九年级期末复习阅读理解训练一、阅读单选Buying Is Doing?How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will robably see you spend a lot of your life consuming (消费) things. Consuming products is not necessarily bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school. You don't have to go to class. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money—no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time? What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don't come in a package. You make the experience yourself. For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience. The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly,when you have a conversation with a friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a packaged experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution(变革) against consumerism. How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.1.If consuming products takes too much time, we should_______.A.spend less money B.think about it carefullyC.organize our things2.According to the passage, the writer believes that_________.A.we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB.buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC.the environment seldom influences our shopping choices3.The word “those kinds of experiences” in the last sentence means________.A.consuming experiencesB.Non-consuming experiencesC.Experiences that bring us great satisfaction4.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A.To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B.To encourage people to have more active experiences.C.To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior.In a village in Uganda, a woman named Fatima ran a small store. She sold food and other useful items. However, she had trouble making enough money to keep the shelves stocked (储存的). To stay in business, Fatima got a microfinance loan—a small total of money from a person in another country. It was just enough for her to buy a cell phone. She let villagers make calls using her phone and charged them some money for each call. This helped her make enough money to keep her shelves stocked with items. Fatima then used the money to send her children to school and improved their lives, as well as her own.Microfinance is the practice of giving small loans to people in need. Most microfinance loans are for less than two hundred dollars. The loans are used to start or enlarge a small business, such as catching fish, raising chickens or selling produce. Lenders are willing to make these loans because most of the people who receive them are very likely (可能的)to repay the loans.Microfinance loans are important for several reasons. The businesses that these loans support often provide needed services or goods to their communities. Also, many of the people who receive microfinance loans cannot get money any other way. Although they have to pay a rate (比率)of interest on the money they borrow, the rate is lower than if they borrowed from a local moneylender.It doesn’t seem like such a small total of money could make a big difference, but microfinance loans have been shown to help improve some people's lives and put new life into the communities like Fatima's.5.Why did Fatima get a microfinance loan?A.To manage her small store.B.To buy a cell phone for her neighborC.To help the villagers make money.D.To afford her children's education.6.What can we learn about microfinance?A.It supports poor people for free.B.It offers big loans to people in need.C.It helps small businesses a lot.D.It provides needed goods for local people.7.What does the underlined word " interest " in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese?A.盈利B.红利C.利润D.利息8.From the text, we can infer (推断出)that __________________.A.Fatima is the richest woman in her communityB.Few people in Fatima's village have cell phonesC.Microfinance will provide money for big companiesD.Most borrowers can hardly repay the loans9.What would be the best title for the text?A.A Little Can Go a Long WayB.Small Businesses Make a Big DifferenceC.A Cell Phone Brings a Better LifeD.Microfinance Loans Build a New WorldMore and more children have to stay at home alone today. It is important for them to know how to keep themselves safe when they are at home alone. If you are one of them, you should remember the following rules:Arrive your homeWhen you come home, you should check the doors and windows to see if they are broken.★If everything is OK, go inside and lock the door quickly. Remember: never leave your key in the lock and keep the door always closed.★If something seems strange, or someone may be in the house, you should go to your neighbor’s house and call the police and your parents.Answer the doorIn some families, the rule is not to answer the door, but I think ignoring(忽视)the doorbell is not a good idea because sometimes bad people ring doorbells to see if anyone’s at home.★If someone knocks at the door, you should identify the visitor before you open the door. Are they your parents’ friends or relatives? Or are they strangers who you never know?★You can ask, “Yes, who is that?” looking through the keyhole to find out who it is and what he or she wants. If you don’t know the person very well, don’t open the door or give out any information about your family.★If you know the person or if the person says your parents asked him or her to stop by, call your parents and check.★If the person at the door has come to deliver a package or make a repair and you were not told to expect it, do not let him or her in. If you are expecting a delivery or repair person, ask him or her to slip an ID card under the door.★If the visitor wants to speak to your parents , you should say “Mum’s having a shower ”or “Dad’s having a sleep” and offer to take a message.10.The passage is for_________.A.parents B.children C.the old D.the sick11.What should you do first when you come home?A.Knock the door quickly.B.Go to the neighbor’s house.C.Check the doors and windows.D.Call your family and tell them you are at home.12.The underlined word “ identify ” probably means_______.A.ask where the visitors come from B.see whether you know the visitorC.find out how old the visitor is D.make sure the visitor knows you13.What is the purpose of the last rule in the passage?A.Not to let the visitor see your parents.B.Not to let your parents know someone is at the door.C.Not to trouble your parents when are busy.D.Not to let the visitor know you are at home alone.Nowadays,phone calls and messages help us make regular contact(联系) with others.It means that we seldom write letters now.But a TV show,Letters Alive(《见字如面》),is bringing back this old habit.Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses,but there are not funny jokes or different competitions.Instead,it's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.The letters were written by people from different times in history.For example,in one episode(集),they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941.The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.“Every letter opens another world for us,” according to Guan Zhengwen,the director of the TV show.“It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.” Since its first episode on Dec.5,Letters Alive has been widely praised.Many audiences said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.Besides Letters Alive,some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences.They include the Chinese Poetry Competition,a traditional Chinese poetry competition and Readers,a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.They suggest that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.14.Letters Alive,a TV show,invites famous people to ________.A.tell audiences jokesB.read and share lettersC.walk up to a microphone to singD.enter different competitions15.According to the passage,which sentence is RIGHT?A.We can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers by reading letters.B.Xiao Hong missed her brother but had no hope for his future.C.Letters Alive is not popular enough to attract audiences.D.Chinese Poetry Conference invites people to read poems and articles.16.How many cultural TV shows are mentioned in this passage?