(January, 2015)
Passage 1
Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child may ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or to cut out, games printed on a package or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products, or to ask their parents to buy for them.
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable container are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container may cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.
The size of the package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” or “Family Size” painted on it. This sugges ts that the large size has the most products for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.
The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.
1. As used in the passage, the word “motivate” most probably means______.
A) making one deep in thought
B) supplying a thought or feeling that makes one act

A) a buyer will get something useful free of charge
B) a buyer will get what he pays for

3. People are likely to buy the product sold in a glass or dish because ______.
A) they believe the cost of the container is included in the cost of the product
B) the container is too attractive
C) they think they can get the container for free
D) they have no other choice 4. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? ______.
A) Package is often a successful advertisement
B) Children are often encouraged to buy a product by its package with attractive
pictures
C) A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container
D) On seeing a well-designed container, a buyer often neglects what is in it
5. What suggestion does the author give in the passage? ______.

B) Don’t buy the product w hich is sold in a glass or dish
C) A buyer should get what he needs most
D) The best choice for a buyer is to get a product in a plain package
Passage 2
China is pushing forward a nationwide trial on fortified (强化的)food, in a bid to improve the health of its citizens. About 30,000 people from the country’s western region have used fortified flour for two years. Their diets had been improved. This experience will be promoted throughout the country and fortified oil and rice have also been introduced across the country.
Fortified food refers to food with nutrients (营养) added, such as vitamins, calcium and iron. The nutrition program is expected to be included in the key projects for the country’s 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010). A series of rules and regulations, such as nutrition rules and production standards for fortified flour, will come into effect.
The intake of some nutrients, such as fat, protein and calories is often excessive, but some other nutrients, such as vitamins, are lacking in some diets, according to some experts.
At the moment there are three ways to improve public nutrition ---- a balanced diet, food fortification and nutritional supplements(补充). However, due to China’s massive population and its unbalanced economic development, food fortification is thought to be the best way of improving public nutrition in a short period of time.
China started fortifying food in 2002, while developed countries such as the United States have more than 50 years of such experience. “Fortified foods do not sell well, as the public still knows little about it.” Some experts pointed out.
1. What is the purpose for China to push forward the plan on fortified food? .
A) To improve the health of its citizens
B) To advise its citizens to use fortified flour
C) To introduce fortified oil and rice
D) To introduce 3 ways to improve public nutrition
2. What are added to fortified food? ______.
A) Vitamins
B) Calcium and iron
C) Fat, protein and calories
D) Both A and B
3. Where is the nutrition program expected to be included? ______.
A) In a series of rules and regulations
B) In nutrition rules
C) In the key projects for the country’s 11th Five-Year Plan
D) In production standards
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ______.
A) Some nutrients are lacking in some diets
B) China started fortifying food nearly around years earlier than U.S.
C) Food fortification is thought to be the best way of improving public nutrition now
D) There are 3 ways to improve public nutrition at the moment
5. Why don’t the fortified foods sell well? ______.
A) Because the public know little about them
B) Because the prices are higher
C) Because fortified foods don’t taste good
D) Because fat, protein and calories in fortified foods are often excessive
Passage 3
A moment’s drilling by the dentists may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain. To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the “needle” that deadens the nerves around the tooth.
Now it’s true th at human body has developed millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves ---- and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves ---- we wouldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain.
But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian Fakir who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.
The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little”, it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.
1. The purpose of this passage is mainly to tell us ______.
A) that pain is good for us
B) to stop taking the “needle” at the dentist’s
C) how to handle pain
D) how to avoid torture
2. The sense of pain can ______.
A) let us know what’s going on in any part of our body
B) make us open to torture
C) make us pay for our sensitivity
D) help us get more sensations
3. The best way to ease pain is to ______.
A) do what the Indian Fakirs do B) welcome it
C) know about it in advance D) treat it as an interesting sensation
4. In the first sentence of the last paragraph the word “withstanding” probably means ______.
A) accepting B) avoiding C) handling D) curing
5. “We pay for our sensitivity” (paragraph 2) means ______.
A) it was fortunate for humans to have developed this sensitivity
B) we suffer because of this sensitivity
C) we know very well how to cope with sensations of pain
D) we have to pay the dentist for his treatment of our teeth
Passage 4
Governments at all levels face a tough task in better managing and serving migrant populations.
The municipal government of Shanghai carried out a residence certificate system in 2002, granting migrant laborers some treatments enjoyed by their urban counterparts. In Shenzhen, the residence certificate has included healthcare, education and many other contents. The government of Beijing is also working on a local regulation about migrant population management that has aroused much attention.
It is not only a specific issue of migrant population management and service but also an issue concerning social welfare, public products, management mechanisms and human
rights.
