2019届中考英语阅读理精题（一）第一篇（2019中考教育类选练）Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink and even fight. They often do something dangerous. Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely (可能) to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So whats the reason? According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view themthat is “peer influence”. As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs. In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely. Why do peers have such a big influence on teens behavior? As Laurence sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的)teenager doesnt necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.” 1. What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?A. Quick. B. Crazy. C. Careful. 2. Why are teenagers likely to make wrong decisions according to the text? A. They like difficult tasks.B. They dont care about costs.C. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.3. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer pressure on teens behavior? A. By comparing it with how a car works.B. By comparing it with an accident. C. By showing research findings.4. What can we learn from the text?A. Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.B. Peer influence is bad on teenagers.C. Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.参考答案1B 2C 3A 4C第二篇【*重庆市模拟】 At just 16 years of age，Liu Shasha has taken the pool world by stormThe newcomer has become the youngest world 9-ball champion(冠军) by defeating 40-year-old Karen Corr of Britain On November 22，the Womens World 9-Ball Championship took place in ShenyangIn one semifinal，Corr beat Chinese Fu Xiaofang 9-8 to win her place in the finalIn the other match，Liu managed to defeat Chinas biggest cue-wielding(挥球杆的) star Pan Xiaoting by the same 9-8 score for an appointment with Corr in the finals Liu was born in the countryside of LankaoHenan ProvinceFour years ago she chose to leave school after finding her Junior 1 studies difficultMaybe I can work on the ball game， she told her parents With her parents permission(许可)，Liu followed in the footsteps of her neighbor Fu Xiaofang and began to play poolHer talent was soon _Its my only hope，so I have to focusThis is the only way Ill achieve success， Liu said As the new world champion，Liu set her career in motion(开动) in grand styleYet as her coach Zhang Shuchun warned，She has a long way to go in the pool worldHer journey has just started 根据短文内容选出正确的答案。 ( ) 1Liu won the Womens World 9-Ball Championship by defeating the _ British player Aforty-five-year-old Bforty-year-old Cthirty-nine-year-old Dthirty-six-year-old ( ) 2The score between Liu and Pan Xiaoting is _ A8-9 B10-12 C9-8 D13-12 ( ) 3Why did Liu leave school when she was 12 years old?
