A Native American and his friend were in downtown New York City, walking near Times Square in Manhattan.It was during the noon lunch hour and the streets were filled with t he noise of people and cars.Suddenly, the Native American said, "I hear a cricket (蟋蟀)."His friend said, "What? You must be crazy.You couldn't possibly hear a cricket in all of this noise!""No, I'm sure of it, "the Native American said, "I heard a cricket.""That's crazy, "said the friend.The Native American listened carefully for a moment, and then walked across the street to a big wall.There they saw bushes (灌木).He looked into the bushes, and sure enough, he found a small cricket.His friend was q uite amazed."That's unbelievable, "said his friend."You must have superhuman ears!""No, "said the Native American."My ears are not different from yours.It all depends on what you're listening for.""But that can't be!"said the friend."I could never hear a cricket i n this noise.""Yes, it's true, "came the reply."It depends on what is really important to you.Here, let me show you."He reached into his pocket, pulled out a few coins, and dropped them on the sidewalk.And then, with the noise of the crowded street still in their ears, they noticed ever y head within 20feet turn and look to see if the money was theirs."See what I mean?

British HumorIs it true that the British laugh at different things from people in other countries? Let's hav e a look at what we laugh at in Britain.To the British, the powerful and important are often figures of fun.It's not just politicians (政治家) who make us laugh quietly, but anyone whose job it is to tell other people what to do an d who take themselves too seriously.We giggle at authority(权威), but also, kindly with anyone who is treated unfairly.We know they can't win, but if th ey do so sometimes, it's even funnier.Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things, w hile in America, they are often clever people doing clever things-and winning.The British laugh when other people might feel very worried.People say that the British a re cold andunwilling to show their feelings and this is expressed in our humor.I don't really think th at's true but I know that we do have a strong sense of irony (反讽)."Not very pleasant", we say after some terrible experience.Along with this, is our love of understatement (轻描淡写)."It's a bit windy today"we might say in the middle of a typhoon, or"There's a slight problem"when something has gone very seriously wrong.A British comedian will often begin by saying"Have you ever noticed…..? "We find humor in ordinary, boring life, especially its negative aspects.As well as this, we find it amusing to tel l jokes about things that have gone wrong for us, rather than not mentioning them in case we look stupid.Our funny stories might start with"I'm such an idiot, I did something really stu pid yesterday".Another thing that can make it difficult to understand"British humor"is that we don't alwa ys laugh or even smile when we say something funny.We often"keep a straight face"even w hen we're making a joke.So, is the British sense of humour unique? Well, probably not.It is the combination of all t hese features that make the British laugh and make so many other people ask"Why is that fu nny? "(1)Which of the following is the British humor?________A The British laugh at themselves.B The British laugh at things that are rude.C The British laugh when they meet boring people.D The British laugh when they think t hings are funny.(2)The underlined phrase"keep a straight face"means the British________.A look confused.B stop laughing.C make a face .D seem expressionless.(3)The writer thinks________.A the British politicians are funny people.B the British sometimes laugh when others might cry.C the British like to tell jokes in pleasant situations.D the British hum or is easy for other people to understand.28. For eight weeks last summer, scientists from several universities and government weat her laboratories carried out the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS).They set up a center in Goodland, Kansas, home to some of the heaviest thunder storms(雷暴雨) in the United States.In this area, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico meets hot, dry air f rom the southwest, resulting in storms so huge that they can last for days as they move east a cross the country.The scientists working in Goodland were trying to learn as much as they could about these disordered storm systems.They already knew that the combination of strong winds, large a mounts of moisture(潮湿), and big differences in temperatures could produce thunderheads, known as Super Cells .They also knew that super cells could produce terrible weather, including tornadoes(龙卷风).What the scientists did not know, however, was why some super cells produce heavy ra in, lightning, and tornadoes, while others produce large hail(冰雹)that can destroy a wheat crop or a roof.The scientists supposed that the physical characteri stics of storm clouds would give the reason for such differences.To study the storm clouds, the researchers in Goodland met each morning and studied weather data(数据), hoping for bad weather.Their cars, equipped with weather instruments, were ready .Whenever a storm came near, some scientists drove toward the storm front and began coll ecting data on winds, temperature, air pressure, and humidity.During the storm, they also c alculated the time and place of every lightning strike.At the same time that the scientists on the ground were collecting their data, researchers i n the air were operating a special radar station that would help them measure the shape and size of the water drops inside the clouds.These scientists rode in a single-engine plane specifically designed to fly through terrible weather systems.While the pilot g uided the plane through heavy wind, lightning, hail, and ice, the scientists on board collected their storm data.Researchers say that it will take years for them to understand all the data they have collect ed.Their hope is that by comparing the conditions on the ground with the conditions in the air, it may be possible to learn much more about how lightning is produced, why some storm s produced baseball-sized hail, and why others produce floods and tornadoes.