中考英语阅读练习 ‎(一)‎ Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in 1942. He’s a world well-known on space and time. Stephen is researching some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?‎ ‎    Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.” As a matter of fact, the doctors were wrong---- he didn’t die. He can’t walk now but he uses a wheelchair(轮椅). He can’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy(哲学).‎ ‎    Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams(图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1891, he met the Pope(教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.

We have been fortunate,however,to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.‎ There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and,luckily,none is shown in the website. So,my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.‎ There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us (my daughter,I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.‎ The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous and mark.‎ My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake,I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer—something like,“Help me get out of here in time,Dear Heavenly Father”.Minutes later,I was safe outside.‎ ‎1.The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about________.‎ A.a new film about an earthquake B.how to survive an earthquake C.his three earthquake experiences D.how to save children in an earthquake ‎2.The earthquakes the author has experienced________.‎ A.all caused bodily harm                         B.are all recorded in a website C.all measured more than 6.0                D.all happened in California ‎3.When the first earthquake happened,the author________.‎ A.was staying with his daughter               B.was planting fruit trees C.held on to a tree for hours                    D.was in a hotel ‎4.What does the underlined part “the famous landmark” refer to?‎ A.A church.‎ B.Disneyland.‎ C.A building destroyed by an earthquake.‎ ‎  D.The place where the author was born.‎ ‎5.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the third earthquake?‎ A.It happened in the author’s sixties.‎ B.the author succeeded in getting outside.‎ C.When it happened,the author was in a church.‎ D.The author was too afraid to walk when it happened.‎ 参考答案 ‎1、C B A C C ‎2、D B C  ‎ ‎3、 CBCDC    ‎ ‎4、BACCC ‎ ‎5、 C B A B D  ‎ ‎6、 DBBAC ‎ ‎7、CBBA  ‎ ‎8、CACDA   ‎ ‎9、ACBDC  ‎ ‎10、CDABD ‎
