I felt very happy,because we went to the Shanghai Waterworks Museum.First,we went to a grey building. It was built more than fifty years ago and it has a long history. We entered this building and saw a large fish bowl in the wall. However, there were only five plastic fishes in it. It means that we will no longer see real fishes if we waste water.After that,we went upstairs. There we saw a big and blue poster. At the top of the poster there was a water tap. It told us we must save water.We can't live without water just like animals can't live without air.On the left side was the NO.3121 water supply station Two women were washing the clothes.In the water there was sands and stones.

When we learn that a villager loses his life on his way to look for water for other villagers, when we hear that an old lady drinks dirty water to say alive, when we see cracks at the bottom of dry lakes, when we see Asia’s biggest waterfall, Huangguoshu get narrower, when we know some villagers in Yunnan are travelling for three hours to try to find water in valleys, our hearts are filled with sorrow.We Chinese must take action and unite once again. The army has been sent to help fight againest the water shortages. And lots of people raise money to help the people there. Luckily there has been rain these days. Though a day or a week of rainfall is not enough to end the drought, at least there is water coming to the dried-up land, which can help a lot.The severe drought is not a good thing, but through it, we can learn how important the environment is to this world. We should stop polluting the air right away. Besides, we should take measures to protect the forests and plant as many trees as possible.

And with all those cars for every person. And with all those cars on the road, people have to spend plenty of time stuck in the traffic.Now imagine every Sunday, major roads in city areas were closed off to cars, and people were invited to spend time wandering through their neiborhoods by bike. It may sound like impossiblie in such a car-heavy city. But a small group of activists called cicLAvia wants to make this car-free day become reality.“Air pollution is awful and children are too heavy now,” siad cicLAvia member Jonathan Parfrey. “But building new parksfor people to exercise can be much too expensive. We want to create public space that was already have—our roads.”The idea isn’t new. It was born in the Colombian city of Bogota 30 years ago. Bogota is a city with heavy traffic and air pollution. But every Sunday in Bogota major streets are shut down to cars. So cicLAvia wants to follow that success in Los Angeles.Although it may seem like a great challenge in such a city, the members of cicLAvia are confident. They are taking steps to make it happen, including a recent meeting with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. And a charity group has agreed to provide $20,000 to support this event.

I”ll try my best to take good care of her,” I said. I even volunteered to say that I would wait for Jenny at the school gate every morning to give her a familiar face.On the next Monday morning, I waited at the school gate to meet Jenny. When the bus arrived, Jenny and her three sisters got off it. I was surprised to see a happy girl, not a sad, tearful girl.

Every branch of every tree, every leaf on every branch—everything—was in ice.“What should we do, Dad?”“Help your mother to gather up the candles and light them.”You wouldn’t think a candle could produce much heat, but a dozen candles actually do heat up a room. When I was helping my mother, she asked me, “Do you want some breakfast?”I certainly did. Some warm food would be perfect, but we had none.

So why does a good night's sleep make you feel better?Scientists have studied sleep to find the answer to this question. They have found some different reasons. First, sleep helps your body stay healthy. Even though you are sleeping, your body is still active. Sleep gives your body a chance to repair itself.Sleep also helps your body to rest. When you sleep, the beat of your heart and your breathing rate become slower, which lowers your body's energy level. Your body needs rest after a busy day.Sleep is important for your brain too. During the day your brain gathers and stores information. At night while sleeping, your brain reviews everything that you did during the day. It saves some of your experiences so you can remember them.What happens if you do not have enough sleep? People who miss too much sleep have trouble paying attention. They make more mistakes in their work. Scientists believe that people who miss more than three days of sleep may become sick and even start seeing something that is not really there.Most students need between ten and eleven hours of sleep each night. To keep healthy, you must sleep enough.Joe Jameson found an old jar under the bridge near his house. He 1 the jar in his pocket and played with his friends.

He wanted each student to try a different job every week. Jocelyn liked Mondays because she enjoyed the different jobs. Her favorite, though, was Computer Helper. She loved helping other students use the computer.Jocelyn looked at a table near the window. On top of the table was a big cage. Inside the cage was a rabbit named Wiggles. Taking care of Wiggles was the one special job Jocelyn didn't want.Jocelyn liked Wiggles, but she just didn't know how to take care of him. She watched her classmates feed him and clean his cage. Jocelyn didn't know how they made caring for him seem easy. All she knew was that it would never be easy for her.At the front of the room, Mr. Romo had only two special jobs left: Lunchroom Leader and Bunny Buddy. Jocelyn held her breath. Then she heard Mr. Romo say her name, followed by "Rabbit Buddy."Jocelyn lowered her eyes. "I don't know how to take care of Wiggles. What will happen to him if I do something wrong?" she said.When Jocelyn looked up, Mr. Romo was smiling. "That's why I have printed directions. The list will show you how to take care of Wiggles," Mr. Romo said as he handed the paper to Jocelyn.Jocelyn slowly walked over to the cage where Wiggles lived.

By taking this long nap, they can get through the chilly and snowy months when the food they eat, like berries and nuts, cannot be found.Have you ever heard someone say they are as hungry as a bear? Bears need to eat a lot of food before hibernation. They eat so much that they may gain up to forty pounds of fat in a week.During the winter, bears will live off the fat stored in their bodies. Bears are able to do thatbecause their bodies use a lot less energy during hibernation. That is because their heartbeats slow down. Their breathing slows down, too. Their bodies don’t grow and body temperature drops.If you were going to sleep all winter, wouldn’t you want to be in a safe, protected place? That is what a bear wants, so it will look for a cave or a hollow tree to use as its den. It makes a bed using grass, leaves, and twigs. The bear may start to hibernate as early as October and might not wake up until April or May, when the weather is warm again.When the bear awakens, it will have lost much of the fat that was gained. But springtime will bring a fresh supply of berries and nuts to enjoy until it is time to hibernate again in the fall.( )1. What does the underlined word chilly mean?A. 燥热的B. 温暖的C. 寒冷的D. 狂暴的C. sleep during winterD. make their beds( )2. According to the article, what do bears like to eat?A. grass B honey C leaves and twigs D. berries and nuts( )3. According to the article, what happens right before a bear goes into hibernation?A. The bear eats a lot of food.B. The bear’s heartbeat slows down.C. The bear’s body temperature drops.D. The bear loses a lot of weight( )4. According to information in the article, what will a bear most likely do when spring comes?A. continue to sleepB. search for food to eatC. look for other bearsD. build a new den( )5. This article is mostly about how bears___A. gather their foodB. look for densC. sleep during winterD. make their bedsBessie Coleman grew up in Texas in the early 1900s. During this time, jobs were sometimes difficult to find. Therefore, Bessie moved north to live in Chicago with her two brothers.Bessie's brother John had been to France during World War I. When he returned, he inspired her with exciting stories about women in France becoming pilots. Being a pilot was interesting to Bessie, and she decided she wanted a new job. She would learn to fly airplanes.In 1918 there were no African-American female pilots in the United States. Becoming a pilot, she thought, would make her different. However, all of the flying schools refused her. Yet Bessie did not give up. She went to France to learn to fly.A few months later, Bessie returned home. Many stories were written in newspapers about her flying skills.However, she wanted to compete with other pilots because they could do stunts that were even more exciting. Bessie wanted to be successful, so she went back to France for more training. On September 3, 1922, she was ready. Her first air show was in New York City.

What do they look like? Some clouds are fluffy and white, like cotton balls. Others are dark, almost black, and make you grab an umbrella. At sunrise and sunset, clouds can look red, purple, or yellow—as if they were colored with crayons. But what are clouds anyway?You can’t reach out and touch the clouds, but you can make your own in a bottle.You need.• an adult helper• a huge, empty glass jar• metal strainer• hot water• ice cubesDo this1. Have your helper fill the jar with hot water, leave it there for two minutes, then pour outmost of the water, leaving just an inch or two at the bottom of the jar.2. It’s your turn now. Put the strainer over the mouth of the jar. Fill the strainer with ice cubes. Watch the jar.What happened?A cloud formed in the jar! Some of the hot water at the bottom of the jar turned into hot water vapor. The water vapor rose and bumped into the cold air coming off the ice cubes. When the water vapor condensed, it formed a cloud.Hot air rises and carries with it lots of water vapor. The higher the air rises, the more it cools down.