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.17.Chinese audiences ________ these cultural TV shows.A.like B.dislikeC.show no interest in D.doubt about18.What is the best title for the passage?A.Phones Have Taken the Place of LettersB.Welcome to Cultural TV ShowsC.Letters Encourage Us to CommunicateD.Cultural TV Shows Become Popular AgainMotivated (有内驱力的)or Overachieving?Everyone has the occasional classmate who hands in his work ahead of time with really beautiful handwriting. Some teachers may cheerfully get the homework by saying "Of course you did it early.I'm sure you've done a good job!" Some teachers may feel annoyed because "The deadline is not until next Friday." Behind this student's back are tons of whispers from his classmates,"Ugh, he is such an overachiever and it's so annoying ..."If you ask the same student to explain his behavior, he probably says that he is simply "motivated". Such students refuse to call themselves overachievers but prefer "motivated" instead. They want to shy away from the unpleasant term "overachiever" but choose to embrace the word"motivated" .Why is the term "overachiever" used as an insult (侮辱)? Do we not all work hard to achieve our goals? Why does the "motivated" student not proudly call himself an "overachiever" ?In my personal experience, being called an overachiever in front of my classmates is not pleasant at all. The word is often connected with an unkind smile or sometimes a hint ofjealousy (嫉妒)."Overachiever" carries the implied (暗指的) sense which "over" lends it - you have done too much and you have gone too far. Anyway, it is beyond the proper degree and just annoying to those students who refuse to put in the effort themselves and get unhappy with you for doing so.A student would rather think of himself as an excellent student and it is motivation that drives him to do his best. What is the implied meaning of "motivated" ? Connected with positive words like willpower, spirit and determination, the "motivated" student would appear to be competing in an event of the brain Olympics.Although there are differences in their implications, the student who calls himself "motivated" could actually be a secret overachiever, going over the top for all his work; while the "overachiever" is nothing more than a motivated student, driven by the simple desire to do well and willing to put in time and effort. In fact, the choice lies within the student: to overachieve or not to overachieve; to find the motivation to do well and be driven by it, or to sit back and blame others for overachieving to hide his inability to achieve.19.According to the passage, overachieversA.are popular with their classmates B.hand in homework ahead of timeC.are much loved by their teachers D.look down on others for being slow20.The word "embrace" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_ ".A.understand B.explain C.doubt D.accept21.What can we learn from the passage?A.Teachers expect students to benefit from their extra work.B.Students compete with each other to become overachievers.C.Classmates may laugh at overachievers to hide their inability to achieve.D.The writer has some pleasant experiences of being called an overachiever.22.The writer probably agrees tahatA.students shouldn't be encouraged to be overachieversB.students without motivation will become overachieversC.motivated students make better progress than overachieversD.motivated students have something in common with overachieversCould the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.23.The number of 134,000 in Paragraph 2 is the number of _______ in poor rural areas.A.the key schools B.the poor studentsC.the key colleges and universities D.the primary and junior high schools24.The underlined word “benefited” in Paragraph 2 means _______ in Chinese.A.逃离B.获益C.受害D.赚钱25.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?(①=Para.(自然段) 1②=Para. 2③=Para. 3④=Para. 4⑤=Para. 5)A.①②;③④;⑤B.①;②③;④⑤C.①;②③④;⑤D.①②;③;④⑤26.After reading the passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.A.Liu Xi, a student from Chongqing, can go to any high school if she wants toB.Li Mei, a student from a western rural school, can get a bag of milk every dayC.Hu Jia, a 12-year-old rural student, will more easily receive high school educationD.Han Lei, a student from Beijing, will have few chances to go to key universitiesAccording to a study by some organizations, more than half of the things in the world are made in China. And these things are all about people's everyday life.In order to truly understand why so many things are made in China, you have to understand the history. China is one of the greatest countries with rich civilization (文明) on the earth for thousands of years. Chinese people have made a lot of things very smartly. Usually it would take Westerners and other foreigners 100 more years to find out how to make them. They have clever minds and work hard, so you can see why so many things are made in China.If you study Goldman Sach’s report on the future, you will see that China will take charge of (控制)a quarter of the world's GDP in the near future. Although some big companies are moving to other countries from China, China is making more products with fine quality, as well as Japan, the USA and Europe. In 20 years or so, people will not look for a Ferrari, but a Chinese car that no one has heard of yet.China isn't just making products. It's helping people in the world live better.27.According to the study, of the things in the world are made in China.A.about 15%B.less than 25%C.over 50%D.over 75%28.What does the underlined word “They” refer to?A.Westerners.B.The Chinese.C.Other foreigners.D.The Japanese.29.The underlined word “quality” means “ ” in Chinese.A.质量B.名声C.影响D.背景30.What makes China a great country in the world for thousands of years?A.Its large area.B.Its large population.C.Its fine products.D.Its rich civilization.31.What can we learn from the third paragraph?A.China has taken charge of a quarter of the world's GDP.B.China is producing more products with fine quality.C.More and more big companies are moving to China.D.Ferrari cars will be found everywhere in China in the future.The Plain of Jars(石缸平原)is a great man­made wonder(奇观)in Laos,a country in southeast Asia.It is made up of thousands of stone jars.More than 90 jar sites have been found there.Each site has from 1 to 400 stone jars.The jars come in different sizes from 1 to 3 meters tall.Scientists have long been perplexed by their original(最初的)use.Not long ago,scientists found ancient things and burial practices at the Plain of Jars.“This will be the first major effort since the 1930s to try to understand the purpose of the jars and who created them.”Dougald O'Reilly from the Australian National University said.“The jars are empty now,but it is possible that they were once used to hold bodies.”Only a few simple objects,such as a handful of glass beads(玻璃珠),have been found at the burial sites.And scientists think they are from about 500 or 600 BC to 550 AD.An Australia­Laos research team spent a month collecting data(资料)at the site.O'Reilly said,“Though the stone jars remain a mystery,I hope a better understanding of the Plain of Jars will help have it listed as a World Heritage site(世界遗产保护区).”32.The Plain of Jars is in ________.A.Asia B.Europe C.America D.Australia33.What do we know about the jars?A.They are of the same size.B.They were used for holding water.C.They are all made of stones.D.All the sites have the same number of jars.34.The underlined word “perplexed ”means “ ________ ” in Chinese.