For more than half a century, permanent residence registration has been the sole criterion（标准）for one to enjoy urban public products such as healthcare, education, employment and social security. Migrant workers, though contributing to the local economy, can’t enjoy such products equally. Sometimes they are even guarded or discriminated（歧视）against.
Migrant populations cannot have a sense of belonging to the city they live in, which is no good for social order and stability and will bring negative impacts to the management.
Scientific, rational（合理的）and just social policies and laws will build our society in a positive way. Migrant laborers, especially those who have realized stable employment in the city, should be granted treatment equal to their urban counterparts.
1. How long has the permanent residence registration been the sole criterion? ______.
A) For more than 20 years B) For more than 40 years
C) For more than 50 years D) For more than 100 years
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? ______.
A) It is in 2002 that the municipal government of Shanghai carried out a residence
certificate system
B) It is in Shenzhen that the residence certificate has included healthcare, education
and many other contents
C) It is the compulsory education of migrant children that all municipal governments
should pay attention to
D) It is in Beijing that the government is working on a local regulation about migrant
population management
3. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A) Migrant populations want to settle in cities
B) Migrant workers play an important role in local economy
C) Migrant workers are all trouble-makers
D) Migrant workers will move out of cities sooner or later
4. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? ______.
A) To argue for the importance of equal rights for all citizens.
B) To explain the importance of migrant workers.
C) To show the importance of social stability.
D) To indicate the importance of municipal governments of all cities.
5. The best title for the passage is ______.

C) Migrant population management
D) Migrant population service
Passage 5
Although one might not think so from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very considerable proportion of the world at large, live. Advertising is indispensable as a means of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are provided, and of which most of them would never get to hear at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising is extremely helpful to promote a rising standard of living.
In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of a commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest sense, advertising includes a host of other activities such as packaging, shop displays and----in the sense of communication----even the spoken word of the salesman. After all, the resources of advertising are to be found in the market place.
For many years it was considered that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the manufacture of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is important that we go out and sell what we have, and advertising plays an important role in this aspect, whether selling at home or in export markets.
About two percent of the UK gross national product is relied on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Certainly, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential consumer, but if the article when purchased does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the article will sell well.
1. According to the text, advertising is important to ______.
A) every potential consumer in the world
B) large countries in the world
C) people with a high standard of living
D) a large number of people in the world
2. Advertising has its origins in ______.
A) shop window displays and the wrapping of goods
B) face to face contact between sellers and buyers
C) the communicative abilities of a trained sales person
D) articles in newspapers and magazines
3. People have realized that resources are wasted if goods ______.
A) are not of lasting value B) are not sold at a high price
C) remain unsold for a long time D) remained unsold in export markets
4. The text makes a point that goods will sell well if ______.
A) advertisements show the true value of them
B) enough money is spent on advertising
C) advertisements are well designed
D) they are of high quality
5. The best title of this passage would be ______.
A) Benefits of Advertising
B) A Brief History of Advertising in the UK
C) Limitations of Advertising
D) Production and Advertising
Passage 6
In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor’s degree.
Generally, however, modern examinations are written. Two types of tests are common ly used in modern schools. The first type is sometimes called an “objective” test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.
The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter (or number) on his examination paper.
For testing a student’s memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages. It can be scored very quickly by the teacher or even by a machine. In a short time the teacher can find out a great deal about the student’s range of knowledge.
For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory. A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.
1. This passage is mainly about ______.
A) examinations in ancient times
B) modern examinations
C) how to do well in an examination
D) how to set questions for an examination
2. To get a doctor’s degree, one has to ______.
A) say poetry aloud

A) it is easy and quick to score
B) the teacher can find out a great deal about the student’s range of knowledge in a
short time
C) it shows how deeply the student has thought about the subject
D) it contains element of luck
4. Which of the following statements about the objective test is NOT true? ______.
A) Students who have not learned the material properly may fail to recognize the
correct answer.
B) Each question has more than one correct answer.
C) A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.
D) The objective test has advantages for testing a student’s memory of facts and
details.
5. The next paragraph will probably deal with ______.
A) the other type of examination
B) the advantages of the objective test
C) how students guess the correct answer without really knowing the material
D) examinations in the ancient times
Passage 7
In Britain arrangements for inviting and entertaining guests at a wedding are usually the responsibility of the bride’s family. In most cases it is mainly friends and relations of both families who are invited but when the bride’s father is a businessman of some kind, the wedding reception may provide a useful occasion for establishing social connections with clients or, customers and other people whose good will may be of advantage to him. It is, however, the bride’s mother who has the job of sending out the formal printed invitation cards.
