When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner.
I still remember one night my mum put some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his 16 , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night. 17 I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He 18 as usual, every single bit.
After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I 19 burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”20 , I went to kiss Dad good night. I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and
21 , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see — a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect. 22 is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something 23 over these years.

三、阅读理解（每题2分，共34分）
(A)
Long, long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.
So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?”and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(卢比).”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”
4
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that.”But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”
And you think that man was silly, right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.
So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
26．The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because .
A．he hadn’t eaten it before B．he was hungry
C．it was cheap D．he hadn’t seen it before
27．The underlined word “condiment”in Paragraph3 probably means_______.
A．零食B．水果C．调料D．蔬菜
28．Which of the following sentence is TRUE?
A．The man went to India to buy fruit.
B．The man didn’t want to waste money.
C．The man bought the fruit because it was expensive.
D．India can grow a lot of fruit.
29．From the passage, we can learn that_________.
A．we shouldn’t waste money
B．we shouldn’t eat chilies
5
C．we shouldn’t buy something cheap
D．letting something go is better than keeping on losing

Almost everyone likes to eat apples. Apples grow in nearly every part of the world; The United States produces more apples than any other country except France. The states of Washington and New York grow the most apples. Perhaps this is why “New York” is often called “Big Apple” by some people.
Apples are red, yellow or green. They are very popular in the United States. Many people like to carry apples to work or to school to eat with their lunches. Most American people are often too busy or too tired to cook dinner, so they often have their dinners very simply. Apple juice is also a popular drink and apple pie is the favourite sweet dish for many Americans.
There are many stories and sayings about apples. For example, in China, it is a custom(习俗) in some places for the marrying couple (夫妇) to hold an apple in each one’s hand, promising that their marriage（婚姻）will be “safe” without anything bad and that their marriage will never be broken. “You are the apple of my e ye.” means “You are the one I love best and care most.” And “in apple-pie order” usually has the same meaning as “in good order”. It is likely that you hear about “compare apples and oranges”. In fact, it’s another saying about “compare two things that can’t be compared”.

英语学习——攻克听力有方法
目前不少地区中考英语已加入听力考试,且分数值有逐渐加大的趋势。

听力部分一般是放在考卷的前面,因此听力的好坏不仅对考试的成绩有影响,对考生考试的信心、考试的情绪,也会有很大的影响。

高效学习经验——多做英语听力训练
中考英语单科状元
谈起自己的英语学习经验,XX说:“学习要找到适合自己的方法,技巧则可以通过学习他人的长处来提高。

”以英语听力为例,XX是这样说的:“中考的听力并不是很难,只要大家充分地利用好手中的材多进行训练就可以达到甚至超越中考的要求。

平时在家的时候,可以多听听英语故事,看看英文
14
电影,只要不是太难的内容,大家基本上都可以听懂。

另外,考前我坚持做听力训练,每天用10至20分钟‘磨磨耳朵’,听一些短文,提前让耳朵进入考试状态。

关于英语听力的学习,一线教师的建议只有一个:多听。

可并不是说,只听就行,还要有一定的方法。

1.随时随地法。

就是抓紧每一分钟,如上学放学的路上、茶余饭后的闲暇、睡前醒后的空当,见缝插针,有时间就戴上耳机,听,听,听!
2.集中分段法。

所谓集中分段,有两层意思,先说集中,就是在某一段时间内,集中精力听一个内容。

再看分段,就是把一天的时间分成若干段,每一段听不同的内容。

3.先慢后快法。

为了建立起信开始时不妨听语速慢的录音带，然后再过渡到语速快的录音带。

有一位同学说,她备战中考时,就曾先买，语速比正式考试慢一倍的录音带,练习托福听力题。

然后
15
再买来语速与考试时一样的录音带,进行练习。

4.先中后外法。

有一位同学讲她就是先听中国老师录的录音带,然后过渡到纯英文的录音,并没有觉得有什么不妥。

事实上,就是天到晚听纯英文的录音带,只要是生活在中文环境中,仍很难练成纯正的口音。

5.词汇过关法。

有一位同学的学习体会是,在某种程度上讲,听词汇比听课文更重要。

她几乎每天都要听一遍中学课本的词汇册,时间长了,以后碰上听过的词,脑子里一下就能反应出来。

就如同看熟了的老电影,听了上句,就知道下句是什么一个道理。

6.自录自听法。

自录自听的好处很多,我们可以借此检查自己的弱点,又可以借此增强自己的自信心。

高效锦囊——多听英语广播
16
在英语学习方面,一位优等生说:“坚持收听英语广播练听力是我学习英语的一个好方法。

每天早晨六点我都准时收听VOA——英文广播,这样既训练了我的听力,又可以了解国内外发生的大事。

17。
