第04讲 阅读理解（记叙文、说明文、应用文）（广东省卷、广州、深圳）-【上好课】2025年中考英语一轮复习讲练测（广东专用）

第04讲 阅读理解（记叙文、说明文、应用文） （广东省卷、广州、深圳） 一、阅读理解记叙文命题规律 人物故事类的阅读理解是中考英语的常考材料之一。这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类。 1、人物传记主要涉及某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长和奋斗历程等，其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，脉络清楚，可读性较强。 2、短篇故事与人物传记不同的是，这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查考生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。 【名师解难】 中考阅读理解体裁纷繁多样，但每套试卷通常包含一到两篇记叙文。记叙文是中考必考题型，在所有的阅读体裁中，记叙文的难度相对是比较低的。如果掌握了阅读的技巧，多多实践，阅读能力就有可能大大提高。要熟练掌握记叙文的阅读技巧，了解记叙文的写作特点与命题特点也是有必要的。 1、记叙文写作特点 记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来，描绘事物和人物情景状态、过程及发展的文体。消息、通讯、传记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体，都属于记叙文的范畴。 就写作顺序而言，记叙文要么是按时间顺序，要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。不管是哪种叙述方法，最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟，这是记叙文的精华所在，也是阅读的难点所在，可谓“一篇之妙，在于落句”。 2、记叙文命题特点 从命题形式上看，常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。除了推论或词义辨识题，记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进，否则就会觉得别扭，逻辑不通。同时，记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑，一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解，因此，我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目，则取决于文章的落句，集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。总之，细节题是记叙文命题的主流题型。而寓意之类的题则是高一层次的题，有一定的难度和区分度，它们是拉开距离的题，答对了这些题，你才有可能成功地跻身高分之列。综上所述，记叙文的应对策略即：不漏细节，奠定基础；把准寓意，方能成功。 中考英语中的记叙文，往往采用明暗双线的写作手法。命题点往往会在双线的起承转合点设定。 【思维导图·网络构建】 【阅读理解记叙文真题演练10篇】 Passage 1 （2024·广东广州·中考真题）Ffh. Ffh. Ffh! It was not just the empty nest (鸟巢) of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy ran home through the woods. “Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind. In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed. Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family. When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan. The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone. . . The days grew longer again. One morning. Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call. Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee!

A week later, the birds were gone...”和最后一段“Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds.

However, it wasn’t until 1910 that the first criminal in the USA was convicted (被判有罪) using fingerprint evidence. Early on the morning of September 19, 1910, Hiller’s wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away. Hiller’s wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers’ house. The only problem was no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller’s wife, only several hours before Hiller’s death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint. During the trial (审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller’s murder. Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals. 1．What helped the police convict the murderer of Hiller? A． B． C． D． 2．Which paragraph shows how Hiller was killed? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 3．What is the right order of the case? ①The stranger shot Hiller twice and ran away. ②Jennings was convicted of Hiller’s murder. ③Hiller saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. ④Hiller painted some wood near the kitchen window. ⑤The police found Jennings’ fingerprints in the wet paint. ⑥The police caught Jennings, not far from the Hillers’ house. A．③→④→①→⑤→⑥→② B．③→④→⑤→①→②→⑥ C．④→③→①→⑤→②→⑥ D．④→③→①→⑥→⑤→② 4．How does the writer end the passage? A．By drawing a conclusion. B．By providing a surprise ending, C．By leading in a question.

