Some cometsmove outof oursight andnever comeback.“Hot sunwill dryout a snail sbody.So at the leastsign ofhot sun,a snail draws its body intohis shell.”一句的意思，尤其是要仔细考虑关键词“into”对猜测词义的辅助作用，可知蜗牛一旦碰到炙热的太阳，就会把身体蜷缩进壳里“Its eyes,at theend of the topfeelers are very weak.”这句话So when it rains,a snaildoes the same thing,too.这句话中的“thesame thing”的意思事实上,由“In thespring the snail wakesup.comes outfrom theshell.”和“,•,in a hard paper box,it willeat itswayout!”是很容易排除B、C和A的“And ifa snailwears out its teeth,it willgrow newones.，可以判断C项是明显的错误Passage10【答案与解析】这是一篇关于宇宙知识的科普短文在太阳系中，木星是最大的一颗行星围绕其旋转的卫星有很多科学家们首先发现的是离它较近的五颗名叫“内部月亮”的卫星,它们是以逆时针方向绕其旋转的木星的不计其数的中间月亮团也是以逆时针方向绕其旋转的但它的最近的四个“外部月亮”却是以顺时针方向绕其旋转的

1.选D文中介绍Jupiter（木星）是最大的行星，地球只有一个月亮，而木星至少有16个，甚至更多由此可见，solar system即为太阳系，木星同地球一样都是太阳系中的行星

2.选A“clockwise directionn指顺时针方向”文中对counter-clockwise direction”的解释是uopposite of the handsof aclock即“逆时针方向专业打造教育平台航母

3.选D最远的四个月亮称为“outer moons”,它们以顺时针方向转

4.选A由文中“The numerals（numbers）tell thesequence,or order,in whichthe moons were found.”这句话可知

5.选C统观全文，可知选项A、B不符合文意，根据常识判断，选项D也不正确再由环绕木星旋转的月亮团以依次发现的时间为序，由此推理可得出“the inner moons werediscovered first”

agoAtree willgrow wellin aclimate（气由矣）with lots of sunshine and rainfall.And littlesunshine orrainfallwill limit件艮制J）the growth of climateby studying the treerings.For example,to findout theweather of ten years ago,count therings of a treefrom theoutside to the inside.If the tenth ring is farfrom the eleventh ring,then were sure that it was sunny and rainy most of thatyear.If it is nearto theeleventhring,then theclimate thatyear wasbad.Tree ringsare importantnot only for studyingthe history of weatherbut alsofor studyingthe historyofman.Many centuriesago therelived alot ofpeople ata

eatmeat,but animalslive onplants.If thesewereno plants,we shouldhave noanimals andmeat.So thesoil isnecessary forlife.The topof groundis usuallycovered withgrass orother plants.Plants growin soil,which has a darkcolor.This darksoil ishumus,dead leaves,dead plantsand animalwaste makeit,but thistakes alongtime.When the humus hasbeen made,plants cangrow wellin it.All soilneeds food.If wedon tgive itany,the plantswill beweak.Animals wasteisthebest foodfor thesoil,but chemicalfertilizers（化月巴）are alsovery useful.The samecrop shouldnot be grown in thesame placeevery year;it isbetterto have a different crop.A changeof cropand theuse ofa goodfertilizerwill keepthe landin goodcondition.When thesoil isdry,the windblows itaway.Sometimes heavyrain carriesthe humusdown toa river.People

animals这一关键词语，便可排除其它选项在第一段最后一句中可找到答案的出处“salmon”的情况在第二自然段中作了叙述这种鱼出生在淡水中，后不到咸水地区居住，在那里度过一生中绝大部分时光到老了以后又回到它出生之时的淡水之中仔细分析题干中的“spend alonglife”和短文中的关键句“There itspends itslife.”便可断定答案为A“they leavetheir mountainhomeswhen theybecome toocrowded.v——句是答案的出处“salmon”Passage2【答案与解析】本文向我们介绍了有关彗星方面的知识与地球一样，彗星也是绕太阳旋转的，它本身不发光，靠反射太阳的光而发亮短文中还介绍了彗星的成因，它拖着的长尾巴是如何形成的以及著名的哈雷彗星名字的由来“Like theearth,acometgoes roundthesun,but•一”是判断本题的根据“・・・iswaterfrozenintopiecesoficeandmixedwithiron androck dustand perhapsafewbigpiecesofrock.”这句话即能得出答案“Many peopleperhaps haveseenacomet.“可知“Some cometsmove outof oursight

