Last summer, her parents sent her to live with her grandparents in the countryside.Life in the countryside was peaceful. However, one day after lunch, Lucy shouted loudly from the kitchen. Her grandma hurried into the kitchen. She thought there must be an accident. But Lucy was not injured at all. Instead, the little girl was standing on top of the dining table. She looked scared, pointing to a broom in the corner.“What is it?” asked Grandma.“A mouse!” cried Lucy.“Is it huge?”“No, ” said the little girl. ”It is just a small mouse. ”Grandma smiled to herself. Soon, Lucy couldn’t help but join in. As Grandma brought her granddaughter down from the table, she asked, “Why do you fear mice so much? Don’t you like all animals?’“I just can’t help it. Each time I see mice I want to shout. I don’t like the way they look, ” Lucy answered.Grandma smiled and said, ”Oh, that’s not very nice. They cannot change the way they look, can they?”“When I was a little girl, there was a war, ”Grandma went on. ”We couldn’t go out to play on the street. Watching mice was fun and helped me forget about my troubles. And it turned out that mice were excellent teachers. They showed me how to walk quietly. Thanks to that little trick, I was able to visit my friends who lived across the street. I also learned from mice how to hide myself from soldiers and av oid problems. ”Lucy was surprised. ”Perhaps, ”she said, ”mice are not so bad after all. ”Just then, the mouse that had scared Lucy appeared from behind the broom and ran out into the garden.

The answers will probably be “Yes”. Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can’t live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing (使用) the Internet most of the time. Here comes a piece of good news,A rich, large company in the USA—Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) will give free Wi-Fi to every person on the Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit (轨道) .This is because they find that only 60% of the world’s population (人口) can get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure to access the Internet.We hope to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.BThe human body has its limits. There are many things that our bodies cannot do. But some people test these limits. They surprise us. The BBC’s Focus magazine has some answers.How long can you hold your breath underwater?Practicing holding your breath underwater is dangerous sometimes. If water goes into your lungs (肺) , you may die. With a little training, a person can hold his breath for two to three minutes. This is already quite good. Aleix Segura Vendrell is a diver (潜水员) from Spain. He can hold his breath for about 24 minutes. This is the world record for breath-holding, the Daily Mail reported.How much can a human lift?Usually, a healthy person can lift 50 to 60 kilograms. This is a safe lift. Lifting heavy things can tear our muscles (肌肉) . But athletes can lift a lot. Andy Bolton is a British weightlifter. He can lift 457. 5 kilograms from the floor to his thigh (大腿) . That’s the most that any human can lift, according to New Scientist.How long can we stay awake?What happens when people don’t get enough sleep? They become grumpy (脾气暴躁的) . Sometimes, they even can’t think very clearly. According to Huff Post, Randy Gardner from the United States holds the record for the longest time spent awake.

This does not really mean that they get any exercise. What they do is to watch national teams on TV. They watch baseball, football, basketball, hockey, golf and tennis which means that for most of the weekends they sit in front of the TV. Sometimes, their friends watch with them.Baseball is the great American sport and every team has fans. Almost every big city has a team, and as each team plays 162 games a year, following baseball can take up a lot of time. The playing season begins in spring and finishes in the fall World Series(世界职业棒球赛), when two leading teams play against each other. The first to win four games wins the Series. Although called World Series, it has only one other country to take part in —Canada.Football played in autumn and winter is also popular. It is not at all like the game called soccer. There isn’t much kicking in American football, which has more to do with running with the ball and knocking people down. Each team only plays 16 games during the season, and these take place on Sundays and Monday evenings. Half the country watches the final game on a Sunday, in January.When there are no good games on TV, Americans watch college sports.

