In Greenland(格陵兰岛), there is a hotel made of ice, open between December and April every year. In Turkey(土耳其), there is a cave(岩洞) hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia(玻利维亚), there is a hotel named the Salt Palace Hotel.Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts(荒漠).The larger of the two deserts is called Uyuni salt desert. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made of salt: the walls, the roof(屋顶), th e tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar. The sun makes the walls and roof warm during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms are warm. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room(单人间) costs＄40 a night, and a double room(双人间) costs＄60.A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, “ Please don’t lick（添）the walls.”1．The Salt Palace Hotel is unusual because__________.A．it has long history.

D．it is made of salt.2．Which sentence about the area around the Salt Palace Hotel is NOT true?A．It was a lake many years ago.B．It is white during the day.C．There are several roads to the hotel.D．There are only two small lakes now.3．Juan Quesada got the salt from ___________to build the hotel.A．the salt deserts B．Greenland C．Turkey D．the small lake4．__________ keeps the rooms warm at night?A．Heat from the walls B．The desert air5．Which of the following is true?A．You can live in the ice hotel in Greenland in October.B．You can watch TV in the cave hotel.C．The salt hotel is in Turkey.D．If you and your friend want to live in the Salt Hotel, you should pay＄40 a night together.B14、Mark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his penname.Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby.

She wrote the story, and then she gave it to me. I am going to give it to her son.She began the story a week ago. It was January 1587, and we sat here in our cold room in Fotheringhay Castle, in the north of England. We couldn't see much from the window. One or two houses, a river, some trees, some horses, and a road. That's all. The road goes to London, the home of Queen Elizabeth of England. Mary sat with her little dog in her hands and watched it, all day long.No one came along the road. Nothing happened. I watched Mary, unhappily."Please, Your Majesty, come away from that window," I said. "It doesn't help. No one is going to come. Queen Elizabeth can't do it-Queens don't kill Queens.""Don't they, Bess?" Mary said. "Then why are we here, in this prison? Why am I not free?""Why, Your Majesty(陛下)? Because Queen Elizabeth is afraid of you.""That's right," Mary said. "She's afraid of me, and she hates me too. She hates me because I am beautiful, and she is not; because I had three husbands, and she never married. And because many people-good Catholic(天主教的)people in England France, Scotland, Spain-say that I, Mary, am the true Queen of England, not Elizabeth. And E}zabeth has no children, so, when she is dead, my son James..."She came away from the window and stood in front of me. "James," she said quietly, "my son, does he think about me sometimes?

One day I asked why she didn’t look for another house. Karen answered, “I will look for another one when I come back from vacation.”Sam hated his job. However, he loved taking photos, and was taking a two-year course to make him better at it. Every day he said his work was boring. I asked him why he didn’t give up his job and start a business of taking photos. His reply was, “When I finish my course, I will start a business."Harry worked for a company that allowed him to retire early, but he had to get less money after he retired. Now Harry became very weak and found it difficult to deal with his work. I was worried about his health because too much work was bad for him. "Why don't you retire, Harry? Do something that you want to do, "I said."If I were older, I would get my full pension. When the next summer comes, maybe I will, "Harry replied.There is an old saying that says:"If and When were planted, and Nothing grew."A year later, Karen is still living in the houses he hates. Sam is still busy with his boring job and hasn't finished his course. Harry is still working and his health is even worse. These people had a lot of stress in their liv es and couldn’t change the situations by thinking "if or when".Life is too short for "ifs and whens".