In the case of a church wedding, the vicar (priest) of each parish (教区) in which the ceremony bride and bridegroom live is normally informed about a month in advance of the ceremony so that an announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church on each of three Sundays before it takes place. Anyone who may know of an existing
marriage of either partner is ordered to give information about it, though this means of avoiding bigamy(重婚罪) must have been more effective in the days when people moved about the world less than they do today. Often up to a hundred or more people attend the religious service and the bride usually wears the traditional long white dress and veil, while her bride-maids, who are often children, wear long dress in attractive colors. This may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but is probably less usual.
The reception which follows may be held in a restaurant, a local hall or, when there are few guests, in the bride’s own home. Refreshments (茶点) are provided, a special iced wedding-cake is cut (usually to the accompaniment of speeches) and distributed to the guests, toasts are drunk and dancing may follow. At some point in the celebrations, the bride goes to change into everyday clothes and then leaves the party with her husband to go on their honeymoon, the journey they will make together, often in romantic surroundings abroad.

Passage 8
Today millions of Americans, of all ages and backgrounds, are participating in thousands of continuing education programs scattered throughout the country. Life-long learning is becoming a part of the American way of life. V ocational educators collectively have a wealth of skills and knowledge to impart to these seekers of new learning.
There are many reasons why people are going “back to school”. Diplomas, degrees and certificates bring increased earnings, job promotions and acceptance into new and more challenging careers. Workers must constantly face the challenge of keeping up with the latest developments in their career fields. Reduced working hours are giving adults established in their career fields more time to pursue vocational and leisure-time activities.
Continuing education has something for every one of these groups. Real estate salesmen and accountants learn about new laws and financial concepts affecting their clients; union members learn new and advanced skills in contract negotiations; college professors learn new teaching techniques, and housewives learn how to manage the household budget more skillfully.
Universities, community colleges, local schools, labor unions, business and industry, and community organizations all contribute to making these continuing education programs available.
1. Continuing education programs can be carried out successfully because______.
A) professional educators as a whole are rich in knowledge and teaching experiences

available
D) both A and C
2. The reasons why people are going “back to school” show that______.
A) Life-long learning is becoming a part of the American way of life
B) continuing education may meet the needs of all kinds of people
C) the continuing ed ucation is closely related to the promotion in people’s career fields
and reduced working hours make the spare time study available

Passage 9
Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world.
In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.
The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas exploration have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as manganese, iron, nickel and copper exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric (水力发电的) power.
Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers (潜水员) with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea-level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved in the future. 1. What is the best title for the passage? ______.
A) Needs of Man
B) Sea Harvest
C) Sources of Energy
D) Sea Exploring Technology
2. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A) man hasn’t completely cultivated the riches of the sea
B) technology for exploring the sea has been solved

D) in the near future man can live on the ocean floor
3. The author mentions all of the following as minerals existing on the ocean floor except ______.
A) iron B) copper
C) manganese D) tin
4. Why does the author mention a steamship? ______.
A) To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.
B) To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ship.
C) To argue that man should use steamships more than other means of transportation.
D) To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.
5. According to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because ______.
A) man cannot travel farther into space
B) resources on land are running short
C) it’s a lot of fun diving into the sea
D) ancient people used to explore the sea
Passage 10
Change---or the ability to adapt oneself to a changing environment---is essential to evolution. The farmer whose land is required for housing or industry must adapt himself: he can move to another place and master the problems peculiar to it; he can change his occupation, perhaps after a period of training, or he can starve to death. A nation which cannot adapt its trade or defense requirements to meet world conditions faces economic or military disaster. Nothing is fixed and permanently stable. There must be movement forward, which is progress of a sort, or movement backwards, which is decay and deterioration (恶化).
In this context, tradition can be a force for good or for evil. As long as it offers a guide (without insisting that its path is the only one), it helps the ignorant and the
uninformed to take a step forward, and thereby, to adapt themselves to the changed circumstances. Tradition, or custom, can guide the hunter as effectively as it can influence the nervous hostess. But if we make an idol of tradition, it ceases to become a guide and becomes an obstacle lying on the path of change and progress. If we insist on trying to plot (计划) the future by the past, we clearly handicap ourselves and invite failure. The better course is to adapt the help which tradition can give but, realizing that it necessarily has its roots in the past, to be well aware of its limitations in a changing world.
1. The ability mentioned by the writer is the ability ______.
A) to work in the changing world
B) to fit oneself to a changing environment
C) to starve to death
D) to live a happy life in the world
2.. How does the example of the farmer relate to the writer’s comments on tradition? ______.
