一、中考英语阅读理解汇编
1.阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。
What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.
When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality.
Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic.
They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive.
So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people. (1)What is the passage mainly about?
A. Environmental protection. B. The world of tomorrow. C. Advantages of technology. (2)What do we learn from the passage?
A. Some people think technology development may bring new problems B. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap. C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.
(3)What is the correct structure of the passage? (P1=Paragraph1)
A. B. C.
(4)What does the underlined word \"they\" refer to?
A. Car companies. B. 3D print. C. Body parts.

【解析】【分析】文章大意:本文主要介绍很多人对2050年对未来世界的两个预测。私人飞车和3D打印机。

Swimming at the beach or in a backyard pool are well-known Australian summer activities. But while it is usually a fun time of year, there is a serious side to summer that you might not know about.
The terrible heat, which can go above 40℃ in some cities, is very dangerous. There are lots of trees and dry grass in the areas far away that can easily catch fire. Even throwing a burning cigarette out of a car window can start a dangerous fire. That is why summer is also known as \"bushfire(丛林大火)season\" in Australia.
In February there were more than 80 different bushfires burning at the same time in New South Wales, a southeastern state of Australia. The Guardian newspaper reported that 42 homes were burned to the ground because of these fires. These homes are not like Chinese ones. They are huge farms. Many Australian properties(房产) are larger than 1,000 sq km, while the biggest is more than 20,000 sq km, even larger than Beijing!
Every family prepares for bushfire season and protects their property(财产). But sometimes the fires are too big and people have to move to safety.
The hot weather also causes other problems. It was so hot in February that thousands of bats(蝙蝠) died from the heat. People can get sick if they stay outside for too long or they don't drink enough water. The heat can also cause power problems for homes and business.
The Australian summer is enjoyable. But it is worth remembering that the heat can cause lots of problems, too.

B. There are more fire accidents in the areas far away. C. It's dangerous to smoke in a forest.

It challenged the world's top players to show how much progress it had made over the past few years.

Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. \"As I was walking, I just saw Jack running into the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out,\" said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. \"Someone else told me the lake was only one meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I didn't think I had ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!\"
A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. \"The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming.

Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber-he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.
Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid—back about it, \"Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead near any icy pond.

He quickly learned there wasn't a simple answer. The boy tried to work it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of reducing plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011.
Cress started the project in his hometown – Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.
For the years that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban (禁止) plastic straws.
Plastic pollution has been one of the most serious problems today. According to scientists, more than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. Plastic straws are especially terrible. They make it easy for people to get comfortable with single-use plastics.
After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has since spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧场).He has let me use his ranch to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he told me his story. When he was young, his family is too 1 to have a house to live in. When he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 2 he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday 3 a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great 4 and he even drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, \"See me after class.\" Roberts went to see the teacher and asked, \"Why did I receive an F?\" His teacher said, \"This is a(an) 5 dream for a young boy like you. Having a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There's no way you could ever do it.\" Then the teacher added, \"If you will rewrite this paper with a more possible goal, I will reconsider your 6 .\"
The boy went home and thought about it for a 7 and hard time. He asked his father what he should do.

He told his teacher,\" You could keep the F and I will 10 keep my dream.\"
Monty tells me this story because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of his 200-acre horse ranch. He said kids' dreams can be stolen. Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
