2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解C篇汇编含答案
2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解C篇汇编一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模CWhere did that number come from?Eleven and TwelveThe reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from the German term ainlif, which translates to “one left”. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from twalif—“two left”. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.911 for US Emergency (急救) CallsEarly phones didn’t use phone numb ers—the operator had to connect your call by hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed. In 1967, 911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency call because it was easy to remember and could be quickly dialed (拨) on the phone.26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)The story began with an ancient Greek soldier ca rrying message from a battlefield (战场) in Marathon to Athens. The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium, with runners finishing only after passing the royal (皇室的) box. The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km). And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.28 Days in FebruaryBefore using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.48. Which language do eleven and twelve come from?A. English.B. German.C. French.D. Russian.49. When was the number 911 chosen for US emergency calls?A. In 1896.B. In 1908.C. In 1924.D. In 1967.50. The marathon distance was made longer at London Olympic Games because ______.A. the British was a little weak in mathsB. the British didn’t like the Greek storyC. the British loved the royal family very muchD. the British wanted to make the race different51. How many days were there in each month after the king improved the old calendar?A. 28, 29 or 31.B. 28, 30 or 31.C. 28, 29 or 30.D. 29, 30 or 31.二、北京市顺义区2015年中考一模英语CComets(彗星) are parts of our solar system（太阳系）.Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. Acomet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people callcomets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. Butwhen the sun heats the “snowball,” much of i t is changed togases. The gases spread out and form the comet’s head,which may be thousands of miles across.* * *A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But whenwe see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s becauseit 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 rush 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 onlyonce. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity（重力、引力）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.54. 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.55. According to the passage, some comets have been “captured by the sun.” What does the underlined phrase mean?A. The comets are rushing into the sun.B. The comets have been brightened by the sun.C. The comets are stuck in the sun’s gravity.D. The comets have been burned by the sun’s heat.56. 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.57. 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 encourage readers to look for comets.三、北京市燕山2015年中考一模CIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth. “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with asmile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next si x drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random (随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed (使某人印象深刻) her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman saw the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d ta ken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, saying that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence (暴力) can build on itself.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been encouraged to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!48. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She had seven tickets.B. She hoped to please others.C. She wanted to show kindness.D. She knew the car drivers well.49. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ___ .A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom50. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.四、东城区2015中考一模试题CAlexis Martin is a three-year-old girl from Arizona. She hasn’t started kindergarten(幼儿园)yet, but she has an IQ above 160, which is well above the average (一般的)people’s IQ. So, th ere is no wonder that sh e has become the youngest member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Mensa is an international club whose members must have an IQ score in the top 2% of the world. Currently, Mensa has 3,300 members under the age of18 in the U.S. Alexis is one of them.The average people generally have an IQ score of 100 points, but Alexis scored 160 points, the highest score on the test. The doctors who tested Alexis said she scored so high that they couldn’t even work out her IQ exactly. They think she is even smarter than 99.9% ofthe world population. Actually, she matched the IQs of talents like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.Ian Martin, Alexis’ father, said his daughter showed signs of some special abilities at the age of one and she began reading books for pupils when she was ju st two years old. Now at the age of three, Alexis is reading on a fifth gradelevel.“From 12 months old, we’d be driving around in the car and sh e would repeat her bedtimestories from the night bef ore,”he said. “She didn’t just repeat them. She could remember every word of them exactly.”Ian Martin thinks his daughter also stands out when it comes to learning new languages. “Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything. She never ever uses it i n the incorrect situation, ever.”Ian said.While Alexis’s parents are proud that their three-year-old daughter has become a member in Mensa, they are also aware of the price that comes with every gift. The doctors say Alexis should never attend a normal school and children with her level of intelligence(智力) often experience high anxiety(焦虑) unless they’re around similarly gifted boys and girls. Her parents decide to follow the advice and try to look for proper ways to help her get involved into society.48. Mensa only accepts ____________.A. teenagers under 18 in the U.S.B. people with IQs above 160 in the U.S.C. talents in the world like Albert EinsteinD. people withIQs in the top 2% of the world49. From the passage, we know that Alex is’ IQ is____________.A. getting higher through trainingB. beyond the limit of the IQ testC. above the IQ of Stephen HawkingD. growing too fast to get an exact score50. One of Alexis’ special abilities is that____________.A. she could read stories at the age of oneB. she could write books for pupils at the age of twoC. she canremember every word of what her parents saidD. she can learn new words quickly and use them properly51. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Alexis is sure to experience anxiety in the future.B. Alexis’parents can’t afford the gift that she chooses.C. Alexis’parents won’t be able to find her a normal school.D. Alexis may feel it hard to get along with the average people.五、海淀区2015中考英语一模CNeed to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this. “They think, ‘I don’t need to drive, and the business doesn’t need to build a store, so there will be less pollution,’” says NuriaProst, an environmental scientist. “But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.”In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by 33 percent between 1986 and 1997. “Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,” says Nevil Cohen, a professor of environmental science.Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide (CO2). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are al so a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.“If people want to protect the environment,they need to think before they shop,” says Prost. “People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?” Online stores can also charge（收费）customers for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. “Online shopping is fast and easy,” says Prost, “but we can’t forget the negative effects it has on the environment.”48. Why does online shopping create a lot of waste?A. Because companies charge more for product returns.B. Because people buy too many things they don’t need.C. Because paper use has increased by 33 percent from 1986 to 1997.D. Because large, heavy products require much packing material.49. What do companies do to meet the needs of the next-day delivery?A. Prepare more products.B. Get more workers to pack.C. Send the products by air.D. Open more stores in cities.50. Prost probably agrees that ______.A. people should drive to stores to buy thingsB. online shopping adds pollution to the environmentC. online shopping saves more than shopping in a storeD. people can buy things online without careful consideration51. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to Make?B. A Different Lifestyle to Keep?C. A Cleaner Way to Shop?D. A New Business to Start?六、怀柔区2015年中考一模CThere are many online food shopping sites. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Customers like to choose their food by its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered(递送) to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried or canned foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not. People may want to choose their own apples so they can take the ones that aren't bruised(碰伤)or the ones that look nice. Buying dried and canned food online is easier. A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market.Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites. There people can find most of the things that supermarkets usually sell. Other food websites sell different types of food. Some sell food from one part of the world such as Asia. Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets. There are also websites that sell sweet foods such as cakes and candies.The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day. People still need to be careful, though. They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it. It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from. It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration when they deliver food that should be kept cold. If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods, this is important.48.When people buy food, they usually __________.A. choose the colourB. don't touch or smell itC. go to different shops each timeD. want to see with their own eyes49. It is not so easy to buy________ online.A. CDs or DVDsB. apples or bananasC. dried or canned foodsD. books or magazines50. If fresh fruit and vegetables _______, customers will buy them online.A. look niceB. have a very good qualityC. make people feel comfortableD. have been put into boxes51. When customers get the food they buy, it's important for them to________.A. pay for itB. use refrigerationC. check itD. cook it七、门头沟区2014~2015学年度初三一模CLast week, my granddaughter started kindergarten(幼儿园), and certainly I wished her success. I was saying something that is not true. What I actually wish for her is failure. I believe in the importance of failure.Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or do something correctly the first time, which can often be a problem for the future. First-time success is usually a fluke(侥幸). First-time failure, in fact, is the natural order of things.Failure means how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase(短语) describing a good cook as “she who has broken many bowls”. If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen and have broken a lot of bowls, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had a dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much their failures gave them.My younger daughter is a dancer. She spent three years getting ready for an act. She did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change the act—but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored; and if she was bored, she couldn’t play well. So she changed the act. She risked failure in order to feed her heart.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is better next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a lesson you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can t ell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.48. What did the writer really wish for her granddaughter in the kindergarten?A. Success.B. Failure.C. Kindness.D. Care.49. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. what “a good cook” meansB. a cook should often cookC. a cook must break many bowlsD. failure means how we learn50. Why did the younger daughter change the act?A. Because she didn’t do well in it.B. Because she was asked to change it.C. Because she wanted to feed her heart.D. Because she wanted to try a failure.51. What does the writer hope to tell the granddaughter?A. Failure is a good thing.B. She can’t fail any more.C. Failure is not the end of the world.D. Success is the end of the world.八、平谷区2014-2015学年度初三一模CYou probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high. Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while, it's okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.49. We shouldn't turn up the music too high because loud music ______________..A．is not enjoyable B．hurts our ears C．is bad for MP3 players D．makes us uncomfortable50. If we listen to music at a sporting event, ___________.A. it’s impolite to othersB. we’ll miss part of the movieC. we won’t know what’s going onD. the players will be angry51 . We should turn our MP3 off and put it away when ___________ according to the passage.A. we read in a library B . someone asks us the wayC. we’re reading booksD. a waitor comes52. The writer wants us to ___________________ by writing the passage.A. be polite at restaurantsB. respect our classmates.C. follow the rules of librariesD. have music manners九、石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷CSoap is more popular in liquid form than in bars in the UK – but there are good reasons to stick with the old traditional way of keeping clean, says GarethRubin.According to market research company Mintel, 87% ofBritons usually buy liquid soap, compared to only 13% who buy bars of it.solid soap is losing the popularity. But why do some people still prefer traditional solid soap?1. It’s what they’ve always known.Some people are just traditionalists. According to Mark Constantine, he thinks it’s always lovely when we’re using something that’s been about for 3,000 years. Solid soap has got a hugehistory and they’re very beautiful.2. Solid soap is more pleasant.Smelling a plastic bottle doesn’t feel very comfortable, while you can get bars of different textures and smells – some bars have sea salt, nuts, fruits or flowers in them for a bit of a surprise. Others come in beautiful or even funny shapes and sizes. You can tie attractive bars of soap up in silk ribbons (丝带) and present them as a gift to a loved one – the effect i sn’t quite the same when you do this with a liquid soap.3. Less packaging (包装) is better for the planet.All those bottles has to come from somewhere and go somewhere. Recycling can only do so much, whereas typically a bar of soap comes in a little paper wrapper and that’s it. If you care about the environment, you can even buy bars of soap without paper around them. “And about 60% of the cost of a bottle of soap goes on the packaging and the pump (泵头).” says Constantine.4. The bottles are a little bit difficult.You can hold a bar of soap in one hand and it works. With the bottles you first have to use both hands to unlock the pump, and shut your eyes to the liquid slowly dropping the sticky thing onto your bathroom floor. When the bar of soap runs down, you can still use it until it is no more, but with the liquid soap it is a difficult task to get the last drop out of the bottom.【】48. According to market research company Mintel, ______.A. solid soap is as popular as liquid soapB. more people refuse to buy liquid soapC. solid soap is becoming less popularD. solid soap is better for the planet 【】49. Compared to solid soap, liquid soap ______.A. has less packagingB. has a much longer historyC. is more pleasant in smellsD. has less funny shapes and sizes【】50. What can you infer from the passage?A. Liquid soap is not worth the price according to Constantine.B. A bottle of liquid soap cannot be a present for a friend.C. More people will buy solid soap without silk ribbons.D. It’s impossib le to use up the liquid soap in a bottle.【】51. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. People’s preference to soap is changing.B. Liquid soap is still liked by many Britons.C. The advantages and disadvantages of solid soap.D. The reasons why some people still prefer solid soap.十、顺义区2015届初三第一次统一练习CSome people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we h ave photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Pho tographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music.These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.48.According to Paragraph 2, photographs can give us __________.A. enough information about people and placesB. no information about thingsC. some information about things but not enoughD. the wrong information about things49. Newspapers contain __________.A. more information than televisionB. less information than televisionC. more news from other countriesD. less information about important events than TV50. What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?A. There are more interesting subjects in novels.B. We do not hear any music in a novel.C. Novels always explain what is happening.D. Novels make us use our imagination.51. What does the author think about reading?A. It is a wonderful invention.B. It is an important part of our lives.C. It requires no practices.D. It is not as important as television.十一、丰台区2014-2015学年度中考一模CLooking for an original way to raise money for charity? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don’t give up.

