中考英语阅读专项练习「2017」

　　Paul

　　A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office a street urchin(顽童) was walking around a shining car.“Is this your car, Paul?”he asked.

　　Paul answered,“Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised.“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy. I wish?”He hesitated(犹豫)。 Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

　　“I wish,”the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”

　　“Oh, yes, I'd love that.”

　　After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said:“Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

　　Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again,“Will you stop where those two steps are?”the boy asked.

　　He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

　　“There she is. Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about.”

　　Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

　　A. Paul received an expensive car B. Paul told him about the car

　　(5)The best name of the story is ______.

　　参考答案：

　　(1)本题考查细节理解，依据本文第二段：Paul answered,“Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised.故答案选B。

　　(2)本题考查学生的推理判断能力，依据倒数第二段和第三段的内容，尤其是顽童对他弟弟所说的话：“And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…”故选A。

　　(3)本题考查学生的深层理解。Paul的种种猜想会对正确选择产生干扰。依据是本文倒数第二段的最后一句话：“Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about.”故选D。

　　(4)本题考查归纳文章中心。从顽童的言行之中可以看出他对残疾弟弟有深深的爱。如：“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything.”“He was carrying his little crippled brother.”故选B。

　　(5)本题考查概括全文主旨的能力。本文叙述了两对兄弟的关爱之情。Paul的哥哥送给他一辆小汽车作为圣诞礼物，顽童虽然没有Paul哥哥那样的经济条件，但他有着一份对残疾弟弟的深深的'爱。所以A Brother Like That为最佳题目。

　　The giraffe

　　The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5.5 metres tall. Its neck alone may be 1.9metres long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe's neck is very long, while the bones in a human neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.

　　(1)In this passage the underlined word “giraffe” means _______.

　　A.鲸鱼

　　B.长颈鹿

　　C.大象

　　D.恐龙

　　(2)The bones in a bird's neck is ________.

　　A. as big as in a human's neck

　　B. not so big as in a giraffe's neck

　　C. many more than in a human's neck