When the males reach their teens, they leave their family.Scientists naturally expected that animals living so closely together would have a lot of communication. They had listened to sounds of an elephant group. But until recently no one had heard what could be called elephant talk.Katy Payne is a scientist at Cornell University. She has been studying the songs and othersounds of whales. She was also curious about other big social animals and was excited when she got a chance to spend a week with elephants of the zoo in Portland, Oregon. She spent every day of that week watching and listening to elephants.On her way home from that first experience, she realized how little she had learned about elephant talk. Could it be that the elephants were talking in sounds that her ears couldn’t hear? When she got home, she told other scientists about her idea. They encouraged her to find equipment to record infrasound—sound below the frequency that human ears can hear.In a few months Katy and two friends were back at the elephant house with special microphones and tape recorders. After the recording, they played back the tapes in the laboratory, but at ten times the recording speed. Now there was a lot to hear—Katy said it sounded something like a lot of cows in a barn.

The big decision was made this afternoon in Copenhagen, where the International Olympic Committee (IOC) meeting was held.Rio was one of the four cities hoping to get the Games. The others were Chicago, Madrid, and Tokyo. The decision to choose Rio came after a final round of speeches by some very important people. But Brazil’s president, Silva, may have made the best speech.Silva told IOC members it was time for a South American city to host the Games. He said having the Olympics in South America would inspire the 400 million people who live on the huge continent. Silva said that Brazil had earned its chance to show that the Games belonged to people of all continents.

They said they wanted to build more galleries. The new galleries will hold bigger shows and made the museum one of the best in the world.In recent years, the museum has not been able to hold the huge crowds who wanted to see special exhibitions. In 2006, the demand for tickets was far greater than the number of tickets availab le for its exhibitions on Persia and Michelangelo. Neil MacGregor, the museum’s director, said: "For the Michelangelo we could have had three times as many visitors if we'd had space." The new 1,000 square metre space will allow more people to see these kinds of popularlarge-scale displays.Unfortunately, the new buildings was not completed in time for September’s exhibition, The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army. The largest number of terracotta warriors from China’s Forbidden City left China and came to London. The museum had already sold over 30,000 tickets and had to borrow exhibition space from its reading room. The British Museum had to refuse Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at the same time as the Chinese exhibition because it did not have enough space for both. If the new buildings were finished in time, it could have enough space to running the exhibitions from China and Egypt at the same time. Instead, the Tutankhamen exhibition had to be shown in anothe r of London’s museums.( )1. A. big B. small C. dear D. cheap( )2. A. repair B. destroy C. made D. build( )3.

This strange bird has a bald head, a bright pink body, red legs, and an unusual bill that is shaped like a spoon at the end. It lives along the coasts of Texas, Florida, Mexico, and South America. It finds food by walking through s hallo w water and swinging its huge bill through the water. It uses its bill to catch and scoop up shrimp and small fish. As it eats, the spoonbill makes a strange noise. Some people say it sounds like a grunt or a groan.Spoonbills are large birds. They are about 30 inches tall. When they spread their wings, they are a light pink color. They become a bright rosy-pink color when they are adults.Spoonbills build their nests in large groups with other birds that live along the coast. Scientists call these groups mixed colonies. Spoonbills use sticks to build next on tree branches or on the ground. Female spoonbills build the nests. Males help by collecting sticks. Females lay two or three large eggs. Both parents take care of the eggs. The chicks hatch in about 23 days.Today there are large numbers of spoonbills in both Texas and Florida. One hundred years ago, however, there were very few spoonbills. They were almost extinct because of their beautiful wing feathers. People used the beautiful feathers to make womean’s hats and fans.When the hunting of these birds was stopped, the number of spoonbills and other coastal birds began to increase. But spoonbills are still in danger today. As people build more house, stores, and roads along the coast, they destroy the wet places where spoonbills like to live. ( )1.

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案1Do you know some of English expressions about clothes? Let me explain some to you.People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. They might also fly by the seat of their pants. They use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your bet. You may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully.Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.

He said that you couldn’t be happy until you gave up your “racket”. My racket was lying. I lied about a lot of things to make myself happy. I always succeeded in lying to others. I felt happy when people told me I was such a convincing liar. However, I felt sad when I heard a girl say that she hated liars that day.On Saturday, many teenagers started to change. One of my new friends returned the toy bear he had stolen the day before to its owner. He told me that he had never felt so relaxedbefore, and he suggested that I try giving up my “racket”.One Friday morning my parents drove me to a three-day self-help seminar for teens called the Landmark Forum. When we arrived, my parents left me there.When I got home from the Landmark Forum, I tried to stop lying and started to take part in ball games and other activities at school. Now I don’t hate life any longer. I love it! I never knew I could be so happy. That seminar actually changed my life.There was once a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to say what something was too quickly. So he sent them each to go and look at a pear tree that was quite far away.The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to tell him what they had seen.The first son said that the tree was quite ugly. The second son said that it was covered with green flowers. The third son said that it was covered with flowers and looked beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said that there were many fruits on it.The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season. He told them that they cannot say what a tree or a person was like by only one season. “If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and the fruits of your fall.”Hold on through the difficult days and better times are sure to come sooner or later.

Uniforms can help to distinguish the bad people who want to break the peace of education environment and steal the school equipment.Thirdly, the students do not need to waste their time in thinking about what to wear before going to school. They will no longer wonder how to wear in the right fashion trend. The parents also save the money from buying the fashionable clothes for their children because they wear uniforms on most weekdays.Last but not least, uniforms help the student to feel more about their school.

At first we made a reservation for a journey to Luxor, Egypt, for the autumn of 1997. The trip was cancelled because of a terrorist attack, which took place in Luzor, so we need to change our plans. We wanted sun, ancient buildings and all for less than $500 a week. We did not have a lot of choices, and so we decided to travel to Tunisia. At last we felt it was not at all a bad decision.When we left for Tunisia we did not have any “deep” understanding of the country, its history or its culture, but once we got there we found it very interesting. We saw ruins from the Roman Empire and the ruined towns. With a little time, these places offer a lot to see. Best of all, most of the place allow visitors to walk around the ruins.

He had grey hair, wore a hat and thick glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr Jones thought that he must have arrived by the night train and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi.Mr Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long rope to one of its branches so that they could swing on it.Mr Jones was surprised to see the professor stop when he saw the rope, and look carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was nobody, he stepped into the garden, put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat neatly on the grass and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the air on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all around his face.At last the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued on his way to the university, looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be( )1.

Let me tell you about it.The word jeans comes from a kind of material that was made in Europe. The material, called jean, was named after sailors from Genoa in Italy, because they wore clothes made from it. In the 18th century jean cloth was made completely from cotton and workers at that time loved wearing itbecause the material was very strong and it did not wear out easily. In the 1960s, many university and college students wore jeans. Designers made different styles of jeans to make the 1960s’ fashion: embroidered jeans, painted jeans and so on. In the 1970s more and more people started wearing jeans because they became cheaper. In the 1980s jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went up and up. But in the 1990s the worldwide economic situation got worse, and the sale of jeans stopped growing.

Some sharks are very small—the smallest shark is about 6 inches long—about as long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The largest kinds of sharks may be 60 feet long and weigh 15 tons.Unlike many other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made of a kind of white flexible material. Sharks do not have ears. However, they “hear” sound and move ments in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks feel these vibrations and they help the sharks find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food in the evening, or in the middle of the night.Nowadays, scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer too. ( )1. A. ponds B. cities C. lakes D. oceans( )2. A. and B. so C. but D. or( )3. A. tall B. long C. far D. wide( )4.

She didn’t have any friends because all day she read, studied and did homework. I don’t think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people. No one really paid attention to her, everyone often laughed at her, too. I had heard she had problems, but I didn’t really believe them.My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said “Hi” to her, but she wasn’t our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued to be kind to her. She was really quiet.D uring the summer holidays, I got a letter from her. It read, “I just wanted to tahnk you so much for being so kind and friendly to me this year. Before you became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I didn’t think anyone wanted me arou nd. I even wanted to kill myself because of this. But you and your friends changed that. You make me feel happy. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and going to another school next year. I’ll never forgot you and what you did.”By the time I finished the letter, I was so surprised. I could not believe that I had just read.