九年级英语英语初中英语阅读理解阅读训练及解析及答案一、英语阅读理解阅读1.阅读理解I'm sure most people like music. Music can not only bring us wonderful enjoyment, but also bring us happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students' grades.According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate (集中注意)better if allowed to play with a small object.The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down.

Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating.

He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples(样本)," he explained.Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty."Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked. "I didn't. You did, "he said, waiting for a while before continuing." You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude(态度) test today.""What do you mean an attitude test?" we wanted to know."It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained(抱怨) about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks." We did. They were full. "I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative(负面的) thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack.

Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."(1)The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping(2)What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.(3)Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.(4)What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start(5)Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage?(P=Paragraph)A.B.C.D.7.阅读理解Bradford City MattersWelcome to the winter edition(版) of City Matters."Don't Drop It; Stop It!"Put rubbish in your wheelie bin(有轮大垃圾筒).You must put your rubbish in your wheelie bin to keep your environment clean.

We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices (设备)lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.(1)From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer .A. is a computer engineerB. works in a caféC. uses technology a lotD. likes modern music(2)The underlined word" Recruited" in Paragraph 4 means" ".A. OrderedB. VisitedC. WantedD. Warned (3)In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time with technology.A. working on computer programsB. keeping the Internet safeC. inventing electronic productsD. helping people in need(4)What can be the best title for the passage?A. Online VolunteeringB. Internet OrganizationsC. Website DesignD. Online Translation9.阅读理解Public holidays in the United StatesDates Official Names RemarksJanuary 1New Year'sDay It celebrates the beginning of the year.