You play as the “mother” of a frog who lives alone and enjoys traveling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of American adults say they’re lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported.This might be why the UK government declared (宣布) the country’s very first “Minister of Loneliness” (孤独大臣) in January. The minister’s job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The minister’s office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.This loneliness problem may be partly due to social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies (自拍) without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own and feel inferior (较差的) and lonely.But we should remember that no one is destined (注定) to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent (陆地), a part of the main.”Tips to get rid of lonelinessSing your favorite songs.Connect with a friend.Do something creative, such as drawing a picture.Imagine some place you’d like to visit, like a fun gathering or a sporting event.1．What do players do while playing Travel Frog?A．Build houses for their frogs.B．Prepare food and tools for their frogs’ trips.C．Choose places for their frogs to travel.D．Write postcards to their frogs.2．To deal with loneliness, the UK government _____.A．designed the game Travel FrogB．created the “Minister of Loneliness”C．holds parties for people to get togetherD．stopped people’s use of social media3．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Everyone is connected with others.B．We should not compare ourselves to others.C．It’s not fun to feel lonely.D．No one should live alone.F18、Children with autism(孤独症) have difficulty with social skills and communication. They often act in limited and repeated ways and have what seem like unusual strong interests.Autism is more often seen in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying DNA and possible environmental influences.Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis(确诊) of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She led a new study that observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age.“At six months of age, when you lay your baby on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated place, the baby’s head may nod back behind the shoulders, like poor head control. But that does not mean that the baby is going to have autism. It does mean the baby needs to have some exercises to help their body get stronger. And when the babies strengthen their bodies, they are b etter able to play with toys and also with people, which will help them have better outcomes.”By the time a baby is one year old, signs of possible autism include difficulty in using words and not looking eye-to-eye or reaching out to other people. By 14 months, the baby might smile less and use language less. However, Professor Landa says these signs can be very small and their children might be missed during a short health exam.“It’s important for parents to pay attention to their children’s development, and if they care about a child’s development, they should listen to experts.”The earlier parents notice delays, she says, the sooner they can begin simple things that may help improve their children’s development. For example, they can talk to the children about what they are doing, give opinions when the children show them something, and play simple games that keep the children’s attention.1．What’s the best title of the passage?A．How to Confirm a Diagnosis of AutismB．Catching the Early Signs of Autism in BabiesC．Ways to Help Children with Autism to Get BetterD．Children with Autism with Difficulty in Communication2．What can we learn from the third paragraph?A．Landa tried to find differences in babies’ development earlier.B．Landa has found ways to confirm a diagnosis of autism.C．Doctors led a new study to confirm a diagnosis of autism.D．Doctors helped babies with autism develop without difference.3．When a baby with signs of autism is 14 months old, he or she may ________.A．nod the head back behind the shoulders B．have difficulty raising his or her headC．dislike to communicate with others D．like reaching out to other peopleⅤ.书面表达19、假如你是李华，你被邀请在学校组织的“中英学生学习交流会”上发言。

