There was heavy snow and windy weather in Chicago on Monday，and there was also heavy rain on the west coast of the United States—especially in and around the city of San Francisco．

Things were no better on the other side of the world in Australia—there was quite heavy rain in the state of Queensland，with 475mm of rain failing in just five days．

In south-west Europe，there was more hot，sunny weather with the town of Jerez de la Frontera in the South of Spain the hottest place．The temperature was 30 degrees，the warmest so far this year．

It wasn’t all good news in Europe，however．There was heavy snow in the Balkans，and parts of north-eastern Italy on Monday and Tuesday．Things are getting a little better in the city of Irkutsk，in eastern Siberia，however；the temperature went above zero degrees for the first time since last November．

Blue Lagoon—Iceland

Iceland—a country in the North Atlantic near the Arctic Circle—probably isn’t the first place you think of for a perfect beach holiday．But every year，thousands of people take off their clothes and swim at the Blue Lagoon，a beach near the Arctic Circle and just 45 km from the capital city，Reykjavik．The air temperature can be as low as minus 10 degrees：but the water comes from underground and is naturally hot—the usual water temperature is between 35 and 40 degrees．It’s like taking a hot bath in the open air!

London Bridge—USA!!!

The earliest London B ridge actually isn’t in London at all... and it doesn’t even pass over a river! American businessman Robert P McCulloch bought the bridge for $2.5 million in 1968 and moved it—stone by stone—across the Atlantic Ocean．He rebuilt it in Lake Havasu City，Arizona—a small town in the middle of the desert，where the temperature is often more than 40 degrees．Nowadays，thousands of tourists come to see the bridge，and there is an English village with watersports facilities，shops and restaurants．

The Guggenheim Museums

There are not one but five Guggenheim Museums．Solomon R Guggenheim opened the first collection of modern art in New York in 1959．Another museum opened in Italy，and then，in 1997，two more Guggenheims opened：one in Berlin and the other in the Basque city of Bilbao，in the north-west of Spain．It is now one of Spain’s biggest tourist attractions，and every year hundreds of thousands of people come to see the paintings and other works of art．The newest Guggenheim museum is the Virtual Museum--the world’s bigge st Internet art gallery(美术馆)．

Imagine this：a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper．You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show．Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye，but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled．

Nanotechnology(纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way，and it is being studied and developed all over the world．Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命)．

Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science．Imagine nanobots(纳米机器人) in medicine．Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks．For example，they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒)．Other machines may stay in the human body for ever to heap organs(器官) that are not working properly．

When could all of these happen? Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30 years．Thousands of scientists around the world are working

on these micro-machines．Nanotechnology is just around the corner．

61．The two examples in Paragraph I are used to ________．

A．introduce the smallest television

B．introduce a new kind of guitar

C．introduce the topic of the passage

D．show how small the world is

A．far away B．at present C．in the near future D．impossible

（35）

It is said that all dreams serve a purpose(目的)．While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream，there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have．

One common kind of dream is the repeating dream，in which the same story is repeated again and again，often for many months or even years．Some believe these

are a sign people have a problem．in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop．Others think they are a way to help people remember something very Important．

Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare．The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams．The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes．Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life．

Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world．We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting．They help us think about our future．

Lucid dreams are the most fun．These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming．Instead of waking up，they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie．

51．The underlined word“they”(in paragraph 2) refers to “________”．

A．dreams B．problems C．dreamers D．scientists

B．We can control what happens in the dream．

C．We think that the dream is like a movie．

D．We feel very nervous after we wake up．

55．What is the best title of the passage?

A．Daydreaming of You B．Enjoy Your Dream

C．What Dreams Mean D．Where Dreams Go

中考英语阅读理解-说明文篇（4） （16） Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too. 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 earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and ma ke maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s 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 earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it. 51. The reason for an earthquake is . A. that there are so many plates on the earth B. that the sea is too deep C. rocks’ cracking open 52.

中考英语英语阅读理解精选附答案

中考英语英语阅读理解精选附答案 一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷 1．阅读理解 Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone (里程碑) in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e-4 became the first lunar probe (月球探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon. The Earth's gravity (重力) slows the moon's rotation (自转), matching it to the speed of its orbit (公转). Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar (太阳的) winds, the far side may have the special minerals (矿物质). For this reason, Chang'e-4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e-4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future. However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked(阻断) off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite (中继卫星) Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e-4 has been well solved. Power supply (电源供应) is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e-4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length (长度) of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e-4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels. Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e-4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments. The New York Times used the word "groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon". （1）When was Chang'e-4 sent up? A. In May, 2018. B. On December 8, 2018. C. On January 3, 2019.