A) The farmer is greatly influenced by tradition
B) The farmer is mentioned as an example of need for people to be adaptable
C) The farmer may not have to undergo a period of training
D) The farmer would rather starve to death than leave his land
3. Change is said to be essential to evolution because_____.
A) the world is changing
B) the world is the same as before
C) the world will never be in progress
D) the world does not make unnecessary changes
4. In line 1 of p aragraph 2 “this context” refers to ______.
A) decay and deterioration
B) movement forward
C) tradition
D) a changing world
5. The writer concluded by offering the advice _____.
A) it would be better to take no notice of tradition
B) the best thing to do is to keep firmly tradition
C) we should neither worship nor reject tradition
D) we unnecessarily realize the limitations of a changing world 答案及详解：

41.D 本题询问继续教育能够成功实行的原因是什么。第一段最后一句“职业教育者整体具有丰富的技能和知识。”最后一段讲到“各大学，社区学院，即当地学校，工人联盟，工商，社团组织都在为继续教育做努力。”所以A、C项均是其原因。B:并不是“所有人都喜欢社会上这种组织性的教育活动——结识新朋友”，而是“有一类人（a category of people）”。见第二段最后一句。
42. C 本题询问人们回到学校的原因表明了什么。第二段开头即提出这一问题，只有选项C概括了这些原因“继续教育与人们在工作领域的升迁密切相关，并且工作时间的减少也使利用业余时间学习成为可能”。
43. B 理解题。established in their career fields意为“在工作领域有固定工作的”。选项B“某人在工作领域中有固定的职位”正确地理解了原文。A项“让人们相信自身具有在各自工作领域完成各项任务的能力。”C项“圆满完成工作任务”。D项“在各自领域众所周知”均不正确。
44. B 本题关键词real estate salesmen指的是房地产商。显然B项“关注土地，房屋等个人财产销售的人。”是正确答案。
45.D本文是一则关于继续教育发展情况的信息,而不是幽默，批评或政治辩论。Passage 9
36. B.第一句就讲到the ability to adapt oneself to a changing environment (使自己适应环境变化的能力)，因此作者所指的能力是B，适应环境变化的能力。A在变化着的世界中工作（但并不一定适应）。
37. B.根据第一段The farmer whose land…or he can starve to death.得知作者用农民的例子说明人们需要有适应能力。因此B正确，其他项都是关于农民适应力的消极想象。
38. A.改变对于变革非常重要，原因是世界在改变。文章在第一段指出Nothing is fixed … stable.这也正是文章为什么提倡适应能力的原因。因此A正确。
39. D 第二段第一句this context指的是变化的世界。这句话显然是接着上面提到的话题，第一段最后两句讲到，没有什么是一成不变的，不是前进就是倒退，不是进步就是衰退。
40. C 在第二段第一句作者首先指出tradition.. for evil.接下来举例说明传统的利弊，最后的忠告是对于传统既不过分崇拜也不完全拒绝。因此C正确。Passage 10
41. B 通篇讲述的都是人类从海洋中获得的收获。因此B最为准确地概括文章主旨，是本文最恰当的题目。
42. A 可以从文章中推断出的是A，文章第三段讲到等待人类技术开发的海洋财富是令人叹为观止的，还有众多有价值的矿物有待开发。
43. D 根据第三段最后一句Valuable amounts of minerals such as manganese, iron, nickel and copper exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.得知tin（锡）没有在文章中提到。因此D是正确答案。
44. A 根据第四段的Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer …similar to the steam in a steamship.作者提到汽船的目的是说明人类能够利用来自海洋的能源。海水的热度就与汽船用的汽相似。因此A是正确答案。
45. B 作者认为海洋勘探技术非常重要是因为B 陆地上的资源正逐渐缺乏。

中考语文阅读专题训练及答案
中考语文阅读专题训练 （一）夜深了，花睡了 三毛 我爱一切的花朵。在任何一个千红万紫的花摊上，各色花朵的壮阔交杂，成了都市中最美的点缀。 其实我并不爱花圃，爱的是旷野上随着季节变化而生长的野花和那微风吹过大地时的感动。 生活在都市里的人，迫不得已在花市中捧些花回家。对于离开泥土的鲜花，我总有一种疼惜又抱歉的心理，可还是要买的。这种对花的抱歉和喜悦，总也不能过分去分析。 在所有的花朵中，如果要说“最爱”，我选择一切白色的花，尤其是长梗的百合。 许多年前，我尚在大西洋的小岛上过日子，那时，经济拮据，丈夫失业快一年了。我在家中种菜，屋子里插的是一人高的枯枝和芒草，那种东西，艺术品位高，并不差的。我不买花。 有一日，丈夫和我打开邮箱，又是一封求职被拒的回信。那一阵，其实并没有山穷水尽，粗茶淡饭的日子过得没有悲伤，可是一切维持生命之外的物质享受，已不敢奢求。那是一种恐惧，眼看存款一日日减少，心里怕得失去了安全感。这种情况只有经历过失业的人才能明白。 我们眼看求职再一次受挫，没有说什么，去了大菜场，买了些最便宜的冷冻排骨和矿泉水，就出来了。不知怎么一疏忽，丈夫不见了，我站在大街上等，心事重重的。一会儿，丈夫回来了，手里捧着一小束百合，兴冲冲地递给我，说：“百合上市了。” 那一瞬间，我突然失了理智，向丈夫大叫起来：“什么时候了？什么经济能力？你有没有分寸，还去买花？！”说着我把那束花“啪”一下丢到地上，转身就跑。在举步的那一刹间，其实我已经后悔了。我回头，看见丈夫呆了一两秒钟，然后弯下身，把那些撒在地上的花，慢慢拾了起来。 我向他奔过去，喊着：“荷西，对不起。”我扑上去抱他，他用手围着我的背，紧了一紧，我们对视，发觉丈夫的眼眶红了。
