英语提升作业0205Reading 1My stutter (口吃) had always been much of a problem. I’d had so many specialists for my (35) over the years. As l walked down the hallway to meet a new one, memories popped in my head of how painful (痛苦的) being a kid who stutters had been. It (36) hurt.“Hello! I’m Mrs. Claussen. I hear you’re from Texas!”“Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am…” My heart felt like it was pounding through my chest and my hands were dripping wet. I really blew that (37).“Well, ” she said with a (38)smile. 1’ve always liked Texas. ”She turned out to be the best speech specialist I’ve ever had, not like those who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was (39). She spent the first several weeks just talking to me-asking me all kinds of questions about myself, especially my feelings. And she (40). She then began to teach me about the speech. Not just about my speech, but about everybody’s.I (41)in my old school and was a pretty good tenor(男高音), but I learned that the new school’s singing group was all filled up. It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well-and I could do it (42)stuttering. Somehow Mrs. Claussen finally got me in the group. I felt like she really cared about me as a person, not just a speech student.During the next two years, my speech didn’t get much better-except with her. When I was in college, things got worse. I once even wondered if I would ever be able to (43)! It was a very depressing time, and I often felt alone. When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs. Claussen had told me whether I could (44)my speech was all up to me. She had told me not to fight for perfect speech, just better speech.

Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing body checking (身体拦截) below age 13. A bad head injury of Sidney Crosby, the hockey’s greatest star, opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere. This country’s children have been facing similar danger at early ages, and Hockey Canada had to deal with a deep worry in the minds of Canadians to make the rule change. The liking for body checking from an early age is part of what makes Canadian hockey what it is.The change in rules should be taken as a chance to draw special attention to skill development in an environment free of danger. It may also control the loss of thousands of young players who don’t enjoy that environment.For years, many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have insisted that body checking at early ages is necessary to ensure that players can do it safely at older ages. True or not, there may be a safer way to teach hitting than to make younger players pay a price for it in head injuries. When USA Hockey changed its rules for the 2011-2012 season, it also created body checking-education programs that will be mandatory(强制的) for all coaches, including those teaching players in thepre-checking ages. And it began to encourage more “touch”-without real body checking-from 9 to 12. It also made the rules for 13and up stricter. The USA is trying to show that it’s possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting 11and 12-year-olds in greater danger. It’s worth the try.Hockey Canada has taken serious steps to do away with hits on the head. However, it’s hard to change a sports culture so connected with who we are as a country. Too often, body checking has been used to try to separate a player from his head rather than from the ball. Children were paying a price for this country’s love of the game.There are always changes in Canada’s game, and the change in the body checking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount (至上的) in the game.56. We can tell that the problem of body checking in Canada.A. is controlled strictlyB. is taken more seriously nowC. is caused by players’ carelessnessD. is connected with players’ interest57. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2?A. The safe ways of controlling the loss.B. The steps of drawing special attention.C. The possible results of changing the rules.D. The methods of improving the environment.58. What can we learn from the passage?A. The USA found a safer way to teach body checking.B. Body checking-education programs in the USA are successful.C. Body checking is a good way to value players’ skills in the USA.D. The USA has tried to create an environment of less body checking.59. What is probably the best title for this passage?A. Which is more important?B. How do we change the rules?C. Why is hockey a dangerous game?D. When should body checking be prevented?Reading 3Cities are taking interest in electric scooter-share systems as an affordable transportation to cut down on pollution and traffic jams. The electric scooters, which weigh between 30 and 40 pounds, reach speeds of about 15 mph.In September 2017, Santa Monica, California, became the first U.S. city to have an electric scooter-share service. Users find and unlock one of the more than 1,000 scooters with a smartphone app. A ride costs $1, and then 0.15 cents for each minute of riding throughout the beach town.Bird, the startup operating the scooter-share, picks up the scooters every night to them, and places them around Santa Monica each morning ready for people’s use. The company was created by Travis Vander Zanden, who once worked in Uber and Lyft, after he realized ridesharing services failed to help with traffic jams and air pollution. Since its September 2017 beginning, Bird’s system has served more than 50,000 riders who have taken 250,000 trips — more than half of which have been in the last month. It’s since expanded (扩张) to Venice, California, and some neighborhoods in Los Angeles and San Diego. Bird plans to expand to lots of markets by the end of 2018.Competitors, backed by millionaires, are appearing. Two bike-share startups LimeBike and Spin, have spoken of plans to provide electric scooters in cities this year.Electric scooters have also gotten the attention of Mayor Pete Buttigieg from South Bend. The city is interested in using them as a way to improve public transportation. South Bend was one of the first to use bike-share systems, which allow people to park ridesharing bikes on public land. “We love to be early pioneers, “ said Buttigieg. “If we work out the safety problem, we would be open to welcoming the technology.”“We need to make sure these new transportation systems are lawful and safe for users,” Constance Farrell, a spokeswoman for the city of Santa Monica told CNN. “We would like to see electric scooters continue to operate in the city. They are in line with our goal of multi-modal living and carbon-light living. ” According to Farrell, there have been eight accidents, including one with a serious head injury, in Santa Monica after the scooters rolled out. Users are required to have a driver’s license (驾照), shouldn’t ride on sidewalks or have other passengers on board. Bird has given out free helmets to some riders and tells its users to ride in bike lanes, but some users ride on sidewalks, and most U.S. streets don’t have bike lanes. “The global community of cities is going tohave to work this all out for scooters,” Buttigieg said. “They can move unbelievably quickly. That’s exciting, and a little dangerous.”30. Why did Travis create Bird company?A. Because he received support from millionaires and the government.B. Because many cities had electric scooter-share services.C. Because it is lawful and safe to use electric scooters.D. Because cities need better ridesharing services.31.The words “ are in line with” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “ ”.A. stopB. meet the need ofC. changeD. are ahead of32.What can we learn from the passage?A. Future electric scooters will be very slow and sale.B. Electric scooters will cause fewer accidents than cars.C. More cities will try to help with electric scooters service.D. Future traffic problems will be solved with help of electric scooters.33.The passage is mainly about _____ .A. the challenges of the electric scooter-share system in AmericaB. the advantages and disadvantages of electric scooters in AmericaC. the introduction of the electric scooter-share service in AmericaD. the future of electric scooters in public transportation in America参考答案：Reading 1: 35-37 ACC 38-40 DDB 41-43 ADB 44-46 CBDReading 2: 56-59 BCDAReading 3: 30-33 DBCC。

