　　中考英语阅读理解及答案:如何让自己变得更快乐

　　For a long time being happy was considered natural，and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that we can work at getting along well with other people. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.

　　One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of everything, including the attention of your friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people.

　　You don’t have to be spineless(无骨气的)in order to be popular. In fact，you will be liked and respected(尊重)if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights(权利). But do it politely and pleasantly. One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people，to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.

　　You cannot expect to be pe rfect, so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged(泄气的) when they know their unpleasant qualities—selfishness，laziness，etc. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.

　　When sometMng is wrong，it is best to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why，and look at yourself，too. Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can wi th the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.

　　27.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined part?

　　A.Not sharing anything with others.

　　B.Not thinking too much of yourself

　　C.Not attracting the attention of your friends.

　　D.Not making friends with people who have bad points.

　　28.How can we get along well with others according to the passage?

　　A.We should find out unpleasant qualities in others and in ourselves.

　　B.We should show others our unpleasant qualities.

　　C.We should stand up for our rights in any way we like.

　　D.We should fight against our unpleasant qualities.

　　29.What can we know from the passage?

　　A.Even if we don’t have good relationships with others，we needn’t work at it.

　　B.Even if someone is not important to us，we still need to treat him politely.

　　C.Even if we are willing to learn from ouy mistakes，we are still to be blamed.

　　D.Even if the situation cannot be changed, we still need to worry much about it.

　　【主旨大意】如何让自己变得更快乐。

　　27. B。解析：句意“不想让你随心所欲或要求最美好的一切”

　　28.D解析：根据One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people，to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.”

　　高考英语阅读理解真题解析：农业机器人

　　Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.

　　One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.

　　Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.

　　1. Which sentence carried the main idea of the whole passage?

　　A. The first sentence of the first paragraph.

　　高考英语阅读理解真题解析·最初的和最后的人类

　　导语：20xx高考临近，小编为考生们整理了高考英语阅读理解真题解析，希望对大家有所帮助。

　　Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long “dark ages” in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.

　　However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That’s much more difficult.

　　When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of.

　　So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.

　　Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future.

　　1. A particular mention made of Stapledon’s book in the opening paragraph ________.

　　A. serves as a description of human history

　　B. serves an introduction to the discussion

　　C. shows a disagreement of views

　　D. shows the popularity of the book

　　2. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that ________.

　　A. human history is extremely long

　　B. life has changed a great deal

　　C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years

　　D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future

　　3. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________.

　　A. tools used in farming

　　B. ideas about modern life

　　C. unknown things in the future

　　D. hunting skills in the Stone Age

　　4. according to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ________.

　　A. serve the interests of the present and future generations

　　B. enable us to better understand human history

　　C. help us to improve farming

　　D. make life worth living(www.nmet168.com)

　　【答案与解析】这是一篇由 Olaf Stapledon 所著的《最初的和最后的人类》而引出的关于幻想未来的文章。

　　1. B。用排除法解答：先排除 A，因为这篇短文并非是对人类历史进行描述;再排除C，因为作者在此文章中并非表明对不同观点的否定;最后排除 D，因为作者并非要说明这本书的普遍意义。至于 B 项内容，正好符合这本书引导人们讨论的意图，故应选 B。

　　2. D。文中提及五万年前，处于狩猎时代的人们不可能勾勒出现代生活的画卷;也许我们将来会被认为是我们所认为的原始人，正如石器时代的狩猎者和我们相比一样，可知要预测较为遥远的未来是一件困难的事情。

　　3. C。从上下文可知，这四个词汇是作者杜撰的，用以形象地表示五万年后未知的事物和行为。

　　4. A。文中提及现在即开始对未来展开想象，是基于两点理由：人生是有限的;我们可能得到一些对我们自己切实可行的新见解。文中还提及如果我们因粗心大意和贪得无厌而把地球弄得一塌糊涂而不能居住，我们的子孙们就不难找到迁怒于我们的理由，故应选A。