My mother was one of those people.My father died when I was one year-old. While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Bach night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life," Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again. Every might my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I walked on my own to school!When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job. Then I left school to support the two of us. At that moment I decided never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was very angry, that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for an ordinary American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra money for children. Many people did not believe me at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter. As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties. But with my mom's words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed. Fifteen years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world- Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $I billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.(1)What Kemmons's mom often told him during his childhood was .A. boringB. tiringC. encouragingD. interesting(2)What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?A. His mom's support.B. His wife's suggestion.C. The poor condition of his family.D. His terrible experience in the hotel.(3)Which of the following best describes Kemmons's mother?A. Serious and hard- working.B. Loving and supportive.C. Strict and humorous.D. Careful and strong-willed.(4)What led to Kemmons's success according to the passage? Why?(请用约40词回答). 11.阅读理解Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!(1)According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages(2)How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.(3)The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达(4)If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about(5)The best title for the passage is ___________.A. How to bridge the generation gapB. How to deal with family problemsC. How to be good parentsD. How to be a good child12.阅读理解The word, "photography", was first used in 1839. It comes from the Greek words that mean "to write with light". But photography could only give people static pictures. So scientists were trying hard to find ways to make pictures that can move. They made lots of experiments, but failed again and again. It was Eadweard Muybridge who finally succeeded. He was the first photographer to try this successfully. But how did he make it? It was an interesting story.Back in 1872, people didn't know exactly(确切地)whether all four of a horse's hooves (蹄)left the ground at the same time when it was running. A gentleman called Leland Stanford made a bet with his friend about it. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, or it would fall over. But Stanford didn't think so.At that time, it was hard to know who could win the bet, because a horse's legs move so fast that it is impossible to tell just by looking. So they needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. Then Stanford offered $ 25,000 to the famous photographer, Muybridge, to help find the answer. In the beginning, Muybridge failed to get clear images, but he didn't give up. He continued to improve his cameras. In 1878, after many experiments, he managed to get a sequence(连续) of 12 photos. One of them clearly showed that all four of the horse's hooves were off the ground at the same time. And when the photos moved fast, people could see a horse running.Though Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first movie in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison's invention.(1)The underlined word "static" in Paragraph 1 most probably means .A. prettyB. darkC. movingD. still(2)What did Leland Stanford make a bet with his friend about?A. Whose horse ran faster.B. Whether a horse would fall over while running.C. Whether it was possible for scientists to make moving pictures.D. Whether a horse's hooves all left the ground at the same time while running.(3)Muybridge finally found the exact answer to the bet in .A. 1839B. 1872C. 1878D. 1889(4)The passage mainly tells us .A. that Thomas Edison created the first movieB. that Eadweard Muybridge created the first static picturesC. how photography helped people know more about animalsD. how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of motion(移动) successfully13.阅读理解Bill: My favourite book is The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, the Witch(女巫)and the Wardrobe(魔衣柜) by C.S, Lewis. It's about four children who find a magical(神奇的)land inside a wardrobe. A witch makes the land winter forever, The children help save the magical land from the witch with the help of Aslan, a great talking lion. The children become。

(四)哲理故事Ⅰ.完形填空My friend Richard went far to work, so he asked me to take care of his yard in the mountains. He worked hard and often kept the yard 1 without any grass. But I was too lazy to sweep the fallen leaves, and I 2 pluck(拔) grass, allowing it to grow rapidly. In the early 3 , in March, the leaves were green and soft.A month later, when the leaves spread quickly, I discovered they were like wild orchids(兰花) in the forest.As the summer came, the “grass” really flowered. The flowers looked like those forest orchids, 4 they were yellow, unlike those purple or brown red forest orchids. I picked one flower, then went to find a friend who studied 5 . As soon as my friend saw it he asked me 6 I picked it. “It’s amazing!” He 7 explained, “This kind of orchid is hard to find. Now it is worth at least 10,000 dollars each.”I told the good news to Richard. He was 8 . After a while he said gently, he saw the orchid in the yard every year, but he thought it was common grass, so he always plucked it. He said, “If I could 9 , it would flower a few years before.”Yes, all of us might miss some rare(稀有的) orchids in our own lives. We don’t give them the time to flower to prove their value.Give the “grass” time to flower and give everybody a 10 to prove his value. Don’t pluck a leave of any “grass” or negate(否定) a person rudely and how many “rare orchids” we will get in our lives!( )1.A.wild B.clean C.dry D.dirty( )2.A.sometimes B.often C.never D.always( )3.A.spring B.summer C.autumn D.winter( )4.A.so B.but C.then D.or( )5.A.colors B.rivers C.seasons D.plants( )6.A.that B.why C.where D.who( )7.A.proudly B.successfully C.carelessly D.excitedly( )8.A.worried B.surprised C.scared D.relaxed ( )9.A.wait B.get C.take D.make( )10.A.tree B.yard C.flower D.chanceⅡ.阅读理解An old woman had two large pots(罐), one on each end of a pole(扁担). I always see her carrying the pole with the pots across her neck.One of the pots had a crack(裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always carried a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. One day, I asked the old woman,“Why don’t you get another pot? The cracked one always makes water drop all the way back to your house.”The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on one side of the road, but not on the other side? That’s because I have always known about the crack, so I planted flower seeds(种子) on the side of the road. And every day while I walk back, I can water them.”“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to make my house more beautiful. Without the cracked pot, I would not have this beauty.”Each of us has our own cracks. But It’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful. So, accept these imperfections(不完美) and try to make good use of them.( )11.The old woman used to carry water.A.two perfect potsB.one large and one small potC.two cracked potsD.one good and one cracked pot( )12.How many pots of water were left when the old woman arrived home?A.A half pot.B.One pot.C.One and a half pots.D.Two pots.( )13.The old woman planted seeds on the side of the road.A.flowerB.appleC.vegetableD.rice( )14.The story wants to tell us that .A.we mustn’t laugh at othersB.we should try to be perfect in our lifeC.an imperfection can make the life meaningfulD.we shouldn’t use a cracked pot to carry waterⅢ.任务型阅读阅读下面短文,按要求完成15~19题。

