But they aren’t thesame as almost all land animals. Their brains are as big as men’s and theylive a long life一at least 20 or 30 years.Like some animals, dolphins use some sounds to help them find theirways around. They also use sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They don’t use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaws (下颚).It’s strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903, a passenger on a boat with the name of “The Penguin” shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, andafter a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat “The Penguin”.Today, some people still kill dolphins, but more people in the world protect them.根据短文内容，判断下列各句正误。

Then they pulled open the floodgates in time to avoid a disaster that could have washed away farmland and houses.But things got worse for Gan: he lost his eyeglasses and couldn't see well. Guided by Luo, he walked 20 or 30 kilometers from the station. But he became too weak to go farther and decided tostay where he was and wait for Luo to return with rescuers.

Washing hands also helps. Storing food 2__________(correct) can help prevent illness as well.However,people didn’t use to know a lot about germs. For many years, even doctors didn’t really understand 3____________ illnesses spread. They did many things to avoid sickness. Some doctors even tried dressing like birds.In 1619, Charles Lorme designed a special uniform 4____________ a long coat, gloves, boots and a wide-side hat for doctors treating plague (瘟疫) patients. The doctors also carried long, wooden sticks so that they wouldn’t have to touch the patients. The mask made the doctors 5__________(look) like birds. It had a long beak with about 15 cm from the face. There were also two eye holes covered in glass and two 6___________ (nose) holes.At that time, doctors believed the plague spread 7___________ bad air. So the doctors put medicine and flowers in the beaks of their masks.

The germs which caused the plague did sometimes travel through the air, but good – smelling medicine was 9______________(able) to stop them. Many doctors still got sick by breathing through the nose holes in their masks. Some plague only spread through bites from fleas (跳蚤) and rodents (啮齿动物). The doctors’ uniforms did help protect them from this danger. However, 10___________ was largely the coat, gloves, boots and hat that did the job, not the bird mask.四、任务型阅读The twenty-first century is already turning out to be the century of modern technologies.Thetechnological revolution(革命)that started after World War ll is now developing more quickly. Computing and other technological development begin to reach into,influence and take over nearly every part of our lives.The two main influences modern computing has had on our lives are in the areas of economics (经济学)and communications.Technology has led to big changes in economic and business systems and operations (经营).Businesses now have to be using cloud services or machine learning.As a result, every big company bases its operations on computing.For example,Coca Cola and Huawei sell different products and services, yet they all share one basic feature—without modern computing services, their operations would break down.New technologies play an important role in economies.China and many other developing countries have large IT industries which drive their economies. What's more, developed countries, including Germany and the United States,are moving from an industrial-based economy to a computing and IT-based one.The other important influence of technological change is in the way of communication. For example,in the past,people wrote letters or talked on fixed phones.Now they send text messages or chat using mobile phones.Instead of waiting weeks for a letter,we can communicate right away easily. New forms of communication are cheaper or free.As a result,now people who live thousands of kilometres away from each other can communicate as much as they want at any time.In conclusion,computing and new technologies have had a great influence on our lives in many ways.And they have had the greatest influence in business and communication.In the future,if technology continues developing at such speed,our business practices and methods of答案：完形填空CADBD DBCDB ACBAD阅读理解ABBDA BCCD综合填空1-5 spreading; correctly; how; with; look6-10 noise; through; breathing; unable; It任务型阅读1-5. taken; difference; Example; on; help;6-10.into; faster; less; communicate; quickly。

They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators（短吻鳄）and crocodiles（鳄鱼）. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano （火山）.Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.1. How much did Myers’ students pay for the rain forest they bought?A. $25B. $75C. $80D. $20002. What did Myers and his students do at the beginning of the trip?A. They went into the rain forest.B.

