中考英语阅读理解汇编练习试卷
一、中考英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析）
1．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
In 1845, a deadly dia struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species （物种）might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the potato for food. The death of one species caud a terrible famine（饥荒）. Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider scale.
Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain dias. However, you won't find many of the species in your local supermarket. To feed the ven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers.
For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are
grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared. Scientists believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world's food varieties to disappear.
One solution to this problem is to collect and store the eds （种子）as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 eds from five contients. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.
宿的四字词语
In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the eds her great –grandfather brought to the U.S. from Germany more than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade eds.
More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don't just store the eds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven't been grown for years. The food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.

Garrison had been treasuring his last piece. All he had left now was a sheet of the beautiful brown paper Pa had brought back from his last sailing trip.
"You've been quiet," Pa said, "Could I e your picture?"
Garrison handed over his sketch. Pa studied it, then looked at his son. "You're ten now, eh?" Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldn't say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper.
"When I was ten, I wanted to work on my father's ship," Pa said, "When Thomas was ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn."
Garrison's throat （嗓子）tightened. "I know I'm not like either of you." Pa looked at the drawing again.
"No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas. And you're like me, too. I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind. We need to e things differently.
Garrison frowned. "I'd rather love the land, like Thomas, or the a…"
Pa patted his hand. "Thomas cares about our family very much-that's why he's worked so hard to bring us food. And my love for the a makes good money. But there's more in life than food and money. There's happiness, for one. Does it make you happy to draw?"
Garrison nodded.
"And it makes me happy to look at your drawings. Not many folks can catch happiness on a piece of paper. Some might say drawing's a waste of time, but they don't understand how things are. Why, asking you to stop drawing like asking Thomas to stop farming, or me to stop going to a. It would be like asking us to stop breathing, wouldn't it?"

But Pa patted his shoulder and said, "That would be a pure shame. Your voice is important, Garrison, whether it's out loud or on paper. And speaking of paper…" Pa smiled. "Take a look in my bag."