It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful. Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are probably doing something different. You can simply refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled object is usually in the same, or even better condition. Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modem-day upcycling come from the old times. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful. Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn’t be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful. It’s clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling. Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work, but recycling requires energy (能源) or water to break down things. Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they’re dry, she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of artworks. In fact, no matter you create objects from old things or buy ready-made products from upcycled things, both ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that’s both beautiful and useful. Get started today! 1．What does the underlined word “refashion” mean in paragraph 2? A．Break down useless things. B．Collect used things. C．Create things out of old ones. D．Come up with good ideas. 2．How is upcycling different from recycling? A．It’s a completely new idea. B．It needs more energy. C．It requires more time and work. D．It’s a greener way of life. 3．Why does the writer tell the story of Grace in paragraph 5? A．To list the steps of doing upcycling. B．To give a good example of upcycling. C．To express a different idea of upcycling. D．To provide basic knowledge of upcycling. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage people to do upcycling. B．To introduce the history of upcycling. C．To compare upcycling with recycling. D．To explain the importance of recycling 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了升级回收 （upcycling）的概念、与普通回收（recycling）的区别、其环保优势以及通过 Grace 的故事展示了 “升级回收 ” 的实际应用，旨在鼓励人们进行“升级回收 ”。 1． 词义猜测题。根据“ For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt”可知，refashion的意思是“用旧的东西创造新的东西”，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“It’s clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling”可知，“升级回收”是一种更环保的生活方式，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and tums them into dresses, shoes and even hats”可知，作者通过Grace的故事来举一个“升级回收 ”的好例子，故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Get started today!”以及全文内容可知，文章的主要目的是鼓励人们进行“升级回收 ”，故选A。 Passage 2 （2024·广东·中考真题）People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A．Humans may not like animals. B．Scientists know nothing about it. C．Nobody knows why this happens. D．A new study adds chickens to the list. 2．Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A．B．C． D． 3．How did the volunteers help with the research? A．By listening to the chicken calls. B．By taking care of the chickens. C．By finding food for the chickens. D．By making the chickens happy. 4．What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Control. B．Hide. C．Recognize. D．Hurt. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Chickens’ Food Calls B．Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C．Farmers’ Best Choice D．Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文进行一个研究，研究结果表明人类可以通过听鸡的叫声来判断它是高兴还是悲伤。 1．推理判断题。根据“In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ... It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.”可知，空前提到牛、青蛙和熊猫，空后提到鸡，选项D “一项新的研究将鸡加入了这个名单” 符合语境，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds”可知，当鸡看到门后有食物时，它们似乎很高兴，并发出快速而响亮的声音。选项D符合 “快速而响亮的声音” 这一描述，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“The recordings were played to 194 volunteers.”可知，这些录音播放给194名志愿者听，所以志愿者们是通过听鸡叫来帮助这项研究，故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据“Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings.”可知，一些科学家已经在研究一种可以……鸡的情感的智能计算机程序。联系前文可知，是为了识别鸡的情感，故选C。 5．最佳标题题。本文介绍研究结果表明人类可以通过听鸡的叫声来判断它是高兴还是悲伤，选项B “快乐的鸡，悲伤的鸡” 符合主题，故选B。 Passage 3 （2024·广东深圳·中考真题）A recent TV series To the Wonder has become China’s breakout TV hit of the year.

Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 2．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 3．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 5．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文作者通过科学家10年对金枪鱼的研究数据，向读者说明由于人们对鱼类需求的增加，造成了海洋生态系统的破坏，呼吁人们保护海洋中的野生动物。 1．推理判断题。根据“After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world’s oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery...”可知，作者根据科学家研究发现事实引入本文内容。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子后面内容“Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat.”可知，很多人从鱼肉中获取蛋白质，医生也称赞海洋食物低脂肪，推测出因此造成了对鱼类需求的增加。因此，demand意为“需求”，与need同义。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down.”可知，金枪鱼在生态系统中起着重要作用。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear.”和“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs”可知，作者通过本文想要呼吁人们保护海洋中的野生动物。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“ ‘If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,’ says Morgan. ‘Then decide what you’re going to eat.’ ”可知，作者在最后一段表明了我们需要反思我们自己的价值观和信仰，故选C。 Passage 5 （2024·广东广州·中考真题） Many people know that robots explore space and build things in factories.