(1)According to the passage,large,disordered storm systems can be caused________.A by tornadoes. B by large hail and ice. C when humid air and hot,dry air meet. D when water drops make clouds grow too large.(2)Which of the following actions did the scientists carry out first?________A They collected storm data.B They waited for bad weather.C They measured w ater drops.D They drove toward the storm front.(3)The research data collected by the scientists in Kansas________.A was so great that it will take time to sort out properly.B has provided clear answers to the scientists'questions.C will lead to other research projects at the STEPS labs.D has explained why some storms produce hail and others do not.(4)What's the passage mainly about?________A How scientists used what they knew about storms in their research.B How the scien tists tried to learn more about serious storm systems.C How scientists collected differe nt data on land and in the air.D How scientists chose Goodland Kansas as their researc h base.五、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有一项为多余选项.(共8分,每小题8分)29.Maria Martinez is remembered today as the maker of beautiful pottery.Her pottery is in mu seums all over the world.(60)________ She lived in New Mexico in America.As a young woman,Maria was known for the fine pots she made.Maria and the other village women made pots for their families.They also sold pots to visitors.In 1908,some archaeologists (考古学家) found broken bits of pottery in Maria's village.They belonged to Americans who lived there 700years before.(61)________ They were thinner than Maria's pots.The finds influenced her art.Maria decided t o make such a pot.Her husband helped her.They had to find a way to make the pot thinne r.Maria knew the clay she used would not work.A thin pot made out of that clay would cr ack (破裂) easily.Maria mixed different amounts of clay,sand,and water.(62)________ Maria produced many pots in her lifetime.(63)________ They are keeping the old ways alive just as Maria had done before.A.Her son and grandson also learned how to make beautiful pots.B.At last,she discovered a mix that would not crack.C.Maria taught her husband how to make pots.D.Then the archaeologists showed them to Maria.E.Maria was born around 1881.六、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题.(共10分,每小题10分)30. As mobile phones grow in popularity,telephone booths have become fewer in German cities.But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology-books.Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education,Employment and Culture decided to start the BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berl in.They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put bench es outside for people to sit down and take a reading break."It teaches people about reusing in details,about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning,"said Kutt.These public bookshelves are in the streets of many cities across Germany.The se libraries are supported by donations and taken care by local volunteer groups.Each shelf holds around 200 books.It takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.Each of Berlin's three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who a re also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths.The telepho ne booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them aw ay.Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure t hey are often cleaned.In these libraries,people can read whatever they want to read.Local people who visit the booths are encoura ged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them.There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow,like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community's good wi ll.One woman named Petra Rücker,a 45-year-old social worker,stopped by to take a look at the books."I come by here on the way to work but never have st opped by until now,"Rücker said."It looks interesting."This time,she left without a book."But I will certainly be back here,"she said.64.Are telephone booths very popular in Germany?________65.How long does it take to replace the old books?________66.Why are there no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow?________67.Did Petra Rücker leave the booth with a book or without a book?________68.What are the main points about the passage?________.九、完成句子.(共10分,每小题2分)根据中文意思完成句子.31. 我对所犯的错误感到抱歉.I________ my mistake.32. 麦克和安迪学习一样的努力.Mike studies________ Andy.33. 太晚啦,你今天或明天去体育中心都行.It's too late.You can go to the sports center________.34. 他一直在修自行车,忘了给你回电话.He________ the bike.He forgot to call you back.35. 他昨天把笔记中的难点尽可能多的挑选出来复习后才做作业.He________ yesterday.八、文段表达.(共15分)36. 根据中文提示和英文书信内容,写一篇意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于60词的回信,信的开头和结尾已给出,其词数不计入所完成的回信内.请不要写出你的校名和姓名.假设你叫李飞,是美国中学生杰克的笔友,你收到了他的来信.请给杰克写一封回信,回答他的问题,介绍你对他在北京的安排或者建议.Dear Li Fei,I'm lucky to have you as my host family.I will stay in Beijing just for two days.I hope to go to your school and study with you.I'm interested in your courses and after-class activities.I also want to know more about Beijing?Could you please show me around Beijing?Would you mind telling me the two-day life and activities?I'm looking forward to your letter.Yours,JackDear Jack,I'm glad to hear from you..Yours,Li Fei.2012年北京市海淀区中考英语二模试卷答案1.