读写训练:第四周阅读理解CFPSeveral months ago, 8-year-old Alex McKelvey set out to do some nice things for people she didn’t even know.For the past year, since her grandmother Linda died, the Washington girl and her family have performed hundreds of acts of kindness.“This is what her life was about, giving to others,” Alex said. She recently reached a goal that helped her family and hundreds of people who’ve received their special gifts. Alex was up before dawn on Sunday volunteering in a local town.

话题阅读AI used to be very close to my father when I was a child. He gave me almost everything I wanted. Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort. He was everything to me.Time flies like a bird. As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father. The gap between us began to grow. He had done so much for me but I always take it for granted.Last time our school gave us two days off, and daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike. I was tired and fell asleep on his back. Later my mother said he was very happy because is had been a long tome since we got close last. Suddenly I felt a little shamed. I realized that I had paid no attention to him a lot during the last few years.The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended that I couldn’t hear him. At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream.” I got so angry with him for interrupting my sleep that I shouted, “Leave me alone.”As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor. Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “Who else treats you as well as he does?”I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. Finally I rushed with tear all over my face. I went to the poolwhere I used to go fishing with daddy. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy’s motorbike. He was looking for me anxiously, but he didn’t notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush.I didn’t return home until 10 a.m. The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me.

If so, you are not alone. We all have things we want to do or achieve. These are part of our “bucket lists”. A bucket is a list of things that someone wants to experience in his or her lifetimes. These things can be big or small. Have you ever thought about what is on your bucket list?Lindsay, 15, created her bucket list when she was 14. She has given her list serious thought. “I’ve always wanted to travel into space,” she says. “I don’t really want to be an astronaut. But I do want to go to space as a tourist. I want to see the Earth from above.” Other things on her list include being on TV, seeing her favorite band in concert, learning how to speak Portuguese, and living in a foreign country. “I’ve always wanted to live in Brazil. As part of my bucket list, I want to attend Carnival in the capital of Brazil,” she says.Jose, 16, recently created a list of things he wants to achieve. It changes sometimes he adds and takes away things because he wants to keep the number of the things at seven. One thing has stayed at number one, though: he wants to visit a movie set. He would like to see the Harry Potter of The Hobbit movie sets. Other things on the list include being on TV, meeting his favorite sports star, living in a foreign country, skateboarding down a mountain, attending the World Cup, and backpacking across Europe. He would like to spend two months visiting Eastern Europe with his best friend Adam. “Maybe after I graduate from college,” says Jose.Carrie, 14, also has a bucket list. She first created it when she was 12. She would like to livein a foreign country for at least two years. She also wants to learn as many foreign languages as possible. But the number one thing on her list is to see her favorite band in concert. She also wants to go on a trip and to visit a movie set. Her favorite movies are the Hunger Games and Star Wars. Carrie is confident she will do most or all of the things on her bucket list. “I’m only 14,” she says, “I have my whole life ahead of me!”8. What is No.1 at Lindsay’s bucket list?A.

Many sports players have them, too. In the US, tattoos are very popular. Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60 percent of customers in US tattoo parlors are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet. Tattoos were used for many different reasons. In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were “beautiful”. But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative and put on criminals and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious.In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. Often the tattoos were of animals or natural features like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a person’s history, their island or their job.So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos? And can you call tattoos a fashion? Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos becausethey are a connection to the traditional world. But tattoos aren’t a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can’t put them on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent and for life.12. When were tattoos brought to Europe?A. 5,000 years ago.B. 60 years ago.C. Until recently.D. In the 16th and 17th century.【答案】D13. What does the underlined word “parlors” mean?A. School.B. Stores.C. Hospitals.D. Theaters.【答案】B14. What’s the writer’s opinion about tattoos?A. Tattoos are religious in modern societies.B. Tattoos connect tradition with fashion.C. Tattoos are a fashion among famous people.D. Tattoos show information about a person’s hobby.【答案】B15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Tattoos' History.B. Tattoos in Polynesia.C. Tattoos on a Human in Ice.D. Tattoos in Fashion and for Life.【答案】D。