A new study suggests that by sharing “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy. Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet (饮食) of processed food is not healthy for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is not good for our pet dogs, either. The scientists discovered that the food a dog might find in an owner’s home such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of food leads to more variety (多样性) in microbes, which are little living things, too small to be seen with our eyes. There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest (消化) food. A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what food they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs reached adulthood, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life. Dr. Anna Hielm Bjorkman told The Times of London, “Dog food on sale is described as providing a complete diet. But what we show is that variety is important. Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child—why should a dog be different?” 1．According to the new study, dog owners ________. A．must offer dry food to their dogs B．can feed dogs on “people food” C．had better buy more processed food D．shouldn’t make food by themselves 2．Paragraph 3 mainly explains why ________. A．dogs need different kinds of food B．little living things stay in human bodies C．scientists study dry processed food D．people should keep dogs at home 3．How does the writer describe the study in Paragraph 4 to make it believable? A．By using pictures. B．By giving examples. C．By telling stories. D．By listing numbers. 4．Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from? A．History. B．Business. C．Science. D．Culture. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了一项研究发现，与仅喂食狗粮相比，给狗提供多样化的“人类食物”可能有助于保持其健康，并减少成年后患慢性肠胃不适症状的风险。 1．细节理解题。根据“A new study suggests that by sharing ‘people food’, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.”可知，根据新研究，狗主人可以给狗喂“人类食品”。故选B。 2．段落大意题。根据“The scientists discovered that the food a dog might find in an owner’s home such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. ... many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest (消化) food.”可知，狗在主人家中找到的食物如鸡蛋、鱼、肉和蔬菜，可能比单一的狗粮更好，因为多样化的食物可以增加体内有益微生物的种类，有助于消化。由此推知本段解释了为什么狗需要吃多种类的食物。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study.”，“about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight loss”和“However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life.”可知，作者通过列数字，使其研究更可信。故选D。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了一项研究发现，与仅喂食狗粮相比，给狗提供多样化的“人类食物”可能有助于保持其健康，并减少成年后患慢性肠胃不适症状的风险。由此推知，本文可能来自杂志的“科学”部分。故选C。 Passage 7 （2024·江苏淮安·中考真题）Just one bite of cake with eggs is enough to make John feel very sick. Susan gets a terrible skin (皮肤) problem whenever she eats anything containing seafood, and David nearly died when he first ate a peanut cookie The body’s reaction (反应) to certain foods can be quite serious resulting in breathing problems or even the death. There are many things we eat that may cause our bodies to react badly if we have a food allergy (过敏). There are three common ways to test food allergies. Probably the simplest way is to give a child a food test. The doctor watches the child eat a little certain food to see if the child has an allergic reaction. This method takes quite a long time so it is used less often than the other two methods—skin tests and blood tests. In a skin test, a doctor puts allergens under the child’s skin and then waits to see if the child’s skin reacts. In a blood test, doctors take some of the child’s blood and add allergens to it and then check the blood. Dr. Jennifer from Stanford University spent 10 years studying the methods. She found a surprising fact. Skin tests or blood tests given to patients who visited their doctor for treatment of skin problems or stomachaches showed that these patients were allergic to certain foods. However, later tests showed that although they tested positive (阳性), fewer than 50 percent of them actually had food allergies. The problem might be food intolerance (不耐受) instead of a food allergy. Food allergies have something to do with a person’s immune system, while food intolerance has something to do with a person’s digestive system and the reaction is usually less serious. One of the most common kinds of food intolerance happens to people who have trouble taking in the sugar in food like milk, cheese and ice cream. Though allergy tests may show false positive results, they are still useful and can save lives. Some children’s food allergies may disappear as they grow older, so even though doctors don’t cure food allergies, sometimes the body itself does. 1．The underlined word “allergens” refers to (指的是) ________. A．something that hurts people’s skin B．something that protects people’s skin C．something that prevents an allergic reaction D．something that causes an allergic reaction 2．What can we learn from Dr. Jennifer’s study? A．Patients who tested positive may have food intolerance. B．Skin tests are much better than blood tests. C．Stomachaches are usually caused by food allergies. D．People with food intolerance should avoid food with sugar. 