【答案】Our Future Life in ChangzhouWhat will the life in Changzhou be like in the future? Most of my classmates think that the underground will be put in service in 2015. People won’t need buses because they can go around the city easily and quickly by underground. As a result, there will be less noise pollution. More than half of the students believe that people will have robots at home in 2045. Robots will do everything for people, so they can spare more time to develop their interest. Less than half of the students support the opinion that people will eat a kind of special food in form of pills in 2075. It will be unnecessary for people to spend much time on meals. About 30 students insist that people will never get ill in 2105 because scientists and doctors will find a new way to keep people healthy forever. Isn’t it amazing to have such a kind of future life?【南京市高淳区2014年中考一模】《中国汉字听写大会》的热播引起了人们对汉字书写的关注。

AIf you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading? 21世纪教育网Some people read very rapidly(很快地), while others read very slowly. But which one is better?The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions(说明) carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered.So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.1. Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.4. In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain(某些) pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.26. What should be read rapidly?A. Directions for making something.B. Maths problems.C. Science and history books.D. Storybooks, newspapers, personal letters, etc.27. What is the important thing you should keep in mind about speed of reading?A. To read as fast as you can.B. To fit your reading speed to your needs.C. To read as slowly as possible.D. To keep your reading at a certain speed.28. Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?A. Something about Careful ReadingB. Be a Rapid Reader.C. How to Read?D. How to Be a Slow Reader?答案：26. D 细节理解题。

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.66. The text makes us know that not getting enough sleep might make you _________.A. suffer form poor healthB. enjoy moreC. dream more oftenD. breathe quickly67. During REM, _______.A. you move restlesslyB. you start dreamingC. your mind stops workingD. your eyeballs move quickly68.

There were four of them and there were four totally different cups on the table. They took their tea cups.“What quote?” Mary asked.“Well, maybe I should rather say it is a story,” aunt said, “I heard that there was a wise teacher who took all his students for tea. They were surprised that all the cups on the table were different. Each of them took a cup and started drinking their tea, each looking at the cups of others. The teacher let them do that for a while and then said,‘Do you notice your behavior? You are all looking at each other’s tea cup and I can see some of you with the broken ones are even envious(羡慕的) of the finer cups of others. Is this not so?’”The students agreed, amused by their own behavior.“You may have wondered why you all had different cups, but I put them here on purpose. You see they represent (代表)life itself. Life is like that tea and the cups are like the physical circumstances(状况) of your life. You all got the same thing in your cups —tea. And yet you can not truly enjoy it in your envy of another’s cup. It’s just the same with life. You forget to enjoy your own life when you concentrate on envying the circumstances of someone else’s life.So now, close your eyes, and taste your own tea. Really taste it. And tell me —did it matter from which cup it came from?”Aunt finished telling her short tea story and they all sat in silence for a while, tasting their tea. A sleepy fly buzzed(嗡嗡作响) past, a bird sang in the tree. And it really did not matter one bit from which tea cup they drank.71. When the students found they had different tea cups, they_____________.A. were satisfied with their own cupB. were angry about the broken cups they had been givenC. asked the teacher to get new cups for themD. were curious about the difference between the cups72.

In the passage the teacher’s message to the students was that _______.A. life is hard and boring for everyoneB. it is strange to be envious of the lives of othersC. everyone should learn to enjoy his own lifeD. people act differently in different circumstances75. What can be the best title for the passage?A. More than tea in a cupB. The value of teaC. Tea vs cupD.

For example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher checks my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.For English class, we are reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. As pre-reading homework, my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally found an article on Time. com .For geography homework on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy. For example, the river’s trade paths, the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect Southerners’ jobs and incomes.I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big task or research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.Sometimes, I think the computer spoils my generation because it is so easy --- at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer, easy, fun, and fast.96. What does the writer use when he writes book reports and stories? (no more than 3 words)97. Why doesn’t the writer go to the library to do research? (no more than 6 words)98. How does the writer complete a big assignment or research project at present? (no more than 10 words)99. Why does the author prefer using a computer?