Since late January, China has put off (1) the new school semester and encouraged students to study at home over safety concerns.The Ministry of Education issued(发布)a guideline for universities to organize online classes, with 22 online platforms (2) 24,000 courses to students. Online course companies also adopted special ways to (3) students’ demands for online learning during this period, such as free courses and online question-answering services. (4) what has been arranged by your schools as your study routine, what can you gain from online learning? Online courses can offer you a good experience for self-learning.To (5) learn online, you need to dedicate(奉献)a significant amount of your time, consistently attend the program, concentrate(专心)while studying and fully (6)your learning process, just as you would do for a regular course. To stay on track with your online course, always (7) what you hope to complete by the end of it.Make a goal. Predict how much time each task will (8) to complete. Keep detailed notes and review them often. A study plan is important to online learning.First, you need to plan ahead with a good calendar system. Online learning needs (9) . Create a study calendar (10) will help you remember all the important dates like online exams or deadlines for your tasks. A to-do list is useful to prioritize(优先处理)your study plan and to stay on track with your studying.When you feel yourself (11)concentration, consider taking a short break or stopping for the night. It is better to wait until you are able to start afresh (12) waste your time trying to focus.Taking online courses can be very convenient for many people. However, online learning (13) time management skills, self-discipline, willpower and motivation, as it may be challenging for online learners to successfully complete their online courses.(14) American author John C. Maxwell once said, “Success doesn’t just happen. You have to be intentional about it, and that takes discipline.” Take Maxwell’s (15) and make full use of online learning for self-improvement.( )1.A.to start B.starting C.started D.start( )2.A.offer B.offering C.provide D.providing( )3.A.please B.satisfy C.meet D.give( )4.A.Besides B.Except C.Beside D.Except for( )5.A.succeed B.successful C.successfully D.success( )6.A.stick to B.stick into C.stick on D.stick out( )7.A.keep up with B.keep in mindC.keep away fromD.keep in touch with( )8.A.spend B.cost C.take D.pay( )9.A.to organize well anizing wellC.to be organizing wellD.well organized( )10.A.what B.who C.that D.where( )11.A.losing B.to lose C.lost D.lose( )12.A.instead of B.rather than C.instead D.than( )13.A.requires B.requests C.regrets D.replies( )14.A.Like B.As C.Because D.Since( )15.A.advises B.suggestion C.advice D.advices(B)A wonderful article here on China Daily said that spending for education increases annually (1) about 20%. As a foreign teacher here, I'm wondering how it (2) and what are the results. You can spend more money without being effective.One of my biggest questions is: Why do children in the USA stay in school 2-3 hours less each day, have very (3) homework, no weekend classes and still do well in education in comparison to most Chinese students?Now, in my opinion, Chinese students are smart,very intelligent, I know. I teach them. They know how to study hard and for long hours. They know how to stand long classes. Children in the USA wouldn't sit (4) a class of over an hour. 40-50 minutes for most classes at most in the USA.When Chinese students attend university in the USA, their success rate is nearly 100%. Very, very rare does a Chinese child fail in the USA. Why? The answer is the same—they know how to study hard.So, (5) to Chinese children, American children get far less classroom instruction and far less homework at night. Yet there are over 200,000 Chinese college students (6) schools in the U.S. and that number is growing by 25% annually. In 3 years, there will likely be over 400,000 Chinese students studying in the USA.Now, I can reason and reconcile (7) Chinese students want to attend college in the USA. But in my year and a half here, I've met parents (8) children are in middle school and the parents want to send them to the USA. It seems to me that in China, long hours, extra hours and extra days of classes is realized as better education. Schools I've taught at here, (9) adding classes and oftentimes, longer classes. In the West, parents, teachers and students would never permit this. They wouldn't think of sending their children to school on Saturday or Sunday. However, in China, it is very common.I honestly and sincerely don't know the answers to these questions. If Western education is THAT much better, then, shouldn't Western styles of teaching (10) in China? Again, I'm seeking reasonable and intelligent objective answers.( )1.A.to B.by C.at D.in( )2.A.is spent B.spent C.is taken D.took( )3.A.a little B.little C.a few D.few( )4.A.for B.over C.through D. in( )paring pared C.to compare pare( )6.A.joining B.taking C.attending D.joining in( )7.A.why B.how C.what D.where( )8.A.whom B.who C.of which D.whose( )9.A.take up B.take in C.take pride in D.take on( )10.A.be adopted B.adopt C.allow D.be allowed(C)How many times have you complained, “There aren’t enough hours in the day!”?Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated from University of Cambridge, probably (1) . After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. It records her daily life on campus. Now she has more than 270,000 subscribers to her channel.In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In (2) , she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online.A similar case (3) college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1:00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week, the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day bypre-reading his textbooks at 6:40 am, and (4) a summary of his studies. When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule, he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.Both students’ hard work(5) certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates; and the Chinese undergraduate won (6) scholarship four years in a row. The two have something in common. They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as (7) into the schedule as they can. More (8) , they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.Some may wonder how they can (9) exhaustion, stress and burnout. White’s video Time Management & Organization Tips All Students Should Know may provide an answer. She advises to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. We should also know how to avoid and release stress because, “Mental health is as important as our physic al health.” To White, dancing is something she takes as a reward after completing everything on the list. Then enough sleep to rest her body and get ready to do a good job the next day.Indeed, things must be carefully planned before we act, then “(10) can be reached with half the effort”, as the old Chinese saying goes.( )1.A.agrees B.disagrees C.agreed D.disagreed( )2.A.between B.among C.all D.both( )3.A. was happened to B.took place inC.happened toD.was taken place in( )4.

The problem he has is how to (1) an artist once he grows up.”This is both encouraging and discouraging: The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed. (2) , some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.Western educators have suggested that we (3) the thought of “STEAM” instead of “STEM” –traditional “core majors” including science, technology, engineering, and math –since the “A”,(4) stands for “arts”, is just as important. And on April 11, China’s Ministry of Education issued a guideline. Colleges and universities are required to provide more art-related courses and students need to earn a certain number of art credits in order to graduate.These efforts came after many scientific studies (5) that art education helps students (6) self-confidence and teamwork skills, as well as habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking, according to The Washington Post. It’s true that (7) of these skills target specific jobs. But as former US ballet dancer Damian Woetzel told The Atlantic, the purpos e of art is “to give kids the tools to become adults (8) creative, adaptable, and expressive – capable of having their eyes and ears and senses (9) ”.And we can now see how we lost track of our born “artist self” on our way to growing up: We (10) to keep our capabilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults.

When a disease (3) , people focus on the public health response and the official naming of a new virus is often put off. But that may (4) many problems. The most obvious one is that different media organizations may use different names for the same virus in their reports.

This means different names can take hold quickly and be hard to (5) , which may confuse those who know little about the virus.But naming a virus is never easy.

The study is from the National Health Service in the UK. Researchers said that nowadays, children (1) so much time swiping(刷)iPad or mobile phone screens (2) they cannot hold a pencil properly. Children are not using pencils, so they now lack the muscle(肌肉)strength in their hands to be able to write properly. Researcher Dr Sally Payne said, "Children are not coming into school (3) the hand strength and ability they had 10 years ago. Children coming into school (4) a pencil but are increasingly unable to hold it because they don't have the fundamental movement skills."The researchers said technology is changing the physical way that children write, draw or make things. Children are increasingly using technology to create. Dr Payne explained why. She said, "It's easier to give a child an iPad than (5) them to do muscle-building play such as building blocks, cutting and sticking, or (6) toys and ropes.

This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly, I started to feel very frightened.We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out suddenly.