阅读理解精选习题及答案
天堂里的老师 他是我分管的病人当中比较坚强的一位。他不像有的癌症患者，以绝望、恐惧的态度对待疾病。他很平静，很配合治疗，而且相当用功，一直坚持自学大学课程。他叫阿明，19岁，某师范大学二年级学生，血癌。 由于多次化疗，这个19岁男孩的头发已全部掉光，脸色苍白如纸，只有一双大眼炯炯有神地闪着不屈的青春之光。入院时130斤的体重只剩下90多斤，同时，也打碎了他的教师梦。他写了这样的诗句： 鸟儿衔走所有快乐的音符 风儿吹走描绘明天的彩笔 只留下苍白的影子在风中悲泣 心中的太阳陨落在无歌的冬季 在阿明的隔壁病房，住着一个7岁的小男孩冬冬。不做治疗时，阿明常去给冬冬讲故事，辅导作业，有时还教几个外语单词。病房里的沉寂和生命走近终点时的压抑因为有了冬冬那清脆的笑声而变得活力四射。阿明成了冬冬的编外老师。 那天上午查房，阿明突然问我：“医生，我还能活多久？”我故作轻松地说：“起码要活100年，好好过你的瘾。”他却盯着我的眼睛：“我想知道实情。”我躲开他那探询的目光，说：“好好做治疗。”便匆匆逃出病房，心理却非常清楚，这两条鲜活的生命难熬过这个漫长的冬天。 第二天上午，推开病房的门，阿明正在教冬冬写毛笔字，一笔一画，一撇一捺，那么认真那么从容。阳光从窗外射进来，仿佛一道灿烂绝伦的光环笼罩他们。生命被抛至如此绝境，他们却用自己的方式顽强地抗拒着，不向命运低头。还有比这更令人心动的情景吗？ 没过多久，冬冬死了，弥留时冬冬拉着阿明的手：“我要上学。” 一连几天，阿明没再走出病房，只是闷着看书。我担心冬冬的死会影响他的情绪，便劝他保重身体。他却一把抓住我的手：“医生，我知道我自己活不了多久了，本想等大学毕业后当一名教师，现在看来已经来不及了。病房晚上10点熄灯太早，您能不能再给我亮一个小时的灯？还剩最后一册我就学完了全部课程。” “不行，那样违反规定。再说，你学了，也没有用。”我有点残忍地拒绝着。 “不！”他用极神圣的语气告诉我，“学完了全部课程，即使到了天堂，我也要当一名教师，去教像冬冬那样不幸夭折的没有机会上学的孩子。”我被他深深地打动了，含着泪花破例答应了他的请求。 每晚到了10点，病房统一熄灯后，只有阿明的房间灯还亮着。那闪烁的灯光像一面旗帜在向人们昭示：生命也许很脆弱，生命又真的很顽强。 三个月后，阿明死了，死的很安详。我想：“他一定去了天堂，他会是天堂里最好的老师。”
中考 语文散文阅读专题专题训练及答案
中考语文散文阅读专题专题训练及答案 一、中考语文散文阅读专题练习 1．阅读下面的文字，完成下列小题。 废园外 巴金 ①晚饭后出去散步，走着走着我又走到这里来了。 ②从墙的缺口望见园内的景物，还是一大片欣欣向荣的绿叶。在一个角落里，一簇深红色的花盛开，旁边是一座毁了的楼房的空架子。屋瓦全震落了，但是楼前一排绿栏杆还摇摇晃晃地悬在架子上。 ③我看看花，花开得正好，大的花瓣，长的绿叶。这些花原先一定是种在窗前的，我想，一个星期前，有人从精致的屋子里推开小窗眺望园景，赞美的眼光便会落在这一簇花上。也许还有人整天倚窗望着园中的花树，把年轻人的渴望从眼里倾注在红花绿叶上面。 ④但是现在窗没有了，楼房快要倾塌了。只有园子里还盖满绿色，花还在盛开。倘使花能够讲话，它们会告诉我，它们所看见的窗内的面颜，年轻的面颜，可是，如今永远消失了。花要告诉我的不止这个，它们一定要说出8月14曰的惨剧。精致的楼房就是在那天毁了的，不到一刻钟的工夫，一座花园便成了废墟了。 ⑤我望着园子，绿色使我的眼睛舒畅。废墟么?不，园子已经从敌人的炸弹下复活了。在那些带着旺盛生命的绿叶红花上，我看不出一点被人践踏的痕迹。但是耳边忽然响起一个女人的声音：“陈家三小姐，刚才挖出来。”我回头看，没有人。这句话就是在惨剧发生后的第二天听到的。 ⑥那天中午我也走过这个园子，不过不是在这里，是在另一面，就是在楼房的后边。在那个中了弹的防空洞旁边，在地上或者在土坡上，我记不起了，躺着三具尸首，是用草席盖着的。中间一张草席下面露出一只瘦小的腿，腿上全是泥土，随便一看，谁也不会想到这是人腿。人们还在那里挖掘。远远地在一个新堆成的土坡上，也是从炸塌了的围墙缺口看进去，七八个人带着悲戚的面容，对着那具尸体发愣。这些人一定是和死者相识的罢。那个中午妇人指着露腿的死尸说：“陈家三小姐，刚才挖出来。”以后从另一个人的口里我知道了这个防空洞的悲惨故事。 ⑦一只带泥的腿，一个少女的生命。我不认识这位小姐，我甚至没有见过她的面颜。但是望着一园花树，想到关闭在这个园子里的寂寞的青春，我觉得心里被什么东西搔着似的痛起来。连这个安静的地方，连这个渺小的生命，也不为那些太阳旗的空中武士所容。两三颗炸弹带走了年轻人的渴望。炸弹毁坏了一切，甚至这个寂寞的生存中的微弱的希望。这样地逃出囚笼，这个少女是永远见不到园外的广大世界了。 ⑧花随着风摇头，好像在叹息。它们看不见那个熟悉的窗前的面庞，一定感到寂寞而悲戚罢。 ⑨但是一座楼隔在它们和防空洞的中间，使它们看不见一个少女被窒息的惨剧，使它们看不见带泥的腿。这我却是看见了的。关于这我将怎样向人们诉说呢? ⑩夜色降下来，园子渐渐地隐没在黑暗里。我的眼前只有一片黑暗。但是花摇头的姿态还是看得见的。周围没有别的人，寂寞的感觉突然侵袭到我的身上来。为什么这样静?为什么不出现一个人来听我愤慨地讲述那个少女的故事?难道我是在梦里?
阅读题练习及答案
“煮书” 爷爷的书房里挂着一张条幅，上面写着“煮书”两个苍劲有力的大字，我感到很奇怪：书只能读，怎么可以煮呢？ 一天，爷爷刚刚写完一篇文章，正坐在藤椅上品茶。我指着条幅问爷爷：“书怎么可以煮呢？书放锅里煮，不是要煮坏了吗？” 爷爷笑了说书是精神食粮嘛既是食粮怎么不可以煮呢煮熟了 吃下去才好消化吸收嘛 爷爷看见我疑惑不解的样子，便接着说：“你知道唐代诗人杜甫吧？他小时候读书，就能反复诵读品味，非把书读透不可。其实，这就是‘煮书’。这样，他做起诗来就感到得心应手了。所以他说：‘读书破万卷，下笔如有神’。我们学习语文，对那些好的文章也应该这么‘煮’，否则，就很难把语文学好。” “爷爷，你看我该怎么‘煮书’呢？” “你可以从‘煮’语文书入手嘛。语文课文都是范文，每天清晨起来，放声读上几遍，仔细品味一番，多有意思！这样煮下去，你不仅能体会到文章的情感，还可以牢记妙词佳句……好处可多啦。肚子里的词儿多了，今后说话和写文章还会犯愁吗？” 爷爷的话使我豁然开朗，“煮书”还真有道理哩！ 1. 从短文中找出与下面意思相近的词语，写在括号里。 A. 指心里不明白，不相信。（） B. 形容运用自如，心里怎么想，手就能怎么做。（） C. 形容开阔或通达，一下子就明白了。（） 2. 阅读短文后填空。 （1）使“我”感到奇怪的问题是（）。 （2）“我”认为“煮书”是。而爷爷说的“煮书”是指（）。 （3）“煮书”的好处是（）。 3. 给第三自然段加上标点符号。 4. 写出你对“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”的理解。 竺可桢的故事 竺可桢不仅爱学习，还爱用脑子思考问题。家乡雨水特别多，屋檐上老是滴水，落在石板上发出“滴滴答答”的响声。竺可桢站在一旁数那滴答作响的水滴，数着数着，他像发现了奇迹，眼睛盯住石板出神，他心里纳闷：哎，这些石板上

