(英语)中考英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析
一、中考英语阅读理解汇编
1．阅读材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old.
Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks （咔哒声）with his tongue to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar （声纳）. He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. And he started the organization World Access for the Blind （WAFTB）in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works.
"When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect （反射）off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. Each click is like a camera flash, which helps me make a 3-D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet. It's like having a conversation with the environment."
Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. "It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way," he says. "But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I've never had an accident and hurt myself."
He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. "We've served over 10, 000 students in nearly 40 countries," he tells the reporter. "Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn't in the eyes. It's in the mind."

Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the west. So these children become "satellite kids", and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a "satellite kid".
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the "satellite kids" problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school.

（an extract from a detective story）
…
"Sit down," Henderson said, sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan. "What are you here for?"
"I understand you had a parry last night" said Logan, a police officer.
"Yes," said Henderson, "Oh! I hope the neighbours haven't been complaining about the noise again. "
"Not that I know of." said Logan. "But a young girl, Fran, who came to the patty hasn't been home yet"
"Fran" said Henderson. "Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember-about one o'clock. I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning."
Henderson looked quite relaxed.
"Did you know Clare?" asked Logan suddenly.
"Oh, God!" Henderson sat forward. "You don't think ... the same thing has happened to Fran?" "We're keeping an open mind," said Logan, watching him carefully, "but we're giving it our full attention."
"Well, yes. I can understand that." replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again.
"So," repeated Logan, "did you know Clare?"
"Well, sure. I knew who she was. But we never had anything do with each other." Said Henderson, giving Logan a big smile.
"Who else was at your party?" asked Logan.
"People from the university," said Henderson. "Students, teachers."
"David?" asked Grant, Logan's partner.
"Yes, David was here for a time." Henderson smiled again. "But he's not really a party animal. He probably left early."
"What do you mean, probably?" asked Grant. Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.
"Well, I don't check when my guests arrive and leave," said Henderson. "And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don't come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find." Again he looked at Logan, raised his eyebrows and gave her a big smile. "I sometimes end up in the bedroom".

11．阅读下列短文，从文后每小题A、B、C选项中选择最佳答案。
We know people can be nice, but what about animals?
Scientists say that some animals are capable（有能力的）of being nice. Animals that live in groups-like foxes, chimpanzees（大猩猩）, and elephants-follow rules. They have to follow rules to get along and to survive（生存）. However, animals can act nicely, even when they don't have to. Here are some surprising stories about animal behavior.
Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them. Marc Bekoff, a researcher at the University of Colorado, saw a female（母的）red fox do just that. The female fox was unhappy because a male（公的）fox played roughly（粗鲁地）with her. When she walked away, the male fox showed her that he wanted to play nicely. He lowered his head and rolled on his back. The female fox gave him another chance, and this time, he played more gently.
Geza Teleki is a scientist who studies chimpanzees in Tanzania. One day, Teleki hiked far away from his campsite. He didn't have any food. Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree, but the tree was too tall. A young chimpanzee watched him curiously as he tried to get something to eat. The chimpanzee climbed the tree, picked the fruit, and gave it to him!
An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk（象鼻子）. He needed help because he couldn't put food into his mouth. Researcher Kayhan Ostovar watched silently. He saw the hurt elephant show his sore trunk to a healthy elephant. The healthy elephant didn't need any more information. He took a bush and put it carefully into his new friend's mouth.
Hippos（河马）and crocodiles are usually good friends. They hang out together in rivers. But Karen Paolillo, a wildlife expert in Zimbabwe, saw something surprising. One day, a crocodile tried to eat a monkey that was next to a river. A hippo ran quickly to the crocodile and chased it away. Why did the hippo attack（攻击）the crocodile? Paolillo says hippos sometimes protect other animals from crocodiles.

【解析】【分析】大意：文章主要通过科学家对大猩猩和大象等动物的研究，说明了有些动物是有友善待人/其他动物的能力的。
（1）主旨大意题。根据第二段Scientists say that some animals are capable（有能力的）of being nice. 科学家说，一些动物是能够友善待人/其他动物的，可知本文的主旨是一些动物是能够友善对待其他动物的。故选B。
（2）推断题。根据上文 Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them. 大多数人通常在某人对他们不友好的时候走开，可知划线部分do just that那样做，指的是也走开。故选C。
（3）推断题。根据第四段Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree, but the tree was too tall. Teleki想要从树上摘一些水果，但是树太高了，因此我们可以推断Teleki不会爬树。故选C。
（4）细节题。根据倒数第二段 An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk（象鼻子）. 可知，那只大象需要帮助是因为它的鼻子受伤了，无法把食物放进嘴里。故选B。
（5）推断题。根据 A hippo ran quickly to the crocodile and chased it away. 一只河马跑向鳄鱼，并把它赶走，可知it指代的是鳄鱼。故选A。

13．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom. There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.
Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this "rewilding".
Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests—but soon there might be!
（1）What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?
A. About 25 million.
B. Over 65 million.
C. More than 61 million.
D. Not more than four million.
（2）Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK?
A. Because more trees have been planted.
B. Because there are more large wild animals.
C. Because pollution is much worse than before.
D. Because people use new methods of farming.
（3）Which paragraph gives opinions from "rewilding" supporters?
A. Paragraph 1.
B. Paragraph 2.
C. Paragraph 3.
D. Paragraph 4.（4）What are some people against?
A. Living closer to nature.
B. Planting more and more trees.
C. Helping large wild animals return.
D. Building more villages and towns.
（5）What's the best title for the text?
A. Making Britain wild again