2021年河南中考英语(牛津译林版)总复习课时训练:九年级上 Unit 4

九年级上Unit 4一、阅读理解AThere are countless myths to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time. But now there is a plan for a man-made moon. It will give us far more light than the natural moon.China is preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky above Chengdu by 2020. It will reflect sunlight back onto the Earth. If it succeeds, three more such objects will be sent out in 2022, according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist. Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight, but he predicted that the man-made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one. "This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the Earth. That will make it a lot closer to us than the Moon, which is over 380,000 kilometers away," Wu added.If the plan works, the man-made moon will save a lot of power. Scientists predict that Chengdu could save around 1.2 billion yuan on electricity every year if a new moon lights up 50 square kilometers of the city. And in 2022, four man-made moons can take turns to work as they will not always be in the best position relative to the Sun. Together, they can give light to an area of up to 6,400 square kilometers on the Earth for 24 hours. That means its brightness will be seen in most areas in China, reducing the need for streetlights.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

初中英语九年级中考阅读训练C篇(15篇)及答案

初中英语九年级中考阅读训练C篇(15篇)及答案

C1Matt Mason has seen the future—and it’s fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor cleaning system(系统)that’s built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum(吸尘器). Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop(用拖把擦)it up. ―This may trouble you,‖ says Kara, an expert in Mason’s company. ―But you can program it to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for you.‖When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. ―More than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,‖ he says. ―A ne w system will be built in the house which can recycle energy (能量)lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm.‖―The fridge will be the center of the home,‖ says Daniel Lee, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen (触摸屏幕)where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. ―Y our fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,‖ says Lee.Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cookmeals on counters(工作台)of the same height. ―The height was decided over50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,‖ says Jane Langmuir,an expert of cooking machines. ―But times have changed. We have made a newcounter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want.‖ At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT’s Counter lab has made the Dishmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics.57. How many inventions are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.58. In future, if you want to clean your house, you will ________.A. have a recycling system built in the wallB. get up early to start your cleaning systemC. use your fridge to give orders to a cleanerD. leave the work to a kind of cleaning machine59. What is future kitchen work like?A. Terrific and relaxing.B. Easy and interesting.C. Enjoyable and exciting.D. Funny and amazing.60. From the passage, we know ________.A. people will have more and more time enjoying themselvesB. future kitchens can provide all the energy for our life every dayC. the fridge can be found in the center of a future houseD. people must be expert at computers to use these inventions57. C 58. D 59. B 60. AC2Each year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ben knows that this day honors an important man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King. Ben’s mom (0) has a close friend, Amy (1). Amy’s uncle, Mark (2), once met and spoke to John Carter (3), the son of President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way, Ben is only ―five people away‖ from Martin Luther King Jr.The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom, but he hasn’t met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues, Amy’s uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 100 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 = 31.25 × 109. This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world.Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world.8. Ben is two degrees away from ________.A. Jimmy CarterB. John CarterC. AmyD. Mark9. What is the meaning of ―degrees of separation‖ in Paragraph 2?A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people.C. The steps of knowing strangers.D. The separation between strangers.10. What is the small-world theory mainly about?A. How far Ben is away from Dr. King.B. How many people one can get to know.C. How people are connected in the world.D. How the degrees of separation are set up.11. We can learn from the article that ________.A. the small-world theory worksB. more research is needed to prove the theoryC. six degrees are needed to know the strangersD. the writer’s purpose is to help people find out their places8. D 9. A10. C 11. BC3Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is the language of science. Y ou should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together.