In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One of this year’s studies found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way —by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts(专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves （涉及）two skills. One is legibility, which means forming theletters so they can be read. The other is fluency(流畅) — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive（草书）, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会). More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.1. From Paragraph 1 we can learn .A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching jobB. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingC. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting2. Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?A. Handwriting includes two skills.B. To write in cursive is taught first.C. The letters are repeated many times.D. The students are taught by practicing a long period.3. The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means .A. unreadableB. easy to writeC. unexpectedD. easy to read4. The best title for the passage is .A. How to Improve Handwriting in SchoolB. Right or Wrong: the Death of HandwritingC. Handwriting Involves Two SkillsD. Handwriting Lessons Are on the Way Out5．What does the author think of learning handwriting in school ?A. He supports it.B. He is against it.C. He just tell the situation.D. He can’t stand it4Dear neighbors,We are writing this letter to you because our school has started a group. It is called “Help the Environment”. It works to look after the environment.Here are some interesting facts that our group has learnt：★ Most things that we throw away can be used again or recycled(再利用)．★ Some European countries, for example, Germany, already recycle half of their waste.★ 90% of people in the country would like to recycle more.We think that most people would agree with the following ideas：★ We need to recycle our waste, not use up the world's resources(资源)．★ It is better to recycle our waste than to burn it or throw it into the sea.One of the best things our group can do is to collect the recyclable(可回收的) waste. We will sell this waste to recycling factories and give the money to Friends of the Earth. We would like you to bring your recyclable waste to the school. But if you don't have time, we will collect it from you once a week.We hope that you will agree to this. If you do, please email us: helpen v ir@.Yours,John Cooper()1. All the things that we throw away can be used again or recycled.()2. 10% of people in the country would like to recycle more.()3. It is better to burn waste than to throw it into the sea.()4. If you have no time, our school group will collect your recyclable waste from you once a week.()5. John Cooper from “Help the Environment”group wrote the letter.5It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000 kilograms of broken computers, TVsand phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or e－waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by e－waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e－waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e－waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e－waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.Luckily, the Chinese government wants the country to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with e－waste will be solved in the near future.()1. The e－waste found in Hong Kong last month was from ________．A. FranceB. JapanC. GermanyD. Australia()2. The underlined word “buried” probably means ________ in the passage.A. 焚烧B. 降解C. 回收D. 掩埋()3.

The passage is mainly about ________．A. the e－waste problem in ChinaB. the cost of burning e－wasteC. the ways to deal with e－wasteD. the need to pass a law against e－waste6“Save the whales！” That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important; that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighborhood.It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they'd have to do anything about.Then one whale swam in their direction, directly towards land. It came in with thewaves, and when the waves receded,__it stayed. Its huge body rested on the land. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water—a thank－you to those who had worked so hard to save its life.()1. What does the picture on Jake's wall tell us about him?A.

On this day, strange things may happen. Our friends will play jokes on us and try to fool us.But people don't know the origin(起源) of April Fool's Day clearly. Some say April Fool's Day began many years ago in France. Long ago in France, the old New Year's festival was celebrated from March 25th to April 1st and ended with exchange of presents. Later theKing changed the New Year to January 1st. Some people still celebrated the New Year in April. They were called April Fish and were given presents as a joke, and so the tradition was born. Today in France, April Fool's Day falls on April 1.In many countries, April Fool's Day is not celebrated on April 1st but on other days. In Mexico, April Fool's Day is on the 28th of December. In ancient Rome (古罗马), the day was on the 25th of March. In India, the day is on the 31st of March. In America, the day is mostly decided by young people who want to make fun of other people. But it is important to remember that your friends and you will be both happy. One must remember the difference between a good joke and a bad one.1. When is April Fool's Day in France now?A.

A Wonderful Book: The Daily Prophet9From a young age, I’ve had a really deep connection with being outside. I’ve been skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I’ve been on expeditions（探险）in many places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the USA, that I came closest to death.It was April 1, 2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier, both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche（大雪崩）. The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of meters, and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn’t b reathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up, out of the snow pack. I looked around, and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche.I looked down into the bottom of the valley（峡谷）. I could see trees that were 30m tall, because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me. “OK, I’ m going all the way to the bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m. I thought the force of the snow would destroy me, it was powerful. But in the end, I felt the avalanche slow down and l just popped（迸出）right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris（碎片）across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn’t believe it when they saw me. I wasso lucky.Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don’t know, maybe. But I do know that it’s important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift, so u se it wisely.1. What impressed the writer most in his skiing experience is________.A. the power of snowB. the sight of the valleyC. the danger of poppingD. the luck of his expedition2.

Dad laughed. Grandma shook her head. “Thomas!”Mom shouted, looking at her husband angrily as well. “Unless you want to start eating food from a dog bowl, I suggest you find some manners.”“Like what?” Thomas asked, putting his elbows on the table.“You shouldn’t put your elbows on the table.”Thomas did what his mother said. But then he started throwing food into his mouth.Mom laughed, “Stop. Try using a fork, sitting up, and closing your mouth when you chew (咀嚼).”“Then it takes forever to eat, and I want to go and watch TV,” Thomas said.“You should stay and have a discussion with us until we are all done with our meals. Eat slowly and neatly (整洁地), and then help me clear the dishes.”“But ...”Thomas began to protest (抗议).“Do you want to use a dog bowl?” Mom said.“No, thank you,” Thomas said softly, which made Grandma smile.Mom smiled as he lifted his food carefully to his lips and chewed with his mouth closed. “Excellent.