(共10分，每小题2分)Why is Denmark the “kingdom of fairy tales”? Because it was the home of famous writer Hans Christian Andersen. But there might be other reasons, says a new study.Denmark is the happiest country in the world, according to the 2013 World Happiness Report by the United Nations (UN). The report ranks（排列）156 countries and regions (地区). All the top five happiest countries are from Europe, and three of them are from Scandinavia.What makes people there happy? The UN considered several reasons.Money is one. We are happy if we have money to cover our necessities. But extra (额外的) money cannot bring us more happiness. People in Northern Europe know this. From cars to mobile phones, from clothes to buildings, their designs are quite simple. Luxury (奢华) is not there.Another reason is health. Nordic (北欧的) people have a healthy diet. They love fresh food. “There is not a big fast-food culture and no ready meals. We sit down with our families to eat our meals,” said Trina Hahnemann, a Danish cook.A harmonious (和谐的) social life also makes us happy, according to the UN report. How about Nordic people? They live in harmony not only with people around, but also with nature. Night life is not popular in Scandinavia. People go home after work for some quality（高品质的） time with family members. Many families have a backyard. Father and child spend hours there each week, planting flowers and building swings.Do you want to be happy? Think about the Nordic lifestyle, and happiness is in your own hands.61. Where does Hans Christian Andersen come from?62. How many countries of the top five happiest countries are from Scandinavia?63. Do Nordic people love fresh food or ready meals?64. What can make people happy according to the passage?65.

They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a peaceful and reasonable way. Some people are so angry that they shout or cry to show their anger. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压抑性的) anger.In the past many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it.They said that when a person is angry, the brain produces the same hormones(荷尔蒙). Their hearts beat faster, blood pressure goes up. In general the person feels excited and to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe if you express anger with wrong emotion, you may develop heart disease, and they believe if you keep the anger inside, you may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say we have to learn how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to agree that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself peacefully and reasonably.”Doctors say that the best way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.61. Do doctors say anger is very dangerous?62. Why do some people shout and cry?63.

There are lots of reasons why they do this—mostly it is easy to find work, because all the big companies are in the cities and they need lots of people to work there. When there are lots of people living and working in a city, they need things like restaurants, shops, hospitals and schools. There are more jobs that people need to do. There will be lots of transport in the city to move all the people around. Everything you want will be found in the city: government offices, museums and art galleries, cinemas, big restaurants and parks.Unfortunately(遗憾地) the city is much busier, more expensive, and more dangerous than the country. The air is not as fresh as in the country because of all the cars and trucks on the roads. There are so many people that are not as friendly—— you cannot get to know everyone as you do in the country, and people may get lonely. You do not have much room in the city——most people live in apartments——not houses, and they do not have gardens or lots of space, and because of all the people there is also a lot of noises.The country is much cheaper to live and there are less dangerous people than you find in cities. Perhaps the best thing is that you can have a big house with a garden and it will be very quiet, but there are not many jobs or services there. There are also not many shops, schools or hospitals. It is hard to get around in the country.Every person is different, but more and more people are choosing to live in cities because there are so many jobs to do there.

If so, you will find Being A Happy Teenager by Australian writer Andrew Matthews is useful.Andrew Matthews is a writer, cartoonist and speaker. His books have been translated into 20 languages. He has been on over 2000 radios and TV programs.In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.There are many topics such as parents and friends, and the book says we should stop being angry and forgive. The book tells us a lot of useful skills, such as how to put what you have learned into pictures of your mind to make your memory better. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam marks or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things. Success comes from a good attitude. If you learn from problems you will have success in the future.Some school boys have problems, such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about thing in a positive way.If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view at the movie; If you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom.This is Matthews’most important lesson—you choose to be happy.61.

He held a sign which said, “I am blind. Please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone walked by could see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Treasure what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.61. Did the boy need help?62. What did the man write on the sign?63. What happened after the man wrote something on the sign?64. Why did the man come back that afternoon?65.

Can you imaginethe flying feeling as you are pulled up to the top and then moveddown to the bottom quickly again?Today a Ferris wheel is usually 40 to 60 feet tall. That seemsvery high when you are on the top looking down. But the firstFerris wheel was 264 feet high –taller than a twenty-story Ferris wheelbuilding! Can you imagine the view from the top of that?The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago. George Ferris handed a drawing of a giant wheel that people could ride on. At first everyone laughed at his strange idea. But Mr. Ferris did not give up, and finally the idea was accepted. The ride opened in June of 1893. Today’s Ferris wheels have 12 to 16 seats, which each carry 2 o r 3 people. But that first one had 36 enclosed cars, each holding 60 passengers. When filled, it carried 2,160 people. During that summer in Chicago, about 1.5 million people rode the Ferris wheel.After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel. In 1904, it was moved again – to St. Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. After the fair there, the wheel stood unused. In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap metal (废铁). Luckily a Chicago bridge builder, W.E. Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together. In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today.But, whenever you ride one, reme mber that it all began with George Ferris’s strange idea!61. How tall is a Ferris wheel today?62. What was the first Ferris wheel built for?63. What did people think of Ferris’s idea at first?64. How many people rode the first Ferris wheel during the summer in 1893?65.

Unfortunately I do not have a car but I realized that Icould start carpooling.Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. As a result, carpooling can be a cheaper choice than public transport because everyone in the car shares the cost of petrol（汽油）. I recently did carpooling for the first time and it was very easy to find a driver. I used a website which lists drivers’ descriptions and found someone who was going to the same place as me. The descriptions provided a lot of informati on such as the driver’s first name, age and gender as well as reviews from previous（以前的）passengers. I decided to travel with a lady who had very good reviews. I paid for my share of the petrol through the website and planned to meet her in the town center.It may seem quite dangerous to travel with a stranger but there are some safety actions. Firstly, the driver cannot receive your money until you text him or her a code（密码）at the end of your journey. This means that if you are unsatisfied with your trip, the driver will not be paid. Secondly, it is important to read quite a number of the drivers’ descriptions and reviews when you choose a driver. Lastly, I would suggest travelling with a friend so that you will feel safer and less lonely.I had a very good experience carpooling. Not only was the trip very cheap, but the driver and the other passengers were really friendly. They were all French so I had the chance to practice speaking some French. As train and petrol prices are rising, both drivers and passengers can benefit from this cheaper form of travel. More importantly, carpooling provides a fantastic opportunity to meet interesting people on your travels.61. How did the writer usually travel before starting carpooling?62. Who pays for the petrol when people do carpooling?63. When can the driver receive the money from a passenger?64. To keep safe, what does a passenger need to do when choosing a driver?65. In the writer’s opinion, what are the advantages of carpooling?11.【西城】Our views towards life change over the time. When I was around five years old, I was in a car accident. At that time, I did not realize the seriousness of it and how lucky I was to still be alive. As I look back to think what happened on that night, I now realize how lucky my family members and I were to not havegotten serious injuries.The day of the accident started out great. My brother, Troy, and I had spent the night before at JoAnn’s house, with Heather, and JoAnn’s husband Gary. The next day we spent playing inside the house, because it was cold, windy and rainy outside. At night, JoAnn told us we were going out and that where we were going was a surprise. The five of us climbed into an old car, and we set off for our surprise. It was still cold, windy, and raining cats and dogs outside when we left. Troy, Heather and I sat in the backseat together happily. The next thing I knew was that everything was chaos (混乱)! The road was so slick (滑的) that the car lost control. Glass was flying everywhere, and it sounded like there was noise all around us. Then it was totally quiet, except for the sound of the rain and wind. Troy, Heather and I were all lying on top of one another. The three of us were crying, not knowing what had happened. JoAnn and Gary were trying to calm (使平静) us down and kept asking us if we were all right. Luckily, none of us was injured, just a few cuts. After that I only remember sitting there in the cold, dark night waiting for Gary to get back with people to help us. We never got to the surprise that night. But at least we were able to go home in one piece.After my brother and I got home that night, I remember my parents let us stay up as long as we wanted to. I guess my parents were realizing just how close they came to losing us that night. As I think of the tragedy (悲剧) that could have happened on that night, I realize how precious (宝贵) life is. I treasure my family and friends, and hope that we will share a loving, caring, and rewarding lifetime together. Things seldom go the way I plan them to, butI take a deep breath, try to laugh, and make the best of it.61.