3．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．Food allergy—Can we cure it? B．Food allergy—How to test it. C．Food allergy tests—Can we trust them? D．Food allergy tests—How to improve them. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种常见的方法可以检测食物过敏，虽然过敏测试可能会显示假阳性结果，但它们仍然有用，可以挽救生命。 1．词义猜测题。根据“In a skin test, a doctor puts allergens under the child's skin and then waits to see if the child’s skin reacts”可知在皮肤测试中，医生将过敏原放在孩子的皮肤下，然后等待孩子的皮肤是否有反应，故此处划线部分指代“引起过敏反应的东西”。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“although they tested positive (阳性), fewer than 50 percent of them actually had food allergies. The problem might be food intolerance (不耐受) instead of a food allergy.”可知检测呈阳性的患者可能存在食物不耐受。故选A。 3．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了三种常见的方法可以检测食物过敏，虽然过敏测试可能会显示假阳性结果，但它们仍然有用，可以挽救生命，以选项C“食物过敏测试——我们能相信它们吗”为标题最合适。故选C。 Passage 8 （2024·江苏常州·中考真题）①China published the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic (地质的) atlas (地图集) on April 21. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration. ②“These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations,” Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. “They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars.” ③The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. “As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,” said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher. ④Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China’s Chang’e Program. Information from other research projects and international tasks was also used. ⑤The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1: 2.5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks. A total of 12,341 impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked. ⑥This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes, such as lunar resources research and science education. Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. “Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,” he explained. ⑦“Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers,” said Gregory Michael, a German scientist. “It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.” 1．What is the great value of the new atlas? A．It is the first lunar geologic atlas in the world. B．It proves the hard work of Chinese scientists. C．It will meet the future needs in lunar studies. D．It is built on information from many researches. 2．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．The large size and mystery of the moon. B．The discovery of Chang’e Program. C．The details of the new geologic atlas. D．The challenges the scientists face. 3．How does the writer prove “This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes”? A．By comparing different purposes. B．By using Chang’e-6 task as an example. C．By using a German scientist’s words. D．By listing information from the new maps. 4．What does “It” in the last paragraph refer to(指代)? A．Scientific support. B．The lunar research. C．Effort from researchers. D．Compiling the atlas. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国发布的世界上首个高清晰度月球地质图集及其重要性。 1． 推理判断题。根据“However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. ‘As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,’”可知，旧的月球地质图集已经不能满足未来的需求，而新的图集将满足未来月球研究的需求。故选C。 2．主旨大意题。根据“Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020…impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked”可知，第五段主要介绍了新地质图集的详细信息。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. ‘Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,’”可知，作者通过使用嫦娥六号任务作为例子来证明“这个图集将有很多有用的用途”。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据“‘Compiling the atlas was a huge task… ‘It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.’”可知，It指代的是“Compiling the atlas编制图集”。故选D。 Passage 9 （2024·江苏无锡·中考真题） A theory of emotionTwo scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion. A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation. The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind. The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”. The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger. 1．What is the main finding of the new study? A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of reducing anger. C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger. 2．What can we learn about calming activities? A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate. C．They are good for mind health. D．They are good for heart health. 3．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid? A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm. C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly. 4．The following sentence can best be put at the end of ________. They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了关于情绪的两因素理论，以及一项新的研究发现，即减少愤怒感觉的关键不是发泄，而是做一些如瑜伽或冥想等平静的活动。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.”可知，新的研究发现，减少愤怒感觉的关键不是发泄，而是做一些如瑜伽或冥想等平静的活动，故这项新的研究主要发现了一些可以减少愤怒的好的活动。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga.”可知，那些能够减少身体反应的活动，即深呼吸、冥想和瑜伽等平静的活动有助于减少愤怒感觉。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out.”可知，文章指出，当我们看到一只熊时，我们的身体可能会做出反应，比如心跳得很快，出汗。故可知当我们看到一条蛇并感到害怕时，我们心跳也会加快。