专题02 阅读理解--【真题荟萃】3年（2022-2024）中考 2年模拟 （江西专用）
（2024·江西·中考真题）In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.
It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize.
Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.
Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.
Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.
People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.
1．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2
A．By giving an example. B．By listing numbers.
C．By telling the differences. D．By asking a question.
2．What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage

B．They won the lotteries in the same year.
C．They were poor before winning the lotteries.

The Maori arrived in New Zealand from Polynesian (波利尼西亚) islands about a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live in New Zealand.
In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left.

Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins.

（2023·江西·中考真题）Why do We Yawn
Do you yawn There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.
We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.
Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.
In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.
Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.
19．What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Able to spread quickly. B．Able to breathe easily.

Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.

Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free.
Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference.

（2022·江西·中考真题）Why is the sea salt Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it — especially about the human heart.
Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say, ‘Mill, please grind (磨粉)’,” and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease (停止) grinding’.”
Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didn’t need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.
Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make ” “Oh. I don’t know. Why not salt ” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work.

（2024·江西上饶·二模）Scientists from Spain and the Netherlands did a study and discovered that road traffic noise near schools could cause problems for children.
In the study, Maria Foraster and her team from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health worked with 2,680 children aged 7-10 at 38 schools in Barcelona, Spain. They tested the children’s thinking and memory skills by giving them four computer tests over a year. There searchers looked at the noise both inside and outside the schools. They also estimated (估算) the noise levels at the children’s homes. Air pollution, people’s home locations, and other related factors (相关因素) were also considered.
The results showed that children in noisy schools had a hard time remembering and paying attention to things compared to children in quiet schools. When children were inside the classroom, changing traffic noise was an even bigger problem for them than just loud traffic noise. And no connection was found between noise at home and children’s learning abilities.
One limitation (限制) of the study was that the researchers did not study the noise levels from the past, which might have influenced the test scores. However, 98% of the children had been in the same school for at least a year, and the noise levels did not usually change very fast.
This study is important because many children worldwide are exposed to (遭受) traffic noise in schools. The researchers advised that more tests should be done in other places to see if the results are the same for different groups of children. If the answer is yes, this discovery might change the future rules about noise pollution near schools.
49．What do we know about the study from Paragraph 2
①Its results. ②Its researchers. ③How it was made. ④Where it was carried out.
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④
50．According to the study, what kind of noise had a greater influence on children’s learning abilities
A．Just loud traffic noise. B．Changing traffic noise.
C．Noise from their neighbors. D．Noise from their classmates.
51．What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A．The study is of great importance. B．The study has considered all factors.
C．The study has room for improvement. D．The study fits most children in the world.
52．The writer wrote the passage to ________.
A．ask governments to make rules about noise pollution
B．argue against the building of schools near busy roads
C．tell readers about the influences of traffic noise on adults
D．introduce a study on the influences of traffic noise on children
53．What’s the structure of the passage
A．Introduction→Methods→Findings→Limitation→Meanings.
B．Introduction→Limitation→Methods→Findings→Meanings.
C．Meanings→Introduction→Findings→Limitation→Methods.

（2024·江西上饶·二模）Have you ever been to Iceland How about Norway or Finland Maybe you’ve traveled to northern Russia or Canada. These are some of the best places to see one of our planet’s most beautiful natural phenomena (现象). What are we talking about The Northern Lights, of course!
The Northern Lights appear as beautiful colors in the night sky. The most common color of the Northern Lights is green. However, they can also be red, pink, yellow, or purple.
What causes the Northern Lights Like all the natural light on the earth, they come from the sun. Sometimes, the sun has big storms and gives off electrically charged particles (带电粒子). When the electrically charged particles reach the earth, some of them pass through to the air around our planet. They then collide (碰撞) with the gases (气体) around the earth, which causes beautiful lights with colors.
The colors of the Northern Lights have to do with the height. For example, when electrically charged particles collide with gases less than 150 miles from the earth’s surface, they produce green light. When the collision happens higher than 150 miles, they make red light.
Over time, many people have tried to explain the Northern Lights. Some cultures have ancient stories about them. Today, however, we know the science behind the Northern Lights, and people travel thousands of miles each year hoping to see them. Many say it s a magical experience!

