《中考英语阅读理解猜测词义题答题策略》进阶练习一、阅读短文，选择正确答案AIn the UK．Saturday evenings have always been a popular time for families to watch television together．One of the most popular programme genres is the talent show，partly because people of all ages are interested in it． Early shows，like Opportunity Knocks （1965-1978），required people to vote （投栗）for their favorite acts and performers，although in those days voting was done by postcard instead of by telephone，text，or over the Internet．Today，the success of television talent shows has reached a new level．Here are Ihe UK's top three TV talent shows： The X Factor In this wonderful singing competition，performers have to face a celebrity judge panel （名人裁判组）before the public vote．Many excellent singers became popular because of it．The show is now made all over the world，from China to Colombia． Strictly Come Dancing-The programme is so fantastic that it attracts many celebrities．They team up with professional （专业的）dancers and come to the dance floor to win the title of Strictly Come Dancing Champion． Britain's Got Talent-In this modern-day version （版本）of Opportunity Knocks，the public can go and choose from many kinds of acts，from dancing dogs to ice skating．The prize is to perform for the Queen in the Royal Variety of Performance． 1. When did the show Opportunity Knocks begin？ ______ A. In 1965． B. In 1978． C. In 2015． D. K is not mentioned． 2. If a person loves a skating act，he or she may go to ______ ． A. Opportunity Knocks B. Strictly Come Dancing C. The X Factor D. Britain's Got Talent 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？ ______ A.

The underline word"genres"in the first paragraph means ______ ． A. lists B. types C. choices D. expressions．B Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year．Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered of coal-powered stoves． One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun．Crosby Menzies，a solar power expert in a South African company，described his latest solar cooker called the“Sol.4”，”It is four square meters of mirrors，six to eight meters in length．It is quite a large cooler．” The“Sol.4”works by reflecting （反射）light from the sun off large mirrors．The mirrors direct （把…对准）the light at a cooking pan．Then the light heats the pan with solar energy．Within two minutes，the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions．In just four minutes，water can be boiled．That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity． The cooker is also much“friendlier”than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it．And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal．Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke． At present，the cooker only works when the sun is shining．But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight． Each cooker costs about $2000，which is a large amount of money for most Africans．To solve that problem，Crosby Menzies has crated a non-governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa．It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment． 5. This passage is mainly about ______ ． A. solar cookers B. smoke pollution C. solar power experts D. breathing illnesses 6. The“Sol-4”is mainly used to ______ ． A. shorten the time of cooking B. reduce the cost of making cookers C. raise money through donations to help African people D. reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke． 7. The underlined word“individuals“most probably means“ ______ ” A. cookers B. mirrors C. people D. experts 8. Which of the following about the“Sol-4”is TRUE？ ______ A. It is six to eight square meters of mirrors． B. It can work in any weather condition now C. It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood D. It is more environment-friendly than other cookers． 9. From the passage，we can infer that ______ ． A. the“Sol-4”will be designed in a smaller size B. more African can use the solar cookers in the future C. the“Sol-4”is the first product of the south African company D. the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers．CCHARACTERS--Max and Emma SCENE 1-Dining hall．Sunville Middle School EMMA：Max!Hi!Mr．Sosa says our band （乐队）can play in the talent show!