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案6A coin collection usually starts from unexpected beginnings. For example, you may have coins in your purse from a trip to another country or you may find old coins in an old shop. You can have your collections about the country, year or subject. If your friends travel to many other countries, you would find it easy to collect coins of different countries. You may also choose a foreign country that interest you, like France or India, and collect coins of that country. You’d better collect your own nation’s coins if you want to know more about collections!Some coin collectors collect faulty coins such as coins with over dates, off-center coins and so on. But there are few faulty coins. This makes them even more interesting. You can also collect by material, gold or silver.You can pick up interesting coins during the international travel, and you can also get them at local shops, markets and coin shows.It’s great to collect coins, but where are you going to store them? Many people keep their coin collections in a box, but it’s difficult to find them when you need them. I give you a piece of good advice: store them in the bookmarks.( )1.

Airports and airplanes let people travel to different countries easily, so there are more foreigners here than there used to be. Also, there are fewer farms than there used to be because now farmers can grow more food by using machines. But the biggest change has probably been how people live their lives at home. In the past, people had to wash their clothes by hand, which usually took about 1 or 2 hours from start to finish. Now, washing machines can do the same work in less than 40 minutes! Cooking and cleaning the house used to take many hours every day, too. Modern people have much more free time than people used to have. But his is not always a good thing. Many people get bored more easily than people in the past did. When they have free time, they just surf the Internet or listen to the radio.

However, if you would like to buy it on the internet, you may not know which one to choose. I will try to give you some advice.First, you have to know what to expect from an mp3 player. Do you only want to listen to music or also to play videos and watch movies? Secondly, you have to know how much money you want to spend. There are mp3 players which cost 1000Kč ( about 40 Euro) or 5000Kč (about 200 Euro) for example. Thirdly, you should find a brand or make which manufactures quality products. After that you should be able to search for an mp3 player that suits your particular purpose. It is easy. You put “mp3 player” in a search engine like Google or whichever one you use and you will find many websites. However, some links could be fake, so be careful. And my last piece of advice is definitely read other people's comments. Those comments are written by people who have already bought and used the product, so they can help you much more than this article.Finally, I would like to say that there are a lot of different ways of getting the mp3 that you want. How much you pay and how much enjoyment you get from your mp3 player will depend on you which way you decide to look for one, so be smart and hunt well.( )1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A.

People who want to act in plays come from all over the world hoping to get a job as an actor. They want to become rich and famous on Broadway.But one group of actors in a new Broadway play is happy to perform for just a snack. These actors are dogs. They perform in a musical show called Chitty Bang Bang. The dogs do a great job in the play, thanks to their trainer William Berioni.Berioni did not plan to become an animal trainer. In college he studied acting and learned how to put on plays. But Berioni was also interested in animals. He often brought homeless animals to his house.Berioni combined his love for plays with his love for animals. He began training a dog to be in a Broadway play. He found just the right dog for the play at an animal shelter. This is a place that takes care of homeless animals. The dog became famous as Sandy in the play Annie. The dog performed onstage for seven years. This is the longest any animal has been in a Broadway play.Berioni hopes the dogs will be in the play for a long time. When the play finally ends, the dogs will stay on a farm with Berioni and his family. The dogs will have plenty to keep them busy. Berioni already has many other animals he takes care of on his farm.Aaron Conley, an 11-year-old boy, is a child actor. He has performed many kinds of roles. He has taken many years of acting, dancing, and singing lessons. If chosen for a part, the children must work hard.In fact, going to school became difficult when Aaron began receiving acting jobs in New York City. Many child actors were studying in private schools that allow them to have flexible time tables. These schools were expensive, so Aaron’s mother let him study in a public school. But the time table there was very difficult to follow since Aaron sometimes needed to leave in the middle of the school day for play practices. Finally his mother decided to teach Aaron at home.Children actors and their families make many sacrifices. One of the biggest sacrifices that Aaron’s family has made was moving from Mississippi to New York City. Aaron needed to live close to his acting jobs. This meant leaving behind family and friends. Also, because of his busy acting time table, Aaron isn’t always able to take part in activities, which makes it difficult to make friends in a new place.Night after night, show after show, Aaron Conley understands the difficulty of his job, but heloves what he does.( )1.

She walked as if each step was painful.After walking around the store for a moment, she stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She picked up one, and looked at the label strangely. I went over to her and asked her if she needed any help.“Are you looking for corn, madam?”“I’m hungry. I need some food,” she answered. “Any kind.”“Well, the corn is ninety-five cents,” I said in my most helpful voice.“I can’t pay,” she said.For a second, I want to say, “Take the corn.” But the employee rules flooded into my mind. I couldn’t do that. “I’m sorry; madam, but I can’t give you anything for free.”The old woman’s face turned red. She put the corn back, and went out sadly.Moments after she left, I rushed out the door with the corn, but I couldn’t see her. For the rest of that day, the image of the poor woman troubled me. I wish with all my heart that I had acted like a human being rather than a robot.81. An old woman. 82. Anything to eat. 83. Ninety-five cents. 84. The employee rules 85.

It was hard to leave, but Taj kissed his mother goodbye and headed off to school.When Taj arrived at school that morning, a new student named Berto was in class. Mrs. Grant ask ed, “Who will be Berto’s helper?” Taj raised his hand. He wanted a chance to help this new boy just as some other children had helped him. One month ago Taj was the “new kid” from a faraway country.Berto was from Puerto Rico. He spoke Spanish and English. Taj showed him around the classroom. Mrs. Grant let them go out for a school tour. Berto smiled often, asking many questions on their walk around school. Taj thought, “Maybe I have a new friend!”Berto was lively. His long legs always seemed ready to run. Later, Berto and Taj joined a soccer game. Sports looked like fun Taj played, but his mind and body didn’t work well together. The harder he tried, the worse he played.Before noon, Berto met other students. Some of them spoke Spanish. “Oh, well,” Taj th ought. “Berto has found friends who speak the same language as he does.”At lunch, Taj sat with some friends. He opened his lunch sack and took out the samosas. They weren’t warm anymore, but they were still good. Taj bit into a tasty samosas.Taj saw Berto walking toward him.

Others compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many ways to keep a climber’s safety. Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to pull themselves straight up. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are four kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes as they climb. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling.There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls have places for the climber's hands and feet. Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice. And then there is bouldering—climbing rocks between three and seven meters high. It is a quick climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.Most rocks have holes. Climbers use these for footholds and handholds. Climbers use their legs to climb. Arms and hands are for position and balance. Climbers often need to lock their bodies to the rock with one small finger hold.( )1.

The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby runs two-hour detention sessions after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical music. He also makes them copy his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos. Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils having a bad effect on lessons for other students who want to study.Brian Walker believes the detention reminds students that education is something to value. He thinks students actually learn from being kept behind after school: "Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don't normally have and…don't want to have again, so it's both educational and acts as a deterrent." Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behaviour. In 2004, it reduced crime on London’s subway by 25 per cent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop misbehaving. However, one West Park student called Kieran said: “An hour of Mr. Walker's music is a real killer.”1. Mozart was a bad student at school and was punished a lot. T / F2. A teacher forced students to write poetry and listen to classical music. T / F3. Music on London’s subway system cut crime by a quarter in 2004.

Maybe you haven’t heard about it, but I’m sure you have heard about William Shakespeare. William Shakespere was born there and he spent his early years there. It was a very old and traditional house. Its sitting room, hallway(走廊), bedrooms, and kitchen were in 16th-century style. I also went to see the Shakespeare Exhibition. It told us Shakespeare’s life in both Stratford and London in picture s. It included a first edition of Shakespeare’s collected plays and a model of London’s Globe Theatre.I really enjoyed this nice trip to England. From this trip I learnt a lot.

There are three main types of educational institutions: primary school, secondary school and universities.State schools are free, and attendance is compulsory. More school begains at nine o’clock and lasts until five past four. School opens five days a week.On Saturday and Sundays, there are no lessons. There are holidays at Christmas. Easter and in summer. In London as in all cities there are two grades of states schools for those who will go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the ages of five and eleven, and secondary schools for children from eleven to fifteen.The lessons are reading, writing, the English language, English literature, English history, geography, science, nature study, drawing, painting, singing, woodwork and physical training..Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat asks which they have already done at school.Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework.A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.Officials from Museums of 16 countries held a meeting in Cairo in April, 2010. They tried to get back their treasures in history.