（2023·江西南昌·模拟预测）Have you ever heard of expressive writing
Writing about a terrible or difficult situation is called “expressive writing”. People who do this, record their deepest thoughts and feelings. Doctor Pan, leader of this study of expressive writing as a highly effective way to deal with painful experiences, says these people often show excellent mental and physical condition afterwards.
Expressive writing is effective because it allows you to make sense out of an upsetting and even heart-breaking experience. As you write, you are recognizing what is happening around, and accepting that something is bothering you is an important first step. Next, translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts and gives you a sense of control.
Thinking or talking about an event seems useful. However, the more you think or talk about it, the more likely you will find yourself in a mess. As a result, you get completely lost in your own emotions and finally lose self-control. Writing works differently as it makes you slow down. The act of labeling a feeling of putting words to an emotion can ease(缓解) the neural(神经系统的) activities in the brain.
What if you don’t consider yourself “a writer” Don’t worry about spelling or grammar. Take it easy when you choose the words or expressions. Only dig into your inner self. The goal of the exercise is to find meaning in an upsetting event.
Many people have tried this method. After his father was rushed to the hospital because of a serious heart attack, 43-year-old Alex began to panic. So he did the one thing that would calm himself: he wrote. He thinks of it as a captain’s life buoy(救生衣). “My expressive writing gave me the courage I need to face my fear and move on,” Alex says.
There are a few who are against this approach. According to them, expressive writing isn’t a magical solution. People shouldn’t fully trust the effect of expressive writing. Neither should they think of using it to replace other treatments. People who are faced with a serious mental disaster may not find it useful to do on their own, without medicine.
75．What’s the first step of expressive writing
A．To write down what is bothering you. B．To train yourself into an excellent writer.
C．To talk about your feelings to others. D．To think about the bad experience carefully.
76．Who is Alex
A．A captain on a ship. B．The son of a patient who has a serious heart attack.

b. It’s easy to lose your own emotions and self-control.
c. It forces you to organize your thoughts when writing.

A．abc B．bcd C．acd D．abd
79．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A．Expressive writing can deal with all kinds of problems.
B．Some people don’t think expressive writing as a perfect way.
C．Expressive writing can help with serious mental disasters.
D．Medicine is not useful when someone has a mental disaster.
（2023·江西南昌·模拟预测）Most people have a favorite color, but how people feel about colors depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples:
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity(繁荣). _______ In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels (标签) are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals(葬礼) are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.

（2023·江西南昌·模拟预测）Love, joy and the warm feeling of getting together don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So what should a poor family do
When I was 10, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted for the New Year was a pogo stick(弹簧单高跷). However, my mother said it was so expensive that we couldn’t afford one.
On a Saturday before New Year, my family went shopping together. While my mother and I were picking out the gifts, my dad said, “I’ll be back soon-I need to see something in the tool area.” A moment later, he came back with a long box. I remembered wondering if there was a pogo stick in it.
When we arrived home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I was so excited and I knew as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom(扫帚).
That New Year morning, I got some gifts like a tiger toy and a saving pot, but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted. How upset I felt at that moment though I didn’t want my parents to see!
After cleaning up the room, my dad went to the garage. When he came back, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it! My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.

（2023·江西上饶·模拟预测）It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, some clothing companies are already making clothes like these.
The fashion company of Alia Juma’s showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing kinds from the collection were made from recycled plastic bottles. “We realized that billions of water bottles are thrown into oceans every year and it would take hundreds of years to break down. We should use them to improve the environment,” said Alia Juma, the company’s designer. “Five bottles can make a shirt, 10 a dress, and 20 a short coat.”
Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted(熔化) and shaped into small balls. Then the balls are melted again to form threads(线). People can then use the threads to make different kinds of clothes.
According to Juma, it takes 67, 000 bottles to originate 1 ton of threads. This cuts down carbon emissions(碳排放) by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making threads.
Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, clothes made from plastics can be even better than those made from common materials. Plastic threads can also be made into different materials, such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seems that this innovation(创新) may lead to a greener future of fashion.
93．What was Alia Juma’s newest collection made from
A．Recycled plastic. B．Recycled glasses. C．Recycled paper. D．Recycled clothes.

③Melt the balls again to form threads.
④Melt and shape the pieces into small balls.