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.”可知，团队发现一些增加心率的活动，如球类运动和团队运动，可能会减少愤怒。这表明有趣的活动有助于减少负面情绪。故这句话可以放在第四自然段的结尾。故选D。 Passage 10 （2024·福建·中考真题）Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore (探索) the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4, 700 species (物种) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的), everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1, 000 times greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 1．Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce how important oceans are. B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out. C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth. D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans. 2．What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea? A．High technology. B．Unknown species. C．A pleasant environment. D．Valuable information. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Sea animals. B．The seas. C．The satellites. D．Many scientists. 4．What can we learn from the text? A．It is difficult to build a navigable submarine. B．The seas have a strong influence on our future. C．The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters. D．It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think. 5．What could be the best title of the text? A．Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B．Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea C．Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D．Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了了解海洋的重要性。 1．推理判断题。根据“Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them.…”可知列举的数字表明，尽管海洋覆盖地球的71%，但是我们仍然知之甚少。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea.”和“Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites.”可知探索深海需要高科技的帮助。故选A。 3．词义推断题。根据“Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas.”可知虽然我们有困难，但了解海洋是很重要的。此处they指代上文的seas。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.”可知我们的未来取决于更多地了解我们的海洋，说明海洋对我们的未来有很大影响。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了探索海洋的重要性，根据“Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult?”可知主要是介绍深海探究的现状，并不是过去与未来。故选C。 三、阅读理解应用文命题规律 中考英语中的应用文，命题特点显著，以搜寻直接信息为主，往往涵盖人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等的考查。因此，学生在备考应用文阅读时，应重点掌握寻读策略，带着问题有针对性地到文中快速寻找答案。 【名师解难】 一、文章类型 阅读理解之应用文包含广告、招聘、咨询和建议、通知等类型的文章。 二、满分技巧 解答广告图表类题，要仔细阅读表格中的内容，表格类阅读材料一般都直观地表达出所要传递的信息。考生只要能看懂各个项目的意义，即可找出所设问题的答案。这类材料一般不涉及难度太大的题目。 纵观历年各省市的中考题可以看出广告图表类的文章在阅读理解中占有相当大的比重，一般四篇阅读理解中至少有一篇是广告图表类。广告图表类的文章属于应用文的行列。考生在阅读这类材料时，主要从两方面入手： 一是了解图表的主题，确定图表的主要内容， 二是推敲图画上的文字或数字，找出它们之间的关联或试图表达的含义。 【思维导图·网络构建】 【阅读理解应用文真题演练10篇】 Passage 1 （2024·广东广州·中考真题） I don’t believe it! I’m still sitting here writing my paper. I’ve had two weeks to prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow. A month ago, I made a decision to never leave things to the last minute. Well, I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school for four weeks. But I really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one? I’ve just read an article and I’ve discovered that it isn’t my problem! In fact, it’s our brains. Our brains are programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. Research shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices. It’s just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now? Got it!” If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly, it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it. But that’s not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and accept a new habit as part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner. So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I’ve finished my paper on time! Anything is possible! By Ana 1．Who is Ana? A．A schoolgirl. B．A brain scientist. C．A teacher. D．A sports coach. 2．What can be a reason why it’s hard to break a bad habit? A．Our brains avoid doing things repeatedly. B．Our brains are not programmed to notice it. C．Our brains need relaxation from time to time. D．Our brains enjoy getting the rewards from doing it. 3．How many more weeks will it take Ana to develop her habit of running after school? A．Four. B．Six. C．Eight. D．Ten. 4．What does Ana want to tell us at the end of the passage? A．You’d better finish your paper on time. B．Don’t forget to make a plan beforehand. C．Stick with the ways you are doing habits. D．It depends on you to control your habits. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者Ana在尝试改变坏习惯和形成好习惯时遇到的困难，并解释了这些困难背后的科学原因。 1．细节理解题。根据“I’ve also been trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school ”可知，Ana提到自己在写论文并且和同学们一起跑步，说明她是一名学生。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit...Our brain may say, ‘Ah, relaxation! I like this!’ Slowly, it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it.”可知，很难改掉坏习惯是因为我们的大脑喜欢放松，需要时不时放松。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit.”和“I’ve also been trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school for four weeks.”可知，Ana已经跑步四周，故还需要六周。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I’ve finished my paper on time! Anything is possible!”可知，Ana以自己的真实经历想告诉我们控制习惯取决于我们自己。故选D。 Passage 2 （2024·广东·中考真题） Welcome to Top Discovery Space (TDS)!

