深圳市中考英语英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷1．阅读理解Mark, a young person, tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter(打字机)."You've got to want to write,"I say to them," not want to be a writer."The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded(报答). When I left a 20-year job in the US Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no hopes at all.What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt (MWE ) myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wonder in " what if".I would keep putting my dream to the test-even though it meant living with uncertainty(不确定) and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.（1）According to the author's idea, writing is .A. enjoyableB. interestingC. lonelyD. boring（2）When the author left his 20-year job, he .A. felt sadB. lost his heartC. felt unforgettableD. found himself（3）When the author went to the New York apartment building, .A. there was almost nothing thereB. there was everything thereC. the author was pleased with itD. the author was so happy（4）What does the underlined word " shadowland " probably mean in Chinese?A. 点点希望B. 夺目强光C. 人生低谷D. 虚幻境界（5）What's the main idea of the passage?A. Tell us to study hard.B. Let us dream of succeeding.C. Let us do something that we can't accept.D. Hold on to your dream even if you meet difficulties.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D（5）D【解析】【分析】做为一个成名的作家，作者在本文中讲述了自己成功路上的艰辛，告诫那些想成为作家的年轻人：写作是一项孤单寂寞而又收入微薄的工作，在数千名渴望成功的作家中,能获得命运垂青只是寥寥数人而已。

⑴细节理解。

根据第二段The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair可知，作者认为写作是一项孤独的任务，故答案为C。

⑵细节理解。

根据When I left a 20-year job in the US Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no hopes at all可知，作者离开做了20年的工作后感到很灰心，故答案为B。

⑶细节理解。

将题干中的New York apartment building定位在第三段，根据后一句It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom可知房子很冷，没有洗澡间，打字机也是作者去了之后买的，故答案为A。

⑷词义猜测。

句意：我会把梦想投入到这个检验上——即使意味着带着不确定和失败的恐惧生活。

这是希望的……，任何有梦想的人必须要学会在那儿生活。

所以可以断定shadowland意思是“虚幻境界”，故答案为D。

⑸主旨大意。

本文通过作者自己的亲身感受，谈论写作的艰辛。

虽然困难重重，但是作者仍然怀抱梦想，坚持向前。

故答案为D。