But computer injuries happen slowly.You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.Your eyesToo much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters（厘米）from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on （反射）the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.Your hands and wristsHand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules: 1）Rest your wrists on something. 2）Keep your elbows（肘）at the same height as the keyboard. 3）Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way. Your backSome people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel（平行）to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck.Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.1．A computer screen may injure your eyes if .A．you sit 60 centimeters away B．you remember to look awayC．your eyes are too close to it D．the window is on your left or right2．Hand and wrist injuries are caused when you .A．get plenty of exercise B．move in the same way again and againC．rest your wrists on something D．keep your elbows as high as the keyboard3．Your eyes and hands will be safe if .A．you work near a window B．you often take rests from workingC．you use a keyboard for a long time D．the window is behind youB14、The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理学) at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her workmates carried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writingtasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.In a more recent study, Ber ninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meanin g and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols(标志) on paper or keyboar d and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “_____” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to notice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the computer.”1．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words.B．Spelling ability is closely tied to writing ability.C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.2．What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Window. B．Emotion.C．Picture. D．Imagination.3．What can we learn from the passage?A．Computers can help people with their choice of words.B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.D．Spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.C15、When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale.There are labels inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes.The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water.The label on a coat may say“dry－clean only”. Washing may ruin this coat.If you do as the directions say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today must be dry－cleaned. Dry－cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry－cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well－made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.1．If you want to save money, you can buy clothes that ________．A．don't fit youB．don't last longC．need to be dry－cleanedD．can be washed2．The label inside the clothes tells you ________．A．how to keep them looking their bestB．how to save moneyC．whether they fit you or notD．where to get them dry－cleaned3．The first thing for you to do before you buy clothes is ________．A．to look for well－made clothesB．to see how much money you can payC．to know how to wash themD．to read the labels inside them4．We learn from the reading that cheaper clothes ________．A．are always worse madeB．must be dry－cleanedC．can not be washedD．can sometimes fit you better5．The best title for the reading should be ________A．Buying Less Expensive ClothesB．Taking Enough Money When ShoppingC．Being a Clever Clothes ShopperD．Choosing the Labels Inside New ClothesD16、In a US study, researchers measured (测量) the happiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).“People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and w orry,” says Dr. Toupey Luft. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的,积极的) relationships to your social circle. Here’re the suggestions:“Nobody is all positive or all negative,” says Luft. “But there are people you may feel more positive. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.” When spending time with others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. “But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,” says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, “Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a dat e.”“If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,” says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives.______________________________________. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.1．What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?A．How people you connect with feel.B．How many friends you have.C．What situation you are in now.D．What kind of friends you have.2．What does the first suggestion want us to do?A．To measure our happiness.B．To check people around.C．To join a group for hobbies.D．To leave negative friends.3．Which of the following is true?A．We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.B．It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long.C．Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.D．All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.4．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.A．when your friend is sad, you should call her upB．when your friend leaves you, you need comfortC．friends’ needs may be quite different sometimesD．people may behave differently during hard timesE17、Koala JoeyFar away in Australia, a koala sits high in a eucalyptus tree. She grips a branch with the rough pads and sharp claws on her paws. In her pouch (小袋) she hides something special—her baby.At birth the baby koala, called a joey, does not look like his furry mom. He is pink and bald（无毛的）and as small as a jellybean. Although he cannot see, he moves his legs and crawls. He smells milk and, without any help, starts to feel his way to his mother’s pouc h. Five minutes later he slips (滑) inside.Inside the pouch, the joey drinks his mother’s milk and grows. His eyes open. His ears form, and he hears his mother’s calls. Soon thick fur covers his body. By the time the joey is ready to explore the world, he looks like his mother.At five months old, the joey peers out of his pouch. He eats a special soft food from his mother called pap. When the joey eats pap, he gets bacteria（细菌）from his mother’s stomach in his tummy too. He will need the bacteria to eat e ucalyptus leaves, like grownup koalas do.In another month, the joey leaves the pouch for the first time. He clings（贴着）to his mother’s belly while she climbs in the treetops. By the time he is eight months old, the joey no longer fits in his mother’s pouch. But he still drinks her milk.Now, for a few hours each night, the joey climbs on his mother’s back for a ride. While riding piggyback, he reaches for eucalyptus leaves. Just like mom, he nips (咬) off leaves and chews them. The leaves have plenty of water in them, so koalas rarely go to the ground for a drink. When the joey is about one year old, his piggyback days are over. Now he climbs to the treetops by himself. On each of his front paws, he has two thumbs opposite his three fingers. He can grip branches and grab leaves.The young koala spends more and more time away from his mother. He no longer drinks her milk. He dozes (打瞌睡，打盹) alone on tree branches. Soon he will move to another tree and live on his own.1．When a joey is eight months old, it can _________.A．eats a food called papB．rides on his mother’s backC．sleeps on tree branchesD．clings to his mother’s belly2．A joey stops drinking its mother’s milk when it is about_______.A．one year old B．six months oldC．eight months old D．five months old3．Paragraph 2 is mainly about_________.A．the name of a baby koalaB．what a newborn koala is likeC．the size of a baby koalaD．what kind of fur a newborn koala has4．The author most likely wrote this passage to________.A．introduce readers about baby koalasB．tell a funny story about a baby koalaC．encourage people to protect baby koalasD．compare a baby koala to other baby animalsF18、During my elementary (基础的) school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom. Tiffany’s mom a lways gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was angry with her.Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”. I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tif fany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?”I burst into tears.My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Y es, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something.

He turned to his students and asked: “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”His students thought for a while, and one of them said: “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”“But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft man ner,” said the wise man.Students gave some other answers but none were any good.“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distanced,” the wise man explained. “To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”The wise man then gave an example: “What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are ve ry close. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”He looked at his students and said: “So when you argue, do not l et your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.”1．What did they find when a wise man and his students were visiting a village?A．A group of family members were shouting at each other angrily.B．A group of family members were playing there.C．His students were shouting with a group of people.D．A group of people were traveling there.2．One of the students thinks family members shout at each other because.A．they are not friends B．they lose their calmC．they don’t like each other D．they are far from each other3．What will happen when two people are angry with each other according to the wiseman?A．They fight with each other.

