Later people used dogs for hunting(打猎) of other animals, and the dog didn't eat what they got until their master(主人) agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. They keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is the best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn't have her own.

It's important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order , the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change between the two pairs of sentences:"She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples.""I have seen the film already." "I have already seen the film."When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.( )1.From the passage we know that when we are learning English.A. we shouldn't put every word into our languageB. we should look up every word it the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own language( )2.We can learn from the passage that .A. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be differentB. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning( )3.

A good reader doing research reading in the library may read at the speed of 1,000 words per minute as he looks for materials for a report. But once he finds something that is useful to him, hemay need to slow down to 100 WPM . A good reader may read newspaper and magazine articles at 600 WPM .

"Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. "It's cool." You may think,"He's so cool,"when you see your favourite football player.We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words, such as "new" or"surprising".Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student's paper was just the one sentence,"It's so cool."Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool" I can. And I think they are also very cool.1.We know that the word "cool" has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningC. many different meanings2.In the passage, the word "express" means "_______".A. seeB. showC. know3.If you are ________ something, you may say,"It's cool."A. interested inB. angry aboutC. worried about4.The writer takes an example to show he is ________ the way the word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried about5.In the passage, the writer suggests(暗示)that the word "cool"___________.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colorful(五)C B A A C(六)Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended."That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral (道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is," said Cai Wenguo , the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating (作弊)happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas. "I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted (信任) me," said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11."Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators (监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed, 99 said Hua Sha."I don' t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed," Liu Qingxi said."I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want tocheck their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them," Shangguan Yuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ______________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in exams( ) 2.

If there are no invigilators, the students will certainly get lower marks.C. Exams without invigilators will never be held since students are not honest. ( ) 5. In the sentence "And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens" "they" refers to (指)_____________.A. studentsB. headmastersC. invigilators(六)C B B A C(七)Do you wish you had a magic gourd (葫芦), to help you get everything you want You may think twice and say "no" after you watch the planned Disney film "The Secret of the Magic Gourd"!It's the first project Disney will co-produce in China.

The meeting, the Sixth World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference (世界贸易组织第六次部长级会议), will be held from December 13 to 18.Poor countries say that the WTO's international trade rules are not fair. The rules allow rich countries, like the US and those of the EU, to give money, or subsidies (津贴), to their farmers. With the subsidies, farmers are able to sell their crops at lower prices.As a result, world prices go down. Farmers in poor countries that don't have subsidies get less money and even lose their livelihoods.Since China joined the WTO in 2001, for example, lots of subsidized US cotton (棉花) has been sold in the country. Cotton prices fell from about 6 yuan to less than 3 yuan per kg in 2001 and 2002.Every year, rich countries support their farmers with more than US$300 billion. During the coming Hong Kong meeting, poorer nations will ask the rich nations to get rid of the subsidies.Zhang Xiangchen, a senior official from China's Ministry of Commerce (商务部), said China believes that rich countries should end their subsidies by 2010.1.

We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.It’s always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you’re ina car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateb oard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won’t.It will fly through the air, hit the gro und and break.Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won’t go flying, it wi ll stay safely on the skateboard.Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts i n 1849.Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear the m.Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly —in less than one second —to keep the people inside safe.。

( A )Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life.

Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Is this a coincidence（巧合）, or is there some science behind this? Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.The best temperature for humans is about 22.2℃. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods.Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesn't love that?Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If it's rainy, that won't necessarily make us unhappy. We'll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!（1）According to the study, we may feel on extremely hot days.A. happierB. more boredC. more excitedD. more pleased（2）Warm weather can help improve our moods and according to the passage.A. sightB. memoryC. heightD. hearing（3）Why are people in southern California happy all the time?A.

We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.（1）From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer .A. is a computer engineerB. works in a caféC. uses technology a lotD. likes modern music（2）The underlined word" Recruited" in Paragraph 4 means" ".A. OrderedB. VisitedC. WantedD. Warned（3）In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time with technology.A. working on computer programsB. keeping the Internet safeC. inventing electronic productsD. helping people in need（4）What can be the best title for the passage？A. Online VolunteeringB. Internet OrganizationsC. Website DesignD. Online Translation6．阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The price of the coat was too high.B. John liked the coat very much.C. They often went shopping together.D.

Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. We should not judge people by their appearance.D. It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.7．阅读理解Stonehenge means "hanging stones". They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角）of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A. Stonehenge was made of stones.B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C. The passing of seasons can be seen there.D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.（3）The underlined word "accurate" in the last paragraph probably means "________".A. correctB. strangeC. hugeD. heavy（4）Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.A. touristsB. religious reasonsC. a burial groundD. telling the seasons8．阅读理解I'm sure most people like music.

人教版英语九年级全一册专题13阅读理解(C篇)(教师版)含答案
九年级期末题型突破13 阅读理解（C篇）阅读单选（C篇）一Smile Train is a charity (慈善团体) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a baby’s top lip or mouth doesn’t form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train.

人教版九年级英语阅读理解习题二(含答案)
人教版九年级英语阅读理解习题二（含答案）All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals can not make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don’t need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtail cats also come out only at night. Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats.Nothing is wasted in a food wed. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.1. Where does the energy that living things need first come from?A. Animals.B. Plants.C. The sun.D. Plant eaters.2. Why do ringtail cats come out only at night?A. Because they are afraid of coyotes.B. Because they are shy animals.C. Because it is very hot in the daytime.D. Because they can eat kangaroo rats.3.

It's a state of well-being, a pleasant or satisfying experience. Happiness is important to everyone. Happiness is important to everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here are some tips about the discovering happiness in your life.Allow yourself to be human. When we accept emotions — such as fear, sadness, or nervousness — as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Refusing our emotions, whether positive or negative, leads to sadness and unhappiness.Happiness mostly depends on our understanding towards the outside world, not on how much money we have. Mostly, our level of well-being is decided by what we choose to focus on and by our understanding of the things that happened. For example, do we see failure as the mother of success, or do we see it as a chance of learning?Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to do more and more activities in less and less time. Yet sometimes the more we expect, the more we will lose. Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.Remember the mind-body connection. What we do — or don't do — with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, enough sleep, and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.1.Do most people know how to find happiness?2.How many tips for happiness are talked about in this passage?3.What does happiness mostly depend on?4.How do we sometimes lose our happiness?5.What is the passage mainly about?答案：1.No./ No, they don't.2.4 / Four.3.Our understanding towards the outside world.4.Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.5.What happiness is and some tips about the discovering happiness in our life.（十五）What makes people happier: money, having happy friends or having happy neighbors? Scientists have found an answer as a part of a study.The new study found that friends of the happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves. And the smaller the distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each other's happiness.For example, a person was 20% more likely to feel happy if a friend who lived within one and a half kilometers. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased the chance of being happy by 34%. The effects of friends' happiness lasted for up to a year.The scientists found that sadness also spread among friends, but not as much as happiness.People who took three degrees out of separation still had an effect on a person's happiness.

I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining (抱怨) about it, three people appeared at my desk—a tired woman and her two children, a son and a daughter."Are you all sick?" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right."Yes," the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. The daughter had a fever, but her temperature was OK. The son had an earache, but he couldn't tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending (假装) to cough.Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. "Take your time, please," said the mother. I checked their charts—no address. All of a sudden I knew they were homeless while the hospital was warm.The family huddled (蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on this Christmas night. The nurses' station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency (急诊)".。

Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children - like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents - seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. A man's mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear; smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends.

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

I was going about 55 km/h.""OK, if that's the way you want it," the officer simply replied. Because the city speed limit is 50 km/h, I only got paid from my insurance （保险） company for the damage to my car, but the other driver's insurance company couldn't pay me due to my speed.

He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive （原谅） me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt.

"I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had.

They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角）of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A. Stonehenge was made of stones.B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C. The passing of seasons can be seen there.D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.（3）The underlined word "accurate" in the last paragraph probably means "________".A. correctB. strangeC. hugeD. heavy（4）Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.A. touristsB. religious reasonsC. a burial groundD. telling the seasons6．阅读理解This August, we'll welcome guests from all over the world.

So, a zero-waste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasant-looking zero-waste products to help people start on a zero-waste life journey."Zero waste" or "danshari" was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson. Her idea is: live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different kinds of ways to save the environment such as stopping the use of one-off objects; giving unwanted things to others orgiving them away to organizations like the Red Cross.Yu Yuan, 27, is deeply interested in this idea. She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years.

If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise.