2015专升本阅读理解练习及答案详解
Reading Comprehension (January, 2015) Passage 1 Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child may ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or to cut out, games printed on a package or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products, or to ask their parents to buy for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable container are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container may cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of the package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” or “Family Size” painted on it. This sugges ts that the large size has the most products for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that. 1. As used in the passage, the word “motivate” most probably means______. A) making one deep in thought B) supplying a thought or feeling that makes one act C) providing a story that makes one move D) making one believe what he does is just right 2. A buyer will get something for nothing most probably means that ______. A) a buyer will get something useful free of charge B) a buyer will get what he pays for C) a buyer will gain more than he loses D) a buyer will not get what he wants 3. People are likely to buy the product sold in a glass or dish because ______. A) they believe the cost of the container is included in the cost of the product B) the container is too attractive C) they think they can get the container for free D) they have no other choice 4. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? ______. A) Package is often a successful advertisement B) Children are often encouraged to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures C) A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container D) On seeing a well-designed container, a buyer often neglects what is in it 5. What suggestion does the author give in the passage? ______. A) The quality of the container has nothing to do with the quality of the product B) Don’t buy the product w hich is sold in a glass or dish C) A buyer should get what he needs most D) The best choice for a buyer is to get a product in a plain package Passage 2 China is pushing forward a nationwide trial on fortified (强化的)food, in a bid to improve the health of its citizens. About 30,000 people from the country’s western region have used fortified flour for two years. Their diets had been improved. This experience will be promoted throughout the country and fortified oil and rice have also been introduced across the country. Fortified food refers to food with nutrients (营养) added, such as vitamins, calcium and iron. The nutrition program is expected to be included in the key projects for the country’s 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010). A series of rules and regulations, such as nutrition rules and production standards for fortified flour, will come into effect. The intake of some nutrients, such as fat, protein and calories is often excessive, but some other nutrients, such as