A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:·Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.·Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.·Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.·Get rid of fear Fear comes along with failure. But it's easy to overcome （克服）if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.·Pick up a hobby If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.65．Is confidence very important in our daily life?66．How many suggestions can you get from the passage?67．Which can help you to be more confident, to speak in low voice or in loud voice? 68．How Can you encourage yourself?·69．What ‘s the main point of this passage?12.【顺义】13.【通州】When a letter appeared in the DEAR DOCTOR column(专栏) of a newspaper, the doctor’s reply was the following:Dear Mr. L.,I don’t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to the problem is the long nap(小睡) after dinner.If you didn’t sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you should be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didn’t nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your body when you get up in the morning. This helps explain the fact that you feel tired all day.You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, join some kinds of physical activity—a sport such as tennis, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good night’s rest without taking a pill.If you can get into the habit of spending your evening this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a warm drink. Eat a sandwich or a cookie. Then go back to bed. Even if you get only a few hours’ sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour.65. Is the letter written by a doctor?66. What’s the reason that Mr. L. can’t sleep well?67. Why does Mr. L. feel tired all day?68. What should Mr. L. do if it is hard for him to go to sleep according to the letter?69. What are the things that the doctor suggests Mr. L. not to do?。

2015（13区）初三一模英语---阅读汇编C,D篇1.【朝阳】CWhere did that number come from?Eleven and TwelveThe reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from the German term ainlif, which translates to “one left”. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes fro m twalif—“two left”. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.911 for US Emergency (急救) CallsEarly phones didn’t use phone numbers—the operator had to connect your call by hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed. In 1967, 911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency call because it was easy to remember and could be quickly dialed (拨) on the phone.26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)The story began with an ancient Greek soldier carrying message from a battlefield (战场) in Marathon to Athens. The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium, with runners finishing only after passing the royal (皇室的) box. The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km). And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.28 Days in FebruaryBefore using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.48. Which language do eleven and twelve come from?A. English.B. German.C. French.D. Russian.49. When was the number 911 chosen for US emergency calls?A. In 1896.B. In 1908.C. In 1924.D. In 1967.50. The marathon distance was made longer at London Olympic Games because ______.A. the British was a little weak in mathsB. the British didn’t like the Greek storyC. the British loved the royal family very muchD. the British wanted to make the race different51. How many days were there in each month after the king improved the old calendar?A. 28, 29 or 31.B. 28, 30 or 31.C. 28, 29 or 30.D. 29, 30 or 31.D“The world has never been a better place to live in” says science writer Matt Ridley, “and it will keep on getting better.” Read on to see how Ridley mak es his case. Right or wrong? You decide.Compared with 50 years ago, when I was just four years old, people now make nearly three times as much money, eat one third more food and expect to live one third longer. In fact, it’s hard to find any areas of the world that’s worse off now than it was then, even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown much cheaper. Take one example: In 1800, a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s, the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for. In 1950, it was eight seconds. Today, it’s half a second. In these terms, we are 43,200 times better off than in1800.In the United States, rivers, lakes, seas and air are getting cleaner all the time. A car today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks (泄漏) in 1970.Although the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world used up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlines—even though optimists have far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a story abo ut how terrible things won’t happen. Don’t be a pessimist—dare to be an optimist!52. Today, providing one hour’s light costs ______.A. 6 hours’ workB. 15 minutes’ workC. 8 seconds’ workD. 0.5 second’s work53. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. Things we used to need were much cheaper than they are today.B. The pollution today is much more serious than it was long ago.C. Population problem has nearly made the world stop developing.D. It’s not necessary to be worried abo ut oil reserves in the world.54. What does the word “optimists” in the last paragraph mean?A. People who are brave enough to face anything terrible.B. People who can always tell good things from bad ones.C. People who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.D. People who don’t easily believe what they’re told about.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Never Give UpB. Cheer UpC. Don’t Be SadD. Think Out2.【房山】CUsually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. The question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they c ome from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named Gorge Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler” ; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook.; someone who was called Longstreet probably on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other ear ly surnames came from people’s occupations(职业). The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron(铁) or other metals. The ancestors(祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses or furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color or their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English – speaking people add -s or – son. The Johnsons are descendants (后裔) of John. Irish and Scottish people add Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.48. According to the passage , a girl is named Helen Keller Jones because .A. her family lives near Helen KellerB. she loves Helen KellerC. her parents admire Helen KellerD. she looks like Helen Keller49. An English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest, their family name is probably .A. SmithB. CarpenterC. LongstreetD. Greenwood50. The surnames in the passage do NOT cover .A. places where people livedB. people’s educationC. talents that people ownedD. people’s occupations51. According to the passage , Jackie Speaker is probably .A. a person who runs fastB. a person who listens moreC. a person who has black hairD. a person who is talkativeD.Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face？The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image(影像) of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain put them together and you see a single image in the center.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working tighter, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth(深度) helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust(调整) to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width(宽度)—can be perceiced. So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2—D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting(猎杀) animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360—degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects.

A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth. “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another,the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead alreadypaid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator:“Practice random (随意的) kindness and sense less acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed (使某人印象深刻) hertollboothso much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman saw the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, saying that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was ina restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning itaround in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do itrandomly.” Her fantasies include painting the c lassrooms of shabby schools, leavinghot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence (暴力) can build on itself.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been encouraged to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!48. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She had seven tickets.B. She hoped to please others.C. She wanted to show kindness.D. She knew the car drivers well.49. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ___ .A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom50. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.DNo one else knew about the extra (额外的) club in Zach Nash's golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to win in a junior tournament (锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US.The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teenager.Fifteen —one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.If Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hope of breaking rules.Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves. Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strict rules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights. "It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank." So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score —he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said. Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.52. Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because________.A ．he was caught cheating by a playerB ．he decided to follow the rules of golfC ．he used another player's club by mistakeD ．he made a mistake counting his final score53. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passage?A ．In golf, honor comes before win.B ．Early golf players didn't care about the rules.C ．Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.D ．Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.54. The underlined phrase "teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means "____ ".A ．getting startedB ．getting caughtC ．leavingD ．winning55. What is probably the best title of the passage?A ．Zach's medal.B ．The history of golf.C ．Honesty counts in golf.D ．Golf is rich men's game.4.【丰台】CLooking for an original way to raise money for charity? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don’t give up. There are several ways to support your favorite charity and enjoy yourselves at the same time. clubs medalHow about holding a bean bath competition? “How does this help?”you may ask yourselves. Well, it’s very simple really- you agree to sit in a bath full of baked beans,then for every minute you stay in it, people pay money! The longer you stay in the bath,the more money you collect for the charity your school has chosen! It’s extremelymessy, but it’s good fun! Just a piece of advice, though. Let your parents know what you’re doing. Wear old clothes because they’re going to need washing after the competition!Here’s another idea that we used at my school: organize a car wash. Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed. So why don’t you and yourclassmates do the job? The money the car owners pay for having their cars washed willgo towards your charity. When we did it, we had an amazing time! At first, some of uswere worried about getting wet or dirty and it’s true. But we also had fun, and at the end of the day it was really worth it!On the other hand, if you don’t feel like getting wet or messy, but have some musical talent, how about organizing a street concert? Street musicians can make a lotof money and so can you if you’ve got the talent and courage it takes to play in front ofan audience. You just need to find a suitable place (make sure you’re allowed to playmusic in that public place), practise for a few hours with your friends first, and give it a try!I hope all these ideas have helped you a bit, and if you’ve got any other great suggestions, we would love to hear them. We can publish them, so other people can use them, too. Good luck!48. Holding a bean bath competition, you would______.A. ask yourselves many questionsB. sit in a bath full of baked beansC. put on old clothes after the bathD. ask your parents to wash the clothes49. What did the writer think of the car wash?A. He thought they could have fun.B. He was upset about getting wet.C. He thought many students were too worried.D. He thought it was an easy way to collect money.50. From the passage we can know the writer is a ___________.A. parentB. studentC. driverD. singer51. The writer writes this passage to_____________.A. ask readers to do something funny for charityB. tell readers about charity events they can go toC. suggest fun ideas for people to raise money for charityD. show some ways for people to organize charity eventsDFor me, Facebook is about staying in touch with friends, whether that means writing on someone’s ‘wall’or sending them a private message. It’s a useful website forfinding long-lost friends, arranging parties and sharing photos. But that’s not all:Facebook is now being used by all kinds of people for all kinds of reasons!Do you want to play computer games? Log on to Facebook. There are now thousands of entertaining gamesand puzzles to help you pass the time. Do you want to find cafés, cinemas and bowling alleys in your area?Log on to Facebook pages that you can join and ‘like’, which makes it very easy to search for fun things to do near you. I think it’s brilliant to have all the information that you want on just one website!People are now joining Facebook to make professional connections too, either with people who do the same kind of work, or with businesses that are looking for new people to work for them.It’s a pretty good idea since so many people use Facebook these days, especially young people! Even students log on to Facebook to look for summer or part-time jobs.And that’s not all! Now there are hundreds of pages about sports te ams, TV programmes and pop stars to look at on Facebook. However, I believe the main reason most young people use Facebook is because it’s so easy to let the world know what you think about different things or people, whether it’s abouta new film at the cinema or whether you prefer Rihanna with long or short hair. You can even writecomments directly on other people’s Facebook pages including some stars’ pages. But you have to be careful because giving your opinion online can be dangerous.We mustn’t forget that Facebook is meant to be fun and shouldn’t be used for saying bad things about people around us. I recently read a news article about a student who had to leave school because she made rude and unfair comments about a teacher on her Facebook wall. Several other school students have been in trouble for similar comments and opinions. In fact, it really annoys me when I see somebody has writtenIt’s true that Facebook is becoming more and more part of ou r daily lives for many different reasons, and it can be really helpful as well as being a lot of fun. But, as with all websites, we must be careful about how we use it.52. What does the writer think of the Facebook?A. It is easy for finding a long-lost friendB. It is dangerous for giving one’s opinionC. It is mainly used for business reasons these days.D. It is useful for finding entertainment information.53. Why does the writer think young people like Facebook so much?A. It’s a goo d place to read TV programmes reviews.B. They can have conversations about their interests.C. It’s the best place to find information about sports.D. They like having the chance to give their opinions.A. criticalB. privateC. unpleasantD. impolite55. What is the best title of the passage?A. The use of FacebookB. The information on FacebookC. The reasons of using FacebookD. The suggestions for using Facebook5.【海淀】6.【密云】(C)Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing(缝纫)or reading.After several months had gone by, I beg an to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible(可见的). Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings(缺点)? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(评判)someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.54.The writer was surprised that______.A.the woman was sitting by her windowB.the woman’s window was cleanC.the woman did cleaning in the afternoonD.the woman’s window was still terrible55.“It dawned on me”probably means“_______”.A.I began to understand itB.it cheered me upC.I knew it grew lightD.it began to get dark56.It’s clear that_______.A.t he writer had never met the woman beforeB.the writer often washed the windowC.they both worked as cleanersD they lived in a small town57.From the passage,we can learn that______.A.o ne shouldn’t criticize others very oftenB.one should often make his windows cleanC.one must judge himself before he judges othersD.one must look at others through his dirty windows(D)Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings’ expert care, will produce a good crop（收成）of oranges this year.However, Ed has to guard against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed is preparedfor the frost(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice around the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is taken in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.But Ed still faces difficulties. The trees must be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity(数量)of water must be used. Too much water can form a thicker layer of ice that will break the tree’s branches(树枝). Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat, so Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.Computer techn ology may help Ed with some of these worries. With equipment(设备), air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can calculate(计算) when the temperature will drop below freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently( ) the trees should be watered. Ed finds looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and, his customers will have the benefits(利益) of computer—age oranges.58.The passage is mainly about______.A. a farmer expert cares for his orange treesB.the different uses of computersC.growing oranges in Florida’s changeable weatherD.different ways of frost protection59.Ed tries to protect his crop by______.ing a wind machine to drive away the cold airB.equipping his orange trees with a computerC. watering it at the proper timeD picking his fruit at the first sign of frost60.According to the passage, the computer technology______.A.removes the need for frost protectionB.prevents temperature from droppingC.tells farmers why outdoor temperatures changeD. helps the farmer get a better harvest7.【怀柔】CThere are many online food shopping sites. This is very surprising. Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Customers like to choose their food by its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered(递送) to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried。

