中考英语阅读理解编习题（8）附答案【能力选练】 A（中考训练题）People often think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.1．This passage is probably from ___________.A． a book review    B． a science bookC． a school report    D． a computer magazine2．According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago ?A． Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.B． Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.C． The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D． The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.3．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?A． 气候恶劣的    B． 充满危险的    C． 困难重重的    D． 无人居住的4．The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is _____________.A． that the temperature suddenly drops        B． that the water under the ice is frozenC． that the ocean water under the ice moves    D． that the surface is covered with lots of ice5．What does this passage mainly talk about?A． The thick ice in the North Pole.B． A difficult trip to the North Pole.C． The real situation in the North Pole.D． The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普文，介绍了北极点的有关情况。首先指出北极和南极并不像人们想象的那么相像，接着从冰层厚、气温低等方面介绍恶劣的环境，然后插入了100多年前两个人克服重重困难走到北极的故事，证明了北极的大部分地区无人居住。最后介绍了海水在冰下的运动常常会引起表面上许多不同的变化。1．题意：这篇文章可能是从___________。考查综合理解题。A. a book review一本书评；B. a science book一本科学书；C. a school report一则学术报告；D. a computer magazine一本计算机杂志。短文是一则科普文，根据它的体裁，应该摘自于科学书。故选B。2．题意：根据这篇文章，大约100年前发生了什么？考查细节理解题。A. Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.两个人成功地到达了北极点。根据About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties.可知，说法正确，可选。B. Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.北极点的温度超过华氏32度。根据原文句子Temperatures seldom go above 32°F ，可知温度极少能超过华氏32度，故说法错误。C. The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.北极的环境突然变得更糟了，短文没有提及，故说法错误。D. The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.北极由于气温变化变成厚厚的冰，根据However, this is not true in the Arctic.可知，说法错误。根据文意，可知选A。3．题意：下划线的“uninhabited”这个词在汉语中是什么意思？考查词义理解题。few一点，表否定意义。根据下文提示Few people can live in such a difficult place.，可知很少有人能生活在这样困难的地方。故选D。4．题意：冰块断做两口水道的原因是___________。考查细节理解题。A. that the temperature suddenly drops气温突然下降；B. that the water under the ice is frozen冰下的水结冰了；C. that the ocean water under the ice moves冰下的海水移动了；D. that the surface is covered with lots of ice表面覆盖着很多冰。根据短文最后的内容The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water called “leads”.，可知选C。5．题意：这篇文章主要讲的是什么？考查文意理解和综合理解题。A. The thick ice in the North Pole. 北极点厚厚的冰；B. A difficult trip to the North Pole. 艰难的北极点之行；C. The real situation in the North Pole. 北极点的实际情况；D. The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole. 北极点和南极点之间的差异。本文的主要内容就是介绍北极点的有关情况。根据文意，可知选C。点睛：对于阅读理解题，首先要粗读文章了解大意，其次通过细读，理解全文。在粗读的基础上，仔细阅读题后所给的题目，根据题目要求，再有重点地返回来仔细阅读。在阅读理解的题目中，所设问题主要有以下几种方式：找主题或概括文章的中心思想、就文中的具体事实和情节进行提问、根据文章的表层意思进行深层次的推理判断等，在细读时，要根据设问的方式，进行有侧重地阅读。1、概括文章中心思想。1)文首呈现主题句。2)文尾出现主题句。3)首尾呼应展现主题。4)文中表述主题。前面提出问题，文中的主题由随之陈述的细节或合乎逻辑的引申在文中导出，而后再做进一步的解释。5)文章没有主题句。在这种情况下，考生要把所有的细节综合起来。进行逻辑推理，概括归纳出文章的主题句。2.掌握文章的具体事实和重要情节。在考题中，经常会见到就文章中某一具体事实和重要情节进行测试的题目。例如，第4题，题意：冰块断做两口水道的原因是___________。考查细节理解题。A. that the temperature suddenly drops气温突然下降；B. that the water under the ice is frozen冰下的水结冰了；C. that the ocean water under the ice moves冰下的海水移动了；D. that the surface is covered with lots of ice表面覆盖着很多冰。根据短文最后的内容The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water called “leads”.，可知选C。这就要求考生在阅读时要注意辨认和记忆具体事实，重要情节，事物的起因、过程、结果及发生的地点、时间等，这些都有可能作为测试点。还有一些测试题，要求考生在理解的基础上，通过自己的思维将理解的内容系统化，比如计算、排序等题型。 【能力选练】 B中考英语阅读理解****外星人Shlander is a man from space.

He had forgotten her name. Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with saying like “Oh, my god! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.1.The first two paragraphs just tell us             .A．Barbara was a very rich person．     B．examples of memory problems C．Mark often forgot his friends’ names D．language problems of two persons2．When you forget things, you _______.A．must be too careless              B．shouldn’t take notice of the resultC．must accept the fact              D．shouldn’t lose heart about your memory 3．The word “opportunities” in the fifth paragraph means “_______.”A．places       B．doctors.        C．chances         D．positions 4．According to the passage, _____ can make your memory better.A．realizing your memory problems    B．talking to your friendsC．doing sports every day         D．making mind pictures of what you see5．The purpose of the passage is to help you ______.A．to introduce the guest         B．to improve your memory C．to remember new words         D．to forget unhappy things【参考答案】1—5、BDCDB