冀教版八年级英语阅读理解练习题二(含答案)

冀教版八年级英语阅读理解练习题二（含答案）AOne afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves.I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk.I admired the husband"s patience for putting up with her continuous talk.Distracted by their noise,I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art.Each time I heard her constant burst of words,I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit.Before they left,the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object.He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife"s jacket.“He"s a brave man.”The clerk at the counter said,”Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age.During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change.So ,as before,he and his wife come in whenever there"s a new art show.”“But what dose he get out of the art?”I asked,“He can"t see.”“Can"t see?You"re wrong.He sees a lot.More than you or I do.”The clerk said,“His wife d escribes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience,courage and love that day.I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.1.The young couple were at an art museum .A.to show their loveB.to appreciate artC.to discuss paintingsD.to describe paintings2.“…I moved away quickly.”in Paragraph 3 shows that the writer .A.was in the hope of visiting more roomsB.was in a hurry to buy some giftsC.was tired of the nonstop talkingD.was not interested in the art show3.We can infer from the passage that the husband .A.was not born blindB.couldn’t stand his wifeC.knew nothing about artpletely depended on his wife4.After hearing what the clerk had said about the couple,the writer was .A.encouragedB.excitedC.touchedD.annoyed5.The passage is mainly about .A.the importance of artB.good manners in publicC.patience of a husbandD.love between a couple【答案】1--5 BCACDBA small ,white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas.Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…,spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤）at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church.These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That"s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.6. Justin hated Christmas because _____.A. he didn’t enjoy receiving giftsB. he had a hard time choosing giftsC. he spent too much money buying giftsD. he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree7. We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church _____.A. were well dressedB. paid no attention to safetyC. feared Kevin"s teamD. couldn’t afford a helmet8. How did Justin feel about the team"s failure ?A. UpsetB. AngryC. HopelessD. Shameful9. Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name ?A. To avoid being thankedB. To play a joke on JustinC. To give Justin a surpriseD. To protect her private information10. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Church GiftB. A Special NoteC. The White EnvelopeD. A Christmas Card 【答案】6-10 BDACC。

Last summer, her parents sent her to live with her grandparents in the countryside.Life in the countryside was peaceful. However, one day after lunch, Lucy shouted loudly from the kitchen. Her grandma hurried into the kitchen. She thought there must be an accident. But Lucy was not injured at all. Instead, the little girl was standing on top of the dining table. She looked scared, pointing to a broom in the corner.“What is it?” asked Grandma.“A mouse!” cried Lucy.“Is it huge?”“No, ” said the little girl. ”It is just a small mouse. ”Grandma smiled to herself. Soon, Lucy couldn’t help but join in. As Grandma brought her granddaughter down from the table, she asked, “Why do you fear mice so much? Don’t you like all animals?’“I just can’t help it. Each time I see mice I want to shout. I don’t like the way they look, ” Lucy answered.Grandma smiled and said, ”Oh, that’s not very nice. They cannot change the way they look, can they?”“When I was a little girl, there was a war, ”Grandma went on. ”We couldn’t go out to play on the street. Watching mice was fun and helped me forget about my troubles. And it turned out that mice were excellent teachers. They showed me how to walk quietly. Thanks to that little trick, I was able to visit my friends who lived across the street. I also learned from mice how to hide myself from soldiers and av oid problems. ”Lucy was surprised. ”Perhaps, ”she said, ”mice are not so bad after all. ”Just then, the mouse that had scared Lucy appeared from behind the broom and ran out into the garden.

The answers will probably be “Yes”. Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can’t live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing (使用) the Internet most of the time. Here comes a piece of good news,A rich, large company in the USA—Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) will give free Wi-Fi to every person on the Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit (轨道) .This is because they find that only 60% of the world’s population (人口) can get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure to access the Internet.We hope to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.BThe human body has its limits. There are many things that our bodies cannot do. But some people test these limits. They surprise us. The BBC’s Focus magazine has some answers.How long can you hold your breath underwater?Practicing holding your breath underwater is dangerous sometimes. If water goes into your lungs (肺) , you may die. With a little training, a person can hold his breath for two to three minutes. This is already quite good. Aleix Segura Vendrell is a diver (潜水员) from Spain. He can hold his breath for about 24 minutes. This is the world record for breath-holding, the Daily Mail reported.How much can a human lift?Usually, a healthy person can lift 50 to 60 kilograms. This is a safe lift. Lifting heavy things can tear our muscles (肌肉) . But athletes can lift a lot. Andy Bolton is a British weightlifter. He can lift 457. 5 kilograms from the floor to his thigh (大腿) . That’s the most that any human can lift, according to New Scientist.How long can we stay awake?What happens when people don’t get enough sleep? They become grumpy (脾气暴躁的) . Sometimes, they even can’t think very clearly. According to Huff Post, Randy Gardner from the United States holds the record for the longest time spent awake. He didn’t sleep for about 264 hours.根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。