With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to get a quick fix and present the “best” pictures of ourselves to t he world.However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves. (1)Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies-Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. (2)The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell the lines between reality and fantasy. “These apps allow one to c hange his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. (3) In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of celebrities who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho told The Independent. “Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” ReneeEngeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website.Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good, I have my health.”1．What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media?A．Smoothing their skin in the morning. B．Using apps to edit photos.C．Wearing false eyelashes. D．Redding their lips before going out.2．Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearanceworries when it comes to how they really look.”?A．(4) B．(3) C．(2) D．(1)3．The fifth paragraph implies (暗示) that ___________ .A．people today focus (关注) more on how good they look than in the pastB．in the past, people thought highly of those who are good at celebratingC．social platforms help people learn about self-worthD．self-worth is related purely on followers people have4．What did the writer write this passage for?A．To call on people to care more about appearanceB．To call on people not to use apps on mobile phoneC．To call on people to learn something more important than appearanceD．To call on people not to spend too much time on comparison with othersE17、It's 7 a.m. in my hometown in Germany.

I offered him a (37)______ congratulations and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.“I’m, er﹣I’m just wondering if you would…consider coming to work on my team, ” he said (38) . “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager. ”“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to another table.All that night, I thought about the (39) from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process (选举过程) would give (40) a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.My first goal was to (41) a catchy advertisement.

They need to know their parents are there to give them needed love and support (支持) . Teens want to be sure that nothing can prevent parents from shouldering their responsibility for them not their growing maturity (成熟) , misbehavior, nor anger at something they have done. Teens want parents to keep control while allowing them to make some decisions.There are some ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close. One way is to spend time together. Parents often mistake their teens’ increased interest in friends for a disinterest in the family.Teens would like to spend more time doing things with their parents, but watching TV is not counted as spending time together. As your teens mature, it is important you and your teens spendtime alone together, one to one. Your teens need time to talk to you alone without any other family member present.Talk with your teens about their interests and concerns. Make sure you really show interest in what is happening. When talking with your teens, give full attention and do not stop them.The way to help your teens become adults is to let your teens into your world. Sharing your emotions and concerns with your teens is important. Avoid causing needless worry.Trust your teens. Don’t expect the worst. Hope for the best. Telling your teens you don’t like their friends will cause the teens not to bring their friends home. If something should go wrong, believe that your teens didn’t do it on purpose.It is very important that you treat your teens with respect. Teens need the same respect adults show for total strangers. Don’t talk down to your teens.You need to be supportive of your teens. What may be a small problem to you may be troubling to your teens. Teens don’t have the experiences that adults have had. Let the teens know that you understand how much it hurts when something happens that is upsetting or hurtful to them. As they mature, they can look back at some problems they had and laugh at having been upset by something that now seems unimportant.The most important things to remember are: talk with your teens, listen to their worries and offer suggestions when needed. This will help your teens to live a well-organized life.56. According to Paragraph 1, teens.A. can control themselvesB. expect direction and freedomC. don’t know how to make decisionsD. don’t have responsibility for the family57. The underlined part “counted as” in Paragraph 3 probably means “”.A. compared witB. used asC. connected withD. regarded as58. To help teens organize their lives, parents should.A. invite their teens’ friends homeB. leave their teens’ problems aloneC. share their feelings with their teensD. pay little attention to their teens’ daily lives59. What is the best title of the passage?A. Training Teens to Become Responsible AdultsB. Helping Teens to Build Reasonable StructureC. Improving the Relationship with Your TeensD. Stepping into Your Teens’ Secret World.Reading 3Arkansas may give up the BMI program or weaken it with the help of the new governor, who said it had “a lot of negative, unexpected results”.The number of overweight children in the United States has more than doubled in the past20 years. Being seriously overweight can lead to health problems later in life. As a result,Arkansas first started the BMI program in 2004﹣public schools were required to provide parents with a yearly report of their children’s body﹣mass index (BMI) , a number to show whether their weight is appropriate (合适的). Along with students’BMIs, parents also received information on health risks of being overweight.A study shows that obesity (肥胖) rates in Arkansas have stopped increasing since 2004.But not everyone supports schools in reporting students’ BMIs. Some parents have complained their kids worry that they are being “graded” on their weight, although Dr. Joe Thompson, who helped plan the BMI program, gave the explanation at the start of the program, “Just like a school check for vision or hearing, this is a way to raise awareness (意识) about a health risk.”Critics argue that telling parents their children weigh too much could hurt children’s self﹣esteem (自尊) . Some also question whether it’s the role of schools to monitor students’ weight.Dr. Nancy Krebs, a nutrition expert, also thinks obesity report cards aren’t good enough.“They’re making kids feel bad about how they are,’’ she says. “Instead of focusing on kids’BMIs, schools should provide better health and physical education classes and serve healthier foods.”However, supporters of the program say overweight children have had self﹣esteem problems before their parents get obesity report cards. Dr. Karen Young at Arkansas Children’s Hospital says, “The overweight kids are already being teased (被嘲弄) . It doesn’t take the letter for them to feel bad.”Health experts from the University of Arkansas think it would be a pity to stop the BMI program. They see the program as a wake﹣up call for families and the letter is spurring some major action on some parents. Danita Thomas said she knew her son Irie was too heavy. But since getting that first BMI report, Irie has lost nearly 100 pounds and given up junk food. “It was helpful,” she said. “It made me realize that we needed to do something different.”The BMI reports and other steps, such as limits on vending machine (自动售货机) use at school, are leading to healthier students. If there was no BMI program, there should be other effective tools to get schools and parents involved with preventing children from becoming overweight adults.1.