vitamins, are lacking in some diets, according to some experts. At the moment there are three ways to improve public nutrition ---- a balanced diet, food fortification and nutritional supplements(补充). However, due to China’s massive population and its unbalanced economic development, food fortification is thought to be the best way of improving public nutrition in a short period of time. China started fortifying food in 2002, while developed countries such as the United States have more than 50 years of such experience. “Fortified foods do not sell well, as the public still knows little about it.” Some experts pointed out. 1. What is the purpose for China to push forward the plan on fortified food? . A) To improve the health of its citizens B) To advise its citizens to use fortified flour C) To introduce fortified oil and rice
阅读理解练习 附答案
一、阅读精讲 Recently a program called Apps for Apes was started by the New York-baxxxxsed nonprofit organization OrangutanOutreach. The program introduces Apple’s iPad to orangutans in zoos. How could orangutans react to seeing another orangutan using the iPad when they themselves are not using it? Mr. Zimmerman explains that the orangutans all want to use the tablet when they see it. This desire could come from wanting their caretaker’s same attention. Mr. Zimmerman told us what happens in a situation where the mother of a baby orangutan uses the iPad with an animal caretaker. When the baby orangutan sees the iPad he will jump over and want to play with them. In this case he advises having two iPads and caretakers to work with the mother and the baby. Another example comes from an animal sanctuary in Florida. “At the Center for Great Apes in Florida when we use an iPad with Mari a female orangutan Pongo a big male who lives with Mari gets jealous and wants the attention. So he comes running over and wants to use the iPad.” How do orangutans react to seeing visitors using iPads? Mr. Zimmerman says this behavior has not been reported. But he says orangutans are used to being taken pictures with other devices. So they don’t mind anything pointing at them such as a c amera or a phone. Mr. Zimmerman adds that the orangutans do recognize the iPad but to know what they are thinking is a bit more difficult. We are expecting mind readers to tell us what a great ape is thinking or someone has developed an app for that? 1、Words and phrases （1）react to 对……做出反应 He didn't react to the question. （2）want to do sth. 想要做某事 John want to go shopping with his mother.约翰想和妈妈去逛街。 （3）come from 来自于，相当于be from He comes/is from America.他来自于美国。 （4）jump over 跳过，越过 I'm gonna jump over it! 我要跳了！ （5）be used to doing 习惯做某事 I'm used to running every morning. 我习惯了每天早晨跑步。 He has been used to doing homework after coming home.他已经习惯了回家后做作业。 （6）take pictures 照相，相当于take photos We took many photos in the park last Sunday.我们上周日在公园找了很多照片。 （7）mind doing sth. 介意做某事 Do you mind opening the door?你介意打开门吗？ 2、Listening practice Recently a program called Apps for Apes was started by the New York-baxxxxsed nonprofit organization Orangutan Outreach.

