She looked very shy.I walked up to her and asked why she stood there. But she said nothing. Then a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the worst student in her grade.” I looked at the little girl. ①She didn’t seem to be the smart kind. I understood why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and let her into the classroom.“Sit here. Now you are my student and I’m your teacher,”I said.

专项训练七 节假日活动时间:8~10分钟/篇 分值:2分/小题Passage 1(2018福州)In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non­working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.( )1. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________.A. December 25thB.

But thetomatoes are being thrown, not eaten. The festival takesplace during the last Wednesday in August. Trucks(卡车) carrytomatoes into the square. People rush to the tomatoes andthrow them into the crowd.Rolling cheese — EnglandThis festival is celebrated on the last Monday in May. Ittakes place on Cooper's Hill. A large wheel of cheese(奶酪)is rolled down Cooper's Hill. The festival is actually a racewhere people run down the hill after the rolling cheese. Thefirst person to cross the finish line at the bottom of thehill wins the cheese.Burning man — The United StatesThe Burning Man Festival lasts a week, it is from the Mondaybefore Labor Day to Labor Day(which falls on the first Mondayin September in America). The festival takes place in theBlack Rock Desert. The best part of the festival is theburning of a large sculpture of a man.Pouring water — ThailandThe Songkran Festival is the celebration of the New Year inThailand.

At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!Tony( )1.

Most of the survey­takers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.Alexis said, “At school, I'm really tired, so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities.”Amy is in high school. After school, she sometimes works in a cafe. She told us, “It's a chance to relax after a hard school year—sleep more, and see my friends more.”We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored. About half (52%) of the survey­takers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax. And that is exactly how it should be.But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance (平衡) between being busy and relaxing. Many thought that they would be too bored.How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are. Survey­takers in their early teens were more likely (可能的) to be bored.

And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine(蒸汽机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring(钟表的主发条)? He soon found he could make it with whalebone(鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto(座右铭) was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't lose heart, and don't ask someone for help before helping yourselves.

Out of the whole number he in a short time chose one, and sent all the other boys away.“I should like to know,” said a friend,“on what ground you chose that boy. He didn't even have a recommendation(推荐信) with him.”“You are mistaken,” said the gentleman,“he had a great many:—“He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him; showing that he was orderly(井然有序的).“He gave his seat to the disabled old man; showing that he was ________.“He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully(恭敬地); showing that he was polite.“He lifted up the book which I had purposely(故意地)laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful.“And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside; showing that he was modest(谦逊的).“When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean; instead of having some untidy personal habits.“Don't you call these things letters of recommendation?

She wrote about her dream to become an airline pilot.Her paper came back with an “F” on it. The teacher told her this was a “fairy tale(童话),” and it wasn't a job for a woman.Jean experienced years of hurt and fear because of this discouragement(气馁) until she met her English teacher Mrs. Dorothy Slaton in senior high school.Mrs. Slaton said to Jean's class, “You have the abilities and talents. If you don't go after(追求) your dreams after you leave school, no one will do it for you.”Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm(热情), and with excitement, she told Mrs. Slaton all about her old dreams. The teacher said, “Then do it!”So Jean did. It took her 10 years of hard work. But in 1978, she became one of the first three women pilot trainers ever accepted by United Airlines(航空公司) and one of only 50 women airline pilot in the country at the time.

Make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change, like being very thin, but many I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, “Now you know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of great help to you. Don't shut your ears.

I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me.But actually, they weren't.When I arrived at my new class, I couldn't wait to show everyone what I could do.

I believed I was a failure.Over the next two years, I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.I haven't realized until recently that I really don't have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something.