Most Australians love camping inthe holiday. The country has a long history about it, which is a way of life for people in that country. Although that way of life has mostly died out in the modern country, we must take care to remember it.There is a long tradition. When gold was first discovered and people came from around the world to find their fortune(运气), many could not afford to stay in a hotel. Even if they wanted to, there weren't enough hotels. So they all brought tents and set them up next to their little goldfield. Many people alivein Australia today are born from those people who spent large parts of theirlives in tents. And it seems to have stayed with us all the way to modern Australia.In summer, the nation’s camping grounds are covered with families on holiday. It is a great experience for a kid to stay in a tent. He or she canhear all the sounds of nature in the tent. It’s a place where kids can learn skills like making a fire, cooking and swimming in the water. These experiences can be used for their whole lives. So, you can see it’s always the whole family to go out to the camping grounds and stay in a tent.Of course, things have changed a lot from the early days of camping, whenyou would carry everything needed on your back. Now there are all kinds of tools to take with you, from solar panels(太阳能板) for your electric products to an outdoor shower. They make the camping life more colorful. In fact, many camping grounds you see around the country are so decorated(装饰的）that you have to wonder why those Australians aren't bored to leave the house at all.16. The second paragraph mainly tells us about_____.A. the history of camping in AustraliaB. what the first visitors did in AustraliaC. the hotel situations in AustraliaD. Australian’s modern way of life17. What do Australians prefer to do when summer comes?A. To go fishing.B. To make tents by themselves.C. To go camping.D. To listen to nature.18. We can learn from the passage that_____.A. solar panels are necessary for campingB. things have changed a lot about campingC. there are lots of goldfields in AustraliaD. camping has already died out nowadays19. What is the best title for the passage?A. The history of Australia.B. The tradition of Australia.C. Traveling in Australia.D. Camping in Australia.B篇Saalumrada Thimmakka, an uneducated woman who, along with her late husband, planted and cared for 384 banyan trees(榕树) in her hometown of HUlikal village, Inida. Now she is 104 years old. And she lives on to tell the story.When Thimmakka was a young girl, she married a farmer named CHikkaiah and together they made a living by farming. The couple remained childless for many years. But instead of losing themselves in self-pity, they decided to make the best of their situation. “One day, we thought why not plant trees and take care of them like our children,” Thimmakka said.They started by grafting(嫁接) 10 saplings(树苗) from the banyan trees that grew in their village. They planted those saplings on an empty land about four kilometers from the village. There wasn't any water in the area, so they carried water all the way to water the trees every single day. They protected the saplings from bad weather and animals, until they took root(根). The next year, they planted 15 more saplings, 20 the year after that, and kept going until they planted a total of 384 trees, which are worth about 1.5 million dollars now.Today, the trees have grown up into a forest. The forest is between the villages of Hulikal and Kudoor, about 80 kilometers away from the state capital of Bangalore.

And she went to the teacher Mrs. James for help. Mary: Mrs. James, there is a color in each of the sentences. What do they mean? Mrs. James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow afraid.

Mrs. James: Certainly. Now I just give you some cakes. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.

For example, they don't like to live on the thirteenth floor.My friend Jack has got the same idea. He doesn't like the number 13, either. One day, he asked some friends to dinner. When all of his friends arrived, he asked them to sit around the dinner table. He began to count the people in his mind while they were having the delicious food. Suddenly, he cried out, "Oh, there are thirteen people here!" Everybody's face turned white except Mr. Brown. He said slowly with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, my dear friends! We have fourteen people here. My wife Mrs. Brown will have a baby in a few weeks. She's in the family way now. "All of them became happy again."Congratulations!" they said to Mrs. and Mr. Brown.

