【2011扬州】
After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth­sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态) water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life. The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light­years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿) kilometres—500 million times farther away from us than the moon.
A spacecraft travelling at a one­tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g withi n about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one­tenth light­speed mark.
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Glliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜) towards the planet and search for radiation(放射). By studying the radiation, scientists could find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly. People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.
( )1. What did scientists find in September 2010?
A. A planet with water.
B. A planet similar to the earth.
C. A planet without life.
D. A planet near the earth.
( )2. According to the article, Glises 581g ________.
A. is at the right distance from its star
B. moves around the earth
C. is as far away from us as the moon
D. can be reached in about 220 years
( )3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581g
B. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g
C. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g
D. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g
( )4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?
A. Glises 581g, a Likely Living Planet
B. Glises 581, a Likely Living Planet
C. Gliese 581g and Its star
D. Gliese 581g and Radiation

【溧水区2014中考模拟】C
Yesterday I went to the nursing home to visit my grandma. She just got out of the hospital recently where she had some serious operations. I wanted to surprise her after work, so I stopped by for a quick visit.
When I got there, she was happy to see me. We hugged, kissed and exchanged greetings. Then I heard a woman crying. It was my grandma’s roommate. The curtain was drawn so I could not see her. She started calling out a name that wasn’t mine but she was certainly talking to me, begging me to go to her side of the room.
I ignored her at first and continued visiting with my grandma. Then she started begging and saying, “Please, come to see me!” So I went to see her.
When I drew the curtain back, she looked so old but flashed me the biggest smile! She opened her arms wide for me to hug her so I bent low and gave her a hug. I sat on her bed and talked with her for a few minutes. She kept calling me by the other name but I did not correct her. She told me stories as if I had been there when they happened.
Finally I went back to visit with my grandma. Then the woman started crying again, saying, “Please, come back.” She finally slept.
I stopped by the nurse’s station and the nurse told me that the lady suffers
from Alzheimer’s. I mentioned the name she had called me. The nurse told me it was the lady’s daughter’s name. Then I understood why she wanted me to go to visit her.

【溧水区2014中考模拟】D
Recently the “China dream” has been the subject of a
public topic. Although it is quite common for Chinese people
to dream of an empowered or a prosperous(繁荣) China, most
people also have their own dreams. Throughout China’s
thousands of years of history, these “China dreams” have
always existed. Do you have a “China dream”? I brought up this topic with several young Chinese students with higher U.S. educational backgrounds. Unsurprisingly, they all had their own heartfelt hopes and dreams for their native country.
Fred Wang, an MBA candidate in the U.S. said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China. Equality means all young people can compete fairly, based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”
Yujie Zhao, another MBA candidate in California said, “I dream of a happy family with an affordable home. I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line, and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they retire(退休).” She said, “It seems like all my dreams are about family, but it is so true for most Chinese young dreamers today.”
Yiqiong Zhang, an MBA graduate from the US shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build and manage a small bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life: to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year. This may be a common dream among young Chinese students.”
There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own “China dream”. They all love China, they all love chasing their dreams. Beautiful “China Dream”requires hard work. Everyone should work hard to make their dream come true.
36. Which is right about the three young Chinese students?
A. They receive higher education in China.
B. They have their own hopes and dreams for China.
C. They receive education of all levels in America.
D. They have their own hopes and dreams for America.
37. What does the word “compete” in the second paragraph mean?
A. 对待
B. 完成
C. 竞争
D. 成功
38. Yujie Zhao hopes that ___________.
A. all young people can have equal opportunities
B. she can have a happy family with a big house
C. her children can receive the best education in America
D. she can look after her parents well when they are old
39. Which one is NOT Yiqiong Zhang’s dream?
A. Working hard for about 20 to 25 years.
B. Managing a small bookstore or a flower shop.
C. Playing the piano and hiking in her free time.
D. Having a two-month holiday every year.
40. From the passage we can learn that ____________.
A. “China Dream” is very difficult to come true.
B. “China Dream” does need everyone’s hard work.
C. “China Dream” is a subject we need to study in China.
