2016中考英語閱讀訓練試題：100美元的價值

　　A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.

　　Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.

　　“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.

　　“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua¬ble lesson today. No matter (無論) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (價值). It was still worth ¥ l00!”

　　Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crum¬pled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.

　　You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!

　　B. Because he used to drop a bill on the floor and stepped on it.

　　C. Because he was going to give the bill to one of his students.

　　2. 選D。根據第5段中的you are always valuable to those people who love you可知答案。

　　3. 選D。根據第5段中的Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE可知答案。

　　4. 選A。老師第一次問Who would like this ¥100 bill? 時，同學們的反應是：The students began to put up their hands at once. 老師第二次問Who wants it now? 時， 同學們的反應是：The hands went back into the air. 老師第三次問：Who still wants it? 時，同學們的反應是：Hands went back into the air. 很顯然，Hands went back into the air 中的back有類似again的含義，故選A。

　　5. 選D。通讀全文可以看出，老師利用這張百元大鈔作“教具”，其目的是想告訴同學們，無論你怎樣折騰這張百元大鈔，它的價值都不會因此而減少。所以答案選D最佳。

　　What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

　　Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.

　　From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.

　　The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average(平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

　　Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(滲) into the room.

　　On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木叢) and grass can help to break a fall.

　　2016中考英語閱讀訓練試題：信仰的力量

　　Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教師), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.

　　After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (鋪開) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

　　Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”

　　Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.”

　　“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”

　　Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (釘) to the plus sign (加號), I knew they weren’t joking.”

　　◆根據以上短文內容，然后從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。

　　1. Why did Tommy’s parents send him to a catholic school?

　　A. Because he could eat well there.

　　B. Because he could earn more about nuns.

　　C. Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math.

　　D. Because his parents didn’t want him to learn math any more.

　　2. Tommy’s mother felt surprised that his son _______.

　　A. was still the same as usual B. ate so much at dinner

　　C. kissed her hello after school D. worked hard but said little

　　3. “Hitting the books” means “_______” in Chinese.

　　4. The last sentence in the passage shows that _______.

　　A. Tommy felt sorry for the mail B. Tommy was afraid of being nailed

　　C. Tommy didn’t like the plus sign D. Tommy liked playing jokes on others

　　5. From the passage, we can infer (推斷) that _______.

　　A. teachers should be strict with their students

　　B. mistaking (誤解) might do good sometimes

　　C. a catholic school is much better than other ones

　　D. nuns are good at helping children with their math

　　【答案及解析】

　　1. 選C。文章第1段說Tommy數學學不好，其父母想盡了一切辦法都不奏效，最后將他送進了一所天主教的教會學校。

　　2. 選D。認真閱讀第2段前面幾句話，并注意以下信息：After the first day, little Tommy came home…didn’t kiss his mother hello…was hard at work…without a word. 可知答案應選D。

　　3. 選A。根據文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books這個句子的語境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。

　　4. 選B。Tommy學習一直不用功，但自從進了這所catholic school之后，情況就不一樣了——整天都發狠讀書，結果數學考試也得了A。這是為什么呢?文章在最后道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (釘) to the plus sign (加號), I knew they weren’t joking. 由此可知，Tommy是擔心學習不用功會被釘在十字架上。

　　5. 選B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign誤解為“學習不用功的結果”，從而一改自己原來不好學的不良習慣，很快就把數學成績趕了上去。可見，誤解有時也可以起到好的效果。

　　2016中考英語閱讀訓練試題：平安夜里的感人故事

　　Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒館) for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes).

　　Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves(手套).

　　The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected(尊重)”.

　　Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”

　　Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.

　　They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.

　　“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”

　　◆根據以上短文內容，然后從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。

　　1. What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua students?

　　A. Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua.