My father got 3 and bought me a guitar when I was about eight. But I didn't like it until I was a teenager. During those teen years, I took up my guitar and 4 playing along.Then I went to college. My father thought I should focus more on my 5 while I should have more fun playing music. I dreamed to be a musician.

And each stroke(笔画) in a character had to be written in a certain order.Poetry was also an important form of art. Great poets were famous all over the country. And all educated people were expected to write poetry. During the Tang Dynasty, poetry was so important that writing poetry was part of the examinations to become a civil servant(文官) and work for the government.Chinese painting was often connected with calligraphy.

But she was moving from a house with a little garden so her son would have space to play. The distance was probably too short to call a removal company(搬家公司), but it was long enough to make carrying all the stuff a real pain.But we didn't have to. A neighbor offered the use of her truck. She drove it up to my daughter's front door, and then went home while we loaded it up. Then she came out, drove it to the new house and walked back home for a cup of tea while we unloaded. Then she did it again and again.We decided to thank her, but she didn’t want anything from us. My daughter got her some flowers later as a “thank you”.Before I left, I stopped by the woman's house, just to thank her for being such a help to my daughter, as she really didn’t have to help. It's not like they were such close friends or anything “It’s what neighbors should do,” she said.“It’s what neighbors used to do,” I said.“Well, let’s bring it back then,” she smiled. I thought she was right. Neighbors often helped each other in the past, but now we don’t do that so often as we did before.“Let’s bring it back,” I said sincerely in my heart.It’s good to have neighbors like her.( )1.

Perhaps your child loves art, and you want to encourage that interest, but you just don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re ready to start drawing, too. Then this website is for you.At Art Made Easy, I’ll take through what you need to know to help your children create their own works of art.I’ll also tell you what you need to buy to get them started, and provide you with prices soyou’ll know what to expect before you go to the store. You’ll find free lessons to try with them, and along the way, I’ll explain all kinds of art terms to you.How old should a child be before starting art? As a Mom and an art teacher, I’ve found that any age is a great age to begin creating. My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned. The tips and lessons on this site are meant to be studied and tried together with your child! Remember, as with anything new that you learn to do, you improve with practice.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after night, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.( )2. According to the passage, what does a comet travel around?A. The sun.B. The moon.C. Other comets.D. other planets( )3. Why do comets look as if they are motionless when we see them?A. They are very small.B. They are very far away.C. They move very slowly.D. They move only at night.( )4. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.( )5. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To convince readers to look for comets.Long ago all of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the s1 . And others thought it was a big ball of cheese! Then telescope was made. And men s 2 that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.On July 20th, 1969, that dream came t 3 . Two American men landed on the moon. T 4 names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick t 5 the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the fist mark a living thing had ever made on the moon.The two men walked on the moon f 6 hours. They picked rocks to bring back to e 7 for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climb b 8 into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that w 9 for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. B 10 them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up.

But she was moving from a house with a little garden so her son would have space to play. The distance was probably too short to call a removal company(搬家公司), but it was long enough to make carrying all the stuff a real pain.But we didn't have to. A neighbor offered the use of her truck. She drove it up to my daughter's front door, and then went home while we loaded it up. Then she came out, drove it to the new house and walked back home for a cup of tea while we unloaded. Then she did it again and again.We decided to thank her, but she didn’t want anything from us. My daughter got her some flowers later as a “thank you”.Before I left, I stopped by the woman's house, just to thank her for being such a help to my daughter, as she really didn’t have to help. It's not like they were such close friends or anything “It’s what neighbors should do,” she said.“It’s what neighbors used to do,” I said.“Well, let’s bring it back then,” she smiled. I thought she was right. Neighbors often helped each other in the past, but now we don’t do that so often as we did before.“Let’s bring it back,” I said sincerely in my heart.It’s good to have neighbors like her.( )1.

Perhaps your child loves art, and you want to encourage that interest, but you just don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re ready to start drawing, too. Then this website is for you.At Art Made Easy, I’ll take through what you need to know to help your children create theirown works of art.I’ll also tell you what you need to buy to get them started, and provide you with prices so you’ll know what to expect before you go to the store. You’ll find free lessons to try with them, and along the way, I’ll explain all kinds of art terms to you.How old should a child be before starting art? As a Mom and an art teacher, I’ve found that any age is a great age to begin creating. My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned. The tips and lessons on this site are meant to be studied and tried together with your child! Remember, as with anything new that you learn to do, you improve with practice.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after n ight, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.( )2. According to the passage, what does a comet travel around?A. The sun.B. The moon.C. Other comets.D. other planets( )3. Why do comets look as if they are motionless when we see them?A. They are very small.B. They are very far away.C. They move very slowly.D. They move only at night.( )4. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.( )5. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To convince readers to look for comets.Long ago all of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the s1 . And others thought it was a big ball of cheese! Then telescope was made. And men s 2 that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.On July 20th, 1969, that dream came t 3 . Two American men landed on the moon. T 4 names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick t 5 the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the fist mark a living thing had ever made on the moon.The two men walked on the moon f 6 hours. They picked rocks to bring back to e 7 for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climb b 8 into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that w 9 for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. B 10 them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon.

If you want to learn more about a sport, you might ask your mum or dad about camps or programs that introduce kids to know how to play.Gym classes at school also can be a way to try new sports with lots of kids. Another way to learn about a sport is to watch education videos or DVDs, or check out library books.

In the past, we often got together at our home every Sunday. My grandparents, parents, aunt, uncle and my cousin, Jane, would have a wonderful time playing games, swimming, relaxing and sharing stories.On one sunny summer Sunday when I was 5, my cousin Jane thought it would be funny to push me into the swimming pool we had in the backyard. I couldn’t believe Jane had done this to me, so I decided to put a big pout on my lips until I found some sympathy. Wet and unhappy, I sat next to my grandpa on a nearby picnic bench. When he asked me what was wrong, I told him what Jane had done.“Well, just push her back!” he said.After hearing my grandpa’s suggestion, I watched Jane’s every move until she was in jus t the right position beside the pool. I then pushed her into the pool. She was good at swimming and didn’t get hurt.Soon after that year, Grandpa moved from Ohio to Florida, so I didn’t get to see him much before he died when I was 11.

I asked John why the pig had them. He said, “One day, while I was checking the tire of my tractor, the tractor suddenly started to move slowly and then I was trapped under the wheel. Just then Pinky, the pig, saw it. It ran back to the house, fastened its teeth on my wife’s dress and pulled her out. Then my wife helped me get out of the wheel.”“That’s amazing, but that still can’t explain why Pinky has the artificial legs,” I said.“Well, let me tell you another accident. Once my son hit his head on a stone while swimming in a lake. Pinky jumped into the water, swam to him and pulled him up onto the blank,”John said.“Most pigs can’t swim, but Pinky can!” I said with surprise. “Pinky is actually a special pig, but I really want to know why it has three artificial legs,” I said.“Well,” said John, “Pinky is so good that we can’t eat it up at one time,( )1.

That’s why it’s important to follow these safety rules all the time.1The adult who’s taking care of you needs to know where you are at all times. That means telling your mom or dad, grandmother, or whoever is keeping an eye on you where you are and when you’ll come home.2It’s more fun and safer to do things with friends. Take along a friend when you walk to school, bike around the park, or go to the store. Travelling with a friend whenever you can is agood idea, and travelling with several kids is even better.3What are safe spots? Safe spots are places where you can stop if you need help, like the house of kids you know, your parents’friends’houses, stores, restaurants, police stations, libraries, and fire departments. When you’re walking or riding your bike, remember the safe sports along your route. You’ll know where they are when you need help.4Be sure to keep away from places where no one is around, like the small, dark streets.5It’s nice to help people. But remember: Strangers should ask adults, not kids for help. If a stranger asks you for help—such as giving directions, finding lost money—don’t help. Don’t even give an answer. You should walk the other way at once. If you’re not near a safe spot, try any store or restaurant. If you feel you’re in danger, call for help.A lot of people like to play their records as loudly as possible at home. The result is that the other members of the family and the neighbors often complain since they don't like the music. One answer to this problem is to wear headphones, but headphones are usually uncomfortable.An armchair has just been made by a British engineer, Stepen Court. It has a record-player system. The armchair looks like an ordinary armchair with a high back. However, each of the two sides of the chair has three loudspeakers inside to make middle and high sounds. Low sounds are made by a pair of loudspeakers in a hollow space under the seat. Anyone who sits in the chair hears sounds coming from all round his / her head. Because we cannot tell where low sounds come, it doesn't matter that they come from underneath or behind. It is the higher sounds coming from the side of the chair that create a stereo effect. These sounds travel only a few inches to reach the listener's ears. Consequently, it takes only a little power to make the music sound very loud. Only a small amount of sound leaks out from behind the chair into the room to disturb others. Most of the sound is absorbed by the listener.( )1. A. class B. family C. group D. team( )2.