put onB.will put onC.puts onD.is put on【答案】A【解析】答案：A．put on，上演．根据谓语上演（"put on"）与主语它（"it"）构成逻辑上的动宾关系，因为正在写，所以上演应该是将来的动作，即一般将来被动的关系，表示短剧将被上演，选will be put on．--你在做你的家庭作业吗？--没有，我在写一部短剧，它将在圣诞节晚会上上演．熟悉每个时态的具体用法并结合具体的句子语境来判断正确答案．2.In order to keep fit，the old man makes it a rule _____ for a walk after supper every day．（）A.goingB.to goC.goD.gone【答案】B【解析】答案：B本题考查动词不定式作宾语补足语的用法．当动词不定式作动词宾语，同时带了补语时，要用it充当形式宾语，而将真正的宾语动词不定式后置，即动词+形式宾语it+宾补+不定式宾语．故选B．为了保持健康，这位老人把每天饭后散步作为一条生活规律．动词不定式是非谓语动词是一种，表示未发生的动作，用法较多．常用来作定语，主语，宾语，补语，状语等．3.---Steve，the vacation is coming soon．Have you found a summer job yet？---I suppose I can work at the boy's camp _____ I worked last summer．（）A.thatB.whereC.whichD.what【答案】B【解析】答案B．分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，"_____ I worked last summer"作名词"the boy's camp"的后置定语，先行词为"the boy's camp 指地点"，从句中不缺少主、宾、表等主要成分，缺少地点状语，应该用关系副词"where"，故选B．--史蒂夫，假期马上来了．你找到一份暑期工作了吗？--我认为可以在我去年暑期工作过的男生夏令营里工作．本题考查定语从句．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意分析成分，找出先行词和定语从句．然后分析定语从句中是否缺成分，如果缺少主宾表，要用关系代词（which、that、who、whose、whom、as），如果缺少状语，要用关系副词（where，when或why）．4.Sally was excited to meet Susan at the party last night．They _____ each other since they g raduated from Oxford University in 2010．（）A.haven't seenB.hadn't seenC.didn't seeD.don't see【答案】B【解析】答案：B根据句意可知，"她们没见过面"这一动作是发生在2010年大学毕业之后到昨晚之前这段时间里，即表示是在过去的过去发生的动作，要用过去完成时（had+done）；故选B 昨晚Sally在派对上见到Susan感到很兴奋，自从2010年在牛津大学毕业后他们就没见过面．本题考查了过去完成时的用法（had+done）．做时态题的关键是要根据句意提示，判断出动作发生的时间；由于本题指的是发生在过去某时间之前的动作；因此需要使用过去完成时．5.-We've only got this small bookcase．Will that do？-No．_____ I was looking for was something much bigger and stronger．（）A.WhatB.WhereC.ThatD.Which【答案】A【解析】答案：A．本题考查名词性从句里的主语从句，根据look for sth．可以判断出该句子是缺少宾语的，可排除作状语的B；that 在名词性从句中不充当成分和意义，可排除C；what 即可以充当主语，也可以充当宾语，Which作关系代词表示从确定选择对象中的选择一个，不符合，可排除．因此，选A．--我们只是得到这个小书柜，那行吗？--不，我想找的是更大的更牢固的．本题考查主语从句，要会分析句子的成分，并且掌握what引导主语从句表示的是一种内容，可在句中作主语、宾语或表语等．6.I will wait _____ 6：30，but then I'm going home．（）A.fromB.atC.afterD.until【答案】D【解析】答案DA项"来自，从"；B项"在…地点，场所"；C项"在…之后"；D项"直到""until 6：30"表示直到六点半，"until"用于肯定句中表示"做某事直到某时"，动词必须是延续性的．根据句子"but then I'm going home"可知，说明我会一直等到6：30，但是然后（6：30后）我就回家了．我会一直等到六点半，但是然后我就回家了．本题考查介词辨析．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意，理解每个选项介词的意思，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的介词．平时要加强介词的积累．7.Studies show that people who have a glass of wine per day do better than _____ who don't．（）A.thatB.the oneC.onesD.those【答案】D【解析】答案：D题干表示比较，后面的比较对象是那些不喝酒的人the people who don't have a glass of wine per day；为了避免重复，可以省略；要填的代词指代的是the people，复数名词；ones表示泛指．故选D．研究表明：每天喝一杯酒的人要比那些不喝酒的人表现更好．指示代词用来指定对象，即前面提到过的名词．分为this，that单数；these，those复数．8.Oh！I can feel something _____ up my leg！It must be an insect．（）A.to climbB.climbingC.climbD.climbed【答案】B【解析】答案：B本题考查感官动词和现在分词的搭配用法．feel sb/sth doing sth感到某人或某物正在干什么；题干中something与动词climb构成主动进行关系，用现在分词表示．故选B．啊！我能感到有东西向我腿上爬！肯定是只虫子．现在分词是非谓语动词的一种，用来表示主动进行的动作．学习时要把握特征，同时要区分过去分词，过去分词表示被动完成的动作．9.She doesn't speak our language，_____ she seems to understand what we say．（）A.forB.andC.yetD.or【答案】C【解析】答案：C．A项"为，为了；因为"；B项"和"；D项"或者；否则"；根据句意及两个分句之间的转折关系可知，虽然她不会说我们的语言，然而她好像能听懂我们说的话，因此用"yet 然而，但是"．她不会说我们的语言，然而她好像能听懂我们说的话．本题考查连词的辨析．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意，理解每个选项中连词的意思，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的连词．平时要加强连词的积累．10.---Congratulations！I hear you've won the first prize in the singing competition．---You _____ be mistaken．I'm in the dance class．（）A.mustB.mayC.shouldD.could【答案】A【解析】答案：A题干中前面说的是the singing competition歌唱比赛，后面说的是the dance class舞蹈班；be mistaken搞错了，可以知道句意表达的是肯定推测．故选A．-恭喜！我听说你在歌唱比赛中获得了一等奖．-你一定搞错了，我上的是舞蹈班．情态动词的用法是英语中常考的语言点．通常考查的方式有虚拟和推测，本题考查的是情态动词的推测用法，must一定是．11.If it _____ earlier，the printing machine would not have broken down．（）A.has been repairedB.is repairedC.had been repairedD.was repaired【答案】C【解析】答案：C题干中the printing machine would not have broken down是表示对过去情况的虚拟；对过去情况的虚拟，从句用过去完成时，主句用情态动词加现在完成时态；repair与it之间是被动关系．故选C．如果早点修，印刷机就不会坏了．虚拟语气是常考的知识点．表示对现在或将来的虚拟，条件句中用一般过去时态，主句用情态动词加动词原形；对过去的虚拟，条件句中用过去完成时态，主句用情态动词加现在完成时态．12.A public health campaign _____ the number of heart disease deaths by 80percent over the past three decades．（）A.had reducedB.had been reducedC.has reducedD.has been reduced【答案】C【解析】答案：C题干中over the past three decades在过去的三十年，表达从过去到现在的时间，是现在完成时态的时间状语，要用现在完成时态；reduce减少，后面接了宾语，要用主动．故选C．经过了过去的三十年，一场公众健康运动使心脏病死亡病例减少了百分之八十．现在完成时态是常用的基本时态之一．通常表达：从过去到现在的持续动作；过去的动作对现在的影响或结果．本题考查的是完成时态表示结果的用法．13.-How are you getting along with your German，Kate？-Oh，Mr．Black，I'm so tired of it．Maybe I should drop out _____ it kills me．（）A.when B.after C.while D.before【答案】D【解析】答案：D题干中从句it kills me它烦死我了，与主句Maybe I should drop

