要想提升自己的英语阅读解题能力和技巧，在平时可以多多阅读英语文章和多做练习题，为了帮助大家，它山之石可以攻玉，以下是勤劳的小编帮大伙儿找到的中考英语阅读理解（优秀10篇），欢迎阅读，希望对大家有一些参考价值。

今年中考，英语考试阅读理解（4篇，40分），阅读分值在全卷中比重最高，再加上语篇的长度、难度加大，语篇题材丰富，体裁各异，这就使得阅读能力的提高成为备考的重中之重。学生需训练常见题型的阅读技巧，平时阅读时，可准备词汇本，将高频词汇、重点词汇集中识记。

首先是要理解整篇文章的大意，一般看了首段，就能够把文章进行分类，是科技文、应用文、记叙文还是议论文和说明文，然后根据经验大致了解题目会怎样出。比如说科技类的就会考察一些技术发展、变革性方面的问题；记叙文的就会考察一些原因结果、猜测结局或者作者意图之类的问题；应用文则会出一些非常细节的问题等等。

其次是要抓住每一段的中心句和过渡句。中心句一般出现在开头或者结尾，过渡句也是，因此每段开头的第一句都非常重要。比较好的阅读理解方法是：初读文章———看题目———查读文章找依据———初定答案———再读文章———检查答案，其中综合了略读、跳读和查读等阅读技巧。在第一遍阅读时，可用略读或跳读的方式阅读全文，不必注意细节或具体事实，只求对文章有一个总体印象，了解中心思想和作者的基本观点，记住文中的信息方位。接着，浏览题目再读文章，可以带着题目有的放矢地在文中圈圈画画、做标记，查找解答题目的依据，避免毫无目的地通读文章，许多局部性题目都可以通过原文中的一两句话直接找到答案。第三次阅读主要是推敲、检查答案。有些应用文，比如广告、通知等，可以直接看问题，再到文中去找答案，提高速度。

Some children think writers are great and they can tell people a lot. So they also wish to be writers some day. They mean that they want to write stories or books which many persons will read. I would like to remind[1] them that they will need to be good readers and to read a lot in order to[2] be good writers.

Nearly all great writers read too long before they started to school, and read for hours and hours every day since they became good readers. Instead of watching TV in the evening, they spend much of their spare[3] time reading books.

If you are a good reader, it wont take you long to do the reading homework your teacher asks you to do. Then you will have time to read other books for fun. Because you read so well, you keep looking for more books to read.

While making up your mind[4] to become a good writer, you had better say to yourself,"I must read more and more if I am really to become a good writer."

Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?

Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many hooks, few people learned to read.

Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.

Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.

Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two meters high!

C. About 1.000 years ago. D. In the 11th century.

3.Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?

A. People could not read.

B. People could not write words on paper.

C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.

D People could only produce books one at a time by hand

4.What happened after books became cheaper?

A. People didn’t want to buy books.

B. Printing was invented in China.

C. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.

D. The Internet was introduced to people soon

5.What is the writer’s opinion about books and computers’？

"There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