1986.这句话的意思，即可得到答案Passage3【答案与解析】这篇短文介绍的是有关植物年轮方面的小知识由于树木的生长要受到阳光、降水等方面的影响，从一棵树上的年轮分布情况上，可以推断出树木所生长地方以前的气候状况年轮不仅对科学家研究地球上的气候环境有非常重要的参考价值,而且更为有趣的是,它还能帮助科学家们研究人类的历史呢“If thetenthringis farfromthe eleventhring,then weresurethatitwassunnyandrainymostofthatyear.一句即是答案所在“Do youknow theycan tellus whatthe weatherwas like…”和第三段的首句Tree ringsare importantnotonlyforstudyingthehistoryofweather-•,”者B有所暗示“・・・tofindout theweatheroftenyearsago,count therings ofatreefromtheoutside tothe inside.If thetenthringisfarfromtheeleventhring,・・”一句中Passage4【答案与解析】土壤是人类赖以生存的自然条件之一没有了土壤或者是土壤受到了较为严重的破坏，就会直接危及到人类的生存本文在阐述土壤的成因、特性和重要性之后，呼吁大家都要保护土壤“This darksoil ishumus,dead leaves,dead plantsand animalwaste makeit,but thistakesalongtime.”“People shouldgrow moreand moretrees andgrass tostop windfrom carryingthehumusaway.”这一句话之中“When thehumus hasbeen made,plantscangrow wellin it.”和“It takeshundredsofyearstomakehumus,”这两句话所表达的意思，可知答案只能是DPassage5【答案与解析】在大海的温水区域，我们常常可以发现一些珊瑚岛本文向我们描述了珊瑚岛形成的自然过程文章最后，作者有感而发，以问句结束全文，发人深思，耐人寻味“在海中较暖和的水域，常有一些珊瑚岛”这一事实A显然是不对的“A coralisland isvery nicetolookat.It lookslike aringofland withtrees,grass,andflowersonit.这句话不难得出答案“In eachof theseholes averysmallsea animalhas lived.These seaanimalsmakethecoral.“一句中“Sometimes birdsflew overit andbrought seedstotheisland.v这句话对此有明确的说明Passage6【答案与解析】地震是地球上对人类生存构成威胁的最严重的自然灾害之一科学家们经过研究，发现了地震活动最频繁的地方生活在地震带地方的人们可以采取适当的措施减少其危害也许，将来科学家们能在地震之前预测出发生的地点和时间“When someplates oftheearthmove suddenly,anearthquakehappens v这一句明确告诉我们地球板块突然移动时，就导致地震的发生选项A不是地震的成因，而是地震产生的结果这从“•,•theshakings makerocksrisesuddenlyandevencrackopen”一句中可以看出Passage7“The earthtravels twenty-four hoursaround itsaxis once.v这个句子可直接选出正确答案事实上，确切地说，地球自转一周所用的时间是23时48分46秒“・・・but thesun doesntreally doso.The turningoftheearthmakesusfeelasifthesunwere movingacrossthesky.v这两句话中选项D迷惑性较大，但是这利用由地理知识来排除^••,becauseeverythingelseontheearthisturningwithus”——句中“When ourhalf oftheearthis facingthesun,we sayitisday.When ourhalf isawayfromthesun,wesay itisnight.”这句话中face的意思，即它在此处用作动词（意思是“对着；面向”），答案即可迎刃而解Passage8【答案与解析】这篇短文告诉我们雌蚊子吸过人的血之后，就会找一个地方去休息一下，然后在叶子或墙上产下许多的卵蚊子吮吸人的血液令人讨厌，但它对人血还很挑剔呢有的人，让它叮咬，它还不干呢如果下一次蚊子叮了你，那说明你与众不同，倍受蚊子青睐“吸血”和“会飞”是mosquitoes的两个主要特征根据这两个特点，联系生活常识，即可选定答案另外，读罢全文之后，也能将其余选项予以排除“We knowthemosquitovery well.Mosquitoes flyeverywhere.一句是答案的出处“But ifshedoesntlikeyourblood,she willturn tosomeone elsefor moredelicious blood.”这句话之中”•••she landson yourbody withoutletting youknow.She bitesyou soquickly andquietlythatyou maynotfeel anythingdifferent.,,一句