北京中考英语阅读冲刺(第五期)Reading 1Mum’s Christmas SurpriseMolly ran back home from school and dropped her schoolbag on the sofa. Then on the table she saw “Mum’s Wish Book”— a mail order catalog (商品目录) from a gift shop. “Mum,” she said excitedly to herself, “this year you’ll get the gloves you want!” Molly had walked a dog for a neighbor and saved her (31)all year to buy Mum the gloves.She opened “Mum’s Wish Book” and hoped that she could find these (32)______ in it. Tears ran down her face when she saw the gloves in the catalog. Mum wouldn’t buy them for herself, because the family had a (33)time on the farm. She once heard Mum say to Dad, “Maybe someday, I’ll have the money to get them.”Molly ran out by the back door and went straight to the post office. There she carefully filled out the order form torn from the catalog.“I need to buy a stamp to (34)the form.” She said to Mr. Smith, the only worker in the post office.“Umm, a pair of gloves?” said Mr. Smith, as he passed a stamp to her.“Yes, it’s a Christmas gift for Mum, but please don’t tell her. It’s our (35),OK?” Molly didn’t realize how white Mr. Smith’s beard was until that moment. In fact, he reminded her of Santa Claus.As Molly walked back home, she decided to tell Dad her secret. “You’ve got to check the mailbox every day,” said Molly (36)to Dad. He nodded, with a big smile.Coming home from school every day, Molly peeked at (偷看) Dad when Mum wasn’t (37),but every time he shook his head.On Christmas Eve, Dad came back from mailbox, still empty handed. Molly felt (38)when she went to bed, because she didn’t have the gloves for Mum.Before Christmas dinner, as Mum took the apple pies out of the oven, Molly began (39)the table. Suddenly, they heard someone pulling up the driveway. From the window they saw Mr. Smith making his way to the door, with a box in his hand. Mr. Smith (40)Mum the box, “I believe this is yours.”Mum looked from Dad to Molly and opened the box. Her eyes lit up when she saw the gloves. “Oh, who bought these for me?” she asked.“Santa did,” said Molly smilingly.“Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!” Mr. Smith, with a loud laugh.It was Christmas that no one would ever forget.31. A. time B. money C. energy D. food32. A. flowers B. sunglasses C. gloves D. chocolates33.

So not worth the time,” one of your friends says. The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue with them, you go along with the crowd.You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure (同伴压力), also called peer influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely angry.Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, or try out for sports.While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.52. According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that teens.A. like to play driving games with their friendsB. prefer situations where they have time to thinkC. may take more risks when their friends are aroundD. are slow in making decisions when they are on their own53. The words “in the heat of the moment” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “”.A. when teens avoid possible risksB. when teens trust their judgmentC. when teens lose control over their angerD. when teens give consideration to situations54. What can we learn from the passage?A. Teens are eager to be different from their peers.B. Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.C. Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.D. Tees think it challenging to get good grades at school.55. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?B. Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?C. Peer Pressure: Its Benefits to Teens and Friend MakingD. Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making.Reading 3During this age of technology, life moves fast and people only focus on what comes next, rather than living in the present. Often their daydreaming is centered on the “next” rather than the “now.”Technology is all about what’s next-the next innovation (创新), the next platform or the next device. This is most obvious with the iPhone. The iPhone X has just released, but businessmen and customers are already thinking about the next, newest iPhone. I am already counting the days until I can upgrade my iPhone.Throughout my adolescence (青春期), almost every single one of my peers have been too wrapped up with th e next “great” thing and put too much stress on themselves while losing sense of what is going on now or what they have achieved; it drives me totally crazy. Upon entering high school, I was excited to spend the next four years with my closest friends. Sadly, once I hit my sophomore year (高二), I began to worry about getting into a good college and what I needed to do for that to happen. By concentrating on what’s next, I seem to be missing what’s great about high school.Most students in high school look at education as a means to an end; something that will set them up for the next step. Due to this, they pay close attention to the teacher in class, not to enrich their knowledge, but to score high on the test, making them stronger candidates (候选人) for college. What is even more annoying is that universities are now forcing high school students to have a clear idea of what they want to do in life. Most colleges have specialized schools, such as business, nursing and education; in most cases, it is very difficult to switch out of or into one of the specialized schools. Therefore, high schoolers do actually have to focus on what’s next.When I go to college, all I am thinking about is still what comes next; that is, how to land a great job out of college. Everyone around seems to be like me. Actually, I truly hope that people who are in this very similar situation can figure out a way to make the “now” as important, if not more important, than the “next” in life.Taking all of this into consideration, the concept of what comes next is far too ingrained (根深蒂固的) into important things of life, such as technology and education. If people keep racing from one thing to the next, life will pass them by and in a hurry;no one will be able to look back on what they have experienced or achieved, because life will have become a blur (模糊).30. The writer mentions the iPhone in Paragraph 2 to show that .A. the newest iPhone is always the bestB. young customers like new technologyC. the iPhone X attracts the most attentionD. technology is all about what comes next31. What can we learn from the passage?A. High schoolers are forced to have clear ideas about their future jobs.B. Few students pay close attention to the teacher to score high on tests.C. Thinking too much about the present gives students too much pressure.D. Different activities make the students stronger candidates for the college.32. The writer probably agrees that .A. students now care too much about unimportant things in lifeB. future achievements depend on your plan in your high schoolC. college education usually makes a great difference to most of the peopleD. people should live in the “now” rather than only look ahead to the “next”33.

北京中考英语阅读冲刺(第三期)

北京中考英语阅读冲刺(第三期)Reading 1Santa Can Come before ChristmasIt was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables, when a young man asked me, “Can you tell me where the (35) counter (柜台) is?”“Well, the milk is in the lower right corner,” I replied. Picking up my things, I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man (36) almost 10 bottles of milk. I asked, “Do you need a basket or a trolley? “Sure, thank you,” he answered.I was (37) he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.I laughed and asked, “Why so many bottles? “He smiled and said, “These are for my street dogs. Today, I want to be a Santa (38) them.”I said, “Well, it’s too (39) for you to be a Santa. It is still June and Christmas comes in December. “He (40) at me and walked a few steps, as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.(41) , we met again at the bread counter. “So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa.” He smiled and said, “Yes. These are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June. Santa is a representation (象征) of surprises and (42) _Santa comes in December as we (43) him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us that shines through our personality at some point of time, no matter which month it is. Maybe when you offered help to me by getting me a trolley, there was a (44) Santa in you. When we offer food to a poor man or a(n) (45) to someone who is caught in the rain, we are being Santa there. So when you offer help to others or get help from others, just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”He left and I was happy that I had met him. It was right to understand that Santa can come before Christmas. We just need to realize that he is around us by (46)______ happiness and unconditional love.35. A. vegetable B. milk C. bread D. fish36. A. putting B. choosing C. holding D. bringing37. A. sad B. excited C. angry D. surprised38. A. for B. on C. of D. by39.