　　B. Getting together with friends.

　　2. What does the beggar mean by saying “for the first time I feel respected”?

　　B. The beggar hasn’t been shown care for so long.

　　C. The beggar has been respecting Cai for a long time.

　　D. This is the first time the beggar has seen Tsinghua students.

　　3. What did each beggar feel when they received greetings?

　　C. Frightened. D. Proud.

　　4. The word “neglected” in the last passage means _______.

　　A. protected B. found

　　C. taken care of D. given no enough care

　　【答案及解析】

　　1. 選C。第1段的最后一句…helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes). 就是他們的決定，即去幫助那些乞丐和無家可歸的人，給他們以關愛。答案選C。

　　2. 選B。根據第3段中的 woman所說的話：…for the first time I feel respected(尊重). 我們可以推斷出：乞丐們有太長的時間沒人關心了。故答案為B。

　　3. 選B。 在第6段中有這樣一句Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise. 而B選項中Amazed 的同義表達就是surprised，所以答案為B。

　　4. 選D。本文講述了14個清華學子在平安夜幫助流浪漢和乞丐們的故事。這些流浪漢和乞丐們都感到十分的意外和溫暖，我們由此可推斷他們應該是長期given no enough care(被忽視的)原因。這樣我們就可以排除A、B、C三項，最后正確答案為D。

　　Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.

　　Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(資源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

　　In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龍頭) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.

　　2016中考英語閱讀訓練試題：提倡節約用水

　　Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加納), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily(日常) cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.

　　Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然資源) on the earth.

　　Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface(表面). But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface.

　　You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.

　　How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.

　　Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:

　　●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.

　　●Leaky taps(漏水的龍頭) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!

　　●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴) in half—and you’ll be just as clean.

　　●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.

　　●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full, you’re wasting water!

　　2. 選B。短文第3段中介紹了全球70%被水覆蓋，但只有1%才是飲用淡水。而世界上的很多國家和地區都缺水。所以選B項，即我們的生活用水很少。

　　3. 選D。由第5段中的句子Dirty rain, called acid rain, is also bad for plants animals and buildings.可知，acid rain(酸雨)的危害很大。 故答案選D。

　　4. 選A。A選項與C選項相互矛盾，則必有一個為正確選項。而從第3點建議(advice)可知，你可以沐浴只須五分鐘來節約用水，若用10分鐘則是浪費水。故選A。

　　5. 選C。讀完全文我們知道地球上的水資源有限，所以大家都要節約用水。故選C。

　　2016中考英語閱讀訓練試題：國際旅游廣告

　　Come to Austria!

　　Soll is a village in the mountains in western Austria, and the Hotel Post, opened by a local (當地的) family, is clean and not expensive. From the hotel you can see the whole village, the forest and the mountains. Temperatures in summer are usually 20℃ to 25℃ in the daytime, but much cooler by evening.

　　Enjoy Thailand!

　　When you visit Bangkok in Thailand, don’t miss the early morning river boat trip to the Floating (漂浮的) Market just outside the city. There you will find many kinds of fruits and vegetables. There you can pay for them when you sit in your boat. Don’t forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ about midday!

　　Visit Hawaii!

　　Maybe the most beautiful place in Hawaii is Kauai. You can visit its long, sandy beaches in the south and west of the island, and mountains and forests in the north, but be careful: there are many mosquitoes (蚊子), and don’t be surprised if it rains in the center of the island. Daytime temperatures there are usually around 24℃ to 26℃ by the sea, and only a little cooler by late evening.

　　【答案及解析】

　　(C) 這是三則介紹旅游風景區景點的廣告。

　　11. the whole village, the forest and the mountains。 答案即在“From the hotel you can see the whole village, the forest and the mountains.”這句話中。

　　12. in your boat。根據“There you can pay for them when you sit in your boat.”一句，可知答案。

　　13. your hat。“Don’t forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ about midday!”一句是答案的出處。

　　14. mountains, forests and many mosquitoes。本題屬表層信息理解題。答案源自“…and mountains and forests in the north, but be careful: there are many mosquitoes…”一句中。

　　15. Bangkok in Thailand 。 這三則廣告中所出現的氣溫方面的信息分別是：①Temperatures in summer are usually 20℃ to 25℃ in the daytime, but much cooler by evening. ② the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ about midday! ③ Daytime temperatures there are usually around 24℃ to 26℃ by the sea, and only a little cooler by late evening. 不難看出正確答案。