What is the story mainly about?A. A party.B. A film.C. Table manners.D. Greeting manners.11"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way people in the United States greet each other. But "How are you? " is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn’t have an answer.When a person meets a friend on the street and asks "How are you?" the person doesn't really expect to hear an answer such as "I really, don't know what's wrong with me. I thought I had a cold. I took some medicine, but that didn't help much, so I have a doctor’s appointment." The person who asks "How are you?" expects to hear the answer "Fine," even if the other person isn't! The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply ways of greeting people and saying "Hello."Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?", the other person might be thinking "No, I disagree. I think you'rewrong." But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say, "I'm not so sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish conversation with other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, "I've got to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door." "I've got to put the vegetables away." "Something is burning on the stove!" The excuse might be real, or it might not be. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't very polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person's feelings.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's all part of the game of language!1. Why is“How are you? ”an unusual question?A.It is a nice question.B.It is a question that has no answer.C.People can’t not answer when they hear it.D.It is used everywhere in English-speaking countries.2. What will the person who asks“How are you?”expect to hear ?A.Just something like“Fine”.B.I really don’t know what’s wrong with me.C.I have taken some medicine but it doesn’t help.D.It is simply a way of saying “Hello”.3. How can we make other people feel better if we don’t agree with them on something?A.By telling them directly what we think.B.By saying“I’m not quite sure about that ”.C.By asking them“How are you? ”D.By giving more good examples.4. Why do people sometimes choose a roundabout way to end the telephone conversation?A. They want other persons to feel nice.B. They are afraid of telling lies.C. They try to find some polite excuses.D. They want the others feel their excuses real.5. Which of the following is not right according to the passage?A.When people ask "How are you?" they don't expect to hear about the other person's health.B."I'm not so sure" is a polite way to say you disagree.C."I've got to go now." is the only way to end all telephone conversations.D.It's impolite to say "I don't want to talk to you any more."12The British are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research shows that the British are only about average (平均数) at waiting politely in a queue(排、队). The French are the best. It's the Germans who don't have a good habit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good。

CIf music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo （舒缓的节拍）.“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve （神经） system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.（1）What does the underlined word enhance mean?A. produceB. provideC. improveD. impress（2）From the last paragraph we can learn that .A. you should follow your parents' wordsB. you have some good reasons to join in an IQ testC. good marks depend on listening to music and excisingD. exercise to music might help you get higher grades in tests（3）Which of the following statements is true?A. Music helps volunteers get better from heart disease.B. Exercise is used for people with head hurts.C. Exercise causes no changes in health without music.D. Music can help you relax and feel energetic.（4）What might be the best title of the passage?A. Exercise to MusicB. Music and studyC. Importance of MusicD.

中考英语阅读理解专项训练1A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.1. A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.A. very wellB. in the way of western ruleC. in the way of his own ruleD. all of the above2. The writer was surprised because ____.A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horseB. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horseC. the artist made his own ruleD. the artist did not follow other people's rule3. You are not yet experienced because ____.A. you don't know where to beginB. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tailC. you always asked questionD. you do not trust to your own powers4.

初三必备英语阅读理解技巧全解及练习题(含答案)含解析一、英语阅读（日常生活类）1．阅读理解When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing.（1）The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means .A. 吹风B. 给……上发条C. 摇上D. 利用空气……使……（2）The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .A. will be damaged much easier than the normal oneB. has a special handle to access the InternetC. is cheap and can run with extra powerD. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions（3）According to the passage，what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones?A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment.B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones.C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users.D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries.（4）Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countriesB. tell us what high technology can help peopleC. show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. give an example of how to help developing countries（5）Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?A. We need to help people in developing countries to help themselves，not just throw money at the problem.B. We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.C. We should think about giving help to developing countries more often.D. We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D（5）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了Nicholas Negroponte发明了一种便宜的手提电脑和循环使用手机来帮助发展中国家。

He certainly looked the part all right, he thought as he admired himself in the mirror.Then he suddenly felt nervous. After all, it was his first time to have a part in a play. How could he face all those people watching the play? He put his head in his hands and tried to remember his lines(台词),but nothing came to his mind.A knock on the door made him look up. He was to go on stage in the second scene. “Have I missed my part and destroyed (破坏)the play for everybody ?” he thought to himself. But it was only the manager. She noticed how nervous he was and suggested he should stand near the stage where he could watch and follow the play.

The dog was looking up at the woman.Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed."That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal."Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy.""And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him.""That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite（咬人）?""No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly."Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him."Hey!" Jack shouted."