[专升本类试卷]阅读理解练习试卷1 一、Part III Reading Comprehension Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. 0 What makes a person famous? This is a mystery that many people have pondered. All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people. Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the sixteenth century. Yet how many know Shakespeare the person, the man behind the works? After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare's personal history. It is not easily found in his writings. Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company, for example, could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays writers have copyrights that protect their work. Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. There are rumors that he left home when accused of stealing a horse. Others believe that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men. All of these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probably not. Shakespeare's father was a respected man in Stratford, a member of the town council, He sent young William to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school; so, Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education. Some parts of Shakespeare's life will always remain unknown. The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues.

中考语文小说阅读专题训练专项训练及答案 一、中考语文小说阅读专题训练 1．阅读下文，回答问题。 我为白菜狂的日子 莫言 12岁那年，一个临近春节的早晨，母亲叹息着，并不时把目光抬高，瞥一眼那三棵吊在墙上的白菜。最后，母亲的目光锁定在白菜上，端详着，终于下了决心似的，叫我去找个篓子来。 “娘”我悲伤地问，“您要把它们……” “今天是大集。”母亲沉重地说。 “可是，您答应过的，这是我们留着过年的……”话没说完，我的眼泪就涌了出来。“我们种了一百零四棵白菜，卖了一百零一棵，只剩下这三棵了……说好了留着过年包饺子的……”我哽咽着说。 母亲靠近我，掀起衣襟，擦去了我脸上的泪水。透过矇眬的泪眼，我看到母亲把那两棵较大的白菜从墙上摘下来。最后，那棵最小的、形状圆圆像个和尚头的也脱离了木橛子，挤进了篓子里。我熟悉这棵白菜。因为它生长在最靠近路边那行的拐角处，小时被牛踩了一脚，一直长得不旺。我和母亲格外关照它。尽管还是小，但卷得十分饱满，收获时母亲拍打着它，感慨地对我说：“你看看它，你看看它……”在那一瞬间，母亲脸上洋溢着欣喜的表情，仿佛拍打着一个历经磨难终于长大成人的孩子。 去集市的路上。寒风凛冽，有太阳，很弱，仿佛随时都要熄灭似的。我的手很快冻麻了，篓子跌在地上，篓底有几根蜡条跌断了，那棵最小的白菜从篓子里跳出来，滚到路边结着白冰的水沟里，根跌损了。母亲在我头上打了一巴掌，然后小心又匆忙地下到沟底将它抱上来放进篓子。我知道闯了大祸，哭着说：“我不是故意的，我真的不是故意的……”母亲的脸色缓和了，没再打骂我，只用一种温暖的腔调说：“不中用，把饭吃到哪里去了？”然后蹲下身，将背篓的木棍搭上肩头。 终于挨到了集上。母亲将篓子放在七姥爷的旁边，就让我去上学。我也想走，但看到一个老太太朝着我们的白菜走了过来。她用细而沙哑的嗓音问了白菜的价钱，摇摇头，看样子是嫌贵。但她没有走，而是蹲下，揭开那张破羊皮，翻动着我们的三棵白菜。她把那棵最小的白菜上那半截欲断未断的根拽了下来，然后又用枯柴一样的手指，逐棵地戳着我们的白菜。撇着嘴说我们的白菜卷得不紧。母亲用忧伤的声音说：“大婶子啊，这样的白菜您还嫌卷得不紧，那您就到市上，看看哪里还能找到卷得更紧的？” 我对这个老太太充满了厌恶感，你拽断了我们的白菜根也就罢了，可你不该昧着良心说我们的白菜卷得不紧。我忍不住冒出了一句话：“再紧就成了石头蛋子了！”老太太惊讶地看着我。母亲转回头批评我：“小小孩儿，说话没大没小的！” 老太太撕扯着那棵最小的白菜上那层已干枯的菜帮子。我十分恼火，便刺她：“别撕了，你撕了让我们怎么卖？！” “你这个小孩子，说话怎么就像吃了枪药一样呢？”老太太嘟哝着，但撕扯菜帮子的手却并不停止。 她终于还是将那层干菜帮子全部撕光，露出了鲜嫩、洁白的菜帮。这样的白菜包成饺