Ffh. Ffh! It was not just the empty nest (鸟巢) of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy ran home through the woods. “Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind. In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed. Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family. When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan. The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone. . . The days grew longer again. One morning. Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call. Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” 1．What did Amy want to find out in the whole story? A．Where and how the birds spent winter. B．Why the birds and their babies came back. C．Whether the same birds would return.

Everywhere he looked, there were tons of boys of his age, laughing together, playing tennis, or swimming in the pool. John and Danny quickly found their camping tent and met their teacher. After they unpacked their travelling bags, the boys decided to go for a swim. They changed into their swimsuits and walked down to the pool. At first, John and Danny stayed in the shallow end (浅水区).

Passage 9 （2024·江苏徐州·中考真题）The police have many ways of catching criminals. One way of catching them is by fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is the study of the patterns on our fingertips. We have known that no two fingerprints are exactly the same for hundreds of years. However, it wasn’t until 1910 that the first criminal in the USA was convicted (被判有罪) using fingerprint evidence. Early on the morning of September 19, 1910, Hiller’s wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away. Hiller’s wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers’ house. The only problem was no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller’s wife, only several hours before Hiller’s death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint. During the trial (审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller’s murder. Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals. 1．What helped the police convict the murderer of Hiller? A． B． C． D． 2．Which paragraph shows how Hiller was killed? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3.

It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful. Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are probably doing something different. You can simply refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled object is usually in the same, or even better condition. Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modem-day upcycling come from the old times. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful. Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn’t be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful. It’s clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling. Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work, but recycling requires energy (能源) or water to break down things. Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they’re dry, she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of artworks. In fact, no matter you create objects from old things or buy ready-made products from upcycled things, both ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that’s both beautiful and useful. Get started today! 1．What does the underlined word “refashion” mean in paragraph 2? A．Break down useless things. B．Collect used things. C．Create things out of old ones. D．Come up with good ideas. 2．How is upcycling different from recycling? A．It’s a completely new idea. B．It needs more energy. C．It requires more time and work. D．It’s a greener way of life. 3．Why does the writer tell the story of Grace in paragraph 5? A．To list the steps of doing upcycling. B．To give a good example of upcycling. C．To express a different idea of upcycling. D．To provide basic knowledge of upcycling. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage people to do upcycling. B．To introduce the history of upcycling. C．To compare upcycling with recycling. D．To explain the importance of recycling Passage 2 （2024·广东·中考真题）People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A．Humans may not like animals. B．Scientists know nothing about it. C．Nobody knows why this happens. D．A new study adds chickens to the list. 2．Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A．B．C． D． 3．How did the volunteers help with the research? A．By listening to the chicken calls. B．By taking care of the chickens. C．By finding food for the chickens. D．By making the chickens happy. 4．What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Control. B．Hide. C．Recognize. D．Hurt. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Chickens’ Food Calls B．Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C．Farmers’ Best Choice D．Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers Passage 3 （2024·广东深圳·中考真题）A recent TV series To the Wonder has become China’s breakout TV hit of the year.

Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean. The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. “If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying. 2．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price. 3．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________. A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans. C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life. 5．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________. A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals Passage 5 （2024·广东广州·中考真题） Many people know that robots explore space and build things in factories. But did you know that there are many other kinds of robots? Let’s meet some of these robots and find out what they do. Robot 1 If your family are moving to a new house, this two-legged robot is a good helper. It can lift several heavy boxes and carry them to the moving truck before returning inside for more. It has the ability to walk more carefully and skillfully than other robots. Robot 2 Powered by the sun, this robot works in a forest. It keeps an eye on everything from animal movements to the forest’s temperature, then sends the information back to the scientists.