English in a high school for 10 years．（）A.teachB.have taughtC.taughtD.am teaching【答案】C【解析】答案：C根据句意可知，空缺处指的应是她以前的工作，现在已经不再做了，也就是说此处表示现在已经结束的动作．故用一般过去时；B．have taught 现在完成时，表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在并且还将持续下去的动作；用在此处不合句意；故选C---Rita，你是做什么工作的？---我现在是一家外企的职员，但我曾在一所中学教过10年的英语．本题考查了一般过去时的用法．做本题时，首先应熟练掌握一般过去时的意义及用法；其次要注意总结一般过去时与现在完成时的区别．parison may make something appear more beautiful than it is when _____ alone．（）A.seenB.seeingC.seeD.to see【答案】A【解析】答案：A根据句意可知，"when _____ alone"在句中做时间状语，动词see与它的逻辑主语something构成被动的关系，此处的意思是：当某样东西被单独看时；B．C．D．都不表示被动意义，因此应选动词的过去分词形式，故选A比较可以使某样东西比单独看时更漂亮．本题考查了动词的过去分词的用法．做本题的关键是通过句意判断出动词与它的逻辑主语构成的是被动关系，在句中作状语．II、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共3.0分)Appeal to

birthplace，with the intention of making the pilgrimage（朝圣）to Mecca…to leave all my friends，to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests．"So begins an old manuscript in a library in Paris-the travel diary of Ibn Battuta．Almost two centuries before Columbus，this young Moroccan set off for Mecca，returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers．Driven by curiosity，he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world，traveling through 44modern countries，three times as far as Marco Polo．Little celebrated in the West，his name is well known among Arabs．In his hometown of Tangier，a square，a hotel，a cafe，a ferry boat，and even a hamburger are named after him．Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years，but the urge to travel soon took over．In one adventure，he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultan-the Muslim ruler of Delhi．On the way，he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80men on foot，and two horsemen："…I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another，but God in his grace preserved me…"In Delhi，the sultan gave him the position of judge，based on his previous study at Mecca．But the sultan had an unpredictable character，and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave．When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China，he agreed．Ibn Battuta set off in three ships，but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore．A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships，scattering （散播）treasure and drowning many people and horses．As he watched，the third ship，with all his belongings and slaves-one carrying his child-was carried out to sea and never heard from again．After a lifetime of amazing adventures，Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world．Fortunately，he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages，allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys．40.What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the passage？______A.He had great interest in the Islamic world．B.He returned to his homeland to write a book．C.His journeys were less important than Marco Polo's．D.His journeys were very common for people of that time．41.The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because ______ ．A.Ibn Battuta had studied in MeccaB.Ibn Battuta had been a judge beforeC.Ibn Battuta had worked as a translatorD.Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries42.Which is the best title for the passage？______A.The Learned Ibn BattutaB.A Visitor to MeccaC.The Travels of Ibn BattutaD.Desire for Adventures．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】A 【小题3】C【解析】41．答案A 细节理解题根据第二段中"Driven by curiosity，he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world．"以及"He had great interest in the Islamic world．"可知伊本•白图泰的旅行是出于对伊斯兰世界的好奇，他对伊斯兰世界有极大兴趣，故答案选A．42．答案A 细节理解题根据第三段中"the sultan gave him the position of judge，based on his previous study at Mecca"可知国王赐予伊本•白图泰法官的职务是因为伊本•白图泰在麦加的求学经历．故答案选A．43．答案C 主旨大意题本文主要介绍了伊本•白图泰的旅行经历并赞美了伊本•白图泰举世无双的成就，所以最合适的题目应为The Travels of Ibn Battuta．本文介绍了旅行家伊本•白图泰，以及他在游历过程中的一些经历．最后在摩洛哥苏丹王的要求下，伊本•白图泰将自己的游历写成一本书，向世人介绍他那无与伦比的旅行经历．做阅读题时，首先需要通读全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次，快速浏览后面的题目，并结合问题到文中相应的段落去寻找答案；另外，在平时的阅读训练中，要学会找文章的中心段，或段落的中心句，并加以概括，从而提炼出文章或段落的主旨大意CCulture and CuisineThe United States is known for jazz and blue jeans．But travel to Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine （烹饪）and he's likely to answer，"McDonalds．"Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer，or something close to it．Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine，but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food，the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous-all the same-no matter where you live．True，many Americans are eating more varied foods these days，but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups，and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine．So what exactly is American cuisine？Well，to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture，meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat，dairy products，pork，beef and poultry．But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World，including potatoes，corn，pumpkin，sweet potatoes，and peanuts．The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep South．The South lost the Civil War，but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions-and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American，which is why we're pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation．That's right，grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah．Truth is，they never really left，but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants．In fact，a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience this extraordinary cuisine for themselves．Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that，say，Italian cuisine has，but it's amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly homogeneous times．43.According to the passage，American cuisine impresses people as being ______ ．A.dull and changelessB.rich and variousC.popular and deliciousD.disagreeable and unpleasant44.It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that ______ ．A.cuisines of other countries play a more important role in AmericaB.American cuisine has become increasingly lacking in varietyC.American cuisine tends to vary because of immigrationD.American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines45.From the passage，we know that grits and gravy ______ ．A.were cooked with new materials after the Civil WarB.are gaining popularity in the south of AmericaC.were more popular over ten years agoD.are seldom served in restaurants46.What's the writer's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America？______A.Concerned and cautious．B.Hopeless and doubtful．C.Positive and supportive．D.Critical and disapproving．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】43．A 推理判断题．由第一段的内容"American cuisine （烹饪） and he's likely to answer，"McDonalds．"Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm a fraid you'd get the same answer，or something close to it"可知，当询问法国人对美国烹饪的印象时，他们的回答是"麦当劳"，在美国街头询问任何一个美国人时，也会得到相同或者近似的答案，由此可推知，美国烹饪给人的印象是乏味的，一成不变的，故选A．44．B 推理判断题．由第二段中的"the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous-all the same-no matter where you live"可知，美国烹饪变得越来越一成不变这一事实让作者感到伤心、遗憾，故选B．45．B 推理判断题．由第四段中的"grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah．"可知，粗燕麦粉和肉汁在像查尔斯顿、萨凡纳这样的大城市中复兴起来，即粗燕麦粉和肉汁在美国南部受到欢迎，故选B．46．C 推理判断题．由最后一段的最后一句"Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that，say，Italian cuisine has，but it's amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed pop ularity in these increasingly homogeneous times"可知，时间将会证明"Low Country cuisine"是否能在其他地区受到欢迎，看到真正的文化珍宝又重新受欢迎令人感到很奇妙的同时也很鼓舞人心，由此可知，作者对美国"Low Country cuisine"的复活持支持、乐观的态度，故选C．本文是一片说明文，主要介绍了关于美国饮食的变化历程．人们对美国烹饪的印象是以麦当劳为标志的类似烹饪类型，美国烹饪的印象是乏味的、不变的．作者感到悲哀的原因是美国烹饪变得越发雷同，缺少多样性．粗燕麦粉和肉汁在美国南部受到欢迎，时间将会证明"Low Country cuisine"是否能在其他地区受到欢迎，看到真正的文化珍宝又重新受欢迎令人感到很奇妙的同时也很鼓舞人心．解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．DThe Enigma（谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents．Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4，000years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup．In18th-century France，wealthy noblemen wore large wigs （假发）of long，white hair to make themselves attractive．Today，people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance．There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive：beauty is power．Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money，get called on more often in class，and。