中考英语阅读理解(共20篇)
2010年海陵区初三英语总复习阅读理解（共20篇）（来自朱庄初中）（1）Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected the papers when the exam ended.‘That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral . We wanted to show students how important honesty is,’ said Cai Wenguo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.‘I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,’ said Lang Yu Dan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. ‘Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.’ said Hua Sha.‘I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,’ Liu Qing Xi said.‘I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them,’ Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ____________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in examsD. how to get higher marks ( )2. No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to __________.A. let the students have a good restB. teach the students in a better wayC. help all the students pass the examD. find whether the students were honest( )3. From what the students have said, we know ______________________A. invigilators really help them a lotB. not all of them agree with the headmasterC. something unusual never happens in examsD. no cheating will happen if teachers trust students( ) 4. The underlined word ‘invigilators’ in Paragraph 4 mean _______ in Chinese.A.监考人B. 监视器C. 阅卷人D. 调查者( ) 5. In the sentence ‘And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens ’ ‘they’ refers to __________.A. studentsB. headmastersC. invigilatorsD. monitors（2）It is important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us.Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more cleverly. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.Reuse You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example, give the clothes you do not use or the ones are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to young brothers or sisters.Recycle Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling we can save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted. The metal can be used to make new coke cans.Recover When you buy a box of apples, then there will be a few rotten () ones. You have two choices: one is to throw all the apples away; the other is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.Repair If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old things, or give it to people who can use it after repair it.Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let’s try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.( ) 6. The ‘Reduce ’ rule mainly asks us _____________.A. to use things more cleverlyB. to cut down lots of treesC. to use a lot of paperD. to throw away your old clothes ( )7. What should you think of before throwing things out?A. Buying new ones.B. Repairing.C. Reusing.D. Eating them. ( )8. What’s the correct order for recycling coke cans?a. collect the used cansb. melt themc. smash them flatd. send them to a factoryA. a, b, c, dB. a, d, c, bC. b, d, c, aD. c, a, b, d( )9. The ‘Recover’ rule tells us to _____________.A. keep waste thingsB. cover waste things with earthC. keep the useful partD. to throw everything away ( )10. What is the first suggestion that you should do with broken things?A. To throw them away.B. To put them in a cupboardC. To sell them.D. To repair them.（3）An Unpleasant ExperienceAn old and very rich friend of mine told me he had an unpleasant experience. He went to a famous jewelry shop and asked to be shown some gold necklaces. Afterexamining several, he decided to buy a gold necklace with a precious stone, and asked if he could pay by cheque (支票). The assistant said that was quite in order, after my friend signed his name, he was invited into the manager's office. The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had given them a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble. Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They were polite, too. but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was guilty of a number of recent robberies. Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of stores. The note read, "I have a gun in my pocket. Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer."Fortunately, my friend's handwriting was quite unlike the thief’s. He was not only allowed to go without further delay(延误), but to take the necklace with him. ( )11. When the man asked if he could pay by cheque, the assistant .A. refused to take anyB. invited him into the manager's officeC. said that was all rightD. said nothing was wrong with a cheque( )12. Why was the man invited into the manager's office?A. His handwriting was like a thief’s.B. A thief had used the same name as his.C. He didn't sign his name correctly.D.

In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice , open between December and April every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. Butover time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the dome roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the bar.The sun heats（使变热）the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room costs ＄40 a night, and a double room costs＄60.A sign on the hotel’s wall tells the guests, ‘Please don’t lick（添）th e walls.’ ( )16. What is special description about the Salt Palace Hotel?A. Its long history.B. The price of the rooms.C. The guests that stay there.D. What it is made of.( )17. Which sentence about the area around the Salt Palace Hotel is NOT true?A. It was a lake many years ago.B. It is white during the day.C. There are several roads to the hotel.D.

Sichuan students are getting an extra (额外) hour to sleep in the morning.This year, Sichuan schools decided that students should start classes later. This should help them feel less tired. For Junior high schools, the first classes will begin no earlier than 8:30 am.The changes have made students happy.Liu Xian, 15, said his class was excited by the news on the first day of school. "It's so good we can get up later ! "said Liu.Liu studies in Chengdu No. 4 Middle School. He used to get up at 6:40 am. Now he can get up at 7:40 am because class doesn't start until 8:40 am.Wu Hongli,15 ,said the new timetable is good for her health. "I used to drinkcoffee every night or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework," said Wu," Now I can finish it without coffee. "She used to get up at 6:30 am. Now she can get up at 7:30 am.Wu Hongli's mother was happy, too. She thought more sleep would help her daughter grow taller.But some parents worried that more sleep would mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four.Many teachers, though, say the changes will help students learn better."Students used to doze (瞌睡)for the first two classes in the morning, "said Wu Zongping, an English teacher at Chengdu No. 12 Middle School.

The students in Class 3A had no interest in their lessons. So he decided to do something about Class 3A. On the second day he walked to 3A's classroom. He didn't need to know where it was. He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise. He stood outside the classroom for a few minutes and looked inside through the window. He became angry at what he saw. Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.The headmaster knew what to do. He would go into the classroom, catch the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the others. He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. "Silence ! "he shouted at the top of his voice.This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the oldest-looking boy in the room, who was also the noisiest and had been shouting at others at the top of his voice. He took him by the ear and pulled him to the front of the class. "I'm going to punish you as an example to others," he said. "Now go to my office and wait for me. "Then he turned to the class and lectured them about how they should behave (行为举止) in school.When he had finished, he said, "Does anyone have any questions?"