Others are machines or something to make our lives more comfortable.The ideas of these inventions may come from everyday life. Take the popular game, Monopoly, for example. In 1930, the American economy fell down. Millions of people lost their work. Among them was Charles Darrow. They had no money to go on vacation. Darrow said to his wife, "If I were rich, I'd take you to the best hotel in Atlantic City and I would buy the hotels, all the houses and streets and the railroad for you." Then an idea grew in his mind. He cut houses and hotels into wood. He made cards with names of places on them. He used buttons for tokens, a pair of dice and lots of play money. The game was called Monopoly.Another example was the cat’s-eye reflector. Percy Shaw got his idea while driving along the side of a hill. That day, he ran into thick fog(雾). He couldn't see the road clearly. At that very moment, the car lights had been reflected in the eyes of a cat and he could see where the side of the road was. He began to think of inventing reflectors that shone like cats' eyes and setting them in the middle of the road. His invention has contributed a lot to traffic safety.( )1.

The idea was especially interesting to two French brothers, Jacques and Joseph Montgolfier. In the late 1700s, they made experimenting with hot-air balloons.Their first experiment was to fill small paper bags with smoke. They found that the bags would rise in the air. At first, the two brothers believed that the smoke made the bags rise. But later, they realized it was the hot air, rather the smoke that caused the bags to rise.The Montgolfier brothers continued to experiment. In 1783, they put a hot-air balloon in the air for eight minutes. The balloon carried a cock, a sheep, and a duck! They came back to earth safely after history’s first real balloon f light. Later that year, they made a bigger balloon and the two people rose over 300 feet into the air. Their flight lasted 25 minutes.By 1784, ballooning had become very popular in France. People traveled for miles to see balloons take off and come down again. One year later, two men flew from France across the English Channel to England. It took two hours.Today, hot-air balloons are very popular. To fly a balloon, the pilot burns wood or gas to make hot air, which makes the balloon rise. The balloon rises into the air as more hot air is produced. To lower the balloon, hot air is released.( )1. Jacques and Joseph Montgolfier made experimenting with hot-air balloons in___.A. the seventeenth centuryB. the eighteenth centuryC. the seventh centuryD. the eighth century( )2.

What does the underlined word “released” mean?A. 产生B. 增加C. 吸收D. 释放( )5. This passage mainly tells us ____A. how balloons were inventedB. how balloons carried animalsC. when balloons flew across English channelD. when balloons carried peopleFor most of us, the holidays are a great time to gather family, but your holiday experiences can be quickly forgotten with time because of the limitations of memory. You might therefore want to think of ways of recording those experiences. One very useful way of recording those experiences is by keeping a holiday journal.An important advantage of keeping a holiday journal is that it allows you to record changes that have happened to you and your family members. As you go through your journal, you’ll see how everybody has grown, the directions they have taken in life, friends who might have joined your family on the holidays and so on. These changes can be recorded by photographs as well.However, writing about your holiday experiences allows you to record several details about them which a photograph can not. This does not mean that photographs are not important. The best, of course, is for your journal to include both photographs and writing in order for it to be rich in detail.Another important benefit of a holiday journal is that it can give you an opportunity to appreciate your family members. Perhaps, you have made the mistake that most of us do, namely forgetting how important family members are and taking them for granted. As you you’re your holiday journal, however, you might feel like you want to reconnect with your loved ones and re-establish your relationship with them.( )1. What can be quickly forgotten with time?A. Training one’s memory to be good.B. The holiday journal you are making.C. The holiday experiences you have had.D. Having celebrations on holidays.( )2. How can one record one’s holiday experiences?A. By keeping a diary of them.B. By writing to an academic journal.C. By thinking carefully about them.D. By regularly discussing them.( )3. Why do family members become less close to each other? Because they __________.A. don’t write to or call each other oftenB. immigrate to different countriesC. forget to be thankful for each otherD. have poorly managed schedules( )4. Which advantage of a holiday journal is NOT mentioned by the author?A. It helps us to understand better how we’ve developed over time.B. It gives us a chance to be grateful to our family members.C. It helps us to relive our experiences in a more detailed way.D. It can become a family treasure for the next generation to read.( )5. What is most likely the tone of the writer?A. Pessimistic and insensitive.B. Thoughtful and positive.C. Serious and demanding.D. Humorous and entertaining.Cecilia is a young designer. She makes clothes for kids and teens.

The rain was drumming on the car roof as George and Marie Winstons drove through the empty country roads. They were going to their friend’s house, where they were going to attend a party. As they drove, they listened to the local radio station, whichwas playing classic music.They were about five miles from the Harrison s’ house when the music stopped. Then they heard a news announcement:“There’s a murder called John. He has just escaped from the police station. He is a big and strong man and he is extremely dangerous. People in this area must keep their doors and windows locked. If you see someone who acts strangely, call the police at once.Marie was so frightened. “A crazy killer,” she said. “He’s out there somewhere. That’s scary.”“But we have something more serious to worry about,” George said. “Something is wrong with our car. It might lose power and stop.”As he spoke, the car slowed down and stopped.“Bad luck!” George shouted angrily. “We’ll have to walk in the rain.”“But I have my new dress on,” Marie said. “The rain will make it dirty.”“Which is important, your dress or your life?” asked George. “It’s a dangerous place here.

Marie didn’t like her new dress.Saving money is important for many people. But what can we do? There are some tips for you.1If you’re trying to buy gifts for a large family, one of the easiest ways to reduce the cost of holiday shopping is to start a gift exchange. Each member of the family draws a name for a gift and buys it for that person only.2 .Instead of buying a new bottle of Old Spice or Uncle Greg this year, try suggesting the whole family get together for a special event or a nice meal and give up the gifts.3.Instead of buying gifts for each other, get together with your family and agree to do a public service project together for the holidays. Donate time at the local homeless shelter or soup kitchen, volunteer at your local animal shelter, or agree to do yard work and clean the house for an elderly couple in your neighborhoold.4。

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案9Many schools now have school counselors. A school counselor is a person who has been trained to help students with their problems. The counselor may work with one kid at a time. He or she may have a special room in the school where you can go at any time.You do not need your teacher’s permission to see a counselor. But you can ask your teacher how to make an appointment to see a counselor or go and knock on the counselor’s door.If you want to see a counselor by yourself because it is something you want to keep private, then no one except you and the counselor need to know. If you are not too sure about what the problem is, then talking to the counselor will help you to sort things out in your mind.A student from No. 1 Middle School said, “our school counselor helped me improve my grades.

Things will be better in the morning.” I thought this advice was crazy. How could sleep make my problem go away?I entered an excellent college, and I studied hard; but my mother died the year before I graduated. During that time, I was very upset and got ill. Then I was abandoned by many of the people who I thought were my friends.In the end, I found a job at a children’s library I loved. Although I threw myself into my job 150 percent, my boss didn’t like me. I developed creative library programs that proved popular with schools. But the harder I worked and the more credit I brought to the library for the programs, the angrier my boss became.I just couldn’t take the pressure anymore. I repeated my mother’s words and fell asleep feeling very upset.However, I was not overwhelmed by the pressure. I felt much better the next morning. Finally, I made a decision and fired my boss, but I continued to work with children. My popular programs were accepted by many other libraries and schools, and I also got a job as a teacher.Without the pressure of my former job, story ideas came to me from every direction and Ibegan writing picture books. I sold my stories to children’s magazines and I now have two books to be published.Actually sleep doesn’t make problems disappear, but helps me calm down. I now repeat my mother’s advice to myself whenever I face new challenges.( )1. Why did the boss dislike the writer?A. She didn’t work hard at all in the library.B.

