2019年中考英语选练（7）（阅读理解）
(限时:30分钟)
A
Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.
After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.
Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”
Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.”
“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”
Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking.”

2. 选D。认真阅读第2段前面几句话，并注意以下信息：After the first day, little Tommy came home…didn’t kiss his mother hello…was hard at work…without a word. 可知答案应选D。
3. 选A。根据文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books这个句子的语境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。
4. 选B。Tommy学习一直不用功，但自从进了这所catholic
7
school之后，情况就不一样了——整天都发狠读书，结果数学考试也得了A。这是为什么呢？文章在最后道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking. 由此可知，Tommy是担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架上。
5. 选B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign误解为“学习不用功的结果”，从而一改自己原来不好学的不良习惯，很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见，误解有时也可以起到好的效果。

I don't know how I did it. While the airplane was climbing, I was asking myself a lot of questions. For example, what would my parents think of me if the parachute didn't work? The master jumper looked at me and said, “Don't worry. We'll be with you.”
Then, I looked at my altimeter. We were at 10,000 feet. I looked at the door, and the light had turned green.
“Are you ready?” the master jumper asked me.
“Yes, I am.” I answered him.
We walked to the door. There were two master jumpers who would jump with me. One was on my left, and the other was on my right. I followed all the steps, and then we jumped.
I was flying! I looked at my master jumpers. They were with me, and they were smiling. I felt relaxed. I had to wait until I was at 6,000 feet to pull the rope.
Things were working without problems. There was no noise except the sound of the wind. I looked at my altimeter. It was at 6,000 feet. And I pulled the rope with my right hand. I almost stopped in the air. The harness(背带) was holding me. I was at 4,000 feet. I could see the airport and the place where I had to land. I was going to land in four minutes. When I arrived on the ground, I thought I had done it.

阅读下列短 文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair,or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Aamsung CEO spent a lot of time talking abput the Internet things. He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,no matter whether it’s a remote control or a washing machine.
So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well,think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people’s faces and has an infrared sensr(红外传感器),so even if it’s dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know,it can tell you that ,too.
But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example,
7
many early connected-home objects don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Morever, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this ,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 menbers by late 2014.
So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? I t may happen sooner than you think.

the Amazons. She is ready for the role of a lifetime—to become the hero the world has been waiting for—in the Wonder Women film, which became a great hit all over the world in June, 2017.
The film begins on the all-female island named Themyscira where Diana was born. Ever since she was a young girl, Diana has longed to be a warrior(勇士). Though her mother attempts to hold her back from training, she still trains in secret, hoping to protect the innocent(无辜的人) and fight for peace.
Diana's world is turned upside down when she discovers a man, Steve Trevor, washed up to the shore. He is saved by the princess, and tells her about a world war that is happening outside the island. Diana feels a great need to help save the world because she can't just stand by while innocent lives are suffering. So she decides to leave her homeland to join Steve to try to end the war.
In Wonder Women, the battle scenes are a visual treat(视觉盛宴) for the audience, with Diana fighting with her sword and shield and tossing around some enemies with her golden Lasso of Truth(真言套索).