"The 13th of June, 1325, I left Tangier, my birthplace, with the intention of making the p ilgrimage（朝圣）to Mecca…to leave all my friends, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests．"So be gins an old manuscript in a library in Paris-the travel diary of Ibn Battuta．Almost two centuries before Columbus, this young Moroccan set off for Mecca, returning h ome three decades later as one of history's great travelers．Driven by curiosity, he journeye d to remote corners of the Islamic world, traveling through 44modern countries, three times as far as Marco Polo．Little celebrated in the West, his name is well known among Arabs．In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a cafe, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are na med after him．Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over．In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultan-the Muslim ruler of Delhi．On the way, he described his group being attacked in the open co untry by 80men on foot, and two horsemen: "…I was hit by an arrow and my horse by anothe r, but God in his grace preserved me…"In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, bas ed on his previous study at Mecca．But the sultan had an unpredictable character, and Ibn B attuta looked for an opportunity to leave．When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed．Ibn Battuta set off in three ships, but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore．A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships, scattering （散播）treasure and drowning many people and horses．As he watched, the third ship, with all his b elongings and slaves-one carrying his child-was carried out to sea and never heard from again．After a lifetime of amazing adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Mor occo to return home to share his wisdom with the world．Fortunately, he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to rea d about his unparalleled journeys．（1）What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the passage？________A He had great interest in the Islamic world．B He returned to his homeland to write a book．C His journeys were less important than Marco Polo's．D His journeys were very common for people of that time．（2）The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because________．A Ibn Battuta had studied in Mecca．B Ibn Battuta had been a judge before．C Ibn Battuta had worked as a translator．D Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries．（3）Which is the best title for the passage？________A The Learned Ibn Battuta．B A Visitor to Mecca．C The Travels of Ibn Battuta．D Desire for Adventures．19. Culture and CuisineThe United States is known for jazz and blue jeans．But travel to Paris and ask your averag e French citizen about American cuisine （烹饪） and he's likely to answer, "McDonalds．"Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer, or something close to it．Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets s tandardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is beco ming more homogeneous （同样的）-all the same-no matter where you live．True, many Americans are eating more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine．Grits and GravySo what exactly is American cuisine? Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting po t culture, meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy prod ucts, pork, beef and poultry．But American cuisine also includes products that once were kn own only to the New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and peanuts． The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep S outh．The South lost the Civil War, but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions-and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American, which is why we're plea sed to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation．That's right, grits and gravy a re back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah．Truth is, they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants． In fact, a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experienc e this extraordinary cuisine for themselves．Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine bec omes popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it's amazing and inspiring to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularityin these increasingly homogeneous times．（1）According to the passage，American cuisine impresses people as being________．A dull and changeless．B rich and various．C popular and delicious．D disag reeable and unpleasant．（2）It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that________．A cuisines of other countries play a more important role in America．B American cuisi ne has become increasingly lacking in variety．C American cuisine tends to vary becaus e of immigration．D American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines．（3）From the passage，we know that grits and gravy________．A were cooked with new materials after the Civil War．B are gaining popularity in the s outh of America．C were more popular over ten years ago．D are seldom served in restaurants．（4）What's the writer's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America？________A Concerned and cautious．B Hopeless and doubtful．C Positive and supportive．D Critical and disapproving．20. The Enigma（谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents．Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4, 000years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup．In 1 8th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs （假发） of long, white hair to make themselves attractive．Today, people continue to devote a lo t of time and money to their appearance．There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power．Studies s uggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as frien dlier．But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we s ee it．And our awareness of it may start at a very early age．In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs．The faces on the pictures had been rated fo r attractiveness by a group of college students．In the studies, the babies spent more time lo oking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones．The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers ．In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders a nd a narrow waist．According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women th at these traits-the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders-equal health and genetic well-being． Not everyone thinks the same way, however．"Our hardwiredness can be changed by all s orts of expectations-mostly cultural, "says C．Loring Brace, an anthropologist at the University of Michigan．Wh at is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another．Look at most Western fas hion magazines: the women on the pages are thin．But is this"perfect"body type for women worldwide? Scientists'answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies aro und the world．They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded over weight in Western cultures．For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives．But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another．Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard．Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beh older．（1）People's ideas about beauty________．A have existed since ancient times．B can be easily described．C have little influen ce on a person's success．D are based upon strict criteria．（2）In Paragraph 3，the babies in the study________．A were rated for their appearance．B were entered in a beauty contest．C were sh own photos of a group of college students．D were able to tell attractive faces from unat tractive ones．（3）The underlined word"traits"in Paragraph 4probably means________．A qualitiesB． C judgmentsD．（4）We can learn from the passage that________．A the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up．B the search for beauty is rooted in lackof confidence． C the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches． D the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds．四、七选五21. Virtual （虚拟） TeamsVirtual teams are a great way to enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time．（1）________ This is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence，or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel．Virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams．（2）________ It is the way the team members communicate．They rely on special communication c hannels enabled by modern technologies，such as emails，faxes，and teleconferences，and alike．Due to more limited communication channels，the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on，what people are selected，and how the team is managed．（3）________ One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work．That is to s ay，when each person's work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the same m oment，like in a sports team，there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time，and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time．Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment．（4）________ Another important quality is communication skills．The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively．Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals，performance standards，and communication rules．People have various assumptions on what to expect from each ot her．（5）________One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members．Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivati on of each person in the team．The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence．A．Yet，there is one significant difference．B．Not every type of project is suitable for a virtual team．C．A virtual team can choose whatever project they like to work on．D．The members must be self-motivated and able to work independently．E．Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs．F．Members of virtual teams communicate quite well although they never meet face-to-face．G．To avoid misunderstanding，clear rules that everyone understands and agrees on are necessary．五、提纲类作文22. 你的美国朋友Chris目前在北京学习汉语，他对中国传统文化非常感兴趣．本周五下午你校将要举办一个文化讲座，请你根据以下提示给他写一封电子邮件，邀请他来参加．1．农业大学张教授讲解中国茶文化的历史和传播；2．讲座后有交流和品茶活动；3．你将陪同Chris并帮其翻译讲解．注意：1．词数不少于50．2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯．3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数．Hi Chris，．Yours，Joe．23. 假设你是红星中学2014～2015学年高二（1）班的学生李华，上周日你班组织到首都图书馆参加一天的文化志愿活动，请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，用英语写一篇日记，记述活动的全过程。

2015海淀一模The LakeThe day when Robert was born was the happiest day of my life. Unfortunately my wife decided she no longer wanted to be married to me. My little boy and I had to 31 , only getting to see each other every other weekend.One day, I decided to go fishing with my son, who was about 5 years old, at a nearby lake. We arrived at the lake early. Getting out of the car, we brought out all of the fishing equipment and our life jackets and the cooler that had our tasty lunch in it. I could just 32 the day in my mind in hopes that it would never end. We both went out onto the dock（船坞）and I thought, “Do I put his life jacket on first or load the boat first?” I saw him skipping rocks on the water, so I decided to load the boat first.I was just finishing up when I heard the splash. I turned and looked quickly expecting to see Robert 33 standing there, but I did not see him anywhere. I jumped into the water to save my son immediately. I searched and searched but found him nowhere. I came up for a breath hoping to see him above water, now wondering how I could find him in the murky （浑浊的）water. I finally decided to go all the way to the bottom and 34 around, not coming up until I found him.Finally, there on the bottom he was, his arms wrapped around the wooden pole that holds up the dock. I brought him to the 35 and put him on the bank. While both of us were coughing and spitting out water, I just hugged him and was 36 that I had found him in time.When things finally calmed down, I asked one simple question, “Robert, why were you 37 onto that pole on the bottom of the lake?” He looked at me with the most innocent and loving eyes and simply replied, “I was waiting for you, Daddy. I knew you would come to 38 me.”I thought that I could not be any 39 or any madder at the same time and I just told him, “I sure do love you, sweetheart.” He replied, “I love you too, Dad.”There is no amount of money or cars or jobs or any material thing that could replace being loved and 40 someone so much. I am lucky to have the ability to love on such a high level, and the ability to forgive on the same level.31. A. back B. part C. argue D. move32. A. picture B. enjoy C. show D. spend33.

Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen by far. Her body looked like a sausage. Her hair was too thin to 31 her body. Her eyes always seemed sur prised, and her tail was so short that it looked like a rat’s tail.She looked so strange that her 32 didn’t want her any more. She was brought to the centre. But I thought, “Minnie was kind and sweet. No one should laugh at her strange looking.” So I gave Minnie a good bath and 33 her in the newspaper: “Funny-looking dog, kind and sweet, needs loving 34 .”Later, a boy called me, but I warned him that Minnie was 35 . However, the boy told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted to keep Minnie very much. Hearing these words, I said that they could take Minnie away. I combed (梳) her hair, and gave her a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive.At last, an old car stopped in front of the pet rescue centre. Two kids 36 to the door. They put Minnie into their arms and rushed out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction (反应).Inside the car, the grandfather put Minnie in his arms and 37 her soft hair. Shelooked very relaxed and happy. “She’s perfect, and I like her!” the old man said. I was 38 that Minnie had found a good owner. Just at that time, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.After that summer vacation, I missed Minnie so much. So I went back to the grandfather’s house. The grandfather was walking in the garden with Minnie 39 the way. I could see both of them were happy. “Minnie is the most beautiful dog in my eyes,” said the grandfather, “I’ve 40 felt happier before!” Hearing this, I was pretty happy!31.

We saw a boy in old clothes and shoes. David looked around and smiled, hoping somebody would 31 back. Nobody did. He kept on smiling anyway.I held my breath, hoping Mrs. Parmele wouldn’t notice the empty 32 next to mine. She did, and pointed him in that direction. He looked over at me as he sat down, but I looked away.By the end of his first week, David was at the bottom of our school’s social ladder. “It’s his own fault,”I told my mother one evening at dinner. “He 33 even knows how to count.”As I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, however, I realized that David was very pleasant to be around. After lunch, I 34 that I would be David’s friend.One night, as Mother tucked me into bed, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is David’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything. Nobody even cares.”“Don’t worry,” Mom said as she kissed me goodnight. “I’m sure everything will be 35 .”At breakfast the next morning, I said I wasn’t feeling well.“How would you like it if your only friend didn’t show up on your birthday?”Mother asked gently. I thought it over for a moment and then kissed her goodbye.I wished David a happy birthday first thing in the morning, and his embarrassed smile showed me that he was glad I had 36 .By mid-afternoon I had almost decided that birthdays weren’t that 37 . Then, as Mrs. Parmele was writing on the blackboard, I heard a familiar voice singing the birthday song.Moments later, Mother came through the door with a tray(托盘) of cupcakes. She was also taking a 38 in her hand.Mrs. Parmele joined in. Mother found David looking like a deer in car headlights. She put the cupcakes and the gift on his desk and said, “Happy birthday, David.”My friend kindly shared his cupcakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk. I caught Mother 39 me. She smiled and winked(使眼色).David Evans moved on shortly thereafter, and I never heard from him again. But whenever I hear that familiar song, I remember the soft tones of my mother’s voice, the 40 in a boy’s eyes, and the taste of the sweetest cupcake.31. A. look B. smile C. wave D. call32.

It became 32 that I was not the best any more, but my parents still held on to their hope and forced me to try hard. To their disappointment, I became less confident and didn’t want to work hard because, to me, there was no point in making any more 33 if I was unable to be number one. My grades began to fall; I never practiced the piano; I 34 painting. It was all because my motivation(动力) to do anything had dropped much.When high school started, I was at a new school in a new city. I 35 to get back my motivation and start over. So I picked up my ever favorite hobby again and enrolled(报名) myself in the art course. 36 , our art teacher, Mr. Grady, gave us more freedom with our art projects. He would always encourage us to realize our potential(潜力).My first painting was simply a bee sitting on a sunflower. I made every effort, but still found it hard to feel satisfied with it. I knew it was not 37 and could hardly get a good grade. But I showe d it to Mr. Grady. He didn’t 38 it in a rush. Instead, he gave me advice which only motivated me to work harder on it. For the first time I was happy with the 39 of my painting rather than disappointed about its imperfection. I finished all the other projects with higher grades, but I hung the first painting in my room at the end of the term.My parents thought 40 me to be number one would motivate me. Instead, it discouraged me much when I was not number one, for I had gone to school only to get a grade, not knowledge, let alone progress.

The moment was gone.Dinner, baths and phone calls 32 the hours until bedtime.“Come on, Darla, time for bed!” She raced past me up the stairs. Tired, I kissed her and tucked her in.“Mom, I forgot to give you something!” she said.“Give it to me in the morning.” I said. My 33 was gone. I could hardly stay cool.“You won’t have time in the morning!” she talked back quickly.“I’ll take time,”I answered. Sometimes no matter how hard I tried, time was never enough.She wasn’t ready to 34 up yet. “No, you won’t! It will be just like today when I told you to look at the chicken hawk. You didn’t 35 listen to what I said.”I was too tired to argue; she hit too 36 to the truth. “Good night!” I shut her door in anger.Later though, her gray-blue eyes filled my vision as I thought about how little time we really had until she was grown and gone. My husband asked me what was going on and I told him.“Maybe she was not asleep yet. Why don’t you 37 ?” he said.I followed his advice, 38 it was my own idea. I opened her door gently. In Darla’s hand I could see her paper all crumpled (弄皱的) up.