2018年中考英语专题复习分类集训(真题版):题型三 阅读理解 专项训练十一 风俗文化

专项训练十一风俗文化时间:8~10分钟/篇分值:2分/小题Passage 1(2016邵阳)China is a large country. The population is over 1.3 billion. It has a special culture with a very long history.Chinese food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The main difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market.Chinese calendar is different from the one used in western countries. New Year's Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of ringing out the old and ringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year's Day sweeps away all the old year's bad luck.The Chinese zodiac(生肖), known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve­year cycle. Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2016 is the year of the monkey.Chinese is a complex(复杂的)language. Chinese writing developed almost 4,000 years ago and may even be older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character stands for a word and also a meaning. Besides Putonghua, Chinese people speak six other forms of the language, and there are many kinds of dialects.( )1. What's the population of China?A. Almost 4,000.B. More than 1.3 billion.C. 12 million.( )2. The underlined “dialects” probably means “________” inChinese.A. 交际B. 对话C. 方言( )3. According to the passage, what's one of the main foods in China?A. Tea.B. Rice.C. Meat.( )4. The year that begins in 2016 isn't the year of the monkey, is it?A. Yes, it is.B. No, it isn't.C. I don't know.( )5. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Different foods have special meanings in Chinese culture.B. Chinese is a popular language.C. Chinese culture.Passage 2(2016黄石)Are you an eating­lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China?It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in manywestern countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.( )1. A Bite of China is ________.A. a magazineB. a newspaperC. a filmD. a TV program( )2. According to the passage, in traditional Chinese culture, people will eat ________ on their birthdays.A. eggsB. noodlesC. fishD. cakes( )3. Fish has a special meaning in Chinese culture mainly because ________.A. it is served last at a partyB. it is pointed to the valued guestC. it sounds like the word yu in ChineseD. it is so delicious that all Chinese people like it( )4. ________ in the Dragon Boat Festival make(s) us think of Qu Yuan.A. ZongziB. MeatC. PeanutsD. Dumplings( )5. The article mainly talks about ________.A. Chinese foodB. Chinese historyC. Chinese festivalsD. Chinese languagePassage 3(2016河北)In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts(主人)and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest­host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的)in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non­smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can'tsmoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt_to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China, y ou probably won't need to change the guest­host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.( )1. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the________ in the world.A. bestB. worstC. most naturalD. most different( )2. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often________.A. buys some fruitB. feels like a godC. wants some giftsD. takes a cup of tea( )3. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?A. It's OK if you smoke here.B. Let's smoke together.C. Sorry, you can't smoke here.D. Smoking is a bad habit.( )4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to”in the passage?A. think back toB. get used toC. look forward toD. keep close to( )5. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.B. Hosts must do things in the guests' way.C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.D. People should understand cultural differences.专项训练十一风俗文化Passage 1 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。

专项训练七节假日活动时间:8~10分钟/篇分值:2分/小题Passage 1(2018福州)In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non­working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.( )1. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________.A. December 25thB.

The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT ________.A. offering gifts to the poorB. supporting families in needC. spending time with familyD. giving money to aid Food Banks( )5. The purpose of the passage is ________.A. to praise the kindness of priestsB. to introduce the origins of Boxing DayC. to call on people to help the poorD. to compare Boxing Day with Christmas DayPassage 2(2018泰州)Throwing tomatoes — Spain(西班牙)Spain takes “tomatoes fights” to a whole new level.

At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especiallywine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!Tony( )1.

2018年中考英语真题分类汇编题型3阅读理解专项训练十一风俗文化含解析

专项训练十一风俗文化时间:8~10分钟/篇分值:2分/小题Passage 1(2018邵阳)China is a large country. The population is over 1.3 billion. It has a special culture with a very long history.Chinese food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The main difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market.Chinese calendar is different from the one used in western countries. New Year's Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of ringing out the old and ringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year's Day sweeps away all the old year's bad luck.The Chinese zodiac(生肖), known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve­year cycle. Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2018 is the year of the monkey.Chinese is a complex(复杂的)language. Chinese writing developed almost 4,000 years ago and may even be older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character stands for a word and also a meaning. Besides Putonghua, Chinese people speak six other forms of the language, and there are many kinds of dialects.( )1. What's the population of China?A. Almost 4,000.B. More than 1.3 billion.C. 12 million.( )2. The underlined “dialects” probably means “________” inChinese.A. 交际B. 对话C. 方言( )3. According to the passage, what's one of the main foods in China?A. Tea.B. Rice.C. Meat.( )4. The year that begins in 2018 isn't the year of the monkey, is it?A. Yes, it is.B. No, it isn't.C. I don't know.( )5. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Different foods have special meanings in Chinese culture.B. Chinese is a popular language.C. Chinese culture.Passage 2(2018黄石)Are you an eating­lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program ABiteofChina? It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a partof Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.( )1. ABiteofChina is ________.A. a magazineB. a newspaperC. a filmD. a TV program( )2. According to the passage, in traditional Chinese culture, people will eat ________ on their birthdays.A. eggsB. noodlesC. fishD. cakes( )3. Fish has a special meaning in Chinese culture mainly because ________.A. it is served last at a partyB. it is pointed to the valued guestC. it sounds like the word yu in ChineseD. it is so delicious that all Chinese people like it( )4. ________ in the Dragon Boat Festival make(s) us think of Qu Yuan.A. ZongziB. MeatC. PeanutsD. Dumplings( )5. The article mainly talks about ________.A. Chinese foodB. Chinese historyC. Chinese festivalsD. Chinese languagePassage 3(2018河北)In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts(主人)and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest­host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的)in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non­smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you couldask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt_to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China, y ou probably won't need to change the guest­host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.( )1. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the________ in the world.A. bestB. worstC. most naturalD. most different( )2. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often________.A. buys some fruitB. feels like a godC. wants some giftsD. takes a cup of tea( )3. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?A. It's OK if you smoke here.B. Let's smoke together.C. Sorry, you can't smoke here.D. Smoking is a bad habit.( )4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?A. think back toB. get used toC. look forward toD. keep close to( )5. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.B. Hosts must do things in the guests' way.C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.D. People should understand cultural differences.专项训练十一风俗文化Passage 1 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。