But what can you do if your kids do not behave themselves at the dinner tables? The following are seven tips to set your children on the road to good table manners:●Look for the good. Instead of pointing out(指出) all the things your children do wrong, point out what they do right. Please say, for example, “ I am so proud of you. It was wonderful the way you served yourself.”●Don’t turn dinner into an unpleasant “lecture time”. That will turn kids off not only manners, but dinner, and you, too.●Check your own e xample. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear (内衣) unless you want your kids to do the same.●Don't always consider your kids lazy and dirty ones. Instead, point out the behavior in a tender way. For example: “It’s a good idea to unfold your napkin, so if food falls you won’t dirty your clothes.”●Teach your kids good manners in the form of a game. One night a week, try to have a formal dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve their sense ( 意识) of manners.● Make kids understand part of the tradition. Invite guests over and let kids help serve them. This helps them indirectly learn about table manners.●Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants aren't counted(算在内). Try a nice restaurant and let kids order their own food, pay the bill and give the tip.61. The passage is mainly written for ____.A. kidsB. parentsC. hostsD. guests62. Which of the following should parents do to help their kids learn good table manners?A. Try dining out in fast food restaurants once in a whileB. Point out what’s wrong with the kids’ behavior at dinner.C. Keep telling the kids how to behave themselves at dinner.D. Impr ove kids’ sense of manners by having a formal dinner at times.63. The kids should do the following EXCEPT ______.A. going to a formal dinner in underwearB. helping parents to serve the guestsC. ordering their own food and paying the billD. unfolding the napkin to keep their clothes clean64. The underlined part “turn kids off” in the second tip probably mean “_____”A. make kids pleased withB. make kids interested inC. make kids tired ofD. make kids fond of65. What is the best title of this passage?A. Seven tips to good table mannersB. At the dinner tablesC. Good mannersD. At table32、 BDACA（B）Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.” We drove in silence to t he address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“Nothing.” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”66. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ________.A. show she was familiar with the cityB. see some places for the last timeC. let the driver earn more moneyD. reach the destination(目的地) on time67. The taxi driver did not charge(收费) the old woman because he ________.A. wanted to give her a handB. shut off the meter by mistakeC. had received her payment ahead of timeD. was in a hurry to take other passengers68. According to the underlined sentence, the old woman did so because________.A. she was tiredB. she may be lost in her memoriesC. she was frightenedD. she was excited69. What does the underlined word “remark” mean?A. 标记B. 话语C. 记号D. 评论70. What can we learn from the story?A. Giving is always a pleasure.B. People should respect each other.C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.D. People should learn to appreciate(感激) others’ concern(关心).33、 BABBC（C）A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine (联合) the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone, you will be able to bury（埋） it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage people to recycle. Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic, but overtime it can break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover with a sunflower seed. When this cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But we are trying to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time.” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are always throwing their mobiles away. This means producers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can reduce the harm to nature, according to the scientists. “The seed is released and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to worry about the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan, the leader of the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.71. How do people deal with the used mobile phone at present?A. They throw it away.B. They bury it in the garden.C. They recycle it.D. They turn it into nitrates.72. Scientists do this type of research in order to ________.A. make the mobile phones more beautifulB. to deal with environmental problemsC. to find a new way to grow flowersD. to produce more mobile phones73. What does the underline phrase “break down” mean?A. 抛锚B. 崩溃C. 撞毁D. 分解74. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.A. the new type of mobile phones is already on the marketB. some 650 million mobile phones will be thrown awayC. a group of British researchers are doing the researchD. other flowers may be used in this type of mobile phones75. The main idea of the passage is ________ .A. the relationship between high tech and environmentB. the phone technology is developingC. phone can be turned into flowersD. mobile phone and environment34、 ABDCD（D）What makes the wo rld become wonderful? Some inventions. Lets’ take a look at the top five inventions.Moveable Type (活字印刷): By using Moveable Type, books can be printed cheaply and easily. Bi Sheng invented Moveable Type in China in the 11th century.Telephone: The invento r Alexander Bell made the first telephone call in 1876. “Mr. Waston, come here. I want you,” he said to his assistant over the phone line. And with those famous words, the world was about to get much smaller.Airplane: The Wright Brothers made the first flight in 1903. Air travel has made the faraway places suddenly become a lot closer.Satellite:The Soviet Union sent up the world’s first satellite in 1957. This began the Space Age. Satellites have helped scientists study the earth. Much of our knowledge of the world has come from the information recorded by satellites.Internet: When the Internet was created in 1969 in the US, only a few people knew about it. But more than 650 million people in the world use it now. The Internet has made it easy to get information今年四月份，成都市启动了“文明餐桌行动”，号召全体市民“文明用餐，节俭惜福”。

When no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this bottle full?”Everyone in the class shouted, “Yes.” The teacher replied, “Really?” He pulled out of a bucket of very small rocks. He poured some small rocks in and shook the bottle. The small rocks went down into the spaces among the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this bottle full?”“Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” he replied. He brought out a bucket of sand and poured the sand in the bottle and it went into all of the spaces left among the rocks. Once more, he asked the question “Is this bottle full?”“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said. “Good.” Then he poured a cup of water in until the bottle was full. The he asked, “What is the idea here?” One student put up his hand and said, “The idea is, no matter how busy your life is, you can always do more things if you try really hard!’“No,” the teacher replied, “ that’s not the idea. The idea is if you don’t put the big rocks at first, you’l l never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life? Family, friends, your education,or your dreams.

This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.56．The main idea of this article is .A．that you can improve your speaking ability B．that a poor speaker can never change C．to always make a short speech D．that it is hard to make a speech 57．Paragraph 2 implies that .A．many people are afraid of giving a speech B．many people are happy to give a speech C．many people don’t prepare for a speech D．many people talk too long58．The phrase “talk over their heads” means .A．speak too loudly B．look at the ceilingC．look down upon them D．use words and ideas that are too difficult59．All of the following statements are TRUE except .A．few people know how to make good speechesB．a lecturer does not need to organize his speechC．research is important in preparing a speechD．there are simple steps you can take to improve your speaking ability60．The title for this passage may be .A．Do Not Make a Long Speech B．How to Give a Good SpeechC．How to prepare for a Speech D．Try to Enjoy a speech。