One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people, When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules(法规)to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 in now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused(引起)by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.11.________,our world is becoming much smaller.A. Because of the rise in pollutionB. Thanks to science developmentC. Because the earth is being polluted day and nightD. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year12.Hundreds of years ago, life was ________it is today.A. much easier thanB. as easy asC. much harder thanD. as hard as13. Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it.Here “it”means________.A. rubbishB. noise pollutionC. air pollutionD. water pollution14.Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because________.A. it makes much noiseB. it makes us angry more easilyC. it makes our rivers and lakes dirtyD. it’s bad for all living things in the world15.Which of the following is NOT true?A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.C. The problem of the pollution is not so serious because there are not so many peopleliving on the earth.D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would behelpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.DIf you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels.If a comet isn’t a star, what is it the n?Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again.16.A comet is like ________.A. sunB. moonC. sunlightD. the earth17.A large part of a comet is ______.A.water and rockB. water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with ironC. ice, iron and rock dustD. only a few big pieces of rock18.Maybe many people _______.A. haven’t seen any cometsB. have seen all cometsC. have seen a comet at daytimeD. have seen a comet19.Some comets keep coming back ________.A. at any timeB. at noonC. at regular timesD. at daytime20.Halley’s Comets came back _____.A. in 1990B. in 1980C. in 1986D. in 1989EA farmer had a cow.

He telephoned the vet.“What’s the problem?”The vet asked him when he arrived.“My cow's ill,”the farmer said. “I don’t know what's the matter with her. She’s lying down and won’t eat. She's making a strange noise.”The vet looked over the cow. "She's certainly ill," he said, "and she needs to take some very strong medicine."He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, "Give her these. The pills should make her better."“How should I give them to her?”the farmer asked.The vet gave him a tube (管子)and said, "Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That'll make it."The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried.“How's your cow?”the vet asked.“No change,”the farmer said, “and I’m feeling very strange myself.”“Oh?”the vet said, "Why?"“I did what you said,”the farmer answered. “I put the tube in the cow's mouth and then put two pills down it.”“And?”the vet asked.“The cow blew first,”the farmer said.21.In the story, the vet must be _________.A. the farmer's friendB. a milk factoryC. a hospital for cowsD. a doctor for animals22.The farmer asked the vet for help when his cow _______A. couldn't lie downB. didn't eat the pillsC. couldn't make any noiseD. was ill23.What medicine did the vet give the farmer?A.

The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon, and they were ready for a long way.Soon they heard the sea below them. They were carrying the usual rope , and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water. Or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. They were also carrying some bags of sand.After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. There was also some snow on the balloon, and that made it very heavy. It began to go down towards the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling; so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake below and made a black hole in the ice.At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had traveled 1,797 kilometers from London!26hree men flew in a balloon _________.A. more than a century agoB. to visit PolandC. for nearly 1,800 kilometersD. to another city27.The metal box was used for _______.A. changing weightB. carrying ropes of the basketC. keeping drinking waterD. carrying the bags of sand28.When the balloon went up higher, ________.A.they saw the sun go downB. the temperature of the balloon began to fallC. they could see a black hole on the groundD. they made a hole in the basket with their knives29.The balloon landed __________.A. in a foreign countryB. on a lakeC. in LondonD. on the sea30.The three men had to land because _______.A.they were very hungryB. they had not enough sandC. they pulled the box into the basketD. they felt too coldGIf you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信号) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (枪声). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover up to the holes with branches with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.根据短文内容判断正（T）误（F）31.If you lost in the forest, you should stay where you are and give signals three times.32.If you want to let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun, you shouldshout or whistle three times33.When you hear two shouts, or whistles, or gunshots, you should try to run to them.34.When you want to leave your place to get drinking water, you should make a fire so thatyou can have some tea.35.This passage mainly tells you what you should do if you get lost in a forest .。