2015年北京市英语中考模拟试题专项阅读理解D篇汇编含答案
一．北京市朝阳区2015中考一模D“T he world has never been a better place to live in” says science writer Matt Ridley, “and it will keep on getting better.”Read on to see how Ridley makes his case. Right or wrong? You decide.Compared with 50 years ago, when I was just four years old, people now make nearly three times as much money, eat one third more food and expect to live one third longer. In fact, it’s hard to find any areas of the world that’s worse off now than it was then, even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown much cheaper. Take one example: In 1800, a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s, the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes’work to pay for. In 1950, it was eight seconds. Today, it’s half a second. In these terms, we are 43,200 times better off than in1800.In the United St ates, rivers, lakes, seas and air are getting cleaner all the time. A car today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks (泄漏) in 1970.Although the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world use d up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlines—even though optimists have far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a story about how terrible things won’t happen. Don’t be a pessimist—dare to be an optimist!52. Today, providing one hour’s light costs ______.A. 6 hours’ workB. 15 minutes’ workC. 8 seconds’ workD. 0.5second’s work53. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. Things we used to need were much cheaper than they are today.B. The pollution today is much more serious than it was long ago.C. Population problem has nearly made the world stop developing.D. It’s not necessary to be worried about oil reserves in the world.54. What does the word “optimists” in the last paragraph mean?A. People who are brave enough to face anything terrible.B. People who can always tell good things from bad ones.C. People who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.D. People who don’t easily believe what they’re told about.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. N ever Give UpB. Cheer UpC. Don’t Be SadD. Think Out（D）52. D 53. D 54. C 55. B二． 2015年顺义区初三第一次模拟练习DLanguages keeps evolving（进化、发展）, and English is no exception. It is a language thatembraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow.There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time. OK, which has become the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example.But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thing?Writing in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK: The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word, writes: “What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion.”For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch?”you can simply respond “OK”. There you go – no extra opinions. Just straight, plain old OK.So just where did this rather curious expression come from? The origins of OK have been widely disputed (辩论，争论). Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product.Speakers of many different language s have had their say on this question, keen to claim the term as their own.Writing an article for London’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states: ‘O and K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(缩写) OK.” For example: French –“O qu-oui”, “yes indeed”; German –“Ohne Korrektur”, “ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla”, “all good”.But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little expression?Apparently not.In a speech wh ere he stated that his election (当选) would not be aradical (激进的) result to all problems, President Obama said: “… eventhough I am president…, AI-Qaida is still a threat(威胁) and that wecannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got electedas president, suddenly everything’s going to be OK,” he said.So, there you go, straight from the president. It’s OK to say OK, and thanks to the expression’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere.58. Using the example of Obama, the author wants to show that________.A. there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-QaidaB. Obama likes to use OK when he speaksC. OK is widely used even on formal occasionsD. the use of OK is encouraged in formal speech59. According to Allen Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement, which ofthe following opinions is true?A. It is easiest way to say.B. It doesn’t need emotion.C. It is the most commonly used.D. It doesn’t use in the formal speech.60. What is the best title for the passage?A．Why OK is OK everywhere? B．It’s OK to say OK in the world.C．Where did OK come from? D．Everything is going to be OK.8．C 59．B 60．A三．北京市燕山2015年中考一模DNo one else knew about the extra (额外的) club in Zach Nash's golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to win in a junior tournament (锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US.The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by hisclubs country club to share the news, a professional player noticed somethingwrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teena ger.medalFifteen—one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.If Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hope of breaking rules.Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves.Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strict rules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights."It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said.Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.52.Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because________.A．he was caught cheating by a playerB．he decided to follow the rules of golfC．he used another player's club by mistakeD．he made a mistake counting his final score53. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passage?A．In golf, honor comes before win.B．Early golf players didn't care about the rules.C．Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.D．Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.54. The underlined phrase "teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means "____ ".A．getting started B．getting caught C．leaving D．winning 55. What is probably the best title of the passage?A．Zach's medal. B．The history of golf.C．Honesty counts in golf. D．Golf is rich men's game. 52—55 BAAC四．东城区2015届中考一模DIt is an argument that has div ided the East and the West for centuries: Are chopsticks better than the knife and fork, or vice versa? Now the winner may finally be decided, on environmental ground.Chopsticks are made from a variety of materials, but bamboo and wood chopsticksare more popular. They are usually cheaper, lower in temperature conduction and provide better sense for holding food. That’s why almost all disposable (一次性的) chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood. With cutting down 25 million fully-grown trees a year to make chopsticks, China has ranked number one among the producers. “We must change our habitsand encourag e people to take their own chopsticks when eating out,” said Mr. Bo, the owner of a forestry industry company in China. He even wentso faras to suggest that restaurants should offer metal knives and forks instead. If Mr. Bo’s suggestion is widely accepted, it would be a dark moment in chopsticks’ 4,000-year history.Chopsticks were invented in ancient China and later spread around Asia. They are not only used as eating tools but also used for cooking, stirring the fire and serving food. Koreans sometimes use metal chopsticks because of their love of barbecue (烧烤). Chinese chopsticks are longer than Korean and Japanese chopsticks in order to reach the dishes in the center of the table. There are 1.4 billion people using 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks in China every year. However, the most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is in Japan. Around a total of 24 billion pairs are used in Japan each year, which means each Japanese uses almost 200 pairs yearly. However, most of its disposable chopsticks have been imported (进口) from China, up to over90%.Today, China has to accept the truth that its forests can no longer provide enough chopsticks to feed Asian’s table habit. China is now the world’s largest importer of wood and even imports chopsticks from America. An American company said that the state’s native sweet gum and poplar wood would be perfectly used to make chopsticks. These materials do not need to be lightened with chemicals or bleach (漂白粉). The healthy materials and fairly reasonable prices of the products are appealingto Asian customers. More and more Asians start to use American-made chopsticks at their tables.Although the U.S. has a huge amount of wood, which reduces the number of trees that are cut down in Asia, changing the table habit of using disposable chopsticks still seems to be a wiser choice for chopsticks-using countries.52. According to Paragraph 2, Mr. Bo’s advice is that Chinese should ____________.A. use metal chopsticks instead of wooden onesB. plant more trees and produce fewer chopsticksC. form the habit of taking t heir own chopsticks when eating outD. change their habits and begin to use knives and forks a t home53. What do we know about chopsticks in Asia?A. Koreans mainly use chopsticks to cook food over a fire.B. Most disposable chopsticks in Japan are made in China.C. The most disposable chopsticks are used in Japan yearly.D. Chinese use the shortest chopsticks to take and serve food.54. The underlined word “appealing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______A. normalB. necessaryC. attractiveD. surprising55. What’s the best title for the pass age?A. Time to Change the Materials for ChopsticksB. Time to Cut Down on Disposable ChopsticksC. Time to Import Disposable ChopsticksD. Time to Give UpUsing Chopsticks52-55 CＢＣＢ五．房山区2015年中考一模DHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes inwhat it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye se es the same object a bit to the left.Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth（深度）helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust （调整)to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width（宽度）—can be perceived.So if you see with one eye, you will geta2-D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting（猎杀）animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, anim als that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopicsight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocularsight, humansand hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and tojudge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.52. In Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.A. tell us how our two eyes workB. show the importance of eyesC. compareour eyes with camerasD. suggest using two eyes properly53.The underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 3means________.A. setB. takenC. seenD. made54. In the last paragraph, the writerthinks that “seeing in stereo” ______.A. is similar to the way a cameraworksB. is an ability humans are lucky to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals55. What is probably the best title for this passage?A. Seeing in StereoB. Protecting your eyesC. Treasuring your eyesD. Seeing with eyes答案：52. A 53.C 54. B 55. A六．海淀区2015中考英语一模D“You ex pect your friends to see you in a positive manner, but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death,” said Joshua Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences.Published in the journal Psychological Science, the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75 years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits. “Our study shows that people are able to observe and evaluate（评价）a friend’s personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road,” Jackson said. “It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their friends were, for the most part, healthy and many years from death.”While other studies have shown that a person’s view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks, there has been little research on whether a close friend’s personality evaluation might also predict the chances of a l ong life.To explore this question, Jackson and colleagues analyzed data（数据）from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid-20s. The study included wide-ranging data on participant（参与者）personalities, both self-reported and as reported by close friends.Using information from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates（证书）, Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants. Peer（同龄人）evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self-evaluations of personality.“There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self- evaluations,” Jackson said. “First, friends may see something that you miss; they may have some insight that you do not. Second, because people have several friends, we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality. With self-reports, people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counteract（抵抗）that because there is only one you, only one self-report.”The study also shows some gender differences in self-evaluation: Men’s self-evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans（寿命）, whereas the self-reports of women had little predictive value.“This is one of the longe st studies in psychology,” Jackson said. “It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health, and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person’s health issues.52.