CC4What do you do if you’re stranded (处于困境的)on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Y our best chance of Body signals(信号).Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means ―yes‖. When you point downwards and swingyour arm from side to side, it means ―no‖. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯曲)your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it’s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread. .If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIt’s a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can’t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F―I need food and water‖.II―I need medicine‖.I ―I am badly hurt‖.X―I am unable to move from here.‖Pilots’ repliesIf the pilot lowers the plane’s wings from side to side, this means ―message received and understood‖(At night, the pilot flashes the plane’s green lights.)If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle , this means ―message received but not understood‖.(At night, the pilot flashes the plane’s red lights.)However, there is no signal which means ―message not received‖. Why not?54. Which picture means ―it’s not safe to land‖?55. What can we learn from the passage?A. Swinging your arm from side to side means ―yes‖.B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can’t be seen.C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol ―II‖.D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.56. What is the passage mainly about?A. The explanation of building signals on an island.B. The importance of building signals on an island.C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.54. D 55. C 56. CC5Recent research from the Pew Internet Project suggests that 90% ofAmericans aged from 12 to 17 use the Internet, and 51% of those teensuse social networks. However, there are many possible problems withsocial networking sites and the teenagers who use them.Apart from the social advantages, social networking sites can beused to record school research, develop artistic talents and experiment with other forms of subject creation. They provide a way to communicate with others who share the same interests and to get helpful advice on ongoing projects.Along with these advantages come some dangers. For example, most social networking sites are open to all, especially MySpace, which is the most popular social network among teens in America. It means that they could be put in unpleasant and frightening situations.A greater danger is that teens may become objects of the people with secret purposes. The secrecy of some social networking sites makes it easy for dangerous people to find young teens and invite them into dangerous conversations. It's easy for them to pretend as teens and draw children into dangerousreal-world communication as well. Then further hurt might be on its way.Another danger is identity stealing, which can happen when teens share too much information about their names, dates of birth and locations.Therefore, it's very important to make sure teens are safe when they use social networks.Many of the same rules that work for online chat work for these sites:※Don't use your real name.※Don't give out personal information to people you don't know. A last name and a town are enoughfor a bad guy to find where you are.※Don't believe that people are who they say to be.※Immediately end any communication that makes you uncomfortable mid report it to a parent.Only if you are sure of your safety, can you enjoy the fun brought by social networking. Besides, trying to deal with all problems on your own can lead to terrible results. Remember, asking your parents or school officials for help doesn't mean you are unable to do anything but wiser than many others.55. How many dangers of using social networks are mentioned in the passage?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.56. The writer takes MySpace as an example to show that ________.A. students could be put into unreal situations on the InternetB. teenagers are facing unknown dangers on the social networksC. Internet provides more social websites to American teenagersD. social networks are very popular among teenagers in America57. We can infer from the passage that________.A. the dangers are similar when chatting online and surfing social networksB. more than half American teenagers aged from 12 to 17 use social networksC. teens who ask for help are wiser when meeting problems on social networksD. there are more disadvantages than advantages for teens to use social networks55. B 56. B 57. AC6It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.Being on the boat, we found there was something meters away. When moving nearer, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it — there aren’t any whales along the coast. The storm must have driven them there, where the sea water was so dirty that nothing could live in it.The little baby whale — actually as big as our boat — was stuck and could not move. The mother went down into the wate r and came up suddenly, making big waves. ―She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,‖ my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat to the other side and, heading theboat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the baby whale turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They made great efforts to swim towards the deep sea but failed and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them to the sea. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe — and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the deep sea.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Today, I still look back to that golden day at sea.54. The story happened on a ________ day.A. rainyB. stormyC. sunnyD. cloudy55. In Paragraph 2, the writer says ―I’m so glad I did.‖ because ________.A. he knew where he could see whalesB. he liked fishing in the sea very muchC. he experienced how the whales were savedD. he spent the whole weekend with his family56. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The mother whale was as big as the boat.B. The mother whale trusted the writer’s father.C. The mother whale asked the writer’s family for help.D. The mother whale led her baby to the sea successfully.57. By telling the story, the writer wants to tell us that ________.A. saving lives makes people happyB. it’s a good experience to go fishingC. we should live with animals happilyD. keeping sea water clean is important54. C 55. C 56. B 57. AC7Hueco Tanks State Historical Park is home to thousands of Native American paint ings and drawings. Ancient works of rock art dating back thousands of years lie within caves hidden in the hills. Thepaintings at Hueco Tanks have lasted for centuries.The walls tell stories of many people and many times for at least 10, 000 years. Several different groups of people have traveled through and lived in the area. These groups often left their mark with rock paintings and drawings. Scientists have studied these ancient works of art to learn more about the people who made them. Scientists believe that around 6, 000 BC a group now known as the Desert Archaic people occupied (占有) the area. The earliest of their drawings are simple wavy and straight lines. Later drawings show scenes of people holding spears (矛) while deer and other animals run around them.Around 1, 000 AD the Mogollon people lived in the area. The Mogollon were farmers. More than most farmers, the Mogollon valued water. For them water held great meaning. This group of farmers painted many pictures of water flowing over the land and rain with lightning.The Mescalero Apaches created some of the most recent rock art at Hueco Tanks. They stayed in the area for a short time around 1, 600 AD. Spanish explorers had arrived in North America by this time. Many of the cave paintings from this period show Spanish soldiers on horses.In 1849 the California Gold Rush was well under way. Some people traveled through hot, dry West Texas as they made their way to California’s goldfields. Hueco Tanks provided water and shade (阴凉处) for these travelers. Many of these travelers put their names and dates on the rocks at Hueco Tanks. These writings are still found on the rocks today.In May 1970 Hueco Tanks was made a state park, giving the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department control of the area.The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is using technology to help take care of the rock art. By studying these works of art, visitors and scientists can learn much about the lives of some early Native Americans.54. Which of the following may be the drawn by the Desert Archaic people?55. What can we learn from the passage?A. Desert Archaic people raised many animals.B. Mogollon people considered water very important.C. The Mescalero Apaches created most of the painting.D. People began to protect the paintings in 1970.56. The passage is an introduction of ________.A. the Native American’s lifeB. the history of Hueco TanksC. the development of the MidwestD. the rock arts at Hueco Tanks54. A55. B 56. DC8In March last year, the car I was driving was involved (卷入) in a serious accident with another car on a country road. I soon found myself at the center of a crazy activity, in the middle of doctors, policemen and passers-by. A large can opener was used to get me out of my broken car and into an ambulance(救护车).Over the next eight hours, I was taken to hospital, tested with X-ray and diagnosed (诊断) with a broken neck. Knowing that I’d been saved from death encouraged me throughout the long wait in the hospital and helped me deal with the countless visitors.Only after I was sure that the last friend had left, could I direct my energies inwards. Flying in and out of my line of vision during my hospital stay was the Red Cross lady, a gentle presence in white who,from time to time, came in to offer cups of tea. After the visitors had gone, she came up to me and checked if I was all right.I found myself telling her everything about the accident, my fears for my family as a result of my injuries (伤)—about my whole life. While I waited for an ambulance to take me to another hospital, she stood by my bed and held my hand as I off-loaded all the emotion I’d hidden from my family. She listened, quiet and patient.Even now, the knowledge that I have the ways to get in touch with her provides me with great comfort. I look forward to a day in the near future when my angel (天使) and I can meet again, in happier situation.In times of danger, faith (真诚) can encourage us. My faith in human nature called back by the kindness of a stranger has helped to ease my journey back to health.54. What happened to the writer in the accident?A. She was hit by a car.B. She was held in her car.C. She was caught by the police.D. She was thrown into a can.55. The underlined word ―off-loaded‖ means ________ in the passage.A. spoke outB. put downC. showed offD. turned over56. The most important result of the Red Cross lady’s faith was that ________.A. the writer got well more quicklyB. the writer missed her very muchC. the writer became much happierD. the writer had her own faith back54. B 55. A56. DC9The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is reported that a big part of the government’s health budge(预算)has been used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt(破产)if the patients had taken ways for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet (均衡饮食), such as not consuming too much animal fat and trying to have enough vegetables andfruits, seems to be quite important.One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular(定期的)exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better.In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one’s family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.54. What’s the meaning of the underlined word ―consuming‖ in Paragraph 2?A. A voiding.B. Producing.C. Eating.D. Cooking.55. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Health or Illness?B. Exercise or Illness?C. Prevention or Education?D. Prevention or Treatment?56. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. more health education should be givenB. dressing warmly can prevent diseasesC. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exerciseD. the government’s health budget should be increased54. C 55. D 56. AC10I will never forget the very moment that caused me to leave mygift behind because I wanted the gift that my older sister Maria had.My family was spending a week at the beach. One morning,Maria went to the beach early, but I stayed behind to finish a drawingof a seashell. After finishing the drawing, I walked to join Maria. She was a top gymnast (体操运动员). Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her.I knew that I had never been very good at sports. However, when I told my parents I wanted to take gymnastics class, they agreed with me in surprise. The next week, I went to a beginners’ class.If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan! Five minutes into the first class, it was clear that I didn’t have the gift of a gymnast. But I kept at it.During this time, drawing and painting—which had been my two favorites—all but left my mind. It must have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts. I blindly decided to be like Maria. I just would not give up.At the same time, on the advice of Ms. White, my art teacher, I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing for an art contest in our town. One night as I was having a hard time practicing, the phone rang. It was Ms. White. ―Alice, you won the contest!‖ she said loudly.―Really?‖ was all I could r eply.―Y es,‖ Ms. White said. ―They’re going to give you a prize. And that’s not all. The winner is also accepted into Wildale’s Summer Fine Arts Institute.‖ I couldn’t believe what I heard. Only a handful of young artists were accepted each summer.That ni ght I didn’t go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Maria’s gift, not mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own.54. Alice wanted to be a gymnast because ________.A. she had been good at sportsB. her sister’s show was perfectC. she hated drawing and paintingD. her parents wanted her to do so55.