Passage 6 （2024·浙江·中考真题）Do you get in trouble for feeding your dog on food from dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy. Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet (饮食) of processed food is not healthy for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is not good for our pet dogs, either. The scientists discovered that the food a dog might find in an owner’s home such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of food leads to more variety (多样性) in microbes, which are little living things, too small to be seen with our eyes. There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest (消化) food. A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what food they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs reached adulthood, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life. Dr. Anna Hielm Bjorkman told The Times of London, “Dog food on sale is described as providing a complete diet. But what we show is that variety is important. Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child—why should a dog be different?” 1．According to the new study, dog owners ________. A．must offer dry food to their dogs B．can feed dogs on “people food” C．had better buy more processed food D．shouldn’t make food by themselves 2．Paragraph 3 mainly explains why ________. A．dogs need different kinds of food B．little living things stay in human bodies C．scientists study dry processed food D．people should keep dogs at home 3．How does the writer describe the study in Paragraph 4 to make it believable? A．By using pictures. B．By giving examples. C．By telling stories. D．By listing numbers. 4．Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from? A．History. B．Business. C．Science. D．Culture. Passage 7 （2024·江苏淮安·中考真题）Just one bite of cake with eggs is enough to make John feel very sick. Susan gets a terrible skin (皮肤) problem whenever she eats anything containing seafood, and David nearly died when he first ate a peanut cookie The body’s reaction (反应) to certain foods can be quite serious resulting in breathing problems or even the death. There are many things we eat that may cause our bodies to react badly if we have a food allergy (过敏). There are three common ways to test food allergies. Probably the simplest way is to give a child a food test. The doctor watches the child eat a little certain food to see if the child has an allergic reaction. This method takes quite a long time so it is used less often than the other two methods—skin tests and blood tests. In a skin test, a doctor puts allergens under the child’s skin and then waits to see if the child’s skin reacts. In a blood test, doctors take some of the child’s blood and add allergens to it and then check the blood. Dr. Jennifer from Stanford University spent 10 years studying the methods. She found a surprising fact. Skin tests or blood tests given to patients who visited their doctor for treatment of skin problems or stomachaches showed that these patients were allergic to certain foods. However, later tests showed that although they tested positive (阳性), fewer than 50 percent of them actually had food allergies. The problem might be food intolerance (不耐受) instead of a food allergy. Food allergies have something to do with a person’s immune system, while food intolerance has something to do with a person’s digestive system and the reaction is usually less serious. One of the most common kinds of food intolerance happens to people who have trouble taking in the sugar in food like milk, cheese and ice cream. Though allergy tests may show false positive results, they are still useful and can save lives. Some children’s food allergies may disappear as they grow older, so even though doctors don’t cure food allergies, sometimes the body itself does. 1．The underlined word “allergens” refers to (指的是) ________. A．something that hurts people’s skin B．something that protects people’s skin C．something that prevents an allergic reaction D．something that causes an allergic reaction 2．What can we learn from Dr. Jennifer’s study? A．Patients who tested positive may have food intolerance. B．Skin tests are much better than blood tests. C．Stomachaches are usually caused by food allergies. D．People with food intolerance should avoid food with sugar. 3．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．Food allergy—Can we cure it? B．Food allergy—How to test it. C．Food allergy tests—Can we trust them? D．Food allergy tests—How to improve them. Passage 8 （2024·江苏常州·中考真题）①China published the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic (地质的) atlas (地图集) on April 21. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration. ②“These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations,” Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. “They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars.” ③The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. “As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,” said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher. ④Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China’s Chang’e Program. Information from other research projects and international tasks was also used. ⑤The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1: 2.5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks. A total of 12,341 impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked. ⑥This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes, such as lunar resources research and science education. Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. “Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,” he explained. ⑦“Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers,” said Gregory Michael, a German scientist. “It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.” 