She bas just become motherless.A few minutes ago, a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq(伊拉克).Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and dries towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down bythe war.And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.In southern parts of the country, like the second largest city, Basra, the UN is working to repair the damage(损失) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power to work again," said Geoffrey Keele, a UN spokesman.But little else can be done, in Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try.and let them escape the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50% of the Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old. And 30% of them are suffering from malnutrition(营养不良).( )11. From the first paragraph, we know that ________.A. the girl in the doctor's arms is deadB. the girl's mother is looking for herC. the girl's mother was killed during the bombingD. the text tells us nothing about her mother( )12.

How much help is the UN giving to the Iraqi children?A. They are helping them return to school.B. They are giving them enough food and drinks.C. They can help only a little.D. They can do nothing.( )15. The number of Iraqi children in malnutrition is about ______.A.20 millionB.10 millionC. 6 millionD. 3 million（8）2004. Athens. 2008. Beijing. Which one is coming next? Five hopeful cities are waiting to find out where the 2012 Olympics will be held.Hosting is no easy work but it's a good chance for a country to attract tourists and make friends with people from all over the world.Two years ago, cities which were interested in hosting the Games enrolled(登记) their names. Later they handed in their reports to the International Olympic Committee(IOC,国际奥林匹克委员会). Nine cities hoped that they would have the honour. On May 18,2004, after the careful checking of each report, the IOC chose five cities: Paris, London, Moscow, Madrid(马德里) and New York City to be the possible cities to hold the 2012 Olympic Games.Since February, the IOC has visited these five cities, Moscow being the last; to hear each city's report as to how they will host the Games.Want to know the result? Some people guess that Paris will be the winner. London and New York could only show plans for gyms to be built for the Games, but Paris showed off their well-run gym that was built for the 1998 Soccer World Cup. One problem with Paris is that they ran against Beijing for the 2008 Game.The IOC members thought that French people were too proud.But don't rush to give an answer. Wait until July 6. On that day in Singapore the IOC will tell the world which city is going to be the next Olympic host. Before that, nobody can be sure!( )16. This passage mainly talks about________.A. how to host the Olympic GainesB. five cities that could host the 2012 Olympic GamesC. the benefits(好处)of hosting the Olympic GamesD. when to announce(宣布) the winner office 2012 Olympic Games( )17.

The underlined word "honour" probably means “_______”.A. prideB. painC. success 'D. luck( )19. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Before July 6, nobody knows for sure which city will host the next OlympicsB. London has already built enough gyms for the 2012 Olympics.C. Each city has to give a report to the IOC first if they want to host the Olympics.D. The IOC will visit those cities before they make the final decision.( )20. The writer seems________about Paris hosting the 2012 Olympics.A. sureB. excitedC. worriedD. unsure1-5DDBAC 6-10 BCCCD 11-15CCBCD 16-20DAABD（9）Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main useof coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can sendout a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger.

He had a n unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Micke y, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan , have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.( ) 16.

The Salt Palace Hotel
The Salt Palace HotelGood morning,eneryone. Today we will take about the Salt Hotel. If you think you have stayed in all kinds of hotels, you’d be much mistaken.