阅读理解【牛刀小试】【能力选练】 A阅读理。

A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests.Then it reached a desert,“I went through so many difficulties.I should have no problem crossing the desert,”she thought.As she started,she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand.After many tries,she still failed.At this time,a deep voice said,“if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert,so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert.But the little stream answered,“that’s because a breeze can fly,but I can’t.”“That’s because you can’t give up what you are.Let yourself evaporate (蒸发)into the breeze,and it can take you across,”said thedesert.“Give up what I am now?No!No!”The little stream could not accept this idea.“The breeze can carry t he vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain.The rain will form a river again,”said the desert.“And whether you’re a river or vapor,your nature (本性) never changes.”Hearing this,the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze.It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life.60.What did the stream think when she reached a desert? BA.She thought she couldn’t cross the desert.B.She believed she could cross the desert.C.She thought she knew well about the desert.D.She started to worry about herself.61.What does the underlined word“it”refer to (指的是)?

In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth­sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态) water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life. The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light­years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿) kilometres—500 million times farther away from us than the moon.A spacecraft travelling at a one­tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g withi n about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don’t e anywhere near that one­tenth light­speed mark.Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to loo k for life on Glliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜) towards the planet and search for radiation(放射). By studying the radiation, scientists could find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly. People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Anydiscussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.()1. What did scientists find in September 2010?A. A planet with water.B. A planet similar to the earth.C. A planet without life.D. A planet near the earth.()2.