Teenager Callie Rogers was"jumping and screaming"when she realized she had become the National Lottery's (彩票) youngest ever millionaire (百万富翁).The 16-year-old, from Cockermouth, Cumbria, described the moment when she realized that she had won the£1, 875, 000prize on Saturday.Callie told reporters at the meeting organized by the lottery that she was dog-sitting for a friend when the draw (抽奖) took place.She said she rushed home to check the numbers-1, 10, 17, 23, 29, and 35-which were based on her family birthdays.Callie was one of eight winners sharing the£15, 000, 000prize.And she said she was looking forward to taking her first holiday in Australia. She said: "Hopefully I will help my family have a better life."But Callie, who left school in December last year, said becoming a millionaire would mean a different future.She said she was going to go traveling for two years, and then would like to become a social worker.One of the first things she hopes to buy is a new computer for her mother.Callie, who will be 17in December, is going to treat herself as well, and said she wanted to buy a Peugeot 206 when she learnt to drive.She said: "My brother also wants a motorbike and my sister wants a piano."Callie had been working since leaving school at a number of jobs, as a shop assistant, a wai tress, and at the Community Center, and she was happy to take a break.(1)What prize did Callie win?________A £1,875,000.B £15000,000. C A holiday in Australia. D A Peugeot 206.(2)Callie chose the lottery numbers according to________.A her telephone number .B her family birthdays.C the ages of her family .D her friends'birthdays.(3)What will Callie probably do after winning the prize?________A She will go traveling for a year.B She will continue her education.C She will b uy a new computer for her grandmother.D She will buy the gifts that her brother and s ister want.27.Of the many kinds of vegetables grown all over the world, which remains the favorite of both the young and old? The potato, of course.Perhaps you know them as"taters", "spuds", or"Id ahoes".But it's no matter, a potato by any other name is still a potato-the world's most widely grown vegetable.As a matter of fact, if you are a normal potato eat er, you will eat at least a hundred pounds of them each year.That's only a tiny part of the total grown every year, however.Worldwide, the potato harv est (收获) every year is over six billion bags, with each bag having a hundred pounds of spuds, so me of them as large as four pounds each.In the United States, farmers fill about four hundre d million bags a year.That may seem like a lot of taters, but it leaves us in third place amon g world potato growers.Farmers in Poland (波兰) dig up just over 800million bags a year, while the Russians lead the world with nearly 1. 5billion bags.People eat potatoes in many ways-baked (烘烤), mashed (捣成糊状), and roasted, to name just three.However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries.One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1billion worth of fries each year.No wonder, then, that th e company pays close attention to the way its fries are prepared.Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at this popular restaurant, it must pass many separate tests.Fail any one and the French fry is thrown away.To start with, only a certai n kind of Idaho potato is used to make fries.They have less water than other kinds.Once c ut into"shoestring"shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in secret oils, sprayed (喷洒) with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, and then quickly frozen for s hipment to each restaurant.Before shipping, though, every shoestring is measured (测量).Forty percent of the fries must be between two and three inches long.Another forty p ercent has to be over three inches.What about the twenty percent that is left? Well, a few sh ort fries in a bag are okay, it seems.So, now that you realize the huge size and value of the potato crop, you can understand wh y most people agree that this part of the food industry is no"small potatoes."(1)According to the passage,which country has the largest harvest of potatoes?________ A America. B Russia. C Poland. D France.(2)What can be known about Americans and French fries?________A Americans like to eat French fries at home.B Americans care about French fries'size and shape.C Americans eat French fries less than mashed potatoes.D Americans prefer potatoes to be cooked in this way.(3)What is the main idea of this passage?________A Potatoes are known by many names.B The way of making French fries is interesting .C The potato is an important vegetable in America.D The various names of pota toes have a long history.28. What does the word"patent (专利权)"mean to you? Does it interest you? If it does, stop and think a moment about some of the co mmonplace things that you use every day: the telephone, radio, television, and the thousands of other things that enrich our lives today, were once only ideas in the minds of men.If it ha d not been possible to patent their ideas, so as to protect them from being copied, these inve ntions might never have been fully developed to serve human beings.If there were no patent protection there would be little encouragement to invent, for once t he secrets of an invention became known, those who did not experience the inventor's risks and expenses(花费) might well fill the market with their copies of his product and steal much of the benefit (益处) of his efforts.The most basic values in the U.S.patent system came from England.During the rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England, the growing technology was furthered by the giving of exclusiv e privileges (独家特权) to people who had invented new processes (程序) or tools-a step that did much to encourage creativity.Later, an important value was added: society h ad everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving exclusive privileges to an inventor, becaus e a patent for an invention was given for something new that society never had before.George