　　最新中考英语阅读理解练习题：“fashion” means “clothes”

　　For most people，the word “fashion” means “clothes”。 But people may ask the question，“What clothes are in fashion?”And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way：

　　“She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour.”

　　But of course there are fashions in many things，not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays，in restaurants，in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects，jobs…and in languages.

　　Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper，radios，telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours. Newfashions mean that people will buy new things，so you see there is money in fashion.

It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home.

　　最新中考英语阅读理解练习题：some scientists say

　　Unless we spend money to spot(认出，发现)and prevent asteroids(小行星)now，one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it，say some scientists.

　　Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星体)that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don‘t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.

　　But $500 million worth of new telescopes right now，then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one，the scientists say，we‘ll have a way to change its course.

　　Is it worth it?Two things experts consider when judging any risk are (i)How likely the event is;(2)How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500，000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world. “If we don‘t take care of these bid asteroids，they’ll take care of us，”says one scientist. “it‘s that simple.”

　　The cure，though，might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets(舰队，车队)of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth?“the world has less fear from doomsday(毁灭性)rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them.” Said a New York Times article.

　　1. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?

　　A. They are heavenly bodies different in composition.

　　B. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.

　　C. They are more asteroids than meteoroids.

　　D. Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.

　　2. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?

　　A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.

　　B. Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.

　　C. Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.

　　D. It‘s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.

　　3. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?

　　A. It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.

　　B. It may create more problems than it might solve.

　　C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.

　　D. Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.

　　4. We can conclude from the passage that __

　　A. While pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.

　　B. Asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future.

　　C. The worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime.

　　D. Workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.

　　5.Which of the following best describes the author‘s tone in this passage?

　　A. Optimistic(乐观的) B.Critical(批评的) C. Objective(客观的) D. Arbitrary(武断的)

　　最新中考英语阅读理解练习题：Christmas Eve

　　Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends,a candlelight dinner,or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒馆)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.”

　　根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

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

　　A. Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua.

　　B. Getting together with friends.

　　C. Showing care to the beggars and the homeless.

　　D. Selling bread and gloves to the beggars.

　　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. 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

　　答案与解析

　　1. 选C.第1段的最后一句…helping beggars(乞丐)and the homeless(people without homes)。就是他们的决定，即去帮助那些乞丐和无家可归的人，给他们以关爱。答案选C.

　　2. 选B.根据第3段中的 woman所说的话：…for the first time I feel respected(尊重)。我们可以推断出：乞丐们有太长的时间没人关心了。故答案为B.

　　3. 选B. 在第6段中有这样一句Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise. 而B选项中Amazed 的同义表达就是surprised，所以答案为B.

　　4. 选D.本文讲述了14个清华学子在平安夜帮助流浪汉和乞丐们的故事。这些流浪汉和乞丐们都感到十分的意外和温暖，我们由此可推断他们应该是长期given no enough care(被忽视的)原因。这样我们就可以排除A、B、C三项，最后正确答案为D.
