中考网整理了关于2021年初中英语阅读理解综合型问题（14），希望对同学们有所帮助，仅供参考。

　　Once upon a time there Jived a king called Minos. He ruled the island of Crete. And he also had a terrible monster (怪兽) called the Minotaur. The Minotaur lived at the center of a very large maze (迷宫). It had the body of a man but the head of a bull.

　　Minos was a cruel king. Whenever he was bored, he would attack (进攻) a nearby island called Athens. In order to get peace, King Aegeus of Athens made a deal with King Minos. If Minos didn’t attack Athens, he would send seven boys and seven girls to Crete every nine years to be eaten by the Minotaur.

　　It was time again to send the children to Crete. Theseus, the son of King Aegeus, could not stand this situation, and decided to go as the seventh boy and kill the Minotaur. He promised his father that if he was successful, he would use white sails (船帆) instead of the black ones to show he was alive.

　　When arriving in Crete, Theseus met King Minos' daughter called Ariadne. She fell in love with him and wanted to help him. So when the children were sent to the Minotaur, Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of string (细绳) and a knife. Theseus left a line of string behind him when he entered the maze. After he killed the monster, he followed the string and got out of the maze. Ariadne was waiting outside. They quickly ran away together before Minos could catch them.

　　However, on the journey home, Theseus was so full of joy that he forgot to change the color of the sails. As soon as King Aegeus saw the black sails, he was so upset and jumped into the sea. Since then, that sea has been called the Aegean Sea in memory of King Aegeus.