Washington signed the first patent law on April 10, 1790, and less than four month s later, the first patent was given to a man named Samuel Hopkins for a chemical process, an i mproved method in soap making.In 1936, the Patent Office became a separate department and it has grown into an organiza tion of over 2, 500people who every week deal with more than 1, 600patent applications, an d of those, give more than 1, 000.A patent may be given for any new and useful process, ma chine, or planning method.The patent system has also helped to improve the pay of the American worker to an unexp ected level; he can produce and earn more by using computers or adding machines, two imp ortant patented inventions.Patented inventions also help keep prices down by encouraging competition.Our patent laws, like the Constitution from which they grew, have stood the test of time.T hey have encouraged creative processes, brought great benefits to society as a whole, and en abled American technology to outstrip that of the rest of the modern world.(1)From the passage,what can we learn about inventors?________A They make a lot of money.B They fight against copiers.C They have a lot of ex perience.D They put effort into inventions.(2)Why were inventors given exclusive privileges?________A Because their inventions made leaders happy.B Because their creativity is very imp ortant.C Because their inventions could enlarge society.D Because they were the smartest people in society.(3)According to the passage,the patent system is good for America because________.A it helps more workers get jobs.B it provides a first-class service. C it produces less expensive things. D it helps inventors find market s.(4)What is the meaning of"outstrip"in the last paragraph?________A be better than.B catch up with.C make better use of.D cost more than.七、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有一项为多余选项.(共8分,每小题8分)29. When a man was passing the elephants,he suddenly stopped,not understanding how these huge animals could be held by only a small rope tied to their fr ont leg.No chains (链子),no cages (笼子).(60)________.But for some reason,they did not.He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get a way."Well,"the trainer said,"when they are very young and much smaller,we use the same size rope to tie them and,at that age,it's enough to hold them.As they grow up,they have to come to believe they cannot break away.(61)________.So they never try to break free."The man couldn't believe what he was seeing.These animals could at any time break free fr om their ropes.(62)________.They believed they couldn't.Many of us go through life like the elephants.We sometimes believe that we cannot do som ething,simply because we failed at it once before.(63)________.We should never give up the struggle (抗争) in life.A.Failure is part of learningB.Success is not what we wantC.They believe the rope can still hold themD.But they were stuck right where they wereE.It was clear that the elephants could break away from their ropes.八、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题.(共10分,每小题10分)30. The idea of teamwork is very important to the success of any team.All coaches talk about working as one unit,as a team that plays as one.Teamwork and unselfishness (无私) create the strong center of a great team; without them a team cannot play well against other teams.You can have a group of superstars,but if they do not work well as one unit,they are not going to be successful.The team working as one unit is going to be successful.Here are some things to consider when you are looking at your team:◆ Does your team have agreed-upon goals they created as a team?◆ Do the players openly encourage and support one another?◆ Do they have open communication with one another,as well as the coaches?◆ Does each player know what their role on the team is?◆ Is there shared respect among the players and coaches?◆ Do players use words such as"we"when referring to the team?◆ Have they created a positive (乐观的) team image for themselves?◆ Does the team as a whole want to improve their performance?◆ Does each member consider themselves as a"team player"?A winning team has players that share common goals and a common dream.Teams come to gether through shared attitudes about a particular sport.They may come together for a nu mber of different reasons,but their goals are the same-to achieve top performance and experience success.The ends may be different but the mea ns by which one gets there is the same-teamwork.Teamwork is something that must be on the top of the list.Every player needs to understan d how important it is for them to work smoothly together if they want to be successful.Eac h player must be true to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly.When challenges (挑战) come,the team needs to deal with them in a positive manner.A sense of teamwork will play an im portant part in this.Just remember T.E.A.M.-Together Everyone Achieves More!64.What can create the strong center of a great team?________65.Which is more important to the success of a team,teamwork or superstars?________ 66.How many things are considered when you are looking at your team?________ 67.How does a team come together according to Paragraph 3?________68.What is the text mainly about?________.九、完成句子(共10分,每小题2分)根据中文意思完成句子.31. 一起吃晚餐庆祝父亲节怎么样?________ having dinner together to celebrate"Father's Day"?32. 他们是好朋友,相处得很融洽.They are good friends and they________ each other.33. 我们需要一条新的规定,阻止学生们浪费粮食.We need a new rule to________ food.34. 政府更多关注药品安全是非常必要的.________ the government________ the drug safety.35. 这位严格的老师经常警告她的学生要么按时上交作业,要么不能通过这门课.The strict teacher often warns her students that________.十、文段表达(15分)36. 根据中文和英文提示词语,写出意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于60词的短文.请不要写出你的真实校名和姓名.某英文报纸以"A Good Sentence to Me"为题征文,请你投稿.请你从下面的三句话中选出你最喜欢的一句,并结合自己的经历谈谈你喜欢它的理由.☆The more we read,the more we will know.☆Helping others is one of the gifts we have to give in life.☆If we're not making mistakes,then we're not doing anything.________.2012年北京市西城区中考英语二模试卷答案1.