1．What is the great value of the new atlas? A．It is the first lunar geologic atlas in the world. B．It proves the hard work of Chinese scientists. C．It will meet the future needs in lunar studies. D．It is built on information from many researches. 2．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．The large size and mystery of the moon. B．The discovery of Chang’e Program. C．The details of the new geologic atlas. D．The challenges the scientists face. 3．How does the writer prove “This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes”? A．By comparing different purposes. B．By using Chang’e-6 task as an example. C．By using a German scientist’s words. D．By listing information from the new maps. 4．What does “It” in the last paragraph refer to(指代)? A．Scientific support. B．The lunar research. C．Effort from researchers. D．Compiling the atlas. Passage 9 （2024·江苏无锡·中考真题） A theory of emotionTwo scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion. A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation. The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind. The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”. The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger. 1．What is the main finding of the new study? A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of reducing anger. C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger. 2．What can we learn about calming activities? A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate. C．They are good for mind health. D．They are good for heart health. 3．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid? A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm. C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly. 4．The following sentence can best be put at the end of ________. They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 Passage 10 （2024·福建·中考真题）Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore (探索) the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4, 700 species (物种) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的), everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1, 000 times greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 1．Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce how important oceans are. B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out. C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth. D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans. 2．What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea? A．High technology. B．Unknown species. C．A pleasant environment. D．Valuable information. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Sea animals. B．The seas. C．The satellites. D．Many scientists. 4．What can we learn from the text? A．It is difficult to build a navigable submarine. B．The seas have a strong influence on our future. C．The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters. D．It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think. 5．What could be the best title of the text? A．Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B．Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea C．Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D．Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future 三、阅读理解应用文命题规律 中考英语中的应用文，命题特点显著，以搜寻直接信息为主，往往涵盖人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等的考查。因此，学生在备考应用文阅读时，应重点掌握寻读策略，带着问题有针对性地到文中快速寻找答案。 【名师解难】 一、文章类型 阅读理解之应用文包含广告、招聘、咨询和建议、通知等类型的文章。 二、满分技巧 解答广告图表类题，要仔细阅读表格中的内容，表格类阅读材料一般都直观地表达出所要传递的信息。考生只要能看懂各个项目的意义，即可找出所设问题的答案。这类材料一般不涉及难度太大的题目。 纵观历年各省市的中考题可以看出广告图表类的文章在阅读理解中占有相当大的比重，一般四篇阅读理解中至少有一篇是广告图表类。广告图表类的文章属于应用文的行列。考生在阅读这类材料时，主要从两方面入手： 一是了解图表的主题，确定图表的主要内容， 二是推敲图画上的文字或数字，找出它们之间的关联或试图表达的含义。 【思维导图·网络构建】 【阅读理解应用文真题演练10篇】 Passage 1 （2024·广东广州·中考真题） I don’t believe it! I’m still sitting here writing my paper. I’ve had two weeks to prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow. A month ago, I made a decision to never leave things to the last minute. Well, I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school for four weeks. But I really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one? I’ve just read an article and I’ve discovered that it isn’t my problem! In fact, it’s our brains. Our brains are programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. Research shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices. It’s just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now? Got it!” If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly, it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it. But that’s not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and accept a new habit as part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner. So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I’ve finished my paper on time! Anything is possible! By Ana 1．Who is Ana? A．A schoolgirl. B．A brain scientist. C．A teacher. D．A sports coach. 2．What can be a reason why it’s hard to break a bad habit? A．Our brains avoid doing things repeatedly. B．Our brains are not programmed to notice it. C．Our brains need relaxation from time to time. D．Our brains enjoy getting the rewards from doing it. 3．How many more weeks will it take Ana to develop her habit of running after school? A．Four. B．Six. C．Eight. D．Ten. 4．What does Ana want to tell us at the end of the passage? A．You’d better finish your paper on time. B．Don’t forget to make a plan beforehand. C．Stick with the ways you are doing habits. D．It depends on you to control your habits. Passage 2 （2024·广东·中考真题） Welcome to Top Discovery Space (TDS)!