Jack made a mistakeC. the dog wasn't dangerousD. both Jack and Sue liked the dog（6）No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?A. awayB. goneC. disappearingD. coming51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.A. warmB. rainyC. clear and fineD. cold52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?A. A rainbow appears in the morning.B. Some birds fly high.C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.（7）One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I……"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most……"You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.53. This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing" in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time54. From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is _________.A. "… so I didn't have a good time."B. "…so I went to bed very late."C. "….so I felt unhappy."D. "… so I got up very early."55. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."D. "I think you'd better be more careful."56. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is ______.A. "…… she is one of the most famous film stars."B. "……sh e is one of the most beautiful women."C. "……she is one of the most famous speakers."D. "……she is one of the most talkative women."（8）Would you know what to do during a big earthquake? Scientists have some advice for us.If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, stop your car on the roadside and stay in it. If you are in a tall building, don't use the lift and never jump out of the windows. When you are in a living room, find a strong table or rush into a smaller room like washroom. Then lie down your body. Take care of your head. When you are in a public place, like supermarket or cinema, don't crowd in jam(拥挤) , or you may fall over and get hurt. Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for rescue(援救) using. Don't go to the hospital if you are not badly hurt, others will really need help.

AIn the sea, bigger fishes often eat the smaller ones. But sometimes a small fish can be great too!There is a small fish like this in the American cartoon film Shark Tale.In the film, Oscar is a small fish and he talks a lot. He has very big dreams. He wants to be the No. 1 fish in the sea! But, in fact, he is only a cleaner.Angie is his friend. She often helps him. She thinks Oscar does a good job and she loves Oscar.One day, a shark named Frankie dies. An anchor(船锚) hits him. But Oscar says he killed Frankie! So, he quickly becomes a hero. People call him “Shark Killer”.But it‟s not a fun game. Oscar gets into a lot of trouble! Frankie‟s father, Don Lino, is the sharks‟ head. He wants Oscar to die for his son, and sends a group of fishes to catch him!Oscar also meets Lola. Lola is a pretty but bad fish. She tries to make Oscar like her!Can Oscar learn a lesson in life, and find Angie‟s love for him? You have to watch the film to find out!Choose the best answer according to the passage.( )1.

It helps them grow strong because it is rich in proteins(蛋白质), calcium(钙)and vitamins(维生素).“Mum asked me to drink milk when I was eight because she thought it would help me grow tall and strong,” said 15-year-old Fu Xiao from Xi‟an. “I didn‟t know how fast I was growing until I found I was the second tallest girl in my class.”Do you know how tall the Junior 3 student is? 169 cm!Milk can also help you sleep better because it calms you down.But remember to drink milk with care. Make sure it‟s fresh and hasn‟t gone bad.Don‟t drink milk when your stomach is empty. Eat some bread or corn at the same time. This will help you take in more proteins and vitamins.Doctors say teens need at least 500 ml milk a day. That‟s two to three cups.Milk-drinking started long ago, as early as 6,000-8,000 BC. At that time people started to keep cows, sheep and goats to get their milk.Of course what you drink today isn‟t that fresh from cow.People cool the fresh milk down to four degrees Celsius(摄氏的) to stop the bacteria(细菌) growing. In factories, milk is pasteurized(灭菌) to stop it going bad. After disinfection(消毒) and packaging, it is sent to the supermarkets.Yogurt(酸奶) also comes from milk.People make some special bacteria to change the taste of milk and make the nutrients(营养物) in it easier for people to take in.

Both A and B.CThere is a long history behind the first T-shirts and today’s colorful outerwear(外套).Many stories talk about the first T-shirts and the reason why people wear them. One says the first T-shirts had something to do with war.In World War ISome American soldiers found that European soldiers’undershirts(汗衫) were cooler and more comfortable. They started to wear the same kind. Because the design of the undershirts was simple and looked like the letter T, Americans called the clothes T-shirts.By World War ⅡMany soldiers started to wear T-shirts as underwear.In the 1930sMany American students started wearing white T-shirts for playing sport.In 1951Marlon Brando, a very famous American actor, wore a tight-fitting(紧身的) T-shirt in a film. After this, many American men started to dress like him.In the 1970sT-shirts became the favorite kind of clothing for young people in many countries. At that time, they were a sign of being cool and different from others.In the 1980sT-shirts started to be hot in China.Now many young people show their own ideas on their T-hirts: special pictures, funny words...

They are always lost when they meet your hands.Well, this isn‟t just a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bentley, too.In the 1870s, Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in northeast America. Winters there were long and hard. Bentley‟s mother was once a schoolteacher. She taught him at home. Bentley didn‟t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mother‟s books.But it was his mother’s microscope(显微镜) that interested him.