She worked as a librarian at another library.C. she worked in another school and wrote picture books.D. She stayed at home and wrote for some magazines.( )5. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. The pressure of my former work.B. A good night’s sleep.C. A rude boss.D. The books I wrote.I had not really planned on taking a trip, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. The trip was going to be unpleasant and I knew that no real good would come of it. I’m talking about my Guilt Trip.I got tickets to fly to the City of Regret on “WISHIHAD” flight. As I checked into the hotel, I heard that people in the city would hold the year’s most important party, the Pity Party. I wasn’t going to miss it.Many leading families in the city would be there. First, there would be the Done family, you know, Should Have, Would Have and Could Have. Then would come the I Had family. The biggest family would be the Yesterday family. There were far too many family members to count, but each one would have a very sad story to share.As usual, I became very sad after hearing their stories. But as all of the stories of failures were brought back from the past, it occurred to me that all of the trip and the Pity Party could be rescinded by me! I started to truly realize that I did not have to be there. I didn’t have to be sad. One thing kept going through my mind, “I can’t change yesterday, but I do have the ability to make today a wonderful day. I can be happy and encouraged.”Realizing this, I left the City of Regret immediately. I would take trip to a place called Starting Again.( )1. How was the writer’s Guilt Trip?A. Exciting.B.

We can make today a wonderful day although we can’t change yesterday.Street lights in a village near Bath are going to be turned off to save energy and protect the environment. The Village Council plans to turn off around one in three lights in the village. Villagers are being invited to a look at a map which shows the lights for being turned off, and give their views if there are any particular ones which they would like to be saved.The leader of the Village Council, Fred Sheppard, said it would be a good idea to save energy and reduce light pollution. He said, “Like other villages, there are a lot of street lights around our village, but a large number of lights are perhaps unnecessary. By turning off these lights, we could save energy, which is important. There is also too much light pollution in the night sky. I think most people are receptive to the idea. One or two are perhaps not too happy about a particular light being turned off.”At the moment there are about 100 street lights in the village and 34 of those will be turned off.

They were listening to a speech after spending a 1 morning there. At the beginning of the speech, the speaker told them a story about 2 . “When I was in middle school, our teacher asked us to 3 about what we wanted to be in the future. That night I wrote down my dream of opening up an amusement park. However, my teacher didn’t like it. He gave me an ‘F’ and told me to write it again,” the speaker said. “The reason was just that my teacher said it was impossible for a poor boy to make such a dream come true. I went back home and asked my father what I should do. He told me to make the decision myself. So I decided to make no changes at all. ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream,” I said to my teacher.“And what happened?” all the students wanted to know the story.“This is what happened. You are listening to my speech in my dream park,” the speaker said. “I told you this story to make you know one thing: to follow your heart and keep your dream. Never let others destroy your dream!”Before leaving the park, the teacher of the students went over to the speaker, “Thank you, Mr Black. I think my students can learn a lot from your speech,” she said. “And I have to say sorry to you. Some years ago, I was once a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of students’dreams.

I remember watching trains pass by and wishing I was on one of them. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was 13 and reading the board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, London…But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I traveled the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middle March and Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the Tsar with Anna Karenina.My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, truly lived, somewhere else. I lived in books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be and what I might achieve.I travel today in the way I once dream of travelling as a child—on airplanes and in trains. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, and books. The only thing I do like about travelling is the time on airplanes reading. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the best destination and the journey too. They are home.Read more: /family-portraits-dos-and-donts#ixzz1UW6BxnC5Pyramids, a large desert, and an important river are three of the great attractions in Egypt.

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案4A submarine is a fascinating form of underwater transportation. This huge piece of metal moves quietly through the water. Most of the submarines in the water today are commanded by the military. However, one small submarine is owned by an English inventor named Robert Leeds. His submarine is considered the world’s first used just for entertainment.Leed’s submarine can carry two people. It is able to dive down to 150 feet and stay underwater for up to four days. This unique submarine named Gemini can remain still in the water or move up and down like a helicopter. Because of its small size, Leed’s compares his invention to an underwater sports car.“T he oceans are the last place on Earth where there are no personal vehicles,” says Leeds. Ever since I was 14, I have wanted to build one.”Leeds revealed his invention at London’s Science Museum in the fall of 2003. Gemini was displayed in one of the museum’s galleries. This location is often used for showing futuristic inventions.The cost of building Gemini was $850,000. Therefore, it is not likely to be produced in large numbers. But some people believe that it could be used for more than just underwater entertainment. A small personal submarine may be helpful in filming science shows, searching underwater areas, or inspecting pipelines. Leed’s company is offering to build submarines for individual buyers..No matter how the submarines are used, Leeds may be on the way to making history. “The oceans are still the great unknown in our doorsteps”, Insists the inventor. “Twelve men have walked on the moon, but only two have been to the bottom of the sea! Perhaps the invention of Gemini will change this statistic.”( )1. What does the underlined word “military” in the first paragraph mean?A. 空间B. 陆军C. 海军D. 炮兵( )2.

Honey found in ancient Egyptian tombs is thousands of years old, but still tastes good.The source of honey is the species of insect called the honeybee. The honeybee is always busy. It visits 145 flowers in order to collect the amount of just one teaspoon of honey. For a pound of honey, the honeybee flies the distance equal to three times around the world and makes visits to about two million flowers.There are over 250 types of honey in the United States alone. Generally, the lighter the color of the honey, the higher the quality. Very high grade honeys come from, orange blossoms and alfalfa.Bears love honey as much as humans do. The diet of some birds, such as the hummingbird of the Americas, is almost entirely honey. There is no honey in Alaska and some parts of Siberia because it is too cold for the honeybee to live there.( )1.

Others compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many ways to keep a climber’s safety. Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to pull themselves straight up. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are four kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes as they climb. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling. There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls have places for the climber's hands and feet. Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice. And then there is bouldering—climbing rocks between three and seven meters high. It is a quick climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.Most rocks have holes. Climbers use these for footholds and handholds. Climbers use their legs to climb. Arms and hands are for position and balance. Climbers often need to lock their bodies to the rock with one small finger hold.( )1.

His submarine is considered the world’s first used just for entertainment.Leed’s submarine can carry two people. It is able to dive down to 150 feet and stay underwater for up to four days. This unique submarine named Gemini can remain still in the water or move up and down like a helicopter. Because of its small size, Leed’s compares his invention to an underwater sports car.“T he oceans are the last place on Earth where there are no personal vehicles,” says Leeds. Ever since I was 14, I have wanted to build one.”Leeds revealed his invention at London’s Science Museum in the fall of 2003. Gemini was displayed in one of the museum’s galleries. This location is often used for showing futuristic inventions.The cost of building Gemini was $850,000. Therefore, it is not likely to be produced in large numbers. But some people believe that it could be used for more than just underwater entertainment. A small personal submarine may be helpful in filming science shows, searching underwater areas, or inspecting pipelines. Leed’s company is offering to build submarines for individual buyers..No matter how the submarines are used, Leeds may be on the way to making history. “The oceans are still the great unknown in our doorsteps”, Insists the inventor. “Twelve men have walked on the moon, but only two have been to the bottom of the sea!

Honey found in ancient Egyptian tombs is thousands of years old, but still tastes good.The source of honey is the species of insect called the honeybee. The honeybee is always busy. It visits 145 flowers in order to collect the amount of just one teaspoon of honey. For a pound of honey, the honeybee flies the distance equal to three times around the world and makes visits to about two million flowers.There are over 250 types of honey in the United States alone. Generally, the lighter the color of the honey, the higher the quality. Very high grade honeys come from, orange blossoms and alfalfa.Bears love honey as much as humans do. The diet of some birds, such as the hummingbird of the Americas, is almost entirely honey. There is no honey in Alaska and some parts of Siberia because it is too cold for the honeybee to live there.( )1.

