2019年中考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案：勇气与坚持
2019年中考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案：勇气与坚持 各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢 In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it. On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank. In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming. But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn’t know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only I mile away.
Later people asked her about the reason. And she said: “The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to.” Too many success stories have been lecturing us about courage and persistence. But they never told us where to find courage and persistence. You can have courage only when you know where your goal is. You can manage to persist only when you know where your goal is, and prepare yourself well mentally. Courage and persistence never fall from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output. A life without goals is like a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals. 各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢

2020初三英语阅读理解及答案
2020初三英语阅读理解及答案 下面有一篇文章，希望同学们用10分钟将此题做完，然后对照讲解找到准确的答案。 Passage 1 If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星). A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels. If a comet isn’t a sta r, what is it then? Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail. Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see. An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because