A七：怀柔区 2015年中考一模DMost of us say that God, or destiny or whatever superior force that may exist in this universe （宇宙）is what makes us our future and guides us throughout our existence.I don’t claim there isn’t such a force that can guide us and take care of us, but the main element(要素) that helps us build up our future is our way of being. Our personality, our character, our way of perceiving（感知）reality and everything that surrounds us are what may bring us to the top, or opposite it, make us miserable.It’s simply your own choice if you don’t want to study, go to college or have a career. It really doesn’t matter if your parents threaten you, punish you or scold（责骂）you all the time. If you stick to be yourself and you think you know it all, then these are useless.You are the one who decides what job to have, in which city or country to live. It’s your choice and your responsibility. The moment you get hurt or something goes wrong, you blame yourself, and you start everything from the very beginning.You consider that you can’t find your place in your own country, so you risk the comfortable but modest（谦虚的）life you have with your parents and you go abroad. Maybe there will be moments when you can’t stand any more the loneliness, the strangers around you, or your job. But remember that nobody made you take that decision, so you have to take a deep breath, and then go on, as it’s very difficult to find a guilty person when you know it well that you are the only one to be blamed.If you fall in love with a man from the very first moment you set your eyes on him and you don’t want to meet somebody else, to see how they are, it’s your wish. If you get married and the marr iage ends in a year’s time, you can’t blame the rest as they all have told you to be careful and never to take hasty （轻率的）decisions.You play the Lottery each day and there are two choices: each you hit the jack pot and your life changes totally or you lose and you have to restart it from the very beginning. It’s known that if you don’t risk, you can’t win. So the best solution isalways to think over your decisions, and to see what they can represent in your future. Only afterwords is proper for you to make up your mind.You are the only architect （建筑师） of your future. The best are only workers who help you create your own dream.52. All the following build up our way of being EXCEPT __________.A. our characterB. our existenceC. our personalityD. our way of perceiving reality53. The underlined word “miserable” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”A. unhappyB. lonelyC. positiveD. careful54. Which of the following is NOT right according to the writer’s opinion?A. You meet difficulties when you go abroad, but you should take a deep breath and go on.B. You must think it over before you make a decision for yourself.C. You get hurt after you choose to live in another city, but you blame your parents.D. You cannot make too fast decision before you marry a person.55. What is the best title for the passage?A. Character Influences LifeB. A Good Beginning is Half DoneC. Stick to What is Right for UsD. Every Man Is the Architect of His Future答案：52-55 BACD八． 门头沟区2014~2015学年度初三一模DDo American children still learn handwriting inschool? In the age of the keyboard, some people seemto think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90%of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of howwell they are teaching it. One of this year’s studiesfound that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Someteachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts(专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility , which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency(流畅) —writing without having tothink about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these s kills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会). More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.52. From Paragraph 1 we can learn .A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching jobB. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingC. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingD. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting53. Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?A. Handwriting includes two skills.B. To write in cursive is taught first.C. The letters are repeated many times.D. The students are taught by practicing a long period.54. The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means .A. easy to readB. easy to writeC. unexpectedD. unreadable55. The best title for the passage is .A. How to Improve Handwriting in SchoolB. Right or Wrong: the Death of HandwritingC. Handwriting Involves Two SkillsD. Handwriting Lessons Are on the Way Out答案：52.

B九．平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练（一）DTo stop the childhood obesity epidemic(流行), health experts have long strongly advised parents to make healthy changes to their family's lifestyle—such as eating healthily, reducing TV time, exercising and getting a good night's sleep.These behaviors have been linked to a lower risk of obesity in kids, but researchers at Ohio State University were interested in learning whether their effect might be cumulative—that is, whether families who adopted(采用) not just one but two or more of these behaviors could reduce their children's risk of obesity even further.Led by Sarah Anderson, researchers studied data on 8,550 children in a national study, and found that indeed children who practiced two healthy lifestyle behaviors were slimmer than those who adopted only one behavior, while youngsters who implemented three beneficial habits were theleast likely to be overweight."If children had all three practices, their risk(风险) of obesity was 40% lower than children who had none of the routines(常规)." Anderson says.The three behaviors that Anderson studied were eating dinner regularly with the family, limiting the amount of time in front of the TV, and getting enough sleep. The children who were least likely to be too fat ate dinner with their families six or seven times a week, slept for at least 10.5 hours each night and watched less than two hours of television per day.The findings suggest that adopting these routines can be a powerful way for families to encourage healthy weight in their children, Anderson says.In addition, says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program, the routines are relatively easy for most families to adopt. "This is a beautifully simple study. It makes a very important point, and one that needs to be noticed time and again. These are all behaviors that are within the reach of us all."53. What does the underlined word "implemented" in Paragraph 3 probably means?A．Chose B．Supported C．Practiced D．Broke54. What can you infer from the passage?A. Anderson studied more behaviors than three.B. Dr. David Ludwig agreed for Sarah Anderson.C. It’s not easy for us all to adopt all behaviors.D. The more practices children had, the lower risk of obesity there was.55. Which might be the best title for the passage?A．Three Habits Help Kids Be Slimmer B．How to Lead a Good LifestyleC．It Is Not Easy to Be Slim D．How to Keep Kids off TV答案：53-55 C BA十．石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷DWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will get a general idea in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your feelings about other people, however, are really just show the way that you look at yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and may dislike those who have the same characters as ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to see more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. And, you can view the people you judge negatively (否定地) as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To live peacefully with others, you will need to learn patience. A big challenge is to let your judgment of others be a lifelong research of yourself. Your task is to consider all the decisions and judgments you make onto others carefully and to begin to see whether you can use them to help yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who showed objectionable table manners. My first feeling was to judge him as rude. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was nervous to be seen with someone who was eating with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was very surprised to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant judged me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as some kind of protective thing against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude, it does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, my patience to him would not cause me to suddenly begin eating my food with my mouth open.When you get close to life in this manner, those with whom you hate very much as well as those whom you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you dislike and to embrace your greatest characters you are proud of.。

2015北京市中考英语一模阅读B篇汇编含答案一、北京市朝阳区2015中考一模BSpam (垃圾邮件) mail is a fact of Internet life. Some of it carries bad things, but the main problem with spam is that it is unpleasant because it fills your mail box with pointless messages.Most email programs have built-in filters (过滤器) that will discover unwanted messages and put them into a junk folder (垃圾文件夹). You can make the filter learn what you consider to be spam or block certain senders.Avoid letting your email address appear on websites—spammers search the Internet for email addresses. Be careful who you give your email address to, and if you need to send out several copies of an email, use blind copy instead to cover the other people’s addresses.Delete (删除) spam emails without opening them. Signs of possible spam are bad spelling in email headers, strange sender addresses, or emails sent at unusual hours. If you do open a spam mail, never reply to it or click on any pictures it may have.If you receive an unexpected email pretending (伪装) to come from your bank, credit card company or other suppliers, be very careful. If the email asks you to reply, don’t do it! Instead, call up these places or visit their websites.Consider setting up a second email address and keep one address for your personal use and another for your online communication.44.

These stories often have a lesson to teach, too. Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.Canned Food and the Can Opener—Get It Right!Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal to cut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular.Frozen Food—A Little Good Luck Can Help!Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to如e Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container (容器) of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time.Air Conditioning—One Answer to Two Problems!Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world!44. When was canned food invented?A. In 1810.B.

However, putting your feet on the table, using iPads, eating and drinking may also take place in school. Americans are famous for their casual (随意的)style. I didn’t think it was a big deal until I arrived here.I was told sitting still is what you should do in middle school. That is a traditional Chinese way to show that we are paying attention to what the teacher is saying. Meanwhile, it doesn’tseem to matter in the US. When I first saw a student lying on a sofa, I was shocked and thought the teacher may feel angry, but she didn’t. She just smiled and kept talking. Then I got used to it, and enjoyed the relaxing and comfortable position (姿势) in class. Yet it’s really easy to fall asleep if I feel too comfortable.Also, we don’t have uniforms at school. We can wear whatever we want. And teenagers here feel free to eat breakfast, snacks, and drink soda while teachers are talking. Teachers won’t feel upset and may even eat with them. Once, my English teacher was secretly eating a bag of chips in her seat.American teachers chat with students in class. It makes us feel closer to them. Although it does mean we go off topic easily.

A九、平谷区2014-2015学年度初三统练（一）BSometimes people call ours a "throwaway society". That means that we're always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn't like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That's one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It's also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.Here arc some other ways to help the society save resources (资源):★Use the other side of the paper so that less trees are cut down.★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.★Take your own cloth shopping bags instead of using the plastic bags that are offered when you go shopping. ★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.45. What does “throwaway society” mean according to the passage?A. we don’t like old things.B. we don’t buy new things.C. we’re always throwing away old things.D. we’re always throwing away old thi ngs and buying new ones.46.

It's good for us to throw away old things and buy new ones.D. We are supposed to give the things we no longer need to our neighbors.48. What should we do in our daily life after reading the passage?A. Try to throw as few old things as we can.B. Use as many disposable things as possible.C. Drink bottled water even though there is tap water around.D. Buy everything we need instead of exchanging them with others.答案：45-48 DDCA十、石景山区2015年初三英语一模试卷BAmerican English is full of colorful expressions. One such expression is to touch all bases.There are four bases in baseball – first, second, third and home plate. When a baseball player hits the ball, he must run to each base – in order – and touch it with his foot. It is the only way to get a point. If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases, the point will not be counted.The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball seasons.Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team. He was trying to find the record for hitting the most home runs (全垒打). Aaron needed just one home run to be well matched with the record held by Babe Ruth, the greatest hitter in baseball history. Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball. That gave him 714 home runs – the same as Babe Ruth. After that day, baseball fans held their breath every time when it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit. When would he hit home run number 715?The wait was not long. In the second week of the season, Aaron again hit the ball over the wall. He had b eaten Babe Ruth’s record. But first, he had to run around the four bases. The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one.So, to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity.The expression is used to business and politics. No business deal or political events are really complete until you discuss all the problems involved. Or, as it is said, until you touch all bases.【】44.

All the waste matter even turns into a lot of dry crumbs. The toilet can be dropped into any trash can at any time.Phil tested his invention while on a two-week vacation with his wife and four young kids. He said that the kids loved it.

During summer vacations, I would volunteer at the pet rescue (救助) centre, so I could see a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen by far. Her body looked like a sausage.

I hurried behind them to see his reaction (反应).Inside the car, the grandfather put Minnie in his arms and 37 her soft hair. Shelooked very relaxed and happy. “She’s perfect, and I like her!” the old man said. I was 38 that Minnie had found a good owner. Just at that time, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.After that summer vacation, I missed Minnie so much. So I went back to the grandfather’s house. The grandfather was walking in the garden with Minnie 39 the way. I could see both of them were happy. “Minnie is the most beautiful dog in my eyes,” said the grandfather, “I’ve 40 felt happier before!” Hearing this, I was pretty happy!31.