In this hotel, everying is made out of salt such as the walls, the roof and the furniture. The salt can take in the heat of the sun in daytime ,so that it is warm and comfortable at night. The salt desert around the hotel is also a special view. The desert is bright, white and looks very beautiful. In the museum beside the hotel, you can learn a lot of knoeledge about salt. The designer of the Salt Palace Hotel is Juan Quesada. Look at this picture(放图片) Is it a car or a bed? This is the V8 Hotel in Stuttgart. From this article, we can feel the greatness of humans’creativity. Recently, scientists have found that people’s mood and character can influence his creativity. The happier you are, the more creative you can be. People who are outgoing are usually more creative. Today, most students have many homework and stay under too much pressure. And they often complian about it, because too much homework destories their creativity. However, we can’t change this reality. So what we can do is thinking very often and ask more “why”. That’s all. Thank you.。

School was all but impossible for Sparky.He failed every subject in the eighth grade. And though he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he lost the only important match of the season straight away.Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn’t that the other stud ents disliked him. It was just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was surprised if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky was a loser. Him, his classmates… everyone knew it. So he learned to live with it. He made up his mind that if things were meant to work out, they would.One thing was important to Sparky, however-drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else enjoyed it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he sent some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors refused to consider his ideas. Despite (即使；尽管) that, Sparky was sure about his ability. He even decided to become an artist.So, after finishing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They asked for samples (样本) of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, it too was refused. One more confirmation that he was a loser.But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. The main character would be a little boy w ho symbolized the boy who always lost. You know him well. Because Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a kind of cultural phenomenon (现象). People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity.The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was refused again and again, is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip Peanuts continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers.1．The underlined part “he learned to live with it” in Paragraph 3 probably means that Sparky _______.B．learned to say no to being treated badlyC．didn’t care because no one called him a loserD．came to accept not being cared about by other students2．Before he started the Charlie Brown cartoon, _________.A．Sparky doubted whether being an artist was in his future.B．some yearbook editors encouraged Sparky to keep on drawingC．no one valued Sparky’s artwork and it w as refused again and againD．samples of Sparky’s artwork were accepted by Walt Disney Studios3．Why did Sparky’s cartoon character become so popular?A．Because Sparky’s experience was so sad.B．Because people felt they could have to do with it.C．Because it was a kind of cultural phenomenon.D．Because it inspired people to fight for their own lives.4．What can we conclude (推断) from the article?A．Sparky never lost confidence in his ability.B．Artists often have little chance of becoming successful.C．The wr iter believes that others’ opinions don’t matter.D．The writer believes that no loser will become successful in the end.B14、Do you want to have a special holiday?Have a look at our exciting activities and decide what kind of trips you'd like.1．You can do the following things during a cultural Journey EXCEPT .A．visiting an old temple B．meeting local peopleC．visiting markets D．trying diving2．During a Hiking Tour,the travelers .A．need to carry tents themselves B．must love sports very muchC．must be very healthy D．must be with their old friends3．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Y ou can see many animals in Wildlife Holidays.B．Hiking Tours allow people to get close to nature.C．Y ou can go skiing in Hiking Tours.D．They have sand boarding in deserts.C15、There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland(格陵兰岛), there is a hotel made of ice, open between December and April every year. In Turkey(土耳其), there is a cave(岩洞) hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia(玻利维亚), there is a hotel named the Salt Palace Hotel.Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts(荒漠).The larger of the two deserts is called Uyuni salt desert. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made of salt: the walls, the roof(屋顶), the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar.The sun makes the walls and roof warm during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms are warm. The hotel has twelve rooms.

They were beggars and workers on the farm. However, they are people with dreams and hopes. Thanks to Jamii Bora, thousands of them are realizing their dreams.When Ingrid Munro worked in the UK she learned about the lives of the poor, so she always tried her best to help the poor. And in 1988,Munro and her Canadian husband had adopted（收养）a homeless boy. This boy had been run over by a bus and was unable to walk freely. Munro's learning about the hard lives of the poor increased when she adopted the boy's two brothers two years later.In 1999 she decided to start a small club in Kenya. The members would be 50 women, beggars who had been kind to children. No one imagined it could become so successful that it would change into a bank called Jamii Bora Bank.

And she employs ex-beggars, the ones who joined them in the very early days and have come out of poverty. She teaches these beggars how to do everything from the beginning.