"You know, these cups bring to mind a story I heard, "Mary said to her friends in her ho me.She poured some tea.There were four of them and there were four completely different c ups on the table."I heard there was a teacher who took all his students for tea.They were surprised that al l the cups on the table were different.They all took a cup and started drinking their tea, eac h looking at the cups of the others.The teacher said: "Do you notice your behavior? You are all looking at each other's teacup and some of you even envy (羡慕) the finer cups of others."I put the different cups here on purpose.Life is like this tea.You all have the same thing in your cups-tea.And yet you cannot truly enjoy it in your envy of another's cup.You forget to enjoy you r own life when you envy someone else's life.So now, taste your own tea.Does it matter from which cup it came from?

C More than 16million yuan reached the fr ee lunch program soon. D A poor student cango to a special site on the Internet for free lunches.28. Heredity is not the only thing that influences our color.Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too.Our skin color depends to a great extent on how much sunshine we get.During the cold winter months, people keep themselves covered.A group of light-colored people will all seem to be pretty much the same color in these months.But when su mmer arrives and they go to the eaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and a few will not tan at all.Each one has inherited a different ability to tan.Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and had to work in the fields all day.Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work.They stayed indoors and remain ed pale.You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan.During the Industrial Revolution things changed.Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines, and mills.Working for long hours in dingy-lit factories and mines made their skins pale.Wealthy people, however, could afford to trave l to sunny countries.They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get a tan.Havin g a tan became a sign of wealth.In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable.Instead of bleachi ng themselves white with lemonjuice, many women spend their time under a sunlamp.The desire for a quick tan has led to the nvention of pills and lotion (乳液) that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight.These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore.A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vac ation in the sunny West India and get his suntan there.But his lowest-paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle of a few cents.So there are three answers to the question"Where does our color come from?

The 36 overhead provided some relief (缓解) from the heat.The trip was really comfortable and peaceful. Then I stopped rowing, sat back and closed my eyes 37 I heard Dad rowing quietly.Suddenly I heard a buzzing (嗡嗡声), close to my right ear. I sat there still and looked at my father, with great hopes of his help. “Don’t move and he’ll not 38 you,” said my father and kept rowing. I thought to myself, “What is he talking about?” Then I looked 39 me and saw it. A bee! A large terrible bee! For me, it was more than 40 , although I couldn’t explain why, neither my mother nor my doctors. At that time, I must have looked like a statue (雕塑). However, my father ju st rowed. “He’s tired. Once he’s rested enough, he’ll keep on 41 .”Was I hearing correctly? Was my father telling me to just let the terrible bee sit on my shoulder? I 42 my head slowly toward the right and saw there he sat. As I watched him, I became more and more interested in his bright yellow and black jacket. The fear was little by little disappearing and I felt more 43 . But before I could do anything, he began testing his wings and then flew 44 . I was able to track (跟踪) him and saw him cross the water and head into the forest. I sat back and looked at Dad. “I 45 you.” was all he said. We rowed away without any words on the way.More than 30 years have passed since that afternoon, but the 46 at that moment has taken root (根) in my heart. In the following years I thought hard about that tired bee. I realized that for the first time in my life I connected to something 47 than myself. I came to believe he was sent to give me a lesson that we are all one. No man is an island.36. A. cloud B. sun C. air D. wind37. A. after B. before C. while D. until38.