A. call B. show C. expect D. invite44. A. lost B. frozen C. forgotten D. hidden45. A. camera B. umbrella C. apple D. box46. A. storing B. facing C. spreading D. increasing.Reading 2New Technology Revolutionizes (变革) LearningMore and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home, ” a student explained.Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an importantpart. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.53. What does the expression “at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. According to their own timetable.B. Without their teachers’ help.C. Because of their wonderful goals.D. Against their parents’ hope.54. From the passage we can learn that.A. students with iPads have less discussion in classB. students get more fun from learning with iPadsC. iPads help students save time waiting for busesD. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams55. The writer probably agrees that.A. teachers can take control of students’ learningB. exam results depend a lot on now technologyC. technology in education has a bright futureD. note-taking is as helpful as video-watching.Reading 3A research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music. You know that thrill (兴奋) you get when listening to your favorite music? That exciting feeling when you hear your favorite songs? According to a recent study, it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading, but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions around how music, reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“We decided we would do a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see how the brain reacted, “explains Adam Zeman, a scientist. “ The participants (参与者) lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts, and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.” The texts ranged (涉及) from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones, including the Highway Code, parts from novels, and poems.So what happened in the participants’ brains while they were reading? Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed, participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts, there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says, “it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature (文学) and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesn’t seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That was one quite strong finding.”Introspection (内省)There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity that requires us to use the brain, but did the study find any truth of this? When the participants were reading poems, the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. “These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting, like thinking about what’s happened to us recently, thinking about what’s going to happen in the near future, about other people, and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetry than withother texts,” explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could be the subject of further research.ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says, “the study did support what we thought: reaction to literature was going to be a bit like the one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unanswered questions which we hope somebody will continue to ask.”31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like music does.32. What did the participants do in the study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities.33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.参考答案Reading1: 35-37 BCD 38-40 ABD 41-43 AAC 44-46 DBCReading2: 53-55 ABCReading3: 31-33 DBB。

北京中考英语阅读冲刺(第七期)ClozeA Meaningful GiftEmily was an eighth grader. To pass her Civics course (公民课程), she had to do some volunteer service in a nursing home for a week.One Monday, Emily went to the nursing home after school. When she arrived, she was told she would (31)an hour every weekday with an elderly lady, Mrs. Blair. She was then led into a room, where an old lady in a flowery dress was sitting on a sofa.Emily (32)awkwardly (别扭地) in front of the lady. She cleared her throat and said, “Good afternoon, I’m Emily.”“Good afternoon, Emily. Take a seat, please.” Mrs. Blair replied.Then, (33)filled the space between them. Emily wondered what to say.“Tell me about yourself, Emily, “Mrs. Blair said suddenly.“Well,” Emily started, “I don’t have any grandparents, so I can’t relate to elderly people much. I love the performing arts. I’m here mainly because I have to (34)______ here to get a good grade for my Civics class.”Mrs. Blair didn’t seem to (35). “Many people, especially teens, don’t seem to care about old people like me. Now you are here, and I’m going to change that about you. Ask me anything.”Emily thought for a moment, and finally decided, “What was your job?”“I was a Broadway star in the 1950s.” Mrs. Blair answered.“Cool! Can you tell me about it?” Emily asked, amazed.Mrs. Blair smiled. “Back then, only the lead actress had the honor to wear a (36) _______bracelet. I was the lead in almost all of the plays, so I always wore the bracelet. Till this day, I still have it.”Emily smiled along with Mts. Blair and listened to the other stories, attentively. She had become so interested in Mrs. Blair’s (37)that she decided to come earlier the next day.Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday passed by quickly. Then came Friday. As she was leaving, Emily was really (38)to say goodbye.“Don’t be sad. You can still visit me,” Mrs. Blair comforted her. She then handed a small box to Emily, “It’s my gift to you.”Emily (39)opened the box and was surprised to see what was inside. “It’s the bracelet that you wore. Thank you!” Emily said, with tears in her eyes. “I’m sure to visit you whenever I’m free.”On the way home, Emily thought of her own love for the performing arts. She touched the bracelet and made a (40)that she would keep her word to Mrs. Blair.31. A. waste B. spend C. plan D. exercise32. A. asked B. sat C. stood D. danced33.

A. dreams B. hobbies C. stories D. jokes38. A. upset B. confused C. surprised D. nervous39. A. proudly B. secretly C. worriedly D. carefully40. A. promise B. change C. judgment D. choiceReading 1We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self﹣improvement power is when everything gets worst.When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self﹣improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore (忽视) it.Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s for our own good.Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over theyears, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.30. The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that.A. we learn our lessons when we experience pain.B. we are responsible for the problems we meet.C. life fails us when we get into the wrong way.D. life is a long journey full of ups and downs.31. What is the key to solving Jane’s problem?A. She needs to remember why she started.B. She has to know how to get on with people.C. She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.D. She needs to understand the importance of confidence.32. The writer probably agrees that.A. the world tells us how to improve ourselves.B. people change when they find it easy to do that.C. welcoming change in life is a drive to become better.D. enjoying the process of self﹣improvement makes life simpler.33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Is it important to take things light?B. Is it necessary to embrace challenges?C. To hold on to the last moment or to give up?D. To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?Reading 2For years, the word “popular” has been demonized (妖魔化) and made the same as mini-skirt-wearing, hair-coloring cheerleader types like Regina George in Mean Girls. Today, teachers and parents inform children that being popular is irrelevant (不相干的), unnecessary and a sure shortcut to upset, misery, and death. And some people describe popular students as the ones most likely to bum out and end up as nobody, while their less well-liked counterparts enjoy a life of wealth and fame.However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines (定义) popularity as: “The state or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people.” This sounds like a lovely thing, and is not related to such behaviors as “burn books” or “three-way phone calls” in Mean Girls.In fact, it is a truth widely acknowledged that young people who feel liked or supported are more likely to obtain impressive achievements than those who feel lonely, unvalued, and irrelevant socially. So why, then, is popularity given such a had name? Why is this state of well-likedness so demonized?Basically, the hatred (恨) shown toward what appears to be a very pleasant thing is caused by lack of understanding. When we, as viewers, see characters such as Regina Georges on TV and in films, we recognize them to be popular. These characters, if not exactly liked, are greatly admired by their peers (同伴). Our mistake comes when we try to understand their cruel and unkind actions using the deduction (推论) method. Humans are imperfect, and even the most intelligent mind is open to dishonesty through a very small slip in logic. Unfortunately, this occurs here with branding results.We first learn that a character is popular. Since this is important to the plot, it is constantly emphasized, leading it to be the most common thing in our minds when we consider the character. Later, we see that character do something unkind. The character’s most noticeable characteristic (in our minds) is his/her popularity. And now the character is mean and unkind. This character is popular. Therefore, we jump to a quick conclusion (结论) that popular people are mean and unkind.Things such as improper behaviors and rumor-spreading are terrible and should always be seen in a very serious light. However, it is important to recognize that these are not the behaviors of popular people, but bullies.So, in summary, do not be afraid to be popular and have many friends. If you are kind to everyone and treat others with respect, there will be few who can criticize you, for being widely liked is not a curse but a blessing. Just remember that being popular does give you a degree of power, and with great power comes a large electricity bill!30. The writer mentions the definition of popularity in Paragraph 2 to .A. bring up his opinionB. give an exampleC. come to a conclusionD. offer his suggestion31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Being popular might offer a shortcut to a life of wealth.B. Students who feel supported have a better chance to achieve more.C. Popular students are usually famous but mean and unkind.D. The less well-liked people consider being popular as something bad.32. Paragraph 4 and 5 are mainly about .A. the importance of being admired by peersB. the ways to clear up some misunderstandingC. the advantages and disadvantages of being popularD. the reasons why people show hatred to being popular33. The writer probably agrees that .A. cheerleader types will surely end up as nobodyB. being popular is unnecessary for most studentsC. treating others with kindness is beneficial to popular peopleD. famous people are likely to make mistakes and be criticized参考答案Cloze 31-33 BCD 34-36 CAB 37-40 CADAReading 1 30-33 ACCDReading 2 30-33 ABDC。

Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But in its first six weeks, the hotline got 5 million calls from around the world. It has become very popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children. For Martin and Weiss, the project shows students that small acts can have a big influence. “If you have an idea, just try to do it and see what happens,” Weiss says.

Pretend play allows kids to think about what they experience in the world around them and re-create social relationships through play. Kids make sense of the world and copy the social interactions they see around them through imaginative play with friends, siblings, parents, and even stuffed animals. Kids will share with a teddy bear, give them a check-up, praise them for sharing, or make them some tea at a tea party. It’s not only adorable, but it’s a great way for kids to put into practice the interpersonal skills.
The power of kids’ imaginations is a fantastic thing. All they need is some time, space, and your encouragement, and they can be anything and go anywhere, just by pretending. They make up stories and adventures and create whole worlds without even thinking about it—this is creativity in its purest (纯粹的) form.

But some people will probably be puzzled when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, he often shakes his head. They might think that the Indian does not like what he said, but on the contrary, he is expressing agreement.The Indians have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody. It doesn't mean" No", but" Yes". If a person doesn't know this, it might cause misunderstanding.At one time a foreigner in India told his driver who was an Indian to take him to his office. The driver shook his head. The foreigner said his requ est again and the driver still shook his head. At last, the foreigner shouted angrily, “Drive me to my office at once!” The driver said in a low voice," Yes, sir, "smiling and shaking his head again at the same time. 1．Why did the Indian driver shake his head when the foreigner asked him to drive him to his office?A．Because the Indian driver had something important to doB．Because the foreigner agreed to give him only a little moneyC．Because the driver felt uncomfortable at that timeD．Because in India shaking the head means agreement2．The foreigner became angry because_______.A．the Indian driver didn't want to send him to his officeB．he misunderstood the meaning of shaking the head in IndiaC．he asked the driver to send him to his office, but the driver didn't say any wordsD．the Indian driver asked him for a lot of money3．Which of the following is True according to the passage?A．The Indians’ shaking heads means “Y es”.B．Shaking heads in India has the same meaning as in China.C．Finally the foreigner didn’t get to his office .D．The Indian driver was a deaf man.B14、 A new rubbish sorting system (垃圾分类系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it.“When th e rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money,” one of the local people told reporter. “It’s really creative and encouraging.”China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills (填埋场) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.What’s more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits (经济利益). For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successfully sorting systems.Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins.In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins—the red lid (盖子) bin for “general waste” like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for “recycling” like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for “green waste” such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.1．What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community? A．A computer. B．A car. C．A lot of money. D．Some small gifts.2．Which of the following is NOT the result of burying rubbish?A．Polluting soil. B．Polluting water.C．Taking up a lot of land. D．Saving resources.3．Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting?A．Paragraph 3. B．Paragraph 4. C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 6.4．In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in?A．The red lid bin. B．The yellow lid bin.C．The green lid bin. D．The black lid bin.5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable wastes.B．In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.C．Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin unless they move away the wrapper first.D．In Australia, much of the rubbish is buried in soil or burned without being sorted.C15、Jewel’s Online Footwear StoreLeather Dress ShoesPrice: $120.00Color: Black Leather Brown Leather Red Leather Yellow LeatherAverage Rating: 3 out of 5 starsShipping Info : Standard: 7-10 business days/ Express: 3-5 daysCustomer Reviews1.★★★★★My favorite shoes!

The closest I had ever got was a kiddie-coaster when I was six. It was probably six feet tall, but I had it stopped even before we got up to the first slope.So today I just waited for my friends while they took the 53 mph roller-coaster-riding. As they stepped off the ride,they all tried to persuade (说服) me to follow them onto the next one. roller coaster"Come on, Lisi!" Jennifer said, "You're so boring! Just come with us!""It's not that scary," added Jackie, "I'll sit next to you.""Look: This is the slowest ride in the park!"

Of course everyone had come out alive so far, but you never know what will happen.As we stood in line, I got more scared. "It looks really big from down here," I worried out loud.Finally, we reached the front of the line. I sat in a seat with Jackie and said that I would not let go of her hand until we were safely off the ride. As soon as we started moving, I began to scream and held Jackie's hand tightly. We started to climb the slope toward the highest point of the ride.WHOOOOSH!It felt as if something had broken. We started falling fast. The wind blew hard and it seemed like my face would blow off.I screamed so loud that I couldn't hear myself anymore. Oh my gosh, we weren't going to stop! I knew it. This had been a terrible idea. I closed my eyes, never stopping my scream.CLUNK!The ride came suddenly to a stop. I opened my eyes. We were back where we started! I hadn't died! I stepped off the ride, tired and dizzy. My friends looked at me, searching for my reaction."Can we do that again?" I said in a low voice.1．What happened when Lisi was on a kiddie-coaster at six?A．She fell off the ride.

