一、阅读理解
(2018·广东汕头金平模拟)Zheng He was a famous Chinese explorer(探险家). In 1405, he set off from China on the first of seven great sea journeys. This was nearly a century before Christopher Columbus first set sail on his journey of discovery to America. His travels are so important that they are still studied today.
Zheng He was born in Yunnan in 1371. He rose to become a trusted official of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor ordered Zheng He to visit and explore the lands outside China. His task was to build relations and set up trade routes(路线) with foreign countries. In a few years, he built several treasure fleets. They were big enough to carry 25，000 people as well as a very large number of goods. And they were one of the largest fleets to explore different regions(地区) of the world.
From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He went on seven trips and visited SouthEast Asia, the Middle East and even the east coast of Africa. It seemed that nowhere was too far for him to visit. These trips allowed China to trade valuable goods like gold, silver and silk. At the end of each journey, Zheng He returned with many things that had not been seen in China before, such as a giraffe from Africa. Besides developing trade, these sea journeys also encouraged the exchange of cultures and technologies.

四、任务型阅读
(2017·山东烟台中考)
In 1882, a baby girl caught such a serious fever that she nearly died. The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving(剥夺) her of sight and sound. That poor girl was Helen Keller.
Luckily Helen was not a girl who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She touched and smelled everything she came across. She also learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes.
Just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor—Anne Sullivan. With the help of Anne, Helen soon learnt to read and write in Braille(盲文). She also learnt to read people's lips by pressing her fingertips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations(振动). She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for people who could not hear at all.
Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honors from Radcliff College in 1904. While she was still at college, she wrote The Story of My Life.
She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and

Today, as a greener means of transportation, bikesharing is becoming more and more popular in many cities. It's known that it has many advantages. So it's enjoyed by lots of people.
First of all, it's very convenient for people to go somewhere. Also, it helps to reduce the traffic pressure. There will be less pollution because of bikesharing. Besides, bikesharing helps people take more exercise. In this way, it's helpful to keep people healthy.
However, it also brings some problems. For example, some people throw them away after using bikes. Even some people damage them and some bikes are stolen.