One day,under the lead of their king, the doves flew away to look for food. The smallest dove found some rice under a tree. So all the doves came down and began to eat.Suddenly a net fell over them and soon they were all in it. Then a man came. The doves tried to get out of the net, but they couldn't. The oldest dove had an idea. He advised all the doves to fly up together carrying the net with them. He said if they worked together, they would be successful.The other doves did so and together they flew off carrying the net with them. The man was shocked. He tried to follow them, but they were flying high. The doves then flew to a hill because there lived a mouse and they thought he could help them. He was a good friend of the dove king.When they arrived, the dove king told the mouse what had happened and asked him to set them free. The mouse said that he would set the dove king free first. But the king asked him to free his subjects(臣民) first and he was the last one to come out.The doves all thanked the mouse and flew away together.

When they are red-hot, they are very angry about something. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say such music is red-hot.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music. Blues is slow and sad. Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for people. A person who has a sick feeling in the stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back of the paper money.The color black is used often in expressions.

This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be“liked”. Then we ch eck our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food?20.Why do we often take photos once a dish comes?(不超过15个词)21.What did the experiment show according to the passage?(不超过15个词)22.What does the writer want to tell us?(不超过20个词)【参考答案】Ⅰ.1—5 ABCAD 6—10 CBDBD Ⅱ.Passage 1 11—14 BDAC Passage 2 15—19 CBDDAⅢ.20.Because we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. 21.The more photos we took, the less delicious the food seemed to us.22.Don't take photos of food while having dinner with your family or friends at restaurants.1、在最软入的时候,你会想起谁。

人教版新目标英语2020届毕业生中考时文阅读理解分类复习训练题(三)完形填空(文化教育类) 含答案阅读短文,从下列A、B、C、D选项中选择适当的答案,使文章意思通顺:( A)As the novel coronavirus pneumonia makes students stay at home, online learning has seen a sharp rise among students. Since late January, China has put off (1) the new school semester and encouraged students to study at home over safety concerns.The Ministry of Education issued(发布)a guideline for universities to organize online classes, with 22 online platforms (2) 24,000 courses to students. Online course companies also adopted special ways to (3) students’ demands for online learning during this period, such as free courses and online question-answering services. (4) what has been arranged by your schools as your study routine, what can you gain from online learning? Online courses can offer you a good experience for self-learning.To (5) learn online, you need to dedicate(奉献)a significant amount of your time, consistently attend the program, concentrate(专心)while studying and fully (6)your learning process, just as you would do for a regular course. To stay on track with your online course, always (7) what you hope to complete by the end of it.Make a goal. Predict how much time each task will (8) to complete. Keep detailed notes and review them often. A study plan is important to online learning.First, you need to plan ahead with a good calendar system. Online learning needs (9) . Create a study calendar (10) will help you remember all the important dates like online exams or deadlines for your tasks. A to-do list is useful to prioritize(优先处理)your study plan and to stay on track with your studying.When you feel yourself (11)concentration, consider taking a short break or stopping for the night. It is better to wait until you are able to start afresh (12) waste your time trying to focus.Taking online courses can be very convenient for many people. However, online learning (13) time management skills, self-discipline, willpower and motivation, as it may be challenging for online learners to successfully complete their online courses.(14) American author John C. Maxwell once said, “Success doesn’t just happen. You have to be intentional about it, and that takes discipline.” Take Maxwell’s (15) and make full use of online learning for self-improvement.( )1.A.to start B.starting C.started D.start( )2.A.offer B.offering C.provide D.providing( )3.A.please B.satisfy C.meet D.give( )4.A.Besides B.Except C.Beside D.Except for( )5.A.succeed B.successful C.successfully D.success( )6.A.stick to B.stick into C.stick on D.stick out( )7.A.keep up with B.keep in mindC.keep away fromD.keep in touch with( )8.A.spend B.cost C.take D.pay( )9.A.to organize well anizing wellC.to be organizing wellD.well organized( )10.A.what B.who C.that D.where( )11.A.losing B.to lose C.lost D.lose( )12.A.instead of B.rather than C.instead D.than( )13.A.requires B.requests C.regrets D.replies( )14.A.Like B.As C.Because D.Since( )15.A.advises B.suggestion C.advice D.advices(B)A wonderful article here on China Daily said that spending for education increases annually (1) about 20%. As a foreign teacher here, I'm wondering how it (2) and what are the results. You can spend more money without being effective.One of my biggest questions is: Why do children in the USA stay in school 2-3 hours less each day, have very (3) homework, no weekend classes and still do well in education in comparison to most Chinese students?Now, in my opinion, Chinese students are smart,very intelligent, I know. I teach them. They know how to study hard and for long hours. They know how to stand long classes. Children in the USA wouldn't sit (4) a class of over an hour. 40-50 minutes for most classes at most in the USA.When Chinese students attend university in the USA, their success rate is nearly 100%. Very, very rare does a Chinese child fail in the USA. Why? The answer is the same—they know how to study hard.So, (5) to Chinese children, American children get far less classroom instruction and far less homework at night. Yet there are over 200,000 Chinese college students (6) schools in the U.S. and that number is growing by 25% annually. In 3 years, there will likely be over 400,000 Chinese students studying in the USA.Now, I can reason and reconcile (7) Chinese students want to attend college in the USA. But in my year and a half here, I've met parents (8) children are in middle school and the parents want to send them to the USA. It seems to me that in China, long hours, extra hours and extra days of classes is realized as better education. Schools I've taught at here, (9) adding classes and oftentimes, longer classes. In the West, parents, teachers and students would never permit this. They wouldn't think of sending their children to school on Saturday or Sunday. However, in China, it is very common.I honestly and sincerely don't know the answers to these questions. If Western education is THAT much better, then, shouldn't Western styles of teaching (10) in China? Again, I'm seeking reasonable and intelligent objective answers.( )1.A.to B.by C.at D.in( )2.A.is spent B.spent C.is taken D.took( )3.A.a little B.little C.a few D.few( )4.A.for B.over C.through D. in( )paring pared C.to compare pare( )6.A.joining B.taking C.attending D.joining in( )7.A.why B.how C.what D.where( )8.A.whom B.who C.of which D.whose( )9.A.take up B.take in C.take pride in D.take on( )10.A.be adopted B.adopt C.allow D.be allowed(C)How many times have you complained, “There aren’t enough hours in the day!”?Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated from University of Cambridge, probably (1) . After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. It records her daily life on campus. Now she has more than 270,000 subscribers to her channel.In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In (2) , she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online.A similar case (3) college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1:00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week, the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day bypre-reading his textbooks at 6:40 am, and (4) a summary of his studies. When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule, he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.Both students’ hard work(5) certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates; and the Chinese undergraduate won (6) scholarship four years in a row. The two have something in common. They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as (7) into the schedule as they can. More (8) , they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.Some may wonder how they can (9) exhaustion, stress and burnout. White’s video Time Management & Organization Tips All Students Should Know may provide an answer. She advises to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. We should also kn ow how to avoid and release stress because, “Mental health is as important as our physical health.” To White, dancing is something she takes as a reward after completing everything on the list. Then enough sleep to rest her body and get ready to do a good job the next day.Indeed, things must be carefully planned before we act, then “(10) can be reached with half the effort”, as the old Chinese saying goes.( )1.A.agrees B.disagrees C.agreed D.disagreed( )2.A.between B.among C.all D.both( )3.A. was happened to B.took place inC.happened toD.was taken place in( )4.

The problem he has is how to (1) an artist once he g rows up.”This is both encouraging and discouraging: The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed. (2) , some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.Western educators have suggested that we (3) the thought of “STEAM” instead of “STEM” –traditional “core majors” including science, technology, engineering, and math –since the “A”,(4) stands for “arts”, is just as important. And on April 11, China’s Ministry of Education issued a guideline. Colleges and universities are required to provide more art-related courses and students need to earn a certain number of art credits in order to graduate.These efforts came after many scientific studies (5) that art education helps students (6) self-confidence and teamwork skills, as well as habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking, according to The Washington Post. It’s true that (7) of these skills target specific jobs. But as former US ballet dancer Damian Woetzel told The Atlantic, the purpose of art is “to give kids the tools to become adults (8) creative, adaptable, and expressive – capable of having their eyes and ears and senses (9) ”.And we can now see how we lost track of our born “artist self” on our way to growing up: We (10) to keep our capabilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults.