SamChee works on a very different type of farm, in the center of the Canadian city of Toronto. “We grow fruit, vegetables and herbs,” says Sam. “But not many people know the farm is here. You can’t see it from the street. We’re on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New Y ork and London. The roofs of buildings are often just wasted space, but this space can be used for growing good fresh food, right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works. “We grow everything in big boxes—there are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to water the plants when the weather is dry.”The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of the building. The farm produces about half the restaurant’s fruit and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. “We help to keep food production local. We don’t n eed to transport this food from anywhere and that saves energy. It’s better for the environment.”The food from the rooftop is fresher too. “When the fruit and vegetables are ripe we can pick them and use them right away. They taste better when they’re really fresh,” says Sam. “I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.”1．Green Garden’s rooftop farm is.A．the only one in the world B．in the middle of a small townC．one of many in cities around the world D．near the countryside of a city2．The fruit and vegetables Sam grows are .A．used in a restaurant in the same building B．sold to restaurants to cook dishes for peopleC．taken to a restaurant in another building D．given to people who work in the building3．Sam thinks the food from the rooftop is better than that bought from other places because .A．it is much cheaper and fresher B．it tastes better and is better for the environmentC．it uses space which was being wasted D．it can’t be bought in the local stores4．According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?A．The farm is on the top of a teaching building, 50 meters above the ground.B．The plants are watered by collected rainwater when necessary.C．Y ou can find more rooftop farms in the country than in the city.D．When they pick the fruit and vegetables, they won’t use them at once.5．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To describe what rooftop farming is by giving an example.B．To describe why rooftop farming has become very popular in Canada.C．To tell the story of the man who first started rooftop farming.D．To encourage people to build as many rooftop farms as possible.B14、Cows that are named and treated with a “more personal touch” can increase milk production by up to 500 pints a year.The study, by the university’s School of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, involved(包括) 516 farmers across the UK.The study found farmers who named their cows got a 54% higher production than those that did not give their cows names. Dairy farmer Dennis Gibb said he believed treating every cow as an individual(个体) was very important. “They aren’t just our means of making money. They’re part of the family,” he said. “We love our cows here and every one of them has a name. All of us r egard them as ‘our ladies’ but we know every one of them and each one has her own personality.”Dr Catherine Douglas said, “What our study shows is what many good, caring farmers have long since believed. Our data suggests that UK dairy farmers regard their cows as intelligent beings(智能动物). They are able to experience a range of emotions(情感的领域).”“Placing more importance on knowing the individual animals and calling them by name can, at no extra cost to the farmer, also increase milk production.”根据短文内容选择最佳答案，将其标号填入题前括号内。

Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species (物种) found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining (衰弱) population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The Wall butterfly cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.Luckily, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Scientists believe the warm weather will be good news to the butterflies.Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a sig nal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UK’s butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help more and more people realize the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give a symbol of the well-being of nature and the environment.1．What has the survey taken by Butterfly Conservation found?A．The UK butterflies enjoy a cool climate.B．The UK butterflies prefer settling in the north.C．The number of the UK butterflies is getting smaller.D．Butterflies make the British summer more attractive.2．How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?A．By listing examples (举例子). B．By providing data (列数据).C．By giving explanations (作解释). D．By making comments (作评价).3．What does the underlined word “degrading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Turning better. B．Getting worse.C．Keeping the same. D．Becoming different.4．Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to ______.A．warn people to care more about the change of weatherB．keep the charity running more smoothly than ever beforeC．help the British government protect nature and the environmentD．help the British better understand how important the butterflies areB14、Dogs have long been regarded as a loyal（忠实的）friend of humans. They are not only a good companion to their owners, but also a security guard in some way. However, in fact, dogs do more things than just that. Recently, a British middle school has invited a dog to the classroom. Why? For fun? For security? Or for experiments?Flossie, a ten-month-old poodle, says “No” to all the above guesses. He is there to help increase students’ reading confidence. It is a little hard to believe, but it’s real.Vice-headmaster Sue Frost is responsible for training and taking care of the dog. She said, “Flossie has a great_____on students.They are willing to read for him. This is really a good way for students to learn more new words and make new progress.”Flossie is quite popular among students. Jacob Wicks, an 11-year-old schoolboy, entered the school last November. He said, “I think Flossie is a lovely dog. He always listens to me quietly when I am reading. There is no need for me to worry about negative comments if I don’t read well.” Another student named Jordan Leatherhead said that he liked reading Guinness world Records for Flossie, and that Flossie like listening to him because there are many records about dogs and other animals in the book.Wow! This is really an interesting teaching method. Why not have a try if you have a pet dog at home?根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

But too much Internet use by teens – or too little, for that matter – might be related to depression (抑郁), a new study finds.The findings, reported in the Journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For on e, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms (症状). Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non – use, could show that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr. Pierre – Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne,Switzerland, surveyed 7, 200 individuals ages 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who were online more than two hours per da y were considered ―heavy‖ Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered ―regular‖ users.The teenagers also answered a number of health – related questions, including some standard questions ab out ―depressive tendencies‖ (抑郁倾向) that show how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non – users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among boys, heavy users and non – users were both around one – third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to ―regular‖ users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non –users had a 46 percent compared to regular users.Since teenagers typically go online to connect with friends. The researches find that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.56. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A.Teenagers never go online are good students.B.Teenagers never go online may get depression.C.Surfing the Internet for teenagers is bad behavior.D.Internet is the reason of teenager’s depression.57.

