中考英语英语阅读理解练习题(及答案)
一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷 1.阅读理解
According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University, nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2019, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone.
However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it sends us unlimited amounts of information. On the other hand, using a smartphone may become an addiction.
Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university. They led the study. Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction.
And these connections form slowly over time. Also, addiction to social media may affect our emotional state. The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings. They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely, depressed and anxious.
Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction. They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction. The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts.
But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers. Enk Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook, set aside a small amount of time to it. You should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you. (1)What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. Smartphone use has become extremely common. B.

3.阅读理解 Saying no starts small
\— just one more piece...\delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end. It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say \now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.
Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.
In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.
Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems. But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles(肌肉). Even a little practice can strengthen(加强) our overall self-control if we do it regularly. You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.
Like muscles, willpower can \when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you
can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well. (1)The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to
A. prove that girls have weak willpower B. introduce the topic of willpower to the readers C. show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls D. show the connection between willpower and success (2)What can we infer from the experiment?
A. The scientists had already known the results before the experiment. B. It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life. C. The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives. D. The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower. (3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?
A. You should have a goal every day. B. Good rest and proper diet can help. C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly. D. Keep willpower from being used too much. (4)What is the article mainly about?
A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained. B. How willpower affects people's lives and how it is similar to muscles. C. How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger. D. How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other 【答案】 (1)B (2)C (3)A (4)C
【解析】【分析】主要讲了毅力的重要性和怎样让毅力变得更强。
(1)细节题。根据It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say \However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.可知通过讲小女孩吃奶酪蛋糕的例子来引出毅力话题,故选B。

Even a little practice can strengthen(加强) our overall self-control if we do it regularly.可知要规律锻炼;Like muscles, willpower can \tired\Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.可知要好好休息和吃好,不能过度使用,故选A。
