1、中考阅读理解训练22009年中考“阅读理解”训练第一组ADo you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the

2、 change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear

3、 only at night.If you study the animal life, youll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even s

4、tranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.1.From the passage we learn that locus

7、se the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.C.

8、ain Use of Colors for Animals and Pests D. Some Animals and PestsBIts important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:1. ReduceIf you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智地). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a l

9、ittle paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people dont know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste. 2.ReuseYou should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them o

10、ut. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.3.RecycleBottles, cans (罐子) and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factor

11、y, where they are smashed flat (压平) and melted (融化) and the metal things are made for new coke cans.4.RecoverWhen you buy a box of apples, there may be few rotten (腐烂的) apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts.

12、In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.5.RepairIf one of the begs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that N

13、orth America is a “throw-away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.1.The “Reduce” rule mainly requires (要求) us _.A. to use things wisely B. to cut down many treesC. to use a lot of paper D. to throw away

14、 your old clothes2.Whats the right order (顺序) of recycling coke cans?a. collect the used cans b. melt them c. smash them flat d. send them to a factoryA. a b c d B. a d c b C. d b c a D. c a b d3.The “Recover” rule mainly requires us_.A.to throw waste things away B. to cover waste things with earthC

15、. to get back the useful partsD. to throw the whole things away5.Which is the best way to do with your broken tables?A. Throwing them away. B. Requiring them.C. Selling them. D. Putting them away.CDo you know something about tree rings (年轮)? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, so

16、metimes even hundreds of years ago?A tree will grow well in a climate (气候)with lots of sunshine and rainfall. And little sunshine or rainfall will limit (限制)the growth of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the out

17、side to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then were sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the hi

18、story of man. Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand thereno trees and no people. What happened?A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fi

19、res and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.1._ in good climate.A. Tree rings grow far from each other B. Tree rings become thinnerC. Trees dont need sunshine or rainfall D. People can cut down most of the trees2.The scientists are interested in studying tree rings bec

20、ause tree rings can tell _.A.whether a tree was strong or notB. whether people took good care of the trees or notC. whether the climate was good or notD. how old the trees were3.If you want to find out the weather of twenty years ago, you should study _.A. the twentieth ring B. the tenth ring C.the

21、nineteenth ring D. the twenty-first ring4.Why did people usually live in places with lots of trees?A.Trees could tell the change of the weatherB.Trees brought lots of sunshine and rainC.Trees could make weather not too hot or too coldD.Trees could be used for burning and for building house5.The peop

22、le had to leave the place in New Mexico because _.A.had weather stopped the growth of treesB.they no longer had water and the land beca -me sandC.they didnt have enough trees for burning D.there was too much rain there第二组AAll our food comes from the soil (土壤). Some of us eat meat, but animals live o

23、n plants. If these were no plants, we should have no animals and meat. So the soil is necessary for life.The top of ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. Plants grow in soil, which has a dark color. This dark soil is humus, dead leaves, dead plants and animal waste make it, but this

24、takes a long time. When the humus has been made, plants can grow well in it.All soil needs food. If we dont give it any, the plants will be weak. Animals waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crop should not be grown in the same place every

25、 year; it is better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land in good condition.When the soil is dry, the wind blows it away. Sometimes heavy rain carries the humus down to a river. People should grow more and more trees and grass to stop wind fro

26、m carrying the humus away. It takes hundreds of years to make humus, and so we must save every bit of it. Without soil, where can we grow food?1.From the text, we know people live on _.A. animal B. plant C. meat D. soil2.The word “humus“means _ in Chinese.A.微生物 B.土壤 C.腐殖土 D.粘土3.We should _ to keep t

27、he soil.A. give more fertilizers B. kill more animals C. make more humus D. grow more trees and grass4.We should save every bit of humus, because _.A.it takes a long time to make humusB.the more humus in the soil, the better plants growC.the chemical fertilizers are expensiveD.A and B5.The best titl

28、e of this text should be _.A.Soil is necessary to peopleB.The same crop cant be grown in the same place every yearC.Soils food is chemical fertilizersD.Humus is hard to makeBWhen some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. Earthquakes may happ

29、en anywhere on the earth. They often happen near the mountains.During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack (断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthq

30、uakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas (地区) in these belts, its possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an

31、earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.1.A large numberof earthquakes often happens _.A. in the area B. on land C. at night D. next to mountains2.The reason for an earthquake is _.A.the result of rock plate sudden movementB.that there are so many