八年级英语阅读水平竞赛试题（时量：40分钟总分：120分）Name：Class：Score：阅读理解1 Mr. and Mrs. Turner live outside a small town. They have a big farm and they are always busy working on it. Their son, Peter, studied at a middle school. The young man studied hard and did well in his lessons. It made them happy.Last month Peter finished middle school and passed the entrance examination (升学考试). Mrs. Turner was very happy and told the farmers about it.Yesterday morning the woman went to the town to buy something for her son. On the bus she told one of her friends how clever and able her son was. She spoke very loudly. All the people in the bus began to listen to her.“Which university (大学) will your son study in?” a woman next to her asked. “In the most famous university in our country!” Mrs. Turner said happily. “The most famous university?”“Oxford University (牛津).”Most of the passengers (乘客) looked at her carefully. Some of them said to her, “Congratulations!”A woman said, “I'm sure he'll know Fred Smith.”“Who's Fred Smith?”“He's my son.”“Does he study in the university, too?”“No, ”said the woman. “He is one of the professors.”（）l.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.（）1. We know that the word “cool” has ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning（）2. In the passage, the word “express” means“________”.A. seeB. showC. knowD. feel（）3.

Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.He walked into the station cafe(咖啡馆). he looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror(镜子) on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Tom’s workmates came in and sat with Tom.“What time is your bus?” asked Mike.“There’s plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.“Well, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said Mike.They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. “Oh! It’s going backward(倒行)!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.”“You’re looking at the clock in the mirror.” said Mike. Tom was so sad(难过). The next bus was not to leave for another hour. Since then Tom has never liked mirrors.1、Tom went into the station cafe because .A．Mike asked him to have a cup of teaB．it was quite early and he could find a seat thereC．he didn’t like to stay with the schoolgirlsD．he wanted to have a drink with his workmate there2、What time was it in fact when Tom looked at the clock in the mirror?A．Half past twelve B．Twenty to twelveC．Half past eleven D．Half past one3、From the story we know that when we look at a clock in a mirror, we will find A．the time is right B．it’s going slowerC．it’s going backward D．it’s going faster4、Which of the following is true?A．Tom arrived in Paris on timeB．The next bus would leave in half an hourC．After that Tom didn’t like clocks any longerD．Tom looked at the clock in the mirror only once5、Which of the following is the title(题目) of the story?A．The Mirror of the StationB．Not A Careful ManC．Missing A BusD．The Clock In The Mirror（B）Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists （气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.1. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather3. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures4. Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer5. The main（主要的）idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.A. taking pictures of the atmosphereB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. doing other work in many waysD. weather forecasting(C)Dick was a clever and hard-working student, but his parents were poor, so he had to work after class and during his holidays to get enough money for his studies.One summer he got a job in a butcher’s shop(肉店) during the daytime, and another in a hospital at night.

But one day, the sound of a violin 9 into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains.I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 10 in playing her violin.I had 11 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 12 there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building 13 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 14 . 15 we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.Autumn was nearly over.

It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood --- his coat thrown aside--- wearing a shirt , a cap, and a pair of gloves.“Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hard to be cold.”Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold.After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.“ Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.“Yeah, it’s cold out here today,” he replied.“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.”Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “Ho w in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’m not cold—working too hard to be cold.”I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile wheneverI take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter.21. When the author’s feet felt cold, her father advised her to____.A. go home alone firstB. keep walking in the snowC. draw pictures in the snowD. light a fire on the ice22. Hearing her father’s advice, the author thought her father______.A. forgettableB. warm-heartedC. crazyD. cruel23. What might the author’s husband think of her?A. ToughB. SmartC. BraveD. Foolish24. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. remember her tough and smart fatherB. show how her father cared about herC. describe memories of her childhoodD. explain why her father loved her so muchBThe other day I heard a few local musicians talking:“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”I’ve heard that you are the average of the five peopl e whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are that you will start to complain as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.25. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD. Friends are the most important in one’s success26.The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding27. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.A. improve a lot in making more friendsB. come to the right way of making friendsC. develop a better relationship with your friendsD. arrange the time with your friends properly28. The passage is mainly written for ______.A. musiciansB. managersC. negative peopleD. people wanting to succeed阅读填空从短文后所给的A—G七个选项中选出能填入空白处的五个最佳选项，选项中有两项多余选项。