What’s the meaning of the word isolated in the last paragraph?A. Independent.B. United.C. SeparateD. Humorous.（2012朝阳一模）CWhen I moved to the country 20 years ago, I took a job as a school bus driver. I’d never had any interest in driving schoolchildren to and from school, but 10 years later, I was still working on the school bus.There are so many good reasons why I stayed. Firstly, it was the conversations that brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers who were afraid to be starting at a new school. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently for them to get on for the trip home.Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, ―Look, Miss! Look at the camels!‖ He used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a fly would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he smartly gave up the habit.I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and cried loudly all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus stairs, she threw her arms around my neck and sobbed (抽泣) that her grandfather had died the night before.A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back. My catchphrase (口头禅) each day was that I was ―taking the monsters (怪兽) to their mothers‖.Now, it’s necessary to think how many lives I’ve been responsible for throughout the years, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely. I’ve enjoyed it, but after 20 years, it’s time to rest and par k my school bus for good. Long live the school bus driver!53. When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?A. 5 years ago.B. 10 years ago.C. 20 years ago.D. 30 years ago.54. The writer enjoyed her job because ______.A. driving was her hobbyB. children made her valuableC. drivers were paid wellD. she liked the environment55. What is the writer’s future plan?A. She decides to give up the job.B. She tries to go on driving.C. She wants to have a holiday.D. She hopes to have more kids.（2012朝阳一模）DNot long ago, I opened an interesting e-mail from Jennifer in Canada. We became friends. One day, she invited me and 11 other women to a ―Movie Night‖ to be held every six weeks at her house. We’d talk, eat and watch feel-good movies. I e-mailed her back immediately: I was in.Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifer’s make sense. In a US study, researchers measured (测量) the happiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).―People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,‖ says Dr. Toupey Luft. ―Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.‖ With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的) relationships to your social circle. Here’s how:―Nobody is all positive or all negative,‖ says Luft. ―But there are people you may feel more positive. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.‖ When spending time with others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. ―But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,‖ says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, ―Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.‖―If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, t ry talking about what you both need,‖ says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives. While your friend may need to be left alone, you may want caring phone calls. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.56. What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?A. How many friends you have.B. How people you connect with feel.C. What situation you are in now.D. What kind of friends you have.57. What does the first suggestion want us to do?A. To measure our happiness.B. To check people around.C. To join a group for hobbies.D. To leave negative friends.58. Which of the following is true?A. All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.B. It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long.C. Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.D. We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.59. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.A. when your friend leaves you, you need comfortB. when your friend is sad, you should call her upC. people may behave differently during hard timesD. friends’ needs may be quite different sometimes（2012大兴一模）CI love my iPhone---it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me.I also love my computer, as it stores all of my writing and thoughts. Though I love these devices(装置) of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from them and truly communicate with others.I teach history in a high school. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes(主题) and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and share their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule---no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule before class, some of them were not happy at all.Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students believe that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions(打断) by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and s tudents realize that with deep conversation, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.53. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A. The reasons why students should use computers or iPads in class.B. The advantages of using cell phones and computers in the classroom.C. What the writer is trying to do and what rule has been made in class.D. A new learning style that the teacher enjoys using in history class.54. According to the writer, the use of technology in the classroom may _____.A. improve teaching and offer more helpB. allow students to get on well with each otherC. help students concentrate on what they learnD. keep students from making deep conversations55. What can we infer from the passage?A. The teacher will carry on the success in the future.B. The teacher will have to cancel the rule in class.C. Some students will be punished according to the rule.D. More and more students will be absent in history class.（2012大兴一模）DThe ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful inanother way. Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.―Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being liftedup by a wave?‖ asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group in Scotland.―There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.‖Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity. The UnitedStates and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy,and it is already being used in Scotland.Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. ―The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,‖ Taylor said. ―Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.‖When waves come towards the coast, people can set up dams(大坝) to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮). The turbine can then power an electrical generator(发电机).We will never run out of wave power. Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as oil and coal do.Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface. That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world. But there are some disadvantages that need us to pay more attention to.Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money. He said that its influence on animals in the sea is still unknown. Besides, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.With more research, ―Many of these problems might be solved,‖ Taylor said. ―Finding more energy sources(资源) is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.‖In the future, when you turn on a light button, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!56. We can learn from the passage that__________________.A. almost every country is making use of the wave power at presentB. it is necessary for us to develop wave power instead of oil and coalC. wave power will be sure to make some bad influence on sea animalsD. scientists are making efforts to find new ways of fishing and boat traffic57. What does the fourth paragraph tell us?A. Why scientists are doing the research on wave power.B. What experience that scientists have achieved so far.C. How the wave energy forms and grows bigger.D. Which countries are trying out wave power.58. What’s the writer’s attitude towards wave power?A. The writer believes that wave power will be used widely by man.B. The writer doubts if wave energy can be changed into electricity.C. The writer is sure the experiments will come to the end some day.D. The writer thinks that wave power isn’t worth researching at all.59. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Sea Animals and Wave Power.B. How Do We Get Wave Energy?C. The Advantages of Wave Power.D. Can Waves Make Electricity?（2012 东城一模）CFlorida school children chose the panther as the state animal. Florida panthers are a type of mountain lion. The Florida panther is the only group of mountain lions east of the Mississippi River. The panther stands for beauty and power of life.Is the Florida panther endangered?In 1967 the government listed the Florida panther as endangered. Endangered means that without human help an animal or plant will become extinct . Extinct means that the animal or plant will never again stay alive on earth.What do Florida panthers look like?Panthers are about 10 times as big as a housecat. Like all cats they have very sharp claws and teeth. They need sharp claws and teeth to kill and eat their food. Florida panthers are tawny (the same color as deer). The fur on their bellies and the inside of their legs is lighter, and the fur on their backs, tails, and legs is darker. These are Florida panther paw prints:What do Florida panthers eat?Panthers only eat meat. Panthers eat deer, wild hogs, raccoons, armadillos, and rabbits. Sometimes they eat birds and even alligators. No panther has ever even killed a person.What kinds of families do panthers have?Panther females and kittens make up the panther family. The father does not help take care of the kittens. Panthers may have from 1 to 4 kittens. Panthers leave their mothers when they are about 2 years old. Growing up is harder for boy panthers than girl panthers. Girls often stay near their mother. Boys must try to find a home range of their own.Where do Florida panthers live?Panthers need lots of land. The area where a panther hunts is its home range. They prefer hardwood hammocks and pine forest with lots of palmettos for their range. Panthers usually rest Front pawLength: 3 inchesWidth: 3.5 inchesHind paw Length: 3 inches Width: 3 inchesduring the day hidden in thickets of palmetto. At dusk they begin to travel and hunt. Unless you are very lucky, you will probably never see a panther in the wild. But you can help them by protecting the lands they need to keep alive.
