中考复习说明文专项练习 一、阅读理解 Have you ever beard of Iceland? Iceland is a country, one-tenth of which is covered with ice. However, it is said that Iceland is the land of heat. Smoking volcanoes (火山), white steam (蒸汽) and hot springs are more amazing than the other sights including ice there. It has taken millions of years for volcanoes and lava flows (熔岩流) to build Iceland. When hiking through one of Iceland’s many ancient lava fields, you may notice something strange. White steam is rising from each vent in front of you. Iceland is covered with vents which steam can pass out of. The steam comes from naturally heated rocks and hot water below the Earth’s surface (表面). Like steam vents, hot springs can be seen here and there in the ancient lava fields. Blue Lake is the most famous hot spring in Iceland. It isn’t far from the capital city of the country. The water and white earth in it can make your skin as soft as a newborn baby’s skin. Enjoy that water, because it has traveled a long way. It starts nearly two kilometers under Blue Lake. There, water from the ocean continues moving up slowly into the spaces between hot rocks below the surface. And then the water is heated by hot rocks. Powerful machines and long pipes (水管) help bring the heated water to the surface. People in Iceland use natural hot water for hot springs. Besides, they use it to create electricity that can be used to heat homes and even greenhouses. Iceland is one of the few places on the Earth where active volcanoes lie below ice. Heat from the volcanoes creates a strange and wild beauty. Therefore, some people believe that it’s better to call the country “Heatland” instead of Iceland. If you have a chance to travel there, take it. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 1．From the passage, are the most amazing sights in Iceland.

My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals. Each kind of animal is given special food. For example, the lions must be given meat; the deer must be given grass and leaves; and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won’t let the others eat their food. If this happens, each of them must be fed separately (分离地). Every morning each cage must be washed by the zoo keepers. This can be dangerous, especially with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject a sick lion! All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public holidays. Instead, each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers. The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. People must be prevented from doing dangerous things. Many people have been injured because they did careless things, like putting their hands into the lion’s cage. 根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 21．What kind of food must be given to the animals like tigers, lions and bears?

Now many restaurants in China, such as in Henan,Chongqing and Yunnan, have joined the program. You can pay 10 yuan for a meal, which should be sold at 16, and leave it at the restaurant. Then other people in need, such as the disabled（残疾人）， the poor elderly or homeless children,can have it without paying. This idea comes from the cafes (咖啡馆) in Naples, Italy. It's a tradition that someone there pays in advance for an extra (额外的) cup or two. Then another coffee-drinker can take them for free. “The program is meaningful. It offers help with dignity（尊严），” said Gao to Xinhua. However, people are worried that someone who is able to pay would also ask for the suspended meals, so there should be rules for this program. 71．According to the passage, this program may possibly take place .

Together with other students, Yang Xuelan ran out to the playground. She was safe. But all her textbooks and exercise books were buried（埋）in the teaching building.

At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language. One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate. Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures. Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems. The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced. 【小题 1】What is the passage mainly about? A. The benefits of learning other languages. B. The reasons why people come to America. C. The importance of learning English. D. How to learn another language. 【小题 2】The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to_______. A. discuss the need for teaching a new language B. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers C. describe the advantages of moving to another country D. show the problems of speaking only one language 【小题 3】The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 5) means “people who know ______.” A. their mother language B. a new language C. more than one language D. body language 【小题 4】According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can____. A. find a better job B. make more friends C. better understand history D. communicate more independently 【小题 5】Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst? A. Not knowing another language. B. Forgetting one’s mother language. C. Refusing to learn another language. D. Failing to communicate with others. Put 2 February in your diary!

However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions. ◆Try to use new informati6n immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____" ◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (记 忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier. ◆Write out what you need to remember ever and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts. ◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay. ◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer. ◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough. All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory. 92．How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 93．Which should be put in the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2？ A. Hello, Carlos. B. How do you do? C. Hello, I am Sophia. D. Glad to meet you! 94．What can help memorize a big number more easily according to the passage? A. To store it in a computer. B. To break it into stunner parts. C. To discuss it with a friend. D. To review it before you sleep. 95．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Discussing with friends can help you remember things. B. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep. C. Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain. D.
